I was just minding my own business in the convenience store when suddenly [music] a hooded guy jumped at the cashier and pulled out a gun. Give me some cash. All of it. Now, everyone started to panic except me. I'd actually been waiting for this moment. Hey, idiot. Everyone gasped as the robber turned to me. I then walked up to him while slowly removing my jacket. It's so hot in here, don't You [music] think? Back off, sweetheart. I have a gun. Not anymore. He tried to die for it, but I immediately locked him in a tight
grip and pinned him to the ground. It's jail time, baby. And that's how you catch a criminal. Hi, my name is Artemis, and I've always wanted to become a detective, just like my dad. Before I continue, MSA will give $1,000 to one lucky person who subscribes in the next 7 days. [music] Tell your friends, your sister, brother, and mom To subscribe now. As the robber was being arrested, someone approached me with a proud smile on his face. My favorite police detective, Lewis. I'd met him during a future detective [music] summer program for high school students
last year, and we'd kept in touch. You're really something else, kid. Kid, he was just 5 years older than me, but he kept treating me as his little sister. And it was so annoying because I Actually liked him. I learned from the best. If you're free tonight, do you want to have dinner with me? Would he finally confess his feelings for me? [music] The anticipation was killing me. He took me to a romantic restaurant and my [music] heart was racing. I'll get to the point, Artemis. I know that you've been waiting for this moment, [music]
too. You bet I have. We're having a big and difficult case right now, and we need your help. >> Oh, I suddenly felt stupid. Tell me about it. It's a [music] gold smuggling case, and the suspect's name is Mr. Anderson. We need some hard evidence against him. And how can I help exactly? [music] He has a son and his name is Chase. He's a senior high school student. Reckless, clumsy, and spoiled. He's looking for a female bodyguard, and she should be very attractive. So, you want me to pose as his bodyguard while spying on Mr.
Anderson, right? [music] Exactly. I need you to find where he's keeping all those gold bars. Mission accepted, officer. Dad had trained me in martial arts since I was two, and now I could finally put it to good use. Louis prepared my fake documents for the application, and luckily, I was chosen. I was so excited about this [music] mission, but little did I know that I was about to get involved in the biggest mess ever. I tried so hard to keep my cool when I Finally met Mr. Anderson. His face literally screamed danger. I was secretly
scanning my eyes around his office [music] as we discussed the job. There were surveillance cameras everywhere. It was going to be harder than I thought. I love my son more than anything. So, do your best to protect him. I'll make sure you won't regret hiring me, sir. He gave me a very thick portfolio of Chase, and the first thing I noticed was his face. It was very Attractive. Mr. Anderson told me that Chase [music] was waiting for me in this room. And the moment I opened it, I was caught off guard when someone suddenly jumped
on me. It was him, and he looked like a scared little puppy. Is everything okay? Take that disgusting little creature away from me. I looked around and noticed a cockroach crawling toward us. I immediately stepped on it and crushed it to death. Don't worry, it's gone. He finally opened his eyes And I almost dropped my jaw when we both stared at each other. He was the most handsome [music] man that I had ever seen. And I wasn't exaggerating. Just then, he jumped away from me and cleared his throat. [music] I just find it really dirty,
that's all. Anyway, you must be the new bodyguard. Artemis, at your service. Dad surely knows my type. Do you want to [music] make out? Do you want to die? Playing hard to get. I like that. I was hired to be your bodyguard, Not your girlfriend, sir. You'll still end up being one, so why waste time? He was about to touch me, but I gave him a powerful blow that sent him flying to the wall. Are you crazy? You're being paid to protect me, not kill me. Sorry, it's just a reflex. Fix your stupid reflex or
I'll tell Dad to fire you. Loud and clear, sir. I'll officially start my duty tomorrow. Have a nice night. Later that night, while everyone was sleeping, I tiptoed around the Mansion and installed some spy cameras to watch Mr. Anderson's every move. I had to catch him soon [music] and get this job over and done with. The next day at Chase's school, boys immediately flocked around me like I was a celebrity. And Chase didn't look too happy about it. Just then, he started throwing some dollar bills at them. A,000 bucks for each of you to back
off and stop looking at my bodyguard losers. And with that, they all closed their Eyes and ran away like rats in the dark. Excuse me, sir, but [music] why did you do that? I can take care of myself. I want you to focus on me. Those idiots will just distract you. There's no need to do that. [music] I'm not usually distracted by stupid things. But he just ignored me [music] and continued walking. Suddenly, he slipped on a piece of tissue paper and before he could hit his head on the ground, I caught him in my
arms. Our faces were so close, and For a moment, [music] I felt lost in his beautiful blue eyes. Just then, a pretty girl came running and screaming, "Happy Boo! What is the meaning of this? Are you cheating on me? Based on his file, it must be Vanessa, his girlfriend. On reflex, I dropped Chase to the ground. This girl is my bodyguard. She [music] was just protecting me. What a relief. I'm your one and only and forever, right, Hubby Boo? She then jumped on him and started kissing him like a vacuum Cleaner. Vanessa was clinging on
to Chase all day and kept sticking her tongue out at me. What was her problem? Later that day, Chase suddenly dragged me into the janitor's closet. I actually don't like Vanessa. [music] I just dated her because she's just so obsessed with me. I felt bad for her. And why are you telling me this, sir? Don't be jealous. Huh? I'm sorry, but I really don't get you. Forget it. I already broke up with her many times, and she's like an Annoying leech. From now on, I want you to keep her away from me. Make sure she
doesn't come near me. Copy that, sir. Later that day, I snuck into the bathroom to check the surveillance video on my phone [music] and saw Mr. Anderson enter the mansion, and then he went straight into his room. H I needed to have access there, too. On my way out, I bumped into someone. Vanessa, listen, girly. You may look tough and all, but I'm not scared of you. I need you to Stay away from my future husband, my hubby. Boo. Sorry, I can't do that. I'm being paid to be by his side 24/7. And besides, you
have nothing to worry about. I'm not attracted to him." She burst out laughing. [laughter] "Jase is the most beautiful guy in the entire universe. There's no way you're not attracted to him. Unless you're a lesbian." Omg, are you? [music] Do you like me instead? Maybe. I can't blame you. I'm perfect, but I'm sorry. You're Not my type. That's too bad because I think I'm obsessed with you. I leaned in closer and pouted my lips for a kiss. Ew. Get away from me. My little stunt was effective because anytime Vanessa came close to Chase, I made
pouty lips at her and she ran off. But I wasn't exactly celebrating. It had only been a week, but I wanted to give up already. Chase was a total pain in the butt and such a big baby. He would complain over the smallest things. One time he was Making a huge fuss about a mosquito bite. How could you not stop it from sucking my precious blood? I thought you had great reflexes. See, it's swollen. You're not going to die from it, sir. Relax. One time, he decided to skip school just to go shopping for a
new yacht. As we were walking towards the port, we bumped into some guys who looked like gangsters. And he actually knew them. It's a perfect day to break some skulls, don't you think, Chase? What do you want, Brody? Your girl. She looks like my next girlfriend. He was about to touch me, but suddenly Chase jumped in and shoved him to the ground. Don't you dare touch her, dummy. Brody went berserk. You stupid dirt bag. He was about to punch Chase, but I was able to block his fist just in time. I'd run home to mommy
if I were you. I twisted his arm and he went screaming in pain. Get her, boys. I threw a couple of my karate moves and they all fell to the Ground in no time. I turned to Chase and he looked stunned. He was still speechless even in the car. When we got home, he just sat in front [music] of me and stared at my face. Is there any problem, sir? You're the prettiest and coolest girl that I've ever met. Do you know [music] that? He lifted his hand to touch my face, and I just shivered
at the contact. You know what happens when [music] you touch me, Chase. So, get your hands off me before it's too late. Suddenly, his [music] happy face turned sad as he pulled away from me. I'm sorry. I won't bother [music] you anymore. Well, that was weird. I needed to find that secret room with the gold bars as soon as possible before things got any weirder. But whenever I had the chance, I looked all around the mansion and found nothing. One day, [music] Mr. Anderson had a business trip and he'd be away for a week. It
was finally my chance to work on [music] his room. After making sure everyone was asleep, I went to his room and while I was checking his drawers, [music] I felt someone watching me from the door. Chase, what are you doing here? I I was looking for you in the drawers. I don't [music] think I could fit in there. Oh god, I needed to distract him. And then I did the unthinkable. I walked up to him, grabbed his face, and kissed him on the lips. And worse, I kind of enjoyed it. Wo! What was that about?
I I've been Craving your lips. I knew it. No one could resist me. [music] Not even you. I guess you're right. Anyway, we have to sleep now. It's late. How could I when you just kissed me? [music] I tried getting rid of him, but he was persistent. First, he insisted we watch videos together on his favorite channel, MSA, for 2 hours. And then he even made me sing him a lullaby to help him sleep. [music] When he was finally asleep, I just found Myself staring at his face. He actually [music] looked like a beautiful angel.
Snap out of it, idiot. The next day at school, Chase did something that gave me the shock of my life. He announced [music] to everyone that we were dating. And Vanessa went wild. This girl is a lesbian and I'm the one she actually likes. She's only getting back at you because she's jealous. Chase ignored her and got on his knees instead. To my surprise, he started tying up my Shoelaces. Silly girl. What if you trip and hurt yourself? I then pulled him to the side and confronted him. What in the world are you doing? You
like me and I like you, so we're dating, right? Are you crazy? If your dad finds out about this, we're dead. Don't worry. He's too busy to even check up on me. From now on, I'll protect you and serve you instead, okay? I kept on refusing, but he was unstoppable. He was just around me all the time, and it was driving me Crazy. All he did was stare at me 90% of the time. Could you please stop that? It's freaking me out. I could stare at you forever. You're just too pretty. [music] I sometimes doubt
if you're even real. During classes, he kept reaching for my hand just to hold it. During lunch, he would feed me and just watch me eat. [music] He was acting like the perfect boyfriend, and I had no choice but to play along to protect [music] my cover. Gh, what had I gotten myself Into? Later that night, I called Louis and reported everything, including my fake relationship with Chase. I need you to stop entertaining any distractions and finish your mission ASAP. Understood. He sounded mad and it made me feel bad. I'm sorry. I'll do better. The
only place I hadn't checked yet was Mr. Anderson's bathroom and I had to do that first thing in the morning, but I woke up to see Chase smiling at me with breakfast in bed. Good morning, my love. Eat up. [music] I cooked it for you. The eggs looked delicious, so I decided to have a little taste. And they actually were. I didn't know you [music] could cook. I wanted to be a chef and open my own restaurant someday. But dad wanted me to be the next CEO of his company [music] instead. Nothing feels better than
living your dream. So stop being a loser and go for it. It's your life, not your dad's anyway. [music] I suddenly felt bad knowing that his dad was a Criminal. That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life. I [music] can't help but fall for you harder each day. He sounded so real, I almost fell for it. You're pretty good with words, aren't you? [music] I'm serious about you. To my surprise, he gave me a quick peck on the lips, and it made me blush like hell. One weekend, [music] he insisted that I
train him in boxing. When we got inside the ring, he was so hyped up. Are you sure about This? Heck yeah. But the moment I threw a single punch, he went flying like paper. I worriedly rushed up to him, but he immediately got up. I wasn't ready. But this time, I'll show you no mercy. I decided to make him win and let him knock me out this time. You cheated. You let me win. No, I didn't. He was pouting as he sulked in the corner. And suddenly, I felt bad. Fine. I [music] cheated. I'm sorry.
I'll accept your apology if you'll have a date with me. I Agreed. [music] and he took me to the park. I waited for him on the bench as he bought me ice cream. There were a couple of kids playing around and to my surprise, he called them over and bought ice cream for all of them and even gave the vendor a huge tip. He wasn't really that bad after all. And I just found myself [music] smiling. Oh no, I couldn't fall for him. I had to get rid of these stupid thoughts and focus on my
goal. The next day, I told Chase that I Wasn't feeling well, so I couldn't go to school with him. As soon as the coast was clear, I slipped into his dad's room and went straight to the bathroom. I checked every corner and space until I saw a button underneath the sink. I [music] pressed it and to my surprise, the bathtub slid away, revealing a trap door beneath it. I tried all the combinations in the passcode lock until [music] it finally opened. I went down the stairs and I couldn't believe my Eyes. The room was full
of gold bars. I immediately called Lewis for backup and while I was taking some pictures, someone suddenly smacked my phone out of my hand. It was Mr. Anderson back from his trip and he was raging mad. You little witch. Just in time, Lewis and the police barged in and finally arrested him. As he was being [music] escorted out, Lewis came up to me and hugged me. Good work, future detective. I'm so proud of you. You can even get Rid of that little punk and hang out with me again. I miss you. [music] Suddenly, someone spoke
from behind us. So, it was all about this, huh? I turned around and my smile instantly disappeared upon seeing Chase standing by the door. The hurt look in his eyes broke my heart. Chase, let me explain. No need. Congratulations on your successful mission. [music] I watched him walk away with tears in my eyes. I wanted to run after him, but I guess This was for the best. I didn't see him again, and he also never contacted me. I should be happy [music] I was done with him, right? Wrong. It kept on bothering me a lot.
One day, Louisis took me out for dinner and I was expecting him [music] to give me another case, but he completely surprised me by saying, "I like you [music] a lot, Artemis. Will you be my girlfriend?" I had been waiting for this moment. I should be happy. But why was I thinking about Chase? I'm so sorry, Louis, but I think we're better off as friends. You like someone else, don't you?" I just bowed my head down and smiled. It didn't matter now because I'd ruined his life. Two years had passed and I was finally studying
criminology at university. [music] One day during lunch, I decided to try the new restaurant around the corner and I was shocked to see who the chef was. Chase, it's so nice to see you here. How are you doing? I'm doing [music] great. I took your advice and here I am. He looked even more handsome than [music] before. I didn't know what to say. It's really good to see you, Artemis. You, too. I wanted to hug him and tell him that I missed him, [music] but I couldn't. He then excused himself and walked up to a
familiar girl who had just entered the restaurant. It was Vanessa, and they were hugging sweetly. I felt so jealous. I [music] just got up to leave. As I walked out of the Restaurant, I felt, "Hi, I'm Tiana from Russia. Please like and subscribe. My mom gave birth to two identical twins, me [music] and my sister Mila. Unfortunately, we were only a month old when my parents divorced. Mom took Ma to the city while I stayed in the village with dad. Dad was my only friend because growing up, I was super shy and preferred to read
and write stories in my journal than play with other kids. Are you sure you want to spend another Friday night alone, sweetie? [music] Don't worry, Dad. I'm fine. Aren't you happy I'm not going to any wild parties or dating any boys? Then one day when I was 16, I got a strange visitor. Hi, Tiana. Oh, you're all grown up now and so beautiful. Uh, thanks. Do I know you? Wow. I guess your dad never mentioned me [music] much or kept any pictures. I'm your mom. You're [music] joking, right? But she wasn't. Instead, dad came over
and the Two of them sat down with me in the living [music] room. All right, I let you come over because you said you had an emergency. So, what's going on? It's Tiana's sister, Mila. She's a model and makes a lot of money, but she started struggling with mental illness and suddenly quit. Now, if she doesn't complete her contract, we'll be sued for a crazy amount of money. Tiana [music] has to fill in for her. No one will know. I may have to trim her bangs a Bit, though. Wait, what? This is the emergency? What
a stupid and twisted thing to ask your daughter that you haven't seen in 16 years. Get out of my house right now. [music] They started arguing and I didn't know what to do. So, I just slipped out of the room and tried to calm myself down, but [music] mom just wouldn't give up. And the next day, she made me a crazy offer. Your father mentioned you write stories and that it's your dream to become a famous Author. What if I told you I knew an agency that could [music] publish your work and pay you a
fortune? How could I say no to something like that? After that, I convinced dad to do the modeling contract and finally he agreed. So, I moved to the city where mom and lived in a mansion. Mom greeted me at the door and hugged me tightly. I [music] still wasn't entirely comfortable with her, but it was nice to feel welcome. You'll meet Mila later today. [music] Uh, she Doesn't leave her bedroom. She even has dinner there. You mean I'll only see her if I come upstairs with you? Doesn't she ever leave the [music] house? Mom didn't
answer. She just snapped her fingers and ordered some servants to get me settled in my room. God, this place was so different from [music] what I was used to. And I was curious to meet my mysterious sister, too. That evening, I was reading in my room when I heard a scream outside my room. I went into the Hallway to find the maid covered in food. That's when I also saw mom and I told her I wanted pizza for dinner, not these soggy vegetables. Of course, baby, our mistake. [music] But pizza's not good for you right
now. We'll get you the tastiest salad ever. I I'll give you a raise. All right. I can't have another [music] servant quit because of her. You always do this, Mom. I don't want a salad. If I don't get a pizza right now, I'll take all of your gold jewelry and Give it to the neighbor's dog to chew on and then throw up. Excuse me, but don't speak to your mom like that. And you certainly didn't need to throw food at your maid. This is my twin sister, Mom. She has a lot of nerve for a
house guest. [music] Also, we may look identical, but her skin is way more blotchy than mine. You should tell the photographer that beforehand. Jeez, this girl was something else. I went off to bed after that, and mom told me not to Take Ma's behavior personally. I just want her to be happy and healthy. The next day, I arrived on set when suddenly, I noticed everyone glaring at me and whispering angrily, "What was going on? Hey, why is everyone here giving me dirty looks? Did I do something wrong? Gh, you're here. I thought you quit after
you humiliated me in front of thousands of people. Also, you bullied every single person on set since you started working here, Mila. They were hoping they'd never see you again after you left. What? [music] I bullied everybody here. And what did I do to you? I mean, I didn't take my meds this morning, so I forgot what happened. [music] Can you remind me? Gh, give me a break. Mila had apparently done a lot of horrible things because every person around me acted like I was some kind of monster. I called mom and told her what
had happened. You must have spoken with Vlad, Mila's coworker and ex-boyfriend. She dumped him publicly during an acceptance speech for an award show and said some mean things. Just focus on your work, honey. He's not your problem. I knew mom was right. So the next day, I ignored all the death stares and kept to myself. But later that afternoon, Vlad and I had to do a photo shoot together. [music] The photographer was about to start when suddenly she started freaking out. I cannot work like this, Vlad. How much weight did you gain? The costume Designers
worked really hard and you h forget it. I'm requesting a [music] different model. What? Why? We've been rehearsing this for weeks and I haven't gained any weight. He really does look great. Maybe his suit just has to be tailored a bit. The photographer wouldn't listen. And Vlad stormed [music] off with tears in his eyes. Vlad, don't listen to that photographer. You're in great shape. I don't get why she had to be such a jerk. [music] Well, she wasn't totally wrong. I have put on a little weight. I'm surprised you didn't make fun of me about
it. Have I made fun of your body in the past? Uh, you made fun of it in front of thousands of people during your award speech. You said you were dumping me because I didn't have abs anymore. Wow. Well, I'd like to apologize for that. The truth is, I think you're really brave for doing a job like this. I hate having my picture taken. I mean, even though I'm a Model, uh, the point is, I'm sorry. Oh, okay. I really didn't expect an apology from you. We're still [music] broken up, but thanks for that. After
our talk, Vlad was nicer to me, [music] which made my job a lot easier. One day, I headed to the den to watch some TV when I saw Mila sitting on the couch. What are you doing here? What do you mean? This is my house, isn't it? Yeah, but I thought you never came out of your room. I don't. But my room doesn't have a TV. And I Like watching my MSA videos on a big screen. [music] You watch MSA, too? They're my favorite YouTube channel. Their stories are what inspired me to become a writer.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't care. You can watch with me as long as you keep your mouth shut. I decided to take the opportunity to spend time with [music] Mila. She obviously had some issues and I was curious to know more about her. As we were watching videos, Mila's [music] Phone suddenly rang and she looked annoyed. Why is Vlad calling me? My heart started racing as Mila answered the phone. Apparently, Vlad had called to ask her out to coffee. He said he's glad we're getting along better lately and that I seem happier and healthier. Did you
flirt with him or something? What? No, we're just friendly co-workers. Listen to me. At your job, you're not Tiana. You're Mela and Mila doesn't want you talking to Vlad at all. I still love him. You love him and yet you dumped and publicly bodyshamed him. Look, I'm not interested in your ex-boyfriend, but I'm allowed to be his friend. He's [music] not your property, and he deserves to be around someone who doesn't mistreat him. I left before Mila could answer. [music] And the next morning at work, I told Vlad I was sorry if I was rude
to him on the phone and that I was happy to hang out. I really don't have time for your games, Mila. I'm not playing games, dude. Just whatever you do, don't call or text me on that number again. I got a new number. I convinced Vlad to let me buy him coffee. [music] And as we were walking to a cafe, I saw a lady come up to us with a little girl behind her. I'm so sorry to bother you, but my daughter is a big [music] fan, and I wanted to say hi. She's just a
little shy. You don't have to feel shy. I'm just [music] a normal girl at the end of the day, Like you. Did your mom buy you this pretty scarf? Actually, I got it as [music] a present from my agency. Do you want it? I think you'd look even better in it than I do. [music] No, we can't possibly accept that from you. Mila, that scarf costs thousands of It's okay. Really, I want her to have it. The [music] girl was stareyed and her mom thanked me over and over. Wow, I can't believe you just did
that. You've changed a lot during your vacation, Haven't you? Are you in therapy now or something? I guess you could say that Vlad insisted on buying me coffee instead of the other way around. And I even got some free pastries since the cashier was also a fan of Ma. I was living like royalty pretending to be her. [music] And my life as a model just kept getting better. I was getting huge business deals because everyone was amazed at how Mila had apparently made [music] a comeback. But my success drove My sister totally wild. You're just
living your perfect life, aren't you? Oh, no. Wait, you're living my life? The only reason I'm even here is because you sabotaged your career with your awful behavior. Mila just threw a pillow at my head and walked off. What a brat. As more time passed, I also started hanging out with Vlad [music] and we became really close, but I was always hesitant to tell him about my real identity. One night, [music] he walked me home and When we arrived in front of the house, he took my hand and I felt my knees go [music] weak.
I had such a lovely day with you. You seem a lot happier and healthier lately. Or maybe I'm just seeing [music] a different side of you. Suddenly, he leaned in to kiss me. And I found myself pulling away. Vlad, I'm sorry, but I can't [music] kiss you. What do you mean? I want to give us a second chance cuz you're the [music] new you. I know. I know, but things with me Are more complicated than they look. I have to go. I'm sorry. I quickly snuck inside the house, but when I [music] closed the door,
I saw Mila leaning against the wall and she looked enraged. I saw you two from my bedroom window. Tiana, I told you to stay away from Vlad. I know we haven't grown up together, but you're still my sister, and sisters don't steal each other's boyfriends. I'm not stealing anything from you. He tried to kiss me, and I Refused. But if you still love him, you should reach out and apologize. >> [music] >> Do you think I haven't done that? He won't take me back, Tiana. I know it doesn't look like it, but I am trying
to work on myself and become a better person. [music] Hurting Vlad was the biggest regret of my life. I didn't know how to respond to that. And as I lay in bed, I felt torn about what to do. I did have feelings For Vlad, and Mila had [music] been horrible to him, but I still didn't want to hurt her. So, the next day at work, I told Vlad I only wanted to be friends. But why? Is there something you're not telling me? It's just that suddenly I saw something that made me forget what I wanted
to say. The director was [music] putting an envelope next to my purse and it had my name on it. I left Vlad right away to see what it was. Excuse me, what's in this bag? The menu for your New diet. You have a photo shoot coming up this month and you need to drop some weight. What do you mean I have to drop [music] some weight? This diet is insane. I could get sick. That's ridiculous. We've given you this [music] diet many times and you were fine. So, can you do your job and follow this
diet or are you going to go crazy and have a mental breakdown again? I felt like the grounds beneath me had collapsed. This was how the agency had treated Mila when She was here. No wonder [music] she'd been struggling. I had to see her right away. I went home and knocked on Mila's door, but there [music] was no answer. Then, suddenly, I smelled something weird coming from underneath the floor. So, I opened the door and my heart dropped. Mila's entire bedroom was covered with dirty plates and there was food under her bed that she'd snuck
in from the kitchen. At that second, Mila's bathroom door opened. Oh my god, get Out. This is a total invasion of privacy. Mila, what is [music] all this? The director gave me the diet menu today, and she said she's always given it to you whenever you put on weight. But now, [music] I think you have an eating disorder. My eating disorder led to my [music] breakdown. I thought it was a harmless diet, but they kept telling me that I was still too heavy. So, I started starving myself, [music] but I'd get hungry and stuff my
face. And the pressure to look perfect got to me. And then I projected my own insecurities onto Vlad. Tiana, I was never jealous of you. I just didn't want you to suffer like I did. Oh my god, I had no idea. I am so sorry. But it doesn't excuse my behavior. It's turned me into a monster. I hugged [music] Mila tight and let her cry for a while. And after that, we went straight to the agency to take care of business. [music] But when we arrived, mom was there. And When she saw Mila, she freaked.
What is she doing here? Tiana, I came here to help you sign a contract for a new business [music] deal. We could get into huge trouble if someone sees you two together. Forget it, Mom. I'm not filling in for Ma anymore. I'm done. You care more about money than you do your daughter's health and well-being. This agency totally mistreated Mila and the other models. And if I stay any longer, I'll go down the same dark path she did. Oh, Tiana, don't be overly dramatic. Mila's breakdown had nothing to do with the agency. Mila was about
to answer when we heard footsteps [music] behind us, and when we turned around, it was Vlad. I hadn't spoken to him since the other day. His eyes got huge as he stared at Mila and [music] me. Mila, you have a twin? >> Actually, I'm not Mila. My name is Tiana, and I've been secretly filling in for Mila since last month. She didn't Want to continue modeling, but they were going to sue us, and she quit before her contract ended, and it was her you've been hanging out with this whole time. I [music] I don't understand.
So, you both lied to me and the whole world about all this? It wasn't our choice. It was [music] Vlad walked away before I could finish, and I was devastated. I wanted to go after him, but I had to take care of other things first. >> [music] >> I called dad right away and with his help, we filed a lawsuit against both the agency and mom for mistreatment and [music] fraud. Dad got custody of Mila and got her the therapy she needed and I was still able to get my stories published. But our little switcheroo
was all over the news and Vlad was my thumbs flew over the controller at lightning speed as I battled my coworker Andy while everyone else cheered from the sides. >> How did you get that level up? Where have you learned these moves? from the deep dark [music] corners of the internet, my friend. And I'm about to own your butt. With that, I unleashed my final secret move and blew up the enemy. You're a loser. I'm a winner. Your mama's [music] buying me chicken dinner. Suddenly, there was pin drop silence. And I turned around to face
the dragon store manager, aka Andy's mom. You have 10 seconds to clear up this mess and get Back to your jobs, or you're on fire. Hi, my name's Ellie. I'm a computer expert, gamer, hacker, and overall topnotch geek. I led a very exciting life in the virtual realm. But in the real world, my life was pretty average until one day everything changed. Yeah, we say that a lot around here, don't we? But before I continue, please like and subscribe. Ever since [music] I was a kid, I was obsessed with computers. And by the time I
was 12, I was writing Code, developing software, and even [music] doing some basic hacking, and I was addicted to video games. I thought I was cool, but that was not a popular opinion. By the time I reached [music] high school, I was pretty much used to having a seat at the outcast's table, and things weren't much different at home. I was raised by my single mom, who was my polar opposite. She was a social butterfly who loved throwing lavish parties for her wealthy friends and was Always trying to set me up with her sons. A
nightmare. Mom, can I go to my room? I ate too many dumplings earlier. I don't feel so good. You're not fooling me, Ellie. See that boy over there? He's single and very rich. Go talk to him. >> That boy played football at my school and he was surrounded by some popular girls and I walked over. Hi. Uh, I uh Oh, God. save yourselves. Then I threw up all over the boy in the head cheerleader. Of course, I was a laughing Stock in school the next day, and I started hiding out in the library. [music] One
day, I was playing a game when I got an invite to a virtual treasure hunt with a [music] huge cash prize. The disclaimer read, "Only super smart, hardcore gamers need apply." It was like someone was describing me. I breezed through each challenge, but when I got to the last level, my computer suddenly froze, and then it became lifeless. No. [screaming] But this was just the beginning of a series of unfortunate events. Soon after my 18th birthday, [music] mom suddenly fell really sick. The doctors ran a million tests and gave her [music] expensive treatments, but nothing
was working. And we had a ton of medical bills we couldn't pay because mom's credit cards were all overdrawn. We're poor and I'm sick. Find a rich man so you can have a good [music] life. >> How am I supposed to do that? Boys don't Even notice me. >> We're poor. Find a rich man. A rich man. Find my daughter. What did [music] I say? >> Daughter. Find rich my man. I mean um find a rich man. And then [music] my mom slipped into a coma. My life turned around 180°. I had [music] no idea
when mom would be okay. I was drowning in debt. My grades were suffering. And I felt so alone. [music] But then one day, as I was leaving my work shift, a Strange man came running to me and shoved a device in my hand, then fled the scene. >> You've been selected for a top secret mission. This message will self-destruct in 30 [music] seconds. >> I read the details fast. I'd make a ton of money and work with computers and security systems all day. Was this for real? My life was at rock bottom anyway, so it
was worth finding out. [music] I accepted and a second before the time Ran out, I tossed the device into the air and it exploded. What in the Mission Impossible? And the next day, I was whisked [music] away in a private jet to a state-of-the-art facility with a dozen computer geeks. All day we worked on hacking software, computer codes, and sophisticated simulations. We were given board and lodging, too. [music] And for the first time, I was with people I had something in common with. A week later, I was busy working at my desk when this Guy
a few years older than me walked [music] in. And I felt like the Matrix had glitched, like I was Ellie in a parallel dimension where it [music] was possible for Ellie to fall in love with a boy at first sight. And he was like a young Keano Reeves, but with spectacles, so hot, I don't remember the part where I floated [music] away from my seat, but suddenly I found myself standing in front of him. >> Can I help you? >> Uh, maybe I can [music] help you. I'm very helpful. Help me help you. >> What?
>> Sorry. Let me Ow, I just poked myself in the eye. Uh, let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Smelly. [music] I mean Ellie. It's short for Elanor or Elena or Elaine. I extended my hand and as he shook it, I screamed. >> What? What happened? >> Oh, it's not your fault. That was just a very firm handshake and I have a very Low threshold for pain. Like really? I once fainted when an apple fell from a tree and hit my head. It wasn't even a hard apple. Like it was rotten and squishy, but he walked
away while I was still talking. That's the head of the company, girl. Oh my Gigabytes. [music] This demigod was my boss. His name was Liam Finch. He could solve any problem, [music] crack any code, and he looked amazing while doing it. I had such a giant stupid crush on [music] him. and I Couldn't help recalling mom's words about finding a rich man for a better life. Liam looked and smelled expensive. [music] I had to get him to ask me out, and I turned to Ask Brain, too, for helpful tips. [music] The next day, I turned
up to work in a tight, short dress, and I'd made sure to apply plenty of tanning lotion to look like those gorgeous models I'd seen online. All eyes were on me, and I was sure to have the same Effect on [music] Liam. Before we start this meeting, I have to ask Emmy. Are you having a reaction to something? >> Emmy, speak up. Whoever you are, the boss is asking you something. Oh, wait. You meant [music] me. It's Ellie. And uh, no, I'm good. >> I think you should go to the bathroom. There's some anti-allergy medicine
in the first aid kit there. >> This wasn't the reaction I'd expected, but when I looked at myself in the Mirror, I screamed. The tanning lotion had turned so orange I looked like a radioactive carrot. The next day, I came to work wearing huge fake eyelashes. But those stupid things made my eyes feel heavy and I couldn't stop blinking. Later in the cafeteria, one of my co-workers came up to me as I waited in the lunch line and he had some ketchup on his upper lip. >> Hey Ellie, I I saw you in the meeting
today. >> Um, okay. I saw you too, buddy. But first, you got something right here. Out of nowhere, [music] the guy pulled me close and planted a moist kiss on my lips. I pushed him away and punched him hard. >> Ellie, what the heck? First, you keep winking at me all through the meeting and then you asked me to kiss you and [music] then you hit me. >> Excuse me, what? He kicked up a huge fuss to Liam about being assaulted and Then he quit. >> That was one of our best coders and you've made
him leave. >> Well, he hit me first. Like, I mean, he was hitting on me and it was gross. Are you sure? Why would anyone want to hit on you? >> Um, why wouldn't anyone want to do that? But Liam just walked away without replying. [music] A couple of days later, Liam threw a small farewell party for his secretary, Jessica. She was so Annoyingly modelike, and I couldn't be happier to see her leave. Hey, Jesse. I'm really sad you're leaving. Want me to help you pack? I'm very helpful. Uh, wait. Isn't that a company paper?
Wait. No, it's mine. I brought it from home. I'm pretty sure it belongs to the office. But hey, it's just a paper weight. Are you calling me a thief? Why don't I just take that from you? We won't mention this to anyone. Give it back to me, you It's not [music] Yours, Jesse. You're robbing the boss blind. As we both pulled at the paper weight, I suddenly lost my balance and let go, and it went flying straight into Jessica's perfect fake nose. >> Emmy, what's the matter with you? Do you think I care if my
secretary takes a useless paper weight from the office? >> I was just [music] trying to do the right thing, sir. >> The right thing would be to stop injuring my employees. >> The next morning, I gave myself a pep talk in the staff room before work. Okay. The last few days have been bad, Ellie. [music] But today is a new day to show everyone what a cool, brilliant chick you are. You got this, girl. Now, show yourself some self-love. I [music] kissed my reflection, but when I opened my eyes, I was horrified to see Liam
standing behind me. >> Can you please keep things professional and practice your makeout skills in Private, which I, my dad, need a substantial amount of work. Jeez. >> What? No, no, no. That's not what it was. Oh god. This was almost as bad as the day mom went into a coma. The next day, while I was busy coding, I couldn't help thinking about my makeout skills. I turned to my trusty adviser, Google. But when I opened up the first blank, some kind of virus popped up on everyone's [music] screens. Your system is under attack and
will be immediately Destroyed. Goodbye. And then every screen went blank. There was a wave of shocked silence across the [music] room. >> Who the heck opened an insecure link? >> I felt about as small as an ant. I am so sorry, Liam. It was a a small error of judgment. Small error. Your small error may have catastrophic [music] consequences for our national security. >> Sorry, what? I thought this was a private security company. >> I recruited people I believed I could Train to be the very best [music] because every code we write and every firewall
we construct has massive [music] importance. But you've caused a major breach. And now I have to fix [music] your mess. And I was clearly wrong about you. You don't belong here. Pack your things. You're going home tomorrow morning. And it's not Liam. It's Mr. Finch. >> I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach. This place was the most at home I'd ever felt, and I'd really screwed things up. The next morning, I was going to the office to turn in my employee card. When I stopped short, the building had been sealed and was surrounded
by police officers, and my co-workers were being arrested. They slipped away quickly, my heart racing. What the heck was going on? The only thing I could think of was finding Liam if he hadn't been arrested already, too. I made my way to his place and rang the buzzer a Few times, but no one answered. Then I overrode the code of the security lock and the [music] door clicked open. I'd just taken a few steps in when someone leapt at me and pushed me to the ground. And I found Liam on top of me with a
chopstick. >> Emmy, how did you get in? And why do you know where I live? It's a top secret location. We we sell that lock at the store where I worked at before, so I'm very familiar with the software. And I Uh hacked your smartwatch to track your whereabouts a few weeks ago, just for fun. I swear. See, smart watches aren't actually that smart. They should be kind of called dumb watches. Also, were you going to poke my eye out with a chopstick? >> Get up. Why are you even here? >> Because I went to
the office and everyone was getting arrested. >> Well, it's all your fault. >> What? Since our security systems were Down after you downloaded that virus, something invaluable was stolen from us last night. And now we're all in big trouble and I have to go into hiding. >> You You're leaving? Will I ever see you again? >> Unlikely. You've ruined everything. Just go home. >> Look, Mr. Finch, this is ridiculous. There are plenty of problems in your security system that I've been studying for the past few weeks, and someone Would have figured those out sooner or
later anyway. So, stop blaming me and please tell me what's going on. Also, why is it so hard for a genius like you to remember that my name is Ellie? Liam looked surprised at my outburst and just as he was about to speak, we heard cars screeching outside. >> The police are here for me. I got to go. >> Whoa, whoa, wait. I'm coming with you. I can't survive jail or torture. I told you I have a very low threshold for Pain. >> Oh god, just shut up. >> Liam grabbed my hand and led me
to the kitchen where he opened a trap door in the floor and started climbing down and I [music] followed dark narrow spaces. I hate dark narrow spaces. I'll die if a mouse [music] jumps on me. >> We ran through an underground passageway, climbed up another ladder and out of a gutter hole and onto a main street several blocks away. Liam dashed Towards a car, and we jumped in. But just as we were driving off, several police cars came to a stop in front of us. Wow. We managed to escape for all of 2 minutes. Okay,
Mr. Finch, Liam, whatever. If I never see you again, I just want to say that you're the most beautiful. Suddenly, Liam hit the pedal hard and started driving in reverse like a maniac. Oh my god, what are you doing? I'm too young to die. I've spent all my life behind computer screens. I haven't Seen the world. I've never even been on a beach. You know what? I'll go to jail. You can drop ME OFF ANYWHERE CONVENIENT. [screaming] Liam took a sharp turn into a street, avoiding a truck by half an inch. He turned the car
around 180° and started driving even faster. I saw two black cars hot on her tail. >> Emmy, I need you to get a freaking grip and tell me the coordinates of the city's main bridge. We're going to be jumping off of it. You can swim, right? >> Of course I can't swim. I'm terrified of water. That's why I've never been to a beach. We're not jumping off any bridge, you psycho. >> Can you please do what I'm saying and just trust me? There's a life jacket under the seat. Strap [music] that on and find me
the bridge now. >> With shaking fingers, I located the bridge and fed the coordinates into the car's GPS. >> Undo your seat belt and when I say go, [music] open the car door. Your seat will automatically eject and you'll land in the water. Don't panic. You're wearing a life [music] vest and I'll get to you quickly. You ready? I've never been less ready for anything in my life. >> Okay, then go. >> Liam swerve the car off the bridge and into the air. My seat ejected immediately and I landed head first into the water. Before
I could panic Completely, Liam swam over to me swiftly, grabbed me by the waist and pulled me onto the shore. We ran down some docks where Liam found an unlocked car and we sped away in it. I was too shocked to even speak anymore. Liam drove us out of the city to some abandoned warehouse where we were let in by an elegant older woman. >> Hello, Agent Skywalker. I was expecting [music] you to be alone. >> So was I. Agatha, trust me, this wasn't Part [music] of the plan. >> All right. All right. I've had
enough. Can you tell me what's going on, Agent Skywalker? Liam finally told me that he was a CIA agent who had been assigned the task of recruiting a special security team to protect the government databases [music] and national secrets. >> But there's another CIA agent who has gone rogue. And yesterday she broke into our facility and stole the key to a new weapon [music] the government's Developing. And she's framed me for the theft. Now everyone thinks I'm a traitor. Luckily the key is heavily encrypted. But [music] someone will break the code soon, and I have
to get it back before they do. It's the only [music] way to clear my name. That's why I couldn't let myself get arrested. And Agatha here is an old friend. [music] She's the only one I can trust right now. >> So, what's the next plan of action? >> I have a fairly good idea where the rogue agent took that key. [music] So, I'm going there, and you will stay here. Look, I can hardly believe I'm saying this after the horrible day I've had, but I think you should take me with you. I'm a really good
coder and hacker, and I [music] can help. I'm very helpful, actually. I just haven't had a chance to >> Okay, then let's go. >> What? Now? I thought you'd offer me some food first, and I wouldn't mind a nap >> now. >> Wait, Agent Skywalker, aren't you forgetting something? >> What? >> You know the thing, [music] >> Agatha? I really don't have time for riddles, so just say it. >> Okay, you're forgetting your lucky underwear from your Star Wars collection. The one you always wear before an important mission. >> I looked at Liam's face and
burst out Laughing. [laughter] Lucky underwear. Oh my god. Oh jeez. I think I peed my pants. [laughter] Oops. I really did. Um, can I get some underwear, too, please? According to Liam, [music] the key was in a highly secure facility inside a toothpaste factory. The only way we could get in was to wear employee uniforms and hide in the back of one of the company trucks, [music] taking some supplies Inside. Dark, confined spaces. I hate dark confined spaces. >> Why don't you try distracting yourself? >> Sure. Why don't you help me do that? Why was
Agatha [music] calling you Agent Skywalker? Because of your lucky underwear. >> It's just one of my many names. >> Is Liam [music] your real name? No. >> So, what is your real name? >> I'm obviously not going to tell you. >> Okay, then. Do you tell your girlfriends Your real name? >> Depends. [music] I haven't dated in a while, especially after what happened with the last one. >> Why? What happened? >> None of your business. >> Let me guess. She couldn't put up with your cold heart anymore, or she found out you're lying about your
identity and thought you're a cheater. Oh, no, wait. I've got it. Some enemy of yours killed her. >> [laughter] >> Liam went quiet and my heart suddenly sank. Oh my god, no. She really died. >> I couldn't save her, Ellie. >> I'm sorry, Liam. I'm so sorry. That's so tragic. And it also explains why you're a cold-hearted robot now. I mean, this kind of stuff changes a person. >> Jeez, why are you so gullible? I'm a CIA agent. I'm trained to convincingly lie about anything. >> That was a joke, dude. That's just mean. Well, if
you still want the Saab story, she did betray me. My ex is the rogue agent, and she's the one who [music] stolen the key and framed me. Are you happy now? >> Oh, wow. That's a lot. So, how do you feel about it? [music] >> Like, I just want you to be quiet now. >> I silently processed everything I just heard, but after a few minutes, I started feeling anxious again. I wish I was special. So very special, but I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What am I doing here? I don't belong here. >> Please,
please stop. You're sucking up the limited oxygen in here. >> You're not the boss of me. Well, you were, but then you fired me, remember? And since you won't talk to me, I'm going to sing. How you going to make me shut up? Huh? I can think of at least One way. >> Suddenly, Liam moved closer and put his hands on my face. Oh my god, was he [music] about to kiss me? Just then, the truck jolted to a halt and Liam pushed me away. Rude. We quietly slipped out and made our way to the
entrance. We [music] scanned the fake IDs Agatha had given us, and we were inside the building. Liam had the building's blueprints, and he led the way to the surveillance room. We peeked inside [music] to see a security guard observing the screens and Liam quietly crept up to him. [music] Just then, my nose started itching like crazy, and I tried desperately not to sneeze. The guard turned around and Liam punched him hard in the face, then stabbed him with a tranquilizer. >> Why do you [music] look like you're going to be sick? I've only put him
to sleep. >> Oh, I know. I'm just terrified of Needles. I think I told you I have >> Yeah. Yeah. A very low threshold for pain. I remember. Okay, we got to check all the rooms in this place. There's got to be a team working hard to decode that key. >> We scanned all the screens, but it seems like there was hardly anyone in the building. Just then, I spotted an empty room with [music] only a glass case in the center. Liam, do you think the keys in that vault? [music] >> Yeah, it looks like
it. Listen, Ellie, I need you to hack into their system and find out whatever you can about the security measures in that vault. I'm going to be by the door to keep an eye out. >> You got it. I was totally lost in my [music] work when suddenly my eyes split it to one of the screens. Um Liam, what did you say your ex-girlfriends looked like? >> I don't think [music] I said anything. >> Would you say she's a skinny supermodel type with lovely blonde hair, a perfect jawline, and [music] very, very long legs? >>
Yeah. Why? >> Well, if we don't scram out of here in the next 3 minutes, I think you're about to be reunited with your ex. She's coming this way. Liam grabbed my hand and we ran out and [music] down the corridor like crazy. Suddenly, security alarms started blaring all over the Building. >> I guess she found the unconscious guard in the surveillance room. Ellie, why have you stopped running? >> I I'm so out of breath. I'm a computer person on my butt all day. Not used to running. Suddenly, Liam swept me up like a sack
of potatoes. flung me over his shoulder and started running again. All the entrances were being sealed and Liam managed to get through the last ones seconds before it slammed shut. We went Rolling onto the ground, then got up quickly and sprinted as some [music] guards chased us. As soon as we got outside the gates, a car screeched to a stop in front of us. >> Get in. Hurry. >> Yet another narrow escape. Was the mission successful? >> Far from it. We didn't manage to get the information we needed to break into the vault where the
key is being kept. >> What are you talking about? I downloaded Every single piece of information on their system in this flash drive. This [music] one? No, wait, not this one either. It's the neon green one. It's my favorite. Aha, here you go. >> What? Oh my god, Ellie, you're amazing. >> He pulled me into a hug and I was so startled that I didn't even hug him back. I wanted to kick myself for this wasted opportunity. And when [music] we got back to the safe house, I crashed onto my bed like a malfunctioned hard
Drive. I was exhausted, but I kept having nightmares. And at [music] some point, I woke up in a cold sweat. Just then, I screamed to see a dark shadow hovering over me, and I punched it hard. >> Ow! >> Liam, what are you doing here? >> You were shouting in your sleep. I was just checking on you. >> Aw, you came to see if I was okay. >> Well, that's too much to hope for. I already know you're unhinged. Jeez, I Think you've broken my nose. >> What? With these jelly [music] arms? Come on, don't
be a baby. A baby could punch harder than me. >> I'm not being a baby. Since you're finally up, let me show you what we found from that information you got. >> Agatha and Liam then proceeded to tell me that we didn't need to break into the vault. Apparently, they discovered a foreign delegation [music] was visiting the embassy in 2 days for a big event, And the stolen key would be exchanged there. The rogue agent, Princess Leia, will be disguised as a journalist. She will be secretly handing it over to this undercover foreign >> Whoa,
hold on. Your exgirlfriend's code name is Princess Leia. >> Oh, now I get why you're Agent Skywalker. That's really cheesy. >> Can you focus on what's actually important? >> Leia might recognize you, Liam, even in Disguise. I can get you in the building as the kitchen staff, but we need to send someone else in as a guest. Preferably a pretty harmless looking girl who can get close enough to the arms dealer to find out when the exchange is happening. >> I'm not sure I can. Wait, Ellie, you're a girl. >> Gee, thanks for finally noticing.
>> She's not a trained agent. It's too dangerous. >> Yeah, man. Stop putting me in danger. You'll just be like any other guest at the event and I'll be close by and constantly in touch with you. Please, Ellie, this is my last chance before the key leaves the country. >> Okay. Okay, fine. >> You can act like a cute, flirty girl, right? >> I'm used to my mother throwing me at rich guys. So, yeah, I have some practice. >> You should be prepared for anything. You know, once I was working in the field, I had
to kiss a mafia boss to distract him. It brought down his hold operation. >> She's not very good in that department, Agatha. I've [music] seen her practicing in a mirror. >> That's not what I was doing. Look, I'm a pretty good kisser. Okay. >> Well, it's an important skill any undercover agent should have. So, [music] prove it. >> Prove it? How? >> You could just kiss me. Duh. >> What? Like right [music] now? Is that really necessary? >> Maybe she just finds you ugly. Agent Skywalker, >> I didn't say that. I mean, who would find
him ugly? He's very good-looking. That's just a fact. Like, I'm sure even a lesbian would find him attractive. >> Then it's just your bad kissing skills stopping you, [music] I guess. Let's Hope you don't need to use them. >> You know what, man? Just shut up. I suddenly grabbed Liam and [music] kissed him hard. He kissed me back and my brain exploded with fireworks. >> Well, uh, that was [music] not half bad. [clears throat] It was good. Great. Even [music] Yeah, she'll be fine. I um I'm going to get some [music] more coffee. >> I'm
proud of you, kid. >> 2 days later, as I was getting ready for The event, I felt sick with anxiety. Just then, someone knocked gently and Liam [music] walked in. >> Wow, you clean up nice. I mean, uh your dress [music] is pretty. >> I think I'm going to barf all over it soon. Don't be so nervous. I won't let [music] anything happen to you. Here's your earpiece. It has a trackger in there. [music] >> I'm just not cut out for this, Liam. >> I'm not so sure. >> Then Agatha walked in saying the car
was ready. At the event, I was looking everywhere for the arms dealer, and I finally spotted him. Just then, a tall, dark girl with glasses approached him [music] and whispered something in his ear, and they both started walking out of the hall. >> Princess Leia is on the move. I think the exchange is happening now. >> Follow them to see where they're going. I'll come after you. >> I rushed out of the hall and saw them going down a [music] corridor. They walked to the end of it and entered the room on the left. I
inched closer and as I tried peeking through the door. I suddenly lost my balance and fell [music] inside and all eyes turned to me. Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought this was the bathroom. [music] Sorry. Sorry. You can continue with whatever you were doing. >> Not so fast, [music] girl. >> Ow. Ow, that hurts. >> Hey, maybe it [music] was just a mistake. She seems like a harmless little girl. >> Oh, really? Is that why [music] she is wearing an earpiece? >> That That's my hearing aid. >> Who do you work for? >> What? I
can't hear you. >> Look, we can't do the exchange right now. This place is probably surrounded by federal agents. Leave immediately. I [music] will create a distraction. And you go. You're staying here. sit down. I plopped my butt into a chair as the girl took out a laptop and started typing like crazy. What you doing? You know I'm very good at computers. You need any help? Oh, I'm just activating an explosive device linked to this laptop that will go off in 5 minutes and blow up half of this place. So, that should create a nice
distraction. What? I got to run, babe. It was nice meeting you. Ciao. She then ran out of the room and locked it from outside. Oh my god. I stood frozen in panic, staring at the screen, seeing my life flash before my eyes. But then somehow I managed to muster some courage. Okay. Okay. Calm down, Emmy. I mean, Ellie, [music] it's just a laptop. Any software can be overwritten. Anything can be decoded. You can do this. You got this, girl. I tried everything I knew, but nothing was working. [music] And then I had a brain wave.
I opened Google and typed in the website from where I [music] downloaded the virus at work. I clicked on it and the screen turned red. Your system is under attack [music] and will be immediately destroyed now. Goodbye. And then the laptop went blank. I'd actually done it. Oh my god. I collapsed to the floor and just then the door burst open and Liam pulled me into his arms. >> Ellie, are you okay? Leia took your Earpiece [music] and I ended up following her instead. >> Did you manage to stop her? Did you get the key?
>> Yeah, I did. Agatha hadn't told me before, but she'd call in the other agents to help, and I'm really [music] glad. We needed it. Leia's under arrest, and so's the arms dealer. >> That's amazing. And Liam, [music] did you know that I just diffused a very large explosive device and saved many Lives? >> You did what? The federal agents evacuated the embassy and [music] scanned the entire building and found the device that had been linked to the laptop. >> You're >> Look, [music] Liam, it's not exactly a secret that I've had a giant crush
on you since we met. But the truth is, I don't have a crush on the real you because I don't know the real you, and [music] I probably never will. I mean, what's your real name? Liam just looked at me silently. Yeah, I thought so. But I get it. You're meant for this life, and it suits you, but it's not for [music] me. Just one thing. Can I take this dress with me? >> It's all yours. >> I extended [music] my hand and he shook it gently. Then I got into the car waiting for me
and left. Back at home, I was overjoyed to see mom doing well. And With my large paycheck, I [music] was able to take care of all our bills and then some. But my daughter, we're rich. Did you find rich man? >> No, mom. I worked very hard for this money and I'm in charge of the [music] finances now. But to celebrate mom's recovery, I decided to throw her one lavish party with all her friends at Christmas. And I was trying not to zone out of a very boring [music] conversation with some rich dumb jock When
suddenly the doorbell rang. Liam, what are you doing here? >> It's Norman. >> Huh? What's Norman? >> My real name. >> Oh, Norman. Ouch. That's not a cool name, dude. >> I know that. Listen, [music] Ellie, I miss you, okay? You're crazy and you talk a lot and you're an awful [music] singer. There's never a dull moment with you Around [music] because you're also smart and beautiful and adorable. And I tried to [music] keep a cold front because I didn't want to get too close. But despite my best [music] efforts, I can't stop thinking about
you. I was just minding my own business in the [music] convenience store when suddenly a hooded guy jumped at the cashier and pulled out a gun. Give me some cash. All of it. Now, everyone started to panic except me. I'd actually been waiting for This moment. Hey, idiot. Everyone gasped as the robber turned to me. I then walked up to him while slowly removing my jacket. [music] It's so hot in here, don't you think? Back off, sweetheart. I have a gun. Not anymore. He tried to die for it, but I immediately locked him in a
tight grip and pinned him to the ground. It's jail time, baby. And that's how you catch a criminal. Hi, my name is Artemis, and I've always wanted to become a detective, just like my dad. Before I continue, MSA will give $1,000 to one lucky person who subscribes in the next 7 days. [music] Tell your friends, your sister, brother, and mom to subscribe now. As the robber was being arrested, someone approached me with a proud smile on his face. My favorite police detective, Lewis. I'd met him during a future [music] detective summer program for high school
students last year, and we'd kept in touch. You're really something else, Kid. Kid, [music] he was just 5 years older than me, but he kept treating me as his little sister, and it was so annoying because I actually liked him. I learned from the best. If you're free tonight, do you want to have dinner with me? Would he finally confess his [music] feelings for me? The anticipation was killing me. He took me to a romantic restaurant and my [music] heart was racing. I'll get to the point, Artemis. I know that you've been waiting for this
Moment, too. You bet I have. We're [music] having a big and difficult case right now, and we need your help. Oh, I suddenly felt stupid. Tell me about [music] it. It's a gold smuggling case, and the suspect's name is Mr. Anderson. We need some hard evidence against him. And how can I help exactly? He has a son and his name is Chase. He's a senior high school student. Reckless, clumsy, and spoiled. He's looking for a female bodyguard and she should be very Attractive. So, you want me to pose as his bodyguard while spying on Mr.
Anderson, right? Exactly. I need you to find where he's keeping all those gold bars. Mission accepted, officer. Dad had trained me in martial arts since I was two, and now I could finally put it to good use. Lewis prepared my fake documents for the application, and luckily, I was chosen. I was so excited about [music] this mission, but little did I know that I was about to get Involved in the biggest mess ever. I tried so hard to keep my cool when I finally met Mr. Anderson. [music] His face literally screamed danger. I was secretly
scanning my eyes around his office as we discussed the job. There were surveillance cameras everywhere. It was going to be harder than I thought. I love my son more than anything, so do your best to protect him. I'll make sure you won't regret hiring me, sir. He gave me a very thick portfolio of Chase, and The first thing I noticed was his face. It was very attractive. [music] Mr. Anderson told me that Chase was waiting for me in this room. And the moment I opened it, I was caught off guard when someone suddenly jumped on
me. It was him, and he looked like a scared little puppy. Is everything okay? Take that disgusting [music] little creature away from me. I looked around and noticed a cockroach crawling toward us. I immediately stepped on it And crushed it to death. Don't worry, it's gone. He finally opened his eyes and I almost dropped my jaw when we both stared at each other. [music] He was the most handsome man that I had ever seen. And I wasn't exaggerating. Just then, he jumped away from me and cleared his throat. I just find it really dirty, that's
all. Anyway, you must be the new bodyguard. Artemis, at your service. Dad surely knows my type. Do you want [music] to make out? Do you want to die? Playing hard to get. I like that. I was hired to be your bodyguard, not your girlfriend, sir. [music] You'll still end up being one, so why waste time? He was about to touch me, but I gave him a powerful blow that [music] sent him flying to the wall. Are you crazy? You're being paid to protect me, not kill me. Sorry, it's just a reflex. Fix your stupid reflex
or I'll tell Dad to [music] fire you. Loud and clear, sir. I'll officially start my duty tomorrow. Have a nice night. Later that night, while everyone was sleeping, I tiptoed around the mansion and installed some [music] spy cameras to watch Mr. Anderson's every move. I had to catch him soon and get this job over and done with. The next day at Chase's school, boys immediately flocked around me like I was a celebrity. And Chase didn't look too happy about it. Just then, he started throwing some dollar bills at them. A,000 bucks for each of you
to Back off and stop looking at my bodyguard, losers. And with that, they all closed their eyes and ran away like rats in the dark. Excuse me, sir, but why did you do that? I can take care of myself. I want you to [music] focus on me. Those idiots will just distract you. There's no need to do that. I'm not usually [music] distracted by stupid things. But he just ignored me and continued walking. Suddenly, he slipped on a piece of tissue paper. And before He could hit his head on the ground, I caught him in
my arms. Our faces were so close, and for a moment, I felt lost in his beautiful blue eyes. Just then, a pretty girl came running and screaming. Huppy Boo, what is the meaning of this? Are you cheating on me? Based on his file, it must be Vanessa, [music] his girlfriend. On reflex, I dropped Chase to the ground. This girl is my bodyguard. She was just protecting [music] Me. What a relief. I'm your one and only, always and forever, right, Hubby Boo? She then jumped on him and started kissing him like a vacuum cleaner. Vanessa was
clinging on to Chase all day and kept sticking her tongue out at me. What was her problem? Later that day, Chase suddenly dragged me into the janitor's closet. I actually don't like Vanessa. I just dated her because she's just so obsessed with [music] me. I felt bad for her. And why are you telling me This, sir? Don't be jealous. Huh? I'm sorry, but I really don't get you. Forget it. I already broke up with her many times and she's like an annoying leech. From now on, I want you to keep her away from me. Make
sure she doesn't come near me. Copy that, sir. Later that day, I snuck into the bathroom to check the surveillance video on my phone and saw Mr. Anderson enter the mansion [music] and then he went straight into his room. H I needed to have access There, too. On my way out, I bumped into someone. Vanessa, listen, girly. You may look tough and all, but I'm not scared of you. I need you to stay away from my future husband, my hubby. Boo. Sorry, I can't do that. I'm being paid to be by his side 24/7. And
besides, you have nothing to worry about. I'm not attracted to him. [music] She burst out laughing. [laughter] Chase is the most beautiful guy in the entire universe. There's no way you're Not attracted to him. Unless you're a lesbian. OMG, are you? [music] Do you like me instead? Maybe. I can't blame you. I'm perfect. But I'm sorry, you're not my type. That's too bad because I think I'm obsessed with you. I leaned in closer and pouted my lips for a kiss. Ew. Get away from me. My little stunt was effective because anytime Vanessa came close to
[music] Chase, I made pouty lips at her and she ran off. But I wasn't exactly celebrating. It had only Been a week, but I wanted to give up already. Chase was a total pain in the butt and such [laughter] a big baby. He would complain over the smallest things. One time he was making a huge fuss about a mosquito bite. How could you not stop it from sucking my precious blood? I thought you had great reflexes. See, it's swollen. You're not going to die from it, sir. Relax. One time, he decided to skip school just
to go shopping for a new yacht. As we were Walking towards the port, we bumped into some guys who looked like gangsters, and he actually knew them. [music] It's a perfect day to break some skulls, don't you think, Chase? What do you want, Brody? Your girl. She looks like my next girlfriend. He was about to touch me, but suddenly Chase jumped in and shoved him to the ground. Don't you dare touch her, dummy. Brody went berserk. You stupid dirt bag. He was about to punch Chase, but I was able to block his fist Just in
time. I'd run home to mommy if I were you. I twisted his arm and he went screaming in pain. Get her, boys. I threw a couple of my karate moves and they all fell to the ground in no time. I turned to Chase and he looked stunned. He was still speechless even in the [music] car. When we got home, he just sat in front of me and stared at my face. Is there any problem, sir? You're the [music] prettiest and coolest girl that I've ever met. Do you know that? He Lifted his hand [music] to
touch my face, and I just shivered at the contact. You know what happens when [music] you touch me, Chase? So, get your hands off me before it's too late. Suddenly, his happy face turned sad as he pulled away from me. I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore. Well, that was weird. I needed [music] to find that secret room with the gold bars as soon as possible before things got any weirder. But whenever I had the chance, I looked all around the mansion and found nothing. One day, [music] Mr. Anderson had a business trip and he'd
be away for a week. It was finally my chance to work on his room. After making sure everyone was asleep, I went to his room and while I was checking his drawers, [music] I felt someone watching me from the door. Chase, what are you doing here? I I was looking for you in the drawers. I don't think I could fit in there. Oh god, I needed [music] to Distract him. And then I did the unthinkable. I walked up to him, grabbed his face, and kissed him on the lips. And worse, I kind of enjoyed it.
Wo! What was that about? I I've been craving your lips. I knew [music] it. No one could resist me. Not even you. I guess you're right. Anyway, we have to sleep now. It's [music] late. How could I when you just kissed me? I tried getting rid of him, but he was persistent. First, he insisted we watch videos together on his Favorite channel, MSA, for 2 hours. And then he even made me sing him a lullabi to help him [music] sleep. When he was finally asleep, I just found myself staring at his face. He actually looked
like [music] a beautiful angel. Snap out of it, idiot. The next day at school, Chase did something that gave me the shock of my life. He announced to everyone that we were dating. [music] And Vanessa went wild. This girl is a lesbian and I'm the one she actually Likes. She's only getting back at you because she's jealous. Chase ignored her and got on his knees instead. To my surprise, he started tying up my shoelaces. [music] Silly girl. What if you trip and hurt yourself? I then pulled him to the side and confronted him. What in
the world are you doing? You like me and I like you. So, we're dating, right? Are you crazy? If your dad finds out about this, we're dead. Don't worry. He's too busy to even check Up on me. From now on, I'll protect you and serve you instead. Okay. I kept on refusing, but he was unstoppable. He was just around me all the time, and it was driving me crazy. All he did was stare at me 90% of the time. Could you please stop that? It's freaking me out. I could stare at you forever. You're just
too pretty. I sometimes doubt if you're even real. During [music] classes, he kept reaching for my hand just to hold it. During lunch, he would [music] feed me And just watch me eat. He was acting like the perfect boyfriend, and I had no choice but to play along to protect [music] my cover. Gh. What had I gotten myself into? Later that night, I called Louis and reported everything, including my fake relationship with Chase. I need you to stop entertaining any distractions and finish your mission ASAP. Understood? He sounded mad, and it made me feel bad.
I'm sorry. I'll do better. The only place I hadn't checked Yet was Mr. Anderson's bathroom, and I had to do that first thing in the morning, but I woke up to see Chase smiling at me with breakfast in bed. Good morning, [music] my love. Eat up. I cooked it for you. The eggs looked delicious, so I decided to have a little taste. And they actually were. [music] I didn't know you could cook. I wanted to be a chef and open my own restaurant someday. But dad wanted me to be the next [music] CEO of his
company instead. Nothing feels better than living your dream. So stop being a loser and go for it. It's your life, not your dad's anyway. I suddenly felt bad knowing that his dad [music] was a criminal. That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life. I [music] can't help but fall for you harder each day. He sounded so real. I almost fell for it. You're pretty good [music] with words, aren't you? I'm serious about you. To my surprise, he gave me a quick peck on the [music] lips and it made me blush like hell.
One weekend, he insisted that I train him in [music] boxing. When we got inside the ring, he was so hyped up. Are you sure about this? Heck yeah. But the moment I threw a single punch, he went flying like paper. I worriedly rushed up to him, but he immediately got up. I wasn't ready. But this time, I'll show you no mercy. I decided to make him win and let him knock me out this time. You cheated. You let me win. No, I didn't. He was [music] pouting as he sulked in the corner. And suddenly, I
felt bad. Fine. I cheated. I'm sorry. [music] I'll accept your apology if you'll have a date with me. I agreed and he took me to the park. I waited for him on the bench as he bought me ice cream. There were a couple of kids playing around and to my surprise, he called them over and bought ice cream for all of them and even gave the vendor a huge tip. He wasn't really that [music] bad after all. And I just Found myself smiling. Oh no, I couldn't fall for him. I had to get rid of
these stupid thoughts [music] and focus on my goal. The next day, I told Chase that I wasn't feeling well, so I couldn't go to school with him. As soon as the coast was clear, I slept into his dad's room and went straight to the bathroom. I checked every corner in space until I saw a button underneath the sink. I pressed it and to my surprise, the bathtub slid away, revealing a trap door Beneath it. I tried all the combinations in the passcode lock until [music] it finally opened. I went down the stairs and I couldn't
believe my eyes. The room was full of gold bars. I immediately called Lewis for backup. And while I was taking some pictures, someone suddenly smacked my phone out of my hand. It was Mr. Anderson back from his trip and he was raging mad. You little witch. Just in time, Lewis and the police barged in and finally arrested him. As he was Being escorted out, Louisis came up to me and hugged me. Good work, future detective. I'm so proud of you. You can even get rid of that little punk and hang out with me again. I
miss you. Suddenly, someone spoke from behind [music] us. So, it was all about this, huh? I turned around and my smile instantly disappeared upon seeing Chase standing by the door. The hurt look in his eyes broke my heart. Chase, let me explain. No need. Congratulations on Your successful mission. I watched him walk away with tears in my eyes. I wanted to run after him, but I guess this was for the best. I didn't see him again, and he also never contacted me. I [music] should be happy I was done with him, right? Wrong. It kept
on bothering me a lot. One day, [music] Lewis took me out for dinner, and I was expecting him to give me another case, but he completely surprised me [music] by saying, "I like you a lot, Artemis. Will You be my girlfriend?" I had been waiting for this moment. I should be happy. But why was I thinking about Chase? I'm so sorry, Louis, but I think we're better off as friends. You like someone else, don't you? I just bowed my head down and smiled. It didn't matter now because I'd ruined his life. 2 years had passed
and I was finally studying criminology at university. [music] One day during lunch, I decided to try the new restaurant around the corner and I was shocked to see who the chef was. [music] Chase, it's so nice to see you here. How are you doing? I'm doing great. I took your advice and here I am. He looked [music] even more handsome than before. I didn't know what to say. It's really good to see you, Artemis. You, too. I wanted to hug him and tell him that I [music] missed him, but I couldn't. He then excused himself
and walked up to a familiar girl who had just entered the restaurant. It was Vanessa, and they were hugging sweetly. I felt so jealous. I just got up to leave. As I walked out of the restaurant, I felt I was running through the rain trying to get home as quickly as possible when I noticed my crush James walking onto the school grounds. I didn't want him to see me like this. I was soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat, but I had to know what he was up to. What if he was breaking
into the school? I decided to Follow him. And at one point, I swear he turned around and looked right at me. I didn't know if I was seeing things, but it even looked like he smiled at me. Wait, did he want me to follow him? Suddenly, I felt brave. I was going to tell him how I felt. The moment I'd waited for my whole life had arrived. But then I saw him climbing into the tornado shelter. And that should have been my first warning not to keep following him because things were about To get super
weird. Before I unleash my crazy story on to you, click like and subscribe to stay up to date with all the madness that my story animated has in store for you. Okay, so there I was climbing into a tornado shelter after my crush with absolutely no plan of what I'd do next. I was acting purely on impulse and it felt amazing. I felt sure he knew I'd climbed in after him, but I couldn't see anything, so I used [music] the flashlight on my phone and realized He'd already gone down the stairs. The rain was really
pouring now, so I closed the lid. The last thing I wanted was to flood the shelter. Not on [music] a special night like tonight. I'd never been this close to James before. Just the two of us alone. Except we weren't alone. As soon as I closed the lid, I heard a girl's voice. No. I started panicking and decided this had [music] been a stupid idea. I pushed the lid to climb back out, but it wouldn't open. No Matter how hard I pushed it, it didn't budge. Oh my gosh, I was stuck. If it [music] had
just been me and James down there, it would have been quite exciting. But suddenly, I heard a kissing sound, and I realized my worst nightmare had just come true. I was [music] stuck in a tornado shelter with my crush and his girlfriend by the sounds of things. I didn't want them to know I was there [music] like some creepy stalkers. So, I tried to keep as Quiet as possible. I could hear them laughing. And then the girl said, "Did anyone see you come in here? I hope we didn't get caught." And James replied, "No, I
don't think so." Oh, no. Wait. There was a girl from my school, but she wouldn't say anything. She's such a loser. At that, I had to cover my face. I [music] wanted to cry. It felt like he'd shoved a knife through my heart. And then I felt angry. I had to get out of there. This was literally the most Embarrassing situation to ever be in. And what would my parents think when they found out? I gave the lid one final push, but I pushed too hard. The next moment, I lost my footing and was rolling
down [music] the stairs. I landed with a thump and blacked out for a second. When I opened my eyes, James and his girlfriend were standing over me. They didn't even ask me if I was okay. James just looked down at me and said, "Did you follow me here? What are You playing at?" Then he turned to his girlfriend and said, "Come on, babe. Let's bounce." Then they just left me lying there and headed up the stairs. I was about to tell them that we were trapped down there, but they'd soon discover it for themselves. I
could hear James bashing on the lid of the shelter, but obviously it wouldn't open. And then he shouted down to me and asked if I'd done this and if I thought it was funny. No, James, I did not find this funny. I Wanted to shout up at him. Gosh, what would he say if he knew how much I wished I were his girlfriend and not that dumb blonde girl? Then he started shouting about how he had to get out ASAP because the next day was his big football game that was going to guarantee him a
scholarship to a top college. He said he had to get it otherwise he'd be stuck in this stupid town forever. Oh no. This was a disaster, and it was only just the Beginning. I sat up and looked around with my flashlight on my phone and realized there was literally nothing down there except for some sandbags and an old scratchy blanket that looked like a thousand bugs might be living in it. And then I realized I was shivering, like properly freezing cold. My phone was on 10%. Not that it mattered. There was absolutely no signal down
there anyway. I didn't even have a bottle of water on me. And by the looks of things, James and his girlfriend had nothing either. Oh man. I held my breath as they came down the stairs. I was so scared of what they'd say to me. They were arguing and James' girlfriend came right up to me and said, "This is all your fault. You've ruined everything." Truly, that felt like the most awkward moment of my entire life. James told her to try and calm down, and I learned her name was Amy. She must have gone to
another school because I'd never seen her Before. Neither of them had signal either, and soon they started screaming for help. I didn't want to tell them it was pointless. The rain was so loud. No one would hear us, even if they were right above us. Eventually, I told them I was sorry, even though it wasn't my fault. I lied and told them I'd been trying to shelter from the rain because I'd forgotten my umbrella, but Amy didn't buy it. She said, "Yeah, right. You're clearly a stalker. Do you get Kicks out of watching other people
making out or something?" James said, "You're a loser." And he wasn't joking. Look at you. If I hadn't already been underground, I'd have asked the ground to swallow me up. No one had ever been so mean to me before. After that, it was really uncomfortable, and all of us were in a bad mood. Soon, it became obvious we'd all have to spend the night down there. So, I found a corner as far away from Amy as possible and lay down. I was Still shivering and thought about using the insectinfested blanket, but Amy had already grabbed
it. There was no way I'd fall asleep. I was so thirsty, and even though the shelter luckily had a small toilet, there was no sink, which meant no running water. I'd have drunk the rain earlier if I knew this was going to happen. I covered my ears because I was afraid I'd hear them kissing. And eventually, I must have fallen asleep because the next moment, I found myself Waking up to hearing a rustling sound. I looked over at Amy and even though I couldn't see anything, I knew she was eating something. I could hear her.
I couldn't believe she had food with her and wasn't sharing it. Did James know? I should have said something, but I was too scared. I'd already caused enough trouble. Finally, morning came and by then my phone was at 2%. Soon, I wouldn't even know what time it was. I was bursting for the toilet. So, I went To use it. And of course, Amy shouted at me and said my peeing was too loud and had woken her up. Then I noticed there was a light switch outside the toilet. I clicked on it, not expecting it to
work. And suddenly the whole shelter was flooded with light. Amy quickly pulled the blanket up and told me to look away. Oh my gosh, were they not wearing clothes? Then Amy just laughed and said, "Everyone knows that body heat is the best way to survive in cold weather." Ew. Once they got dressed, I realized how pretty Amy was, and it really annoyed me. How could I have thought James would ever be interested in someone like me when he had Amy? I ran up the stairs and tried to push the lid again, but then I just
sat there waiting for people to arrive at school. Then I'd scream my head off. Plus, I didn't want them to look at me. I felt so insecure about my running clothes, and I hadn't even shaved my legs. I didn't want James Noticing. I could hear the school bell and feet walking over us, but no one heard me scream. How long would we be down here? James was complaining about being hungry and Amy, too. But I knew Amy had eaten something in the night. She was a liar. We started looking around the place to see if
[music] we could find anything. And James suddenly sounded happy. Under the sandbags, he'd found some old bottles of water. The water looked disgusting, but I'd have Drunk anything by that point. Both James and I downed like a liter each, but Amy refused. Suit yourself, I thought. Then about an hour later, I started getting a weird pain in my stomach. Oh no. There was no toilet paper. This couldn't be happening. I had to run and almost puked my guts up. And I wasn't the only one. James [music] raced in after me. And at one point, we
were both lying on the floor, taking it in turns to vomit. Not exactly what I had in mind for our first Date together. That water must have been 20 years old or something. Amy got seriously annoyed and even tried to drag James out of the bathroom. Was she jealous? And then I noticed an empty soda bottle behind the toilet. Had [music] Amy secretly had a bottle of soda and not told us how selfish. That first day seemed to fly by. Most of it spent in the bathroom, of course. By the end of the day, I'd
almost lost my voice from screaming for help. Would we be Stuck down there forever? And then nighttime came and James and Amy got into a huge fight. Secretly, it made me happy to see them argue. James deserved better. He was super upset that he'd missed his football game, but Amy just kept saying he could go to college with her and then they'd never be apart. and James got really angry and said he didn't want to go to her college. Then the whole room went silent. It was tense. I didn't know what to do, so I
Just stayed quiet and pretended to be asleep. A while later, I heard someone saying my name. I opened my eyes and could see James. He said he could hear my teeth chattering and that I should come and share their blanket. But if Amy woke up and saw me, she'd go mental. I didn't care about her, though. James was actually being kind of nice to me for the first time in my life. I couldn't lose my chance, so I climbed under the blanket next to him. Our legs were Almost touching. [music] And of course, that woke
Amy up. And when she saw me, I thought she was going to explode. James wanted to keep the peace, so he snuggled into her and left me lying there all alone. But I couldn't stop thinking [music] about the moment we just shared. And during the night, I decided to try and get closer to him. I rolled over until I was almost right at his back. But then I heard something. They were kissing. I was watching them, wishing it Was me he was kissing. [music] I couldn't stop staring. But suddenly Amy opened her eyes and caught
me watching them. She told James, but James said I was asleep and that they should get some sleep, too. But James didn't go back to sleep. He waited until Amy was snoring next to him. And then he reached out his hand and grabbed mine. I felt like my heart was going to explode and I so badly wanted to get closer to him, but it was too risky. There was always the Next night, right? So, we fell asleep holding hands and I couldn't stop smiling. In the morning though, I was lying there all alone. When Amy
got up to go to the bathroom, I smiled at James and he smiled back. But then Amy came out and saw me and said, "Freak, stop staring at us like that." I thought James would stick up for me, but he didn't. He was acting like nothing had happened between us. The rest of that day was kind of weird. We just sat Around quietly. At one point, James almost fainted. I mean, we were all starving. I was so weak, I just kept napping. And when I woke up from one of my naps, James and Amy were
eating biscuits. Where did they get them from? I could almost feel the saliva pouring out of my mouth. And I assumed Amy would offer me one, but she didn't. They ate them all. And after that, I didn't speak to either of them. I was so mad. I couldn't sleep that night because my Stomach was rumbling so loudly. But once Amy had fallen asleep, James reached into his pocket and handed me a biscuit. I swear I almost kissed him right there and then. This was why I had a crush on him. He was actually a good
guy, even if he had a demon for a girlfriend. For the next few nights, we got into a bit of a routine. After Amy fell asleep, we'd lie there and hold hands. And one night, James came right up to me, and I could tell he was about to kiss me. But Amy Started murmuring in her sleep, and he quickly moved over to her and held her. It drove me crazy. After we'd been down there for like 6 days, things were really starting to smell. The toilet, my clothes, it was nasty. And still, James and I
hadn't shared a kiss. But for some reason, Amy still looked good. That day, I noticed she didn't get up. It was like she'd given up on shouting for help. But it bothered me. Why should she get to sit there and chill? So, I told her I'd Just seen a huge spider, and I've never seen her run so fast. She raced up the stairs to where James was, and I immediately went over to where she'd been sitting. I just had this feeling she was hiding something, like another pack of biscuits. But I found something much bigger.
Under where she'd been sitting was a loose part of the [music] floorboard. I lifted it up and couldn't believe what I was seeing. There was so much stuff down there. Beauty products, Food, a battery pack, even clothes. Oh my gosh, what was going on? I didn't [music] have time to put the floorboard back before James appeared to find the spider. I whispered that Amy had been hiding stuff. James came running over and pulled out her phone. He knew her password and [music] typed it in quickly. Then he saw some messages that said things like, "I
need to find a way to stop him going off to college. [music] I'm scared he'll leave me." As He was reading them and I was eating one of her secret chocolate bars, she came down the stairs. [music] "What are you doing?" she screamed. But it was too late. We caught her red-handed. [music] She tried to grab her phone back from James, but he wouldn't give it to her. Eventually, she broke down and said that she didn't want James to leave her for college. So, she planned this, but she had only meant for them to be
stuck down there for one or two days. Then, she Said I'd ruined it all by turning up and getting them locked in here. [music] But there was something else. While she'd been talking, I'd been digging around and inside a pair of her socks was a key. I held it in my hands and watched [music] as James went crazy at Amy. He said he couldn't believe he dated such a psycho and that she'd officially ruined his life. Then [music] the best part of all, he turned to me and apologized. He said he was sorry he treated
me so Badly, but actually he'd realized how amazing I was and had enjoyed our sneaky handholding sessions while Amy slept. At that, Amy went berserk. She ran towards me and I quickly jumped away. Then I watched as she dug around inside her secret hiding place looking for >> Hi, I'm Isabelle from Philadelphia. Please like and subscribe. My mom had an accident when I was only three and dad shifted [music] his multi-million dollar company to our mansion just so he could Give me all his attention. But I soon realized he was too much. He fired my
favorite nanny just because I fell off my bed. He wouldn't even let me go to the park without wearing a helmet and protective gear. I looked like a freaking astronaut. One night when I was 5, I left a note for dad and ran away from home. I knew exactly where I wanted to go first, the park. Finally, some peace. But it wasn't long before I heard police cars screeching outside and dad Came running to me. Oh, you fool. I'm never letting you out of my sight again. I looked at the officers and started kicking and
screaming. Please help me. I've never seen this creepy man before. Help. Well, Dad had a lot of paperwork to show before he could take me home. Growing up, he and I were constantly at war, but I always found a way to do what I wanted. And in high school, I even joined the cheerleading squad without telling him, of course. Once in 10th Grade, the football captain Jake invited me to his party. And I knew there was no way Dad was letting me go so late. So once he was asleep, I sneaked out of my window.
By the time I got back, it was almost 3:00 a.m. I was walking through my garden when I suddenly tripped over something that looked like a human body. I almost screamed, but just then I saw who it was. My weird neighbor. Oh my god, what are you doing here? I was just lying back and watching the stars till You ruined it. Why can't you just watch the freaking stars from your garden? I like the grass here better. It's nicer and softer, and the quality is Jeez, just shut up and go. As I started walking, he
followed me. You know, we go to the same school, right? You don't even know my name, do you? Of course I do. It's um something with an R or P. Wait, wait, wait. It's Dave. David. Okay, you got me. I don't know your name. It's Scott. [music] You'll Remember now because I'm your new boyfriend. Did I hit your head when I tripped? No, you just gave me an idea. You're Miss Popular and I'm just a nerd. Dating a cheerleader is going to be great for my image. And if you say no, I'm going to tell
your dad you were out. Are you seriously blackmailing me? Yes, I am. Don't worry, it's not forever. We'll date for a month and then break up publicly. [music] So, do we have a deal? Dating this weirdo would be social Suicide for me. But if dad found out, I'd be grounded for eternity. So, I shook hands on it. I was so not looking forward to school on Monday. I walked down the hall with my face behind a book, hoping to avoid [music] Scott. I didn't find him anywhere, and I felt so relieved. Maybe he was kidding
about the whole thing anyway. Later at lunch, Jake joined me, and I was having a great time when suddenly Scott slid right next to me. Here I am, my lady. Now, what are Your other two wishes? Oh my god, dude. We're in the middle of something here. Can you go and be weird somewhere else? I'd like to know what you're in the middle of with my girlfriend. Girlfriend? Your girlfriend? Isabelle, your friend seems rather stupid. Can you please tell him clearly? I kicked him hard under the table. Yes, it's true. Scott is my boyfriend. No
way. This is just some stupid joke, isn't it? It is not. I love Isabelle and she loves me Very [snorts] much and will prove it. To my horror, [music] Scott jumped onto the table and held out a hand for me. I climbed up very reluctantly and he whispered, "You better make this convincing. I was going to kill him." I kissed him as everyone in the cafeteria watched us and gasped. Jake stormed off furiously and I dragged Scott outside. What was that? This is not part of the deal. Well, we have to make it believable. What's
the problem anyway? You seemed to be really into that kiss. I was not. I'd rather kiss a monkeykey's butt. Now you listen to me. Just then, a thin goth girl named Irene walked up to us. Scott, are you really going out with this girl? Yes, I am. Twiggy, meet your future sister-in-law. Wait, you guys are siblings? How come she doesn't have a British accent? Because we're both Americans and my brother's such a loser. Why do you speak like that? So I can sound more sophisticated. Not all of us Just get by in life with a
pretty face. So you settled for a stupid accent? Good job. Also, I wouldn't date a cheerleader if I were you, Scott. She's one of them and they're all jerks. Before I could defend myself, she walked off. Don't mind her. She's weird. My friends are coming over for a chess tournament tonight, and I can't wait for them to meet my girlfriend. Uh, I can't. I have things to do, like spending the rest of high school in your room, because that's What will happen when I tell your dad. I'll see you, my lady. And [music] with that,
he left. So, he wanted a girlfriend, huh? Well, he was about to get one. The girlfriend from hell. When I went over to his place that evening, it looked like I'd walked onto some geek planet. And they were all staring at me like I was an alien. Wo! We thought Scott was lying. About us being together. Oh no. Meeting this cookie monster is the best thing that's Ever happened to me. When they set up the chessboard, I jumped into Scott's lap and started picking up the chest pieces. Babe, what's this horsey thing? And what's this
one for? I'm really dumb, you know. I don't understand anything. Can you please leave those alone? I'll explain to you later. Why are you talking like that to me, Snookhams? You think I'm dumb, don't you? I never said that. Just watch a game and you'll understand everything, Okay? I smiled sweetly, but I wasn't backing down. I kept distracting Scott by playing with his hair, feeding him snacks, and accidentally dropping a drink in his lap. And then, right when they were in the middle of an intense match, I started doing a cheerleading routine. Give me an
S. Give me a C. And then an OTT. Go Scotty. I did a cartwheel next and crashed straight into their table, knocking their chestboard to the floor. They all looked so mad. And Scott took me out of the room. What are you doing? I know you just think we're a bunch of nerds, but this is important to us. I'm just giving you the girlfriend experience. If you don't like it, break up with me. Not a [music] chance. You're my girlfriend for the month. Deal with it. Of course, everyone in school knew by now that Scott
and I were dating, and he was everywhere. In the library, during lunch, at my cheerleading practice. A few days later, He even signed up for a hiking trip I was going to. As we were walking, a cheerleader asked us how we'd gotten together. Oh, it's a really boring story. Oh, she's just shy. It was quite romantic, actually. What? She was walking past my house when she slipped and sprained her ankle. I took my t-shirt off and wrapped it around her foot, and then I carried her home. She asked me out because of my rockh hard
abs. [laughter] Her words, not mine. Oh, I could bash his skull with a rock. And suddenly, I had a brilliant idea. I stopped back to tie my laces and quickly filled up my backpack with rocks. Then I let out a loud cry. Scott, I I sprained my ankle again. I I don't think I can walk. Oh, I got you, my lady. Hop onto my back. And when I did, he let out a loud groan. What is it, Scotty? >> Uh, nothing. Totally uh fine. I almost died trying not to laugh. The poor boy Was grunting
and sweating as he carried me down the hill. And then finally, he collapsed to the ground. Gosh, Isabelle, you weigh as much as a baby elephant. Did you just call me fat? I burst into fake tears as everyone glared at him. No, that's not what I meant. Babe, [music] don't touch me, you jerk. Just then, Jake shoved him aside. You heard her. Come on, Isabelle. Let a real man carry you. Oh, I think my ankle is feeling better. I can walk, but I'll Need some support. I leaned on Jake's arm and started limping away. Served
Scott right for that stupid story. Later, [music] I felt bad for what I'd put him through, so I invited him to come with me to my friend's party. I was having a great time dancing there, but Scott was just hanging out in a corner, and I caught him looking at me more than once. Hey, come dance with me. Oh, I'd rather not. I don't have your moves. You looked pretty great out there. Why was My face getting hot? Well, I'd like to see your moves. Okay, then don't say I didn't warn you. He walked onto
the dance floor and started doing the weirdest chicken dance. Everyone stopped to stare and snicker at him, but he didn't seem to give a hoot. I burst out laughing. He looked ridiculous [music] and it looked like so much fun. I jumped in and started imitating his moves. And before I knew it, a whole bunch of [music] kids had joined us. And we were All doing Scott's chicken dance. We all clapped for him at the end of it. As we were walking away, Scott accidentally bumped into Jake and knocked over his plate of food on his
shirt. Suddenly, Jake grabbed him by the collar. You're really getting on my nerves, man. What are you even doing here? Dating some cheerleader won't make you cool. You will always be a loser. Why are you so worked up, dude? Is it that time of the month again? Jake punched Scott in the Face. I leapt forward and pushed him away straight into a fountain. Don't you dare touch my boyfriend. As Jake screamed furiously, I took Scott's hand and let him out of there. We went to his house and I held up an ice pack to his
face. Here, this should help. Yeah, it uh usually does. What do you mean? It's not the first time I've been bullied, Isabelle. I'm a nerd, remember? I've had plenty of broken glasses, punches, and insults. Scott, I'm sorry to hear that. No one [music] deserves such treatment, especially you. It's okay. You didn't bully me. You just [music] never noticed me. Are you trying to make me feel worse? Is it working? Yeah, a little bit. His eyes were so lovely up close and my heart was racing. But just then, Irene walked in and I jumped back. I
I should go home. It's late. See you around, Scott. And with that, I ran off. Jeez, was I falling for my fake boyfriend? The next day in school, Irene Was participating in an art contest. [music] But just an hour before, Scott and I found her crying in the art room. Someone had ripped her painting to shreds with a note stuck to it. [music] No place for losers. It's Jake. He did this to get back at me. I'm going to kill him. But what am I going to do right now, Scotty? I I have nothing. Listen,
I'm going to run back home and get one of your other art pieces. You have so much amazing stuff. It'll be Fine. I promise. He was out of there like a bullet and was back just before the contest started. The judges loved Irene's artwork and she actually came in second place. As we were all walking out of the hall, we spotted Jake and his buddies and Scott jumped forward to attack him, but I held him back. That's right, Isabelle. Keep that loser in check before I kick his butt again. Sure, I'll do that. And you
should go clear your locker, Jake, because you're About to be kicked out. See, you were too stupid to notice the camera in the art room. I asked the principal to look at the footage, and she'll be calling you any minute now. Jake looked [music] at me in shock, and before we knew it, the principal was dragging him off to her office, and he was expelled. A few days later, Scott and I went to the carnival with some friends. And when we were on the ferris wheel, it suddenly stopped with us on top. While we were
Waiting for it to get fixed, Jake suddenly turned to me. So, have you thought about how we're breaking up? What? Our month's over tomorrow. We can just break up in the cafeteria so that everyone knows we're not together. Oh, yeah. Of course. And you are more popular now. Everyone loves your chicken dance. You got what you wanted. Yes, I did. Just then, the ferris wheel started working again, and I angrily hopped off when we got to the bottom. He didn't Care about me at all. Just then, one of my friends caught up with me and
asked where [music] Scott was. Don't know and don't care. He's just a loser, and I'm going to dump his sorry butt tomorrow. [music] But the next day, I decided that I didn't want to break up. I liked him and I needed to tell him. When I got to the cafeteria, I walked over to Scott [music] and said, "Hey, listen. I don't think we should see each other anymore. Yeah, I agree. You're just a spoiled Little princess, [music] and I've realized I'm too good for you, Scott. This is not what I want. Are you begging me
to stay with you? Don't embarrass yourself because I won't change my mind. As I felt everyone's eyes on me, I just ran to the bathroom in angry tears. How could he be such a jerk? Just then, Irene walked in and asked what had happened. Your brother is awful. Guess I'll do anything for popularity, huh? Dumping a cheerleader makes him look Good. And you did. I just finished five photo shoots in London, attended [music] a fashion show in Paris, done an interview for Vogue Italia, and now my exhausted body was about to have some pampering [music]
in the fanciest hotel in Greece, all by myself. Suddenly, I heard a loud bang in my room. I [music] went to go check what it was, and I was shocked to see one of my luggage bags moving. I slowly opened it and a creepy stranger suddenly sprang out from it While sniffing my favorite dress. My bodyguards rushed as I screamed in horror. This is a serious invasion of my privacy. Take him away right now. >> Iris, I'm begging you. Just one kiss in a selfie. I'm your number one fan. >> Oh, please. Can I ever
[music] get a freaking break? Hi, my name is Iris and I'm a famous supermodel with a billionaire boyfriend. It might sound like every teenage [music] girl's dream, but for me, it was my worst nightmare. Before I continue, please like and subscribe. The hotel incident was circulating on the news in no time. And as soon as I reached my parents, they immediately fired my bodyguards. I forced my manager to clear my [music] schedule for a week so I could just breathe. But the universe literally said no. While I was doing yoga in my room, someone suddenly
barged in. It was my new boyfriend, Rocco. He was the son of an A-list actor and he seemed pretty Cool. [music] Not to mention really, really hot. Rocco, what are you doing here? It's been 8 minutes since my last chat. Why aren't you replying? You You came all the way here just for that? No, I came here to do this. Will you marry me? What the freaking crabs? Are you crazy? We'd been dating for like 5 days. You made me believe you loved me. I don't even know your eye color, Rocco. Suddenly, he started balling
like a baby on the floor. >> Oh my god, my heart. It hurts so bad. >> What the heck are you doing? I love you, Iris. I won't leave until you say yes. He really meant it. And I had to have him thrown out by security. After all the crazy incidents with the paparazzi and my [music] fans, Rocco was the last straw. And I'd finally had enough. I was tired of being woripped and followed because I was a famous model. One day, as I was watching my favorite channel, [music] MSA, I came across a video
of a Model who got plastic surgery to change her identity. It would be amazing to just disappear and return as a completely different person. Wait, that was actually a great idea. I tried on a black wig with bangs to cover my eyes, changed my eye color from blue to green, threw in some makeup and baggy clothes, and I couldn't even recognize myself. Mom screamed upon seeing me and almost reported me as a trespasser. I told him about my plan of giving up my career and Identity for a while, and dad told me I was crazy.
No, Dad, I'm not. I just want to be a normal girl living a normal life with no bodyguards and obsessed fans around me [music] 24/7. I want to live somewhere else that no one knows about. I've been homeschooled all my life and now I want to go to an actual school and have friends. [music] Please let me have this. I'm begging you. They were speechless for a whole minute. Do as you please, sweetheart. Take a [music] break For as long as you want. You deserve it, Dad. Fine, but on one condition. I'll choose the apartment
for you, [music] and you have to take at least two maids with you. >> Deal. And just like that, I was off to a [music] new chapter in my life. As the cool and mysterious Siri. As I was walking towards the school building on my first day, I suddenly stopped upon seeing a scary dog in the middle of the road. And when it started to chase me, Suddenly a skateboard came flying into the air, scaring it away. Gosh, that was close. I turned to my savior and he was cute. Hey there. Thanks [music] for saving
my life. What? I was just doing a backflip and my skateboard slipped. You still saved my life. What's your name? You're not my type, sweet cakes, so move on. Wait, did he just reject me? Well, that was something new. I had [music] never felt so lost when I finally got into the school building. Everyone was Wearing Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Hermes, and Prada. And they were all fake. Was this an actual school or an amateur fashion club? And everyone was looking at me like I was wearing something disgusting. Was it because of my oversized hoodie?
But I had to look as different as I [music] possibly could from my original self. When I finally got into my class, no one even glanced at me. For the first time, [music] I felt invisible, and I wasn't Complaining. I headed to an empty seat, but [music] before I could finally sit, a girl put gum on it. I don't sit with losers. Me? A loser? Huh? Just then, a familiar guy came in. It was the skater boy. Hey, do you remember me? We met earlier today. Are you stalking me? Just give it up, Sweet Cakes.
I was already here and my name isn't Sweet [music] Cakes, it's Siri. So, you're like the real life Siri, iPhone's virtual assistant? I just spelled my name Backward for this identity and that hadn't even crossed my mind. Hey guys, we got the real life Siri over here. Then they all started making fun of my fake name and it was so annoying. Hey Siri, can I eat my shoes without dying? Hey Siri, would a worm eat a dead worm? I put my headphones on but skater boy took them off. Why aren't you answering our questions? Are
you glitching or something? Haven't you heard of the latest Apple update? Siri won't answer Stupid questions from now on. I didn't know Siri was actually feisty. Just then, a familiar girl entered and her [music] eyes went straight to me. OMG, what a terrible day to have eyes. That outfit is horrible. Someone take this new girl out of this room right now. Stop acting like you're the fashion queen, Payton. Remember how you got rejected for a commercial and never made it as a model and your tantrum video went viral? Those people were just Blind. I couldn't
believe they chose that trash Iris over me. She stole my place. Iris is not trash. Iris is a goddess. Wait, Iris? Sorry to butt in, but [music] are you guys talking about the supermodel? Yes, the worst supermodel of all time. Oh, now I remembered this girl. She'd auditioned with me for the commercial that launched my career, [music] and she'd thrown a huge tantrum when she wasn't selected. And Skater Boy actually had a [music] Crush on me. How interesting. Soon, I learned that his name was Marcus. He was living in the same neighborhood as mine, [music]
and he was famous for his pranks. One time he brought a freaking cow to school and left it at the top of the stairs. No one knew how he managed to do it. [music] Another time he stole the teacher's necklace and replaced it with a fake snake and she literally passed out. He was insane. One day in the library, I was trying to get a book From a higher shelf, but I couldn't reach it. And he suddenly appeared behind me. You need [music] help? >> Yes, please. I need that book over there. To my surprise,
he transferred it to the very top shelf instead and walked off. He was really something else. It was lunchtime and I was starving. As a model, I was always on a very [music] strict diet. But now, I could eat whatever I wanted. No one wanted to sit with me, so I chose a table at the Corner. And just then, Marcus came over with his friends. This is our table. Go away. Sorry, I didn't see your name on it. Can't we share it? We can but on one condition.
