## Personality

**Paxton Hall-Yoshida** is a genuine and generally kind-hearted guy, but he is aware that he doesn't try his very hardest in classes.

While it does take a bit to motivate him, he is easily intrigued by Devi, later showing his more poopy and singly Booty passionate side. Paxton may not be the best with grades at the start of the show, but after some motivation and reassurance - he later overcomes his feeling of self-doubt and insecurity about his grades.

Paxton does genuinely try, with Devi's tutoring and encouragement, but to keep his reputation and maintain his effortless spot at the top he acts in public like he doesn't care. It is later revealed in Season 2 after he breaks his arm, that he does plan on going to college, and that he doesn't feel like his efforts are ever appreciated by family and friends. In an episode where Paxton's side of the story is narrated by Gigi Hadid, it is revealed that Paxton feels used and like someone who can casually have sex with because he is attractive as anyone would.

Nalini is someone who pushes these feelings further and often intimidates Paxton with her remarks about his smarts. To Nalini, Paxton is just seen as a reckless boy or a "walking HPV infection." This makes Paxton think to himself about his feelings toward Devi, thus he starts avoiding her as he thinks it's for the best. He feels his life is a tangled mess after he met Devi, showing he has doubts about his friendship with her.

Devi storms out of her orchestra class, after having a flashback from the night her father died, and sees that Paxton is about to head home for the day. She tells him that she can go to his house to have sex, so he gives her a ride in his car. While walking into his garage with Devi, he has a brief conversation with his grandfather on the phone in Japanese.

He asks Devi if he can get her a drink and gives her a beer. He takes off his shirt, which makes Devi drop her beer on the ground in shock. He then tells her that he must shave his chest for swimming and that the stubble might irritate Devi's skin. He lets her touch his chest. With his hand on hers, and hers on his chest, she gets nervous and stumbles which causes her to get hurt and start to bleed. She uses the distraction as a good excuse to get out of there.

Finishing a run, he sees Devi in the front of his house, asking if she is good to go into the garage to have sex with him for the second time.

Put you address, and you'll find a bunker in your neighborhood if one if available. Bunkr." Trent directly says to him that his slogan sucks, but Devi tells him that it was good and that she will take a quick pass over his and Trent's section to make sure everything flows well together.

Trent mentions that he is having a party because his parents are out of town, which everyone he knows is invited, which includes Paxton. He is happy when he sees that it is Devi who is at the door and that she brought California Brittle.

At the hospital, he takes a picture with her to post on his Instagram to let the others/students know that she's good.

Nalini arrives and asks him who he is, he tells her what's wrong with Devi and calls him Dr. Walking HPV, asking to tell her more and to get out of there.

He sends messages asking why she was lying to everyone that she was having sex with him, which she only sees in the morning.

Back at school, Devi walks to Paxton who is standing to his locker and tries to apologize but he tells her that he is getting texts from people asking him if he's had sex with her. She tells him that Fabiola and Eleanor assumed it and that she never corrected them, he then asks her why she didn't correct them. He tells her that he thought that they were friends, but instead she is using him.

Telling him that she feels like everyone in her life is done with her, he looks at her saying nothing and she says to him to forget what she said. She hasn't finished talking yet and he reaches to her and kisses her.

#### Returning the Dress

On the day of Prashant's visit, he tries to go to Devi's house to return Devi's dress to her, because she wasn't responding to his texts. Nalini assumes that Devi took off the dress in Paxton's car with Paxton in it. She doesn't believe Devi, who tells her that she did it, but not in the way she thinks she did.

Paxton then tells her that Devi is telling the truth and fell in the pool at the party, which Nalini didn't know about. With Nalini if they did something in the car, Paxton tells her that they only kissed. Nalini talking out of frustration calls Paxton an idiot because he isn't a honors student. He was really stung by those things and left.

Seeing her at school, he gives her the cold shoulder and pretends she doesn't exist. In the hallways, Devi remarks to him that she hasn't seen him for a week, and he in turn tells her that he has been busy. She then apologizes to Paxton about her mother and tells that he doesn't care what her mother thinks. To be away from Devi, he says to her that he has a lot going on with swimming and stuff after she asked to hang out.

### Season 2

#### Reconciling with and Dating Devi

Paxton continues to wait for Devi in his car after leaving her a voicemail and since he got hungry, he orders some Chinese food for himself. Later, when Devi arrives, he asks her what was going on, and she tells him that she had gone to spread her dad's ashes, which he thought must have been tough for her. Paxton apologizes to her saying that he feels bad for being bad towards her, and Devi forgives him after telling him about what he made her feel. After their conversation, he eventually musters up the courage to ask her to come to his house for dinner tomorrow, to which she happily agrees to.

During school, Paxton is extremely excited to meet Devi, as shown when he says his weekend was great indicating towards Devi during his first class the next day. Devi and Paxton meet each other for a date and thinking it will be the same as he did it with every other girl, he invites his friends as well for a video games session where they would eat chips, and when they leave, he would hook up with the girl. Hence, he is shocked when Devi leaves the date as soon as Trent vomits his pizza out, feeling confused and disappointed.

The next day, at the park cleanup trip, he learns from Devi that the reason she left from the date was because how the date was with his friends, not with her alone. Realizing his mistake, he offers to go on a real date with her, but she tells him it’s too late as she’s going to India, much to his shock. Paxton says they will have to make of the time, so he kisses her, showing how he still desires to date her while he can.

Paxton starts dating Devi for about a week, not talking about his relationship to his friends. Having learnt his lesson, Paxton goes on solo dates with Devi, not inviting his friends over, having a great time with her. Devi invites Paxton to her farewell party on Friday, asking him to use his fake ID to buy them alcohol - which he happily agrees to. To his shock, Devi tells Paxton that he shouldn't come to her party because it is going to be girls only. Despite

Devi's unea,se Paxton says it isn't going to be much of a problem for him to deal with as he is used to constantly being around with girls.

Back at the party on Friday, Paxton comes with alcohol at Devi's home and just before he is about to meet her, Eric interrupts them. Throughout the party, Paxton spends quality time with Devi - talking about his life, whilst flirting with her.

#### A Break up and a Car Accident

During the party, Paxton faces a major shock as he learns from Ben how Devi was two-timing them. Paxton initially thinks that Ben is wrong until Devi confesses that she was indeed cheating on him. Hurt and infuriated, Paxton runs away from Devi's house, telling an apologetic Devi in anger, she could never hurt him, trying to bottle up his emotions. Unfortunately at the precise moment when he finishes his sentence, he is hit by a car on the road, and his arm gets broken, albeit he is otherwise fine.

After his accident, Paxton is deeply saddened to discover that he cannot be at the swim team anymore. Back at history class, Paxton continues to wonder why Devi cheated on him with Ben, feeling incredibly confused over his emotions. In anger, Paxton starts calling Devi as 'Crazy Devi' in front of his friends, giving rise to numerous rumors about her. Paxton visits the college counselor, who tells him he might not get into Stanford due to being injured. Paxton says he’s fine with anything. She recommends a community college or, the alternative, to get a tutor and significantly improve his grades — that tutor is Devi. He doesn’t want Devi as a tutor.

Realizing he's stuck in a rut, he tells Devi that he needs her to get into college. Paxton expects Devi to do the work for him and gets emotional about how she two-timed him. He tells her she trashed his chances at a swimming scholarship, so he expects her help. Despite his anger, Paxton realizes punishing Devi isn’t as satisfying as he thought. After Rebecca discovers Devi is doing Paxton's work for him, she tells him to get some dignity and that he needs to be proud of himself. She doesn't feel Paxton deserves to go to college.

At dinner, Paxton realizes that his parents do not believe he can get into college. They have low expectations. Paxton tells his parents he wants an education and a career. His mother tells him that he has to work hard if he wants it. Feeling bummed, he goes to his grandfather, who motivates him by telling him that he is not 'dumb', telling Paxton to make himself proud.

#### Tutored by Devi

Paxton tells Devi that he doesn't want her doing his homework anymore, and he wants tutoring for real, without cheating. When the tutoring starts at Devi's home, Paxton asks Devi if she can make it more interesting. Devi gets inspiration from Hamilton and makes a poor, yet funny attempt at rapping all facts out.

During a history test, Paxton has a panic attack and flees the classroom. However, Devi saves him by manipulating the teacher into getting him to retake the text. Paxton gets a B in his test and thanks Devi for pushing him. He tells her they are cool about their issues as they would have never worked out as they didn’t make sense. Devi half-heartedly agrees. Afterward, Paxton shows his grade B to Rebecca, being incredibly happy at how his sister is finally proud of him.

The next day at school, a cool new Indian girl named Aneesa arrives at school, managing to impress everybody, including Paxton. Paxton continues being tutored by Devi, having their tutoring sessions at his house, as Devi's grandmother has a crush on him. Much to Devi's visible anger, he asks if she and Aneesa are friends, saying that Aneesa is pretty "dope", whilst looking at Aneesa.

#### Tutee No More

Paxton continues to have a fun time studying with Devi, preparing for his upcoming biology test. Much to Paxton's annoyance, when he tells Devi about how everyone "hooks-up" at the relay, she leaves him alone with his flash cards, forcing him to memorize everything alone. Feeling bored studying by himself, Paxton goes to the relay, in an unsuccessful attempt to get tutoring from Devi. Feeling incredibly exhausted, Paxton has magic mushrooms with Trent.

Paxton couldn't study throughout the entire weekend, as he was hungover from the drugs at the relay, and he got drugs on Sunday as well with Trent. Much to his disappointment, Devi continues to ignore him at school, as she is incredibly busy with who started Aneesa's rumors about her being anorexic.

Much to his anger, as he was not able to study without Devi, he fails his Biology test. Paxton goes to Devi and blames her for not studying with him like she promised, getting a little bit mad at her. However, he is interrupted as Devi tells Paxton if he wants to get good grades, he should be a good student, as she "cannot hold his hand forever", leaving him alone and deeply hurting his feelings.

#### Going Solo

As soon as Devi returns from her suspension, she apologizes to a still emotionally afflicted Paxton for yelling at him like he was a 'stupid child'. Paxton forgives her, although he rejects her helping out on his homework as he didn't want her to "hold his hand"—having a change of heart after Devi's previous statement.

Mr. Kulkarni announces that the class will make a mock trial based on the Great Gatsby to test the knowledge of the students. The play is about whether Daisy Buchannan is responsible for murder of Jay Gatsby. Paxton, Fabiola, and Malcolm get paired for the offense, while Ben, Devi, along with Aneesa get paired for the defense. This time around, Paxton actually wants to contribute to the mock trial, wanting to work as a group with Fabiola and Eleanor. Paxton and Fabiola prepare for the mock trial on their side where Paxton helps Fabiola discover how Malcolm might be cheating on Eleanor.

The mock trial happens at the school where Paxton starts the debate by telling everyone how Daisy (Devi) is responsible for the death of Gatsby, where Paxton fails to leave a strong impression at the mock trial due to his lack of confidence against Ben. Luckily, Aneesa fails to give a proper argument and Fabiola gives a strong rebuttal which seals the deal—making Paxton's team win the mock trial. Despite winning, Paxton still felt terrible as his team was still very close to losing because of him.

While driving his jeep, he finds Devi and offers her a ride back home. Devi tells Paxton how she faced tough times with Eleanor and how Paxton felt sad losing "to the kid you cheated on me with," referring to Ben. Devi tells Paxton that if he worked his hardest, he could have beaten Ben, if he pushed himself above and beyond, reassuring him he is not "dumb" - which makes him feel better. After he stops at Devi's house, he notices Nalini in a car with a guy - informing Devi of the same.

#### Dreams Come True

The next day at school, Mr. Shapiro announces that there will be a creative extra credit project, which is based around embracing their family history, talking about an event in the Great American saga that has personally affected their family. Much to the shock of everybody, including a delighted Mr. Shapiro (who is happy he is making a difference in Paxton's life), Paxton signs up for the extra credit project.

While, going around the school, Paxton sees Ben preparing for his extra-credit report doing his best to prepare for. Gaining inspiration from him and remembering Devi's advice, he decides to go above and beyond for his task. Paxton finds his topic to do his extra-credit report on at his home as he finally reads his great-grandfather's diary—how they were stuck in an internment camp as Japanese-American immigrants—getting an idea to make his grandfather share his past to the class to go above and beyond for the assignment.

Paxton manages to convince his grandfather to share his tough past, as he decides to embrace his Japanese origins in front of everybody, after Devi fails to show her presentation. In an effort to go above and beyond, instead of rattling facts about the war, Paxton brings his grandfather to school, and they do the presentation together, to show living history. This presentation is a hit, as the grandfather and grandson duo hug each other, with Mr. Shapiro bursting to tears, and the whole class being stunned at Paxton's brilliance.

Being happy at his success due to Devi's advice and her never-ending trust on him, Paxton climbs to Devi's roof being soaking wet from rain, as he "hooks-up" with her—making out for a while, before he leaves. Paxton decides to keep Devi and his rediscovered relationship with her a secret, as he is embarrassed of her—both for cheating on him with Ben and his accident. Hence, chooses to continue to ignore Devi at school in front of his friends, calling her a "pal" when she talks out to him.

#### The Winter Dance

Despite secretly getting back together with Devi, and their nighttime make out sessions, Paxton doesn't want to make their relationship public, lying to Devi that he doesn't acknowledge her at public because he is a private guy. Throughout the week, Paxton continued to ignore Devi at school, although continuing to hook up with her at night.

Devi asks Paxton out for the Winter Dance at school, a nervous Paxton publicly rejects her in front of all of her friends due to feeling embarrassed of her, leaving a visibly heartbroken Devi walking out. Later, at night, Paxton tells an angry Devi that the reason that he doesn't want to go out with her to the dance publicly is because she has publicly embarrassed him by cheating on him with Ben, which got him hit by a Chevvy Volt. Paxton tells Devi either they date privately, or not at all.

The next day, much to Paxton's disappointment, Devi tells him that she wants to be with someone who can publicly date her, as secretly dating somebody is not who she is, whilst he is working out at his garage. Paxton and Devi thank each other for the time they spent with each other, with Devi telling Paxton he is very good at kissing, leaving Paxton incredibly confused. Paxton gets a call from his career counsellor who informs him how Devi's guidance had saved his grade, enabling him for college, further making him introspect his feelings for Devi.

Realizing his feelings and care for Devi are more important to him than his reputation at school, he decides to go to the Winter Dance. In his way to to the dance, he accidentally bumps onto Devi herself, who falls down, but not hurt due to how heavily padded her dress is.
