00:00:00Okay, Pearl, this is it, Aiden Armstrong is single, this is your last chance to lose your
00:00:17virginity before college ends.
00:00:32Oh my god, isn't that Pearl, the library girl?
00:00:34As in that weird nerd who spends all her time snuffing books?
00:00:38Yeah, I'd hide in books too if I looked like that.
00:00:46Yeah, run back to the library, you ugly gremlin.
00:01:02Could this day get any worse?
00:01:24Uh, hello?
00:01:30I can explain.
00:01:46Explain what?
00:01:49You're naked in my closet!
00:01:52I need your help.
00:01:53Ew!
00:01:54Not, not, no, not like that.
00:01:55I, I, look, this, this old crazy fling came looking for me.
00:01:58I was in the dorm shower with a freshman and I needed a place to hide, the door was unlocked
00:02:03and I panicked.
00:02:04Wait a second, you're, you're Ethan Hart, the most popular senior, the ultimate heartbreaker,
00:02:15the infamous bad boy who never sleeps with the same girl twice, the guy who supposedly
00:02:20has the biggest you-know-what on campus.
00:02:24That rumor is definitely true.
00:02:28Ethan, where are you?
00:02:31Okay, yes, yeah, I'm Ethan Hart, maybe we can do the introductions later, this is an
00:02:35emergency situation.
00:02:36I'm sorry, your emergency situation is not my problem.
00:02:40No, please, please, just let me hide until she's gone, I will do anything.
00:02:46Uh, anything?
00:02:55Anything, anything, just, just help me out here.
00:02:57No, I, I can't help you out, I, I know about your reputation and everyone calls you the
00:03:03heartbreaker, I am not going to let you hurt that poor girl.
00:03:06How could I hurt Veronica Steele?
00:03:09Wait.
00:03:10I'm lucky if she doesn't hurt me, physically.
00:03:14Veronica.
00:03:15Yes, Veronica, we hooked up once and she will not leave me alone.
00:03:23Please, just, I will do anything.
00:03:26Ethan, where are you?
00:03:28What, what's your name, what's your name?
00:03:31Uh, Pearl.
00:03:32Pearl?
00:03:33Pearl.
00:03:34I will do anything.
00:03:41Fine, you owe me one though, get in the closet and be quiet, okay?
00:03:52You, I heard voices in here.
00:03:55It was just me, I was practicing my lines, I'm a theater major.
00:04:01I'm looking for Ethan.
00:04:03Um, who's, who's Ethan?
00:04:06Oh, come on, everyone knows who he is, even someone like you.
00:04:09Oh, that Ethan, he's a big track and field star, has a lot of friends, usually wears clothes.
00:04:19No, no, I have not seen him tonight, I'm sorry.
00:04:26Are you lying to me?
00:04:29Why would Ethan Hart be in my room?
00:04:34You know what?
00:04:35You're right.
00:04:37Ethan Hart wouldn't even look at a girl like you, if he was forced to.
00:04:41A girl like me?
00:04:43How do I put this nicely?
00:04:45Nerdy, boring, dull, forgettable, hard to look at, embarrassing.
00:04:52Speaking of, I caught this little tumble of yours on camera earlier.
00:04:57So, if you're lying to me about Ethan, or if you even think about going near him,
00:05:03I'll release that video to the entire school.
00:05:06Imagine everyone seeing you fall, like the clumsy loser you are.
00:05:16Aww, still ugly.
00:05:20I'm sorry about her. I'll get you a new pair of glasses.
00:05:24It's fine, it doesn't even matter, glasses or not.
00:05:28She's right.
00:05:33She's not.
00:05:35She's just a mean and bitter bully.
00:05:38I'm sorry.
00:05:40I'm sorry.
00:05:42I'm sorry.
00:05:44I'm sorry.
00:05:46She's not.
00:05:48She's just a mean and bitter bully whose life is so boring she gets off on hurting others.
00:06:00I think the glasses are kind of hot.
00:06:09Anyway, thanks again.
00:06:13Wait, what about my favor?
00:06:17You said that if I helped you, you'd give me anything I wanted, and I know what I want.
00:06:23Oh my god, shit, she wants me.
00:06:26Right, um, listen, Pearl, you seem like a cool girl, I appreciate...
00:06:32It was nice to meet you, but you're not really...
00:06:36How do I say this?
00:06:37I want him.
00:06:40How do I say this?
00:06:41I want him.
00:06:44Aiden Armstrong? Seriously?
00:06:47He's like the most generic jock ever.
00:06:50Exactly, I know, he's totally out of my league, but he's finally single for the first time in three years, and I want my chance.
00:06:57I will not graduate college a virgin, and he's the only person I'd even consider sleeping with on this campus,
00:07:02so please just don't try and talk me out of it, I've decided.
00:07:07You're a virgin?
00:07:10Wow, um, I just said that out loud, didn't I?
00:07:14No, it's okay, your not-so-dirty little secret is safe with me.
00:07:22And I'll help you get Aiden.
00:07:25In fact, there's a party tonight, and it just so happens I know where he'll be at.
00:07:30Really? I don't really do the party thing, though.
00:07:35I hate to break it to you, but if you want Aiden, you gotta hit the party scene.
00:07:40Maybe just not like this.
00:07:45Maybe your glass is broke, for a reason.
00:07:54Trust me, Pearl, my cousin, she knows what she's doing.
00:07:58She's a fashion major.
00:08:06Told you.
00:08:16Ethan, this is new.
00:08:20Oh, no, we're not hooking up. We're here for fashion advice. Can you help?
00:08:26Oh, heck yeah! It's not too often I get to start from scratch.
00:08:30Actually, this might be worse than that.
00:08:33No offense.
00:08:35None taken.
00:08:45It's a lot, I know. I'm prepping for the Sheen X pitch. Got lots of designs going.
00:08:53You work with Sheen?
00:08:55I want to. They have this creator incubator program.
00:08:58It gives young designers like me a chance to show our stuff to the world. It's actually pretty dope.
00:09:03Yeah, that's really dope.
00:09:05So, Pearl, what look are you going for?
00:09:08She's trying to catch the eye of the basketball captain.
00:09:11Then she needs to go from zero to jaw-dropping.
00:09:15Something that says I'm not the library girl.
00:09:18Okay, this isn't just changing your outfits, this is creating your style.
00:09:23I don't know my style.
00:09:25I don't know my style.
00:09:27Why do you think we shop with Sheen?
00:09:32They've got so many different options. One of them is going to have to work for you.
00:09:38Okay.
00:09:40Let's start with Sheen Frenchie. You like books, right?
00:09:44Yes.
00:09:45We can make you a European lady. A hot one.
00:09:49Okay.
00:09:56Ugh.
00:10:01Ugh.
00:10:08Oh.
00:10:26Holy smokeshow.
00:10:29How do I look?
00:10:34Ethan?
00:10:36Sorry, I think my brain's short-circuiting.
00:10:39In a good way?
00:10:41In the best way.
00:10:44Pearl, you look fucking incredible.
00:10:50You look fucking incredible.
00:10:55And Aiden, he's going to eat you up.
00:10:59Let's get to that party.
00:11:03Alright Pearl, follow these three rules and Aiden is yours.
00:11:08Okay, hit me.
00:11:10Number one, Aiden thinks he's hilarious, so just laugh at all his stupid jokes.
00:11:17Um, alright.
00:11:19Number two, Aiden loves himself. Just shower him with compliments.
00:11:25Compliments, check.
00:11:27And number three, bro is like obsessed with fitness, so just pretend you're two and he will eat that up like protein.
00:11:35Okay, okay, okay, I got this.
00:11:38That's the spirit.
00:11:40And remember, confidence is key. Just go in there, act like you own the place, and he won't be able to resist you.
00:11:49Wait, wait, where are you going?
00:11:52You gotta do this without me.
00:11:54No, no, no, no, no, I am not walking in there alone.
00:11:57You can, and you will.
00:12:01Pearl, you look beautiful, and there's no way he's not going to notice you.
00:12:10Okay, I've got this.
00:12:40Pearl Simmons?
00:12:42No way, a library girl?
00:12:48Who's that?
00:12:55What do you think you're doing?
00:12:57Yeah, did you get lost on your way from the library?
00:12:59A book isn't a plus one. It's too bad about your broken glasses, Pearl.
00:13:03But don't worry, I can help show you the exit.
00:13:07Remember Ethan's advice, confidence is key.
00:13:11Glasses or not, Veronica, I can see right through you.
00:13:15Your insults are just about as transparent as your need for attention.
00:13:22Okay, I see that you're trying to have your, like, little moment or whatever,
00:13:27but why don't you just leave before you embarrass yourself like you did on the basketball court?
00:13:32Get off of me!
00:13:35Hey!
00:13:38I don't think so.
00:13:44She's with me.
00:13:50Excuse me?
00:13:51You heard me. And from what I just heard, you all sound real jealous.
00:13:57Jealous? Of her? Please.
00:14:01Yeah. Yeah, because she's a showstopper.
00:14:04She's making you all look like little sideshow freaks.
00:14:07You're making a mistake, Ethan.
00:14:09The only mistake I made was what happened between us last year.
00:14:14Now if you'll excuse us, we have better places to be.
00:14:21Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
00:14:25Thanks for that.
00:14:27No problem. That was a long time coming.
00:14:30And your advice totally worked.
00:14:32What advice?
00:14:33About the confidence.
00:14:35I think I really got under Veronica's skin.
00:14:38See? What did I tell you?
00:14:40I bet you feel great.
00:14:41I feel amazing. It felt amazing.
00:14:46Uh, we should forget about Veronica.
00:14:48Because there's your target. Twelve o'clock.
00:14:52Okay. I'm going in.
00:14:55Wait.
00:14:56What? Oh my god, is there something in my teeth?
00:14:58No. I...
00:15:01Um...
00:15:03N-nothing.
00:15:05Good luck.
00:15:12Confidence is key.
00:15:14Whoa!
00:15:16Are you okay?
00:15:17I'm fine. It's just these heels. I'm not used to them, I guess.
00:15:21Hi.
00:15:23Hi.
00:15:24Um, thank you for saving me.
00:15:28Have I seen you somewhere before?
00:15:30Maybe at the gym?
00:15:31You work out?
00:15:32Yeah. Uh, only on days that end with Y.
00:15:38I'm Aiden, by the way.
00:15:39Uh, I'm Pearl. Nice to meet you.
00:15:42Hey, are you busy right now? A few of us are gonna get a game going.
00:15:45Uh, what kind of game?
00:15:50Pearl, come on.
00:15:51Okay.
00:15:52Come on, heartbreaker. What, are you too scared?
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:56I'm kidding.
00:15:59Okay, the rules are simple.
00:16:01If the bottle lands on you, you have the choice to kiss someone or take a dare.
00:16:09Who's gonna spin first?
00:16:11Me.
00:16:13I like being on top.
00:16:15Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
00:16:25No, no, no. I choose dare. Bring it on.
00:16:32I dare you to take off your shirt.
00:16:37No problem.
00:16:41It's not like you haven't seen it before.
00:16:46Ugh.
00:16:58What will it be, library girl?
00:17:00Um.
00:17:02Dare.
00:17:04Dare?
00:17:07I dare you to kiss Aiden.
00:17:09Oh.
00:17:11That's not how it works, Veronica. She chose dare, not kiss.
00:17:15There's no rules against it.
00:17:17Unless, that is, it's too much for you, Pearl.
00:17:20This is like your first party, isn't it?
00:17:33I'll do it.
00:17:36This is it.
00:17:38This is it.
00:17:39The moment I've waited my entire life for.
00:17:41My first kiss.
00:17:43And it's for the man of my dreams.
00:17:45This is going to be perfect.
00:18:08That was so hot.
00:18:12Yeah. Um.
00:18:15Amazing.
00:18:18My turn.
00:18:32Veronica, kiss or dare?
00:18:34Dare.
00:18:35I dare you to tell us something really embarrassing.
00:18:38Oh, I'm so glad you asked.
00:18:40Because I actually saw something very embarrassing today.
00:18:44Some sad, gross little weirdo got hit in the face with a basketball.
00:18:51That's not how the game works, Veronica.
00:18:53You have to say something embarrassing about yourself.
00:18:55That's not what she said, Ethan.
00:18:57She said to tell everyone something embarrassing.
00:19:01Dude, I saw that girl too.
00:19:03Some creeper with glasses.
00:19:05What was she doing hanging around the court anyways?
00:19:07Good question.
00:19:09Maybe Pearl knows.
00:19:34Whoa.
00:19:35Couldn't get enough the first time, huh?
00:19:40Um, I have to go.
00:19:54Pearl, wait.
00:19:56You okay?
00:19:57I'm fine.
00:19:59You're not fine.
00:20:00What made you so upset back there?
00:20:02Look, I was the girl in the video that got hit in the face with a basketball.
00:20:08And if Ethan finds out, then everything's going to be ruined.
00:20:12Yikes.
00:20:14Okay, I'm sorry.
00:20:15Does it really matter if things are ruined?
00:20:18The kiss was horrible. Both of them.
00:20:21Yeah, but it was all my fault.
00:20:24It was my first kiss. I didn't even know what I was doing.
00:20:26No, it's not your fault, Pearl.
00:20:28Pearl, you should know that kisses aren't like the movies.
00:20:32They're awkward sometimes.
00:20:35I thought first kisses were supposed to be like, I don't know, magical or something.
00:20:40Yeah, but your first kiss was with Aiden.
00:20:43And Aiden is, um, well, he's Aiden.
00:20:48This whole thing was such a bad idea.
00:20:51I'm so stupid.
00:20:52Oh, Pearl, don't say that.
00:20:54You just need to find the right guy to kiss.
00:20:58What?
00:21:09Veronica, watch it!
00:21:11Oops, didn't see you there.
00:21:13Sorry, it's not my fault. She's practically invisible.
00:21:28You know what? This outfit wasn't really my style anyways.
00:21:31What? What are you doing?
00:21:34Confidence is key.
00:21:36Right?
00:21:45Um.
00:21:46Wow. Watch this.
00:21:53Hell yes, Pearl. I'm in.
00:21:56I'm in.
00:21:57Skinny dipping in the pool.
00:22:03Let's go, let's go.
00:22:12I can't believe I ruined my first party and my first kiss.
00:22:15So embarrassing.
00:22:16Are you kidding?
00:22:17That was awesome.
00:22:18Yeah? Really?
00:22:20Yeah. You're quite something, Pearl Simmons.
00:22:25Ethan, what are you doing?
00:22:30Ready?
00:22:34I thought it was supposed to be fun.
00:22:35I almost drowned.
00:22:37Well, you didn't.
00:22:40Oh, my God. I can't believe I'm naked in a pool right now.
00:22:43Almost naked. And just relax. Go with it. Nobody's judging.
00:22:47I just feel kind of good to be wild.
00:22:50Kind of good to be wild.
00:22:53I feel like I'm finally doing college right.
00:22:57Well, I like wild a bit.
00:23:09Cheers to wild.
00:23:10Cheers to wild.
00:23:14Pearl, got a minute?
00:23:17Um, yeah. Yeah, of course.
00:23:20I'll let you guys talk. I'll go work on my cannonballs.
00:23:27So, about those kisses earlier.
00:23:29Oh, I'm sorry.
00:23:30For what?
00:23:31I'm sorry. It was, um, it was my first kiss.
00:23:35Wait, what? That was your first kiss? Like, ever?
00:23:39No. I mean, um, no. No, it wasn't.
00:23:43Hey, Pearl. I'm honored to be your first.
00:23:47You are?
00:23:48Yes. Being someone's first is really special.
00:23:53He's into this. He's into me.
00:23:55I might as well kiss my virginity goodbye.
00:24:00It is, um, it's really important that it's with the right person.
00:24:07Now that we go for another first.
00:24:11Pearl, can I take you out?
00:24:15Can I take you out?
00:24:18Like, on a date?
00:24:20Yeah. Like, on a date.
00:24:22Wow! Yes! I mean, yes, of course you can.
00:24:26Great. Call you tomorrow.
00:24:29Okay.
00:24:35Oh my god! Aiden just asked me out on a date!
00:24:39Of course he did.
00:24:42Thank you so much for hiding in my closet naked, Ethan.
00:24:46It's all, I want to tell you.
00:24:51Oh my god. I've never been on a date before.
00:24:56Relax. You're just, just be yourself. You're pretty awesome.
00:25:01Ethan, I can't just be myself. I go to the library every night. It's not...
00:25:07I don't know what to tell you. I can't go on the date for you.
00:25:11Okay, but just, like, tell me what to do. I mean, you've been on like a million dates.
00:25:16Please, Ethan. Come on. I'll do anything.
00:25:21Now, why does that sound familiar?
00:25:24So is that a yes?
00:25:27Fine. Fine. I, tomorrow night, I'll pick you up and we'll go on a fake date.
00:25:34A fake date?
00:25:47Too intentional.
00:25:52Too casual.
00:26:16See you.
00:26:27Wow. You clean up nice.
00:26:30Thanks. You... You look... I mean, you look like a completely different person.
00:26:38No offense. There's nothing wrong with the way you looked before. It's just...
00:26:42You look... I just mean you look...
00:26:45I took Ari's advice and got myself some new looks from Sheen's Top Trends page.
00:26:51You look gorgeous.
00:26:57For you.
00:26:59Oh, Ethan! This is sweet for a fake date.
00:27:03Fake or not, I have standards.
00:27:07No one's ever gotten me flowers before.
00:27:10Well, looks like Aiden won't have all your firsts.
00:27:16Um, by the way, if Aiden doesn't get you flowers, second red flag.
00:27:21Second? What was the first red flag?
00:27:23He's a bad kisser.
00:27:25Trust me, I saw the whole thing. He did not know what he was doing.
00:27:29Okay, enough about the kiss. I'm trying to forget about it, okay?
00:27:32Okay, clean slate. Got it.
00:27:35Shall we?
00:27:37Where are we going?
00:27:41Looks good.
00:27:42I can't believe I'm finally at the Starlight Lounge. I've always wanted to go here.
00:27:47Well, I was hoping you'd like it. You know, being a theater major.
00:27:51Best. Fake. Date. Ever.
00:27:55Cheers to that.
00:28:02I was thinking, what other red flags should I look out for?
00:28:07Okay, well, I told you he loves himself, right?
00:28:10If Aiden talks about Aiden the whole time, major red flag.
00:28:16Okay, but I'm just not that interesting.
00:28:20I'm just a poor old library girl.
00:28:23I bet you're a lot more than just that. Try me.
00:28:28Okay, well, I'm graduating first in my class. I am the lead in the spring play.
00:28:36I'm going to Europe this summer.
00:28:40I'm boring you, aren't I?
00:28:43No, not at all. I just learned that you're smart, you're talented, and you're adventurous.
00:28:51Which is a hot threesome. And I know my threesomes.
00:29:03I'm starting to think that people are wrong about you.
00:29:07Hmm?
00:29:09You're kind of a gentleman.
00:29:11Yeah? Well, don't go around spreading that. You need to protect my reputation.
00:29:17Okay. Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.
00:29:29Can I ask why, though?
00:29:31Why what?
00:29:32Why the whole never with the same girl twice thing?
00:29:37No, no. We are not here to talk about me, alright?
00:29:48Okay, Pearl. One really important rule for first dates.
00:29:53What is it?
00:29:55Do not, under any circumstances, order the spaghetti.
00:29:59You've got sauce on your face.
00:30:01Oh my god.
00:30:04It's okay. It's okay.
00:30:18Hey.
00:30:20You made it.
00:30:22This is my favorite place to hike. You're going to love this view.
00:30:26I already do.
00:30:32Let's go.
00:30:34It's so beautiful. I love being here.
00:30:39So, what do you think?
00:30:42This place is amazing.
00:30:44Yeah, it was totally worth the two miles uphill.
00:30:48You know, I can't believe I've never seen you around campus before.
00:30:52I guess I just kind of blend in.
00:30:55You? No way.
00:30:57You stand out, Pearl.
00:30:58You stand out, Pearl.
00:31:05Aiden, what the hell?
00:31:07Jessica, what are you doing here?
00:31:09I can't believe you'd move on so quickly. And with her?
00:31:14What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:31:21Let me help you, Pearl.
00:31:23I can help you, Pearl.
00:31:25Guys, it's not a big deal. It's just a sprain.
00:31:28I think I can manage.
00:31:30Absolutely not. You shouldn't even be on your feet.
00:31:33I can carry you to your room.
00:31:35I think you've helped enough. You caused this, you know.
00:31:39Why are you even here, dude? This has nothing to do with you.
00:31:42Wow, she has Ethan and Aiden fighting over her?
00:31:45She's so lucky.
00:31:50Back off, Aiden. I said I got it.
00:31:53Make me.
00:31:55Ethan!
00:31:59Stop! Enough!
00:32:01This is not helping anyone.
00:32:05Pearl's right. Let's get her back to her door.
00:32:20Is the sheriff on?
00:32:22Yeah, she's great. Thanks.
00:32:24Don't set her down that hard.
00:32:25I mean if you need anything.
00:32:29Hi, I'm Becky, your neighbor.
00:32:32So weird we haven't met before, right?
00:32:34But if you need anything at all, just let me know.
00:32:37Oh, I actually do think we met before.
00:32:40Where did you get that top? It's so cute.
00:32:42So cute.
00:32:52Let me get this for you.
00:32:55Good thing it's so short. It works.
00:33:02Oh, why is everyone staring?
00:33:04Probably because you look so pretty today.
00:33:06Yeah, right.
00:33:08No, they're probably just wondering how I got so lucky to have you carry my bags for me.
00:33:12You know, Pearl, I actually had a good time with you yesterday.
00:33:16Despite, well, everything.
00:33:18Well, everything.
00:33:22Hey, Pearl, maybe Styx have a library where it's safe.
00:33:26Don't want to hurt your other ankle walking to class.
00:33:29What are they talking about?
00:33:31I don't know.
00:33:40Whoa, that was you?
00:33:43Wait.
00:33:45I can explain.
00:33:46Oh, you're Pearl.
00:33:48That weird library girl?
00:33:50I can't believe I didn't recognize you.
00:33:52This is just...
00:33:54I can't.
00:33:56I gotta go.
00:33:58I'm sorry.
00:34:09Pearl, you okay?
00:34:11Do I look okay?
00:34:13Aiden wants nothing to do with me.
00:34:14Everyone's seen that video and everyone's laughing at me.
00:34:20I'm not laughing.
00:34:23You're the only one who would do something like this.
00:34:27I think we both know.
00:34:29Veronica, I know it was her.
00:34:32She told me she had that video of it.
00:34:34Why does she hate me?
00:34:36Look, forget about Veronica, alright?
00:34:38And forget about Aiden.
00:34:40He's not worth your time if he can't see how great you are.
00:34:42Okay, Aiden, it's not like it's that easy.
00:34:45I've liked him forever.
00:34:47I should have known he would never want to be with someone like me.
00:34:49I'm a joke.
00:34:51I'm just the weird library girl.
00:34:53No, we're not gonna let them win, Pearl.
00:34:55What do you mean?
00:34:57I have an idea.
00:34:59If Veronica wants to play dirty, we'll play dirty.
00:35:03What are you gonna do?
00:35:05I'm gonna ask her out.
00:35:07What?
00:35:10Just trust me.
00:35:12Trust me.
00:35:16I have to admit, your text was unexpected.
00:35:20You should know better than anyone.
00:35:22I'm full of surprises, Veronica.
00:35:24Especially lately.
00:35:26Being seen with a girl like Pearl Simmons?
00:35:29Very surprising.
00:35:31What do you have against her, anyway?
00:35:33She's just annoying.
00:35:35Like, she's always acting like she's better than everyone else because she's smart.
00:35:38And then, like, trying to get with a guy like Aiden?
00:35:40Please, she needed to be put in her place.
00:35:43So, it was you who posted the video?
00:35:47Of course it was me.
00:35:49I mean, she's so pathetic, it was almost too easy.
00:35:52Did you hear about Aiden's reaction?
00:35:54Priceless.
00:35:56She actually thought she had a chance with him.
00:35:58You really know how to play the game, don't you, Veronica?
00:36:02Like I said, I like being on top.
00:36:06But enough about Pearl.
00:36:08Let's talk about us.
00:36:10Okay.
00:36:15Actually, I gotta go.
00:36:19I just remembered I need to reorganize my sock drawer.
00:36:23Bye.
00:36:26What?
00:36:32Did you get that?
00:36:34Every word.
00:36:40Hey.
00:36:46I, uh, I think the video's working.
00:36:53Did you see this?
00:36:55Veronica Steele is totally exposed.
00:36:58She's done for.
00:37:00I never liked her, anyway.
00:37:02Mean Girl is so out.
00:37:05Of course it was me.
00:37:07I mean, she's so pathetic, it was almost too easy.
00:37:10No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:37:12This can't be happening!
00:37:18I'm pretty sure the hashtag Team Pearl, it's, it's gonna be everywhere.
00:37:22Thank you, Ethan.
00:37:24For using your platform to help me.
00:37:27It's nothing.
00:37:29No, it's not nothing.
00:37:31No one's ever done anything like this for me before.
00:37:35It, it means everything.
00:37:46Uh, Pearl, I...
00:37:49Now if I can just win Aiden back, everything will be perfect.
00:37:52Uh, yeah, yeah, right.
00:37:54Yeah, let's go.
00:37:56Make it happen.
00:37:58Okay.
00:38:04Do you really think this is gonna make Aiden jealous?
00:38:07Trust me.
00:38:08By the end of tonight, everyone's gonna be talking about us.
00:38:11Including Aiden.
00:38:13So, uh, let's make it look real.
00:38:18How, how do we do that?
00:38:20Neither of us have ever even been in a relationship before.
00:38:24It's easy enough. You know, just hold hands, gaze into each other's eyes, that sort of thing.
00:38:29I can do that.
00:38:31So, is this our soft launch or something?
00:38:33There's nothing soft about me, baby.
00:38:37I'm going in hard.
00:38:53Yo, dude, isn't that Pearl with Ethan?
00:38:56No way, I didn't even know they were a thing.
00:38:58I thought you guys were literally just Aiden.
00:39:00I thought you guys were literally just Aiden.
00:39:13You two look so cute together.
00:39:15Yeah, it's giving total ick.
00:39:17Are the rumors about Ethan's you-know-what true?
00:39:20This is insane.
00:39:22I feel like a celebrity now.
00:39:24I told you it'd work.
00:39:26Yeah, if it's working, it's only because of you.
00:39:27Everyone knows your reputation.
00:39:29They probably think I put some spell on you or something.
00:39:33People can change, Pearl.
00:39:44Where's your head tonight, Aiden? You're playing like shit out there.
00:39:47Hi, coach. Sorry.
00:39:55No way.
00:39:58What do you think?
00:40:00I don't know.
00:40:03Do it.
00:40:09It's gotta look real, right?
00:40:12Right.
00:40:14Then I'm gonna kiss you.
00:40:17And like I told you, I'm going in hard.
00:40:21I'm ready.
00:40:27Okay.
00:40:37Tough break, man.
00:40:48That was incredible. Magical.
00:40:52Everything my first kiss should have been.
00:40:58Fuck.
00:41:17Hey.
00:41:19You wanted to talk?
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:23Pearl, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just walked out on you the other day.
00:41:27I am just a weird library girl.
00:41:30That's not true.
00:41:32I was just surprised that I didn't know how to handle it.
00:41:35But seeing you tonight with Ethan made me realize how dumb that was.
00:41:42You know it'd never work out with Ethan, right?
00:41:45They call him the heartbreaker for a reason.
00:41:48I don't know, Aiden.
00:41:50Okay, you really hurt me.
00:41:53I need to think about it, okay?
00:41:55Take all the time you need.
00:41:57I'm not going anywhere, Pearl.
00:42:06I don't know what to do, Ethan.
00:42:09Aiden apologized and, you know, he seems really sincere.
00:42:13What exactly did he say?
00:42:15That when he saw the video, he didn't realize who I was and he freaked out.
00:42:19But he said that he wants to try and work things out.
00:42:24Is that what you want?
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:27Whenever I think about losing my virginity to someone, I still think of him.
00:42:56This is literally you, Pearl.
00:43:00It's beautiful.
00:43:02It's one of a kind.
00:43:04Look, all I'm saying is you...
00:43:07You deserve the best.
00:43:09And you deserve a guy who's going to give you the best.
00:43:12Even if that's not me.
00:43:14And you deserve a guy who's going to give you the best.
00:43:17Even if that's not me.
00:43:19Even if that's not me.
00:43:42I'm so happy you agreed to this date.
00:43:45I'm glad we can give this a fresh start.
00:43:47I'll give you anything you want.
00:43:55Shall we toast to that?
00:43:56We shall.
00:44:02So, what are you doing tomorrow night?
00:44:05I'll probably go to the library. I have a big test on Monday, so I need to study for that.
00:44:11So, I was thinking, now that we're giving this another shot,
00:44:14now that we're giving this another shot,
00:44:16maybe you could ease up on the whole library stuff a bit.
00:44:19What do you mean?
00:44:21Well, you do spend a lot of time in there.
00:44:23Why feed into that dumb nickname?
00:44:25You want me to stop going to the library?
00:44:28Not stop, exactly. Just cut back a little.
00:44:32And these glasses are fine, but all eyes are on you now. On us.
00:44:37And the contacts look so much better.
00:44:40You understand what I'm saying, right?
00:44:44You're embarrassed of me.
00:44:46Of course not. It's just that...
00:44:49You don't want to be seen dating Pearl the library girl, right?
00:44:53Why are you being so difficult about this?
00:44:56You know what? It may have taken me a while to realize this.
00:45:04I don't need to change for anyone.
00:45:07This was a mistake, and I made the wrong choice.
00:45:15Pearl.
00:45:25Pearl.
00:45:27What happened?
00:45:30What happened? Talk to me.
00:45:32Me and Aiden, we went on our date today, and it was going really good.
00:45:37Then he told me how I needed to change.
00:45:40I think it's change.
00:45:42I should stop going to the library so much. I should change my look.
00:45:46He wants me to be someone I'm not.
00:45:49And what did you say to him?
00:45:52I told him that I can only be me.
00:45:56And it's not going to work out between us.
00:45:59Yeah. Yeah, good. Screw him, Pearl.
00:46:02You're smart, you're sweet and kind and perfect just the way you are.
00:46:07Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
00:46:10I'm just disappointed.
00:46:12I thought Aiden was different.
00:46:15Pearl, I, uh, I never thought he was right for you.
00:46:26Veronica posted a picture of me and Aiden tonight.
00:46:30She said I was a cheater.
00:46:32And that I went behind your back.
00:46:34She's gone too far this time.
00:46:36What are we going to do?
00:46:37I don't know, but we've got to think of something.
00:46:44There goes the cheater.
00:46:46Can't believe she fumbled both Ethan and Aiden.
00:46:49And she's supposed to be smart?
00:46:54I have a plan.
00:46:56What is it?
00:46:58I'm going to tell the truth.
00:47:00Everything's going to be okay.
00:47:02Truth, but the truth.
00:47:04Hey, everybody.
00:47:07I have something to set the record straight about.
00:47:10All these rumors about Pearl cheating on me.
00:47:14Yeah, it's total bullshit.
00:47:16Pearl never cheated on me.
00:47:18Because we were never actually dating.
00:47:22We were fake dating to make someone else jealous.
00:47:26But here's the truth.
00:47:28She's one of the most amazing people I've ever met.
00:47:30She's at the top of her class.
00:47:32She's smarter than anyone here.
00:47:34She's also kind.
00:47:36She's funny.
00:47:38She's sweet.
00:47:40She's drop dead gorgeous.
00:47:42She doesn't deserve any of the shit you guys are saying.
00:47:45Anyone would be lucky to have her.
00:47:48It's impossible not to fall for her.
00:47:52Because it happened to me.
00:47:56It happened to me.
00:48:04Pearl.
00:48:08I take you, Pearl.
00:48:10Exactly the way you are.
00:48:14Ethan.
00:48:16I mean it, Pearl.
00:48:18I've fallen for you.
00:48:20I know I don't have the best reputation or the best track record.
00:48:26I want a chance.
00:48:28Just one chance.
00:48:30Ethan.
00:48:33Yes.
00:48:35Yes.
00:48:37I've been trying to ignore the way I feel about you.
00:48:40Why?
00:48:42You see me for me.
00:48:44How can I ask for anything more than that?
00:49:05What about the whole, you know, never with the same girl twice thing?
00:49:10You of all people should know not to believe everything you hear.
00:49:14But I do know that one of those rumors is true.
00:49:17Oh yeah? Which rumor is that?
00:49:19The rumor that Ethan Hart has the biggest you know what on campus.
00:49:26This is so messed up.
00:49:29They've made fools of us.
00:49:31And I'm not going to let them get away with it.
00:49:35I cannot believe that just happened.
00:49:38Me neither.
00:49:40I didn't plan on spilling my guts today but when I saw you I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
00:49:46I had no idea that you felt that way about me.
00:49:49I have for a while. I just, I just couldn't tell you.
00:49:53I just couldn't tell you.
00:49:55Why not?
00:49:57You had a thing for Aiden and I, I don't know the first thing about being a, a boyfriend.
00:50:07So are we official now? Are you my boyfriend?
00:50:11I'd like to be if you'll have me.
00:50:19I would like that.
00:50:20I would like that.
00:50:22Because I like you. I do.
00:50:26And I just, I guess I thought a popular guy like you would never be into a girl like me.
00:50:32I'm very into you.
00:50:36I don't want to mess things up down the road.
00:50:41No, it's, it's not really about that right now.
00:50:45Because right now, today, it's pretty obvious.
00:50:50Okay.
00:51:11Look, it's Ethan and Pearl. I wish I could make him smile like that.
00:51:16As if he'd ever notice you. He never looks away from her.
00:51:21Make a wish.
00:51:24I wish to skip my next class because I am definitely about to fail this test.
00:51:31You? No way. You're like the smartest person I know.
00:51:35I was hoping you'd rub off on me, actually.
00:51:37Oh yeah? Is that why you're dating me?
00:51:40It's not the only reason. I mean, you got a sexy butt.
00:51:51Okay, I have to go. I'm going to miss the test.
00:51:54Okay, okay.
00:51:57I don't think I've ever seen you this happy before.
00:52:01I feel happy. I mean, it's been a week. I haven't messed things up. Yet.
00:52:06Well, there's always tomorrow.
00:52:09Yeah. Yeah, there's always tomorrow.
00:52:20Oh.
00:52:40Hey, Ethan. Where are you off to with that?
00:52:44None of your business, Veronica.
00:52:47Let me guess. Library girl?
00:52:50Yeah, my girlfriend. So, if you don't mind.
00:52:54Hey, what do you think you're doing with a girl like Pearl?
00:52:59Not this again.
00:53:01No, I'm being serious this time. Pearl's smart. Like, really smart.
00:53:07Her parents are lawyers. And they're loading.
00:53:12I'm talking house in the suburbs, house on the water, and you.
00:53:17Well, let's be honest. You're just a C student.
00:53:22A former trailer park kid with a baseball scholarship that's not exactly heading to the big leagues.
00:53:32That's a low blow for Attica. Even for you.
00:53:36I'm just calling it like I see it.
00:53:39You're not exactly her type, Ethan.
00:53:43No matter how hard you try.
00:53:51You're just good for a temporary distraction.
00:53:55You don't get to decide what Pearl deserves. Or me.
00:53:59Maybe not. But I do know that she deserves better than losing her virginity to the heartbreaker.
00:54:07Sooner or later she'll realize that you're not what she needs.
00:54:12And when that happens, you'll go right back to being the one night stand guy.
00:54:19Have a good night, Ethan.
00:54:35Hi, Ethan! You're here!
00:54:38And I come bearing gifts.
00:54:40Oh!
00:54:48Ethan! Ethan, this is... this is the prettiest dress I've ever seen!
00:54:56It's your size, so it'll fit perfectly.
00:54:59How did you get it so fast?
00:55:01Well, I knew you'd pass, so I ordered it earlier.
00:55:05You're so sweet. Come in, come in.
00:55:07Come in, come in. Oh, I see you brought champagne.
00:55:11Uh, yeah. Actually, Pearl, I... I can't stay.
00:55:21I can't stay.
00:55:24What? But you just got here.
00:55:27Yeah, um, I have this thing... this paperwork that I gotta do.
00:55:34Can your paperwork wait?
00:55:35Just a little bit. Come on, I really, really want to celebrate with you tonight.
00:55:41If you know what I mean.
00:55:43I do, too. But, yeah, I should really go.
00:55:49Can I, um, can I walk you to class tomorrow morning?
00:55:54Um, yeah. Okay, I'll see you then.
00:55:59I'll leave this with you.
00:56:05Good night.
00:56:09Good night.
00:56:20Hey, so I was thinking we could grab lunch after class. Does that sound good?
00:56:24Yeah, sure.
00:56:26Is everything okay? You seem a little bit off lately.
00:56:30It's nothing. Just a lot on my mind.
00:56:33Okay. Do you want to talk about it?
00:56:36Not really.
00:56:38Okay. Hey, I saved that bottle of champagne, so I was thinking maybe you'd want to come over to me.
00:56:46I'd love to. I just... I have a lot of studying I gotta do. But, um, another time, okay?
00:56:58Have a good class. Talk to you later.
00:57:04He sure was in a hurry to leave.
00:57:07Who can blame him? I'd be scared to get close to that sweater, too.
00:57:11Is it alive, Pearl? Does it just look that way?
00:57:34Oh, yikes. You really do need my help.
00:57:38Look, Ethan's being weird. He's avoiding me. He's giving me forehead kisses.
00:57:45And every time I invite him over, he says no.
00:57:49Oh my god.
00:57:53He doesn't want to have sex with me.
00:57:56Whoa, slow down. What did you just say?
00:57:59Ethan doesn't want me.
00:58:01Didn't he just declare his love for you on the quad?
00:58:05And he literally harassed me to find the perfect dress for you.
00:58:09We spent like four hours on Sheehan, and you know they have all the clothes in the world to choose from.
00:58:14Yes. Yes, but... I mean, he doesn't want to do anything physical. He doesn't... He doesn't even want to touch me.
00:58:25That doesn't really sound like Ethan.
00:58:27That doesn't really sound like Ethan. Maybe he just thinks you want to take things slow.
00:58:32No, he knows I want to lose my virginity. I don't understand what's happening. He doesn't even want to be alone with me.
00:58:41Well, I don't blame him. I mean, that sweater looks feral.
00:58:46I just... I just want to be irresistible for once.
00:58:51Okay, calm down. There is no way that Ethan doesn't want to sleep with you. I mean, he sleeps with everyone.
00:58:58Not helping, Aria.
00:59:00Okay, men are visual creatures. They like spontaneity.
00:59:05What are you suggesting?
00:59:09The oldest trick in the book.
00:59:15What is this for?
00:59:17To hide this.
00:59:19No. No, I know what you're suggesting and I'm not doing that.
00:59:24It's foolproof.
00:59:30I can't believe I'm doing this.
00:59:32It's foolproof.
00:59:34That tracks because I feel like a fool.
00:59:36Shut up. You look hot.
00:59:38I look like Carmen Sandiego.
00:59:41No, Ethan is going to love this. Go get your man.
00:59:45You can do this. Confidence is key.
00:59:49Introduce Ethan to your sexy side.
01:00:00Hey, Ethan.
01:00:02Pearl, what are you doing?
01:00:05Being spontaneous.
01:00:15Pearl.
01:00:27Pearl.
01:00:31I thought that you'd be up for spending some time together. Help me get rid of something.
01:00:40I think we should talk.
01:00:42About what? Don't you want me?
01:00:44I do want you. A lot.
01:00:49But I want to do things right. And I don't want to jump into sex.
01:00:54This relationship stuff, it's new to me. I want to be a good boyfriend. I want to do things the right way.
01:00:59I want to be what you need.
01:01:01You are what I need.
01:01:03Look, I know you're eager to lose your virginity. But I don't think we should rush things. Okay?
01:01:13How about we go on a date? Tomorrow night. Just the two of us.
01:01:18A date sounds nice.
01:01:20Great. I'll see you tomorrow night.
01:01:22Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
01:01:24Okay.
01:01:40Ethan, you look incredible.
01:01:44And I look...
01:01:46I should have worn that gorgeous dress.
01:01:49You look perfect.
01:01:51You ready?
01:01:55Let's go.
01:02:07I'm sorry.
01:02:09No, I'm sorry.
01:02:11Screw me. I can't even sit down right.
01:02:13Okay.
01:02:22I'll do the filet mignon and my date will have the salmon.
01:02:26I was actually kind of in a mood for pasta.
01:02:31Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
01:02:34It's fine.
01:02:41Are you okay tonight, Ethan?
01:02:43Yeah, why do you ask?
01:02:45I don't know. You just seem kind of stiff. That's all.
01:02:47Stiff?
01:02:49I didn't mean it in a bad way.
01:02:51Just formal.
01:02:53I mean, this is a date, right?
01:02:56Right.
01:02:58No, you're right. Just forget I even said anything.
01:03:08I'm sorry. I'm just...
01:03:11I'm really bad at this.
01:03:13No, you're not.
01:03:15Come in. We can talk about it.
01:03:18I don't... I don't think that's a good idea.
01:03:21Talk to you later, Pearl.
01:03:29Pearl! Hey!
01:03:31Can I talk to you for a minute?
01:03:33You don't have anything to talk about.
01:03:35I deserve that. But I truly do just want to apologize.
01:03:39For what? You have a long list of things to apologize for.
01:03:40I know. But the truth is, I've been jealous.
01:03:45I've had a thing for Ethan for a long time.
01:03:50But it's clear that you two have something special.
01:03:54Anyone can tell just looking at you two.
01:03:56Really?
01:03:58Definitely. And it's not just Ethan I've been jealous of.
01:04:01I've been jealous of you too.
01:04:03Jealous of me?
01:04:04I mean, I know you're graduating first in the class.
01:04:08And I'm graduating second.
01:04:11Unfortunately, my parents are never going to let me live that down.
01:04:15Wow. I'm sorry. I had no idea.
01:04:19Anyway, I want to make it up to you.
01:04:22I'm having a sleepover party tonight.
01:04:25Just girls. No drama.
01:04:27We can hang out, gossip, and have fun.
01:04:31I don't know. I don't really do those.
01:04:34Oh, it'll be a blast. I promise.
01:04:36You know what? Yeah. Okay. That sounds like fun.
01:04:40I'm not really doing anything tonight.
01:04:43Fantastic. Okay. My place? Around 7. See you there?
01:04:51Are you serious?
01:04:53Okay.
01:04:55Pearl! You made it! Come on in.
01:04:58Thanks for inviting me.
01:05:00I wish there were so many of you guys here.
01:05:02Lots of girls on this campus.
01:05:04But you'll love them. And I think you'll find you have a lot in common.
01:05:09It's so nice to meet you, Pearl.
01:05:11You and Ethan are so cute together.
01:05:14I wish I could have a boyfriend as sweet as him.
01:05:17That's so sweet.
01:05:19So Pearl, give us the deets.
01:05:22Are you and Ethan having sex yet?
01:05:25No. We actually haven't.
01:05:28Oh my gosh. How is it possible you haven't jumped his bones yet?
01:05:33Seriously? I'd be all over that.
01:05:35Well, we're kind of taking things slow.
01:05:39I'm a virgin.
01:05:41Really? That's interesting.
01:05:45Very interesting.
01:05:47Because I think we all know that Ethan doesn't like to take things slow.
01:05:55We all?
01:05:57Every girl in this room.
01:06:01Do you mean...
01:06:03Yes. We've all had sex with Ethan Hart.
01:06:08Well, except for you.
01:06:15Don't worry. We're not going to steal him or anything.
01:06:19Preach, girl. I mean, he's all charm, but no commitment.
01:06:22And don't get me started on his reputation.
01:06:25I mean, he's amazing in bed, but his reputation...
01:06:29He's not a one-woman kind of guy.
01:06:32Roxy and I would know. He had us at the same time.
01:06:37As you can see, Ethan would sleep with anyone.
01:06:42But for some reason, he won't touch you.
01:06:47I wonder why that is.
01:06:48The man loves sex, so there must be a reason.
01:06:51Maybe it's those glasses.
01:06:53Or the clothes.
01:06:55Don't be shallow, ladies.
01:06:57I mean, I'm sure none of that stuff helps.
01:07:00But I think it's because you're a virgin.
01:07:05It's obvious you don't have what it takes to satisfy a man like Ethan.
01:07:11I have to go.
01:07:19Hey.
01:07:24Hey, you've reached Ethan. Please leave a message.
01:07:27Damn it, Ethan. Where are you?
01:07:40Pearl, what happened?
01:07:42Everything.
01:07:45Nothing.
01:07:46Talk to me. What's going on?
01:07:48Just Veronica and her friends just saying horrible things about Ethan.
01:07:53That he's a heartbreaker and he sleeps around with everyone.
01:07:58Well, everyone except for me.
01:08:00I'm sorry, but I knew this would happen.
01:08:02What do you mean?
01:08:04I knew he would hurt you, Pearl.
01:08:06And I'm sure all that was hard to hear, but he's got a reputation for a reason.
01:08:09He's not a good guy.
01:08:11That's not true. He's good to me.
01:08:13Then where is he right now?
01:08:15He deserves someone so much better than a guy who plays games.
01:08:26What are you doing?
01:08:28I thought that...
01:08:30No, you thought wrong. I have a boyfriend, Aiden.
01:08:33Yeah, well, who doesn't give a shit? I care about you, Pearl.
01:08:36The only person you care about is yourself. That's why it will never work out between us.
01:08:41You're making a mistake.
01:08:43No, the only mistake I would make is to cheat on Ethan.
01:08:47And it's not one that I intend to make.
01:08:49Now go. Go.
01:09:01Go.
01:09:10That was quite the show you put on.
01:09:12I got the perfect picture of the kiss.
01:09:14There was no kiss.
01:09:16I don't care about the picture or any of this anymore. I'm done.
01:09:19I don't need you anymore anyway.
01:09:33What the fuck is wrong with you, huh?
01:09:35I told you to stay away from Pearl.
01:09:37Don't do this, Ethan. You don't know the truth.
01:09:38What I know is you're a liar. No wonder Jessica broke up with you.
01:09:42You knew me and Pearl were together and you still can't stay away.
01:09:45Are you really, though? Because I heard you're not together at all.
01:09:50What are you doing? Stop it!
01:09:59Guys, stop it! Stop it! Someone's gonna get hurt!
01:10:02Guys, please, stop!
01:10:04Call security!
01:10:06Alright, that's enough!
01:10:08Both of you, stop that!
01:10:10Show's over, everyone! Get back to class!
01:10:15Is she really the reason for all of this?
01:10:18Can't you just pick one of them? This is all your fault.
01:10:21Now it's causing problems for everyone.
01:10:23If Aiden is kicked off the team, there goes our season.
01:10:27I'm sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I was just...
01:10:29I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I was just...
01:10:43Ethan, are you okay?
01:10:45Ethan, I can explain.
01:10:48You don't have to explain anything.
01:10:50Just hear me out, okay?
01:10:52What happened with Aiden, it's not what it looked like. I would never, ever, ever cheat on you.
01:10:57It doesn't matter.
01:10:59It's better this way.
01:11:01What do you mean?
01:11:03I'm not boyfriend material. I'm good for one thing, and that's all I've ever been good at.
01:11:08And you deserve more than that.
01:11:10No, no, don't talk about yourself that way.
01:11:13It's the truth, Pearl. We were never gonna work out.
01:11:16Even if it wasn't this, something would have broken us up.
01:11:20You're breaking up with me?
01:11:30Ethan, if you're gonna end things without so much of a conversation, at least look at me and tell me that!
01:11:39I'm sorry.
01:11:55I knew I'd find you here.
01:11:57Where else would the library girl be?
01:12:00Yet another pity party for one.
01:12:02You and Ethan, both alone and feeling sorry for yourselves.
01:12:06I don't want to talk about Ethan.
01:12:08Then just listen, okay? Because I have something I want to say.
01:12:11Ethan had it rough growing up, and he thinks that he's less than because of it.
01:12:16In his eyes, he went to college and he finally got to be somebody.
01:12:20The heartbreaker. A guy who never sleeps with a girl twice, and...
01:12:24The guy who has the biggest unit wall on campus.
01:12:27Okay, I was trying to skip that.
01:12:30Anyway, he played into it, and he thinks that that's all that he's good for.
01:12:35And then he met you. And I think he's actually trying to be different.
01:12:40I was playing into it too. I mean, I was treating him like a piece of meat.
01:12:44No, it is nobody's fault.
01:12:46He broke up with you because he's convinced that he's not the guy that he thinks that you need.
01:12:52He is the guy I need.
01:12:54Okay, because I am tired of his sulking, and I think he has been wearing these same jeans all week.
01:13:02Okay. I need to do something special.
01:13:06Well, great time for a big gesture. His birthday is tomorrow.
01:13:11Perfect. Okay. Thank you, Arden.
01:13:24Uh, just a minute.
01:13:28Hey, Pearl. I hope I'm not interrupting.
01:13:32What do you want?
01:13:34I just wanted to apologize to you for what I did. I know I messed things up between you and Ethan, and I'm really sorry for that.
01:13:39Okay, well, you apologized, so you can go now.
01:13:42Look, there's something else you should know.
01:13:44Veronica, she's dangerous. What you've seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg.
01:13:48Okay, what are you talking about?
01:13:49I think she has something on Ethan. She never told me what it was, just referred to it as a last resort.
01:13:56Okay, I appreciate the warning, but I'm done with Veronica's games. I'm not letting her mess with my head any longer. I'm done.
01:14:06Be careful. She's not someone you want to cross.
01:14:13Ethan's a lucky guy.
01:14:16I'll see you, Pearl.
01:14:20Bye.
01:14:27Ethan! You need to come quickly!
01:14:30Pearl's hurt.
01:14:42Happy birthday.
01:14:44Pearl, what's going on? Are you hurt?
01:14:46I told her not to tell you I was hurt.
01:14:50So, this is a setup?
01:14:52No, no, this is not a setup. I just wanted to do something special for you, and I knew you wouldn't come on your own, so I just had...
01:15:00I can't do this right now.
01:15:02No, no, no, Ethan. Please, please just listen to me.
01:15:12Ethan, wait!
01:15:15Ethan, please! I shouldn't have pressured you about sets.
01:15:19I... You're so much more than that, and I hate myself for doing that to you. I don't blame you for breaking up with me.
01:15:27That's not why I broke up with you. I'm scared, Pearl. I'm scared of messing things up. Hell, I already have.
01:15:37I took the first chance to run away because I can't face the possibility of failing you.
01:15:43You can never fail me, Ethan.
01:15:46Look, do you remember what I told you about this necklace? It's beautiful and one of a kind.
01:15:53That's you, too.
01:15:55Look, we don't... It doesn't matter where we came from or what people think about us.
01:16:01Ever since I met you, I've been happy. I've really been happy.
01:16:06And I know we can make this work. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be you.
01:16:14I'm sorry for running away. I... I just don't know how to handle everything.
01:16:23It's okay. We can take things slow. We don't need to rush into anything. Okay?
01:16:29Okay.
01:16:43Let's make things official. Again. My frat's throwing a semi-formal tomorrow night. Let's go together.
01:16:51I'd love to.
01:16:53Was that Chinese I saw back there?
01:16:54It was. It's your favorite. It's your birthday. I had to get it.
01:16:59And I have another surprise. I got this for you in exchange for this dress.
01:17:08Best birthday ever. I mean...
01:17:18What the hell are you doing here?
01:17:21I heard that you and Pearl made up.
01:17:24How sweet. Too bad I have something to change your mind.
01:17:31Is that...
01:17:33A little video of our night together? Mmm. You were so passionate I had to get it all on camera.
01:17:40Delete it. Now.
01:17:42No. I don't think I will. In fact, if you don't break up with Pearl for good, then I'll release it to everyone.
01:17:51She wouldn't dare.
01:17:52It'd be easy enough to blur out my face. I mean, you're the star of the show anyway.
01:17:57Why are you doing this to me?
01:17:59Because I can. Because Pearl doesn't get to have everything.
01:18:04So either break up with her, or I'll show this video to the entire world.
01:18:12You're blackmailing me.
01:18:14And I'm going to win.
01:18:19I told you. I like being on top.
01:18:23I love you.
01:18:32Where is he?
01:18:34Wow. Pearl. That's quite the fit. Did you dress up for Ethan?
01:18:39Because I heard that he ditched you. Looks like you're the only one who didn't get the memo.
01:18:45No. No. Ethan would never do that.
01:18:48Oh really? Then where is he?
01:18:49I'm sure he's coming. He's probably just running late.
01:18:52Oh, sweetheart. We didn't say he wasn't coming. We said he ditched you.
01:18:57For another date.
01:18:59What are you talking about?
01:19:20Pearl, can we talk?
01:19:23Ethan, what's going on? Why are you with her?
01:19:28Pearl, I need to be honest. This isn't working out.
01:19:33No. No. We just talked last night. We're going to take things slow, and everything's going to be fine.
01:19:38I know. I know. But I'm not the right guy for you. You should be with someone like Aiden.
01:19:43I'm not good for you.
01:19:44He's just being realistic, Pearl. You see, he's not really the settle down type.
01:19:50Ethan, please don't do that.
01:19:53I'm sorry, Pearl. It's just better this way.
01:19:57Don't worry. I'll take care of him for you.
01:20:00I thought you cared about me. Are you going to cry?
01:20:04I heard the library's a great place for that.
01:20:14Finally, I get you alone. How about we have a little fun?
01:20:19What's the rush? Let's talk first.
01:20:22Talk? Who are you, and what have you done with Ethan Hart?
01:20:28What are you doing?
01:20:32Hey! Give it back!
01:20:34Not until this is done.
01:20:39That's just one copy of it.
01:20:40Then we're going to sit here until you tell me where every copy is, and then I'm going to destroy them.
01:20:45Or what?
01:20:47Or I'm going to turn you into the police for blackmail and possession of non-consensual pornography.
01:20:52You wouldn't dare.
01:20:54Try me.
01:21:04Did you delete it?
01:21:05Did you delete it?
01:21:07Every last copy. We even went back to her dorm room and I got it off her hard drive.
01:21:12But I don't think we have to worry about her anymore. She's spooked.
01:21:16I hope so.
01:21:18But she does follow through. One call to my parents, she'll be in court.
01:21:22That's what I told her.
01:21:31We make a good team, don't we?
01:21:33We do.
01:21:35Your acting chops are kind of impressive. It's kind of hot.
01:21:39Wait, wait. Me fake breaking up with you gets you hot?
01:21:43Just saying, you know, the secret with you is kind of hot.
01:21:45Well, let's hope we don't have to do that ever again, because that was enough drama to last us a lifetime.
01:21:50Tell me about it. I kind of miss my quiet nights in the library.
01:21:55Yeah, it's pretty nice. It's quiet.
01:21:59Private.
01:22:00Private.
01:22:07Reminds me of a fantasy.
01:22:11Let me guess.
01:22:20Nerdy Girl is all about the quiet studious life. Surprises you with her adventurous side.
01:22:26That's exactly it.
01:22:27Why don't we work on making that fantasy come true, Heartbreaker?
01:22:31There's nothing I'd love more.
01:22:34Part of a library girl.
