00:00:00Is that my seat?
00:00:05Look what it says.
00:00:23Morgan, we share a class, it's fate.
00:00:25I can't wait to take you on a date.
00:00:27Your secret admirer?
00:00:31P.S. I'm not some random weirdo I told Liam who I am.
00:00:36Mm-mm. I'm not going to tell you that to ruin all the fun.
00:00:40But, speaking of fun,
00:00:43happy birthday.
00:00:45Oh, pencil case.
00:00:48How pragmatic.
00:00:50Thanks.
00:00:521832.
00:01:00I...
00:01:01Forgot yours.
00:01:02What is new in Shermite?
00:01:10So you're seriously not going to tell me who my secret admirer is?
00:01:13I'll give you a hint.
00:01:15It is one of the three boys that you are always talking about.
00:01:23We share a class.
00:01:26We share a class with all three. That doesn't narrow it down.
00:01:29Well, then I guess you're actually going to have to talk to them.
00:01:34I can't do that.
00:01:36Why not?
00:01:37Because I'm too shy.
00:01:39You are never shy around me.
00:01:41It's different.
00:01:42I'm only shy around guys with romantic potential, okay?
00:01:54Jesus.
00:01:55Whoa.
00:01:56We've known each other since we were six years old.
00:01:58How are you this startled by my appearance?
00:02:00I wasn't. I'm not.
00:02:01Morgan, I am worried about you and the shy talk.
00:02:06How are you going to find a boyfriend if you can't even talk to a guy you like?
00:02:10Maybe I don't want one.
00:02:11Maybe I just enjoy daydreaming about it.
00:02:13Daydreaming about him?
00:02:30What does he always say about him?
00:02:32Oh my God, he is so cute.
00:02:34And he's artistic.
00:02:36And he's just so deep.
00:02:38I'm tired.
00:02:39Stop.
00:02:40Well, if you will talk to him.
00:02:44Life is about taking chances, right?
00:02:47Live a little.
00:02:49That's very inspiring. Thank you.
00:02:51Have you ever considered becoming a life coach?
00:02:54As a matter of fact, I have.
00:02:57Now, go.
00:03:00Get up.
00:03:03Antoine, do you want to get lunch together sometime maybe?
00:03:08Sorry, what?
00:03:11I asked if you wanted to grab lunch.
00:03:13Like, later. Today.
00:03:15I have to practice in my band over lunch period.
00:03:20The Dreadnaughts.
00:03:22Oh, right.
00:03:24No problem.
00:03:27You can come if you want.
00:03:29Really?
00:03:32I'd love to.
00:03:34Cool.
00:03:35See you there, noon.
00:03:58So, Morgan, right?
00:04:01What kind of music do you like?
00:04:03All kinds.
00:04:04But my friend Liam and I have been really into the Splinters lately.
00:04:07You listen to that pop trash?
00:04:10Well, it's not like it's my absolute favorite or anything.
00:04:16What about you? What do you listen to?
00:04:18I'm very particular when it comes to my sound, but lately I've been into lowercase.
00:04:24Oh, cool.
00:04:26Never heard of lowercase, but I'll check them out.
00:04:30It's not a band. It's a musical genre.
00:04:34It's all about ambient minimalism taken to the extreme.
00:04:39Oh.
00:04:40Okay, so let's start with Monster Zone.
00:04:43One, two, three.
00:04:53Cut. Stop, stop, stop.
00:04:55Jeff, you're out of tune.
00:04:57And Danny, you're at least three beats behind.
00:04:59All right, okay.
00:05:01Come on. Can you please get your crap together? Seriously.
00:05:03Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
00:05:04How many times have we practiced this?
00:05:06All right, let's do it again.
00:05:08Again, from the top.
00:05:19Danny, what are you doing?
00:05:22Man, this...
00:05:25It's like this.
00:05:27One, two, three. One, two, three.
00:05:30All right, all right.
00:05:41Hey, where are you going?
00:05:44We haven't even gotten to my best riffs yet.
00:05:46I've heard enough.
00:05:48Besides, I've got to get to class.
00:05:52Don't you want to listen to some good music for once?
00:05:56Good music?
00:05:58My taste may be basic,
00:05:59but I'd take the splinters over this noise any day.
00:06:07Again?
00:06:08Again.
00:06:19Oh, who's the rush?
00:06:27Oh, who's the rush?
00:06:42Sam, I'm sorry, I didn't see you.
00:06:46Can I have my phone back?
00:06:50Oh, sure.
00:06:52I mean, only if...
00:06:55Only if you want to get ice cream?
00:06:58Or something? After school?
00:07:01I mean, of course you can have your phone back. Here.
00:07:04No, I'd love to get ice cream with you,
00:07:06but why not right now?
00:07:09Oh, um...
00:07:12Because we have class?
00:07:15So?
00:07:17Skip.
00:07:20I've never skipped class before.
00:07:22This is the first time for everything.
00:07:28You know what? Why not?
00:07:30Nothing wrong with a little misbehavior now and then, right?
00:07:33That's my motto, too.
00:07:40After you.
00:07:47See? Skipping school can be fun.
00:07:51Almost as fun as those two red lights you ran through.
00:07:55Morgan, with a car like this, you trade comfort for speed.
00:08:00I miss comfort.
00:08:03Comfort?
00:08:05I thought you wanted to misbehave.
00:08:09I don't know why I said that.
00:08:12Sounds like you want to try something different.
00:08:15Something...
00:08:18dangerous.
00:08:27Come on. I'm bored.
00:08:29Let's go find some tracks to jump on.
00:08:31You can't just drop that there.
00:08:34What are you, some humanitarian?
00:08:36Well, I don't litter, if that's what you mean.
00:08:39Hold this.
00:08:49So the hot good girl decides she wants to be bad for a day.
00:08:53I like that.
00:09:06God, my girlfriend would be so pissed if she caught us like this.
00:09:10You have a girlfriend?
00:09:13Someone who wants to misbehave definitely knows how to do that.
00:09:17Misbehave as in skip class, live a little,
00:09:20kiss a guy with a girlfriend.
00:09:23Morgan. Morgan!
00:09:26So that's a no on the ride back?
00:09:33It's open.
00:09:42How'd it go with Antoine?
00:09:47Not that bad, huh?
00:09:49Horrible.
00:09:51Though not as bad as my date with Sam.
00:09:57Wait, did you skip class to go on a date with Sam Hitchens?
00:10:06Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?
00:10:10I wish I had just stuck to daydreaming about these guys.
00:10:14Real dating sucks.
00:10:21What can I do to make you feel better?
00:10:24I need a wipe today for my memory.
00:10:27Let's go to your treehouse and listen to The Splendors all night.
00:10:31By the way, The Splendors are pop trash.
00:10:34I've been informed.
00:10:37First of all, screw whoever said that.
00:10:41Second, before you give up on dating just yet,
00:10:46I think there's something you should see.
00:11:03Who are those from?
00:11:05Don't you want your big rom-com moment?
00:11:12Liam, I...
00:11:14So, there were three guys you had crushes on.
00:11:18And you told me you went on a date with two of them today.
00:11:22So, by process of elimination...
00:11:25Wait, you're telling me my secret admirer is Derek?
00:11:30Ding, ding, ding.
00:11:32Derek, captain of the football team?
00:11:34Derek, our class president?
00:11:36Derek, the guy every girl in school
00:11:38has been head over heels in love with since like sixth grade?
00:11:42Every girl might be an exaggeration.
00:11:44Sorry, every girl with eyeballs who's interested in guys.
00:11:48And he did all this for me?
00:11:50So, apparently he has great taste in women.
00:11:56Derek wants you to meet him
00:11:58at that fancy new French restaurant in town.
00:12:02Derek wants you to meet him
00:12:04at that fancy new French restaurant in town.
00:12:07That's what this note says.
00:12:12Look, you can either join me in our treehouse tonight
00:12:18and we can listen to our favorite band like we always do,
00:12:21or you can go on a date with the most popular guy in high school.
00:12:25It's up to you.
00:12:28It's up to you.
00:12:30Yeah.
00:12:32I guess you're right.
00:12:36Maybe third time's the charm.
00:12:41So, any tips on what I should wear tonight, life coach?
00:12:46Sorry, ladies' fashion is the limit of my expertise.
00:12:53Have fun.
00:12:57I'll let you know how it goes.
00:13:24I'm sorry I'm late.
00:13:25Happy birthday, Morgan.
00:13:29I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
00:13:32Thank you for the balloon and the flowers.
00:13:37No one's ever done anything this romantic for me.
00:13:40I thought you'd like it.
00:13:55You look beautiful tonight.
00:14:03Thanks.
00:14:05Look, could you take a picture of us?
00:14:07Yeah, no problem.
00:14:11One, two, three.
00:14:17What was that for?
00:14:18So I can Instagram the first date that I had
00:14:21with the girl that I plan to take to prom.
00:14:23But prom's still months away.
00:14:25How do you know you still want to date me then?
00:14:27When you know, you know.
00:14:30But we don't know each other.
00:14:32Not yet.
00:14:34But there's still plenty of time before the prom.
00:14:37Oh, right.
00:14:39Oh, wrong table, sorry.
00:14:41We haven't ordered yet.
00:14:42I actually ordered for us.
00:14:44It's the best things on the menu.
00:14:46I actually ordered for us.
00:14:48It's the best things on the menu.
00:14:54Okay.
00:14:59Is something wrong?
00:15:01It's just, I don't eat fish.
00:15:04Oh.
00:15:05I'm sorry.
00:15:06No, it's okay.
00:15:07I can send it back.
00:15:08Can we swap this for a steak?
00:15:11Actually, can we get some menus, please?
00:15:14I'd like to decide for myself.
00:15:16Oh, okay.
00:15:18No problem.
00:15:19I'll remember that for next time.
00:15:24It just might sound weird, but what do you like about me?
00:15:31Well, besides the fact that you look gorgeous on my arm in photos?
00:15:36Um, I mean, you seem really easygoing.
00:15:40You're always so calm and quiet.
00:15:43I'm not quiet.
00:15:45Maybe I'm a little shy at school.
00:15:48But around people who really know me, I can be really loud and opinionated.
00:15:53Look, don't you want to be here?
00:15:55I thought girls love all this attention and the romantic gestures.
00:16:00I thought so, too.
00:16:03Now I'm not so sure.
00:16:05I need to leave.
00:16:07Don't.
00:16:09Look, I'm going to look like such a loser if you don't stay.
00:16:13That's no reason to stay.
00:16:15We're wrong for each other, Derek.
00:16:17If you knew me at all, you'd get that.
00:16:25Well, damn.
00:16:47Hey.
00:17:05How'd it go?
00:17:07How'd it go?
00:17:11I left early.
00:17:14Why?
00:17:16I thought Derek was everything you ever wanted, Mr. Popular and Romantic.
00:17:22I thought so, too.
00:17:26But then I realized romance isn't about all that stuff you see in the movies.
00:17:35It's about knowing someone.
00:17:37Really knowing them.
00:17:40Really knowing them.
00:17:44It's about liking all the same music and laughing at all the same cheesy jokes.
00:17:57It's...
00:17:59It's how I feel about you.
00:18:03Look, I know you don't feel the same or you never would have helped Derek, but...
00:18:09I had to tell you.
00:18:19Morgan.
00:18:22The reason I helped Derek plan the secret admirer thing is because I wanted you to be happy.
00:18:30You're always talking about these guys you have crushes on.
00:18:34Creative, badass, talented guys.
00:18:38Guys who are nothing like me.
00:18:41Liam, you are the most creative, badass, talented guy that I know.
00:18:50You were right in front of me the whole time.
00:19:09I love you.
00:19:25You're gonna have to get a little less pragmatic with presents, though.
00:19:29What do you mean?
00:19:31A pencil case? Really?
00:19:35Did you look inside?
00:19:39Did you...
00:19:40Get us tickets to see The Splinters live next month?
00:19:44What?
00:19:45Yeah, I did.
00:20:09PHONE RINGS
00:20:19Hi!
00:20:21Why aren't you in class?
00:20:23Oh, I said I had to go to the bathroom.
00:20:25I'm just checking in on the patient.
00:20:29I'm fine. Just...
00:20:31Not feeling any better and wishing I was in school.
00:20:34You are the only person I know who'd rather be at school than home binge-watching Netflix.
00:20:39I like school.
00:20:41And you know I'm not going to binge-watch anything without you because then we can't talk about it.
00:20:45Good point.
00:20:47I like that we watch shows together.
00:20:49Me too.
00:20:51I don't think your dad loves it, though.
00:20:53He's just convinced we're making out the whole time.
00:20:56He's not entirely wrong.
00:20:58So...
00:21:00What did I miss in English?
00:21:02Did she give us any new chapters to read before next week's test?
00:21:05No, the reading hasn't changed and I took notes for you on everything, so...
00:21:10Knowing you, you probably won't need them.
00:21:12Anything good happen at lunch today?
00:21:14Besides Anika and Derek getting back together for the 10th time?
00:21:17They did?
00:21:19When? How?
00:21:20He made a big show of it in the quad.
00:21:22He even got the entire a cappella group to come serenade her.
00:21:25I'm missing everything.
00:21:27You've been gone for two days.
00:21:29Yeah, and that's enough time for me to fall behind on my schoolwork and my social life.
00:21:34Well, it'll be here when you get back, I promise.
00:21:37But in the meantime, I'm going to come over after school.
00:21:40I'm going to bring your homework and bring your favorite soup.
00:21:43And then we are going to binge-watch every episode of Outer Banks.
00:21:47And I promise I'll actually try to pay attention this time.
00:21:50Or we could just...
00:21:52Hang on a minute.
00:22:23You have no idea how much I would love that, but I can't.
00:22:27I really don't want to get you sick.
00:22:29What if I sit on the opposite side of the room?
00:22:31Let's just keep it on FaceTime for a couple more days, okay?
00:22:35That way I'll feel better sooner and I'll be back in school.
00:22:39I understand.
00:22:42I just wish you were here.
00:22:44Me too.
00:22:46I'm sorry.
00:22:49I just wish you were here.
00:22:51Me too.
00:22:54Well, I better get back to training.
00:22:56Don't forget to...
00:22:58I'll take very detailed notes.
00:23:01Thanks, Liam.
00:23:03Feel better.
00:23:18Okay.
00:23:43Not the call I was expecting today, but I'm not mad about it.
00:23:46What's up, Morgan? You miss me?
00:23:48Don't flatter yourself.
00:23:50I'm just calling to find out what I missed in history today.
00:23:53I was hoping you could tell me.
00:23:55What are you talking about?
00:23:57I've been out sick.
00:23:59I texted you and asked you to take notes for me.
00:24:01Morgan, if you're not in class, what makes you think I would be?
00:24:06Sam, we have a group project due next week.
00:24:09Yeah, and I'm sure you're doing a great job with that.
00:24:12I am not doing the project by myself.
00:24:15I need to help.
00:24:17You and I both know that me helping would only slow things down.
00:24:20The project would be a lot better if you do the work.
00:24:23That is completely unfair. It's your grade too.
00:24:26Yeah, and with you, I know my grade is in good hands.
00:24:38What?
00:24:40Sam Hitchens, you better help me with this stupid project
00:24:42or so help me, Beyonce, I will key that stupid car you love so much.
00:24:45Whoa, don't threaten, Rhonda.
00:24:48I'm completely serious.
00:24:50Alright, fine.
00:24:53Meet me at DQ and we can talk about the project or whatever.
00:24:56I can't meet you anywhere. I'm sick.
00:24:59You have to come to my house.
00:25:01And why would I come to your house if you're sick?
00:25:03Because your grade depends on it, and I really don't care if I give you a fever.
00:25:08You already do.
00:25:13You better be on your way over here.
00:25:16What?
00:25:19I... Liam, I thought you were...
00:25:22Coming over? I totally can.
00:25:25I just need... let me just get a few things for you, okay?
00:25:28No, I don't think that's a good idea.
00:25:31But I thought you just said...
00:25:33I know. I think the flu medicine is making me delirious.
00:25:36Okay. Well, I just got home from work.
00:25:40Uh, well, I just got home, so...
00:25:43If you change your mind, just...
00:25:45Send some smoke signals out the window.
00:25:50Hang on a minute, okay?
00:25:52Okay.
00:25:57Sam, I changed my mind. Don't come over here.
00:25:59You're joking.
00:26:01I just made myself available for this and you're cancelling?
00:26:04I just made myself available for this and you're cancelling?
00:26:07I know, but today isn't a good day. I'm sick.
00:26:10Yeah, you keep saying that.
00:26:12Right, so you wouldn't want to come over anyway.
00:26:15Nope. Sorry. Already on the way.
00:26:17Wait, Sam! Sam!
00:26:20Sam? What about Sam?
00:26:23He, uh...
00:26:26I need to talk to him about homework.
00:26:29Are we talking about the same Sam?
00:26:33Wait, what?
00:26:36Morgan, listen, we have...
00:26:38Oh, what up, Liam?
00:26:40Were you intrigued today? I could really use some notes.
00:26:43Uh, yeah, I was.
00:26:47Um, you need notes from today?
00:26:51Or, like, the whole semester?
00:26:54I'll take whatever, honestly.
00:26:56Sam, this really isn't a good time.
00:26:59Yeah, I thought about it and you're right.
00:27:02I can't be hanging out with a sick person,
00:27:04so it's probably better if I don't come over
00:27:06and you handle the project.
00:27:08You're coming over?
00:27:10Well, I was.
00:27:12Morgan doesn't care that it's completely irresponsible
00:27:14to invite somebody over when you're sick.
00:27:16That is not what happened!
00:27:18Uh, kind of is.
00:27:20Anyways, there's this new hottie working the counter at DQ
00:27:23and she's off in ten, so I gotta go.
00:27:25What? What about our group project?
00:27:27Just let me know where you need me to initial or whatever.
00:27:30That is not how group projects work!
00:27:32Gotta go, bye!
00:27:34Oh, and Liam.
00:27:36What's up, Sam?
00:27:38Maybe keep taking notes from me and Trey.
00:27:45So, you were gonna have him come over?
00:27:48Just to work on our project.
00:27:50You know how important that grade is to me.
00:27:52Yeah, and you know that he's a good guy.
00:27:55That's what that grade is to me.
00:27:57And you know that taking care of my girlfriend
00:27:59when she's sick is important to me.
00:28:05Why would you let him come over and not me?
00:28:07I thought you hated that guy.
00:28:09I don't hate him, I just...
00:28:12don't like him.
00:28:14Three weeks ago, you thought you might wanna date him
00:28:17and now you're inviting him over to your house.
00:28:22Look, it just feels like you don't wanna see me.
00:28:24I do.
00:28:26It's just...
00:28:30Honestly, I don't want you to see me.
00:28:34Not like this.
00:28:36Morgan, we've been through every awkward phase imaginable together.
00:28:42I don't care how you look.
00:28:44I know, but things are different now.
00:28:48I don't care if Sam sees me sick and gross,
00:28:50because it's Sam.
00:28:52But with you...
00:28:56I guess I'm just a little more self-conscious.
00:28:59Morgan, I still feel like I'm playing out of my league here.
00:29:03There's literally nothing you could do to ever change the way I feel about you.
00:29:09Okay.
00:29:12I'm sorry I even considered letting Sam come over and not you.
00:29:17I'm just overthinking it.
00:29:20And I really would feel terrible if I got you sick.
00:29:23I know, but...
00:29:25it's for me to decide whether it's worth the risk or not.
00:29:29And it definitely is.
00:29:33You know I'm still gonna make you watch Outer Banks, right?
00:29:35Yes. Totally. It's actually why I'm coming over in the first place.
00:29:41Or we can do homework. I have all your notes from class.
00:29:45That's better than flowers.
00:29:48It is so cute that you think so.
00:29:53Morgan...
00:29:56from where I'm sitting...
00:29:59you look beautiful.
00:30:05Okay, I'm gonna come over now.
00:30:17♪
00:30:33You are a sight for sore eyes.
00:30:36It can't be that sore. You're staring at the Italian coast every day.
00:30:39That's true.
00:30:41It's beautiful here, but not nearly as beautiful as you.
00:30:46I wanted to look nice for a date.
00:30:49Well, you always look nice.
00:30:53Happy three months.
00:30:55Happy three months.
00:31:00So, how was your morning?
00:31:02Boring. Nobody's in town.
00:31:05While you're off gallivanting in Italy, I think I've read every book the library has to offer.
00:31:11Well, summer's spent reading. That sounds like your dream.
00:31:14Yeah, well, even that is losing its luster.
00:31:18What about you? Are you fluent in Italian yet?
00:31:21Si. Ciao, bella. Come stai? Giulia Paolo.
00:31:26Not bad.
00:31:28I'm working on it.
00:31:30Still got another month to nail it.
00:31:33Another month I don't get to see you.
00:31:35I know. I miss you so much.
00:31:38I didn't think an entire summer apart would be this bad.
00:31:41I know. Me neither.
00:31:43I actually wanted to talk to you about that.
00:31:46I kind of wanted to talk to you about that too.
00:31:50You go first.
00:31:51What did you want to say?
00:31:55Morgan, can you just give me one second?
00:31:58Sure.
00:32:07Um, hi?
00:32:09Oh, hi. Sorry, I didn't know this was on.
00:32:14Liam just went to the other room for a minute.
00:32:16Liam just went to the other room for a minute.
00:32:20Oh, you're Morgan.
00:32:24That's me.
00:32:28Why didn't you tell me she was on right now?
00:32:31It's okay. She doesn't know anything yet.
00:32:33Well, you better tell her.
00:32:35Hey, sorry about that.
00:32:40Everything okay?
00:32:43Um, yeah.
00:32:46I think so.
00:32:48You?
00:32:49Yeah, there's nothing.
00:32:52Um, I wanted to talk to you about...
00:32:56Liam, I'm actually feeling kind of funny.
00:33:00Do you think we could pick this up later?
00:33:02Of course.
00:33:04Yeah, are you alright?
00:33:06I'm fine. I just need to lie down or something.
00:33:10I'll call you back later, okay?
00:33:13I'll call you back later, okay?
00:33:16Okay.
00:33:33Liam, are you okay?
00:33:39I'm fine. I just need to lie down or something.
00:33:49It's Amy. I'm not here right now.
00:33:51God, is everybody gone for the summer?
00:33:59What do you want, Sam?
00:34:01Hey, what up, girl? How's summer?
00:34:04Painfully boring.
00:34:05That's cool. Listen, I need some help.
00:34:08I need some help.
00:34:10The thing is, I'm stuck doing summer school.
00:34:14Turns out, skipping all of my classes wasn't the best idea,
00:34:17and my parents took away my car until I get my grades back up,
00:34:20which is honestly so uncool.
00:34:24Anyways, I was thinking about how you're pretty smart,
00:34:27and we did okay on that group project last year,
00:34:30so what if you help me out or tutor me or something?
00:34:34You're joking, right? You want me to tutor you?
00:34:37Yeah, why not? You love learning.
00:34:40Wait, those aren't the same thing.
00:34:42Oh, come on. You know what I mean.
00:34:48Fine. I'll help you.
00:34:50That's what I'm talking about. You're the best, Morgan.
00:34:53But I want something in return.
00:34:56Oh.
00:34:57Oh.
00:35:00Well, fine.
00:35:02Name your price.
00:35:07I need a girlfriend. I need a girlfriend.
00:35:10Well, well, well, Morgan, I had no idea.
00:35:13Most of the ladies that I'm acquainted with
00:35:16don't necessarily lean that way,
00:35:18but I think I know a few who might.
00:35:22No, that's not what I meant.
00:35:24I mean, I need a friend.
00:35:27A sounding board.
00:35:31I need you to give me advice.
00:35:34Advice?
00:35:36Yeah.
00:35:38Okay.
00:35:39Hit me. What's the problem?
00:35:41Okay.
00:35:42So, Liam is away for the summer with his family in Italy.
00:35:46Italian babes? Oh.
00:35:48Dope.
00:35:50And we were FaceTiming earlier, and there was some girl with him.
00:35:54I don't know who she was, and he didn't say anything about it,
00:35:57but, I mean, they seemed like they knew each other well.
00:35:59Like, they were pretty close.
00:36:01And I don't know. I guess I just have this, like, weird feeling about it.
00:36:04Damn. Liam, my man.
00:36:08I honestly didn't even think he had it in him,
00:36:10but you go to a foreign country, and all bets are off.
00:36:15So, you think I should be worried?
00:36:18Oh, absolutely.
00:36:21Morgan, a man doesn't go to Europe for the summer
00:36:24and not want to taste the local delicacies,
00:36:26if you know what I mean.
00:36:28Can you blame him?
00:36:31Well, what did you guys discuss before he left?
00:36:34Nothing.
00:36:35Nothing?
00:36:37You never said,
00:36:38Liam, you're going to a foreign country
00:36:40where you're going to be surrounded by beautiful and exotic women.
00:36:44Please don't cheat on me.
00:36:46I didn't think I had to.
00:36:48We're not mind readers, Morgan.
00:36:54Morgan, where do you go?
00:36:59So, should I come over to study?
00:37:02Or, even better, can you come to me?
00:37:06It's kind of hard getting around without a car.
00:37:08I'll talk to you later, Sam. I have to handle this.
00:37:10Wait, Morgan, you said you would help me.
00:37:17Hey, are you feeling better?
00:37:19Are you cheating on me?
00:37:21Are you cheating on me?
00:37:23What?
00:37:24Listen, I get it.
00:37:26We've been apart all summer, and you're in Italy,
00:37:28which is probably really beautiful and really romantic.
00:37:31And here I am, just bored and lonely.
00:37:34How can I compete with that?
00:37:36But, if you met someone else,
00:37:38just tell them that you love them,
00:37:40and that's all that matters.
00:37:42How can I compete with that?
00:37:44But, if you met someone else,
00:37:46just tell me, because I've spent my summer missing you.
00:37:49And if you're just off having a blast with some other girl,
00:37:51I have a right to know.
00:37:54Morgan, where is this coming from?
00:37:58I don't know.
00:38:01I saw that girl on her computer,
00:38:03and then I was talking to Sam, and...
00:38:05You talked to Sam?
00:38:07I don't really have anyone else to talk to.
00:38:10Everyone's gone for the summer, and it's lonely here.
00:38:14Well, just a thought, but you can always talk to me.
00:38:19Okay.
00:38:21Who was that girl?
00:38:24That was my cousin.
00:38:26She's in Italy with my family for the summer.
00:38:29Oh.
00:38:31Oh.
00:38:33But why was she...
00:38:35What did you want to talk to me about?
00:38:38I wanted it to be a surprise,
00:38:41but I talked to your parents,
00:38:43and they gave me permission to fly you out here for a week.
00:38:48They gave me permission to fly you out here for a week.
00:38:52Italy's just... It's so beautiful, and...
00:38:55And I...
00:38:57I want to share it with you.
00:38:59It's just not special without you here.
00:39:01Oh, my God. Liam.
00:39:04I'm sorry.
00:39:06I don't know what I was thinking.
00:39:08Well, I know what I'm thinking,
00:39:10which is that you need to stop taking advice from Sam Hitchens.
00:39:14Loneliness must be really getting to me.
00:39:17I just...
00:39:19I really miss you.
00:39:21And Sam got in my head, and...
00:39:24That's okay.
00:39:29But do you want to come to Italy?
00:39:31Well, it's funny you should ask.
00:39:36I begged my parents, and they actually got me a ticket to come see you.
00:39:40That is why it was so easy to get them to say yes.
00:39:44Um, when do you get here?
00:39:46I arrive next week.
00:39:48The world's apart, and we're still on the same page.
00:39:50Let's keep it that way.
00:39:52Deal.
00:39:56Um, Morgan.
00:39:59I, um...
00:40:02I miss you.
00:40:05I miss you, too.
00:40:31I miss you, too.
00:40:51Morgan?
00:40:52Hey, Antoine.
00:40:54Um, how's it going? How's your summer?
00:40:56Well, I went to Burning Man, which was pretty transformative.
00:41:00Is that, like, a seance or something?
00:41:02Burning Man is a movement.
00:41:05For some people, it's a lifestyle, but I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand that.
00:41:09Oh.
00:41:11I'm sorry. That was harsh.
00:41:14Let's start over.
00:41:17Hey, Morgan. How are you?
00:41:19My summer was good, thank you for asking.
00:41:21What's going on?
00:41:23I was actually kind of hoping you could help me with something.
00:41:27I'm trying to write a song for Liam's birthday, only I'm having a hard time with some of the chords.
00:41:32I was hoping you could give me a lesson.
00:41:34You want me to teach you guitar?
00:41:37Yes. It's just, you're really good, and...
00:41:40Last time I checked, you weren't a fan of my music.
00:41:42I was being unfair to you.
00:41:44I'm sure you have a lot of incredible songs.
00:41:46Thanks. I appreciate that.
00:41:49I do have a lot of really incredible songs, but that's the thing, Morgan.
00:41:54I'm an artist.
00:41:56I'm not a teacher. Teaching is something that artists do once they fail, and I have no intention of failing.
00:42:02So I can't help you. Try Guitar Center.
00:42:04Wait. I really can't afford Guitar Center.
00:42:08I can't even afford a birthday present for Liam, which is why I'm trying to write the song.
00:42:13There's something else you could help me with.
00:42:15Okay.
00:42:17You're on student council, right?
00:42:19I am.
00:42:21So then you know this girl, Devin?
00:42:24Devin, like our school vice president? Of course I do.
00:42:28I want to ask her out on a date, but I need an intro.
00:42:32If you can get her to talk to me, then I will help you with guitar lessons.
00:42:37Let me give her a call, and I'll call you back, okay?
00:42:39Okay. Yeah.
00:42:40Oh, and Morgan, if you want me to teach you any of that pop trash, I won't do it.
00:42:45If you're going to learn to play, you're going to learn to play the good stuff.
00:42:49Are you willing to teach me?
00:42:51Let me know what she says.
00:43:03Hey. What's up, Morgan?
00:43:05Hey. For the reading assignments in English, what chapters are we supposed to be doing?
00:43:10Chapters 1 through 7. I'm ready on Chapter 13.
00:43:14Gatsby is such a narcissist. I don't know why this is considered required reading.
00:43:18Totally. I'm not that far yet, but I've seen the movie.
00:43:22Only Leo can make that character remotely interesting.
00:43:26Anyway, is that it? I need to get back to warming up before class.
00:43:31I, uh, actually, uh, do you, uh...
00:43:35Do you know Antoine?
00:43:37The scrub with the long hair who's always making a mess in the music room?
00:43:41Uh, yeah.
00:43:43Well, he, uh...
00:43:46He kind of likes you.
00:43:53He likes me, like...
00:43:55Like he wants to take you on a date!
00:43:57Look, I'm sure he's a nice enough guy, but I'm not really interested in dating right now.
00:44:03Between extracurriculars and college prep, I don't really have the time.
00:44:08I don't really have the time.
00:44:10Besides, I doubt he and I have anything in common.
00:44:14That's not true! You have a lot in common!
00:44:17Oh, really?
00:44:18So he's also on the Ivy League track?
00:44:21Well, no, but he's an artist!
00:44:26So?
00:44:27You are, too. You dance.
00:44:30Dance is athletic. It's fitness.
00:44:33But it's creative. When you're dancing, how does it make you feel?
00:44:38It makes me feel...
00:44:41Free.
00:44:43Like all of the stress from SATs and GPAs and all of that stuff sort of just melts away.
00:44:50I can just lose myself in the music and be me.
00:44:54Exactly. That's art.
00:44:57You're passionate about dance, and he's passionate about music.
00:45:02All I'm saying is, give him a chance.
00:45:05First impressions aren't everything.
00:45:08Alright, fine. You can give him my number.
00:45:12Really?
00:45:13Yes, really.
00:45:15But you better side with me at the next student council meeting whenever Derek gets another one of his crazy ideas.
00:45:21I will. And you won't regret this.
00:45:24I'll see you later, Morgan.
00:45:26It's time to go embrace my art.
00:45:36So?
00:45:38She told me to give you her number.
00:45:40For real?
00:45:42Yes! Oh!
00:45:44This is incredible.
00:45:46Okay, I had a premonition in the desert that this year was going to be exceptional, but this is next level.
00:45:51I can't thank you enough.
00:45:54Happy I could help.
00:45:56Alright, grab your guitar. Ready to become a master?
00:45:59I am.
00:46:01Or just standard level would be okay.
00:46:04No way. If you're writing the song for his birthday, we're going to make sure it's the best present he's ever received.
00:46:09If you're writing the song for his birthday, we're going to make sure it's the best present he's ever received.
00:46:13Now let's do this thing, okay?
00:46:31Okay, I think you're ready. Feeling good?
00:46:44I do.
00:46:45You sure you don't want me to come over tomorrow and sing backup?
00:46:48I think if we added some harmonies, we could really take this thing to the next level.
00:46:52Thank you, but I think it'll be more special coming from me.
00:46:57Maybe we can do harmonies on another song sometime.
00:47:00Yeah, that could be cool.
00:47:02Who knows? If everything goes well, you might be writing a song for Devin.
00:47:07She agreed to get coffee with me. And she used three different excited emojis.
00:47:13That's really good! She wouldn't emoji if she wasn't interested.
00:47:17I hope so.
00:47:20Good luck with the song.
00:47:21Good luck with the girl.
00:47:30Where you been all day? I was about to send out a search party.
00:47:33Hey, your guitar's out. You been practicing?
00:47:36Well, I was actually working on something for you. It's a birthday surprise.
00:47:41Really? Can I hear it?
00:47:44It's not your birthday yet.
00:47:47It will be in 20 minutes. Come on, it's the perfect way to start things off.
00:47:51You wouldn't rather hear it in person?
00:47:53You can play it for me again tomorrow.
00:47:56Okay.
00:47:58It's new.
00:48:00I love new things.
00:48:01So it's not perfect.
00:48:03Perfection is overrated.
00:48:07The stars are shining brighter.
00:48:14A world filled with color.
00:48:21Every day is a new adventure.
00:48:27Ever since we found each other.
00:48:33Like a song on repeat.
00:48:36Like my favorite movie.
00:48:39Like we're stuck with blue.
00:48:42I'm hooked on you.
00:48:46Like a song on repeat.
00:48:49Like my favorite movie.
00:48:52Like we're stuck with blue.
00:48:56I'm hooked on you.
00:49:02It's the best birthday ever.
00:49:05And it hasn't even started yet.
00:49:11Stop distracting me.
00:49:13What? I'm not doing anything.
00:49:15Yes you are. You know you are.
00:49:20See? You're doing it again.
00:49:22What? When we're looking at you?
00:49:24This is why you can't come over when I'm trying to study.
00:49:27I would never get anything done.
00:49:29I can't help it. You're just too fun to distract.
00:49:32It's fine. I'm done.
00:49:34Let's do something fun this weekend. Something not school related.
00:49:37Well, we could go to the mall.
00:49:40The mall?
00:49:42Yeah. I have to find a homecoming dress.
00:49:44Not that you have to help me find it. I can call Devin or something.
00:49:48Yeah. When's homecoming again?
00:49:52The weekend after next.
00:49:55It's coming up fast, so I gotta find a dress sooner than later.
00:49:59Actually, I was sort of hoping we could just skip it.
00:50:03Skip homecoming?
00:50:05We get to dress up and take pictures and dance.
00:50:09Why wouldn't we go?
00:50:11I know. I just don't really care about that stuff.
00:50:15You know, we can dress up and dance any time we want.
00:50:18But school dances are kind of lame.
00:50:23Okay. If you don't want to go to homecoming, what would you want to do instead?
00:50:30Okay. Hear me out.
00:50:33They're doing an Evil Dead marathon at the drive-in that night.
00:50:38Screening all four movies and Sam Raimi is hosting it.
00:50:42The creator of Evil Dead.
00:50:45You want me to skip homecoming to watch a movie?
00:50:48Come on. It's not just any movie. It's the Evil Dead. We love those movies.
00:50:52And how often does a guy like Sam Raimi come into town? I mean, this is big stuff.
00:50:56I hear you, but this is going to be our first big dance together.
00:51:02I want to share that with you.
00:51:04I've never had a boyfriend to go to a dance with before.
00:51:07I know, but there will be other dances, right?
00:51:11And we always do what you want to do on the weekends. Why can't we just do this one thing for me?
00:51:15What is that supposed to mean?
00:51:18Nothing.
00:51:20Look, we study when you want to. We hang out with your friends when you want to.
00:51:24This is just something that I want to do.
00:51:26I didn't realize you were so unhappy with all the time we were spending together.
00:51:30I'm not. You're taking this wrong.
00:51:32Then explain it better.
00:51:34Sam is calling me.
00:51:38What? Can you ignore it?
00:51:40I'd rather talk to him than keep fighting with you.
00:51:43Please don't.
00:51:45Morgan! Thank God you answered. I knew you would.
00:51:50Oh, good. You brought backup.
00:51:53Hey, Sam.
00:51:55You guys are such good friends.
00:51:58What's going on?
00:52:00It's bad.
00:52:01Can you tell us about it?
00:52:02It's really bad.
00:52:04We can't help if we don't know what happened.
00:52:07It's just really hard to talk about.
00:52:10This kind of thing has never happened before in my whole life.
00:52:14I don't know what to do with all of these feelings.
00:52:17Just try.
00:52:19This is a safe space.
00:52:21Katie dumped me.
00:52:24She just dropped it on me out of nowhere.
00:52:27Like, goodbye. We're done. Have a nice life.
00:52:32How could you do that to me?
00:52:35We've been together since middle school.
00:52:37Have you?
00:52:39I wasn't even positive you guys were dating.
00:52:41Well, we've taken a lot of breaks or whatever,
00:52:44but the love has been there the whole time.
00:52:48We were going to grow old together.
00:52:51That really sucks.
00:52:53Nobody likes getting dumped, but you know, you're only 17.
00:52:56There are plenty of other fish in the sea.
00:52:59I don't want fish, Morgan. I want Katie.
00:53:03I think what she's trying to say is that it hurts now,
00:53:06but you'll find someone new and it won't feel so bad.
00:53:10You really think so?
00:53:12Yeah, man, I know so.
00:53:14Right now, it feels like my heart has been just torn into two.
00:53:20She was the love of my life.
00:53:23You're literally hitting on a different girl every other day.
00:53:25What did you expect?
00:53:27I have a flirty personality, Morgan.
00:53:30Katie actually understands that.
00:53:32Yeah, but no girl wants to feel like she's competing for your attention.
00:53:35No girl wants to feel like she's competing for your attention.
00:53:38But you also shouldn't have to change who you are in order to make a girl happy.
00:53:42It's not about changing who you are. It's about making her feel special.
00:53:45A girl wants to feel like a priority.
00:53:47Well, not every guy can live up to all that pressure and expectation.
00:53:50So I should be myself, but also be who she wants me to be.
00:53:55Since when is being romantic a lot of pressure?
00:53:57It's part of being in a relationship.
00:54:00So is doing what the other person wants to do sometimes.
00:54:03I think I'm lost.
00:54:06Are we still talking about me?
00:54:08Sam, when you have a girlfriend, you shouldn't be trying to pick up other girls plain and simple.
00:54:14If you want Katie back, you're going to have to stop flirting with everyone else.
00:54:18Oh, so now this is my fault?
00:54:21Sam, I think I know what you need to do.
00:54:23You do?
00:54:25Yeah, but Morgan, I'm going to have to pause you for a second.
00:54:29Sam and I need to talk about this guy to guy.
00:54:31Seriously?
00:54:33Trust me.
00:54:35Okay.
00:55:05What did you guys talk about?
00:55:14Just guy stuff.
00:55:16I gotta go find Katie. Liam, I cannot thank you enough.
00:55:20You ever need anything, I'm your guy.
00:55:23You got yourself a good one here, Morgan. Hang on to him.
00:55:27Thanks, I will.
00:55:36So, guy stuff. What did you guys talk about?
00:55:41I just told him that when you meet the right person, whether you're 12 or 17 or 30,
00:55:50you have to man up and make sure she knows how much you value her.
00:55:56Because the right person doesn't just come along every day.
00:56:01And when you love someone, you have to make sure that they know that.
00:56:08Oh.
00:56:10I love you, Morgan.
00:56:13Oh.
00:56:15And I don't want to go any longer without saying it because it's true.
00:56:19You are the most important thing to me. Not the drive-in, not Sam Raimi, not Sam Hitchens for that matter.
00:56:24Just you.
00:56:26So, if you want to go to our first dance as a couple together, I'd be honored to take you.
00:56:32That means a lot to me.
00:56:36Although, while you guys were on the phone, I did a little digging.
00:56:42We'd have to miss the first movie, but if we go to the dance first and cut out early, we're gonna make it for the last three.
00:56:50So, you mean the Evil Dead, Sam Raimi, and I get to see you all dressed up?
00:56:58As a date?
00:57:00Perfect.
00:57:02Too bad we had to get in a fight to figure that out.
00:57:05You know, we don't fight enough. Maybe we should do it more.
00:57:08No, thank you.
00:57:14Alright, I should let you go. I know you're normally in bed by now.
00:57:19Goodnight, Morgan.
00:57:21Hey, Liam?
00:57:22Yeah?
00:57:26I love you, too.
00:57:38What's up?
00:57:39Hey, whatcha doing?
00:57:41Baking cookies.
00:57:43Baking?
00:57:45What?
00:57:47You don't usually bake.
00:57:49It's for the bake sale.
00:57:51Oh, cool. I'm sure it'll be a big hit then.
00:57:54Shouldn't you be at soccer practice?
00:57:56Yeah, so, weird thing. Practice was canceled today and the rest of the week because apparently the football team needs the field.
00:58:04What? That's not fair.
00:58:06Yeah, I know. It sucks. The coach won't tell us much more and, I don't know, maybe we'll just have to practice in the park or something.
00:58:12You guys deserve your practice space. Let me call Devon and see what I can find out.
00:58:16That would be awesome. Thank you.
00:58:19I'll call you back.
00:58:20Okay, bye.
00:58:31Hey, girl. How's the baking going?
00:58:34Really great.
00:58:36Listen, do you know what's going on with the field? Liam said soccer practice was canceled because of football.
00:58:43Oh, you haven't heard?
00:58:45Heard what?
00:58:47Derek is getting the football team to double up on practices to get them ready for their big game coming up against the Trojans.
00:58:54So what? He's just canceling soccer practice? He doesn't own the field.
00:58:58I know. It's a total abuse of power.
00:59:01But when you are captain of the football team, class president, and teacher's pet, apparently you get whatever you want.
00:59:10But what is the soccer team supposed to do?
00:59:13Look, this isn't the first time that Derek has done something like this, and it won't be the last.
00:59:19It's male privilege, and he thinks he can get away with it.
00:59:23But we don't have to let him.
00:59:26What do you mean?
00:59:28I mean, I want to run for president this year and unseat him.
00:59:32You're VP. A VP has never run against a sitting president.
00:59:36Yeah, not yet, but I like making history, and I think it would be cool if you consider running with me.
00:59:45As secretary?
00:59:47No, as my VP. Two women in charge. Think about it.
00:59:52I just wouldn't want to do anything to lose my spot on student council altogether.
00:59:57You're thinking about this all wrong, Morgan. We won't lose.
01:00:02You know how persuasive you can be.
01:00:04You convinced me to go out with Antoine, and now for the cutest item in school.
01:00:09Besides you and Liam, of course.
01:00:12Just tell me, you'll think about it.
01:00:15I will.
01:00:17Right now, I need to talk to Derek.
01:00:20Good luck with that.
01:00:27Morgan, how's it going?
01:00:29Um, great. Just making cookies for the bake sale.
01:00:32Oh, I'm sure they're going to be amazing. You're such a good baker.
01:00:35Am I? I don't think you've ever seen me bake.
01:00:38Well, you're good at everything, so I guess I assumed.
01:00:43So listen, I was calling about the whole practice field situation.
01:00:47Oh yeah, have you heard how good the football team is this year?
01:00:50Haven't you guys lost every game?
01:00:52Well yeah, but that's why we're doubling down on our practices.
01:00:55So we can kill it next weekend when we play the Trojans and make the school proud.
01:00:59But Derek, with all your extra practices, you're taking time away from the soccer team.
01:01:04I'm not doing anything. Principal Lee approved it and the soccer team can practice anywhere.
01:01:08We need to be on that field.
01:01:11But so do they. Soccer and football have their practices worked out for a reason, so that it's fair to everyone.
01:01:17It's just, I was talking to Liam.
01:01:19Oh, Liam? You guys are still together then?
01:01:22Yes, we are. How are things with you and Anika?
01:01:25I ended things. For good this time.
01:01:29She just doesn't get me, you know?
01:01:32Yeah, sorry to hear that.
01:01:34I thought you called because you wanted to be friends, Morgan.
01:01:37After everything that happened last year, it's always been kind of awkward to be around you.
01:01:41It's disappointing to know that you're only calling so you can help out Liam.
01:01:45Derek, we are friends. I'm just trying to make sure everything's fair.
01:01:49That's what student council does. We represent the student body.
01:01:53Represent the student body, not pull special favors for our boyfriends.
01:01:57You're pulling special favors for yourself.
01:02:00That's different. If the football team wins, the whole school wins.
01:02:04These extra practices are in everyone's best interest.
01:02:07Unbelievable. Devin was right about you.
01:02:10Devin? What does Devin have anything to do with this?
01:02:13There's a hierarchy to student council and she answers to me.
01:02:16For now. But if people are unhappy with your leadership, don't get too comfortable at the top.
01:02:22That's absurd. Nobody unseats a sitting president.
01:02:27Besides, she wouldn't dare. I need this for my college applications.
01:02:31Everyone needs it for their college applications.
01:02:34You're not the only one who cares about this stuff.
01:02:36Morgan, do you know how hard it is for a South Asian male to get into Harvard?
01:02:41It's practically impossible.
01:02:44Did you know that Derek isn't even my real name? It's Delpinder.
01:02:48No one named Delpinder gets elected student body president.
01:02:52But I have to do whatever it takes to stand out from every other guy from a small town with immigrant parents.
01:02:58How many of those guys do you think are captain of their football team? Huh?
01:03:02Zero.
01:03:04It doesn't matter if our team sucks or that I don't even like football.
01:03:08It gives my application an edge.
01:03:11There's only so many spots at Harvard for someone like me and I plan to secure one.
01:03:15And I won't let anyone take that from me.
01:03:18That really sucks.
01:03:20Feeling like you have to change who you are in order for anyone to take you seriously.
01:03:25I just have no idea the pressure that I'm under from my parents, school.
01:03:29Everyone expects something from me.
01:03:31Everyone wants something from me.
01:03:33And you're the first person to ever reject me.
01:03:36I never even knew what that felt like because I was so used to pleasing everyone all the time.
01:03:41Oh, well, you're welcome, I guess.
01:03:44Even though you were the one person that I didn't want to disappoint.
01:03:48Look, I understand being under a lot of pressure.
01:03:51But if you don't want to disappoint everyone, let the soccer team have their practice time back.
01:03:56Being a captain isn't just about winning, it's about leadership.
01:04:00And the soccer team needs your support.
01:04:03You're right.
01:04:05I wasn't being fair to those guys.
01:04:07I'll call the principal and tell him that I want to switch the schedules back.
01:04:11It's the right thing to do.
01:04:13And I know everyone will appreciate it.
01:04:15Or, shall I say, they'll be there.
01:04:18Wow.
01:04:19No one ever calls me by my real name.
01:04:23I like hearing you say it.
01:04:25You should try it out sometime.
01:04:27It's cool to be unique.
01:04:29People might surprise you.
01:04:31Yeah.
01:04:32Maybe.
01:04:35I'll see you at school.
01:04:52How was Mr. President?
01:04:54I know he can be a bit much, but we should cut up some slack.
01:04:58He's got a lot on his plate.
01:05:00And he let the soccer team have their practice time back.
01:05:04He so got you.
01:05:06What do you mean?
01:05:08That Derek charm.
01:05:10It's how he gets what he wants.
01:05:12But I got what I want.
01:05:14The soccer team has their practice time back.
01:05:16Yeah, and he got what he wants, Morgan.
01:05:19You'd think he's a decent guy again.
01:05:21He's good.
01:05:22I'll give him that.
01:05:23Always a politician.
01:05:25But it's not like he did all of that on purpose.
01:05:28Maybe.
01:05:29Maybe not.
01:05:31But politics means getting people to see what you want them to believe.
01:05:36Whether it's the truth or not.
01:05:39I already made up my mind that I'm running this year.
01:05:42And I could use a smart, creative woman with interpersonal skills like you on my ticket.
01:05:49You don't have to say yes, but I really think you should.
01:05:54Okay.
01:05:55I'll think about it.
01:05:57Do that.
01:05:58Oh, and Morgan?
01:06:00Uh-huh?
01:06:01Maybe scrap those for the bake sale.
01:06:04They don't look too appetizing.
01:06:07Later, girl.
01:06:31Yo, I just heard soccer practice was back on.
01:06:33How'd you pull that off?
01:06:35I'm a smart, creative woman with interpersonal skills.
01:06:38I used my political prowess.
01:06:40Oh, I never thought of you as a politician before.
01:06:44Of course I am.
01:06:45I'm on student council.
01:06:47Yeah, but you know, secretary.
01:06:49I mean, I thought organization was more your speed.
01:06:53Whoa, did you make those?
01:06:54Those look amazing.
01:06:57Uh, yeah.
01:06:59Cool.
01:07:00I'm gonna have to come over after practice and try one of them.
01:07:02Sounds good.
01:07:03Have fun.
01:07:04All right.
01:07:05Bye.
01:07:10Politics means showing people what not to believe, whether it's the truth or not.
01:07:30We got classic wood stain, bold blue.
01:07:35Neon yellow.
01:07:36Yeah, I don't think that little thing's gonna stretch around the treehouse,
01:07:39but it would definitely get people's attention.
01:07:41I vote wood stain.
01:07:43It's a classic.
01:07:44But whatever we do, it's gonna have to wait.
01:07:48I'm jumping on a call with a new student in a few minutes.
01:07:51But it's a Saturday.
01:07:52Shouldn't you be doing that during school hours?
01:07:55Principal Lee specifically asked me to take Ashley under my wing and make her feel welcome.
01:08:00I've been texting Ashley all week, and she seems really cool.
01:08:03We have so much in common.
01:08:05I'm excited to meet her.
01:08:06That's cool, yeah.
01:08:07I'm glad you're getting along.
01:08:09What do you think?
01:08:11It's bright.
01:08:13Well, you have fun, and we will paint the treehouse when you're done.
01:08:16I've got my overalls ready.
01:08:18Perfect.
01:08:25Um, I was looking for Ashley.
01:08:28Is she, um, is she there?
01:08:31Aw, man.
01:08:32You know this always happens?
01:08:33What always happens?
01:08:35Well, people always get confused when your parents give you a girl's name.
01:08:39Oh, you're Ashley?
01:08:41Yep, the one and only.
01:08:43But you can call me Ash.
01:08:45Oh.
01:08:46Um.
01:08:48Hi, Ash.
01:08:50So, how did the nail color work out?
01:08:52Neon yellow is a bold choice.
01:08:54Um, it's bright.
01:08:57I love it.
01:08:58It's way better than that pink pearl.
01:09:00This makes a statement.
01:09:02Why do you know so much about nail polish?
01:09:05I have three older sisters.
01:09:06It comes with the territory.
01:09:09Hey, you didn't tell me you play the guitar.
01:09:11Oh, yeah.
01:09:13Well, kind of.
01:09:15I'm still learning.
01:09:16This guy, Antoine, has been giving me guitar lessons.
01:09:19He's the guy who's dating your friend, Devin, right?
01:09:21Right.
01:09:23Good memory.
01:09:25Well, when you're always moving around and starting new schools, you get really good at keeping track of names.
01:09:29Yeah, that must be hard.
01:09:31Never staying in the same place for too long.
01:09:34It can be.
01:09:35But luckily, my family's really tight.
01:09:37Plus, now I have friends all over the place, and that's pretty cool.
01:09:41Yeah, that is cool.
01:09:43Everyone I know grew up in the same town.
01:09:47So, do you have any siblings?
01:09:49I don't.
01:09:51I always wished I did, though.
01:09:52Although, I did grow up as friends with my next-door neighbor, so there's that, I guess.
01:09:57That's cool.
01:09:59You guys still tight?
01:10:01Mm-hmm.
01:10:04Well, now that I know you play the guitar, maybe we can jam sometime.
01:10:08I've been trying to teach myself to play the drums.
01:10:12How do you teach yourself to play the drums?
01:10:14Oh, it's easy.
01:10:15I've just been watching a bunch of YouTube videos.
01:10:17Drums are all about rhythm, and I've got plenty of that.
01:10:23Well, the dance team is going to love you.
01:10:27Oh, I don't know about that one.
01:10:29Dancers scare me.
01:10:32Why?
01:10:34Anybody with that much discipline is just waiting to boil over.
01:10:37Or they're incredibly free because movement is their outlet.
01:10:42You're a glass-half-full kind of girl, aren't you?
01:10:45I try to be.
01:10:48That's cool.
01:10:49Me too.
01:11:13So it's in the middle of the night.
01:11:15A car breaks down on the side of the road.
01:11:17My mom is in a panic.
01:11:18My dad's trying to solve everything, and my little brother has his headphones on.
01:11:21He can't even be bothered.
01:11:23But nobody has signal, so it feels like the end of the world, right?
01:11:27Of course.
01:11:29So I'm freaking out.
01:11:30I'm starting to think like we really might be in trouble here.
01:11:33And then this car pulls up behind us with no headlights on.
01:11:36Everyone starts to panic.
01:11:38So my dad tells my mom to get back into the car.
01:11:40Meanwhile, I'm ready to fight this guy.
01:11:43Then he walks out into the light and, uh.
01:11:46And?
01:11:47And it's my dad's new boss.
01:11:49It turns out we were a quarter mile from town if we had just looked through the trees.
01:11:54No.
01:11:56Yes.
01:11:57They sent out a big group to search for us because they threw this welcome party and we never showed up.
01:12:01Oh, my God.
01:12:03Was it a good party?
01:12:05Well, after thinking we were going to die on the side of the highway, yeah, it was great.
01:12:10No way.
01:12:11I bet you and your dad could have held off any highway killers.
01:12:14Oh, you know we would have.
01:12:22I didn't realize what time it was.
01:12:25We've been talking for over three hours.
01:12:28Have we?
01:12:29Didn't even notice.
01:12:31Do you have somewhere to be?
01:12:32No, I just, I was supposed to help Liam with his project and.
01:12:36Oh, who's Liam?
01:12:38My, uh, my neighbor.
01:12:40Oh, that's right.
01:12:41The best friend.
01:12:43Yeah, and also my boyfriend.
01:12:47Oh.
01:12:49Lucky guy.
01:12:51Uh, well, we wouldn't want to keep Liam waiting any longer.
01:12:55Um, I've already taken up too much of your Saturday.
01:12:59No, it was nice.
01:13:01You're so easy to talk to.
01:13:03You too.
01:13:06Hey, look.
01:13:07My family gets into town next week.
01:13:10I was hoping maybe you'd want to have coffee with me.
01:13:13Meet in person before my first day of school.
01:13:16That is, if it's okay with Liam, of course.
01:13:19Of course it would be.
01:13:22I'd love that.
01:13:23I can show you around downtown.
01:13:25I was hoping you'd say that.
01:13:27Just let me know when you get here.
01:13:30Okay, awesome.
01:13:31I can't wait.
01:13:32Once I start school, everyone's going to be wondering
01:13:34how I'm already friends with the prettiest girl on campus.
01:13:39See you soon, Ash.
01:13:41See you around.
01:13:52Ugh, what am I doing?
01:13:56Ugh, what am I doing?
01:14:02Hey, where have you been?
01:14:04I thought we were going to do the treehouse.
01:14:06I'm so sorry, Liam.
01:14:07I totally lost track of time and I wasn't looking at my phone.
01:14:11Can I come over now?
01:14:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
01:14:13How'd it go with Ashley?
01:14:14Is she your new BFF?
01:14:16Oh, um, funny story.
01:14:19Ashley is actually Ash.
01:14:22She's a he.
01:14:24Oh.
01:14:26That's cool.
01:14:28Yeah, um, he seems nice
01:14:30and you guys would totally get along great.
01:14:33Maybe you could introduce him to the soccer team.
01:14:35Yeah, yeah, we could always, uh,
01:14:38use another good player.
01:14:40Well, I'll be over in a minute, okay?
01:14:43Cool, I'll be in the backyard.
01:14:54Lily.
01:14:59Lily.
01:15:01Lily.
