The Bad Boy Who Ruined Me

Episode 1

Hazel Smith has a plan: keep her head down at LA Tech, ace the math program, and stay far from trouble. Her mom isn't convinced — big-city college terrifies her, and she makes Hazel promise to avoid "bad students" or come home. That promise lasts about five minutes.

At registration, Hazel accidentally smashes a luxury watch someone left lying around like loose change. A bystander spells out the damage: half a million dollars, and the owner is Zach Lloyd — LA Tech's notorious bad boy and the son of the school's biggest donor. When Zach appears, Hazel's apology collides with his fury. Cornered and desperate, she grabs the nearest stranger and begs him to pretend they're friends.

Episode 2

Hazel's gamble — pretending a stranger is her friend — is really about survival. If her mom hears she's being bullied, she'll be dragged home, and Hazel refuses to lose everything she worked for. She introduces herself properly: Hazel Smith.

Zach Lloyd agrees to help her find the admin building, but only on one condition. Hazel agrees before he even finishes the sentence. He walks her across campus, and she thanks him just as her mom calls. Hazel plays it cool, insisting these "nice boys" were only showing her the way. Her mom's warning lands hard: stay away from people like that, remember our deal, or you're coming home. Then someone spots Hazel — "our new friend."

Episode 3

The deal comes due. Zach corners Hazel near the club, expecting her to fall in line now that her mom is gone. Hazel doesn't budge — she won't go anywhere near that place, especially not with a guy like him.

His friends are stunned: Zach Lloyd, turned down by a freshman. Zach reminds her about the watch — a $500,000 accident. Hazel fires back that she'd rather work herself to the bone than owe anything to a guy like him. She sees right through the rebellious bad-boy act and refuses to be pushed around.

Humiliated, Zach makes a bet with his friend: he'll win her over in two weeks, or his new car is forfeit.

Episode 4

Hazel meets her roommate, Viola — a hostile junior who has already sized her up. Viola sneers that Hazel is some boring math nerd from the country. Hazel corrects her: she's from Riverside. It doesn't help.

Viola's room is hosting a party, and she tells Hazel to join in. Hazel points out the obvious — this is her room too. Then Viola realizes who Hazel is: the girl who turned Zach Lloyd down. She can't believe it. The rivalry is set, and Viola isn't done with her new roommate.

Episode 5

Viola and her crowd waste no time making Hazel's dorm life miserable. First come the digs about her clothes — did she accidentally pack her grandmother's wardrobe? Hazel tries to brush it off, but the hazing escalates into a party game.

Truth or dare turns cruel when Hazel is dared to kiss someone and make it "French." The room pounces on her hesitation, taunting her — don't be so scared, nerd, it's just a kiss. Humiliated and exhausted, Hazel retreats, regretting the night she slept in the lounge. The bullying is only getting started.

Episode 6

Hazel tries to lay low, telling herself this isn't so bad — plenty of girls go without a bra. But laying low isn't an option. Someone "accidentally" bumps into her, and suddenly the whole floor is talking: looks like the good girl went from innocent to flashing everyone in public in a single day. Nasty.

Then comes the real cruelty — a public takedown calling her a pathetic piece of trash, a lowlife nobody who actually thinks she belongs here. What a joke. Hazel is left standing there, humiliated, as her tormentor walks off.

Episode 7

The harassment turns physical. Viola's crowd corners Hazel, and the taunts give way to a chase — get in the car, get running. Hazel barely escapes.

Then Zach shows up. He tells her she's braver than he thought and hands her something to put on. He offers her a ride so she won't be late for her first day, and when she hesitates about holding on, he tells her to wrap her arms around his waist. He even lets her keep his jacket. "Do you have any idea how sexy you look in that jacket?" he says. "There's a fire inside you, Smith. I can feel it."

Episode 8

Hazel reveals something she's kept quiet: her mom never let her play sports after her heart surgery, even though the doctor cleared her. So when the nerd-club jabs start, Hazel shocks everyone — she's joining the volleyball team.

Viola pounces on the news, mocking her heart condition and her poor hometown, promising to have an ambulance on speed dial. Then Hazel runs into Jane from calculus class, a fellow freshman who's heard all about the "genius math girl." Their friendly moment is cut short when Viola targets Jane too — "country bumpkin and her little sidekick." The rivalry is now a team sport.

Episode 9

Viola mocks Hazel and Jane's clothes — did they raid the Walmart clearance rack, buy one get one free? Hazel shrugs it off; she's used to it. But when tryouts begin, she finally gets to answer with her game.

Hazel plays brilliantly, and Jane is stunned — she didn't see that coming. Hazel admits she's been practicing behind her mom's back and begs Jane not to tell. The win is sweet, especially the look on Viola's face. Then Jane spots Zach Lloyd in the distance, heading toward swimming tryouts, and asks how Hazel knows him.

Episode 10

Hazel catches herself scanning the crowd for Zach and immediately denies it — she doesn't care. But the game isn't over, and the tension with Viola is still simmering.

The episode closes on a shift in attention: someone notes that a certain student rarely cares about anyone, and now he's suddenly taking notice. Glasses come out, and the question hangs in the air — what exactly is Zach Lloyd's game?
