00:00:00You ready to party? I don't think we've pre-gamed enough gaming girls to wait for that.
00:00:15The game has begun. I really don't think it's too late for us to just go home.
00:00:19No, it's too late. You told me this yourself, and I quote,
00:00:23I don't want to spend my entire college career reading about other people's sex lives.
00:00:27This is the last party of our college career.
00:00:30And even if you don't get laid, just dance and have a good time.
00:00:37Okay. Okay. You're right. Let's go.
00:00:45That's what you're falling for. I, uh, thanks.
00:00:57Girl, you just tripped yourself into an incant romance.
00:01:00That's exactly what it was. It felt like I was in one of Adam's old stories.
00:01:04It felt just too real and too fast.
00:01:06Wait, wait, wait. Adam, that smut writer you got hung up on?
00:01:10It's not smut, okay? He writes about love and tragedies and everything in between,
00:01:15and I don't just read them. We talk about them, about ourselves, about what it means to be alive.
00:01:22Hon, you never even met this guy.
00:01:26I was going to Megan. We had set up a date, and he ghosted me.
00:01:31I don't think I can forgive him, but I can't forget him.
00:01:34I mean, he's the whole reason that I'm an English literature.
00:01:36Uh-huh, yeah. Okay, so tonight, we are undoing all that damage. You take this.
00:01:41And I need to dance, so see ya.
00:01:45Wait, he's leaving me?
00:01:50Are you enjoying me, pal?
00:01:52Oh, I'll go see if your lover boy wants to dip you again.
00:02:21Oh, God.
00:02:24Hey.
00:02:25I'm good, thank you.
00:02:27Keep it great.
00:02:30Did you really think that was going to work, creep?
00:02:33You want to raise a hand? Raise one of these.
00:02:36It's cool, dude. Really, it's cool. I've been drinking a little bit.
00:02:39I'm sorry, really. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get out.
00:02:45It's cool.
00:02:51Are you okay?
00:02:54No, uh, I'm... I don't go to many parties. This is my one.
00:02:59Okay, he's gone.
00:03:02That's twice, and I saved you. Do you like playing dams on the streets?
00:03:07No, I... You're my dancer. I'm your knight. Uh...
00:03:12Never mind.
00:03:14What?
00:03:16Goodbye.
00:03:21Okay, okay.
00:03:25Hi, excuse me. Sorry. So sorry. We're moving.
00:03:28Okay, bye.
00:03:30Oh, my God. What? What is going on? What happened?
00:03:34I don't know why I thought I could just go out for one night and expect everything to go perfectly.
00:03:38I'm an idiot. I had one guy almost hit me.
00:03:40Hit you? Wait, who? Where?
00:03:42He's gone, and the guy who caught me earlier saved me again,
00:03:45and I thought he was flirting with me, so I tried to throw it back.
00:03:48But I screwed that up.
00:03:50Hey, he's a guy. It's harder to screw up your chances than you think.
00:03:53He probably thinks I'm insane. I think I called him my knight.
00:03:57I don't know. I'm trying to block it all out already.
00:04:00You win some, you lose some.
00:04:03Let's just go home and binge some ice cream and go more girls.
00:04:08Yeah.
00:04:10Hey, damsel, wait up.
00:04:12Julie, be cool.
00:04:15She had run far.
00:04:17Trying to outrun her own heart.
00:04:20Wait, is that from Forgotten Garden?
00:04:23Yeah, and you picked for reader.
00:04:25And as a runner, where are you going?
00:04:27I just thought it was better if I cut my losses for the night and give up flirting.
00:04:31Maybe forever.
00:04:34Was that what all that falling down and getting into fights was?
00:04:38Us flirting?
00:04:40Or even trying to save me back there?
00:04:43I'll be your damsel if you play my knight that rescues me.
00:04:48I'm actually really glad you can say that.
00:04:51Well, how about the truth?
00:04:53My friend dragged me to this party because she thinks I need to have fun in real life.
00:04:57And I think you're super hot, but I'm way too much of a wuss to do anything about that.
00:05:07How's that for fun?
00:05:13Hi.
00:05:26What?
00:05:28I want to hear you say it.
00:05:30Say what?
00:05:36That you want me now.
00:05:39I want you now.
00:05:43Okay.
00:06:13I want you now.
00:06:43Hi.
00:06:52Oh, so you're leaving.
00:06:55Well, you know I've got to take my shirt, too.
00:06:57Oh, I just thought we had a great time last night.
00:07:01We did.
00:07:02You said you wanted to have some fun, and you got it.
00:07:05Let me tell you, I'm having a blast now.
00:07:07Look, I'm just really not looking for anything beyond one night.
00:07:12It's staying over.
00:07:14I can only break so many of my own rules.
00:07:16Here.
00:07:17I'd hate for you to break some of your made-up rules.
00:07:20Oh, my God.
00:07:37That does not look like the face of one who just had the best night of her life.
00:07:41It's not.
00:07:43Oh, honey.
00:07:45What happened?
00:07:47It's like there was something about this guy.
00:07:49He and I were getting along so well.
00:07:51He was passionate, but smart, too.
00:07:54He quoted my favorite book, The Forgotten Garden.
00:07:57Yeah, never heard of that.
00:07:59But he sounds like your exact type.
00:08:01If that's all that matters.
00:08:02But then it's like I slept with Jekyll and woke up with Hyde.
00:08:07Oh, he's one of those?
00:08:10He basically kicked me out of the house.
00:08:12What?
00:08:13I'm telling you, he's two different people, and one of them wants nothing to do with me.
00:08:18Damn.
00:08:20Well, the beauty of one night stands is that you'll never have to see his face again.
00:08:25But what if he's in my class?
00:08:27No, no way.
00:08:29He probably doesn't even go here.
00:08:31He's probably one of those locals that likes to hang around college kids.
00:08:35Yeah, gross.
00:08:38I'm gonna shower.
00:08:39Yeah, get washed up.
00:09:10Okay, uh, give me a pencil if you guys are done.
00:09:12Oh my god.
00:09:15Good morning, class, and welcome to the start of a new year.
00:09:18Now, I know you all must be thrilled to see me after I announced my retirement last year.
00:09:23But I'm sorry to say your joy will be short-lived.
00:09:27Or is it short-lived?
00:09:28Well, anyway.
00:09:29I know you all must be thrilled to see me after I announced my retirement last year.
00:09:33But I'm sorry to say your joy will be short-lived.
00:09:37Or is it short-lived?
00:09:38Well, anyway.
00:09:39For the first two weeks of this semester, I will be showing your new creative writing professor the ropes he's running behind.
00:09:46Oh my god, if it's Professor McSteamy I saw in the hall today, I will not be able to concentrate.
00:09:50Ah, here he is now.
00:09:52Mr. Mitchell.
00:09:56Oh my god, that's him.
00:09:58Now, this is Mr. Mitchell's first year as a professor, but he was one of my best students not too long ago.
00:10:06I assure you, you are in capable hands.
00:10:11Anything you'd like to say?
00:10:14Uh, I, yeah, it's great to be here.
00:10:18It's a good day.
00:10:20Looking forward to it.
00:10:22Uh, teaching.
00:10:25I promise you, he's much better on the page.
00:10:32Alright folks, that's it. Thanks, see you tomorrow.
00:10:35At least he will.
00:10:44Nice to meet you.
00:10:47Hey, um, I'm sorry, who are we?
00:10:50Mr. Mitchell.
00:10:51Mr. Mitchell?
00:10:52It's Jace, right? It's Mr. Mitchell.
00:10:55Look, I wanted to apologize for my rude behavior that morning, and I hope that we can keep what happened in our personal lives out of the class.
00:11:02Oh, don't worry. You already made it crystal clear that you want me nowhere near your personal life.
00:11:07Look, this is just as a surprise to me as it is to you.
00:11:10It wasn't my intentions to make you feel like...
00:11:13Like I was trash on garbage day.
00:11:15Julie, that's not it. Do you want me to be honest?
00:11:18Yes, Mr. Mitchell.
00:11:21Honestly, I didn't know I was going to be a professor that night.
00:11:25I just finished grad school, no clue where to go from there.
00:11:29And if I had known, I probably wouldn't have even followed you outside, and all the rest.
00:11:35You're not the only one who regrets what we did, but don't worry. It'll never happen again.
00:11:52Hmm.
00:11:59Hey, Julie!
00:12:01You good? What's got you all worked up?
00:12:04Do you remember that guy, Mr. Jekyll and Hyde?
00:12:07Yeah. Wait, he's in one of your classes, isn't he?
00:12:12Sort of. He's teaching it.
00:12:14Shut up!
00:12:15I know, this is horrible.
00:12:17Oh my god. I mean, why though? It's not like you're going to hook up with him again.
00:12:20Miss, you forgot something.
00:12:22You left it in the hallway. I wanted to make sure you didn't leave without it.
00:12:26Well, thank you. That was very nice.
00:12:28Well, it was pretty selfish.
00:12:30I was afraid if I left it in the lost and found, I wouldn't be able to see your beautiful face light up when I return it.
00:12:39This is Tuli.
00:12:40Oh, I know. I'm in her creative writing class.
00:12:43I'm Armand. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
00:12:47Okay, quite the charmer.
00:12:49In France, we never hold back when we see something we like.
00:12:57I'm telling you, that French guy is so into you.
00:13:01He seems like the type that'd be into anybody.
00:13:03What? No, he was treating me like I wasn't even there.
00:13:08Which is absolutely crazy.
00:13:11Oh my god.
00:13:12What?
00:13:13He put his name in my phone.
00:13:15Oh, girl, he likes you.
00:13:19I know, but the crazy thing is, is meet-cutes and gestures like this only make me think of Adam and his stories.
00:13:26Oh, please. It's probably for the best that he stopped catfishing you.
00:13:31Forget him. Now, Armand, he's your real-life French lover. Okay?
00:13:38Good guys are hard to come by nowadays. You better hop on that before somebody else does.
00:13:45Trash. Garbage can.
00:14:15Hey, Tooey.
00:14:40Chase! Uh, Mr. Mitchell. I didn't know you wrote.
00:14:45Well, why would I teach others how to write if I wasn't doing it myself?
00:14:49More professors should have that attitude. What's the quote? Those who can't do, teach?
00:14:54Teachers do plenty. Knowledge is a thing that gives a person power.
00:14:59Who is that, Lockhart?
00:15:01I'm glad I got one student who reads. Doesn't seem to be too common these days.
00:15:06You sound like Professor Connor.
00:15:08Well, that's fine, as long as you don't think I look like him.
00:15:13What are those?
00:15:14From Professor Connor. He said you know what to do with them.
00:15:17You didn't volunteer to bring them, did you?
00:15:19I'll leave you alone to flatter yourself.
00:15:21That wasn't a no.
00:15:23I thought you said you wanted to keep our personal lives separate. Isn't that what you want?
00:15:27What I want doesn't matter. What matters is what we are, teacher and student.
00:15:33Well, the next time you think about flirting with me, remember what we are.
00:15:38I can manage if you can.
00:15:40Oh, believe me, that won't be an issue.
00:15:43Thank you for dropping off the papers, but next time only visit when you really need me.
00:15:48You won't be seeing much of me then.
00:15:51Bye.
00:16:02Julie.
00:16:03Armand.
00:16:04I was waiting for you to call.
00:16:06Sorry, I've just been distracted.
00:16:09What is it? A face as beautiful does not deserve a frown.
00:16:12I just... It's nothing. One of my teachers is an ass.
00:16:17You need a break from school? Let me cheer you up. Whatever you want.
00:16:22How about I cook you some boeuf bourguignon, we watch a French movie, and we have a little tour of France?
00:16:28How does that sound?
00:16:30That might get me out of it.
00:16:31Yeah? How about dancing? Would you like that?
00:16:47Let's go.
00:16:53So what do you think? Does this hold up to your dirty dancing?
00:16:58Nothing ever does. But it was good.
00:17:01Well, good for you then, because I had another one for you.
00:17:04There is a screening of La Vie en Rose this Friday. One of my favorites. Would you come with me?
00:17:11Friday is actually my birthday.
00:17:13That sounds nice. I don't have anything planned. Because I'm cool with that.
00:17:18Your birthday? I mean, Tully, a movie won't do it. You deserve a party.
00:17:24Let me host, what do you say, Big Bash?
00:17:28We barely know each other. You don't have to do that.
00:17:32Please, Tully. I insist. Let me do that for you.
00:17:35Let's take it as the beginning of a new year. The year of Tully.
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:43Tully? What are you doing?
00:17:58I'm reading some of Adam's old stories.
00:18:01What? I thought everything with Armand was going so good.
00:18:05It did.
00:18:06Okay.
00:18:07Adam's just been on my mind lately, and I can't figure out why.
00:18:10Okay, you have to show me something of his. There's no way that he's that good of a writer.
00:18:14Okay.
00:18:16Here. The blue blossom fields matched her eyes, and the spirit within them.
00:18:21That life, joyful, free thing that danced and arced across her gaze when she looked at me.
00:18:27I swam wondrously in those eyes, desperate and sad as she drifted off to sleep.
00:18:32My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:18:38Damn. That is good.
00:18:41Too bad he's not real.
00:18:43He was real, Megan.
00:18:45Uh-huh.
00:18:46But he just vanished. I don't know if I can take that kind of rejection again.
00:18:53Honey.
00:18:55Okay.
00:18:56Armand is a real-life human with real-life human genitalia.
00:19:01And he's throwing you a birthday party in an hour.
00:19:04He won't ghost you like Adam.
00:19:07I won't let him.
00:19:10That's enough of that, okay?
00:19:13Get ready for your party.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:27Okay.
00:19:35Julie. Bienvenue.
00:19:38Hey. Oh.
00:19:41Come in.
00:19:42Everyone, say hi to Julie. It's her birthday.
00:19:45Happy birthday!
00:19:48Armand, come on. Let's go to the club. It'll be fun.
00:19:52No, Lucien.
00:20:01Come dance with me.
00:20:04Sorry. Not now.
00:20:05Okay. But before the end of the night, we're dancing, right?
00:20:11Here. Take this.
00:20:15Julie, look. Look at this party.
00:20:17Look at what Armand is doing for you, okay?
00:20:20Just forget about your days lost in fiction and get with your life.
00:20:24It's real life.
00:20:26Okay. All right.
00:20:28Now that's what I'm talking about, girl. Come on.
00:20:35Julie, look at you.
00:20:37You should go to the ballroom dancing sometimes.
00:20:39You love dancing, don't you?
00:20:42No.
00:20:43There's something else I love more, though.
00:20:45Armand, I've had too much to drink.
00:20:47Julie, look what I've done for you. Let's have a good time.
00:20:50I was having fun.
00:20:52Come to my room. I'll show you your birthday gift.
00:20:54No, don't do this.
00:20:56Julie, you're making a scene right now.
00:20:58I'm gonna make a scene if you grab me like that.
00:21:00Leave it.
00:21:05All right.
00:21:23Julie?
00:21:25Oh, it's you.
00:21:27Are you okay?
00:21:28No, I'm walking home.
00:21:31How far away is your place?
00:21:33I'm almost there.
00:21:35Just three...
00:21:38four more miles.
00:21:40Okay, come on.
00:21:42I'm gonna take you home after a glass of water.
00:21:44What do you care?
00:21:46Julie, I'm trying to help you.
00:21:51I thought you wanted to keep it professional, Ace.
00:21:57Mr. Mitchell.
00:21:58I am not your professor right now.
00:22:00I'm just someone who cares about seeing you wake up tomorrow safe.
00:22:05Come on.
00:22:11You really care, don't you?
00:22:14Like more than just someone wanting me to get home safe.
00:22:17You care about me.
00:22:20I'm trying so hard not to.
00:22:23You can do anything to me and it wouldn't be forced.
00:22:28It wouldn't be right, either.
00:22:30That's the thing.
00:22:33It may seem wrong, but...
00:22:36it's just the right time.
00:22:39What was that?
00:22:48My heart shattered, because I knew...
00:22:52I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:22:57I'm sorry.
00:23:28Had to go run an errand.
00:23:30There's some coffee in the kitchen.
00:23:32Advil on the counter.
00:23:34Hope your head doesn't hurt too much.
00:23:45Jeez Louise!
00:23:47Why were you off with the call to cops?
00:23:49I'm sorry.
00:23:50Honey.
00:23:52What happened?
00:23:54Honey.
00:23:56What happened?
00:23:58I left the party after Armand basically forced himself on me.
00:24:01What?
00:24:02My phone died and I ended up staying with Chase.
00:24:06Oh my god.
00:24:08Please tell me you didn't sleep with your professor again.
00:24:10I didn't.
00:24:11He just took care of me.
00:24:13That doesn't sound any better.
00:24:15No, it's...
00:24:17We didn't do anything.
00:24:18I made an idiot of myself and passed out.
00:24:21That's it.
00:24:22The important thing is you're safe.
00:24:24I'm just glad you're home.
00:24:37Julie.
00:24:38Chase.
00:24:40Are you feeling better?
00:24:42I am, thanks.
00:24:44I wanted to apologize. I wasn't...
00:24:49I wasn't in a good place.
00:24:52Thank you for taking care of me.
00:24:54Of course.
00:24:56I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up, but it was probably for the best.
00:25:00Not exactly the Friday night you wanted to deal with, I'm sure.
00:25:04I didn't mind the company.
00:25:06Well, I could have been better.
00:25:09You want to keep things professional and that certainly didn't help.
00:25:14I don't think keeping things professional is an option for us.
00:25:18Do you?
00:25:22No.
00:25:27This is a bad idea.
00:25:29I could lose my job.
00:25:31I could get kicked out of school.
00:25:33The risk is too high. We've got to keep this completely academic.
00:25:36I'm glad we agree.
00:25:38I love you.
00:25:52The only way I'm going to allow myself to do this is if it's no feelings, just fun.
00:25:58Anything else is just too messy.
00:26:01And you can do that.
00:26:03You can be my professor with benefits.
00:26:07God, I hate the sound of that.
00:26:10Then we don't have to close anything.
00:26:12Just our dirty little secret.
00:26:23Not here.
00:26:37Not here.
00:26:59Love is divine only and difficult always.
00:27:04Does anyone know who said that?
00:27:07Toni Morrison.
00:27:08Great job, Tui.
00:27:10Great job, Tui.
00:27:12I bet she hears that every night.
00:27:14She's been teacher's pet all semester, hasn't she?
00:27:16I'm going to visit his office later today and maybe I'll get some extra credit too.
00:27:20You wouldn't need the extra credit if you'd actually pay attention instead of talking about me.
00:27:23I'm not the only one talking about you.
00:27:25Ladies, please.
00:27:27So, we're talking about cognitive dissonance and how it can be more than a useful tool.
00:27:34How sometimes it's everything that it means to be human.
00:27:38Now, last night I read some of your papers.
00:27:42I would say about 50% of you understand what I'm talking about.
00:27:47Or I should say Toni's talking about.
00:27:50You know, Cassandra and her cronies won't shut up about you and they're starting to bring me into it now too.
00:28:04You have no reason to be jealous. Trust me.
00:28:07I only sleep with one student at a time.
00:28:10Ha ha.
00:28:17Dinner is ready.
00:28:19Julie, that's my novel. It's not...
00:28:22I love it. I'm only a few pages in but I absolutely love it.
00:28:27I do have a few notes though.
00:28:30Oh, you have some notes, do you?
00:28:32Yeah. It's a diamond in the rough.
00:28:34I'll show you the rough.
00:28:43Which character grew up in Hades?
00:28:46John T...
00:28:50Oh, I'll get it.
00:28:56Hi. Could I talk to Julie?
00:28:59I'll check.
00:29:02It's Armand.
00:29:10I'll be in the other room if you need me.
00:29:16Hi. I'm sorry for how I acted.
00:29:22Not just for trying to kiss you but I shouldn't have let you go without making sure you had a safe way home.
00:29:29I made it home safe. Bumped into an old friend.
00:29:32Please tell me I didn't ruin anything between us.
00:29:35I'm trying to keep up with you and I'd like to make it up to you.
00:29:39And I'm trying to show you that I'm the gentleman you deserve.
00:29:44Hey, why don't we go on a date together? I mean a real one.
00:29:48Just you and I. No French film. No party. Just us.
00:29:53What do you think about that?
00:29:55Not right now.
00:30:04So, are you gonna go out with him?
00:30:07I don't know. I told him not right now.
00:30:10Is it because of the party? I totally get that.
00:30:13Well, um, I've kind of been hooking up with someone.
00:30:19Ooh, spicy.
00:30:21Well, it better not be your teacher because that would be crazy.
00:30:26Tuli?
00:30:28No, Tuli.
00:30:30What?
00:30:31Well, it better be hot.
00:30:32Oh, it's hot.
00:30:34You're gonna get in trouble, girl.
00:30:36I am the trouble.
00:30:37Oh my god. Come here.
00:30:39Oh my god.
00:30:41Just be careful, okay?
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:44Alright.
00:30:49What does your piece have to say?
00:30:51Behind everything written on the page,
00:30:53what is the reader supposed to walk away from your story with?
00:30:56For example, justice is one of the major themes in Tuli's Mockingbird, or
00:31:02To Kill a Mockingbird.
00:31:04Excuse me.
00:31:06Um, what was I saying?
00:31:15You're gonna get me in trouble with those Freudian slips in class.
00:31:18I'm the one who's gonna get into trouble.
00:31:20And you loved it, I could tell.
00:31:22I've got a hot professor inserting my name into classic literature titles.
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:28What's not to love?
00:31:29Wait till we talk about a Tuli of two cities.
00:31:31No, shut up.
00:31:32Or a Catch-22-ly.
00:31:33I am shutting you up then.
00:31:36Okay.
00:31:53Yeah, if I don't get an A this semester,
00:31:55my mom's totally gonna cut off my meal card.
00:31:58Yeah, I know, who does that?
00:31:59Like, totally psychotic.
00:32:01Like, I'm already suffering enough.
00:32:07Hello, Mr. Mitchell.
00:32:09Hey, Sandra.
00:32:10I just wanted to turn in this paper a little early this week.
00:32:13Yeah, absolutely.
00:32:15Is everything okay?
00:32:17Yeah, it's, uh, it's all part of the grading process.
00:32:21Interesting.
00:32:23Thanks, we'll see you next week.
00:32:36That was too close.
00:32:38No more of that here.
00:32:40I'll see you later tonight then?
00:32:43No, we wait a few seconds.
00:32:45He might still be out there.
00:32:46Oh, yeah?
00:32:47What are we supposed to do while we wait?
00:32:49Anything but what we were doing before.
00:33:06Tam, my notebook.
00:33:24That bastard, that's why he wanted to keep it physical.
00:33:27I can't believe I let him lead me on like that.
00:33:29You think he could be married?
00:33:31I don't know, should I call him, confront him?
00:33:33Mm-mm, drop him.
00:33:35If he's gonna treat you like you're nothing, you should do the same.
00:33:38I say call Armand.
00:33:40He wants to take you out on a real date, right?
00:33:43Yeah, but Jace is...
00:33:45The Jace is your teacher, and you're his student.
00:33:49But what else is he hiding from you if he's, like, seeing this other woman?
00:33:52You're right.
00:33:53I know.
00:33:54Let's party.
00:33:59Armand?
00:34:00I think...
00:34:03I think I changed my mind about that date.
00:34:07Your date with Armand is gonna be so cute.
00:34:10I bet that he knows all the best French restaurants around here.
00:34:14He says they're all awful.
00:34:16We're getting sushi.
00:34:17What?
00:34:23Oh, it's my dad.
00:34:26Hey, Dad.
00:34:32What?
00:34:34It's my grandma.
00:34:38And that's all, everyone.
00:34:41Come back Monday with those revisions, and have a great weekend.
00:34:56Hey, it's Julie.
00:34:57Just leave me a message.
00:35:03Hi, is Julie here?
00:35:05Sorry, I'm alone. She's not here.
00:35:07Can you give her that?
00:35:09Thanks.
00:35:11Goodbye.
00:35:17Hello?
00:35:18There's a rain check on Armand, but he said he's sorry for your loss and gave you these.

00:44:15I was married for two years and it started off great I was in love
00:44:27thought it was at least we fell apart she cheated she threatened to ruin me
00:44:38when I try to leave her
00:44:43still I had to get out of it I had lost so much I had told myself that my book
00:44:55would come first and I in a time to fall for something
00:45:05so I met you
00:45:25you
00:45:55I'm sorry we can't be together I wanted to feel the same sort of passion
00:46:02that you felt for me but this is because of professor Mitchell what what are you
00:46:07talking about I saw him at your house to leave I wanted to tell you about it but
00:46:12it's complicated with him I was never really sure about anything was our date
00:46:17really going to happen yes but I told you that my grandmother yes yes I know
00:46:23but your heart was never really in it was it I felt pressured to be with you
00:46:28Armand if you read the romance novels you're the perfect guy but I don't think
00:46:34perfect is for me anymore it's got to be more than just gestures it's got to be
00:46:41real so you think what you got with him is real it's becoming more real every
00:46:46day I just hope he feels the same for you too or it's gonna hurt you
00:47:02no toy no use hiding something
00:47:16well it's over with our mom Julie I have to tell you something about Jace
00:47:26um remember when I was like what do we even really know about him well that
00:47:34thought stuck with me and I know you guys have been you know making up I know
00:47:39I'm nosy and awful friend please just just hear me out Megan it's fine what
00:47:45did you find out okay well I found his faculty page and his email and I decided
00:47:50to search it up okay and you're gonna want to sit down for this one
00:47:59Jace's website was created using the same email as Adam's ink it account
00:48:30everything okay no Jace it's not right you were gonna tell me tell you what
00:48:36that you're Adam no wonder I loved your writing I've been reading it for years
00:48:43who's Adam huh just some alter ego that you made up Adam is my middle name
00:48:49person you're talking to was a real me how long have you known was it before
00:48:55that first night did you to plan all this no I found out when I saw you in
00:49:01class months after that first night between us you said the name to one of
00:49:05your chapter titles and I realized who you were I wanted to stay away I
00:49:10couldn't then why didn't you tell me even when we first started seeing each
00:49:14other I was afraid you think I was manipulating you what else am I supposed
00:49:20to call it when that's exactly what you're doing three years ago when we
00:49:24were supposed to meet you were married weren't you the whole time we talked
00:49:30online you were married yes unbelievable Jace Adam I don't know
00:49:37which version of you I'm more angry with
00:49:41it's bad enough that he's my teacher but this I just think back on everything
00:49:55between us and wonder what he's been operating on behind the scenes I knew
00:50:02something was wrong with him that's why I had to look into it thank you for
00:50:05being nosy you're right you're also a great friend hey at least it all came
00:50:12out now and no real damage was done you dodged a bullet should I drop out of
00:50:18the class no absolutely not we are not letting him win this one okay
00:50:35I am NOT sentimental I am as romantic as you are the idea that you know is
00:50:57that a sentimental person thinks things will last a romantic person has a
00:51:04desperate confidence that they won't what does Fitzgerald mean by this it
00:51:10sounds nice but I don't think it's honest how so because some people are
00:51:17neither some people just use others thinking that they won't last and then
00:51:26they're glad to throw them away
00:51:56so yes they called me back in to finish off your class I'm sorry to say that
00:52:19mr. Mitchell has resigned some administrative matter that's all I'm
00:52:24gonna say so help me get caught up with where we are in the assignment from what
00:52:32I understand you're supposed to take one chapter out of the way living novels and
00:52:38write it in your own stuff
00:52:45chase should be I'm just packing up what happened you tell me look I know you're
00:52:55hurt I don't think you do anything like this
00:53:08Julie did you do it do what tell me the truth did you report chase to the school
00:53:21I did report him because it was the right thing to do anything you only did
00:53:27that because I chose him over you can it be both really there is rules that are
00:53:31exist and you can't deny that you broke them even if he doesn't hurt you what is
00:53:34it going to do with the other student the next student our man you cost him
00:53:38his job maybe his whole career I did that oh what about him what about you
00:53:42you think you're innocent in all of that
00:53:56I know how the investigation is gonna end I figured better leave on her
00:54:02suspicion and be the confirmed disgrace that I am doesn't this mean you can see
00:54:08tool you know with no secrets that's the best part who is gone we're through
00:54:18Jace why we didn't realize it but we used to talk on a site where I would
00:54:25write my stories I was married to Brooke things were already falling apart at
00:54:32that point when we set an actual date I knew I had gone too far I know I had to
00:54:41break it off and by the time Brooke and I had divorced was too late she blocked
00:54:52me so even when we started seeing each other as well us I still couldn't tell
00:55:01her I knew she wouldn't forgive me for ghosting her for lying to her and she
00:55:11didn't she turned me in and I deserve what you don't deserve is to beat
