00:00Hey there, my name is Tamara, and this is my best friend, Rachel.

00:03No, she was gonna say Monica.

00:05Um, and who are you?

00:06I'm Tamara's best friend, ever since you ditched her for the glitz and glam of New York.

00:11I didn't ditch anyone. I'm 16. I just go wherever my parents take me.

00:15It looks like they took you to a daycare center,

00:17because your outfit is something my four-year-old niece would wear.

00:21Sounds like a chic four-year-old. Now back off.

00:23I'm back in Tamara's life, and she doesn't need you anymore.

00:27Thanks for babysitting her while I was gone, but bye-bye now.

00:30Babysitting? Our friendship is way deeper than that.

00:33I mean, my face unlocks her phone. See?

00:35That's nothing. I know her bank password.

00:37RachelTamaraLove112. Top that.

00:40Don't yell it. I've got a mole she got removed last year in my necklace.

00:44Ew, what? That's nothing.

00:46I've got two of her baby teeth right here in my earrings.

00:48Okay, this is weird enough. There's room for all three of us in this story.

00:52No, there's not.

00:54And with that, the hair-pulling started.

00:56While they're busy with that,

00:57I'll tell you the whole story of how this feud came to be.

01:00Growing up, I had an amazing but lonely life.

01:03My parents adopted me when they were pretty old,

01:05so they couldn't always keep up with the energy of a wannabe actress who was seven years old.

01:10Plus, I was an only child with no pets.

01:13So I grew up lonelier than a penguin in the desert.

01:16All my performances were long monologues without an audience.

01:20Then I became friends with my classmate Rachel, and everything changed.

01:24We'd experiment with makeup and ridiculous fashion,

01:27go swimming in the lake, and have spontaneous karaoke and dance sessions.

01:31She even practiced acting with me.

01:33I dreamed of being a Hollywood star, and she dreamed of designing my costumes and dresses.

01:38Rachel and I were inseparable, and I finally felt like a normal kid.

01:42But my world turned upside down on my 13th birthday,

01:45when Rachel's mom announced that her entire family was moving to New York City.

01:49Rachel threw a fit.

01:51You can't drag me away from Tamra!

01:53Yeah, and who's gonna French braid my hair

01:56and tell me that having mismatched socks isn't cute anymore?

01:59Rachel's mom's decision was final,

02:01and no matter how much we complained and cried, they left soon after.

02:05Our new lives away from each other were horrible.

02:08Rachel hated it there.

02:10She thought all New Yorkers were snobby and boring.

02:13For my part, I was all alone, again.

02:15One day, while I was eating alone at lunch,

02:17wondering what exactly salami was, when this new girl Monica showed up.

02:21Why are you looking at your sandwich like that?

02:24I'm trying to figure out what salami is.

02:26I was doing the same thing with my bologna.

02:28Maybe we can get to the bottom of those mysteries together?

02:31Monica smiled and sat next to me, and just like that, we were fast friends.

02:35As I got to know her, I learned that she was really shy,

02:39and was also an only child like me.

02:41We soon became inseparable, too.

02:43Rachel and I still talked on the phone,

02:45but apparently, she was getting used to her new life in the city.

02:48I accidentally stepped on a rat in the subway, and then fell,

02:51and the cutest guy came and helped me up.

02:53And now we're in a band together.

02:55I think I'm in love.

02:56Wait, you slipped on a rat?

02:57From then on, it was like she didn't need me anymore,

03:00and we started drifting away.

03:02Then, three years later,

03:03while Monica and I were crying over our new favorite tween drama, Summer Wishes,

03:08Rachel called me sobbing because her boyfriend dumped her.

03:11Everyone here is horrible.

03:14I just want to come back to Arizona.

03:17I ended up speaking to Rachel for an hour to calm her down,

03:20and Monica felt left out.

03:22That's when their rivalry began.

03:24It got even worse when Rachel's aunt and uncle

03:27let her move in with them back in Arizona.

03:29Of course, I was so happy she had returned home,

03:32but Monica, not so much.

03:34They just couldn't stand each other.

03:36Monica thought Rachel was a snob who made her feel small,

03:39while Rachel used to say that Monica was obsessed with me

03:42because she was insecure and had no other friends.

03:45Of course, I was always in the middle of their fight,

03:48sometimes literally.

03:50I needed them to get along for the sake of my mental health.

03:53So once, in the middle of one of their crazy fights,

03:56I had a light bulb moment and burst out,

03:58Stop! I can't take this anymore!

04:00I'm sick!

04:01Sick?

04:02Yeah, like really sick.

04:04Are you okay? Is it serious?

04:05Just like a pro actress, I started to improvise,

04:08even shedding a tear or two.

04:10I have a really strange skin condition.

04:12Normally, with a lot of makeup and skin creams,

04:15I manage to hide it.

04:16But when stress hits, it goes into full-out freak mode.

04:20So, unless you want me to transform into a human blowfish,

04:24can you two stop fighting all the time?

04:26Oh my god, I didn't have any idea.

04:29What is the name of your condition?

04:31Um, Stresszilla Skin Syndrome?

04:33Why didn't you tell us before?

04:35It's a weird thing to have.

04:36I didn't want to be left out because of it.

04:38Then I turned on the waterworks.

04:41We'll never do that.

04:42We love you no matter what.

04:44She's right, and we'll stop fighting.

04:45We swear.

04:46They both hugged me, crying too.

04:48I want to thank the Academy.

04:50Surprisingly, my crazy lie actually worked like a charm.

04:55Despite hating each other,

04:56Monica and Rachel put my condition first and stopped fighting.

05:00They were even compromising.

05:02Can you please cover your mouth when you sneeze?

05:04Only if you stop chewing with your mouth open.

05:07Deal.

05:07Those months were awesome.

05:09Monica and Rachel got used to each other,

05:11and I used my lie to improve my adding skills.

05:14I was like Meryl Streep, caught in my character.

05:16While a part of me felt horrible for having stretched the lie so far,

05:20my friends were so nice and went out of their way to take such good care of me

05:24that it was hard telling them the truth.

05:26Still, soon after, my lie was exposed.

05:29Oh, I went to see my dermatologist yesterday,

05:32and he told me there's no such thing as Stresszilla Skin Syndrome.

05:36Uh-oh.

05:37And all those fancy and super special creams you put on

05:40are just regular moisturizers and sunscreen.

05:42We know now.

05:43Wait, I can explain.

05:44I just said all that so you would stop fighting and be friends over your love for me.

05:49I mean, I can't believe you lied to us all this time.

05:52You just did it for attention.

05:53You had us waiting on you hand and foot.

05:55Yeah, it's kind of disgusting that you made up a disease to manipulate us.

05:59This is very upsetting.

06:01I need to go shopping to deal.

06:02I'll join you.

06:03And with that, the two of them left me behind.

06:06I felt really embarrassed and sad.

06:08They were right.

06:09I cried myself to sleep.

06:10But the next day, I tried to make things work again.

06:13Monica and Rachel were in the hallway laughing and joking.

06:16Maybe I could convince them that I wasn't so wrong.

06:19After all, my little lied brought them together.

06:22Hey, guys.

06:22Cute outfits.

06:23But they just ignored me and walked down the hallway towards Trevor,

06:27the it boy of the school.

06:28Every girl in our class, including Monica and Rachel, was crazy about him.

06:33I wasn't at all.

06:34In fact, he was my arch enemy because, just like me, he wanted to make it in Hollywood.

06:39We always fought for the lead roles in school plays.

06:41He was really good looking, but really dumb and not as talented as me.

06:46So he kind of resented me.

06:47That's why, when he saw the opportunity, he made a move to steal my friends from me.

06:52You girls are looking super stylish.

06:54Rachel has great taste.

06:55New York must have rubbed off on her.

06:57Aw, stop.

06:58You're the one with the amazing fashion sense.

07:00Suddenly, the two of them were BFFs, and they had completely forgotten about me.

07:05I felt so rejected and alone.

07:07One day, I heard Monica, Rachel, and Trevor mention my name in gym class.

07:11I hid behind the wall, eavesdropping.

07:14She is so pathetic.

07:16Yeah, no one likes her.

07:17She can't even act.

07:18I'm way better.

07:19Totally.

07:20Way better.

07:21I couldn't believe they were laughing at me.

07:23And whenever I walked past the trio, I was ignored.

07:26I wasn't only sad anymore, I was also really pissed.

07:30And I wanted my friends back.

07:32At lunch, I watched Trevor gulping down a Slurpee.

07:35His love for that sugary drink seemed like the perfect revenge.

07:39The next day in class, I spied on Trevor's phone passcode.

07:42I asked him if he wanted to finish my Slurpee.

07:4420 minutes later, he was running desperately to the bathroom.

07:48Yeah, I slipped in a laxative.

07:49I unlocked his phone and got to work.

07:52Rachel, can't stop thinking about you.

07:54Meet me at the bleachers after school.

07:56Monica, you're running laps around my mind.

07:58Meet me at the bleachers after school.

08:00I spied on them after school.

08:01Monica and Rachel showed up at the bleachers, but not Trevor.

08:05Monica, what are you doing here looking so cute?

08:08Trevor asked me on a date.

08:09What are you doing here looking like a queen?

08:12Trevor asked me on a date too.

08:14What the?

08:14And then Trevor showed up looking so embarrassed.

08:18Before Monica and Rachel could lunge at him, he jumped to his defense.

08:22I didn't send those texts.

08:23Someone hacked into my phone.

08:25Who?

08:25Uh-oh.

08:26I tried to slip away, but luck was not on my side.

08:29A strong breeze blew my hat off my head, and it landed right by the furious trio.

08:34They spotted me.

08:35Tamara!

08:36Yeah, what?

08:37Okay, fine.

08:37I did it.

08:38But how could you guys just replace me with this loser?

08:41You know I hate him.

08:42He's my nemesis.

08:43What?

08:44You don't care about us.

08:45You're just angry that you aren't the center of attention anymore.

08:48You are the ones who can't stop talking about me.

08:50Like in gym class, she's so pathetic.

08:53No one likes her.

08:54I heard it all.

08:55Monica and Rachel looked at each other, confused.

08:57Oh, you overheard us talking about Tamika from our favorite reality show, Cheaters and Liars.

09:03Wait, you thought we were talking about you?

09:06You may not have Stresszilla Skin Syndrome, but you do have a disease, Main Character Syndrome.

09:11You're totally right.

09:12Then I got super furious.

09:14Maybe because I knew they were right about me.

09:17Yeah, I may have Main Character Syndrome, but what about you two?

09:21You don't even really like each other.

09:23Yes, we do.

09:24We're friends.

09:24Oh, is that right?

09:26So you didn't say that Rachel was a snob who thinks she's better than everyone,

09:30but is really a drama queen with a superiority complex?

09:33What?

09:34You said that?

09:35I...

09:35Oh, don't play innocent now.

09:37You're the one who compared being friends with Monica to doing charity work.

09:40Like helping out the less fortunate.

09:42I did, but...

09:43Oh, nice to know how you really feel.

09:45Tamora was right about you.

09:46You were just a judgy and entitled brat.

09:49Said what?

09:50You know what?

09:50I don't need you guys.

09:51Glad we agree on that.

09:53Friendship's over.

09:54Monica and Rachel stormed off in different directions,

09:57and I realized I just made things much worse and lost my friends forever.

10:02We graduated high school a few months later without patching things up,

10:05and all went our own ways.

10:07I moved to LA to be an actor.

10:08I still missed Rachel and Monica a lot.

10:11Maybe that's why I didn't even make new friends,

10:13because I was afraid I'd blow it with them too.

10:16So I focused completely on my career.

10:18At first, it was tough, but then things started to look up.

10:22When I turned 19, I got my first movie.

10:25Okay, it was a very small role, but still, I was so excited.

10:29But just before the shooting started, I got a call from Monica.

10:32Rachel is really sick, Trevor told me.

10:34They started dating after high school, but now she's in the hospital.

10:38It's serious.

10:39I immediately burst into tears.

10:41I felt horrible.

10:42I lied about having a condition, and she actually got sick,

10:46and I wasn't there for her.

10:47Well, not anymore.

10:48I left LA immediately to visit Rachel in the hospital.

10:51When I got there, Monica was by her bedside.

10:53We three looked at each other and didn't even need to say sorry or anything.

10:57We just hugged as if we'd been together all that time.

11:00And then Rachel told us about her situation.

11:03I need a new kidney urgently.

11:05Trevor was a match and he agreed, but then he got cold feet and dumped me.

11:08Forget that jerk.

11:09You have us.

11:10Always.

11:11I wanted to donate my kidney to Rachel, but sadly, I wasn't a match.

11:14Neither was Monica.

11:16We were both devastated.

11:17It's okay.

11:18You tried.

11:18That's all that matters.

11:19Just do me a favor and delete all my embarrassing photos off social media after I'm—

11:24No!

11:25Don't even say it!

11:26We are not letting you go anywhere!

11:28Not a chance.

11:28This is not over.

11:30Monica and I started an online campaign to find a donor, but we couldn't find another

11:34match for her.

11:35There was only one way out.

11:37I went to see Trevor and offered him my dream.

11:40I talked with the producers of the film.

11:41I resigned and convinced them that you can play the part.

11:44It's just the part of a waiter, so I guess you can do it.

11:47Trevor liked my offer, but still hesitated.

11:50I don't know.

11:51My kidney is worth way more than a small part.

11:53I want to play superheroes and things like that.

11:55I did my best not to break his face.

11:58Maybe this is your big break.

12:00I mean, when the producers see you, they'll be like,

12:02that's a rough in the diamond.

12:04I mean, a diamond in the rough.

12:07Okay, I'll do it.

12:08I let out a joyful cry and hugged him tight.

12:11Careful!

12:11Don't want to damage my kidney.

12:12I made him swear not to tell Rachel and Monica that he was giving his kidney in

12:16exchange for a movie role.

12:18I let them think he just changed his own mind because I realized that I didn't need to make

12:23this about myself and be the main character.

12:25I just had to support my friend.

12:27The surgery was a success, and a few months later, Rachel made a full recovery.

12:31The day she stepped out of the hospital was the best day of our lives.

12:35Today, I'm still acting, waiting for my big break.

12:38Luckily, when the time comes, I'll be ready because I have like a hundred dresses for

12:43the red carpet from Rachel and Monica's super successful clothing line, Frenemy Fashions.

12:48So, this is my story.

12:49I mean, our story.

12:50I hope you love it as much as we do.

12:52Till next time, keep spreading the love.
