Fake It Till You Date It is a charming fake dating romance short drama filled with contract relationships, slow-burn chemistry, misunderstandings, and second chances. Two strangers agree to pretend they're a couple to escape family pressure and awkward social expectations. What starts as a carefully planned arrangement soon spirals into genuine feelings as they navigate jealous rivals, unexpected challenges, and the blurred line between acting and reality.
As their fake romance begins to feel real, they must decide whether to keep pretending or risk everything for true love.
I couldn't verify an official production page or confirmed synopsis for a vertical short drama released under the exact title Fake It Till You Date It. Current web searches primarily return the unrelated Chinese drama Fake It Till You Make It and other similarly titled works, rather than an official listing for this specific series. The description above is therefore based on the promotional title and common fake-dating romance themes, not a verified storyline.

00:00:06Is that Alex? Dang. No wonder he's 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 a 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?
00:00:37Never heard of him.
00:00:37I told you, don't come home without the cash.
00:00:44Hey, this is St. Mountain High, not a freaking pub.
00:00:51Fine, but you won't outrun this.
00:00:55You okay?
00:01:02Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:06Not even a thank you?

00:01:12I'll never look away.
00:01:17And that is Xavier Miller.
00:01:21Alright, Xavier.
00:01:23I'll see you at the debate.
00:01:31Alright, let's begin.
00:01:32The football kit budget was inflated two hundred and thirty percent.
00:01:37Money that could have paid for students transport who were working late.
00:01:44Are you accusing my father of corruption?
00:01:46Just stating the facts?
00:01:48Uh, we're gonna take a quick five minute recess.
00:01:54Here's another fact, genius.
00:01:56That 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?

00:13:15i couldn't stand you at first
00:13:18typical quarterback
00:13:19arrogant
00:13:20fully yourself
00:13:22but then i saw you after practice
00:13:25pushing yourself harder than everyone else
00:13:27and i noticed how you always take the fall for your teammates
00:13:30and the way you'd look at me
00:13:32in class
00:13:33Xavier
00:13:34do you honestly think i've been faking this whole time?
00:13:52the hacker broke into your laptop
00:13:54the whole school is watching his feed right now
00:14:10Holy shit!
00:14:17I can fake confidence during debates,
00:14:20smile through press conferences,
00:14:22even pretend I care about school traditions I don't even like.
00:14:24Like, there's no way I could fake this.
00:14:28And yeah, maybe it started as a deal,
00:14:30but now,
00:14:34everything 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.
00:15:02But seeing you hurt was 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.
00:15:19Right?
00:15:21You sure that's all it is?
00:15:24You sure there's no hidden feelings creeping up?
00:15:27God, you never stop.
00:15:29Do you?
00:15:30Dead end on the hacker.
00:15:31Whoever it was was bouncing off multiple VPNs.
00:15:36Great.
00:15:37It's like you're dealing with a pro.
00:15:39Listen, everybody is going to be watching your every move.
00:15:43Okay?
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.
00:16:02Want to come with?
00:16:04Sure.
00:16:05Because 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.
00:16:27This is your average family home?
00:16:29It's my father's place.
00:16:30Not mine.
00:16:31Meaning?
00:16:33Meaning I have an older half-brother
00:16:35and a dad who's super big on competition.
00:16:38So...
00:16:38If I want any part of this family fortune,
00:16:42then...
00:16:42I have to beat him.
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.
00:17:08All right, well...
00:17:09I need to go grab my jersey, but...
00:17:11Why don't you read a book or something?
00:17:13Come on.
00:17:23Well, well.
00:17:25I didn't expect to see you here.
00:17:28Sorry.
00:17:29Do I know you?
00:17:32You must be Xavier.
00:17:35The famous boyfriend.
00:17:38And you are?
00:17:39I'm Noah.
00:17:40Alex's older brother.
00:17:48I have one.
00:17:50I'm sorry.
00:17:52I'm sorry.
00:17:55I'm sorry.
00:17:57I'm sorry.
00:17:59This whole fake boyfriend thing. He'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.
00:18:13You 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.
00:18:24Let's not pretend that you're straight too 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.
00:19:20It's okay.
00:19:25Look, 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.
00:19:39You 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.
00:19:58Why don't you just stay here?
00:20:00The guest room's open.
00:20:01I 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.
00:20:19You'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.
00:20:41You know I always dreamt of going pro in the NFL.
00:20:46I'm not surprised.
00:20:48You're football crazy.
00:20:50Yeah.
00:20:51I 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.
00:21:12Got straight A's.
00:21:14Student body president.
00:21:17Anything in hopes that he let me play football again.
00:21:24Now your turn.
00:21:27Secret for secret.
00:21:28You've already seen enough.
00:21:30My father's a gambler.
00:21:32Family'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 you're just too scared to say it out loud.
00:21:50Tell me.
00:21:51It'll be our secret.
00:21:53We've run in circles, through my mind.
00:22:05I want to be the only one you tell.
00:22:08Let's not pretend that you're straight to your house, sweetheart.
00:22:10You're wasted.
00:22:12Sleep it off.
00:22:14I'm taking a shower.
00:22:25I didn't peg you for a cuddler.
00:22:34Alex doesn't date guys.
00:22:37You'll only get yourself hurt.
00:22:42The real secret is I fell for someone I wasn't supposed to.
00:22:53Alex, don't leave.
00:22:55You really shouldn't.
00:22:57Stay.
00:23:01Please.
00:23:15I know your little secret.
00:23:20What secret?
00:23:21It's about me, isn't it?
00:23:37Alex, tell me everything.
00:23:53It was just a dream.
00:24:02It was just a dream.
00:24:03Don't go.
00:24:04Alex, let go.
00:24:06Stay.
00:24:22Alex?
00:24:24Alex, I will.
00:24:25I will.
00:24:29I will.
00:24:37Since when did you become Mr. Homemaker?
00:24:40I'd impress you somehow, right?
00:24:42And what better way to do that than a nice breakfast?
00:25:09So check it out. Chef Alex's world-famous grilled cheese. Michelin star pending.
00:25:16Did it survive a crime scene?
00:25:18Hey, hey, hey, I'll have you know that I ate sandwich making at summer camp, okay?
00:25:30Okay, fine. Tastes a lot better than it looks.
00:25:33There we go. Am I boyfriend material or what?
00:25:47Alex doesn't date guys.
00:25:49You okay?
00:25:50Drop the act, Alex. There's no one even around to impress.
00:25:55What's that supposed to mean?
00:26:00Forget it. I'm heading to the library.
00:26:05Xavier, wait, you barely touched your grilled cheese!
00:26:14Come...
00:26:15Damn it!
00:26:26You're John's kid, right? Your dad owes me a lot of money.
00:26:32He sold the house. The debt should be cleared.
00:26:35But he didn't pay me a single cent!
00:26:38Shit! How deep is this old bastard anyway?
00:26:41You're his kid. So either you settled his debt, or I start taking pieces.
00:26:47It's between you and him. Please, just leave me out of it.
00:26:56Nah. You're definitely involved in it now.
00:27:13Nah. You're definitely involved in it now.
00:27:16Oh!
00:27:18Back off, asshole.
00:27:21Who the fuck?
00:27:39You touch him again, you're dead.
00:27:42You touch him again, you're dead.
00:27:58You're dead.
00:28:02You okay?
00:28:03No. Are you?
00:28:06Look at your face.
00:28:10You idiot! Why would you do that?
00:28:12Alright, maybe I went a little bit overboard.
00:28:18We need to go to the hospital.
00:28:24You've got an old injury, and now you've seriously torn the ligaments.
00:28:28You're out for the rest of the season.
00:28:30If you push it, you might never step on the field again.
00:28:38I've ruined your entire future.
00:28:40Your entire dream.
00:28:43I hope all is my dream.
00:28:46You're what I really want.
00:28:48You are insane.
00:28:52Well, since this is technically your fault, you definitely owe me.
00:28:57And what exactly do you want?
00:29:00Move in with me.
00:29:01Be my personal nurse.
00:29:08Fine.
00:29:09I guess it's the least I can do.
00:29:15Now feed me.
00:29:17Absolutely not.
00:29:23Alright.
00:29:25Just one bite.
00:29:28And here begins your life as my caretaker.
00:29:47Ah!
00:29:48You bite now?
00:29:50You started it.
00:29:52Maybe I'll have to finish it.
00:29:54Won't I?
00:29:57Ahem.
00:29:59Remember?
00:30:00No strenuous activity.
00:30:02Especially involving your arm.
00:30:04Well, what if Xavier's on top?
00:30:09Kids these days.
00:30:11You are impossible.
00:30:14It's a love story, babe.
00:30:16I'm just staying in character.
00:30:21Fine.
00:30:22If that's what it takes.
00:30:25Welcome home, babe.
00:30:31Ow!
00:30:33Look, I have one arm.
00:30:34The floors are all wet.
00:30:36This is a potential drowning hazard.
00:30:38Can I get a little help?
00:30:39Nice try.
00:30:41You'll manage.
00:30:49Xavier, help!
00:30:51I slipped!
00:30:54You are unbelievable.
00:30:57Unbelievably sexy, maybe.
00:31:09Stop it.
00:31:10Put your clothes on.
00:31:12Are you blushing?
00:31:14I am not.
00:31:15Hmm, sure.
00:31:22Hold this.
00:31:24Now hold that.
00:31:25And if it drops, then...
00:31:27that must mean you want me.
00:31:29You're insane.
00:31:31Maybe.
00:31:42You can start here.
00:31:47Whoa!
00:31:49Careful.
00:31:51My skin's more sensitive than my reputation.
00:31:57Shut up.
00:32:10Not you!
00:32:15What?
00:32:27I mean,
00:32:28I'm probably not going to get out.
00:32:28I want to get out of here, but I'm anyway.
00:32:32I'm getting out of here.
00:32:33I have to go.
00:32:33I don't know.
00:32:34It's really hard.
00:32:37I think it's really hard.
00:32:42bath time is couple time right do you think this is funny just lighten up i'm just joking
00:32:49am i just a punchline to you and a prop for your campaign i stuck around because i cared
00:32:55about and this is how you treat me did i overreact sorry okay but what if i actually fell in

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
00:33:52we're a friend no one's watching us you can drop the act
00:33:58at first i just wanted the rumors to stop and signing that contract felt like my only choice
00:34:14unless we make it real
00:34:19and then when everything fell apart i was losing the election
00:34:27you stepped in
00:34:31you saved me and you didn't have to
00:34:37get off
00:34:39what the fuck are you doing
00:34:44when i saw him that close to you
00:34:48it hurt more than losing the election ever could
00:34:57so
00:34:59would you consider making this real with me
00:35:12forget what i said earlier i just
00:35:23are you sure
00:35:39you're driving me crazy
00:35:41stop pretending like it isn't happening
00:35:44don't you know
00:35:50i think i was going to play
00:36:38Good morning, sleeping baby.
00:36:41Did I catch you stealing kisses again?
00:36:44You 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,
00:37:07and you're currently wearing exactly zero clothes.
00:37:15Sounds like you prefer me fully dressed.
00:37:19It's disappointing.
00:37:20I prefer you elected, actually.
00:37:37Dude, 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.
00:37:48So, 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, I was going to say he's acting more like your mom,
00:38:11but yeah, whatever works.
00:38:15Man, what kind of witchcraft did you have to pull
00:38:18to get Sheldon Cooper to big 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, so you and him started fake,
00:38:43and then it got real.
00:38:46Dude, he's Xavier Miller.
00:38:48He's like an AI bot with built-in firewall.
00:38:51Totally unreadable.
00:38:52It's just surface code.
00:38:54He's got to dig a little deeper.
00:38:58Listen, man, all I'm saying
00:38:59is it makes a lot more sense
00:39:01for 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,
00:39:13and he's going to flip on you at the end?
00:39:15Look, nobody's that good at faking it.
00:39:18I trust him.
00:39:19With every line
00:39:20writes itself on our skin
00:39:24I can carry away
00:39:27Oh, hey, babe.
00:39:28We were just talking about you.
00:39:35Oh, God.
00:39:37Is it actually real?
00:39:49Are you job hunting?
00:39:51Say, if I said you didn't have to pay me back,
00:39:53I thought I made that clear.
00:39:55I know you don't have to think about this kind of stuff,
00:39:57but I do.
00:39:59I'm just planning ahead,
00:40:00figuring things out for myself.
00:40:04Well,
00:40:06the only thing we have to figure out right now
00:40:09is how to get some sleep.
00:40:24Seriously,
00:40:25can you ever just sleep like a normal person?
00:40:27Normal's boring.
00:40:29Not one of a kind.
00:40:30You're crushing me.
00:40:34Make me.
00:40:37Hey, stop.
00:40:42Stop.
00:40:42Stop.
00:40:44Stop.
00:40:45Stop.
00:40:56Hey, I just wrapped up a practice.
00:40:58Thought I could swing by and pick you up.
00:41:00Could ride home together.
00:41:01Swing by.
00:41:03You're half the city away.
00:41:06Okay, fine.
00:41:06You got me.
00:41:07Maybe I miss you.
00:41:09And also,
00:41:10I'm starving,
00:41:10and only your pasta's gonna hit the spot.
00:41:13I'm actually tempted to clock out right now.
00:41:18Oh,
00:41:18customer.
00:41:20See you tonight?
00:41:23Welcome.
00:41:24What can I get you?
00:41:24Black coffee,
00:41:26no sugar,
00:41:26and a little bit of you.
00:41:30What are you doing here?
00:41:31I just had some business,
00:41:32but I couldn't help but drop in.
00:41:36Black coffee,
00:41:37no sugar coming up.
00:41:42Oh,
00:41:43and by the way,
00:41:44did you hear the news?
00:41:45Alex is planning on dumping your ass.
00:41:47Excuse me?
00:41:49Daddy's had it all arranged.
00:41:51Alex's fiance flies in next week,
00:41:53and apparently he needs you out of the picture.
00:42:02Enjoy.
00:42:09Call me anytime, sexy.
00:42:24Just who we need it right now.
00:42:29Hey,
00:42:30I just saw Noah leaving.
00:42:32Is he bothering you again?
00:42:34Same old.
00:42:34Just stirring the pot.
00:42:36Though he did mention your fiance is flying in next week.
00:42:40Oh.
00:42:42So it's true.
00:42:45I was gonna tell you
00:42:46once things were sorted,
00:42:47but I just didn't want to stress you out,
00:42:49you know?
00:42:49Oh, cool.
00:42:50So I'm just some
00:42:51fragile thing you need to protect?
00:42:53No, I barely even know her.
00:42:55She's just some random girl
00:42:56my dad set me up with.
00:42:57Then why hide it?
00:42:59What's the point?
00:43:04I 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,
00:43:24I need to get my boyfriend costume.
00:43:29You park the car.
00:43:30I'll go in first.
00:43:31Whoa, wait, wait, wait.
00:43:33Where's my goodbye kiss?
00:43:45I have an appointment.
00:43:47A friend booked it for me.
00:43:49Appointments have to be confirmed
00:43:50by the client directly.
00:43:51And no offense,
00:43:53but you don't exactly fit
00:43:55our typical clientele.
00:44:01So judgy.
00:44:02Ish.
00:44:04Ms. Brown,
00:44:05delightful to see you today.
00:44:07How 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 have a-
00:44:17Do you want to lose your job?
00:44:19Sorry, sir.
00:44:22Thanks.
00:44:23You wouldn't happen to be
00:44:24a friend of Alex's too?
00:44:33You wouldn't be thanking me if he knew.
00:44:35I was Alex's fiancé.
00:44:38Something like that.
00:44:40I'm Laura.
00:44:41I'll see you.
00:44:54Mr. Watson.
00:44:55Pleasure to see you.
00:44:56Can 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 who you need?
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.
00:45:16Now, 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.
00:45:28Try it on.
00:45:29Why do I need a suit?
00:45:31I mean, you're the one running for student body president.
00:45:33Well, you see, we both are.
00:45:45Savile row cut.
00:45:48Loss.
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.
00:46:18All right.
00:46:20Looking good.
00:46:22Does need a touch more tailoring, though.
00:46:30All right, let's get this jacket off.
00:46:32Wait, wait, what are you doing?
00:46:34Relax.
00:46:35Okay, I'm not going to bite.
00:46:37Unless you want me to.
00:46:40I'm just measuring.
00:46:56Wow.
00:46:5828-inch waist, huh?
00:47:00Looks like someone needs some carbs in their life.
00:47:05Hey.
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.
00:47:21It's ready.
00:47:23Yeah, just, uh, leave it outside.
00:47:31Hey.
00:47:32Don't we clean up nice, huh?
00:47:38Smile.
00:48:03Hey, Mark.
00:48:05What's up?
00:48:06Emergency.
00:48:06Get to the school right now.
00:48:08Things just blew up.
00:48:16Finally, come here.
00:48:20Did someone leak the contract again or something?
00:48:21No, worse.
00:48:24We have a new opponent, and she's rising fast.
00:48:27We have to do something.
00:48:28Wait, wait, wait.
00:48:30She?
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:31Laura Brown.
00:48:33You know, the daughter of crime family billionaire Walter Brown.
00:48:38Laura.
00:48:38Laura?
00:48:41You know Laura, too?
00:48:43At the tailor shop.
00:48:44She acted like she knew you.
00:48:45She does.
00:48:47She's my fiancée.
00:48:51Fiancée?
00:48:51When the hell were you going to 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.
00:49:06Fast.
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, and 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.
00:50:42Then don't force me to call in favors.
00:50:46Relax.
00:50:46I'm not stealing your boyfriend.
00:50:48I'm just showing you a better future.
00:50:51Love is overrated anyway.
00:50:54Maybe to you.
00:50:56And for Alex, too.
00:50:58Oh, has he wished you a happy birthday yet?
00:51:08Need a ride?
00:51:09Just 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 I 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, whatever this is, I mean, us, all in, for real.
00:52:39I don't need violins, 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, not interrupt morning cuddles.
00:53:55I tracked the truth in her account that leaked our contract.
00:53:58Someone local.
00:54:01Then it must be someone at school, right?
00:54:04Did you find anything else?
00:54:07They accidentally switched their webcam on.
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 and make 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, I'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, charity angle.
00:54:40Tends to work.
00:54:43Fine.
00:54:43Let's do it.
00:54:56You did that on purpose.
00:54:58You bet I did.
00:55:00You did that on purpose.
00:55:16Cut.
00:55:17Cut.
00:55:18That'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.
00:55:33First 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.
00:55:47Hey, I'm Alex's friend.
00:55:50Quick question from the comments.
00:55:52Since you both are queer, thoughts on gay guys marrying girls?
00:55:56Is it just doing what you got to do or is there more to it?
00:56:04Guys, if someone has a secret boyfriend and a fiance at the same time,
00:56:09who's the real side piece?
00:56:12That'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.
00:56:35Uh, The Hobbit.
00:56:37I always wanted my own little cozy hobbit hole.
00:56:41What 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.
00:57:05You and I both know that engagement would never happen.
00:57:07Using 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.
00:57:14And if you threaten him one more time behind my back, it won't end well.
00:57:18Oh, you found out?
00:57:20Good.
00:57:21Maybe I'll keep a better eye on him then 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?
00:57:41What's wrong?
00:57:45Fuck my life, man.
00:57:53What are you looking at?
00:57:54Get out of here.
00:57:56You got to 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.
00:58:02Man, he's going to shatter all the windows if you didn't show.
00:58:06Threaten all the customers away.
00:58:07I'm so sorry.
00:58:08I can handle it if you just...
00:58:10I 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.
00:58:32And now you want a bailout?
00:58:34You filthy little bastard.
00:58:36Sleeping around with men.
00:58:40Humiliating our family name.
00:58:43I should have sold you off when I had the chance.
00:58:47Next time I see you,
00:58:49I'll make sure the syndicate knows exactly where you are.
00:58:56Ungrateful brat.
00:58:58Think you're above me now just because you got yourself a rich boyfriend?
00:59:03Oh, man.
00:59:05Finally found you, old man.
00:59:11Finally found you, old man.
00:59:14Please, don't hurt me.
00:59:15Just don't hurt me.
00:59:16I'll get the money.
00:59:17Don't hurt me.
00:59:18Oh, it's a little too late for that.
00:59:23Where'd you go after the live stream?
00:59:25I tried calling you like a million times.
00:59:27Just to the library.
00:59:28The library?
00:59:29After what happened?
00:59:30I was just 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?
00:59:41Okay.
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?
00:59:53Can we please just not talk about this right now?
00:59:56Maybe we should take a break.
01:00:00Xavier, wait!
01:00:12Oh, I'm such an idiot.
01:00:13Thinking I actually meant something to him.
01:00:22Oh, Jesus.
01:00:24Mark, where's Alex?
01:00:26I've been called.
01:00:27He's at the frat house, last minute Vogue grabbing.
01:00:29And he's not answering his messages.
01:00:30Not even mine?
01:00:31Look, 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.
01:00:41I'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?
01:00:57Wanna make a deal?
01:01:06Your dad owes money to three different gangs, including mine.
01:01:10Please don't hurt him.
01:01:10I promise I'll figure something out.
01:01:13You can't afford it.
01:01:14Besides, if the Hanglino family took him.
01:01:1724 hours did they start sending body parts.
01:01:19What am I supposed to do?
01:01:27Sign this, and I'll pay up 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.
01:02:00Wait, debt?
01:02:01What?
01:02:01What debt?
01:02:03Xavier never told me about that.
01:02:05Maybe because he dumped you?
01:02:06He was pretty clear that you're finished.
01:02:09No.
01:02:11No way.
01:02:11No, he 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 it'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 gonna 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.
01:02:54Hey, the contract never mattered.
01:02:57I love you.
01:02:59Hey, don't push me away.
01:03:02Love?
01:03:03Just a sob story to me.
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 gonna 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.
01:03:36Just get out of my life.
01:03:39We're done.
01:03:40I just...
01:03:41I said we're done.
01:03:59I'm so sorry, Alex.
01:04:02That's the hardest thing I've ever done.
01:04:05Sign this.
01:04:07And I'll pay your dad's debt.
01:04:09But in return, you have to cut off Alex for good.
01:04:15Can'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.
01:04:26Alex 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.
01:04:47There's 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, you 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,
01:05:36I will email every voter proof that your relationship was fake the entire time.
01:05:43You'll lose everything.
01:05:46Get out.
01:05:49Love her legacy, Alex.
01:06:02Xavier.
01:06:23Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex.
01:06:31Hello, I'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.
01:06:49Xavier Miller and I were in a fake relationship.
01:06:53Are you serious?
01:06:54We signed a contract.
01:06:56What a fake.
01:06:57Who might to all of us?
01:07:02It started as fake,
01:07:05but then it got real.
01:07:10I've never met anyone like Xavier before.
01:07:13You okay?
01:07:19Yeah, I'm fine.
01:07:23I'm not even a thank you.
01:07:26At least tell me your name.
01:07:29It's not important.
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 a stupid onstage accident,
01:07:46I kissed.
01:08:05Xavier, I know you're watching.
01:08:08So, listen.
01:08:11Fuck the election.
01:08:12Fuck family expectations.
01:08:14And fuck football.
01:08:15None of them matters.
01:08:17Xavier,
01:08:17because all I ever wanted
01:08:18was 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 you a speech.
01:08:38Uh, where is he?
01:08:43You idiot.
01:08:45You're my piece of heaven on earth.
01:08:51Oh, you make it all worth it.
01:08:54You're the reason...
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.
01:09:03But you said winning is everything.
01:09:05Not if it means losing you.
01:09:07You're such a reckless idiot.
01:09:08Over and over again.
01:09:13Grocery out hand in hand.
01:09:15Over and over again.
01:09:18You're such a reckless idiot.
01:09:20But that was kind of 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 building something?
01:09:53Close.
01:09:55Private make-out spot.
01:09:57Residential 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?
01:10:31Fold.
01:10:35Already testing out the new spot?
01:10:37Fold.
01:10:38What now?
01:10:40Relax.
01:10:40Just here to say goodbye.
01:10:42Goodbye?
01:10:43Turns out her dad's 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.
01:10:56Then why come between us?
01:10:58I just needed to prove myself to my parents.
01:11:02To everyone.
01:11:05The way you stood by the way you stood by the way you stood by the way you stood by
01:11:06each other.
01:11:08Honestly, I envied 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.
01:11:34You 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.
01:11:47All I meant to do
01:11:50Is I'm right next to you
01:11:53Is I'm right next to you
