00:00So I tiptoed my way to get closer, when this homeless guy popped out of nowhere and my soul left my body!
00:06Hey, honey, what's a pretty girl like you doing here at this time of the hour?
00:10That's none of your business!
00:12Oh, but it is! You look fancy! Got some money to spare?
00:16And with that, the homeless guy charged at my bag, but I held it tight from the other end and started screaming for my life!
00:23Jason heard it, came running, and kicked the homeless guy's butt!
00:26Have you been following me?
00:28Not intentionally. I was just in the neighborhood and saw you from a distance, so I thought I'd say hello.
00:34What were you doing in that alley?
00:36That's none of your business!
00:37Why are you screaming at me?
00:39I didn't know that this place is so unsafe. Why are you always so rude to me, Jason?
00:46All I've ever done is be nice to you and get you tickets and try to talk to you.
00:51I have this giant, stupid crush on you that I can't even do anything about, and you keep screaming at me like I'm a baby!
00:59You don't find me pretty, right?
01:01That's the problem! Just tell me the truth, Jason! But please, just stop being so heartless!
01:10Please, Masha. Please don't cry. I'm sorry. I really am. I never meant to hurt you.
01:15You're very pretty. So pretty that my heart hurts every time I see you.
01:19Really? You think I'm pretty?
01:21I think that's a very well-established fact.
01:24Then why were you at the game with that girl?
01:26She was just a friend.
01:28Jason wiped a tear off my cheek, and my body went numb at his touch.
01:32We laughed and talked for a little while before Jason dropped me back to my car.
01:36And the next morning, I woke up to a text from him that he wanted to take me out.
01:41I was over the moon to finally get a date with Jason, but I didn't tell Robert anything because I didn't want to jinx it.
01:47Till things got official. For our first date, Jason took me to a run-down amusement park that had been closed for years.
01:53And I was scared to the bone.
01:55Uh, Jason, I don't think we should be here. I've heard a rumor that this place is haunted.
02:01Years ago, some girl fell off that Ferris wheel, and her body was never found.
02:06Can we go to some other place, please?
02:08Oh, it's just a rumor. Now stay here, and I'll be right back.
02:11Don't leave me alone!
02:13But Jason was already running in the other direction.
02:15As I walked around the place, I felt a shadow behind me.
02:19Before I could react, something crawled up my legs, and I almost peed my pants.
02:23Please don't kill me. I swear, I'll do anything you say.
02:26I'm just 18. I haven't even had my perfect kiss yet.
02:29Masha, open your eyes.
02:31Nope, nope, nope. I've seen a lot of horror movies.
02:33You're just trying to lure me into opening my eyes, and then you'll steal my body and walk the earth.
02:38I will not fall for your tricks.
02:41Relax, it's just a cat.
02:43I slowly opened my eyes and saw Jason holding a cat in his arms.
02:47And I felt like such a fool.
02:49Just then, Jason snapped his fingers, and the whole park lit up.
02:53I was still taking it all in.
02:56When Jason took my hand and looked me deep in my eyes...
02:59So, you haven't had your perfect kiss yet, huh? Let's see if we can change that.
03:03He leaned in for a kiss, and so did I. And it was unreal.
03:08I'd never felt this connection with anyone in my life before.
03:11And I knew it then that I was falling for this guy.
03:14I ended up having the best time on our date.
03:17And when he dropped me back, all I could think about was how I was lying to Jason.
03:22He was simply perfect, and I felt like a jerk to take advantage of him.
03:26I had to come clean to Jason before we took anything forward.
03:29So the next day at school, I decided to talk to him.
03:32But he was nowhere to be seen.
03:34I went to the library and heard Robert and him arguing.
03:37You think you're so smart you can get away with anything.
03:39But mark my words, street rat, no one can outsmart me.
03:42Keep your empty threats and your money in your pocket, Robert.
03:45I'm not afraid of you anymore.
03:47That's because you haven't seen what I'm actually capable of.
03:51I will tell everyone that you and your family are staying here illegally.
03:55I can't stop you from doing what you want to,
03:57but I will not let you stop me from dating Masha any longer.
04:01Suit yourself.
04:02I slipped away quietly before either of the boys saw me, feeling totally confused.
04:07Robert asked Jason to stay away from me when he asked me to date him?
04:12And Jason was living in this country illegally?
04:15I had so many questions and only one way to get my answers.
04:19I texted Jason that I was skipping school and asked Robert to see me at the beach house.
04:23He got there an hour later, and I was so mad at him, I flung a vase at him, but he ducked.
04:29Are you trying to kill me?
04:30Oh, I wish. I wish I could kill you.
04:33But before that, you need to answer my questions.
04:36What kind of cruel, twisted game are you playing with me and Jason?
04:40Oh yeah, I heard you two arguing in the library.
04:43Then you also heard that he's staying in this country illegally.
04:46You know his dad is a fraud and currently in jail?
04:49That's not what I asked.
04:51Fine, I did what I did because I was tired of living under your shadow.
04:55What are you talking about?
04:56Do you remember as kids, no one even looked at me?
04:59All that people talked about was the pretty little Katie.
05:02I was always the ugly twin brother.
05:04I was good at studies, brilliant at sports, but no one cared.
05:08Robert, I know what happened to you wasn't easy, but it's not my fault.
05:12I also had my share of insecurities.
05:15Like what? A chipped nail or a bad haircut?
05:17I had to work for everything, but all you did was bat your eyelashes and drop a few tears.
05:22Do you know how annoying it is to always be second to someone in your own house?
05:26For once, I wanted to see you struggle.
05:29So I told Jason not to fall for your tricks.
05:32In return, I paid him money and kept his secret.
05:35Everything was going perfectly until Jason actually fell in love with you.
05:39And now he will pay.
05:41Robert, please. Jason's innocent.
05:43Whatever he did, he didn't need to be a part of our mess.
05:46Just leave him out of it.
05:48But he is a part of our mess because you love him.
05:52And now I will take him away from you.
05:55I've already alerted the authorities that he's living here illegally.
05:58And soon he'll be deported.
06:00You can say your final goodbyes if you want.
06:02You disgust me, Robert. I hate you.
06:05I ran outside, but I had no idea where Jason lived.
06:08The only address I had was of his aunt's cafe.
06:11So that's where I went.
06:12But unfortunately, it was shut.
06:14I tried calling Jason's cell phone, but it was out of reach.
06:17And there was no other way to get in touch with him.
06:19I felt like someone had punched me in my gut.
06:22And I couldn't help blaming myself for the situation he was in.
06:25I tried tracking Jason for a while, but it was useless.
06:28And eventually, I went back to my old life.
06:30But everything had changed.
06:32I got no pleasure in spending money.
06:34If anything, I wanted to do something more with my privilege.
06:38Dad was proud of me.
06:39So he helped me open up a small charity for immigrant kids looking for a good education.
06:43Then one day, I was organizing a camp in Mexico when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
06:48I left for some months to find you as a totally different person?
06:52Jason, that's really you? I can't believe it.
06:56Neither can I, Masha.
06:57Or should I say, Katie?
06:59I know you must hate me for what I did.
07:01But I had no idea Robert could do something so twisted.
07:04And when I finally knew the truth, it was too late.
07:07And I lost you, and...
07:09Katie, Katie, stop.
07:10Robert actually did me a favor.
07:12A lot of people lost money because of Dad, and they threatened my family.
07:16That's why me and my family settled in a new country illegally.
07:19But we were always living in fear.
07:21After we went, things had settled down, and I could finally live in peace.
07:25I'm studying law now and planning to fight for Dad.
07:28I don't know what to say, except I'm proud of you and I'm sorry.
07:32Losing you made me realize that all that matters in life is real love and friendship.
07:37So if you give me a chance, I'd like you to know the real me, new me.
07:42I like the sound of that. Cup of coffee, then?
07:44Will you make one for me?
07:46Let's not push it.
07:48Guys, I learned that stupid people like me realize that they love someone only after losing them.
07:54And never before.
