00:00Hi, my name is Kayla, please like and subscribe to MSA while I tell you my story my whole life
00:05I've been a book nerd stories are my
00:07Escape into new worlds where I can fight dragons on the top of the highest mountains or move cars out of my way using my
00:13Mind, however in real life. I'm virtually invisible and usually powerless in the face of danger
00:19Hey, watch where you're going geek. Sorry. What's the point of those dumb glasses if you can't see anything?
00:26Thankfully help was never too far behind. Oh, you heard my head. That was the idea now imagine what I can do with all these
00:36Are you okay? I am now. Hey, is that Harry Potter? I love that book
00:40You know, I think we're gonna be best friends. That was the first day
00:44I met Faye and she was right we instantly bonded over our love of reading and I was forever in awe of her confidence
00:51Everyone make way your queen is coming through
00:54she proved to me that being into books did not mean you had to be timid and that ends my
00:59Presentation on why every Friday should be pizza day at the cafeteria
01:03His life was forever blasting out loud. I felt like something was missing from mine
01:08I've read so many romantic tales of a prince riding into town
01:12Conquering the angry monsters just to be with the one he loves and then I wonder is my prince ever gonna come and save me
01:18Snap out of it Kayla. Huh? Look around you. These boys are no match for your intellect
01:23They're all stinky and stupid speak for yourself nerds. That's why you weren't invited to the big house party this weekend
01:30Your fly is undone
01:33You see what I mean Kayla, is that the prince you were looking for?
01:37Yeah, maybe you're right except I really did want to go to that house party
01:41Ah, I knew there was no way that was gonna happen or at least that's what I thought until everything changed one day as I
01:48Was looking for a book in the library. Hey, what's this? Hmm? Looks like a secret compartment. Pull it up. Whoa
01:54Hidden beneath the shelf was a dusty book. We'd never seen before
01:57I blew on it and read its title the secrets to get boys to fall in love with you
02:02That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of no wonder somebody hit it
02:06Look at this stuff how to dress for a man how to talk to a man
02:10I wonder if it works who cares shove it back where you found it. Actually, I think we should try it out
02:15What you can't be serious I am we could test it out tonight at the house party
02:20Think of it as a social experiment where we see how easy it is to get boys to fall for us
02:24Well, I do love a social experiment. All right, why not?
02:28I'm in after school you rush to my house and follow the book by the letter always wear bright red lipstick for attention
02:35Check clip in hair extensions for more bouncy hair check learn how to walk correctly by balancing books on your head
02:41Check
02:43Juice your meals to digest them faster check. Yeah lift weights to tone your figure. I'm exhausted
02:49Don't sit down. You'll get chair, but and according to this book boys hate chair, but
02:54eyelashes short skirts pink everything and
02:57Wow, we look like completely different people
03:01More like complete bimbos. I didn't care what they said
03:04I was super excited and when we arrived at the party
03:07Everyone was looking at us and I felt seen for the first time. Hey, they're good-looking. Can I get you some punch?
03:14I'll give you a punch. Hey, remember the book like oh my gosh
03:19I would totally love some punch duh once alone
03:22I scanned the room looking for my prince and oh my god, there he was. He was the most beautiful boy
03:29I had ever seen tall muscular well-dressed and looking so cool
03:33I wanted to go over there, but I remembered what the book said chapter 13
03:37Don't pester boys rather stand against a wall and look mysterious and they'll come to you
03:42And so that's what I did, but unfortunately it attracted the wrong guy
03:47Excuse me, miss. My name is Ricardo and let me just say you are a radiant vision of Sunbeam perfection. Oh
03:54Thanks, please. Let's swap numbers. Um, okay now watch my superb dance moves
04:00This weird dude distracted me with the most bizarre dance in the world
04:04And when I looked over my prince was gone and then Faye came up to me. We have to go wait
04:09I need to find someone first. Hey, that's the girl that dumped the guacamole bowl on my head
04:14Like I said, we have to go now
04:16We ran away as fast as we could but I turned just in time to see Ricardo blowing kisses after me
04:22Yeah, but hey, at least we knew the book worked the next day
04:25I woke up to a hundred messages from Ricardo
04:28some of them were sweet, but others were a little creepy like when he sent selfies of himself with roses in his teeth or
04:35Pictures of sketches he'd made of me and there were a lot of them. Of course. I was just gonna ignore him
04:40I was still hung up on finding the dreamboat from the party and I decided something else that weekend
04:45I liked my new look and how other people looked at me, but on Monday at school, they didn't see it the same way
04:52Excuse me, miss Barbie. Why are you still bimbo fight? I think I want to try this out for a while
04:57It makes me feel different except it makes you look just like every other bimbo here. Can you stop calling me that please?
05:04You know, I think we didn't fully commit to our social experiment. So let's read a few more chapters and then go to the arcade tonight
05:10Why would we do that?
05:11Just then as I opened my locker an avalanche of teddies and gifts and love letters poured to the floor
05:17Looks like Ricardo found me. Whoa, wait a minute. I'm starting to get the picture
05:22You think you're actually gonna get your prints this way, don't you? You mean this guy? I don't even like him
05:27Please just come to the arcade do it for me Faye hard pass
05:31I'll be at the library where the smart people usually are you're on your own
05:34I hated to see face so annoyed, but I figured she'd get over it besides
05:38I needed to continue my mission that night
05:41I read a few more chapters and then went to the arcade alone where all the popular kids hung out
05:45I felt super nervous by myself and considered leaving when hey, are you just going to stand there?
05:51Are you gonna play something? Oh my gosh, it was the hunk
05:53I saw at the party and he was talking to me think quick Kayla. What did the book say?
05:58Oh, yes chapter 7 always laugh at boys jokes
06:01You're so funny
06:03Thanks. My name is Lloyd. Are you waiting to play this claw game chapter 20 be the damsel in distress?
06:09Oh, it's too complicated for me. Oh, yeah, I'll show you the trick is all about timing
06:14Wow, you're so good at that. Thank you. Sure thing. Would you like to get ice cream? Oh chapter 3 avoid fatty desserts
06:22Um, how about a low-fat milkshake instead as we shared a vegan milkshake Lloyd started telling me about his life
06:28He was a part-time model, but his true passion was volunteering at the Children's Hospital
06:33I mean can someone be more perfect I gazed into his eyes and then we both moved forward to sip our straws at the same
06:40Time our faces were so close
06:42I almost thought he might kiss me when suddenly my phone rang and it was my mom telling me to come home immediately
06:49Apparently my grandma had broken her hip and my parents needed to go out of town to see her since I couldn't miss school
06:55They asked me to stay with Faye for a few days. I know the timing isn't great and you're mad at me. Don't be silly
07:01What are friends for?
07:02You packed all that makeup to bring over since when do you even have so much makeup?
07:07I went shopping yesterday. And what is this ridiculous bag? Wait, I've seen all the cheerleaders carrying this lately
07:13Are you gonna start waving pom-poms in my face next? Hey, is me staying over gonna be a problem?
07:18Ah, no, of course not fine
07:21I won't say anything although the amount of money you spent on that makeup could run a soup kitchen for a year
07:27Okay, okay. I'm done now, but she really wasn't she stared at me disapprovingly every day as we headed out for school
07:33She huffed away angrily whenever any of the popular girls gave me compliments or invited me to sit with them at recess and she gave
07:39Me the silent treatment as I headed out for the arcade in the evenings
07:43I'd met up with Lloyd there a couple more times and I thought it was going well
07:46Just as we were sharing another milkshake, we almost came close to kissing again when suddenly hey bestie
07:52I thought I'd find you here. Ooh, aren't you gonna introduce me to this hunky monkey?
07:56What say was here and she was dressed by the book to Lloyd Faye Faye Lloyd
08:02That's such a manly name. So Lloyd, can you show me how the photo booth works? Oh my gosh, it's so
08:10Confusing. Yeah, I can show you this was crazy. They was trying to steal the spotlight from me
08:15Oh two can play at that game. Oh, wow. Look at these photos. We'd make such a cute couple for sure
08:22If you say so Oh Lloyd, let's have a dance battle. All right. Oh Lloyd. Let's sing karaoke
08:29Okay, Oh Lloyd, let's get some cotton candy. Sure. Oh Lloyd. Let's shoot some zombies can do Oh Lloyd
08:37Let's break the basketball high score. I
08:40Know Lloyd, let's trade some prizes for our tickets. Whoa. Oh, please Lloyd
08:45Oh Lloyd this way coach. Come on Lloyd stop
08:50I don't know what's happening here, but it's freaking me out. It's not me. It's her. She's a phony me
08:56You're the phony look at her. What the heck look
08:59I don't know what's going on here, but you two clearly have some serious issues and I don't want to get in the middle of it
09:05Goodbye. Oh Lloyd come back. I can explain wait Kayla. Don't be a fool
09:10Suddenly, I heard a loud crack and turned to see Faye tumble to the floor. Oh these dumb heels. Hey, are you okay?
09:17I think I broke my ankle call an ambulance as we waited for the ambulance. They turned to me angrily
09:23This is all your fault me
09:25You're the one who thinks all boys are trash
09:27But then you just show up here to hit on Lloyd and ruin my chances with him. What's wrong with you?
09:32I don't want Lloyd. I was just trying to show you the mirror by acting like you
09:36She'll look pathetic trying to be someone you're not just to make some stranger like you
09:41I thought we were the cool smart ones who don't care about what's on the outside if you don't care about that
09:46Why does it bother you how I choose to dress or what I put on my face?
09:50You know what? You're just so used to bossing me around you're pissed off
09:54I'm doing something on my own that you don't agree with fine be a wannabe bimbo. We can't be friends then
10:00Thanks for letting me know that our friendship is conditional on me always listening to you
10:05The ambulance arrived and took Faye away. I didn't want to go to her place right away
10:09So I went to my own house to cry it out
10:11But to my shock I found my room was overflowing with gifts from Ricardo heart-shaped balloons bouquets and dozens of teddy bears
10:19This was all too much. And when I looked in the mirror, I didn't even recognize myself
10:23I had lost my chances with Lloyd and things with a were all messed up. Plus these new clothes were so
10:29Uncomfortable and that's when I realized all these troubles started with the book
10:33I opened it up to the final chapter and read in horror chapter 31
10:38Charm boys by cleaning up after their mess chapter 32 make boys sandwiches when they are sad
10:44This was not a magic guide to romance
10:46This was the most sexist book in the world and I had been such an idiot
10:50I needed to make it right the next day. I returned to the arcade only this time as boring old Kayla. Excuse me Lloyd
11:00Yeah, this is how I really look and I'm just here to apologize I've been acting like somebody
11:06I'm not which isn't cool or fair to you seems like you have some self-work to do most definitely. Okay. Well, sorry again
11:13Goodbye, hold on
11:15Do you want to get a milkshake as long as it's full fat the rest of the evening?
11:20We played arcade games and then went for a romantic walk by the river and Lloyd seemed to like me for me
11:26I went home on cloud 9 that night and when I woke up the next morning
11:30I was determined to fix everything else starting with Faye. I just wanted to apologize. You're right
11:35I shouldn't have to change anything about myself to get noticed or be liked by anyone Kayla
11:40I owe you an apology to to be honest. I just got jealous and insecure
11:45I mean you're out there trying to find your prince charming line perfectly happy just the two of us in the library
11:51I just didn't want anything to change we can have both Faye
11:54You'll always be my bestie no matter who else comes into my life
11:57I can handle that as long as whoever he is appreciates the Kayla that I know deal deal
12:02You
12:04It's me Ricardo, I've been searching for you for days. Why are you ignoring my gifts?
12:11There was something crazy in his eye Ricardo. You're coming on too strong
12:15You broke into my house to leave me gifts and now you're following me around
12:19We don't even know each other but we can spend our whole lives getting to know each other. We're meant to be I love you
12:26Oh, catch a hint, dude. She doesn't like you. No, I will not rest until you're mine
12:32Ricardo grabbed me by the wrist and I was about to panic when suddenly let go of her two boys battling over me
12:38Sounded like a fairy tale in a romance novel, but now that it was actually happening
12:42I didn't like it one bit and that's when I remembered the book the whack. Oh
12:47You break my heart. Didn't know you break my head. I don't want to be here anymore
12:54At least this book came to some good use girl I am so proud of you
13:01You
