00:00It's not funny!
00:01Hey, ugly! Who let you in here?
00:08Please, please stop! It's not funny!
00:30Go for it, try to still keep this shallow, you don't want to make it too big or too small.
01:00Because when you look directly into the mirror, it will be higher than the highest point that you've created along your lash line.
01:06So this part here that I'm doing now needs to still stay as thin as possible.
01:11Because we're not taking it too high, we don't want to lose space on our lid.
01:15So remember, this needs to still stay as thin as possible.
01:23Hey, you ready to go? Don't want to be late for your first day.
01:25Hey, why aren't you wearing the dress that you picked out?
01:30Uh, I didn't feel like it.
01:33Come on, you were so excited by it, you loved it in the store.
01:36Oh, I changed my mind.
01:39How do you like the new makeup that I got you?
01:42It just doesn't look right, that's it.
01:44Come on, you begged me for that makeup.
01:47I couldn't do it, okay?
01:50I can't pull off the makeup, and I don't look good in sun dresses, and I just don't want to make today any worse.
01:56Okay.
01:59Just go.
02:20Whoa!
02:22What did my locker ever do to you?
02:30Whoa, what?
02:32I think the reason it won't open is because you have the wrong locker.
02:38Uh, no, wait.
02:40I think I have a, yeah, 102.
02:42You'll see.
02:43Oh, yeah, 102.
02:46But this is 101.
02:50I'm so sorry.
02:52I'm sorry, I have been.
02:55It's okay.
02:56No biggie.
02:57See?
02:58I mean, it looks like your locker is right next to mine.
03:00We're locker neighbors.
03:03Thanks.
03:13There we go.
03:17I'm so sorry.
03:18Wait.
03:19Oh.
03:20Are you auditioning for a drama club?
03:23I don't know.
03:24I was thinking about it.
03:25You should.
03:26That would be—
03:27Oh my gosh!
03:28Oh my gosh!
03:29Lycan!
03:30Where have you been?
03:31Just here.
03:32Talking with my new friend, Monica.
03:34Hi.
03:36We haven't talked all summer.
03:37We have to catch up.
03:38Walk me to class?
03:40Uh, yeah, sure.
03:42Just let me run to the restaurant real quick.
03:45So.
03:46What are you hiding?
03:48Excuse me?
03:49If you're wearing that outfit in this weather, you must be hiding something.
03:52Are you fat or just hideously ugly?
03:55Um.
03:56No, I'm not.
03:57Really?
03:58You should have been working on hiding, though.
03:59Is it hot?
04:00Please.
04:01Please stop.
04:02I hope you don't think someone as gross as you has a chance at Lycan.
04:05Because.
04:06You should think again.
04:10There you are!
04:11Come on.
04:13Let's head to class before—
04:14Okay.
04:15See you later, Monica.
04:18See you later.
04:22I'm Rachel, and a fun fact about me is I started modeling this summer.
04:28Monica?
04:29Wanna tell us a fun fact about you?
04:40Um.
04:41Um.
04:44I'm Monica.
04:51And.
04:55And a fun thing.
05:00A fun thing about me.
05:12Is.
05:13Is I'm.
05:16Is I'm sorry.
05:17I'm sorry.
05:23A fun fact about Monica is that even a sweater can't hide the fact that she's chicken.
05:42Wow, guys!
05:44It's like a leper colony over here.
05:47Hope no one catches it.
05:50Ah!
05:51Help me!
05:52It's a monster!
05:53Help!
06:12Hey, how was your first day?
06:17Not good, huh?
06:22It was—
06:23It was terrible.
06:26Everyone just made fun of me.
06:28And they said I was ugly.
06:30Everyone?
06:33Not everyone, but.
06:35Everyone.
06:37Everyone.
06:39Not everyone, but.
06:41Rachel did, but everyone laughed.
06:47I'm not like you, okay?
06:48You're just, you're smart, and you're pretty, and you're charismatic.
06:52I don't know, kid.
06:53From where I'm sitting, it looks like you're the charismatic, pretty, and smart one.
06:57You just had a rough day.
07:01What I just had was a case for homeschooling for the rest of my academic career.
07:06You know the only thing that you're missing?
07:09Your good genes?
07:11No.
07:12Confidence.
07:14Everything that you need is already in you.
07:16You just need to believe in yourself.
07:19Yeah, easier for you to say.
07:21Well, are you still going to the auditions later?
07:26Sure.
07:27I really think that you should.
07:29I just, I couldn't even stand up and talk in front of my class.
07:32How could I ever do drama?
07:34You just might need a little push.
07:37Just try it.
07:44Oh, hey.
07:45I'm so glad you came.
07:47Thanks.
07:49I am too.
07:51Do you want to sit next to me?
07:52Yeah.
07:53Lincoln!
07:54I'm so glad you're back this year.
07:55You're like the best actor.
07:58Monica.
08:00Monica.
08:02I'm so sorry about yesterday.
08:05What was wrong with me?
08:07You actually look worse with those warts covered.
08:10Do you have any plans for homecoming?
08:15You can just go.
08:21We'll find you a chair.
08:22You stay right here.
08:24Now, school just started.
08:26But auditions are coming fast.
08:28So, everyone that's planning to audition, raise your hands.
08:33Oh, nice.
08:37You?
08:39You honestly think that's a good idea?
08:41You can't even talk in front of the class.
08:43Rachel.
08:45Everyone is welcome in the drama club.
08:47I'm just trying to look out for her.
08:48You don't want someone hurling in front of the whole school.
08:51Rachel, that's not nice.
08:56Monica.
08:58Lizzie?
09:03Wait, what are you doing here?
09:05Is everything okay?
09:06My little sister needed me.
09:08Of course I'm going to drive home from college to make sure she's okay.
09:15I'm so glad to see you.
09:19My eyes!
09:20Those bright spots on your face, they burn!
09:24You know, it could be a lot worse.
09:25At least she doesn't have to put other people down to make herself feel better.
09:29Unlike you.
09:36You okay?
09:39Yeah.
09:40How was what?
09:41Your dinner party?
09:42Pretty boring, actually.
09:43Okay, hold still.
09:46So, how do you like being a chemistry major?
09:49Uh, it's really hard.
09:51But it's also really fun.
09:53I get to try out new ideas and make new things.
09:57Might even get to change the world one day.
09:59I love it.
10:01Okay, there.
10:03Now, everybody else can see your beauty, too.
10:07I wish I could change the world, too.
10:10Start by getting rid of Rachel.
10:13Okay, well, you can't get rid of people.
10:16But you'll definitely change the world one day.
10:19You just need a little bit of confidence.
10:22And this is a great place to start.
10:27Thanks.
10:29You look great.
10:33I still look like me.
10:35How do you look beautiful?
10:42I wish I could get some liquid look.
10:45Gosh, if only there was such a thing as a beauty potion.
10:48Gosh, if only there was such a thing as a beauty potion.
11:01Hey.
11:03Can I come in?
11:05Sure.
11:12I got you something for school tomorrow.
11:13Ugh, don't remind me I have to go back.
11:16Hey, maybe it won't be that bad.
11:18Why?
11:20Did I get transferred to Hogwarts or something?
11:22No.
11:24But I have something even better.
11:28They're special pills that give you confidence.
11:31Like me.
11:34What?
11:36That's not a thing.
11:38It is now, okay?
11:40I developed it in my chemistry program.
11:42Now, they're still experimental, but we've tested it on tons of patients, and it works.
11:50You trust me?
11:53Well, I do, but I...
11:56Okay, well then try it.
11:58The results should be instantaneous.
12:12I don't feel anything.
12:15But...
12:20Wait.
12:22I think I do feel different.
12:26I told you it would work.
12:30Are you sure these aren't beauty pills?
12:32Because I think I see a difference.
12:34No, no, no, no, no. Take a look.
12:37Okay, that is 100% true.
12:39Okay, that is 100% pure confidence.
12:45So?
12:47I think I get to say it now.
12:49No.
12:51No, I do, I earned it.
12:53I told you so.
12:55I know, I know.
12:57Sisters always know best.
13:00Fine.
13:02They do. Just this once.
13:10And then she was like, what?
13:13And I was like...
13:15Lock with me to class? We have to talk about this weekend.
13:20Hi.
13:22Lakin and I were actually still talking.
13:24Yeah.
13:27Yeah.
13:29See you later, Lakin.
13:39Bye.
13:41Bye.
14:09Bye.
14:40Please.
14:50Thing.
14:53Please answer, please.
14:57Hey, it's me.
14:59I'm sorry, I'm just really freaking out right now.
15:02I'm about to go on in like five minutes and I just can't find my pills anywhere.
15:05Five minutes to places.
15:07Yeah, thanks.
15:09Um, I'm sorry, can you just send me some more as soon as you get this?
15:25It's ready.
15:27We'll be back, dress houses and ready for no one.
15:30Let's go.
15:33Thanks.
15:37Thanks.
15:39Bye.
15:51So we go...
15:53...forth.
15:57And we...
15:59You knew this yesterday.
16:04Oh.
16:06Project.
16:08We can't hear you.
16:12And try our best to conquer.
16:17Oh, God.
16:20Um...
16:22Line, please.
16:24You know, let's...
16:26Let's take five.
16:32I'm so sorry.
16:33I'm so sorry.
16:35I'm so sorry.
16:39You.
16:41You stole my pill.
16:43What?
16:45Those are placebo.
16:47No, they're not.
16:49These are mine.
16:51We got like a 20 pack off Amazon.
16:53You can have one if it means that much to you.
16:55Okay.
17:02Hey.
17:07I got you some more pills.
17:10Yeah?
17:16You mean like these?
17:18Yeah, $4.99 on Amazon.
17:22Placebos, I checked.
17:23Monica, I...
17:24You lied to me?
17:26Yeah, I noticed.
17:28Look.
17:29I'm sorry that I lied to you.
17:32But let's just talk about that later, okay?
17:35You've got an opening night to get ready for.
17:37No, I'm not going.
17:39What?
17:40No, of course you are.
17:41No, I can't.
17:42Because everything I thought I had was fake.
17:44The pills were fake, but...
17:46...everything that you did was because of you.
17:50You wouldn't get it.
17:51There are two types of people in the world.
17:53You've got the beautiful and confident and capable people like you.
17:58And then the rest of us like me.
18:01Well, I beg to differ.
18:03Of course you do.
18:05You have no idea what it's like.
18:07I absolutely know what it's like.
18:10Hey, look at me.
18:12I used to be exactly like you.
18:16You see...
18:18I was super insecure.
18:20I hated school.
18:21I hated my classmates.
18:23And more importantly, I hated myself.
18:26Especially how I looked.
18:27Nice skirt.
18:28I got bullied all the time for all sorts of things I tried to fix.
18:34I thought if I could just be pretty enough or cool enough or smart enough, they'd all like me.
18:41It didn't work.
18:42If I changed myself, they just found new things to bully me for.
18:45Where'd you get your pants?
18:47Losers are us.
18:48When I got to high school, I decided I was done changing myself to try and be liked.
18:53There was only one thing I was going to change.
18:56My confidence.
18:59So, there are two types of people in the world.
19:02You're right.
19:04But it's not people who are beautiful and people who aren't.
19:09It's people who know that they're beautiful and people who don't.
19:13I just don't believe that.
19:14It used to be awkward.
19:15No?
19:16No, I don't.
19:17Well, luckily...
19:20I have proof.
19:26I can't believe it.
19:27And this was the only photo of me in the yearbook that year.
19:33That's a little pathetic.
19:34It's super pathetic.
19:36Okay, but that's what happens without confidence.
19:39And luckily, we already know that you can do it.
19:43No, we don't.
19:46Everything I thought I had was because of that pill.
19:49The pills didn't do anything.
19:52Wait, but I thought it did.
19:53Okay, but now you know that they didn't.
19:57And that everything that you accomplished was all because of you.
20:02So, get up on that stage and show the school what you're made of.
20:09Even if I wanted to...
20:13It's probably too late.
20:16The curtain's in like 20 minutes.
20:18Well, then I guess we shouldn't waste any more time.
20:21Come on, let's go.
20:25Wait.
20:27No, I can't go in looking like this.
20:30I just... I just look gross.
20:32I don't even have any makeup on.
20:34Well, then I guess you'll just have to go without it.
20:38And be confident.
20:40Now, what did we talk about?
20:42The curtain waits for no one.
20:44Where is Monica?
20:46Monica, anybody?
20:48I could take over for her if you'd like.
20:51I know the lead like the back of my hand.
20:53I'm here.
20:54I'm here.
20:57I'm sorry I'm late.
21:00But I'm here and I'm ready.
21:02You can't seriously be considering going on stage looking like that.
21:08Watch me.
21:11Get into places, everyone.
21:13It's showtime!
21:16Why aren't you in your costume?
21:19Go!
21:21It's showtime!
21:22Yes!
21:28You were awesome.
21:30So were you.
21:33They're probably clapping because it's finally over
21:35and they don't have to look at your pepperoni face anymore.
21:38You were absolutely captivating.
21:40I couldn't keep my eyes off of you.
21:42That was awesome.
21:43You were my favorite part.
21:45Oh my gosh, thank you so much.
21:51I guess they couldn't get enough of my pepperoni face.
21:54Just because a few randos liked your performance
21:57doesn't change the fact that you're ugly
21:59and you can't get a date to the homecoming dance.
22:01Let's go like in.
22:03Actually,
22:05I wanted to see if you'd be my date for homecoming.
22:10Yeah.
22:35Okay.
23:05Bye.
