00:00:06Is that Alex? Dang. No wonder he's the top most bangable enlisted three years running. He's so fine.
00:00:15Yeah, rich daddy on the school board, isn't it?
00:00:18Today's the student president election? No chance anyone's beating him.
00:00:23So, who's this new guy I'm up against? Any dirt?
00:00:26Xavier. Scholarship kid. Geeky. Still fit, though. Number two on the bangable list, so right behind you. Bit of a
00:00:36loner?
00:00:36Never heard of him.
00:00:38I told you, don't come home without the cash.
00:00:44Hey, this is St. Mountain High. Not a freaking pub.
00:00:51Fine. She won't outrun this.
00:00:55You okay?
00:01:02Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:06Not even a thank you?
00:01:08At least tell me your name.
00:01:11It's not important.
00:01:17And that is Xavier Miller.
00:01:21All right, Xavier. I'll see you at the debate.
00:01:31All right, let's begin.
00:01:33The football kit budget was inflated 230%.
00:01:37Money that could have paid for students' transport who were working late.
00:01:44Are you accusing my father of corruption? Just stating the facts?
00:01:48Uh, we're going to take a quick five-minute recess.
00:01:54Here's another fact, genius.
00:01:55That extra money was used to help donate to underprivileged kids for new equipment.
00:02:00So, do you see now that you made me look like a fool for absolutely no reason?
00:02:24I'm сюда.
00:02:28But I'll do you at it.
00:02:33I'm scared.
00:02:33Put in your face.
00:02:34I'll hide next to you.
00:02:49What the actual fuck?
00:02:55That was unexpected.
00:02:58Did Alex just kiss that dude?
00:03:01I thought you had a gaze.
00:03:03Hey, you good?
00:03:06I want everything on him.
00:03:08And I mean everything.
00:03:11Yeah.
00:03:23I just sold the damn house.
00:03:29What?
00:03:30You had no right.
00:03:32That's all Mom left us.
00:03:34Where will we live now?
00:03:35You want to see your old man get beaten to death by lung sharks?
00:03:41I need the money.
00:03:44How about quitting the booze and gambling instead of wrecking our lives?
00:03:57Eight o'clock tonight's school cafe.
00:03:59Got a proposal that could fix your money issues.
00:04:07I hear you laughing and I see you smile.
00:04:17You know that you're my everything.
00:04:24Whatever this is, make it quick.
00:04:29I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:04:32I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:04:48How many of us?
00:04:49I want you to be me.
00:04:50How many would we do it?
00:04:50Are you seriously trying to hire me as your fake boyfriend?
00:04:54My friend?
00:04:54Real romantic, Watson.
00:04:57But they want me to be my boyfriend.
00:05:01Okay.
00:05:01Wow.
00:05:01That's why I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:05:08I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:05:15It's more like damage control.
00:05:18You see, you made me look like a fool in front of the entire school,
00:05:21so now you gotta fix it.
00:05:23If it weren't for the homophobia rumors,
00:05:26taking your poll numbers,
00:05:27would you still want to date a guy?
00:05:31Hell no. No, no, no. You see, this is just business.
00:05:39Duration?
00:05:40Until the election's over.
00:05:44That you're talking too much.
00:05:46I like how we just went,
00:05:48and I'm not even slightly afraid to be opening up.
00:05:52Keep it professional, Watson.
00:05:54Don't get any ideas.
00:06:00Don't you worry.
00:06:02Feelings aren't on the menu.
00:06:05You look in my eyes and I already hope this lasts.
00:06:13Tryin' hard not to jump, not to move too fast.
00:06:22Let the games begin, boyfriend.
00:06:28Let the games begin, boyfriend.
00:06:33No one's watching us. You can drop the act now.
00:06:36You should probably tell your heart rate that.
00:06:39Jumping like crazy in there.
00:06:40Whatever. I'm leaving.
00:06:42Hey, did I say you could leave?
00:06:46We have a frat party to hit.
00:06:48It's time to show off St. Mountain's new favorite couple.
00:06:58Is this part of the PR system too?
00:07:01Obviously, one accidental kiss is not going to sell this relationship.
00:07:04How is it?
00:07:05Let's make it believable.
00:07:06Hey, look out!
00:07:07It's our star quarterback and his cute nerdy boyfriend!
00:07:13Once and you lay, you know what that means, right?
00:07:15Penalty round.
00:07:18Let's go!
00:07:19Alright boys, rules are simple.
00:07:22Ice Cube goes mouth to mouth.
00:07:24No hands allowed, no dropping.
00:07:32Do we really have to do this?
00:07:34Are you scared?
00:07:42Technically, this is not sanitary.
00:08:31What the hell is wrong with you?
00:08:33We need people to buy this, right?
00:08:36What the hell is wrong with you?
00:08:41What's that?
00:08:43Extra credit homework?
00:08:45Our campaign team thinks we're lacking couples chemistry.
00:08:47Voters aren't convinced.
00:08:52Well...
00:08:53Pro tip, genius.
00:08:55Kissing with your eyes open is a dead giveaway.
00:09:09You just ruined our chemistry reference.
00:09:12Voters want sparks, not stats.
00:09:15And, uh, Mark set up that whole livestream thing, so I think it's time to show the world
00:09:19just how in love we are.
00:09:21What?
00:09:22You didn't think to ask me first?
00:09:25Contract clearly states you do what I say.
00:09:29Oh, why don't you guys get a load of this?
00:09:31A robot boyfriend here is glitching again.
00:09:34What?
00:09:34What?

00:09:42You need a shower.
00:09:44Fine.
00:09:45Fine.
00:09:46But you're joining me.
00:09:47And Mark's gonna livestream the whole thing.
00:09:51It's time to showcase those acting chops.
00:10:08Come on, grab me a towel.
00:10:10You didn't think to get one before the strip show?
00:10:13I could walk out naked if you'd like.
00:10:26What?
00:10:27Why so shy all of a sudden?
00:10:29You can have a quick look if you want.
00:10:31Maybe, uh, a little touch?
00:10:36I'm not gonna stop you.
00:10:43Why?
00:10:43It's hard to be outerapeg.
00:10:43Why?
00:10:59Or maybe it's fine.
00:11:00Why?
00:11:00Why?
00:11:00Why?

00:14:22even pretend I care about school traditions
00:14:23that I don't even like.
00:14:25There's no way I could fake this.
00:14:28And yeah, maybe it started as a deal,
00:14:30but now everything I said was true.
00:14:42Cut!
00:14:46That was perfect.
00:14:48At least the votes won't go down now.
00:14:51I've done my bit.
00:14:54Hey.
00:14:59Just doing what we agreed to.
00:15:02But seeing you hurt is never part of the deal.
00:15:10I owe you, Xavier.
00:15:12And listen, whatever happens with the election, I just...
00:15:16It's nothing.
00:15:18Just sticking to the script, right?
00:15:21You sure that's all it is?
00:15:23You sure there's no hidden feelings creeping up?
00:15:27God, you never stop, did you?
00:15:30Dead end on the hacker.
00:15:31Whoever it was was bouncing off of multiple VPNs.
00:15:35So...
00:15:36Great.
00:15:37So you're dealing with a pro.
00:15:39Listen, everybody is going to be watching your every move.
00:15:42Okay?
00:15:43Every look, every moment...
00:15:45Has to be authentic.
00:15:48We got this.
00:15:49Right?
00:15:55Ah, shit.
00:15:57Left my football gear at home.
00:15:59That school paper shoots tomorrow.
00:16:02Wanna come with?
00:16:04Sure.
00:16:05Cause I've got nothing else to do.
00:16:07Come on.
00:16:13Okay.
00:16:14Something is definitely going on between those two.
00:16:25Whoa.
00:16:26This is your average family home?
00:16:29It's my father's place.
00:16:30Not mine.
00:16:31Meaning?
00:16:32Meaning I have an older half-brother and a dad who's super big on competition.
00:16:37So...
00:16:38If I want any part of this family fortune, then...
00:16:42I have to beat them.
00:16:46Winning that election...
00:16:48It's the first step.
00:16:50Keep your family drama to yourself.
00:16:52I'm not your therapist.
00:16:55You serious?
00:16:57I thought you were the one who wanted to make this look believable.
00:17:00Fine.
00:17:01I'll keep your sad rich boy drama in mind.
00:17:04Shut up.
00:17:05Come on.
00:17:09Alright, well...
00:17:09I need to go grab my jersey, but...
00:17:11Why don't you read a book or something?
00:17:23Well, well.
00:17:25I didn't expect to see you here.
00:17:28Sorry, do I know you?
00:17:33You must be Xavier.
00:17:35The famous boyfriend.
00:17:37And...
00:17:38And you are?
00:17:39I'm Noah.
00:17:40Alex's older brother.
00:17:44Ouch.
00:17:46Cold reception.
00:17:48So...
00:17:49Has Alex's fiance met you yet?
00:17:52Fiance?
00:17:54Oh...
00:17:55Did he leave out that little detail?
00:17:59This whole fake boyfriend thing.
00:18:00He's done it before.
00:18:02Left quite the trail of broken hearts.
00:18:05What are you implying?
00:18:08Alex doesn't date guys.
00:18:10He'll only get yourself hurt.
00:18:12You deserve to be with someone better.
00:18:16Someone like me.
00:18:17Are you insane?
00:18:19I'm just gay.
00:18:21An observant.
00:18:23Let's...
00:18:24Let's not pretend that you're straight two now, sweetheart.
00:18:31Get off! I'm not!
00:18:33Then why are you shaking?
00:18:35You're seriously messed up.
00:18:37Takes one to know one.
00:18:39You can't lie to yourself forever.
00:18:42Alex can offer you fame, money, all the shiny things in life.
00:18:46But I can offer you something he never could.
00:18:49Something real.
00:18:51Get off!
00:18:53What the fuck are you doing?
00:18:56Excellent timing, little brother.
00:18:59You stay the hell away from me!
00:19:02You hear me?
00:19:08Relax, babe.
00:19:09It's just some friendly competition.
00:19:13I'll be seeing you real soon.
00:19:16I can feel it.
00:19:19Asshole.
00:19:24Look, don't believe a word he says.
00:19:27Noah thrives on chaos.
00:19:30Including the part about your fiance?
00:19:34Look, that's just an arranged thing.
00:19:36Okay, my dad's idea.
00:19:38I honestly don't even know her.
00:19:40You don't owe me an explanation, Alex.
00:19:42I'm just a part of your PR stunt, right?
00:19:46Is that really all this is to him?
00:19:50Right.
00:19:51Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:19:55I'm heading back.
00:19:57No.
00:19:57Why don't you just stay here?
00:20:00The guest room's open.
00:20:02I don't usually stay the night.
00:20:05Alright, then let me drive you.
00:20:12Hello.
00:20:14Congrats, kid.
00:20:15You're officially homeless.
00:20:17Don't bother coming back.
00:20:18You're on your own now.
00:20:24I guess I might take you up on that offer.
00:20:27Best decision you're gonna make tonight.
00:20:29Now, let me show you to your room.
00:20:31Or mine if you prefer.
00:20:40You know I always dreamt of going pro in the NFL.
00:20:46I'm not surprised.
00:20:48You're football crazy.
00:20:50I was a quarterback.
00:20:53Even one state.
00:20:55My dad, he had other plans for me.
00:21:00Said he wouldn't have a Watson waste his future throwing a ball around.
00:21:08So, I became the perfect son.
00:21:13Got straight A's.
00:21:14Student body president.
00:21:17Anything in hopes that he let me play football again.
00:21:25Now your turn.
00:21:27Secret for secret.
00:21:29I've already seen enough.
00:21:30My father's a gambler.
00:21:33Family's a mess.
00:21:34There's nothing left to tell.
00:21:37See, I don't buy it.
00:21:39I think you have a bigger secret to tell, but...
00:21:41You're just too scared to say it out loud.
00:21:50Tell me.
00:21:51It'll be our little secret.
00:21:53It's running circles through my mind.
00:22:05I wanna be the only one you tell.
00:22:08Let's not pretend that you're straight two, sweetheart.
00:22:10Let's not pretend that you're straight two, sweetheart.
00:22:10You're wasted.
00:22:12Sleep it off.
00:22:14I'm taking a shower.
00:22:25I don't pay you for a cuddler.
00:22:35I don't pay you for a cuddler.
00:22:42The real secret is...
00:22:44I fell for someone I wasn't supposed to.
00:22:47I'm taking a shower.
00:22:47I'm taking a shower.
00:22:53Alex.
00:22:54Don't leave.

00:32:42Bath time is couple time, right?
00:32:44Do you think this is funny?
00:32:45Just lighten up.
00:32:47I'm just joking.
00:32:49Am I just a punchline to you?
00:32:51A prop for your campaign?
00:32:53I stuck around because I cared about you.
00:32:56And this is how you treat me?
00:33:06Did I overreact?
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:17Okay, but...
00:33:20What if I actually fell in love with you?
00:33:39I thought that I hated you, but it turns out I just hated how much I wanted you.
00:33:50Let the games begin, boyfriend.
00:33:55No one's watching us.
00:33:57You can drop the act now.
00:34:01At first, I just wanted the rumors to stop.
00:34:05And signing that contract felt like my only choice.
00:34:14Unless we make it real.
00:34:19And then when everything fell apart, when I was losing the election...
00:34:27You stepped in.
00:34:31You saved me.
00:34:34And you didn't have to.
00:34:43When I saw him that close to you, it hurt more than losing the election ever could.
00:34:58So...
00:34:59Would you consider making this real with me?
00:35:12Forget what I said earlier.
00:35:13I just...
00:35:22Are you sure?
00:35:24Are you sure?
00:35:39You're driving me crazy.
00:35:42Just stop pretending like it isn't happening.
00:36:45You know that's a serious crime, right?
00:36:47Guess you'll have to arrest me, officer.
00:36:54You are way too addictive.
00:36:58I might need rehab.
00:37:00Sorry, no can do.
00:37:03You've got a campaign to salvage, interviews lined up, and you're currently wearing exactly
00:37:10zero clothes.
00:37:16Sounds like you prefer me fully dressed.
00:37:20Disappointing.
00:37:21I prefer you elected, actually.
00:37:38Dude, your poll numbers shot up after that speech.
00:37:41Look at this.
00:37:42You're like a senior year Tom Holland.
00:37:45Charismatic, relatable, and still sexy enough for thirst edits.
00:37:49So, you're saying my chances are good again?
00:37:51Dude, you're literally back to number one.
00:37:53Look at this.
00:37:55I mean, all positive comments, too.
00:37:57But seriously, how did you pull this off?
00:38:00Xavier was against this whole thing from the start.
00:38:02Now he's editing your speeches, organizing your life.
00:38:06Maybe it's because we're actually together now.
00:38:09Right.
00:38:09I was gonna say he's acting more like your mom, but yeah.
00:38:13Whatever works.
00:38:15Man, what kind of witchcraft did you have to pull to get Sheldon Cooper to fake date you?
00:38:24I didn't use anything.
00:38:26I literally just fell for him.
00:38:35I caught feelings for him.
00:38:37That's all it is.
00:38:38Wow.
00:38:39So, you and him started fake, and then it got real.
00:38:46Dude, he's Xavier Miller.
00:38:48He's like an AI bot with a built-in firewall.
00:38:51Totally unreadable.
00:38:52Nah, it's just surface code.
00:38:54He's gotta dig a little deeper.
00:38:58Listen, man.
00:38:59All I'm saying is it makes a lot more sense for him to be using you for something here.
00:39:05And using me for what exactly?
00:39:08Don't forget.
00:39:09He was your biggest competition.
00:39:12Okay, what if this is a long con, and he's gonna flip on you at the end?
00:39:15Look, nobody's that good at faking it.
00:39:18I trust him.
00:39:27Hey, babe.
00:39:28We were just talking about you.
00:39:36Oh, God.
00:39:37It's actually real.
00:39:39Oh, God.
00:39:48You're welcome.
00:39:51Oh my God.
00:39:59OK.
00:39:59I plan it ahead. Figuring things out for myself.
00:40:06Well, the only thing we have to figure out right now is how to get some sleep.
00:40:24Seriously, can you ever just sleep like a normal person?
00:40:27Normal's boring.
00:40:29Now I'm one of a kind.
00:40:32You're crushing me. Move.
00:40:34Make me.
00:40:37Hey, stop.
00:40:41Stop.
00:40:44Fine.
00:40:56Hey, I just wrapped up a practice. Thought I could swing by and pick you up. Could ride home together.
00:41:01Swing by? You're half the city away.
00:41:05Okay, fine. You got me. Maybe I miss you. And also I'm starving and only your pasta's gonna hit the
00:41:12spot.
00:41:13I'm actually tempted to clock out right now.
00:41:17Oh, customer. See you tonight?
00:41:23Welcome. What can I get ya?
00:41:25Black coffee, no sugar, and a little bit of you.
00:41:30What are you doing here?
00:41:31I just had some business, but I couldn't help but drop in.
00:41:36Black coffee, no sugar coming up.
00:41:42Oh, and by the way, did you hear the news? Alex is planning on dumping your ass.
00:41:47Excuse me?
00:41:49Daddy's had it all arranged. Alex's fiance flies in next week.
00:41:52Apparently he needs you out of the picture.
00:42:02Enjoy.
00:42:09Call me anytime, sexy.
00:42:24Just who we needed right now.
00:42:29Hey, I just saw Noah leaving. Is he bothering you again?
00:42:34Same old. Just stirring the pot.
00:42:36Though he did mention your fiance's flying in next week.
00:42:40Oh.
00:42:42So it's true.
00:42:44I was gonna tell you once things were sorted, but I just didn't want to stress you out, you know?
00:42:49Oh, cool. So I'm just some fragile thing you need to protect?
00:42:53No, I barely even know her.
00:42:55She's just some random girl my dad set me up with.
00:42:57Then why hide it? What's the point?
00:43:05I was scared.
00:43:07I'm losing you.
00:43:12Let's get out of here.
00:43:14So we're okay?
00:43:15No.
00:43:17But we still have roles to play.
00:43:22And right now, I need to get my boyfriend costume.
00:43:29You park the car. I'll go in first.
00:43:31Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:43:33Where's my goodbye kiss?
00:43:45I have an appointment. A friend booked it for me.
00:43:49Appointments have to be confirmed by the client directly.
00:43:52And no offense, but you don't exactly fit our typical clientele.
00:44:01So judgy.
00:44:03Eesh.
00:44:04Miss Brown, delightful to see you today. How can I help you?
00:44:08You're Alex's friend, right?
00:44:10Yeah.
00:44:15Serve him.
00:44:16But he doesn't over-
00:44:17Do you want to lose your job?
00:44:19I'm sorry, sir.
00:44:20Laura.
00:44:22Thanks.
00:44:23You wouldn't happen to be a friend of Alex's too?
00:44:33He wouldn't be thanking me if he knew.
00:44:35I was Alex's fiancee.
00:44:38Something like that.
00:44:40I'm Laura.
00:44:41I'll see you.
00:44:54Mr. Watson, pleasure to see you. Can I interest you in our latest collection?
00:44:58Well, actually I'm shopping for my boyfriend here.
00:45:02Do you really have to announce it to everyone?
00:45:04I can tweet it out if you'd like.
00:45:09Absolutely delighted to assist you both today.
00:45:11This way, please.
00:45:15Now, the first step to looking like you have your shit together?
00:45:20A suit that actually fits.
00:45:23And this one, it fits you perfectly.
00:45:27Go on. Try it on.
00:45:30Why do I need a suit when you're the one running for student body president?
00:45:34You see, we both are.
00:45:43Mm-mm-mm.
00:45:45Savile row cut.
00:45:48Flies.
00:45:50And now, the perfect pair of kicks to tie it all together.
00:46:08You don't have to do this, but I want to.
00:46:13Because you're worth it.
00:46:15When your love is shining.
00:46:19Alright.
00:46:20Looking good.
00:46:22Does need a touch more tailoring though.
00:46:30Alright, let's get this jacket off.
00:46:32Hey, wait. What are you doing?
00:46:34Relax.
00:46:35Okay, I'm not gonna bite.
00:46:37Unless you want me to.
00:46:40I'm just measuring.
00:46:44Okay.
00:46:56Wow.
00:46:5828 inch waist, huh?
00:47:00Looks like someone needs some carbs in their life.
00:47:04Hey.
00:47:07I'm still mad at you.
00:47:10Maybe I'll just have to kiss you until you forgive me.
00:47:18Mr. Watson.
00:47:20Your suit. It's ready.
00:47:23Yeah, just, uh, leave it outside.
00:47:31Wait.
00:47:32Don't we clean up nice, huh?
00:47:38Smile.
00:48:04Hey, Mark. What's up?
00:48:06Emergency! Get to the school right now! Things just blew up!
00:48:16Finally! Come here!
00:48:20Did someone leak the contract again or something?
00:48:22No. Worse.
00:48:24We have a new opponent and she's rising fast.
00:48:27We have to do something.
00:48:29Wait, wait, wait. She?
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:31Laura Brown. You know.
00:48:34The daughter of crime family billionaire Walter Brown.
00:48:38Laura.
00:48:41You know Laura too?
00:48:42At the tailor shop. She acted like she near you.
00:48:45She does.
00:48:47She's my fiancé.
00:48:50Fiancé?
00:48:51When the hell were you gonna tell us about that?
00:48:53Look, it was just an arranged thing from my dad.
00:48:56I honestly barely know her.
00:49:00Okay, well she knows plenty about you two.
00:49:02She's charming the hell out of everyone.
00:49:05Your numbers are dropping. Fast.
00:49:08I mean, this can't just be a coincidence.
00:49:10Exactly.
00:49:12She's here for a reason and it's not to win some election.
00:49:17This just became personal.
00:49:22If people find out about this engagement, it's game over.
00:49:26She'll win by a mile.
00:49:27Unless we find a crack in her game.
00:49:29There's no time.
00:49:31I can handle her.
00:49:35Sounds exciting.
00:49:39Why are you doing this?
00:49:41Maybe it's because you have a secret boyfriend?
00:49:44As far as I'm concerned, our parents set us up on one date.
00:49:48Nothing more.
00:49:49You sure you don't want to give me another shot?
00:49:51I'm way more interesting than him.
00:49:53If you want a fair fight, then fine.
00:49:57But play dirty again.
00:49:59And I won't be so polite.
00:50:04Big words.
00:50:05We'll see how long that confidence lasts.
00:50:13Get out.
00:50:14You're not welcome here.
00:50:16Relax.
00:50:17I'm just here to chat.
00:50:18You said you want to get into Princeton, right?
00:50:20Lifelong dream?
00:50:21Well, this is signed by the Vice President.
00:50:24Guaranteed entry.
00:50:27Are you bribing me?
00:50:29I figured you'd say that.
00:50:31But my father doesn't take no well.
00:50:33And your dad, poor John, he owes a lot of people money.
00:50:38People who don't take kindly to being ignored.
00:50:41Keep my father out of this.
00:50:43Then don't force me to call in favors.
00:50:46Relax.
00:50:46I'm not stealing your boyfriend.
00:50:48I'm just...
00:50:49Showing you a better future.
00:50:51Love is overrated anyway.
00:50:54Maybe to you.
00:50:56And for Alex, too.
00:50:57Oh, has he wished you a happy birthday yet?
00:51:08You need a ride?
00:51:09I'll just cost you a water bottle out the trunk.
00:51:12He doesn't even know it's my birthday.
00:51:14Fine.
00:51:27Happy birthday, babe.
00:51:34You can finally type the letter M without your laptop imploding.
00:51:39Thank you, Alex.
00:51:43Now hop in.
00:51:45There's something else I want to show you.
00:51:57This is nice.
00:52:01Yes, it is.
00:52:04And I know you're not too big on surprises, but...
00:52:07I just couldn't resist.
00:52:10I don't mind them.
00:52:12If they're from you.
00:52:14And listen, I'm not really a romantic.
00:52:18You know, I'm not going to be outside your window with a violin and flowers or writing you poetry.
00:52:24You bought me a laptop.
00:52:25Pretty romantic.
00:52:27And practical.
00:52:28Okay, look, the point is...
00:52:31Whatever this is.
00:52:33I mean...
00:52:34Us.
00:52:35All in.
00:52:37For real.
00:52:39I don't need violin serenades or poetry.
00:52:44I just need you.
00:52:57Well, you got me.
00:53:16Let's go back to yours.
00:53:18Let's go.
00:53:27What would you do if I got up and left right now?
00:53:29I'd probably cry like an idiot.
00:53:32Don't even think about it.
00:53:50You know that thing was supposed to help you ace exams.
00:53:53Not interrupt morning cuddles.
00:53:55I tracked the truth under account that leaked our contract.
00:53:58Someone local.
00:54:00Then it must be someone at school, right?
00:54:04Did you find anything else?
00:54:06They accidentally switched their webcam on.
00:54:10Laura.
00:54:10Laura.
00:54:16She's breaking all sorts of privacy laws.
00:54:19We should expose her.
00:54:20But if we do that, then she'll twist it.
00:54:21Make us look like bullies.
00:54:23What else can we do?
00:54:24If people find out about our engagement, then they're going to take her side.
00:54:27I mean, it is true.
00:54:28I'm engaged.
00:54:30Then what?
00:54:32I might have something.
00:54:33Why don't we try making some viral couples TikToks?
00:54:37You know, wholesome stuff.
00:54:38Charity angle.
00:54:40Tends to work.
00:54:43Fine.
00:54:44Let's do it.
00:54:56You did that on purpose.
00:54:58You bet I did.
00:55:16Cut.
00:55:17That's perfect.
00:55:21Next up, book donations for underprivileged kids.
00:55:24I'm here with viral campus couple Xavier Miller and Alex Watson.
00:55:29Welcome.
00:55:30Hey, everyone.
00:55:30Happy to be here.
00:55:32Let's see, first question blowing up the chat.
00:55:34What made you guys pick this project?
00:55:36Growing up, books were my only escape.
00:55:39Reading helped me get through some tough times.
00:55:41It's important for me to pass that on.
00:55:43Yeah.
00:55:43It's like the one thing we never fight about either.
00:55:46Hey.
00:55:47I'm Alex's friend.
00:55:50Quick question from the comments.
00:55:52Since you both are queer, thoughts on gay guys marrying girls?
00:55:55Is it just doing what you gotta do or is there more to it?
00:56:04Guys, if someone has a secret boyfriend and a fiance at the same time, who's the real side piece?
00:56:12Uh, that's a good question.
00:56:15You know, maybe there's more to that than people think.
00:56:22What's worse?
00:56:23Someone keeping secrets or someone leaking it anonymously?
00:56:27Touché.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:29All right, guys.
00:56:30Back on track.
00:56:31Um, Xavier, did you have a favorite book as a kid?
00:56:35Ta-ta.
00:56:36Uh, The Hobbit.
00:56:37I always wanted my own little cozy Hobbit hole.
00:56:42What the hell is wrong with you?
00:56:46Are you trying to ruin my-
00:56:57Are you out of your mind?
00:57:00I'm your fiance.
00:57:01It's just one little kiss.
00:57:02What's the big deal?
00:57:03Oh, come on, Laura.
00:57:04You and I both know that engagement would never happen.
00:57:08Using a fake relationship just to win votes?
00:57:10That's pathetic, even for you.
00:57:12Xavier and I don't need your approval.
00:57:14If you threaten him one more time behind my back, it won't end well.
00:57:19Oh, you found out?
00:57:20Good.
00:57:21Maybe you'll keep a better eye on him the next time.
00:57:23Things might get uglier.
00:57:24What do you want from me?
00:57:29Everything I'm entitled to.
00:57:35Xavier, get to the shop right now.
00:57:40Why? What's wrong?
00:57:45Fuck my life, man.
00:57:52Hey!
00:57:53What are you looking at?
00:57:54Get out of here.
00:57:56You gotta go, man.
00:57:58No, I don't.
00:57:59No, you have to leave.
00:58:00Oh, my son.
00:58:01Oh, my son, man.
00:58:03He's threatening to shatter all the windows if you didn't show.
00:58:06He's threatening all the customers away.
00:58:07I'm so sorry. I can handle it if you just-
00:58:09Man, I can't keep dealing with this.
00:58:12Next time this happens, you're fired.
00:58:17What do you want?
00:58:18Call your rich boyfriend.
00:58:21What's his name?
00:58:22Alex?
00:58:23Tell him to pay up.
00:58:26Daddy needs a bailout.
00:58:28You sold the house Mom left us.
00:58:30You abandoned me, and now you want a bailout?
00:58:34You filthy little bastard.
00:58:36Sleeping around with men, humiliating our family name.
00:58:43I should have sold you off when I had the chance.
00:58:47Next time I see you, I'll make sure the syndicate knows exactly where you are.
00:58:56Ungrateful brat.
00:58:58Think you're above me now just cause you got yourself a rich boyfriend?
00:59:03No!
00:59:05Finally found you, old man.
00:59:11Finally found you, old man.
00:59:13Please, don't hurt me. Just don't hurt me.
00:59:16I'll get the money. Don't hurt me.
00:59:18Oh, it's a little too late for that.
00:59:23Where'd you go after the livestream?
00:59:24I tried calling you like a million times.
00:59:27Just the library.
00:59:28The library?
00:59:29After what happened?
00:59:30Just collecting some feedback around school.
00:59:33Got some ideas to boost your polls.
00:59:35Can we not talk about the election right now?
00:59:38I'm just tired, okay?
00:59:44So that's it?
00:59:46You're just giving up?
00:59:47Letting your fiancé take over?
00:59:49What, are you jealous or something?
00:59:51Is there something going on with Laura I should know about?
00:59:53But can we please just not talk about this right now?
00:59:56Maybe we should take a break.
01:00:00Xavier, wait!
01:00:01Xavier, wait! I-
01:00:12I'm such an idiot.
01:00:13Thinking I actually meant something to him.
01:00:21Oh, Jesus.
01:00:24Mark, where's Alex?
01:00:25I've been calling.
01:00:27He's at the frat house.
01:00:28Last minute Vogue grabbing.
01:00:29And he's not answering his messages.
01:00:30Not even mine?
01:00:32Look, it's the day before the election.
01:00:33He's totally locked in, okay?
01:00:36Hey, you alright?
01:00:38Need any help?
01:00:40It's alright. I'll handle it.
01:00:43Of course.
01:00:45He's got people, goals, a life.
01:00:47I've only ever had him.
01:00:53What am I gonna do now?
01:00:57Want to make a deal?
01:01:06Your dad owes money to three different gangs, including mine.
01:01:10Please don't hurt him. I promise I'll figure something out.
01:01:13You can't afford it.
01:01:14Besides if the Hanglino family took him.
01:01:1624 hours a day starts sending body parts.
01:01:19What am I supposed to do?
01:01:27Sign this.
01:01:29And I'll pay off your dad's debt.
01:01:30But on one condition.
01:01:32You have to stop seeing Alex.
01:01:35For good.
01:01:38Where was he when you needed him most?
01:01:41You better keep your word.
01:01:43Browns don't lie.
01:01:49What the hell did you do?
01:01:51Xavier's not answering my calls.
01:01:53Me?
01:01:54I only saved his father's skin and paid off his debt.
01:01:58He should be thanking me.
01:02:00Debt? What debt?
01:02:03Xavier never told me about that.
01:02:05Maybe because he dumped you?
01:02:07He was pretty clear that you're finished.
01:02:09No.
01:02:11No way, no.
01:02:12He wouldn't do that.
01:02:14I need to go talk to him.
01:02:28Why didn't you tell Laura we broke up?
01:02:30Because.
01:02:31It's true.
01:02:33Look, the whole reason I even dated you was for Princeton.
01:02:36Laura sorted that for me.
01:02:38And she bailed my dad out.
01:02:40So our deal?
01:02:41It's done.
01:02:42So you're just going to dumb me for a college recommendation?
01:02:45Without her, my dad would be dead.
01:02:47And you're just holding a contract over my head.
01:02:51Like I'm some stunt to boost your votes.
01:02:53Xavier, stop.
01:02:54The contract never mattered.
01:02:57I love you.
01:02:59Okay, don't push me away.
01:03:02Love?
01:03:03Just a sob story.
01:03:05Up there on your throne, treating me like a charity case.
01:03:09I'm done.
01:03:10You know that's not true.
01:03:13You know me.
01:03:14Do I?
01:03:16You wake up in your silk sheets, drinking your fancy coffee.
01:03:22I don't even know where I'm going to sleep tonight.
01:03:25We're worlds apart.
01:03:27Xavier, please don't do this.
01:03:29Stay away from me.
01:03:30You make me sick.
01:03:37Just get out of my life.
01:03:39We're done.
01:03:40I just-
01:03:41I said!
01:03:42We're done!
01:03:59I'm so sorry, Alex.
01:04:02It's the hardest thing ever.
01:04:05I'm so sorry, Alex.
01:04:12It's the hardest thing ever.
01:04:15You can't do that.
01:04:17You can't do that.
01:04:17Imagine I post a viral TikTok as the heartbroken fiancee betrayed by her closeted boyfriend.
01:04:24Alex won't just lose the election, he'll lose everything.
01:04:28You're twisting the truth.
01:04:30It's whatever people will believe.
01:04:32He's already losing support, and his family backing is next.
01:04:36Do you really want to watch him lose everything?
01:04:41You're dead weight, Xavier.
01:04:42And we both know it.
01:04:45My family can lift him up.
01:04:47They're only driving down.
01:04:50Alex, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:04:53I won't be the reason your life falls apart.
01:04:55So?
01:04:56You get a sign?
01:05:00You better keep your promise.
01:05:03Browns don't lie.
01:05:14Did you forget our agreement?
01:05:24If you want me out of the election, fine.
01:05:27But in return, you cut off Xavier and introduce me as your fiancee.
01:05:34If not, I will email every voter proof that your relationship was fake the entire time.
01:05:43You'll lose everything.
01:05:44Get out.
01:05:50Love her legacy, Alex.
01:06:02Xavier.
01:06:22Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex.
01:06:31Hello.
01:06:32I'm Alex Watson.
01:06:34And today, I stand here as...
01:06:44Oh, my God.
01:06:46Oh, my God.
01:06:47Oh, my God.
01:06:47Oh, my God.
01:06:48Oh, my God.
01:06:49Xavier Miller and I were in a fake relationship.
01:06:53Are we serious?
01:06:54We signed a contract.
01:06:56What a fake.
01:06:57Who am I to all of us?
01:07:03It started as fake, but then it got real.
01:07:10I've never met anyone like Xavier before.
01:07:13You okay?
01:07:19Yeah.
01:07:20I'm fine.
01:07:23Not even a thank you?
01:07:26At least tell me your name.
01:07:29It's not important.
01:07:30I'll do all I meant to do.
01:07:33And I thought he was just some arrogant genius who didn't have time for me.
01:07:42Didn't have time for me.
01:07:44And with this stupid on-stage accident.
01:07:46And I kiss.
01:08:05Xavier, I know you're watching.
01:08:08So listen.
01:08:11Fuck the election, fuck family expectations, and fuck football.
01:08:15None of them matters, Xavier, because all I ever wanted was to be with you.
01:08:24The votes are in.
01:08:26The new student body president is...
01:08:29Alex Watson!
01:08:32Come on up and give your speech.
01:08:39Uh...
01:08:39Where is he?
01:08:43You idiot.
01:08:56What are you doing here?
01:08:58You just won.
01:08:59Ah, screw the election.
01:09:01It's you that I won.
01:09:02But you said winning is everything.
01:09:05Not if it means losing you.
01:09:07Over and over again.
01:09:12Grocery out, hand in hand.
01:09:16Over and over again.
01:09:18You're such a reckless idiot.
01:09:20But that was kinda sweet.
01:09:28Just need you.
01:09:36Winning you beats any election.
01:09:40All right.
01:09:42Now that line is a solid 10.
01:09:50What's with all the construction?
01:09:51They're building something?
01:09:53Close.
01:09:54Private make-out spot.
01:09:57Presidential access only.
01:10:01You're president now.
01:10:02Try acting like him.
01:10:03Hey, I'm just keeping my campaign promises.
01:10:10You remembered.
01:10:12Of course.
01:10:16All right.
01:10:17Let's begin.
01:10:18The football kit budget was inflated 230%.
01:10:22Money that could have paid for students' transport who were working late.
01:10:25That's the first time someone called me out for real.
01:10:28And it stuck.
01:10:29Already testing out the new spot?
01:10:31Bold.
01:10:35Already testing out the new spot?
01:10:37Bold.
01:10:38What now?
01:10:40Relax.
01:10:40Just here to say goodbye.
01:10:42Goodbye?
01:10:43Turns out our dads finally saw reason.
01:10:46Engagement's officially canceled.
01:10:47You're free, Alex.
01:10:49Just like that?
01:10:50Not even worth fighting for?
01:10:52Can you let her finish?
01:10:54Truth is, I didn't want to marry you either.
01:10:57Then why come between us?
01:10:58I just needed to prove myself.
01:11:00To my parents.
01:11:02To everyone.
01:11:05The way you stood by each other.
01:11:08Honestly, I envy that.
01:11:11And the Princeton thing is still on, Xavier.
01:11:14You earned it.
01:11:16Thanks, Laura.
01:11:18I'm off to Paris.
01:11:20New family business venture.
01:11:22Maybe I'll see y'all again sometime.
01:11:24Maybe so.
01:11:25No.
01:11:34You think she'll be okay?
01:11:36She's tougher than the both of us combined.
01:11:39She'll be fine.
01:11:43Still haven't mastered walking, eh?
01:11:46Only around you.
