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