I don't understand why it's so hot. Well, a lot of people come here when they're younger so that they can go to public education, which is free. Adults don't have as many free educational options, unfortunately. Oh, if you'll excuse me, I have to teach my course soon, but you're welcome to come back when you can pay the fee. Thank you. My name is [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] 200 dollars. I need to pay for the class. It only way I get jobs [Music]. I know. I'm sorry. I don't want to be here anymore. I won't come home.

It says here you were born in 2006. You look older than 17. Uh, when I was a Samoa, my mom told me I played in certain too much. I always used to fight with my mom on sunscreen. Boy, I wish I would have listened to her. I'm out of aged more like Jennifer Lopez instead of Jennifer. Anyways, welcome to Brookside High. Oh, sorry to interrupt, Mr. Hummel, but we have a new student joining all the way from Vietnam. This is on. Thank you. Welcome on. You can have a seat. Uh, right there next to Lilac. We were just discussing biomes. Can you name a desert for me? Uh, oh, uh, cake here. Let me translate. Thank you. Oh, Antarctica. That's the dumbest answer I've ever heard. Actually, that's very good. On unbeknownst to many people, the Antarctic is the largest desert in the world.

And don't worry, you'll get it, but try to speak to me in only English so you learn, okay? [Music] You remember me, huh? I remind you? Oh, you remind me of my little sister.

You seem like a really great sister, you know that? And a really great friend. Yeah. [Music] [Music] My mom make me a lot.

oh, I miss her. Hey, would you look at that? Lilac made a friend. Makes sense since they're both weirdos. Look at what she's wearing. Why are clothes so baggy? It's as if she's trying to be 2018 Billie Eilish. Yeah, differences. Billie can actually pull it off. I don't understand. That's Divina and Frankie. They're always picking on me. Some people are just like that. Uh, don't worry. They gel it because you're more plated than them. Hey, Grandma who looks 25 by the way and is apparently still in high school. What did you just say slowly? No English. That's what I thought. Look, if you know what's best for you, you'll keep your mouth shut. [Music] Who even is that girl? I don't know, but I'm gonna find out. There's definitely something off about her. Honestly, the best thing to do is to just ignore them, but thanks for having my back. No one's ever done that before. My back, like protect me and um, okay.

I have your back, and you teach me English. Permit that sounds like a good trait to me. I'll even throw in some homemade Vietnamese food. [Music] Ain't nothing gonna hold you back. [Music] [Music] Hold you back. Wow, they've never seen it before. [Music] Thing going on. You got it like that. I got an egg. She did. Yes, I knew you could do it. Oh, because of you, my English is better now. Uh, maybe I can get a job. Oh, a job now. Thank you. Well, you've helped me a lot too. Thanks for having my back against Davina. It really means a lot to me. And, uh, lilac, I have to tell you something. My name is the world is so important. Davina, what's so important is that there's an imposter in this school. Someone here is lying to us. Do you want to tell everyone in or should I say Min? What is she talking about? According to Facebook here, this is the real Nguyen, younger sister to Min Nguyen.

do you recognize that face, man? What's more interesting is that when you look at Men's birthday, she's not 17. She's 22. So you see, men here has been posing as her younger sister, and this whole time, is this all true? But why would you lie about everything? So she can go to school here, probably to learn English for free. Either way, that's all over now. Come with me, men. You're expelled. What? [Music] Behind me, we're all gonna miss you so much. Laughs finally. [Music] Hello, men. Um. [Music] Dad played by me a plane ticket. I just won't go home, please. Hey, dinner is. [Music] I love you too. [Music] Men, I was worried about you. That's why I came to check on you. Are you okay? [Music] I'm sorry I lied to you. You probably hit me now, but I don't hate you. I mean, I wish you told me the truth, but I understand why you didn't. I was going to. I know. I remember.

Come on, we're going to my house. You steal one to be my friend. You're not my friend; you're family. And as someone once said, Yeah. [Music] Emily always helps each other. Hey, Mom. Hey, girls. Mint's gonna be staying with us for a while. Is that okay? Of course, no problem at all. Thank you for letting me stay and feeding me. Thank you for protecting my daughter. Lila told me you stood up for her. It means a lot. Come sit down; dinner's ready. [Music] Hello, sir. Man, you're back. Look, I admire your persistence, and as much as I would love to hire you, I just can't because of your English automation support engineering. See, I am more fluent now. Your English has gotten better. Why don't you have a seat? Well, here you go. If you need any help with the move, just let us know. Ah, it's so cute. Congrats. Hello, come on, you Roy dad. Very proud. I'm so happy. I hope it goes well. Actually, I was thinking instead of me coming home, maybe I can fly you all out here when you're better.

Oh, and you can meet Lilac too. Hi, you two are the same age, I guess. You're gonna have to come here to find out. You're crazy. Thank you. [Music]
