This cufflink...

I gave it to James.

It's one of a kind.

So he couldn't make it home

because he was with another woman.

What took you so long?

James.

I-I gotta go to the restroom.

You don't look happy.

Did you see the news?

James,

let's get a divorce.

Hey,

James, Olivia's in trouble!

James.

Stop it.

We'll talk when I get back.

Thirteen years of pining.

One year of marriage.

I always thought

it was a blessing my love was returned.

Now,

my dream is shattered.

I said

after I deal with Olivia,

I'll come find you.

Stop it, okay?

But James,

I...

I can't wait.

Didn't I die in a car crash?

How...

My suitcase?

I'm back to when I was 18,

when I first moved in with the Walkers.

You're Sophie Evans, the one staying with us?

Sophie Evans?

I didn't know until later

that today is the day

Olivia leaves and breaks up with James.

That lipstick mark

was also from Olivia.

Since I've been given a second chance,

I'll never repeat the same mistake

falling for James

and making myself so pathetic.

Staying up is bad for you.

Hey.

Classmate,

are you in Class 7 too?

I don't think I've seen you before.

My deskmate in my past life,

Emily Carter.

I'm Sophie Evans.

I transferred from Riverdale

this semester.

Oh, so you're Sophie Evans!

We're desk mates then!

Yeah.

Sophie, look!

It's, it's Lucas Bennett!

That's...

Why the tears on such a happy day?

If James treats you badly, come home.

I...

The Bennetts will always have your back.

So handsome!

You like him?

It's admiration.

He's a math genius.

He made the national team.

He got into Stanton.

But there's a catch.

What's the catch?

He has a face

like a male siren.

Mr. Bennett.

Hey, Soph.

How was your first day?

Are you settling in?

I'm doing fine.

Oh, good.

That's great.

If you need anything,

just find Lucas.

Don't hesitate.

I'll have him add you.

Okay.

Grandpa.

There he is.

That must be Lucas.

Mr. Bennett,

I'll go do my homework now.

I'll visit you when I have time.

Alright.

Sophie is at the Walkers'.

She'll stay there two months,

then come to our place.

Our place?

Sophie's had a hard life.

Her parents passed young.

Grandparents too.

Add her on socials.

Her grandpa saved my life.

Look out for her

at school, okay?

Sure.

Added.

He cracked someone's skull!

They reported it to me!

He still thinks he's right!

He's trying to kill me!

He's trying to kill me!

Just keep a closer eye on him.

How?

Oh...

Hey, Soph.

Soph.

You go to the same school.

Could you help us

keep an eye on him?

so that little rascal

doesn't cause trouble.

Right, Soph can

keep an eye on him.

Sure.

Mr. Walker, don't be mad.

Alright.

Hey, James.

Who's that?

When did you meet her?

She here for you?

She's my grandpa's spy.

Your spy?

The one at Maple Court?

That's her?

We both get scolded,

why doesn't my family

send a pretty girl to watch me?

Hey, tell them

to turn it up.

She's doing homework.

So what?

She followed me here.

Fine.

Who's that?

Why do homework

not at home?

What's with the act?

What's her game?

Heard James brought her.

James brought her?

I thought after Olivia left,

Chloe had the best shot.

After all, she's

just like Olivia.

I think so.

Right?

I asked Ben about her.

She's Mr. Walker Sr.'s

friend's granddaughter.

She lives at Maple Court.

How long has she lived there?

Hmm, seems like forever.

But James hasn't

paid her any mind.

Looks like she followed him here.

James, wanna play games?

I've been stuck for days.

Can you carry me?

Busy tonight.

Ask Ben to carry you.

Maybe next time.

Oh.

Did you hear that?

Girls join math contests

just to chase you.

Then there's the girl

doing James's homework.

Why don't girls

do that for me?

Maybe the girls who like you

don't do contests.

Hey,

it's my birthday.

Can you be a bit nicer

to the birthday boy?

Happy birthday!

Let's sing for Ryan!

Happy birthday!

for someone else.

Waiter. for someone else.

Yes, sir?

Turn on the light there.

And bring her a lamp.

Right away, sir.

Hey.

Go.

Where to?

Nothing.

Your lamp, miss.

Thank you.

He's quite attentive.

Come on, sing!

Sorry.

I think I got the wrong room.

Hey,

aren't you the girl

doing homework next door?

Yeah.

Hi,

I'm Sophie Evans.

Chris Hughes.

You came with James?

Yeah.

Why are you doing homework alone?

Not going next door?

I don't know

anyone here.

And I haven't finished my homework.

Let's add each other.

Next time at events like this,

you can hang out with me.

Sure.

My brother's calling.

I gotta go.

Headed home now.

Bye.

I just saw that girl

doing homework.

She's alone next door.

Who cares?

Let's sing.

Waiter.

Send a fruit platter and snacks next door.

Here you go.

Your snacks.

Who sent these?

I was just told

to bring these over.

I don't know exactly.

Where have you been?

What's wrong?

Have you seen Sophie?

She hasn't come back.

Her phone's off.

The driver hasn't heard from her either.

Call Aunt May back.

She noticed you weren't home.

She's worried sick.

Hi, Aunt May.

I was doing homework

and fell asleep.

My phone died.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry to worry you.

That's all that matters.

Come home now.

Get in.

Grandpa, it's been over an hour.

That's enough.

You little rascal!

You almost lost Soph!

You know you're wrong?

I was wrong.

Tell her to stop following me.

That's enough.

What's with the attitude?

Hold it!

That's not what I meant.

I mean,

tell her to stop following me.

So she doesn't get lost again.

Soph, you've worked hard.

You don't have to follow James.

Okay.

Lucas?

Lucas?

Up until now,

I haven't met Lucas Bennett formally.

He probably doesn't know me.

He won't think I'm some creep, will he?

Um,

I'm Sophie Evans.

I know.

He knows,

but he won't get

why I called him that.

I'll pay.

I got it.

Check out.

Anything else?

No.

I have more.

Sophie Evans is beneath James.

She must have used some tricks

to force him to marry her.

Go ahead, tell me.

My sister,

who isn't she good enough for?

Don't let me hear that again.

Don't stay out late.

Go home early.

Okay, Lucas.

Here.

Thanks.

You're about to class?

I'll get going.

Okay.

Lucas,

you have a sister I don't know about?

What?

You're not

gay, are you?

Shut up, Lucas.

I'm straight.

You have a sister like that?

She's your type.

Pure and pretty.

Obedient but with a spark.

What type?

How would I know

my type?

My grandpa and the Walkers

brought her from Riverdale.

Grandpa made me promise

to take care of her.

I remember now.

She, you, and James

have an arranged marriage?

Three-way arranged marriage?

Does that make sense?

What's her name again?

Soph-

Sophie Evans.

It's her?

No wonder it sounds familiar.

It's the girl

doing homework at my birthday.

She likes James, Lucas.

Perfect then.

Looks like

it's on.

Chloe's copying Olivia.

I noticed that too.

Olivia plays the violin,

so she plays it too.

Even their styles are similar.

James.

Chloe's playing just for you.

You're not even listening.

I am listening.

Since Olivia went to the US,

has she contacted you?

She called once,

but I missed it.

I-

James. I-

Your little shadow's here.

So what?

Sophie, Ryan told me.

So you know Lucas?

We only met once.

We'll get close soon.

Aren't you staying at his place?

Look at Lucas!

Yes!

Ryan's still showing off.

He's handsome,

but with Lucas here,

who's looking at him?

Sophie Evans.

I'm Ethan Quinn.

We should hang out sometime.

Add me on socials?

Sorry,

I don't add strangers.

Then-

Let's sing a song.

We'll be friends in no time.

Sing a duet!

Sing one!

Sing!

Everyone's cheering.

Sing with him.

Or he'll be embarrassed.

Pressuring her is what's embarrassing.

So worried about his feelings?

He who proposed sings it.

Chloe, James wants you.

Still wanna sing?

I'll sing with you.

How about "Plateau"?

Miss Hughes,

spare my voice.

Ethan Quinn

changes girlfriends like clothes.

He cheats on them too.

Sophie,

just ignore him. Sophie,

just ignore him.

Sophie, just ignore him.

Sophie,

And Chloe,

she's fake.

James, you called?

What's up?

You're not my girlfriend,

so mind your own business.

My grandparents

dote on her like she's their own.

Tell me,

if they knew

you pushed someone like Ethan

to be with her,

what would happen?

I-

Cut the crap.

Lucas,

what happened to your locker?

What do you mean?

See for yourself.

Don't tell me you

did this yourself?

I'll go vegetarian for a week

if I pass the monthly exam.

What's this new trend?

Treating you like a wishing well?

Watch it.

Hand.

What for?

Hand.

Now you look

like a wishing well turtle.

Let's be real,

Lucas, you might not be a turtle,

but you're definitely a dog.

What are we doing?

There's a new trend going around.

Write down your exam wish,

stick it on the locker,

and pray for his blessing.

You're not really doing this, are you?

Of course I am.

Hold this for me.

My shoe's untied.

Oh no, someone's coming! Run!

You-

Well, I-

Why aren't you calling me Lucas?

Just call me by name.

Lucas Bennett.

My name doesn't burn your tongue, does it?

No.

It's just...

I rarely called him by name before.

Not used to it.

Not in class?

I have PE now.

Good luck on exams.

You wrote this?

It's my friend's.

Oh, your friend?

It's really my friend's.

This is my friend.

Hi.

I'm Emily Carter.

You stick it on.

Really?

If you don't want to...

Stick it.

If you believe in it,

one more won't hurt.

Okay.

Please bless me.

Shall we go?

We'll get going now.

Okay.

Good luck on exams.

Bye.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to run off.

Glad you're back.

I won't be mad this time.

Okay.

Nice one.

Have some.

Soph,

don't be shy with us.

Your grandpa and I

are old friends.

Back then,

I accidentally

stepped in a hunter's trap.

If your grandpa hadn't saved me,

my left leg would be gone.

Really?

Soph,

your grandpa and I are closer.

Alright,

cut it out.

You two always do this.

Always the same.

Alright, let's drop it.

James,

your birthday's coming up, right?

Then Soph and Lucas can come.

We'll have a big celebration.

Right!

Come on over.

Hold on.

I ran into your deskmate on Friday.

She asked me to return these.

Thanks.

Leaving already?

What else?

So sweet in front of the grandpas,

but you're all thorns with me.

I thought you talked to everyone like that.

Thanks for getting my headphones.

When you say that,

could you at least pretend to mean it?

You like me,

and want my attention, right?

What's so great about you?

That's good.

I was worried you'd get upset,

and Grandpa and Grandma would scold me.

Chris said you have something for her.

She asked me to get it.

I'm on my way to her.

Lucas, come with me.

Sure.

Thanks, Lucas.

You seem...

Seem what?

Very respectful.

Are you like this with James?

Lucas.

I'll go ahead.

Happy birthday!

You don't look happy today.

I'll save a wish for you.

What are you staring at?

Make a wish.

Then I wish

for my future birthdays,

you'll be there with me.

I mean every single one.

Sure.

Happy birthday!

For every birthday after that,

he really did celebrate with me.

The only time he bailed

was when we first went abroad

for college.

He got back in touch with Olivia,

and went to meet her.

It's my birthday, eat up!

Drink and have fun!

Happy birthday, James!

Come on, happy birthday!

Drink up!

Come on, cheers!

James.

We're still sixteen.

But this time,

you won't save a wish for me.

And I won't wish

for him to celebrate every birthday.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

Sophie, perfect timing!

We're playing Werewolf.

James isn't playing, we need one more.

Wanna join?

No, thanks.

I haven't eaten yet.

I'll go grab something.

What did she get James?

What is that?

Looks like a cheap paper bag.

How could she give that?

She's not one of us.

Just a guest.

She can't afford better gifts.

A train model?

Did she just grab this

from a convenience store?

Lucas Bennett!

Happy birthday!

Lucas Bennett!

So handsome!

So handsome!

Sophie,

you don't know many people here.

Why don't you join me?

Let's go sit over there.

Thanks, but no.

Sophie,

did I do something wrong?

You don't like me,

so you won't join me?

We got here early, but it's packed.

Don't worry.

Your princess is here.

Let me... Your princess is here.

Let me...

She's your queen.

Shut up!

Why is she

talking to Chloe?

Do you think

Chloe will pull something?

Lucas,

your princess

won't get bullied, right?

Sorry,

I gotta take this.

Hello?

If you're alone,

why don't you come join us?

Come on over!

Have a seat, Sophie.

Just call me Sophie.

This is Ryan.

You've met him.

I'm Chris's cousin.

I know.

Sophie.

That's a bit too friendly.

Full name sounds too distant.

Do you play games?

I-

I only know a couple of heroes.

And I don't have the game on my phone.

Use mine.

Party invite sent.

It's fine.

Lucas,

why don't you play instead?

Don't you call him Lucas?

One more round!

Ryan, don't hide in the bush!

Come protect me!

I'll protect you.

I'm just hiding.

But you're a dog.

I'm squishy too.

Need protection.

Then come over.

Come here, I'll protect you.

Coming, Your Highness!

You're the real deal.

One more round!

James,

isn't your little shadow at Maple Court?

Since when

did she get so close to Lucas?

You're going to Maple Court?

What, can't I go?

That's not what I meant.

Such a half-assed gift.

Still holding a grudge?

I was just messing with you.

Can't take a joke?

I didn't know what you like.

So on the way here,

I just grabbed a model.

It's-

It's the most expensive one.

My birthday

isn't over for an hour.

You can still go buy one.

I'm gonna go buy something.

Uncle John, wait for me.

That's James's father.

I thought you'd make up

for that half-assed gift.

I thought you two

wouldn't be back for noodles.

Of course we would.

Aunt May, I'm not hungry.

I'll pass.

Even if you're not hungry,

this is James's birthday noodles.

You have to eat.

Okay.

Just leave the bowls here

when you're done.

Sure.

After seeing Michael,

James hasn't been in a good mood.

What are you staring at?

Afraid I'll kill you?

Then eat faster.

Mr. Bennett.

Soph.

Back from James's birthday party?

Yes.

I'm just letting you know

you've been at Maple Court

time to visit us

this Sunday

I'll send a car to pick you up

Okay.

Soph,

make yourself at home

here with us.

Just like Maple Court.

You must be Soph.

This is Lucas's mom and dad.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett.

Make yourself at home.

Let me know if you need anything.

Alright.

I'll leave Soph in your care.

Don't worry, Dad.

I'll show Soph her room.

Alright.

Soph, this is your room.

Lucas's room is right next door.

You two have met, right?

That boy

went with Ryan and the others

to a Halloween event.

Want to join them?

No thanks, Mrs. Bennett.

I'm going to the amusement park with friends.

Okay, stay safe.

Halloween cosplay success!

I'll post the group photo.

You okay?

Just got back from the party.

You...

You're bleeding!

I think my veil scratched you.

It's fine.

What are you dressed as anyway?

A ghost bride.

It's...

It's what?

Not scary at all.

Well,

I just took some makeup off.

It was scarier before.

I'm gonna head back to my room.

Morning, Grandpa.

Soph, come.

Let's eat.

Morning, Grandpa.

Morning.

Morning.

What happened here?

Just a little scratch.

Be more careful next time.

Okay.

Let's eat.

Come eat.

If it were on someone else,

it wouldn't be so obvious.

But Lucas has such fair skin,

it really stands out.

Stare any longer and it'll heal.

Healing is good.

Did you get a good look?

See?

It's almost healed.

When I play ball,

even a scratch

is bigger than this.

Well,

when you play ball,

be careful.

Isn't that Sophie?

Why did she get off

Lucas's car?

Did she move in with him?

Don't know.

She didn't return last week.

Sophie!

Let's go.

Lucas,

you're hurt?

Just a scratch.

What scratched you?

Right here?

People might think

someone did this to you.

Who do you think did it?

What if it was a pretty girl?

You're a genius.

Get lost.

Cut the crap.

Hey, Lucas,

be honest.

Did you do this

in the mirror?

Why else is it so sexy?

The girls in class today

couldn't take their eyes off you.

Then I'll scratch you too.

Hey Soph,

I just found out in the group chat

that you're living with Lucas!

So you get to see

Lucas every day?

Sort of.

We're on the same floor.

So you must

have picked up

his vibe.

Hold on.

Come in.

Soph,

you're living with Lucas now.

What a chance!

Ask him if you don't know.

He can't say no.

He's right there.

Why not take advantage?

If it were someone else,

they'd jump at the chance

to milk him dry.

Dinner's ready.

Okay.

Got it.

Sure.

Hey Soph,

Why'd you hang up?

I accidentally pressed it.

I'm gonna go eat now.

Where's Mr. Bennett?

He has a dinner.

So tonight,

it's just the two of us?

What's wrong?

Lucas,

we're heading to your place.

Chris is with me.

Okay.

So,

have you decided?

De-

decided what?

How to milk me.

No!

I didn't!

That-

My friend was just kidding.

So you don't wanna milk me?

No!

That's not what I meant.

I-

I didn't mean to milk you.

I just wanna ask a question.

I'm scary?

No.

Then ask.

Okay.

After dinner, show me

your midterm papers.

Leave it with me.

Ryan and the others are coming over.

Long time no see,

Sophie.

Long time no see.

Go play with Chris first.

You two live this close?

Lucas,

what's this?

Can't read it?

I mean,

you're tutoring her?

Why?

Can't I?

You're tutoring someone?

Remember when that family

asked you to tutor their granddaughter?

You wouldn't go.

But now...

You're acting like it's nothing.

Is it the same?

But in all these years,

I've never seen

anyone who could get you to do this.

She really is special.

Ryan.

Lucas.

What's gotten into you?

Look at you.

Are you jealous?

Me?

Jealous of what?

This is my first time

at Lucas's.

First time?

Before,

my brother came alone.

Since you're here,

he asked me to come play with you.

Lucas didn't want you to be bored.

He's so thoughtful.

When you first came to Northbridge,

he was worried you wouldn't know anyone,

so he asked me to play with you.

So,

you came to play with me because of him?

So,

you hung out with me because of him?

At first, yeah.

But later on,

I really clicked with you.

In my past life, when Chris and I first became friends,

she often asked me out to hang.

Was that also because of Lucas?

My friend booked a room.

They want us to go.

So, are you guys in?

Let's go!

Why not?

It's only seven.

Let's go then.

She's a total babe!

Lucas, you finally came down to earth?

She's my grandpa's friend's sister.

Cut it out.

Evans, right?

Yeah.

Hi.

We're playing Truth or Dare.

Join us!

She's not playing.

We're almost there.

I brought bubble tea.

Okay, I'll come down.

They're almost here.

I'll get them.

Sure.

Sophie Evans.

Long time no see.

Don't rush off.

You here to play too?

I'm busy.

Move.

How about this?

Add me on socials, and I'll let you go.

Didn't know you

ran the place.

I didn't know

you owned this place.

Lucas,

you're here too?

You're a Bennett?

That's what they call me.

How do I get past?

I'm talking to you.

How do I get past?

Add you on social media?

I know Sophie.

You know him?

I don't.

How could you not know me?

We played Truth or Dare last time.

You even lent me a hair tie.

We almost sang together.

Should I believe you or her?

That never happened.

I'm in a hurry.

He's blocking my way.

We're just messing around.

Fine.

Then play with me?

Or...

are you sexist?

Only play with girls,

not with me?

Wanna isolate me?

What are you doing here?

Ryan.

We're just messing around.

Lucas,

when did you start hanging out with Ethan?

Chris,

you two go ahead inside.

Sophie,

let's go.

Lucas,

I didn't know she came with you guys.

Ethan,

you think you can mess with anyone?

No,

we just talked a bit.

Tell me what you said.

Nothing really.

Just wanted to add her on WeChat.

Bullshit!

You know,

she's Lucas's girl.

If you dare mess with her,

Mr. Bennett will be at your place tomorrow.

Your dad will beat the crap out of you.

Thanks for the heads-up, Ryan.

I don't know what Chloe was up to,

egging me on like that.

Chloe?

Yeah.

It's her.

She said

James doesn't like Sophie anyway,

so he won't mind.

Maybe

he'd be glad she's with me.

Who's Chloe?

She's James's girlfriend?

Not sure.

Heard from Chris

she's a total drama queen.

Well, guys,

I gotta go.

Hold on.

Since you like adding people,

add a hundred tonight.

Guys.

I'll check later.

Lucas,

you're brutal.

What happened?

Ethan Quinn was pestering me again,

asking for my WeChat.

Lucas happened to see it.

That Ethan Quinn!

Why won't he give up?

Is he never gonna stop?

Don't worry.

With Lucas and Ryan here,

he won't dare

bother you again.

What's wrong?

Wrong drink.

This is Lucas's.

You ordered the same.

His is full sugar.

Yours is 30%.

I mixed them up.

He usually

drinks something this sweet?

Yeah.

Lucas always orders

full sugar milk tea.

Super sweet.

So sweet.

How can he drink this?

Surprised?

He looks so cool,

but he has a sweet tooth.

Um,

I'm gonna go to the restroom.

James,

it's my birthday tomorrow.

I'm having a birthday dinner.

You want me to go?

So, are you coming?

Busy.

Can't go.

Not at Maple Court?

Then we're strangers.

Move out of Maple Court,

and you pretend

not to know me?

What if

Mr. and Mrs. Walker

knew their Soph

moved out a week

and acts like a stranger?

Wonder what they'd think.

You looked busy,

didn't want to bother.

What was I busy with?

Sophie!

Why're you in such a hurry?

We'll get going.

James.

Is Chloe your girlfriend?

You into her?

I'm pretty picky.

No.

Just some stupid rumor.

Why don't you ask

why she put Ethan up to it?

Got it.

Chloe told Ethan

you don't like Sophie,

so he should hit on her.

She's got some nerve.

James,

I heard you have a weak stomach.

probably shouldn't drink. You

probably shouldn't drink.

Then you drink it.

I don't really drink.

It's not good.

You gonna watch me?

Sure.

Wait.

What's wrong?

So much, I really...

Didn't you say you and Ethan

are close?

Then

have Ethan pick you up.

Why bring up Ethan?

I barely know him.

What did I tell you?

Don't you dare

mess with Sophie.

After you told me last time,

I remembered.

When I saw her later,

I even talked to her.

Could there be

some misunderstanding?

Chloe, just admit it.

Why are you

targeting Sophie?

You can't mess with her.

Besides,

there's nothing

between James and her.

What are you thinking?

Are you crazy?

Ethan's already

taken care of.

You're lucky you're a girl,

so you didn't have to drink.

If there's a next time,

you won't be so lucky.

James,

she's at least

your type.

You really don't know

how to treat a lady.

Who said I like her?

You don't like her?

Then what's your type?

Obedient,

but not too obedient.

What are you looking at?

That's Sophie, isn't it?

Weren't you dissing her before?

Looks like Chloe isn't crazy.

Grandpa has a dinner.

We're eating out.

What do you want?

Whatever.

Should we

invite Chris and the rest?

Check your phone.

Dinner together?

I know a private kitchen.

Lucas,

I specially ordered

this cake for you.

Have a bite.

Get lost!

Here we go.

Have a seat.

I'm having a

slumber party next week.

Sophie, are you coming?

Sure.

You're the best.

Lucas, are you in?

Sure.

Sure.

Dig in.

Lucas, have a shrimp.

So fancy?

At this rate,

you'll be here till next year.

Thanks.

Lucas.

Look at Lucas.

You're both older brothers.

Learn from him.

He's no proper brother.

I've been a brother for years.

What can I learn from him?

Fine, fine.

Your Highness.

I'm gonna go to the restroom.

Coming?

I'll go with you.

Lucas,

you know how to peel shrimp?

Want one?

You know I'm allergic to shrimp!

You trying to kill me?

Serious question.

Lucas,

ever thought about stealing her away?

Sophie has a crush on James.

She's bound to get hurt.

You'd be doing her a favor.

You've got the face for it.

What're you looking at?

Just checking

what your face is good for.

So, what's my face good for?

Can't tell.

Get lost.

Sophie!

You made it!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Thanks!

Soph,

go upstairs and change.

There are some empty rooms.

Okay.

He's so clingy.

Stop staring.

Go upstairs and change.

Okay.

Hello?

Sophie,

it's Ben.

Has James called you?

Since last night,

Can't reach him.

He's nowhere.

He's missing?

I don't know.

He hasn't called me.

Okay.

Sophie,

sorry to bother.

Wait!

What's up, Sophie?

Have you checked Rockhill?

How could I forget that place?

I'm on my way.

In my past life,

James went missing

after finding out

Ben and I searched for him

all day and night.

This time, I won't go after him.

What are you doing here?

Changing clothes.

The door was unlocked.

I thought no one was here.

What are you doing in there?

I came to make a call.

Still staring?

No.

What did you see?

I wasn't looking.

Really?

I was the one seen.

Why are you shy?

You don't look

the least bit shy.

Someone has to be

embarrassed.

I...

I'll change elsewhere.

You change here.

I'll go change elsewhere.

Okay.

Why take so long to change?

Got lost.

Yeah, right.

What's up?

Lucas,

why are your ears red?

Just changing pajamas.

No need to rush.

So shy?

It's hot.

Also,

I'm just naturally shy.

Who's bragging about themselves?

Have some shame.

You...

Sophie.

Sophie, you're here!

You look great!

Look at my cousin's flashy leopard print.

It's hilarious.

I think it's okay.

Oh right!

I've prepared

something else.

Let's have a pillow fight!

Yes!

You dare hit me?

Don't run!

Come join us!

Sophie, join us!

Lucas!

Can't be seen with you.

You're a magnet for girls.

They're all here for Lucas.

Besides me,

who'd play with you?

You!

It's James.

It's me.

What is it?

How did you know I'm in Rockhill?

Ben said you told him

to come find me here.

They couldn't find you.

I remembered Aunt May said

you'd be in Rockhill.

So,

I asked if they checked there.

for you.

Sophie Evans,

you're enjoying it at the Bennetts.

Of course I am.

If Mr. and Mrs. Walker heard that,

they'd be heartbroken.

I never said

I wasn't happy at Maple Court.

I don't think you were

as happy at the Walkers.

Suit yourself.

Aren't you asking why I'm here?

But you probably don't care.

Go back now.

It's nothing important.

I'll hang up now.

Tired?

There's one on your head.

Let me get that for you.

Lucas! Where's Lucas?

Where did he go?

Soph,

want to accept a bribe?

Sophie,

seen Lucas?

He must've snuck out.

Where did he go?

Oh, I just saw him.

He ran that way.

Thanks, Sophie.

Let's go get him!

Sophie,

word is James's dad

brought home a love child.

Mrs. Walker is livid and ill.

Mrs. Walker is ill?

She's always been so kind.

I must go see her.

Thanks for visiting Grandma.

Grandma has always treated me

like family.

It's only right I visit.

You're welcome.

No need to see me out.

Then who do you want?

Want Grandpa to?

Fine by me.

Miss Evans, I'll be there in a few minutes.

Save my number.

Add me on socials.

Your number is enough.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Add me on WeChat?

If Grandpa and Grandma knew

I'm not your friend,

they'd give me an earful.

Give it back!

Give it back!

Where're you going?

Give it back. I'll add you myself.

There, done.

Can I have it back now?

What brings you here?

How's Grandma?

I can go check on her.

No need.

She's probably asleep.

It's nothing serious.

She's almost better.

Then give her my regards.

Sure, will do.

Give me back my phone.

Leaving?

Yeah.

Not happy at the Walkers today?

No.

Or...

Did I upset you?

Lucas doesn't seem to want to talk.

Our recent interactions

have made me feel

less awkward around him.

It almost made me forget

Lucas seems approachable,

but he's actually distant.

Then it's me.

No.

I just thought

you seemed a bit down.

I-

Here.

Bribing me again?

I usually use this

to cheer people up.

So...

Is he trying to cheer me up?

I'm not in the best mood today.

What's wrong?

Bad haircut.

What?

Look.

I-

I think it looks fine.

It's bad.

It's really bad.

I think it looks fine.

I must've been out of my mind yesterday.

Luckily, Lucas didn't say anything.

Sophie, wanna get your ears pierced?

You wanna?

Kinda.

But I'm too scared to go alone.

Let's go together!

We can wear matching earrings!

What do you say?

Sure!

Will it hurt to get my ears pierced?

They're gonna punch a hole in my ear.

That sounds scary.

It'll only hurt for a second.

Really?

How do you know?

In my past life,

I thought James

liked girls with piercings,

so I got mine done.

Just a guess.

Yeah.

Let's go!

It's infected.

You got your ears pierced?

Yeah.

You're hiding it, but I saw it.

Maybe

it got wet,

so it got infected.

Let's go to the hospital.

No need, just a pharmacy.

To the hospital.

Drive.

The doctor said just apply the ointment.

Let me help you.

No, it's fine.

I can do it myself.

Let me do it.

You're getting it everywhere.

It's not that bad.

Turn a bit.

My inflamed earlobe must look ugly.

Stay still.

Does it hurt?

Not really,

just a little itchy.

What are you looking at?

So curious?

A little, maybe.

Sophie, you know you look...

Look what?

Like I'm teasing him?

Up a bit.

Can't see.

It was just a second,

but I felt something.

Oh.

Heard you got your ears pierced.

After the New Year's Party,

let's go pick out new earrings!

New Year's Party!

Come join us!

My brother and Lucas

this is

their last New Year's Party!

I had the designer

send over some latest dresses.

Pick one

that's perfect for the party.

Try this.

Okay.

Lucas Bennett

never let me dress him up.

Finally, I have a pretty girl

to dress up!

Okay, Mrs. Bennett.

I'll go try it on.

Sure, go ahead.

You're back!

Running a boutique, Mrs. Bennett?

Come here!

Sophie's trying on dresses.

Give her some feedback.

Sure.

What're you up to, bro?

Which girl has stolen your heart,

making you ignore me?

Soph, this dress looks stunning on you.

The color suits you perfectly.

Lucas, what do you think?

Looks great.

Then I'll take this.

Hey, Sophie, you made it!

Why so late?

You missed the dancing.

Oh, I had to wait for school to end.

Come on, just skip it.

Oh, I gotta go handle something.

James is inside.

Go on in.

I'm not here for James.

Keep staring.

You'll get eye sores.

I-I'm here to find Chris.

I saw.

You walked straight here.

Didn't even stop.

Y-you saw it too.

Keep staring.

I'll get eye sores too.

Lucas, Sophie.

They're playing games inside.

Everyone's waiting.

I-I gotta go.

Lucas.

What're you two up to?

Just talking.

What got her all flustered?

Don't tell me it's the heat.

Just some...

things you don't know.

Alright, everyone's here.

Let's play a game!

What game?

Truth or Dare!

Music starts.

Pass the pillow.

Music stops.

Whoever has the pillow loses.

Alright!

3, 2, 1, go!

Truth or Dare?

Dare.

Dare.

Let's make this one count.

If I remember right,

there's a storage room by the door.

Here's the deal.

I'll cut the power to the storage room.

Then you pick a guy

and stay in there for 5 minutes.

No phones. Sound good?

Alright.

I pick Lucas.

Will you come with me?

I'm afraid of the dark.

Pick someone else.

Then I pick James.

Sorry.

I'm afraid of the dark too.

I'll go with you.

Let's start round two!

Go!

Sophie, Why do we meet in this world?

Truth or Dare?

Truth.

Is it fate?

Don't go too far.

Don't go overboard.

Let me ask.

Is it fate? Let me ask.

Is it fate?

Do you have a crush on James?

Do you have a crush on James?

Why would I ever

like James?

But before,

didn't you hang out with him a lot?

When we first met,

he even took you to study in a private room.

That's because he was always fighting,

which upset Mr. Walker Sr.

He asked me to keep an eye on him.

Oh, I see.

Yeah.

To think I thought you liked him,

and tried to set you up.

So, that clears up the misunderstanding.

Got something in your eye?

Lucas, cut the act.

Ryan, we're inside.

How could you get sand in your eye?

We're just kidding.

Hey, this game's boring.

Let's sing instead.

Come on, let's sing!

That was so much fun today!

Let's come back here next time.

Soph,

Why do you have to go to Maple Court already?

Can't you stay at the Bennetts

for two more months?

It was already agreed.

I stay with each family for two months.

If I don't go,

Mr. Walker Sr. will be upset.

Fine.

I don't want to see James,

but the elders are so kind to me.

I can't let them down.

Sophie,

when you go there,

and have a new brother,

will you forget your old one?

Of course not!

So, which brother is better?

Lucas or James?

How can I compare them?

Lucas is so good to me.

Ten Jameses can't compare.

Hey,

let me ask you.

Do you think your dad's better,

or your mom?

Oh, come on.

Let's go.

Go.

Sophie,

why is your face so red?

You're burning up.

Are you sick?

Yeah.

Just a little.

Let me take you to the clinic.

It's okay.

No need. I'll take some meds.

Okay.

Sophie.

No.

No.

No.

Lucas?

What are you doing here?

Are you okay?

Just a little.

Did you take any meds?

I'll take you home.

I'll carry you home.

Uncle John's here.

Okay.

Let's go.

Why didn't you push Lucas away just now?

I don't need your help.

Then you'll carry your own bag?

Look at you.

You're still carrying a bag?

Stay out of it!

You think I want to?

If Grandma hadn't made me look after you...

Not feeling well?

None of your business.

Then who's it to?

What's with him?

Who's it to?

That Daji is so sneaky!

Come 1v1 if you dare!

Mid lane.

Daji, all you do is bush camp?

1v1 and you still bush camp?

Have some shame!

Come at me.

You promised you wouldn't bush camp.

You call that carrying?

That's brutal, Lucas!

The jungler's about to cry.

Lucas, in a bad mood again?

No wonder you're so aggressive.

I'm fine.

Why would I be in a bad mood?

Denial.

You're clearly in a bad mood.

Hey.

Sophie, are you feeling better?

Much better.

Hey,

how did you know I was sick?

Lucas told me.

I was planning

to study at your place tonight,

but Lucas said you still had a fever,

so I didn't want to bother you.

Glad you're feeling better.

Okay.

At the clinic yesterday afternoon,

I ran into Lucas.

I felt so terrible when I left,

I forgot to say goodbye to him.

No wonder

I felt like I forgot something.

Lucas, you got a message.

So what?

Aren't you gonna check it?

See who it's from.

Mr. Bennett, writing couplets?

Soph, you're here!

Perfect timing!

Help me pick.

Which for the east wing door?

I think this one is nice.

Okay then.

Put this on the west wing.

In a bit,

Lucas will put it up.

Lucas is here too?

You rascal!

I told you to put up the couplets.

Why is it taking so long?

There's still so many left.

When will you finish?

Just got here.

After that day,

this is the first time

I've seen Lucas.

Soph

has been here a while.

Look at you,

why are you so slow?

Grandpa,

we have to put up all these?

What's wrong?

Can't I tell you what to do?

Of course.

Go put this

on the east wing.

Sure.

Mr. Bennett, let me help.

No need.

Let him do it.

You're a girl.

You don't have to.

It's okay.

Go on!

Um,

all done.

I'll head inside.

Hey Soph,

Chinese New Year is coming.

After that,

isn't your birthday soon?

I remember your grandpa said

your birthday is...

Oh,

on the God of Wealth day, right?

Yes.

How are you celebrating?

It's not a big deal.

Just hanging out with friends.

Grandpa,

don't worry.

Soph has it covered.

Alright then.

Then,

you young ones

can have fun.

Happy birthday!

Sophie!

Happy birthday!

Make a wish!

Happy birthday

to you

Happy birthday

to you

James!

Look who's here!

When did Olivia get back?

Why is she back?

How did she get in?

Didn't they break up

because she went abroad?

She dumped him.

Are they getting back together?

James.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to surprise you.

That's a surprise.

It's my turn to make a wish,

but everyone's eyes

are on Olivia.

In my past life,

this happened so many times.

Oh.

This is Olivia Grant.

Our good friend.

We grew up together.

This is Sophie Evans.

She lives at Maple Court.

She's Mr. and

Mrs. Walker's pride and joy.

Hi, I'm Olivia Grant.

This is for you.

Hope I'm not interrupting.

Of course not.

The more the merrier.

Right, Sophie?

Thanks.

Make a wish and blow!

They're almost gone!

Make a wish, Sophie!

Sophie, make a wish!

Happy birthday! Happy birthday!

Let's go!

Let's head over.

Let's go!

Hi.

You're so lucky

to have so many people here.

Not really.

There's something

I haven't told you.

I'm James's ex.

The day you came to Northbridge

was the day I left for abroad.

So we never met.

But the day I left,

James saw me off.

Oh.

So what?

Ex-girlfriend.

So,

James must still love me.

Because his last ex

looked just like me.

So we'll get back together.

Good luck with that.

Since Olivia showed up,

I've been on edge.

In my past life,

Olivia didn't return.

Maybe because I'm reliving this,

so much has changed.

Why are you out here?

Lost a bet.

Looking for a goddess in a white dress.

Just kidding.

Oh.

Check the pocket.

Open it.

Happy birthday.

Why the tears?

It's okay.

Don't cry.

It's freezing out here.

Doesn't look like anyone's here.

Where could Sophie be?

I have no idea.

I just went to the restroom.

When I came back, she was gone.

Let's go.

Why the rush?

She's gone.

Lucas is gone too.

Won't answer calls.

It's freezing.

They wouldn't be out here.

They're probably together.

With Lucas, she's safe.

Let's head back and search.

Um, I want to go home.

Then let's go.

Don't worry about this.

Okay.

Hi, Uncle John.

I want to go home now.

Could you come pick me up?

I didn't get my stuff.

Don't worry.

I'll have someone send it to Maple Court.

Okay.

I'll walk you out.

Where have you been?

Just out for a walk.

Your coat.

What did you do with Lucas?

Nothing.

It's your birthday party.

You left everyone behind.

Couldn't find you.

My birthday party.

Can't I even choose

where to go?

Have you been crying?

No.

What did Lucas do?

He did nothing.

It's not his fault.

Then why the tears?

Can't I miss home?

What's up?

James, where are you?

Olivia's been waiting.

Get back here.

Can't.

Olivia's been throwing a fit.

Saying she'll go abroad.

What's her problem now?

I didn't ask her to come back.

Let her go.

I didn't ask Olivia to come.

We heard it all.

She said it's a surprise.

Did you hear?

We broke up long ago.

I said,

your thing with Olivia

doesn't interest me.

Why am I even explaining this?

Sophie.

Nothing.

What's wrong, James?

Is that James?

James,

why don't you come over?

Check for me.

Forget it.

He must be going to see Olivia.

Sophie's missing.

James has to find her.

If something happens,

he can't face

Mr. and Mrs. Walker.

Sophie?

You on her side or mine?

Of course I'm on your side, Olivia.

But you know James's temper.

I defied my mother

just to come back for him.

What more does he want?

What is he up to?

I know.

It wasn't easy for you to come back.

I didn't expect you to return.

Look, James is back!

James!

James,

what are you looking for?

It's none of your business.

Then who's it about?

James,

Olivia

came back just for you.

I'll cover her flight.

Don't pull that.

It won't work.

Are you home?

Yeah.

My old classmates are having a reunion.

I'm not sure if I should go.

Go ahead.

We were planning to visit Riverdale anyway. Go ahead.

We were planning to visit Riverdale anyway.

Then after dinner,

I'll meet up with you.

Sophie, come sit!

Have a seat.

Sophie, long time no see!

How's Northbridge?

Why'd you transfer so suddenly?

Oh,

there were some changes at home.

But I'm doing well in Northbridge.

Sophie,

when did you get back to Riverdale?

Yesterday afternoon.

How long are you staying?

I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon.

This place is pretty good.

Any plans after this?

Any plans after this? Any plans after this?

Any plans after this?

We're going karaoke after dinner.

It's right upstairs.

I think I'll pass.

I have something else to do.

Let's meet up next time.

Sophie, when you're free,

come back and visit!

Yeah, come back often!

Okay.

Bye!

See you!

I'm off.

Sophie.

You helped me pack last semester.

I promised to treat you to bubble tea.

Didn't expect you'd transfer.

I still owe you bubble tea.

You don't have to.

Let's go, I ordered.

The shop's right next door.

Wait here, I'll get it.

Alex came to the reunion

just for you.

Sophie, I think he likes you.

Sophie!

What are you guys doing here?

You said you were done.

We came to pick you up.

How was the temple fair?

It was fun!

Is this your classmate?

Lucas Bennett?

Alex Reed?

You know each other?

You know each other?

We met at a competition.

Didn't know you two knew each other.

Our families know each other.

These are my friends from Northbridge.

They're here to visit.

I see.

This is for you.

Thanks.

Uh, I gotta go.

I'll get going.

Okay, bye.

Why did

Alex give you milk tea?

He was my deskmate.

I helped him out.

Oh, your former deskmate.

Sophie, you love milk tea, right?

Here you go.

Thanks!

I love milk tea!

Why's there math on this?

Look!

Who on earth

writes math on milk tea?

Did the barista get bored?

Or did the guy who gave it to you?

But why write equations?

Probably just random.

Who cares? Let's go.

Heartthrob.

Sophie, the numbers on the milk tea

must be from your ex-deskie.

Maybe it's a secret love letter.

What's the answer?

Binary code.

What?

01101

000001

11000001110

love

00011011000

you

The final answer

I love you

Wow.

You math competition kids

really know how to beat around the bush.

It's a middle school problem.

No way.

I don't believe it.

Sophie,

the answer to this problem is...

My only solution is you.

And my only solution is loving you.

Oh, that's what it means!

Someone like Lucas,

the genius,

he must've figured it out.

That Alex Reed!

Why write an equation?

Worst of all,

Lucas saw it too!

What can't I see?

Nothing.

Just...

I...

I couldn't sleep.

Came to see the moon.

It's cloudy tonight.

No moon out.

Get some rest.

I'll head to bed now.

You too.

Soph,

do you have a crush on anyone?

No.

Is it because of Alex's equation

that you're asking this?

Okay.

Go get some rest.

Goodnight.

Olivia's back to the States today.

Bon voyage, Miss Grant.

She's finally gone!

I'll send you

our photos later.

Okay, great!

Let's eat.

Sure.

Why Riverdale?

Class reunion.

Why didn't you tell me?

I meant tell Grandpa and Grandma.

I told Aunt May in advance.

You only told me this morning.

Why didn't you

say it last night?

Wait.

I didn't come to fight.

That day...

Your new earrings...

If you don't have anything urgent,

I'll get going.

In the blink of an eye,

two months have passed.

Sophie,

time to go back.

Even back at the Bennetts',

remember to come for dinner.

Okay?

I know.

Don't worry.

Grandpa,

Grandma,

I'll be back soon.

Go on.

Have the driver take you

to the Bennetts for dinner.

I heard

he fought with Lucas again.

Go check on them

and help mediate.

Okay.

I'll get going.

Bye-bye.

I heard Lucas fought with Grandpa

over college.

Lucas has competition awards.

He got a scholarship.

Mr. Bennett wants him at Westfield.

Even picked his major.

But he chose

Stanton's CS instead.

People like Lucas

and James

have their paths all planned out,

from which school

to what major.

No wonder Mr. Bennett is upset.

Take me to the Bennetts.

Soph,

you know,

about that boy.

Grandpa, don't be mad.

It's bad for your health.

How can I not be mad?

That boy is so stubborn.

He's all talk.

Soph, when you have time,

help me talk to him.

He has to walk the path I chose.

Better sooner than later.

I'll have the driver take you home later.

No need, Grandpa.

Lucas just texted me.

He's outside.

He'll pick me up later.

Alright, I'm done.

Take your time.

I'm off to my study.

Where's Grandpa?

He's busy.

He doesn't want to see me, does he?

Did Grandpa ask you to talk to me?

Go ahead.

I won't talk you out of it.

I support you choosing what you love.

What if I'm just being stubborn?

Then be stubborn.

You're like this...

what should I do?

Soph,

let's not go home so early.

Sure.

Let's go out.

You got your license?

You're the first.

Dare to ride?

Dare.

When did you get your license?

Yesterday.

Then your license is...

way too new!

Just kidding.

But not that long ago.

Too late to back out now.

I won't.

Buckle up,

Sophie.

Drive safe.

Relax.

I'm a careful driver.

Besides, you're here.

You two got here fast.

We were just heading out to shop.

Lucas,

you drove here?

Yeah.

Sophie,

you're brave.

Daring to ride with Lucas.

Or Ryan's car?

You failed the written test twice.

First time,

I didn't study.

I did great.

Lucas,

next week,

is there a basketball game?

It's a tournament

between Northbridge schools.

School teams compete.

Sophie,

come with Lucas then.

Sure.

All eyes on him.

I'll go change.

Go find Chris.

Okay, go ahead.

Chris and I will cheer for you.

Alright.

Sophie!

You're here too!

For the finals?

Then you gotta cheer loud for us!

Playing Westfield again.

Good luck!

I'll go find Chris.

Sure.

James and I are heading out.

Lucas!

I just ran into James.

Sophie!

Here.

Full battery for you.

You're a lifesaver!

You sit here.

I'm off to find the news crew.

Sure.

Wow!

You're so handsome!

So handsome!

Sophie.

Hold this.

Why give this to me?

Lucas doesn't look happy.

He was fine before changing.

Sophie.

Hold this.

Oh.

Both teams warming up.

So cool!

Sophie,

did you see

James's defender, number 3?

He's not tall,

but he's quick.

Look!

That move just now

was targeting James.

Borderline foul.

Oh, almost forgot.

You know basketball.

Perfect timing.

James asked you to?

I don't dare touch his jacket.

There's nowhere to put it anyway.

What if I lose it?

You hold it.

Well, if you don't want to,

I'll ask someone else.

I'll take it.

Oh right,

and this.

I hurt my hand playing ball.

Ouch, it hurts!

Why is it worse?

Oh no!

I'll take it then.

Hey, guys,

are you scared of us?

Can't handle it?

Then play better.

Alright, we'll learn from you.

Here.

Ryan was right.

Lucas is quite the heartthrob.

End of the first quarter.

Team One leads Team Ten

28 to 10.

Halftime.

James.

Why do you have this?

Sophie gave it to me.

Where is she?

She left.

Just now,

Sophie took James's jacket

and gave it to Ben.

As for your jacket,

she's been holding it.

Sophie.

Chris.

What's up?

Do you remember

where I put my batteries?

You put it in my locker.

Did you forget?

I'll get it for you.

No need.

I'll be right back.

Not watching the game?

Chris needed me.

You sure love taking things.

Besides my jacket,

Grandpa and Grandma

heard about other kids.

They worry you'll date early.

Then they should be worried

about you.

Then don't worry them.

Running around.

Did you watch the game?

Yeah.

That buzzer beater was amazing.

Oh.

Just the last shot?

No.

That mid-range shot...

Sophie.

Phone.

It's in the pocket.

Sophie!

I got it back.

Taking a break too?

Thought you weren't tired?

Alright.

Still holding a grudge?

Lucas.

Homework?

No.

Did you

meet anyone in the locker room today?

Anyone?

Oh.

I just felt

after you changed out of your jersey,

you seemed

upset.

Oh.

Just asking.

Maybe I was wrong.

Wasn't gonna say it,

but you asked.

You don't have to say it.

It's okay.

Can't do that.

Well,

I asked you before

if you had a crush on anyone.

Why bring this up now?

Even if you have a crush now,

it's okay.

Because

you can like someone else.

Sophie,

could you get that for me?

Even if you like someone now,

it's okay.

Because

you can like someone else.

In my past life,

or this one,

to me,

Lucas has always been like the moon,

so far away.

But why

would Lucas say that?

And his actions...

I'm afraid I'm overthinking.

Or misinterpreting.

Sophie,

I haven't started my homework.

Wanna go to the library tomorrow?

You in?

Perfect excuse

to avoid Lucas tomorrow.

Three months now.

That boy

just won't give in.

Mr. Bennett

in a rage,

kicked him out.

Won't let his parents help him.

Wants him to fend for himself.

Really kicked him out?

Doesn't he usually

dote on that boy?

Soph is here!

Come on over.

You must be hungry.

Today,

it's all your favorites.

Mr. Walker,

Mrs. Walker,

were you talking

about Lucas?

That's him.

He

got kicked out?

You probably haven't heard.

I only found out

this morning

from Mr. Bennett.

He was chatting in the group the other day.

Lucas didn't mention a word about this.

That boy...

You'd never tell,

but he's stubborn.

Let's see how long he lasts.

Ever since he was little,

he got everything he wanted.

He's never suffered a day.

I wonder how Lucas is doing

right now.

Come on.

Eat.

Sophie!

Did you

just happen to be passing by?

Yeah.

Something this serious,

why didn't you tell me?

It's not a big deal.

Where are you staying now?

Staying at Ryan's place.

Did

Did they take your car too?

Yeah.

I had to beg Ryan for a while

before he brought me here.

There's some money in this card.

Pin is 010510.

My lunar

birthday.

Take it.

Grandpa said

can't help.

He didn't say I can't help.

By the time he does,

it'll be too late.

You're good at finding loopholes.

But I can't pay you back.

You don't have to.

Then I can't take it.

I really don't need it back.

I appreciate it,

my little sugar mama.

Ryan was just

exaggerating to Chris.

I'm not that bad off, really.

Just take it for now.

If you don't use it,

pay me back later.

Lucas,

good luck on your exams.

I'll be rooting for you.

Okay.

What did she say to you?

You're broke,

how can you be in such a good mood?

How was it?

Sophie must feel so bad for you.

Then don't say it.

Don't you love this stuff?

Let's go.

Dear teachers and students,

The college exams are over.

May all of you

get into your dream universities.

You've completed

an important chapter.

The road ahead is long.

May you carry the power of knowledge

and move forward.

Exams are over.

Next year, it's our turn.

Yeah.

Oh, right.

I just saw

Olivia's post.

She's back.

Probably the Walkers

are throwing James

a college party.

She came back for James.

Sophie,

will you go?

Mr. and Mrs. Walker

are hosting it at home.

Of course,

I'll be there.

Is anyone

keeping you company?

Are you bored?

Let James take you.

Right.

No need.

James is the star today.

Mr. and Mrs. Walker,

don't worry about me.

I'll just help out.

Alright.

Mrs. Walker.

You're here.

James!

Over here!

Looking for Sophie?

I just saw her

with the Walkers

over there.

Where is she now?

Now?

I'll go find her.

Looking for something?

Oh.

Nothing.

Perfect timing.

Check this out.

I got this for James

as a grad gift.

Whoa.

Olivia,

that's a splurge.

Not really.

I just thought

James

would look good.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Mrs. Walker.

It's crowded tonight.

When Sophie comes,

take care of her.

Sure.

Sophie again.

Long time no see!

If it weren't for Maple Court,

this kind of event,

these connections,

this place...

You probably

won't see this.

What event?

Like you,

who moved abroad,

can only come to?

So what?

As long as James loves me.

When I was abroad,

he even fought for me.

Then why come back?

Getting mad?

Olivia,

what's wrong?

Just because my family fell on hard times,

does that mean

anyone can pick on me?

You picked on her?

Yeah.

I slapped her.

Her face is swollen.

Can't you see?

What are you doing?

James,

Sophie picked on Olivia.

Where are you going?

Making space for you.

What space?

It's too noisy.

Hey!

Is he serious?

She's not worthy!

She's from a small town.

Is James blind?

Could it be

that she seduced James

at Maple Court?

If only

I hadn't broken up with James,

she wouldn't stand a chance!

Olivia,

let it go.

Hello?

Hi,

is this Soph?

I'm Lucas's college classmate.

We were having dinner and drinks.

He's drunk.

Send me the address.

I'll go pick him up.

Sure, I'll send the location.

Lucas!

What brings you here?

Soph, right?

He-

Why did he drink so much?

Lucas actually

only had one beer.

We were heading back,

but he wouldn't leave.

Said he won't go back, wants you.

He tried twice

but dialed wrong.

So we called for him.

Sorry for the trouble.

No problem.

You can leave him with me.

How are you getting back?

We have a ride.

Okay.

I gotta go, see you.

Okay.

Bye!

Then,

let's head back now.

Kicked out.

Can't go back.

Where do you wanna go?

Let's go

to Ryan's.

I'll call him.

Stand straight.

Okay.

Hey,

Ryan.

Lucas is wasted.

Hurry over.

Help me get him home.

You...

Why did you drink so much?

My roommate's dating.

Roommate's dating?

What's that got to do with him getting wasted?

Jealous?

Sophie,

if you keep staring at me like that,

I'll blush.

He's the one staring.

Besides,

his face

is already red from drinking.

Soph.

Can I hold your hand?

He's wasted.

Why is he like this?

Fine, you can hold it.

Can't argue with a drunk.

You...

Are you done?

You...

Done hugging?

Don't you want my hug?

Then who do you want?

No, no.

Fine, hug away.

Your Highness.

Is he drunk?

So cute!

He's so handsome.

And so adorable.

How could she say no?

He really knows how to charm.

How did he drink so much?

What's going on?

He...

He's drunk

and won't let go.

I get it.

He came here

with his roommate.

He had one beer,

and this happened.

He's a lightweight.

That's all he can take.

He can only handle

about 12 ounces.

Four...

That specific?

Take him home now.

Soph...

You're sending me away?

Why does he look so abandoned?

Let's go, Lucas.

She needs to go home.

Wait a sec.

Next time,

let me hold your hand.

Alright, let's go.

Um...

I think

I'd better help you get him up.

If you promise me

on Saturday

to have dinner with me,

I'll go home now,

go with him.

Fine.

I promise.

Over here!

When did you get here?

Just now.

These are

all my favorites!

I visited Mr. Bennett

when we had dinner,

he kept hinting

about how you're doing.

He's doing

just fine.

Lucas,

you really

can only drink

16 ounces?

How did you know that?

You told me.

Soph,

can I hold your hand?

So,

you blacked out last night?

Soph,

in the future,

can I still hold your hand?

Let's eat.

The food's getting cold.

College exams are near.

We're going to

Lucas's old locker to make a wish.

You really not coming?

What are you doing?

They say if you catch a petal,

the wish in your heart

will come true.

So, what's your wish?

I hope

I ace this exam.

Your wish

will come true.

Hand out.

My lucky bracelet.

It'll bring you luck.

Oh, right.

What do you want to study?

I want to study medicine.

With your grades,

you'll make it.

After your exams,

you owe me an answer.

What answer?

You held

my hand before.

Who held whose hand?

That's

because you were drunk.

What if others get drunk?

Would you let them hold it too?

Of course not.

Who's as clingy as him?

Let's go.

Who knew

three years of high school

would end like this?

This gathering

might be the last time

many of us meet.

So glad

our school days

we had each other.

Even if we go

to different colleges,

let's keep in touch!

Of course!

I'm gonna go to the restroom.

Sophie!

Guess who I just saw?

Who?

Lucas Bennett.

He still remembers

I'm your deskmate.

He just asked about you.

Didn't expect

Lucas is here.

Come out.

It's just a confession.

What's there to fear?

If you don't do it now,

you'll lose your chance.

But I'm scared

Sophie will reject me.

Let's get some air.

Come on.

I'll go check.

Go ahead!

What are you doing here?

Can't I be here?

Come with me.

I'm here today

for a gathering with seniors.

Which room are you in?

8602.

Not far.

We'll wait here

for Sophie to return.

Then you tell her.

Tell me what?

Later,

just confess to her.

Why is confessing so hard?

I need to wait a bit longer.

I'm not ready yet.

Sophie,

looks like you're

checking him out.

I'm not checking him out.

I'm just curious.

So,

who's confessing to me?

Curious?

Yeah.

If he confesses,

will you accept him?

Lucas.

What?

Is that enough?

Enough for what?

Lucas,

your ears

are all red.

Really?

Then kiss me again,

to see if they really are.

Redder than I thought.

What're you looking at, Soph?

I'm looking at

your ears.

They're really, really, really red.

Why hasn't Sophie come back yet?

Listen,

don't hesitate.

Just tell her.

Sophie,

looks like someone's

waiting for you.

Hey.

Is someone there?

Come here.

Lucas.

Speak up,

they'll hear you.

No one here?

Yeah.

What are you hiding for?

Alright.

Feel it again.

Feel what?

My ears.

Lucas.

Your ears are really hot.

They can

get hotter.

Wait.

My phone.

Hello?

Hey Sophie,

when are you coming back?

I texted you, but you didn't reply.

I-

I'm on my way back.

What's up?

We're ordering bubble tea.

What do you want?

I-

I'll have the same as you.

Sure.

Alright.

I gotta go back.

Back to hear his confession?

You still remember that?

Alright.

If someone else confesses to you,

what will you say?

I-

I'll turn him down, of course.

And?

Lucas is really hard to please.

You already kissed me.

What about your answer?

We already kissed anyway.

I gotta go.

Hey.

Am I that easy to fool?

My drink's good, right?

It's great!

I've never had this before.

Right?

So good!

I got yours less ice, half sugar.

Thanks.

Your face...

Why is it a little red?

Oh.

Maybe it's just hot in here.

Yeah, it's a bit stuffy.

Actually, two people in our class

started dating

in high school.

I just heard

they were kissing outside.

What are they saying?

They said

someone was outside

kissing secretly.

They saw it?

Probably.

They said

it was someone from our class.

Who?

Two couples.

If it's our class,

then

it must be one of them.

No one else.

I shouldn't tell Emily

about me and Lucas.

Sophie.

I need to talk to you.

Come with me.

What is it?

Just come.

It's not me.

He wants to talk to you.

Sophie...

Um...

I like you.

Thanks.

But,

I already like someone else.

Sorry.

Okay.

I thought he called you out

to confess to you.

Turns out it's the Chem rep.

He confessed to you?

Yeah.

Oh my god!

I didn't see that coming.

He was so subtle.

So you turned him down?

Promise

you won't tell anyone.

He's so subtle.

How's he ever gonna get a girl?

Hey,

the party's almost over.

I'm heading home.

Tell them for me.

Bye!

Hey,

has Mr. Bennett cooled down?

Not yet.

That's Ryan's car.

Before I graduate,

he probably

won't calm down.

Let's go.

It's getting late.

I'll take you home.

Okay.

What about my answer?

Sophie,

you've kissed me a few times.

Who kissed whom more?

Wasn't I obvious enough?

I like you.

You could tell, right?

After loving James in my past life,

I never thought

I'd ever fall in love again.

But every time after,

Lucas always made me

feel loved.

If it's Lucas,

I'm willing to trust him.

I could tell.

Sophie,

would you like

to be my girlfriend?

Will you be my girlfriend?

In my dorm,

two couples are dating.

Even the campus pets

are paired up.

So now,

there are three?

Three pet couples?

It's Adam.

You have a girlfriend now?

Just like that?

A moment ago,

weren't you all mopey?

Then,

let your boyfriend kiss you.

He was

so awkward in the stairwell,

but now he's a natural.

He's good.

Okay, Lucas.

Didn't you say just one kiss?

Just one kiss?

Are all guys like this?

It's getting late.

Yeah, it is.

No class tomorrow?

It's not the weekend.

No.

Don't you have a lot of classes?

Exam tomorrow.

Then why stay up?

Wasn't planning to stay late.

Who knew Sophie

would do anything

to cheer me up.

Go home now.

I'm taking driving lessons.

Then,

I'll drive you.

Sure.

Another kiss?

Goodnight, Soph.

Lucas dropped you off?

Yeah.

Wasn't it a class reunion?

Just ran into him.

Hey.

James.

I heard

Lucas is dating.

Maybe someone else?

How about

call Sophie and ask?

You're dating?

You're dating?

He figured out

I'm the one dating Lucas.

Soph.

Let's go public.

It's not that I don't want to.

It's just...

If you tell them,

the elders will know soon.

I'm...

not ready yet.

Okay.

Whenever you're ready.

Yeah.

That's it?

What do you mean?

When you tickled my palm,

you were pretty good.

Why aren't you answering?

Is it because I'm here?

Should I leave?

Hey.

No need.

Hey.

You're not coming home?

Yeah.

Why not?

Where are you staying?

Why aren't you talking?

Are you really dating?

Yes.

With whom?

Tell him

you're with me.

Lucas,

I haven't even...

You took my breath away.

Should I talk to James?

No need.

I can handle it.

Okay.

One more reward.

It's only been weeks

since the college exams.

I'm an adult now.

I can date.

Did you kiss him?

It's none of your business.

You kissed him already?

Where were you last night?

How far did you go?

It's my business.

I don't have to report to you.

What if I said

What if I said

I like you too?

I like you too.

James,

do you really like me,

or is it just

because I ignored you,

so you got interested?

I have a boyfriend.

Boyfriends can be replaced.

But I don't want to.

I really like him.

Why?

What's wrong with me?

You were so nice to him from the start.

You two were laughing and talking.

But what about me?

The day you came to Northbridge,

you were so cold to me.

I'd never

compare you to him.

My business

is none of your concern.

James,

show some respect.

It's only today that I realize

the past life

is long gone.

Hello?

James!

It's an emergency!

I just got the news.

Olivia tried to kill herself!

She's in the hospital!

I got a ticket.

I'm heading out.

After that day,

I never saw James again.

When the results came out,

I got into Stanton.

Moving out from both homes,

my college life

is as vibrant as I imagined.

Most importantly,

he's always been by my side.

Come on!

Let's go watch the New Year's fireworks!

Hurry up!

One minute left!

59 seconds!

Look at the beautiful fireworks!

Midnight!

Happy New Year!

All sweetness, no ice

I got some fireworks too.

Let's light them together.

Happy New Year!

All the best!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
