00:01In the words of Taylor Swift, you can't spell awesome without me, along with memorable and mesmerizing and commendable.
00:11Which, like, yeah, I'll describe yours truly.
00:15Not gonna lie, my life is kind of fire. I got my girl squad. I'm class president and, also in the words of T-Swift, I never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet.
00:25I like to think the first letter of my name stands for the only letter grade I've ever received.
00:30Online. Exceptional work, as always.
00:34My life is basically perfect, right?
00:40Well, plot twist. There's my dad. It's literally all school and no fun with him. His behavior? Totally giving prison warden vibes.
00:52Then, there's my stepmom.
00:55She's got the same energy as Regina George's mom.
00:58How is that dress coming along?
01:00So, like, total opposite of my dad.
01:02But, she low-key has a drinking problem.
01:05Must have it.
01:07And low-key has a shopping problem, too.
01:09And dad's income, unfortunately, can't keep up.
01:13He works all the hours, hoping for that senior partner promotion that my stepmom acts like he already has.
01:22Swear, I think my dad's going to reach his breaking point soon.
01:32You've got to keep your focus if you want to say so.
01:36Okay.
01:37Okay.
01:40Oh.
01:42Look, Kira, you got a comment from Eric Forval.
01:46He said, my favorite TikToks are the ones with Kira in them.
01:49Huh.
01:49OMG.
01:53Guess who made $50 on her TikTok?
01:55Just for making those silly little videos?
01:58Keep it up, girlfriend.
02:04Did you girls do your homework?
02:05Your eyes should be on your textbooks, not glued to your phones.
02:10Ignore him.
02:11You girls have my go-head.
02:13Oh, no.
02:14This is deaf not looking good.
02:17We need to talk.
02:19About?
02:21You can't keep spending like I'm made out of money.
02:24I'm not.
02:25You've gone too far out of line.
02:26You're constantly running up my credit card with your lavish purchases and Uber Eats orders.
02:33You act like we have a maid who will magically pick up after you when you make a mess.
02:37Not to mention the constant day drinking.
02:40Oh, it's not that bad.
02:42Really?
02:43Sage was supposed to pick us up an hour or two.
02:45I hope she's okay.
02:47You must have forgotten the other day when you didn't pick up the girls because you were passed out drunk.
02:51What do you want me to say?
03:00This isn't the life that I signed up for, Alan.
03:02You knew from the start that I'm a gal of luxury.
03:06I just want a Porsche and a nice big house.
03:10Not this.
03:12Yeah, I get all that.
03:13And as soon as I make senior partner...
03:14Oh, God.
03:16Senior partner.
03:17I've heard it.
03:18You're taking pills with alcohol?
03:21What are those even for?
03:22I'm prepping for my surgery down in Mexico.
03:27I'm catching a flight tonight.
03:29Wait, you're just going to leave?
03:30Who's going to take care of the kids?
03:31They're grown.
03:33Anya is.
03:34Kira isn't.
03:35How could you not discuss this with me?
03:37And we can't afford another procedure.
03:39Okay, we'll just open a new credit card.
03:42Or don't.
03:43I'll just find myself a rich hunk who actually wants to spoil me.
03:47Shouldn't be too hard with my new nose.
03:54Leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room.
03:58It's about hard work, setting an example, and lifting each other up.
04:03Together, we can make this year the best year yet.
04:07Ah, applause is like music to my ears.
04:11What can I say?
04:12I radiate main character energy.
04:15Hey, you killed it.
04:16Like, you did really good.
04:19Um, I was thinking if you're free this weekend, maybe you want to come to the game.
04:22Ew.
04:22I'd rather poke needles in my eyeballs.
04:27I need to talk to you.
04:30But.
04:31Alone?
04:33Oh, okay.
04:39Bestie, what are you doing hanging out with a member of the Geek Squad?
04:43Come on, Portia.
04:44Matt and I have literally been friends since kindergarten.
04:47It's a total sweetheart.
04:49Ugh.
04:50Webs.
04:51Moving on.
04:52Huge agenda item.
04:54Party tonight.
04:55You have to come.
04:57There's going to be tons of cute boys.
04:59Music.
05:00Alcohol.
05:01Okay.
05:02Please tell me you'll go.
05:04Uh, I gotta ask my dad.
05:07Ugh.
05:07No disrespect, but your dad always says no.
05:11Can you just ask your stepmom?
05:13I mean, she's the coolest.
05:19If you ever get tired of Mr. Drill Sergeant, you're always welcome to come stay with me at
05:24my new apartment when I get back from Mexico.
05:27I love you girls.
05:29Wait, does this mean that you and dad are no longer together?
05:32Are you just trying to catch a cold?
05:34Get inside.
05:35And put on a jacket next time.
05:40So that situation is kind of complicated.
05:43Oh, come on.
05:44You have to come.
05:45I don't want to go without you.
05:47Please, please, please.
05:49Not the puppy dog face.
05:51She literally looks like that one emoji with the big sad eyes.
05:56Fine.
05:57Okay.
06:05Hey, dad.
06:14Question?
06:16Can I go out tonight?
06:18No.
06:19Ugh.
06:20Can you at least pretend to think about it?
06:21Well, I would, but according to this, someone has a math test tomorrow.
06:29But...
06:29Look, Anya, I said no.
06:30You know how important this test is.
06:36I don't know what to do.
06:37He barely lets me get two words out.
06:40Ugh.
06:41Big yikes.
06:44Shouldn't you be studying?
06:45Shouldn't you be knocking?
06:47There's a thing called privacy.
06:49Oh, and why do you need privacy when you're just doing your homework?
06:51I already did my homework and studied for my test.
06:55Anything else you want to add to my plate?
06:57Look, honey, I know you're upset about not being able to see your friends, but I'm looking
07:02out for your best interest.
07:04In order to be successful, you have to prioritize long-term goals over short-term fun.
07:09You say that as if I don't work my butt off.
07:12The library is legit my second home.
07:15I'm always spending hours there studying.
07:17I've won first place at every STEM competition I could enter.
07:26And I'm killing it when it comes to the arts.
07:40I'm literally doing everything right, and you're still on my case.
07:44I am so proud of you, honey.
07:46I promise, this is all for good reason.
07:49You'll thank me one day.
07:50Shut the door when you leave.
07:59I know.
08:00You can invite Matt over for the weekend.
08:03You two can study together, just like old times.
08:05Sneak out?
08:21I haven't done that before, but it was kind of liberating to see how Sage left without his
08:28approval.
08:29Anya Marie Blyle, are you trying to sneak out?
08:31I was just getting some fresh air.
08:37You need fresh air so badly, you have to put half your body out the window.
08:40You know better than that.
08:42And on a school night?
08:43Have all those TikToks fried your brain?
08:46Maybe I should put parental controls on your phone and a lock on your window.
08:49What?
08:50No way.
08:51This is such a joke.
08:53All I do is follow your rules to try and be the perfect daughter.
08:57It's exhausting.
08:59And I can't just go out for one night?
09:01Not on a school night.
09:02And especially not on a night before a test.
09:05Cap, you wouldn't let me go out if it was spring break or the weekend.
09:09I can't with this.
09:11You're turning this place into my own personal Alcatraz.
09:15Which is why I'm going to move in with Sage as soon as she's back.
09:21Anya, you don't mean that.
09:23Is she ever coming back?
09:37I hope so, honey.
09:40I hope so.
09:42Guess who made $100 on her TikTok last week?
09:45Oh my gosh.
09:48Wow.
09:49Wasn't it just $50?
09:51At this rate, you're going to be making more than your dad soon.
09:54Too bad we can't just skip school and become full-time TikTok stars.
09:57We'd make so much money.
10:01Do you have any orange juice or anything?
10:03Ooh, mimosas sound great.
10:06Ooh.
10:06Hmm.
10:07I could give you girls a few convincing doctor's notes.
10:12And that way, you could stay home and record TikToks.
10:15Really?
10:16Are you sure that's a good idea?
10:18Because we have the student council meeting and you're president and MVP and...
10:22Thanks.
10:23Yeah, and not to mention, we're going to have so much to catch up on if we...
10:25Frank, stop.
10:25You're killing the vibe.
10:27So what if we miss one day?
10:31Ugh.
10:33Grody.
10:34Ghost him.
10:35He's nowhere near your level.
10:36Why don't we put this phone to some good use and record some content, yeah?
10:42Yeah.
10:44Come on.
10:47Woo!
10:51Okay.
10:54Shake it.
10:55Shake it.
10:56Pop that booty.
10:58Woo!
10:59Yeah!
11:04Do we really want trashy videos of us dancing like that online?
11:08Trashy?
11:09Have you seen the videos the Bophouse post?
11:11This is very demure.
11:14What are you?
11:15A nun?
11:18Okay.
11:19Bye.
11:20Okay, girls.
11:21Woo!
11:22Yeah!
11:23Woo!
11:23Woo!
11:25Do I look as bleh as I feel?
11:37Um...
11:38It's giving...
11:39Lethargic Paris Hilton.
11:42I'll take it.
11:43On the bright side, it looks like Mama Sage gave you some really good advice.
11:47Because you're gaining, like, a buttload of followers.
11:51What?
11:52No way!
11:53Yeah.
11:53Come on.
11:55Anya.
12:02Hey.
12:02Do you have last week's assignment?
12:04It's late.
12:05What?
12:05You know, this is not like you.
12:08Ugh, he's right.
12:10I've never not turned in an assignment before.
12:12Yeah, I just have a lot going on with my parents being separated and whatnot.
12:18I'm sorry to hear that.
12:22OMG.
12:23You're like a bad rash that won't go away.
12:26I was just going to talk to Anya.
12:27Let me ask you something.
12:28Did she ever make time outside of school to hang out with you?
12:32No?
12:33It's because you're tragic.
12:35Get the hint.
12:41I'll give you an extension, but get the assignment in.
12:45We want to keep your perfect score.
12:47I'll do that.
12:49Let's go.
12:53Guess who just made $300 on her TikTok.
12:57Didn't I tell you that you're going to make bank at this rate?
13:02Give me that phone.
13:03We've got to keep this momentum going.
13:07Uh, what are you doing?
13:08You'll gain way more followers if you just show a little skin.
13:12Are those the kind of followers I want?
13:14Those are the followers that liked you shaking it and made you that $300.
13:19Trust me.
13:20Uh, what would Dad think?
13:21That doesn't matter anymore.
13:24Okay.
13:24You know my rule about phones at the dinner table.
13:33Uh, Dad?
13:34You know about this?
13:36Anya's never posted anything like this before.
13:39Who else has seen this?
13:40It's gotten thousands of views.
13:44Are you done trying to tell me how to parent?
13:47You call that parenting?
13:48You're ruining my daughter's reputation.
13:50You're overreacting.
13:51She's 18 and already making a lucrative career for herself online.
13:56She should be focusing on making a career for herself by getting into a good college.
14:02Hello?
14:09Uh, since when can we afford a shopping spree?
14:13Since you've been making serious money on your TikTok, you just passed $5,000.
14:20Wait, but isn't that my money?
14:23As your manager, I'll keep track of everything for you.
14:26If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be making this money in the first place.
14:30Look at this.
14:32This would be so cute for your next TikTok.
14:37Uh, my dad would never let me wear that.
14:40Well, it's a good thing that he isn't in charge anymore.
14:44You can pick me up at 5 p.m.
14:48I'll be right there.
14:50Head done, top notch.
14:51I'll be yours just for you tonight.
14:54You're the homie.
14:55But on Wednesday night, we'll be quick until 3 p.m.
14:58Just you and me.
15:00All it takes is 1, 2, 3, 2, love me.
15:04You're the one, baby.
15:07I don't even know what he's talking about, no momo.
15:11He's been acting funny since I put him in the friend zone zone.
15:17All the rules are clear.
15:19I'm wishing you could hear what I'm talking about, but...
15:22Yeah, it's all playing in games so someone falls in love.
15:27I think he's starting to feel me right now, yeah.
15:32I think he's starting to love me.
15:35You can pick me up at 5 p.m.
15:37I'll be right there.
15:39Head done, top notch.
15:40I'll be yours just one, baby.
15:43Yeah.
15:47Do you know why I called you into my office?
15:50I didn't even know the principal's office existed before today, so...
15:56No.
15:58I can't believe I got stripped of class president because of my TikToks.
16:03This is not who we want, representing our student body here at Bookside.
16:08Wait, so Frances is going to take over since she's VP?
16:11What a traitor.
16:14Hey, Ani.
16:15I saw you fail at your test, and I just need help getting your grade up.
16:19Desperate much?
16:20Anya doesn't need good grades anymore.
16:22She's TikTok famous.
16:24Oh.
16:27Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?
16:36Are you okay?
16:38This isn't you.
16:39You're intelligent.
16:40You're someone people look up to.
16:42Oh, great.
16:44Not another lecture.
16:45He's sounding like my dad.
16:47If you want, I could find a way to leave all your videos, and you could focus on getting
16:49your grades up.
16:51Look, I'm fine, okay?
16:53You should just worry about yourself.
16:56Ani.
16:56Ani.
16:56Oh, hi.
17:05It's about time you came to visit your mama.
17:14So, give me the scoop.
17:16Is your dad still a total stick in the mud?
17:19He's fine.
17:20Honestly, we're both worried about Anya.
17:23I came to check on her.
17:24Where is she?
17:24I set up a little paid meet and greet for her, so she's meeting all of her fans.
17:31She's fine.
17:32Can you let her go alone?
17:34Have you seen how disturbing some of the comments were?
17:40Don't worry about that.
17:43People will say anything online, but it's not like they do anything in person.
17:48All attention is good attention, because attention equals views, equals cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
17:57Where is she?
17:58Yeah, she's fine.
18:00She's totally fine.
18:01She's really fine.
18:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:16Slow your roll there, little lady.
18:19Aren't you a little young to be here?
18:20Yeah, and so is my sister.
18:23I just want to make sure she's okay.
18:25Please.
18:25She's apparently meeting some fans, and I just want to check on her.
18:28Just take me to her, and then I'll leave.
18:30Please.
18:33Make it quick.
18:35Yes.
18:35Come on.
18:54Anya?
18:58Let's go.
18:59We're getting out of here.
19:00No.
19:01Mama Sage set up this meet and greet for me.
19:05And these guys paid, like, a lot of money to see me.
19:09Go where you are.
19:10Have you lost your mind?
19:14No.
19:15You can go be a nerdy nerd with Dad.
19:18I can't believe I used to look up to you.
19:20Where's Kira?
19:37She was not supposed to spend the night here last night.
19:39Oh, I don't know.
19:40I haven't seen her since yesterday.
19:42What?
19:42And please, stop your groveling until after 11 a.m.
19:46Kira didn't come home last night.
19:48Kira's missing?
19:51A nightclub?
19:53You just let her walk out there by herself?
19:55You shouldn't even have been there yourself!
19:56I know, okay?
19:58I'm sorry.
19:59I already feel sick to my stomach.
20:02I can't believe the cops haven't found her.
20:04With today's advanced technology, you'd think they'd come up with something soon.
20:08I think I might know someone who can help.
20:23Shouldn't you be getting drunk or you're too cool for school friends?
20:27I need your help.
20:38Okay, so after analyzing the data from her TikTok engagement, I was able to narrow it down to
20:46a single user who only comments on posts with Kira in it.
20:49The username is Eric...
20:51It's Eric Forval, which is backwards, love for Kira.
20:57And the account belongs to Jeffrey Bombardi.
21:02And...
21:03Give me a second, give me a second.
21:07You have your address?
21:08Okay, let's go.
21:15The police are already on their way.
21:16I texted you and Sage the address.
21:18I will meet you there.
21:33Get down on the ground!
21:34Get down on the ground!
21:35I wasn't going to do anything bad, I swear.
21:41I've got all these balloons, you know, with the rubber chickens...
21:44Where's my little girl?
21:45And the squirty flowers to make her laugh!
21:48Anya?
21:49I'm okay.
21:56He was just really weird and willing to play games.
21:59Something about him to hide with a childhood?
22:01Can I get your statement?
22:04Thank God you're okay.
22:06I'm literally the worst big sister ever.
22:08Well, you can't take all the blame.
22:10Your mom should have been protecting you.
22:12Both of you.
22:13Get in the car, girls.
22:14Wait, whose car is that?
22:25Oh, I made senior partner.
22:27You made senior partner?
22:29Oh my gosh, Alan, that's amazing!
22:33I am so excited!
22:35We are going to be going on so many trips!
22:37Oh, and I'm finally going to be able to get that bag I've been wanting for so long!
22:42Wait, wait, what?
22:43What?
22:44What's going on?
22:45Oh, just in case you didn't know, child negligence is a crime.
22:48But don't worry, your new guy can pay your bail, right?
22:50Hey, look, I'm really proud of how you turned things around.
22:57Keep up the good work.
23:04Hey, congrats on being class president.
23:07If you have any positions available on your cabinet, let me know.
23:11I'll save you a seat at the next student council meeting.
23:12Look who got an A!
23:21Wow, hey, we got an A.
23:23Let's go.
23:27Uh, Anya?
23:29Can I talk to you?
23:30Anything you need to say to me, you can say in front of Matt.
23:34Fine.
23:35You can't be seen with him.
23:37You already deleted your TikTok.
23:38Are you trying to pump to the bottom of the social chain?
23:41Just think of all the parties you're going to miss out on.
23:44I don't care.
23:45I've realized my dad was right.
23:48In order to be successful, I need to prioritize long-term success over short-term fun.
23:53Whatever.
23:55You sound just as lame as him now.
23:56No one's ever going to be associated with anything.
23:59Yo, we heard you took down the pedo with all your nerdy Cody stuff.
24:03Honestly, man, you're giving Tony Stark vibes.
24:05It's pretty cool.
24:06Think you could teach us?
24:07Uh, yeah, I mean, uh, me and Anya this weekend are going to be coding.
24:11If you guys want to stop, bye.
24:13I'm in.
24:14Free, yeah.
24:15Sounds so dope.
24:16Hey.
24:17Oh, hey.
24:18So, I made a few bad decisions.
24:21Are you free this weekend?
24:22But, again, in the words of Taylor Swift,
24:26when you're young, you just run.
