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.
00:00:43Yeah, run back to the library, you ugly gremlin.
00:01:02You could make this day get any worse.
00:01:22Uh, hello?
00:01:28I can explain.
00:01:36Explain what?
00:01:42You're naked in my closet!
00:01:52I need your help.
00:01:53Ew!
00:01:54Not like that.
00:01:55I, look, this old crazy fling came looking for me, I was in the dorm shower with a freshman
00:02:00and- Ew!
00:02:01I needed a place to hide.
00:02:02The door was unlocked and 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.
00:02:33Maybe we can do the introductions later.
00:02:35This is an emergency 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.
00:02:43I will do anything.
00:02:51Anything?
00:02:54Anything, anything, just, just help me out here.
00:02:57No, I, I can't help you out.
00:03:00I, I know about your reputation and everyone calls you the heartbreaker.
00:03:03I 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.
00:03:13Veronica.
00:03:18Yes, Veronica, we hooked up once and she will not leave me alone.
00:03:23Please, just, I will do anything.
00:03:27Ethan, where are you?
00:03:29What, what's your name, what's your name?
00:03:31Uh, Pearl.
00:03:32Pearl?
00:03:35I will do anything.
00:03:41Fine, you owe me one though.
00:03:43Get in the closet and be quiet, okay?
00:03:49Oh, jeez.
00:03:52You, I heard voices in here.
00:03:55It was just me, I was practicing my lines.
00:03:59I'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.
00:04:13He's a big track and field star, has a lot of friends.
00:04:17He usually wears clothes.
00:04:19No, no, I have not seen him tonight.
00:04:22I'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.
00:04:46Boring.
00:04:47Dull.
00:04:48Forgettable.
00:04:49Hard to look at.
00:04:50Embarrassing.
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.
00:05:32I'm sorry about her.
00:05:34I'll get you a new pair of glasses.
00:05:36It's fine.
00:05:37It doesn't even matter if it's glasses or not.
00:05:40She's right.
00:05:43She's not.
00:05:45She's just a mean and bitter bully whose life is so boring she gets off on hurting others.
00:05:57I think the glasses are kind of hot.
00:06:01Anyway, thanks again.
00:06:05Wait, what about my favor?
00:06:09You said that if I helped you, you'd give me anything I wanted, and I know what I want.
00:06:15Oh my god.
00:06:16Shit.
00:06:17She wants me.
00:06:18Right.
00:06:19Um, listen, Pearl.
00:06:22I'm sorry.
00:06:23I'm sorry.
00:06:24I'm sorry.
00:06:25I'm sorry.
00:06:26Right.
00:06:27Um, listen, Pearl.
00:06:29You seem like a cool girl.
00:06:31I 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?
00:06:45Seriously?
00:06:46He's like the most generic jock ever.
00:06:49Exactly.
00:06:50I know.
00:06:51He's totally out of my league, but he's finally single for the first time in three years.
00:06:55I want my chance.
00:06:56I will not graduate college a virgin, and he's the only person I'd even consider sleeping
00:07:00with on this campus, so please just don't try and talk me out of it.
00:07:04I've decided.
00:07:07You're a virgin?
00:07:09Well, uh, I just said that out loud, didn't I?
00:07:14No, it's okay.
00:07:16Your not-so-dirty little secret is safe with me.
00:07:21And I'll help you get Aiden.
00:07:23In fact, there's a party tonight, and it just so happens I know where he'll be at.
00:07:29Really?
00:07:31I don't really do the party thing, though.
00:07:33I hate to break it to you, but if you want Aiden, you gotta hit the party scene.
00:07:39Maybe just not like this.
00:07:44Maybe your glass is broke, for a reason.
00:07:47For a reason.
00:07:54Trust me, Pearl.
00:07:55My cousin, she knows what she's doing.
00:07:58She's a fashion major.
00:08:08Told you.
00:08:18Ethan, this is new.
00:08:22Oh, we're not hooking up.
00:08:24We're here for fashion advice.
00:08:26Can you help?
00:08:28Oh, heck yeah!
00:08:29It's not too often I get to start from scratch.
00:08:32Actually, this might be worse than that.
00:08:35No offense.
00:08:37Untaken.
00:08:47It's a lot.
00:08:48I know.
00:08:49I'm prepping for the Sheen X pitch.
00:08:51Got lots of designs going.
00:08:55You work with Sheen?
00:08:56I want to.
00:08:57They have this creator incubator program.
00:09:00It gives young designers like me a chance to show our stuff to the world.
00:09:03It's actually pretty dope.
00:09:05Yeah, that's really dope.
00:09:07So, Pearl, what look are you going for?
00:09:10She's trying to catch the eye of the basketball captain.
00:09:14Then she needs to go from zero to jaw-dropping.
00:09:17Something that says, I'm not the library girl.
00:09:20Okay, this isn't just changing your outfits.
00:09:23This is creating your style.
00:09:25I don't know my style.
00:09:28Why do you think we shop with Sheen?
00:09:32They've got so many different options.
00:09:35One of them is going to have to work for you.
00:09:39Okay.
00:09:40Let's start with Sheen Frenchie.
00:09:43You like books, right?
00:09:44Yes.
00:09:45We can make you a European lady.
00:09:48A hot one.
00:10:31Holy smoke show!
00:10:33How do I look?
00:10:36Ethan?
00:10:39Sorry, I think my brain is short-circuiting.
00:10:42In a good way?
00:10:44In the best way.
00:10:48Pearl, you look fucking incredible.
00:10:54And Aiden, he's going to eat you up.
00:10:58Let's get to that party.
00:11:00All right, Pearl.
00:11:01Follow these three rules, and Aiden is yours.
00:11:05Okay, hit me.
00:11:07Number one, Aiden thinks he's hilarious,
00:11:10so just laugh at all his stupid jokes.
00:11:17Number two, Aiden loves himself.
00:11:20Just shower him with compliments.
00:11:22Compliments, check.
00:11:24And number three, Pearl is like obsessed with fitness.
00:11:28So just pretend you are too,
00:11:30and he will eat that up like protein.
00:11:33Okay, okay, okay, I got this.
00:11:36That's the spirit.
00:11:38And remember, confidence is key.
00:11:41Just go in there, act like you own the place,
00:11:44and he won't be able to resist you.
00:11:48Wait, wait, where are you going?
00:11:50You've got to do this without me.
00:11:52No, no, no, no, no, I am not walking in there alone.
00:11:55You can.
00:11:56I am not walking in there alone.
00:11:58You can, and you will.
00:12:02Pearl, you look beautiful,
00:12:05and there's no way he's not going to notice you.
00:12:18Okay, I've got this.
00:12:27Oh, my God.
00:12:32Cheers.
00:12:33Salud.
00:12:39Is that Pearl Simmons?
00:12:42No way. A library girl?
00:12:48Who's that?
00:12:50What do you think you're doing?
00:12:52Yeah, did you get lost on your way from the library?
00:12:54A book isn't a plus one.
00:12:56It's too bad about your broken glasses, Pearl.
00:12:58But don't worry, I can help show you the exit.
00:13:03Remember Ethan's advice, confidence is key.
00:13:06Glasses or not, Veronica, I can see right through you.
00:13:09Your insults are just about as transparent
00:13:11as your need for attention.
00:13:13I'm sorry, Pearl.
00:13:15Your insults are just about as transparent
00:13:17as your need for attention.
00:13:22Okay, I see that you're trying to have your, like,
00:13:25little moment or whatever,
00:13:27but why don't you just leave
00:13:29before 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.
00:13:41She's with me.
00:13:46Excuse me?
00:13:47You heard me.
00:13:48And from what I just heard,
00:13:50you all sound real jealous.
00:13:53Jealous? Of her?
00:13:56Please.
00:13:57Yeah.
00:13:58Yeah, because she's a showstopper.
00:14:00She's making you all look like little sideshow freaks.
00:14:03You're making a mistake, Ethan.
00:14:05The only mistake I've made in my life
00:14:07You're making a mistake, Ethan.
00:14:09The only mistake I've made
00:14:11was what happened between us last year.
00:14:14Now if you'll excuse us,
00:14:16we have better places to be.
00:14:21Don't touch me.
00:14:22Don't touch me.
00:14:25Thanks for that.
00:14:27No problem.
00:14:28That 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?
00:14:39What did I tell you?
00:14:40I bet you feel great.
00:14:41I feel amazing.
00:14:42It felt amazing.
00:14:46Uh, we should forget about Veronica.
00:14:48Because there's your target.
00:14:5012 o'clock.
00:14:52Okay.
00:14:54I'm going in.
00:14:55Wait.
00:14:56What?
00:14:57Oh my god, is there something in my teeth?
00:14:58No.
00:14:59I...
00:15:01Um...
00:15:03Nothing.
00:15:05Good luck.
00:15:12Confidence is key.
00:15:14Whoa!
00:15:16Are you okay?
00:15:17I'm fine.
00:15:18It's just these heels.
00:15:19I'm not used to them, I guess.
00:15:21Hi.
00:15:23Hi.
00:15:25Thank 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.
00:15:33Only on days that end with Y.
00:15:37I'm Aiden, by the way.
00:15:39I'm Pearl.
00:15:40Nice to meet you.
00:15:42Hey, are you busy right now?
00:15:44A few of us are going to get a game going.
00:15:45Uh, what kind of game?
00:15:49Pearl, come on.
00:15:50Okay.
00:15:52Come on, heartbreaker.
00:15:53What, are you too scared?
00:15:54Yes.
00:15:55I'm kidding.
00:15:58Okay.
00:15:59The rules are simple.
00:16:00If the bottle lands on you,
00:16:01you have the choice to kiss someone
00:16:03or take a dare.
00:16:07Wait.
00:16:08Who's going to spin first?
00:16:10Me.
00:16:12I like being on top.
00:16:21Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
00:16:22Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
00:16:24No, no, no.
00:16:27I choose dare.
00:16:28I choose dare.
00:16:30Bring 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.
00:16:58What will it be, library girl?
00:17:00Um...
00:17:02Dare.
00:17:04Dare?
00:17:07I dare you to kiss Aiden.
00:17:12That's not how it works, Veronica.
00:17:14She chose dare, not kiss.
00:17:16There's no rules against it.
00:17:18Unless that is...
00:17:20It's too much for you, Pearl.
00:17:22This is like your first party, isn't it?
00:17:29I'll do it.
00:17:32This is it.
00:17:33The moment I've waited my entire life for.
00:17:36My first kiss.
00:17:37And it's for the man of my dreams.
00:17:40This is going to be perfect.
00:17:59That was so hot.
00:18:02Yeah, um...
00:18:05Amazing.
00:18:08My turn.
00:18:29Veronica, kiss or dare?
00:18:31Dare.
00:18:32I dare you to tell us something really embarrassing.
00:18:35Oh, I'm so glad you asked.
00:18:37Because I actually saw something very embarrassing today.
00:18:41Some sad, gross little weirdo got hit in the face with a basketball.
00:18:48That's not how the game works, Veronica.
00:18:50You have to say something embarrassing about yourself.
00:18:52That's not what she said, Ethan.
00:18:54Dude, I saw that girl too.
00:18:56Some creeper with glasses.
00:18:58What was she doing hanging around the court anyways?
00:19:00Good question.
00:19:02Maybe Pearl knows.
00:19:03Oh.
00:19:24Whoa.
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.
00:20:19Both of them.
00:20:21Yeah, but it was all my fault.
00:20:24It was my first kiss.
00:20:25I didn't even know what I was doing.
00:20:26No, it's not your fault, Pearl.
00:20:29You 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.
00:21:08Veronica, watch it!
00:21:10Oops, didn't see you there.
00:21:12Sorry, it's not my fault. She's practically invisible.
00:21:23What?
00:21:24You know what? This outfit wasn't really my style anyways.
00:21:27What?
00:21:28What are you doing?
00:21:30Confidence is key.
00:21:32Right?
00:21:43Wow.
00:21:44Watch your neck.
00:21:53Hell yes, Pearl, I'm in.
00:21:56I'm in.
00:21:57Yeah!
00:21:58Skinny 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.
00:22:16Are you kidding?
00:22:18That was awesome.
00:22:19Yeah? Really?
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:21You're quite something, Pearl Simmons.
00:22:27Aiden, what are you doing?
00:22:32Ready?
00:22:36I thought it was supposed to be fun.
00:22:37I almost drowned.
00:22:39Well, you didn't.
00:22:41Oh my god.
00:22:42I can't believe I'm naked in a pool right now.
00:22:44Almost naked. And just relax. Go with it.
00:22:48Nobody's judging.
00:22:49I just feel kind of good to be wild.
00:22:53I feel like I'm finally doing college right.
00:22:57Well, I like wild women.
00:23:09Cheers to wild.
00:23:10Cheers to wild.
00:23:14Pearl, got a minute?
00:23:16Got a minute?
00:23:18Yeah. 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 my first kiss.
00:23:35Wait, what? That was your first kiss? Like, ever?
00:23:39No. I mean, no, it wasn't.
00:23:42No, 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.
00:24:02It's really important that it's with the right person.
00:24:07How about we go for another first?
00:24:09Yes.
00:24:12Pearl, can I take you out?
00:24:16Can 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. I'll call you tomorrow.
00:24:29Okay.
00:24:31Oh my God! Ethan just asked me out on a date!
00:24:36Of course he did.
00:24:39Thank you so much for hiding in my closet naked, Ethan.
00:24:43It's all... I don't know what else to do.
00:24:48Oh my God. I've never been on a date before.
00:24:53Relax. You're just... just be yourself.
00:24:56Relax. You're just... just be yourself.
00:25:00You're pretty awesome.
00:25:01Ethan, I can't just be myself. I go to the library every night. It's not...
00:25:08I 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.
00:25:17Please, Ethan. Come on. I'll do anything.
00:25:21Now, why does that sound familiar?
00:25:24So is that a yes?
00:25:28Fine. Fine. I... Tomorrow night, I'll pick you up, and we'll go on a fake date.
00:25:34A fake date?
00:25:50Too intentional.
00:25:53Too casual.
00:26:24Wow. You clean up nice.
00:26:27Thanks. Um... you... you look, um...
00:26:32I mean, you look like a completely different person.
00:26:35No offense. There's nothing wrong with the way you looked before.
00:26:38It's just... you look... I just mean you look...
00:26:43I took Ari's advice and got myself some new looks from Sheen's Top Trends page.
00:26:48You look gorgeous.
00:26:49For you.
00:26:51Oh, Ethan! This is sweet for a fake date.
00:26:55Fake or not, I have standards.
00:26:59No one's ever gotten me flowers before.
00:27:02Well, looks like Aiden won't have all your firsts.
00:27:09Um, by the way, if Aiden doesn't get your flowers, I'm going to have to cancel the date.
00:27:15Um, by the way, if Aiden doesn't get your flowers, second red flag.
00:27:21Second? What was the first red flag?
00:27:23He's a bad kisser. Trust me, I saw the whole thing. He did not know what he was doing.
00:27:28Okay, enough about the kiss. I'm trying to forget about it, okay?
00:27:32Clean slate. Got it. Shall we?
00:27:37Where are we going?
00:27:40Looks good.
00:27:41Looks good.
00:27:43I 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.
00:28:21Pearl, the 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. I'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.
00:28:57Shh.
00:29:03I'm starting to think that people are wrong about you.
00:29:09You're kind of a gentleman.
00:29:11Yeah? Well, don't go around spreading that. I need to protect my reputation.
00:29:17Okay. Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.
00:29:27Can I ask why, though?
00:29:29Why what?
00:29:30Why the whole never with the same girl twice thing?
00:29:35No, no. We are not here to talk about me, alright?
00:29:45Okay, Pearl. One really important rule for first dates.
00:29:50What is it?
00:29:51Do not, under any circumstances, order the spaghetti.
00:29:56You've got sauce on your face.
00:29:58Oh my god.
00:30:01It's okay. It's okay.
00:30:16Hey.
00:30:17Hey.
00:30:18You made it.
00:30:19I would've missed it.
00:30:20This is my favorite place to hike. You're gonna love this view.
00:30:24I already do.
00:30:32Let's go. It's so beautiful. I love being here.
00:30:38So, what do you think?
00:30:41This place is amazing.
00:30:43Yeah, it was totally worth the two miles uphill.
00:30:45You know, I can't believe I've never seen you around campus before.
00:30:49I guess I just kind of blend in.
00:30:51You? No way.
00:30:54You stand out, Pearl.
00:31:01Aiden, what the hell?
00:31:02Jessica, what are you doing here?
00:31:03I can't believe you'd move on so quickly.
00:31:05And with her?
00:31:10What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:31:12Let me help you, Pearl.
00:31:13I can help you, Pearl.
00:31:14Guys, it's not a big deal. It's just a sprain.
00:31:17I should be fine in a day or two. I think I can manage.
00:31:21Absolutely not. You shouldn't even be on your feet.
00:31:23I can carry you to your room.
00:31:24It's okay.
00:31:25I think you've helped enough.
00:31:28You caused this, you know.
00:31:29Why are you even here, dude?
00:31:30This is nothing to do with you.
00:31:31It's not your fault.
00:31:32It's not your fault.
00:31:33It's not your fault.
00:31:34It's not your fault.
00:31:35It's not your fault.
00:31:36It's not your fault.
00:31:37It's not your fault.
00:31:38It's not your fault.
00:31:39It's not your fault.
00:31:40Dude, this is 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.
00:31:52I said I got it.
00:31:53Make me.
00:31:55Ethan!
00:32:01Stop! Enough!
00:32:02This is not helping anyone.
00:32:07Pearl's right.
00:32:08Let's get her back to her door.
00:32:10Okay.
00:32:21You okay?
00:32:22Is the sheriff on?
00:32:23Yeah, she's great.
00:32:24Thanks.
00:32:25Don't set her down that hard.
00:32:26I mean, if you need anything.
00:32:31Hi, I'm Becky, your neighbor.
00:32:33So weird we haven't met before, right?
00:32:35But if you need anything at all, just let me know.
00:32:38Oh, I actually do think we met before.
00:32:40Where did you get that top?
00:32:41It's so cute.
00:32:42So cute.
00:32:54Let me get this for you.
00:32:57Good thing you're so short.
00:32:58It works.
00:33:03Oh, why is everyone staring?
00:33:05Probably because you look so pretty today.
00:33:07Yeah, right.
00:33:08No, they're probably just wondering how I got so lucky to have you carry my bags for me.
00:33:14You know, Pearl, I actually had a good time with you yesterday.
00:33:16Despite, well, everything.
00:33:22Hey, Pearl.
00:33:23Maybe Styx have a library where it's safe.
00:33:25Don't want to hurt your other ankle walking to class.
00:33:29What are they talking about?
00:33:30I don't know.
00:33:38Whoa.
00:33:39That was you?
00:33:41Wait.
00:33:42I can explain.
00:33:43Pearl, you're Pearl.
00:33:45That weird library girl?
00:33:48I can't believe I didn't recognize you.
00:33:50This is just...
00:33:52I can't.
00:33:54I gotta go.
00:33:55I'm sorry.
00:34:08Pearl, you okay?
00:34:11Do I look okay?
00:34:13Aiden wants nothing to do with me.
00:34:15Everyone's seen that video and everyone's laughing at me.
00:34:21I'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?
00:34:35Look, 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.
00:34:43Okay, Ethan, 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?
00:35:11Just trust 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?
00:35:32She's just annoying.
00:35:34Like, she's always acting like she's better than everyone else because she's smart.
00:35:37And 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.
00:36:14Actually, I gotta go.
00:36:18I just remembered I need to reorganize my sock drawer.
00:36:22Bye.
00:36:26What?
00:36:32Did you get that?
00:36:34Every word.
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.
00:37:02She's 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 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.
00:37:34It...
00:37:36It means everything.
00:37:46Pearl, I...
00:37:48Now if I can just renege and back, everything will be perfect.
00:37:52Yeah, yeah, right.
00:37:54Yeah, let's go.
00:37:56Make it happen.
00:37:57Okay.
00:38:01Do you really think this is gonna make Aiden jealous?
00:38:04Trust me.
00:38:06By the end of tonight, everyone's gonna be talking about us.
00:38:09Including Aiden.
00:38:12So, uh, let's make it look real.
00:38:16How do we do that?
00:38:18Neither of us have ever even been in a relationship before.
00:38:22It's easy enough.
00:38:24You know, just hold hands, gaze into each other's eyes, that sort of thing.
00:38:27I can do that.
00:38:28Yeah.
00:38:30So, is this our soft launch or something?
00:38:35There's nothing soft about me, baby.
00:38:38I'm going in hard.
00:38:53Yo.
00:38:54Dude, 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 dating.
00:39:11You two look so cute together.
00:39:13Yeah, it's giving total ick.
00:39:15Are the rumors about Ethan's you-know-what true?
00:39:18This is insane.
00:39:20I feel like a celebrity.
00:39:22I told you it'd work.
00:39:23I told you it'd work.
00:39:25Yeah, if it's working, it's only because of you.
00:39:28Everyone knows your reputation.
00:39:30They probably think I put some spell on you or something.
00:39:33People can change, Pearl.
00:39:44Where's your head tonight, Aiden?
00:39:46You're playing like shit out there.
00:39:48Hi, Coach.
00:39:50Sorry.
00:39:54No way.
00:39:59What do you think?
00:40:01I don't know.
00:40:03Do we?
00:40:10It's gotta look real, right?
00:40:13Right.
00:40:15Then, I'm gonna kiss you.
00:40:18And like I told you, I'm going in hard.
00:40:20I'm going in hard.
00:40:22I'm ready.
00:40:36Tough break, man?
00:40:47That was incredible.
00:40:50Magical.
00:40:52Everything my first kiss should have been.
00:41:17Hey.
00:41:19You wanted to talk?
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:23Pearl, I'm sorry.
00:41:25I shouldn't have just walked out on you the other day.
00:41:27I get it.
00:41:29I am just a weird library girl.
00:41:31That's not true.
00:41:33I 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.
00:41:52I 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.
00:42:08Aiden apologized and, you know, he seems really sincere.
00:42:12What exactly did he say?
00:42:14That when he saw the video, he didn't realize who I was.
00:42:16And he freaked out.
00:42:18But he said that he wants to try and work things out.
00:42:23Is that what you want?
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:27Whenever I think about losing my virginity to someone, I still think of him.
00:42:47Aiden.
00:43:02This is literally you, Pearl.
00:43:06It's beautiful.
00:43:08It's one of a kind.
00:43:10Look, all I'm saying is you...
00:43:12You deserve the best.
00:43:13You deserve the best.
00:43:15And you deserve a guy who's going to give you the best.
00:43:18Even if that's not me.
00:43:20I love you.
00:43:43I'm so happy you agreed to this date.
00:43:45I'm glad we can give this a fresh start.
00:43:48I'll give you anything you want.
00:43:51Thanks.
00:43:56Shall we toast to that?
00:43:58We shall.
00:44:04So, what are you doing tomorrow night?
00:44:06I'll probably go to the library.
00:44:08I have a big test on Monday, so I need to study for that.
00:44:12So, I was thinking, now that we're giving this another shot,
00:44:16maybe you could ease up on the whole library stuff a bit.
00:44:18What do you mean?
00:44:20Well, you do spend a lot of time in there.
00:44:22Why feed into that dumb nickname?
00:44:24You want me to stop going to the library?
00:44:27Not stop, exactly. Just cut back a little.
00:44:32And these glasses are fine, but all eyes are on you now.
00:44:35On us.
00:44:37And the contacts look so much better.
00:44:39You understand what I'm saying, right?
00:44:44You're embarrassed of me.
00:44:46Of course not.
00:44:48It's just that...
00:44:50You 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?
00:44:58It 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.
00:45:18Pearl.
00:45:26Pearl.
00:45:28What happened?
00:45:30What happened? Talk to me.
00:45:33Me and Aiden, we went on our date today, and it was going really good.
00:45:38Then he told me how I needed to change.
00:45:42I should stop going to the library so much.
00:45:45I 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...
00:45:54That 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.
00:46:10Just disappointed.
00:46:12I thought Aiden was different.
00:46:14Pearl, I...
00:46:17I never thought he was right for you.
00:46:25Veronica posted a picture of me and Aiden tonight.
00:46:29She said I was a cheater.
00:46:31And that I went behind your back.
00:46:34She's gone too far this time.
00:46:36What are we going to do?
00:46:38I don't know, but we've got to think of something.
00:46:40Okay.
00:46:45There goes the cheater.
00:46:47Can't believe she fumbled both Ethan and Aiden.
00:46:50And she's supposed to be smart?
00:46:55I have a plan.
00:46:57What is it?
00:46:59I'm going to tell the truth.
00:47:01Everything's going to be okay.
00:47:03The truth about the truth.
00:47:07Hey, everybody.
00:47:10I just want to set the record straight about all these rumors about Pearl cheating on me.
00:47:16Yeah, it's total bullshit.
00:47:18Pearl never cheated on me.
00:47:20Because we were never actually dating.
00:47:24We were fake dating to make someone else jealous.
00:47:28But here's the truth.
00:47:30She's one of the most amazing people I've ever met.
00:47:33She's at the top of her class.
00:47:35She's smarter than anyone here.
00:47:37She's also kind.
00:47:38She's funny.
00:47:40She's sweet.
00:47:42She's drop-dead gorgeous.
00:47:44She doesn't deserve any of the shit you guys are saying.
00:47:47Anyone would be lucky to have her.
00:47:50It's impossible not to fall for her.
00:47:54Because it happened to me.
00:48:05Pearl.
00:48:08I'd 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, but I want a chance.
00:48:28Just one chance.
00:48:30Ethan, I...
00:48:33Yes.
00:48:34Yes.
00:48:36I've been trying to ignore the way I feel about you, but why?
00:48:41You 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.
00:49:28This is so messed up.
00:49:30They've made fools of us.
00:49:33And I'm not going to let them get away with it.
00:49:36I cannot believe that just happened.
00:49:39Me neither.
00:49:41I didn't plan on spilling my guts today, but when I saw you, I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
00:49:47I had no idea that you felt that way about me.
00:49:50I have, for a while. I just... I just couldn't tell you.
00:49:55Why not?
00:49:56You had a thing for Aiden, and I... I don't know the first thing about being a... a boyfriend.
00:50:08So are we official now? Are you my boyfriend?
00:50:12I'd like to be, if you'll have me.
00:50:20I would like that.
00:50:23Because I like you.
00:50:24I do, and 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.
00:50:54I love you.
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.
00:51:20Make a wish.
00:51:22I wish to skip my next class because I am definitely about to fail this test.
00:51:29You? No way. You're like the smartest person I know. I was hoping you'd rub off on me, actually.
00:51:35Oh yeah? Is that why you're dating me?
00:51:38I mean, it's not the only reason. I mean, you got a sexy butt.
00:51:44You got a sexy butt.
00:51:52Okay, I have to go. I'm going to miss the test.
00:51:58I 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, there's always tomorrow.
00:52:13Okay.
00:52:40Hey Ethan.
00:52:41Ethan? 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.
00:53:06Her parents are lawyers. And they're loaded.
00:53:11I'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.
00:53:32It'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.
00:53:44No matter how hard you try.
00:53:52You're just good for a temporary distraction.
00:53:56You 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.
00:54:30Hi, Ethan. You're here.
00:54:34And I come bearing gifts.
00:54:45Ethan, this is the prettiest dress I've ever seen.
00:54:53It's your size, so it'll fit you.
00:54:57It's your size, so it'll fit perfectly.
00:55:00How did you get it so fast?
00:55:02Well, I knew you'd pass, so I ordered it earlier.
00:55:06You're so sweet. Come in, come in.
00:55:09Oh, I see you brought champagne.
00:55:11Uh, yeah. Actually, Pearl, I... I can't stay.
00:55:21I can't stay.
00:55:23What? But you just got here.
00:55:26Yeah, um, I have this thing, this paperwork that I gotta do.
00:55:33Can your paperwork wait?
00:55:36Just a little bit. Come on, I really, really want to celebrate with you tonight. If you know what I mean.
00:55:43I do, too. But, yeah, I should really go.
00:55:48Can I, um, can I walk you to class tomorrow morning?
00:55:53Um, yeah. Okay, I'll see you then.
00:55:58I'll leave this with you.
00:56:04Good night.
00:56:08Good night.
00:56:19Hey, 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.
00:56:34Okay. Do you want to talk about it?
00:56:37Not really.
00:56:39Okay. 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.
00:57:05He sure was in a hurry to leave.
00:57:08Who can blame him? I'd be scared to get close to that sweater, too.
00:57:12Is it alive for her? Does it just look that way?
00:57:16I don't know.
00:57:36Oh, yikes. You really do need my help.
00:57:39Look, Ethan's being weird. He's avoiding me. He is giving me forehead kisses.
00:57:46And every time I invite him over, he says no.
00:57:50Oh my god.
00:57:54He doesn't want to have sex with me.
00:57:57Whoa, slow down. What did you just say?
00:58:00Ethan doesn't want me.
00:58:03Didn't he just declare his love for you on the quad?
00:58:06And he literally harassed me to find the perfect dress for you.
00:58:10We spent like four hours on Shein, and you know they have all the clothes in the world to choose from.
00:58:15Yes, yes. But, I mean, he doesn't want to do anything physical. He doesn't even want to touch me.
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.
00:58:36I 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.
00:59:04What are you suggesting?
00:59:08The oldest trick in the book.
00:59:14What is this for?
00:59:16To hide this.
00:59:18No, no. I know what you're suggesting, and I'm not doing that.
00:59:23It's foolproof.
00:59:29I can't believe I'm doing this.
00:59:31It's foolproof.
00:59:32That tracks because I feel like a fool.
00:59:35Shut up. You look hot.
00:59:38I look like Carmen Sandiego.
00:59:41No, Ethan is going to love this.
00:59:44Go get your man.
00:59:46You can do this. Confidence is key.
00:59:49Introduce Ethan to your sexy side.
00:59:52Hey, Ethan.
00:59:54Pearl, what are you doing?
00:59:57Being spontaneous.
01:00:22Shh.
01:00:28Pearl.
01:00:31I thought that you'd be up for spending some time together. Help me get rid of something.
01:00:41I think we should talk.
01:00:43About what? Don't you want me?
01:00:45I do want you. A lot.
01:00:48But I want to do things right, and I don't want to jump into sex.
01:00:53This 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?
01:01:09How about we go on a date? Tomorrow night. Just the two of us.
01:01:15A date sounds nice.
01:01:17Great. I'll see you tomorrow night.
01:01:20Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
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?
01:02:06Oh, I'm sorry.
01:02:07Uh, no. I'm sorry.
01:02:10Screw me. I can't even sit down right.
01:02:21I'll do the filet mignon, and my date will have the salmon.
01:02:25I was actually kind of in a mood for pasta.
01:02:30Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
01:02:34It's fine.
01:02:38Are you okay tonight, Ethan?
01:02:41Yeah. Yeah. Why do you ask?
01:02:43I don't know. You just seem kind of stiff. That's all.
01:02:46Stiff?
01:02:48I didn't mean it in a bad way. Just formal.
01:02:52I mean, this is a date, right?
01:02:55Right. Um, no, 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. No, 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.
01:03:35But I truly do just want to apologize.
01:03:38For what? You have a long list of things to apologize for.
01:03:41I 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?
01:04:05I 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. You know, I had no idea.
01:04:19Anyway, um, 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.
01:04:30I 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.
01:05:00Oh, there's so many of you guys here.
01:05:03Lots of girls on this campus.
01:05:05But you'll love them. And I think you'll find you have a lot in common.
01:05:10It's so nice to meet you, Pearl.
01:05:12You and Ethan are so cute together.
01:05:14I wish I could have a boyfriend as sweet as him.
01:05:17Oh, that's so sweet.
01:05:20So Pearl, give us the deets.
01:05:22Are you and Ethan having sex yet?
01:05:25Um, no. We actually, uh, 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, uh, 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.
01:06:14Don't worry. We're not gonna 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.
01:06:33Roxy 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.
01:06:48I wonder why that is.
01:06:50The man loves sex, so there must be a reason.
01:06:53Maybe it's those glasses.
01:06:55Or the clothes.
01:06:57Don't be shallow, ladies. I mean, I'm sure none of that stuff helps.
01:07:02But I think it's because you're a virgin.
01:07:06It's obvious you don't have what it takes to satisfy a man like Ethan.
01:07:13I 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 that 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. And 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?
01:08:16He deserves someone so much better than a guy who plays games.
01:08:27What are you doing?
01:08:29I thought that—
01:08:31No, you thought wrong. I have a boyfriend, Aiden.
01:08:34Yeah, well, who doesn't give a shit? I care about you, Pearl.
01:08:37The only person you care about is yourself. That's why it will never work out between us.
01:08:43You're making a mistake.
01:08:45No, the only mistake I would make is to cheat on Ethan, and it's not one that I intend to make.
01:08:50Now go. Go.
01:09:02Go.
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, though.
01:09:39What I know is you're a liar.
01:09:40No 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! Someone's gonna get hurt!
01:10:02Guys, please, stop!
01:10:04Call security!
01:10:07Alright, that's enough!
01:10:08That's enough!
01:10:10Both of you, stop that!
01:10:12Show's over, everyone! Get back to class!
01:10:17Is she really the reason for all of this?
01:10:19Can't you just pick one of them? This is all your fault.
01:10:22Now it's causing problems for everyone.
01:10:25If Aiden is kicked off the team, there goes our season.
01:10:28I'm sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I was just...
01:10:31I...
01:10:38Aiden!
01:10:44Aiden, are you okay?
01:10:46Aiden, 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.
01:10:59Of course it matters.
01:11:01It's better this way.
01:11:03What do you mean?
01:11:05I'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 going to work out.
01:11:16Even if it wasn't this, something would have broken us up.
01:11:20You're breaking up with me?
01:11:31If you're going to 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...
01:12:25The guy who has the biggest you-know-what 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.
01:12:36And then he met you.
01:12:38And I think he's actually trying to be different.
01:12:41I 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.
01:12:54Then show him, okay? Because I am tired of his sulking, and I think he has been wearing these same jeans all week.
01:13:01Okay. I need to do something special.
01:13:05Well, great time for a big gesture. His birthday is tomorrow.
01:13:10Perfect. Okay. Thank you, Aria.
01:13:22Um, just a minute.
01:13:25Hey, Pearl. I hope I'm not interrupting.
01:13:28What do you want?
01:13:30I just wanted to apologize to you for what I did.
01:13:32I know I messed things up between you and Ethan, and I'm really sorry for that.
01:13:36Okay, well, you apologized, so you can go now.
01:13:39Look, there's something else you should know.
01:13:41Veronica, she's dangerous.
01:13:43What you've seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg.
01:13:45Okay, what are you talking about?
01:13:47I think she has something on Ethan.
01:13:49She never told me what it was, just referred to it as a...
01:13:51She 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.
01:14:02I'm not letting her mess with my head any longer. I'm done.
01:14:05Just be careful.
01:14:08She's not someone you want to cross.
01:14:13Ethan's a lucky guy.
01:14:15I'll see you, Pearl.
01:14:21Ethan! You need to come quickly!
01:14:24Pearl's hurt.
01:14:36Happy birthday.
01:14:38Pearl, what's going on? Are you hurt?
01:14:41I told her not to tell you I was hurt.
01:14:44So, this is a surprise?
01:14:47Yeah, it's a surprise.
01:14:49So, this is a set-up?
01:14:52No, no, this is not a set-up. I just wanted to do something special for you.
01:14:56And 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!
01:15:13Ethan, wait!
01:15:15Ethan, please! I shouldn't have pressured you about sets.
01:15:19I... You're so much more than that.
01:15:22And I hate myself for doing that to you.
01:15:25I don't blame you for breaking up with me.
01:15:27That's not why I broke up with you.
01:15:31I'm scared, Pearl.
01:15:34I'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
01:15:43of failing you.
01:15:45You can never fail me, Ethan.
01:15:48Look, do you remember what I told you about this necklace?
01:15:51It's beautiful and one-of-a-kind.
01:15:54Well, that's you too.
01:15:57Look, it doesn't matter where we came from or what people think about us.
01:16:02Ever since I met you, I've been happy.
01:16:05I've really been happy.
01:16:07And I know we can make this work. You don't have to be perfect.
01:16:11You just have to be you.
01:16:17I'm sorry for running away.
01:16:20I... I just don't know how to handle everything.
01:16:24It's okay. We can take things slow.
01:16:27We don't have to rush into anything.
01:16:29Okay?
01:16:42Let's make things official. Again.
01:16:46My frat's throwing a semi-formal tomorrow night.
01:16:49Let's go together.
01:16:51I'd love to.
01:16:53Was that Chinese I saw back there?
01:16:55It was.
01:16:57It's your favorite. It's your birthday. I had to get it.
01:17:00And I have another surprise.
01:17:02I got this for you in exchange for this gift.
01:17:05What?
01:17:07Best birthday ever. I mean...
01:17:09Best 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...
01:17:27Change your mind.
01:17:31Is that...
01:17:33A little video of our night together?
01:17:36You 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.
01:17:45In fact, if you don't break up with Pearl for good,
01:17:48then I'll release it to everyone.
01:17:51You wouldn't dare.
01:17:53It'd be easy enough to blur out my face.
01:17:55I mean, you're the star of the show anyway.
01:17:57Why are you doing this to me?
01:17:59Because I can.
01:18:01Because Pearl doesn't get to have everything.
01:18:03So either break up with her,
01:18:06or I'll show this video to the entire world.
01:18:11You're blackmailing me.
01:18:14And I'm going to win.
01:18:19I told you. I like being on top.
01:18:22Where is he?
01:18:24Wow. Pearl. That's quite the fit.
01:18:27Did you dress up for Ethan?
01:18:29Because I heard that he ditched you.
01:18:32Looks like you're the only one who didn't get the memo.
01:18:35No. No. Ethan would never do that.
01:18:38Oh, really?
01:18:40Then where is he?
01:18:42I'm sure he's coming. He's probably on his way.
01:18:44I'm sure he's coming.
01:18:46I'm sure he's coming.
01:18:48I'm sure he's coming.
01:18:49Then where is he?
01:18:51I'm sure he's coming. He's probably just running late.
01:18:53Oh, sweetheart. We didn't say he wasn't coming.
01:18:56We said he ditched you.
01:18:58For another date.
01:19:00What 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.
01:19:31This isn't working out.
01:19:33No. No. We just talked last night.
01:19:35We'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.
01:19:41You should be with someone like Aiden.
01:19:43I'm not good for you.
01:19:45He's just being realistic, Pearl.
01:19:46You see, he's not really the settled down type.
01:19:51Ethan, please don't do that.
01:19:53I'm sorry, Pearl.
01:19:55It's just better this way.
01:19:57Don't worry. I'll take care of him for you.
01:20:01I thought you cared about me.
01:20:03Are you going to cry?
01:20:05I heard the library's a great place for that.
01:20:07Finally, I get you alone.
01:20:10How about we have a little fun?
01:20:12What's the rush?
01:20:14Let's talk first.
01:20:16Talk? Who are you?
01:20:18And what have you done with Ethan Hart?
01:20:23What are you doing?
01:20:27Hey! Give it back!
01:20:29Not until this is done.
01:20:31I'm sorry.
01:20:33I'm sorry.
01:20:34Not until this is done.
01:20:40That's just one copy of it.
01:20:42Then we're going to sit here until you tell me where every copy is.
01:20:45And then I'm going to destroy them.
01:20:47Or what?
01:20:49Or I'm going to turn you into the police for blackmail and possession of non-consensual pornography.
01:20:53You wouldn't dare.
01:20:55Try me.
01:21:05Did you delete it?
01:21:07Every last copy.
01:21:09We 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.
01:21:15She's spooked.
01:21:17I hope so.
01:21:19But she does follow through.
01:21:21One call to my parents, she'll be in court.
01:21:23That's what I told her.
01:21:25Make a good team, don't we?
01:21:28We do.
01:21:30Your acting chops are kind of impressive.
01:21:33It's kind of hot.
01:21:35Wait, me fake breaking up with you gets you hot?
01:21:38Just saying, you know, the secret with you is kind of fun.
01:21:41Well, let's hope we don't have to do that ever again.
01:21:43Because that was enough drama to last us a lifetime.
01:21:46Tell me about it.
01:21:48Kind of miss my quiet nights in the library?
01:21:50Yeah.
01:21:51Yeah, it's pretty nice.
01:21:53It's quiet.
01:21:55Private.
01:22:03Reminds me of a fantasy.
01:22:06Let me guess.
01:22:16Nerdy girl.
01:22:18I'm not a nerdy girl.
01:22:20Nerdy girl is all about the quiet, studious life.
01:22:23Surprises you with her adventurous side.
01:22:25That'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.
