Transcript
00:00I hoped I looked confident, because my insides felt like Jell-O as the most popular girls sat opposite me at recess, their wolf-like stares fixed on me.
00:09Okay, so have you ever been to the super-exclusive restaurant in Rome that only 1% of the world population knows about?
00:16Yes, yes, who hasn't? I mean, other than the 99%.
00:20The poached snail pasta with volcano ash is pretty good. But honestly, I've had better.
00:27So when did you watch the new movie Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse?
00:30October last year. Obviously, I wasn't gonna watch it with the general public, ew.
00:36Daddy got a private viewing arranged for me.
00:38And who's your daddy?
00:40We just got him back after he was kidnapped the fifth time for ransom, so I really can't share this information.
00:47You understand how it is, right?
00:48I totally get that, girl. Welcome to the gang, Sophia.
00:52Phew, my research on stupid rich people had paid off.
00:56Hi, I'm Sally from L.A., but for now, just call me Sophia.
00:59That sounds like a sophisticated rich girl name, right?
01:02Please, don't blow my cover.
01:03So, about that. I may look like a normal high school student, but the truth is, I'm actually a journalist.
01:09About a month ago, our paper received an anonymous tip that something shady was going on at the most elite private school in the country.
01:17Since I'd graduated only a couple of years before — not from this school, I'm not that rich — my editor sent me undercover to investigate.
01:24Now, I was in with the most popular kids in high school, and the first thing I noticed was that none of them seemed to study much and were partying every day.
01:32But they all had straight A's.
01:34The second thing I noticed was a boy named Matthew who didn't seem to fit in here, and he was constantly getting bullied by the popular jerks.
01:41I decided to find out why, so one day after school, I followed him.
01:45He'd walked several blocks down, when suddenly, a flashy red sports car screeched to a halt, and the popular boys jumped out and surrounded him.
01:54Their leader, Aaron, grabbed Matthew by his collar.
01:56You know you have to do what we say, Pinocchio. You're our little puppet. Why are you being so difficult?
02:02I don't have to do anything anymore. I'm gonna expose all of you, even if it means getting expelled myself.
02:07And who's gonna believe you?
02:09They'll believe me when I show them proof.
02:12Yeah, this isn't a bluff, Aaron.
02:14What did you do, you little weasel?
02:16Just then, a policeman came around the corner, and Aaron let Matthew go, but then snatched his backpack and threw it on the road.
02:23The boys all jumped into the car and sped away.
02:25As Matthew was picking up his things, I suddenly saw a bus approaching him at full speed, and he wasn't looking up.
02:31Without another thought, I raced toward him and pushed him out of the way.
02:35The bus driver pulled over to check on us, but Matthew wasn't moving.
02:39We called an ambulance, and I decided to wait at the hospital till his family arrived.
02:43And the doctor soon told me that Matthew had hit his head hard, and he was in a coma.
02:47Gosh, so much for trying to save him.
02:50Matthew, please wake up and tell me what's going on with you and those jerks.
02:54Can you hear me?
02:55Hello?
02:56I shook him gently, flashed my phone light in his eyes, tried tickling his toes, but nothing.
03:01Then I gave him a passionate kiss on the lips.
03:03Nothing.
03:04Guess that doesn't work in real life.
03:06Just then, I turned around to see a couple who looked like Matthew's parents.
03:10They were distressed at Matthew's condition, but then, to my surprise, his mom turned around and hugged me.
03:16We received the full report of the accident, and you were really brave to jump in and save his life.
03:22The doctor's hopeful that Matthew will wake up once the swelling in his brain goes down.
03:26Matthew never mentioned you, but we're so glad to find out he has such a caring girlfriend.
03:31Girlfriend?
03:32Well, of course they thought that with my passionate kissing.
03:35I was about to correct them, when suddenly, I had an idea.
03:38Oh, um, yeah. Matthew's a great boyfriend.
03:41Lovely man. I mean, boy. Man, boy.
03:44Such a weird age. Is he a man? Is he a boy? Who knows?
03:48He's a great guy.
03:50And before I knew it, I'd received an invitation to dinner at their place the next day.
03:54I walked away feeling conflicted.
03:56Yes, I was lying to these very nice people about being their comatose son's girlfriend, which was wrong.
04:02But Matthew knew something about the popular kids, and I had to find out what it was.
04:07The next day at school, I caught Erin and the other jerks laughing about the accident.
04:11Good thing the Matthew situation got taken care of itself.
04:15What are you guys talking about? Why do we care about this Matthew loser?
04:19Oh, Sophia. You're cute, but you're too new for us to let you in on our secrets.
04:24You have to earn our trust, you know.
04:26Okay, and how do I do that?
04:29I'm pretty sure Matthew was bluffing, but he claims he has some dirt on us.
04:33Maybe a video? You think you can find out if he has any such thing and get it for me?
04:37That should be easy. I can totally go to Matthew's place pretending to be his sad girlfriend, and I'll look through his things.
04:44If there's anything to find, I'll find it.
04:46I like your confidence, Sophia.
04:48Maybe you can come by my place one of these days and, uh, see a slideshow of my abs?
04:53Chicks dig that stuff.
04:54I gave him a forced smile as I tried not to barf.
04:57Later that evening, I arrived early at Matthew's place for dinner, and it was obvious that they weren't rich at all.
05:03His parents welcomed me in, and while they were still preparing dinner, I slipped upstairs.
05:08I walked through the first door to see tons of sports trophies displayed on the shelves and a guitar on the wall.
05:14Clearly, I wasn't in Matthew's room.
05:16Just then, I spotted a photo frame with a picture of him next to a hunk who looked a few years older.
05:22Mamma mia, who are you?
05:24That would be me, Matthew's brother Cody.
05:27I turned around in shock to see the hunk standing behind me.
05:31He'd just stepped out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel.
05:34Are you… staring at my abs?
05:37I'm guessing you're my brother's girlfriend who my parents invited for dinner?
05:41What? I wasn't staring.
05:42How dare you accuse me of something so disgusting?
05:45I… I'm just so traumatized by what's happened to Matthew.
05:49And he used to talk about you so much.
05:51And now seeing you in person without Matthew here…
05:55This is all just very hard for me.
05:57Uh, look, I'm sorry.
06:00I just threw the photo frame aside and ran out of there.
06:03Gosh, this was gonna be one awkward evening.
06:05Cody joined us soon and was being extra nice to me all through dinner.
06:09And his parents started asking me how Matthew and I'd met.
06:13Uh, it's actually a crazy story.
06:16So, you know that big park next to our school?
06:18I was feeding the ducks there one afternoon and when I ran out of bread,
06:22they suddenly became these vicious creatures that started jumping out of the lake to attack me.
06:27So I was running as fast as I could when suddenly I tripped.
06:31I saw my life flash before my eyes.
06:33And then out of nowhere, this boy jumps in and starts howling at the ducks like a wolf.
06:38The ducks ran away like scared chickens and my hero turned out to be Matthew.
06:43It's actually a true story, guys.
06:45I didn't just pull it out of my butt.
06:47That's how I met my first boyfriend.
06:48He's in a mental asylum now.
06:50Um, wow, that's amazing.
06:53It doesn't sound anything like our Matthew, though.
06:55He's terrified of birds.
06:57Also dogs, cats, squirrels, butterflies.
07:01Water, heights, sunflowers, grapes.
07:04Right, of course I found out later he's a scaredy cat.
07:08Which made the duck thing even more special.
07:10He overcame his fears to save me.
07:13His parents smiled at me warmly.
07:16I'm sure you already know this, but Matthew's a genius.
07:19It was his dream to get into that school on scholarship.
07:22But ever since he's gone there, he's been so different.
07:26Closed off, moody, even angry.
07:28We're really happy to know at least he had you to talk to.
07:32I felt quite bad for being a big fat liar as I left that evening.
07:36And I was no closer to finding the truth.
07:38Well, at least now I knew which bedroom was Matthew's.
07:41So the next night, I decided to sneak into his room when everyone was asleep.
07:45I managed to climb up the wall and was halfway through the window when my butt got stuck.
07:50Oh God, when did my butt get so big?
07:52Probably eating all those French pastries at lunch.
07:55Why do they serve such stupid stuff in school?
07:57Oh, you know what they say. Ouch!
07:59Moment in the mouth, forever on the butt, or something like that.
08:03I finally managed to get through and fell on the ground with a thud.
08:07And I quickly crawled under the bed.
08:08Seconds later, Cody walked in.
08:10Gosh, even his feet were pretty.
08:12And he was swinging a baseball bat.
08:14Anyone there? I'm warning you, I'm armed.
08:17I lay there silently and watched him leave.
08:19I sighed in relief and turned around and suddenly felt someone pulling me out by my shirt.
08:24Sophia, what on earth are you doing here?
08:27I stared up at him, my mind racing.
08:29Just then, I spotted a pair of Matthew's shoes under the bed and grabbed them.
08:33Oh, I just came here because I miss Matthew so much.
08:38I was just sniffing his shoes.
08:41The smell of his feet makes me feel like he's still with me.
08:45He hasn't died, Sophia.
08:46You know what? I think you're lying about something.
08:49What are you actually doing here?
08:51I just had to tell him the truth.
08:52Well, the partial truth.
08:54Okay, so I didn't tell you before, but Matthew started shutting me out too lately.
08:59I've seen the popular kids in school talking to him a few times, but he'd never tell me what it was about.
09:04And right before his accident, I heard Matthew telling them that he was gonna expose them all.
09:09He's involved with these kids in something serious, and I have to find out what.
09:13But what were you expecting to find here?
09:16The biggest bully, Aaron, seems to think Matthew has something on him, like a video maybe?
09:21I need to check his phone and laptop, please!
09:24I'll help you.
09:25We went through Matthew's phone and laptop, but didn't find anything.
09:28We searched all through his drawers and cupboards for any hard drives or any other clue, but turned up empty-handed, except…
09:35Cody, since when does Matthew get D's and F's?
09:38He looked at the quizzes I was holding up in shock.
09:41Never. Matthew's always shown us his report cards with straight A's.
09:45These quizzes are a few months old. If he was struggling with his grades, he never mentioned it.
09:50Well, he stopped talking to me pretty much since he joined this school. I miss him.
09:54You wanna sniff his shoes?
09:56No thank you. Come with me to see him at the hospital tomorrow?
10:00Of course.
10:01We started making hospital visits together, and I could see how much Cody cared for his little brother.
10:06And we often found ourselves hanging out afterwards too.
10:09At first, we were just talking about Matthew, but soon we were having conversations about everything.
10:15He seemed to find me funny, and I loved making him laugh with my silly antics.
10:19His parents loved having me over too.
10:21And it wasn't long before I had a major crush on Cody.
10:25I mean, literally, it took me a week.
10:27Well, actually, a second, when I saw him in that towel.
10:31But of course, I couldn't say anything because I'm a professional, an undercover journalist, and most importantly, his brother's fake girlfriend.
10:39Meanwhile at school, I reassured Aaron that I'd look through everything Matthew owned, and he didn't have anything on Aaron and his friends.
10:46So, you wanna tell me now what this is all about?
10:49I want you to trust me, Aaron.
10:51I think I can. I noticed you got C's and D's on your quizzes lately.
10:55Yeah, I've been kind of busy snooping around Matthew's house lately, so haven't been studying much.
11:00And this school's tough.
11:02Well, you know that, uh, giant chemistry quiz coming up on Monday?
11:06You're gonna ace it.
11:07And then, he pulled out some papers from his locker and handed them to me.
11:11The quiz with the answer key.
11:13Thank me later by going out with me, babe.
11:16He winked and walked off as I stood there in shock, then quickly stuffed the quiz in my bag.
11:21Aaron and his group were stealing exams from the teacher's room, and Matthew was involved in this too?
11:26And when I told Cody later that day in the hospital, he was stunned.
11:30Matthew cheating? Stealing exams? It can't be. He wouldn't. He's always been such a good kid.
11:36But he was getting bad grades and hiding them, and then something changed, right?
11:41And we know he's involved with these kids. He said he'd expose them, even if it meant getting expelled himself.
11:48I can hardly believe it. What have you been up to, Matthew? Just wake up and tell me.
11:53I put my hand on Cody's to comfort him, and the way he looked up at me made my heart race.
11:58Then he quickly pulled his hand away.
12:00Sophia, you're my brother's girl.
12:02Just then, the door burst open, and a short, curly-haired girl ran in, pushed me aside, and threw herself on Matthew.
12:10Oh my god, I came as soon as I heard. Come on, Maddie, I'm here now. Wake up.
12:15And then she planted a big kiss on his lips.
12:18Why is true love's kiss not working? Maybe I should slap him hard.
12:22Hold up, who are you?
12:24I'm his girlfriend, Penny. Matt and I have been together for two years, since his old school.
12:30But I'd been away with my family for a month on this camping trip where we had no signals, and I hadn't talked to Matt in weeks.
12:37When I returned, a friend told me he was in a coma. You're Cody, right?
12:41Oh, my brother-in-law, I'm here for you.
12:44What are you talking about? That's his girlfriend. Sophia, why aren't you saying anything?
12:49I... I am just speechless.
12:51What? I'm his girlfriend, his one and only. Where did this witch come from?
12:57Matthew saved me from the ducks.
12:59Oh god, he's playing us both. He's a two-timer.
13:04I'm such a terrible person. Ain't no way I'm giving up my man to some Gucci-wearing, hoity-toity tree trunk.
13:10You and me, outside, now!
13:12I had no idea what to do. I couldn't expose all my lies, so I had to go fight this girl for my boyfriend.
13:19A crowd gathered outside the hospital to watch our catfight. Ugh, I was really in it now.
13:24You want a piece of me, shorty? What you got in that nest on your head?
13:27Wow, your trash talk is pathetic. My mama can do better than that, Godzilla.
13:33Then she attacked me, and she was crazy. She knew frickin' kung fu.
13:38She kicked me in the stomach, punched me in the eye, pulled my hair, and bit my leg.
13:42She might have killed me if Cody hadn't intervened. And then she stormed off back to Matthew.
13:47Sophia, are you okay? Let's have a doctor take a look.
13:50No, I'm fine. I'll maybe get an ice pack for my throbbing eye.
13:55We sat on the bench outside as Cody held the ice pack to my face.
13:59I feel like I don't even know who my brother is anymore. Stealing exams? Having two girlfriends?
14:05Tell me about it.
14:06I'm really sorry, Sophia. Matthew doesn't deserve two beautiful girls fighting over him.
14:11You think I'm beautiful?
14:13Well, yeah, if it helps. More than Penny.
14:16It helps. Cody was just sitting so close to me, and he looked irresistible.
14:22And I found myself leaning forward and kissing him. He kissed me back, then suddenly jumped away.
14:28No, no. This is terrible.
14:30Wait, what's terrible? The kiss or the situation?
14:34No, the kiss was great. The situation is terrible.
14:37Sophia, how could you just kiss me? You're my brother's girlfriend.
14:41Well, he already has another girlfriend. I don't even know who I am in this situation.
14:46All I know is that I can't do this while my brother's in a coma. Maybe we should just stay away from each other.
14:52And with that, he walked off.
14:54Ugh, this was getting so complicated.
14:56I knew by now that Aaron and his group were stealing papers and getting perfect grades to get into the best universities.
15:02And maybe this was enough for my article.
15:05But my editor said we needed more solid proof, because it was just my word against theirs.
15:10Feeling defeated, I went to visit Matthew at the hospital one day. He was alone.
15:14And then the nurse told me that Matthew had been wearing a USB on a string around his neck, which had snapped today.
15:20I thanked her as she gave it to me, and then quickly took out my laptop and inserted the USB.
15:25And I was shocked to see security footage on it, clearly showing Aaron, his friends, and Matthew stealing exams from the teacher's room.
15:33This was all the proof I needed.
15:35Just then, Penny walked in with Cody.
15:38Good, you're here, Sophia. Or should I say Sally?
15:41I was just telling Cody what I found out about you, you lying, tall news reporter.
15:46With that, Penny shoved her phone in my face, showing my profile on the newspaper's website.
15:52So, let me get this straight. You've been here undercover as a high school student to write some article?
15:57And for that, you lied to me and my family about being my brother's girlfriend while he was in a coma?
16:03And you made us believe he's a two-timer?
16:05Listen, I know it looks bad, but...
16:07My parents are on their way here, and I think you should leave.
16:10Cody, please.
16:11Just go.
16:12Suddenly, Penny let out a scream as Matthew's eyelids fluttered open.
16:17I quickly left the room, and moments later, I saw his parents walk in, and I could hear everyone's excited voices.
16:23I was so happy for them that Matthew was awake.
16:25The next day at school, Aaron approached me.
16:28Hey babe, you want more of those tests?
16:30The first one was free, but it's $200 per test now.
16:34Wow, that's steep.
16:36Look around you, doll. Everyone here can pay.
16:39Well, except for that loser Matthew.
16:41He was struggling under the pressure and came to us for help, but he couldn't pay up.
16:45So we decided to make him our slave in return.
16:48We kept telling him that if we got caught, our rich parents would get us out of this mess, but he'd lose his scholarship and get expelled in a second.
16:57Right, it all makes sense now.
16:59Thanks, but I won't be needing any more of the tests.
17:02How come?
17:03I'm dropping out of school.
17:05I'd recorded my last conversation with Aaron on my phone, and I got to working on my article on the weekend.
17:10By Monday, it was out.
17:12By Tuesday, it was all over the news.
17:14By Friday, every student involved had been expelled, except for Matthew.
17:18I'd made it clear in my article that Matthew had wanted to do the right thing, and the principal decided to be lenient and only suspend him.
17:26It was a relief to be Sally again, but I felt bad about how things had ended with Cody.
17:30I wanted to apologize to him and his parents, but he wouldn't take my calls.
17:34A few weeks went by, and I was surprised to find a card on my desk from Matthew inviting me to Cody's baseball game.
17:41That night, I found Matthew in the stands.
17:43Look who it is.
17:44My girlfriend.
17:45Ha ha, where's your other girlfriend?
17:48She's on her way here.
17:49You better watch out.
17:50I liked your article, by the way.
17:52Thanks.
17:53How did you get a hold of that security footage?
17:55I think the principal was beginning to suspect that someone was stealing papers, because the last time Aaron and his friends made me go with them, I noticed a new camera in the teacher's room.
18:04I hacked into the school's security system, retrieved the footage, and put in some fake one.
18:08I told Aaron I'd destroyed it, but I hadn't.
18:11Right.
18:12Also, you're the one who sent the anonymous tip to the newspaper, didn't you?
18:16Yeah.
18:17I was tired of living a lie.
18:18By the way, I'm dropping out of that school and going back to my old one with Penny.
18:22What?
18:23Why?
18:24I was miserable there, Sally.
18:25I can't take that pressure.
18:27I wish I'd just been able to own up to that earlier and tell my family.
18:30I was so afraid of disappointing them that I ended up cheating instead.
18:34But thank you for exposing those jerks and making my life better, really.
18:38Now, you should go talk to my brother before his game starts.
18:41I promise.
18:42He's ready to listen.
18:43I skipped off to find Cody and burst into the boys' locker room, and I stood transfixed.
18:48So many shirtless athletes.
18:51Just then, Cody appeared and dragged me out.
18:53That was subtle, Sally.
18:55Come on, it's just some eye candy.
18:57Okay, okay, listen.
18:59Cody, I owe you an apology.
19:01I'm sorry for lying to you and your parents, but I was just trying to do my job and even helping Matthew.
19:07It's not a great excuse for all my lies, but it's not a bad one either.
19:12Right?
19:13I guess not.
19:14Especially since you helped make things better for Matthew.
19:16And you make everyone in my family happy.
19:19I think my mom wishes you were still Matthew's girlfriend.
19:22And you?
19:23Oh, I'm super happy Penny exists because now I can do this without feeling guilty.
19:29And then he pulled me in for a kiss.
