Darren being the not popular at high school while Jaren being the jock in high school was not what I was expecting, haha

[@irlsiriusblack]

hearing that Maitreyi and Jaren are best friends irl makes me ship their characters even more

You should do it with all the boys Devi kissed and ask who is the better kisser and also should do the chapstick challenge with Paxton and ben

[@VivianHoGrey13]

Maitreiyi (asking Jaren): Who is your best friend on this show? Jaren: You. *a few moments passed* Darren: Follow-up question. That hurt. Jaren: "Somebody got to take this guy what question means" HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

[@SailorV_28]

Jaren: Did you know your character was meant to be a heartthrob? Darren: Yes Jaren: So you think you’re a heart throb? 🤨 This is the equivalent of “So you agree… you think you’re really pretty?” 😂

I think they wrote their own questions

[@xia1494]

@elsalovefers I think the channel made the questions cuz they were inserting their own questions randomly when not reading the paper sometimes

[@shachisinghal8856]

Darren is so honest and diplomatic. Amazing!!!
