00:12Life used to be all fun and games with my twin Nadia.
00:15We did everything together. Watched cartoons, played games, and even wore identical clothes.
00:19We were so alike, even our parents got mixed up.
00:22But as we grew older, things changed.
00:24We started liking different things, and by the time we were in 5th grade, everyone saw that Nadia was way smarter than me.
00:30Mom was a university teacher, and she was always talking about Nadia's good grades to everyone and giving her extra lessons.
00:36She tried with me once, but when I didn't understand quickly, she just sighed.
00:40Some kids shine, others don't.
00:42It made me feel bad.
00:44Nadia's study sessions grew longer, and our playtime disappeared, like our matching outfits.
00:49How about a cartoon break? For old time's sake!
00:51Can't. Mom thinks they're just a distraction now.
00:53And then, Mom started giving me more and more house chores.
00:57At first, I didn't mind helping, but then I noticed she was doing it on purpose to keep me away from my sister.
01:02Leave your sister alone. She's studying. Go wash the dishes.
01:05But I just wanted a little help with my math.
01:07Ask your teacher for help.
01:09Nadia's busy, and those dishes aren't going to wash themselves.
01:12And after that, you can organize your closet.
01:15If you can't manage that mess, you're not gonna get very far ahead in life.
01:18You don't always have to be like that.
01:20It's alright, Christina, honey. Let's go do the dishes together.
01:23Nadia and I were growing distant.
01:24Mom paid me no attention, and she and Dad fought a lot, mostly about the way she treated me.
01:29And I couldn't help feeling that I was the reason our family was tearing apart.
01:33Eventually, Mom and Dad split up, and I ended up moving out with Dad to a really dingy apartment.
01:39Look on the bright side, honey. Adventures await us.
01:42Adventures, huh? More like nightly mouse marathons and indoor rain.
01:46This place just needs a little love. And you can choose the decor. Pink for your room?
01:51Maybe black, just like my future.
01:53Surprisingly, I came home to find one wall in my room painted black.
01:57Dark moments show us how the little things can shine.
02:00He put bright flowers against the black wall.
02:03Notice how the colors stand out now?
02:04It's pretty, I guess.
02:06You'll understand someday. Always look for the bright spots.
02:09Positive thinking was tough, especially with school growing weirder by the day.
02:14Everyone at school thought of me as the other dumb sister.
02:17Even my teachers seemed to feel sorry for me.
02:19Christina, maybe put in some extra effort? You might surprise yourself.
02:23Sure. I'll ask Mom for help.
02:25Oh, wait. She's too busy with her star student.
02:28I left the classroom upset when I heard Nadia's voice behind me in the hallway.
02:32What's wrong now?
02:33Just another day of me growing tired of being compared to you.
02:36It's not my fault. I just keep to myself. It must be nice not worrying about anyone else.
02:41I was walking off, but Nadia grabbed my arm.
02:43Hey, listen. I know you're upset, but there's something I can't tell you right now.
02:47It's why I am the way I am now.
02:49Please, trust me. Or maybe you're just self-absorbed.
02:52And that's some stupid, mysterious lie you made up to make yourself sound more interesting.
02:57Well, it's not working, cuz not interested.
03:00Later, Nadia went to a fancy school for smart kids, and things got quiet.
03:05I missed her a lot, because even though we drifted apart, she was still my twin after all.
03:10And after that, I hardly saw her anymore.
03:12Even when I visited Mom's place, Mom was always too wrapped up in her own world.
03:16And I couldn't help but notice that among the family photos on the walls, there wasn't a single one of just me.
03:22On my 15th birthday, Dad had a big grin and said he had a surprise for me.
03:26Guess what? I've got a girlfriend!
03:29She's Italian and she owns a pet shop. Let's go see it.
03:32Vanessa's super cool. You'll see.
03:33We walked into the pet shop, and it was like a jungle.
03:36Instead of puppies and kittens, there were snakes and big bugs.
03:40Holy moly, what is this?
03:42Vanessa had a big snake around her neck and smiled.
03:45That's just Ziggy, my whip scorpion. He's nice once you get to know him.
03:49Vanessa was full of energy and made the scary animals seem cool.
03:53And this majestic creature is Mr. Bean, the python. He's quite the gentleman.
03:58I thought I was the man in your life.
04:00Oh, you are. But Mr. Bean here is the silent type, and he never complains about my cooking.
04:06The way they were flirting with each other was so cringy.
04:10On the drive back, Dad wouldn't stop talking about Vanessa, and it was too much.
04:14Dad, I like Vanessa, but I'm not ready for a new mom.
04:17He looked sad, but I had to say it.
04:19Next time he invited me out with them, I said no.
04:22It felt like everyone was moving on except me.
04:25Dad had Vanessa, Nadia was busy being smart, and here I was feeling stuck and unnoticed.
04:30Vanessa, the snake lady, started hanging out at our place a lot.
04:34One afternoon, she was trying to bake a pumpkin pie,
04:37and she dumped a whole bag of flour on the floor and then tripped over the cat.
04:41I couldn't help laughing, even though I was trying to ignore her.
04:45After some time, Vanessa plopped a piece of pie in front of me, raising an eyebrow.
04:49Truce? She asked, and honestly, it smelled too good to ignore.
04:53Look, I know you don't like having me in your dad's life, and honestly, I never saw myself as a stepmom.
04:59I'm more like a free spirit, you know?
05:02But hey, your dad's got my heart doing cartwheels, so let's try to be friends, huh?
05:06I'm not like your typical stepmom witch type.
05:09Does that mean you won't give me a hard time for eating junk food?
05:12I'm the one offering pie for lunch, aren't I?
05:15Okay, she was quirky, and she had a point.
05:19Later on, I found myself helping her cook, and dad got all teary seeing us getting along.
05:24Turns out, Vanessa was kinda cool to have around,
05:27but I still felt a bit like I was on the sidelines of everyone else's game.
05:30One day in my room, I noticed the flowers next to the black wall looking sad, their petals falling.
05:36Time for new flowers!
05:37Fresh flowers had become my thing.
05:39They cheered up the room.
05:40At the flower shop, I met Mrs. Garcia for the first time.
05:43She was super cool, zipping around in her wheelchair, arranging bouquets with the biggest smile.
05:48Pick whatever makes you smile, Christina!
05:50She said, handing me the brightest bunch.
05:52I walked out of the flower shop super happy with my new flowers.
05:56I wasn't looking where I was going and didn't see a bike coming.
05:59It knocked me over, and I blacked out.
06:01I woke up in a hospital bed, and Nadia was there looking super worried.
06:05She ran off to find dad as soon as I opened my eyes.
06:08The doctor said I'd hit my head pretty badly and was out for three whole days,
06:12but they checked me over and said I could go home.
06:14Back in my room, something about my flowers caught my eye.
06:17They seemed cooler somehow.
06:19I grabbed a pen and paper and started drawing,
06:22really getting into all the shapes and patterns I could see.
06:24What's up with you?
06:25Did you know flowers are kinda like math?
06:28They've got these patterns that are all just cool!
06:30Nadia looked at my drawings and turned white as a ghost.
06:33No way!
06:34Here, try these math problems.
06:36Stuff that used to look like alien code suddenly just made sense.
06:40I even solved the complex equations.
06:42Did my brain just level up or what?
06:45We gotta tell mom.
06:46Like she'd care to check on me.
06:47She's not heartless, okay?
06:48She was actually worried.
06:50Don't defend her.
06:51You don't know everything.
06:52Then tell me.
06:53I told you, I can't.
06:54Ugh, then just go ahead and leave.
06:56I don't even wanna know your stupid secret.
06:58Later, when mom popped by, she barely glanced at dad and Vanessa
07:02and came straight to me with a stack of papers.
07:04It's time for a little test, Christina.
07:06After I finished, she examined the papers and just said,
07:09Pack up, you're staying with me now.
07:11Uh, what?
07:12Can we talk about this first?
07:13No need.
07:14She's got a gift and I'm going to make sure it doesn't go to waste.
07:17Wait, you can't just show up and decide to take her.
07:20Where were you before and why are you suddenly loving her now?
07:23My god, I can't believe I'm even standing here listening to you.
07:26A nobody.
07:27I'm her mother.
07:28But if you must know, Christina might have acquired savant syndrome.
07:32And it's not something either of you can deal with.
07:34I can help her.
07:35She explained that sometimes a head bump can switch on a talent for things like art or math.
07:40She thought that's what had happened to me.
07:42And I couldn't help feeling excited.
07:44Could this be my shot to shine and get mom's attention?
07:47I begged dad and finally, he said yes.
07:50Better watch out, Christina.
07:51My cousin in Rome got that acquired savant syndrome.
07:55He became arrogant and out of real pain.
07:57Then he bumped his head again and went back to being stupid.
08:01Not that you're stupid, but you know what I mean.
08:04What kind of dumb syndrome is that, Vanessa?
08:06Did you come up with it while watching cartoons?
08:08I ignored mom and ran to hug Vanessa before leaving.
08:11Mom enrolled me in Nadia's school and on my first day, I felt nervous.
08:15But I noticed Nadia was popular and people were also interested in me.
08:19When they wondered why I just started there, Nadia jumped in.
08:22She was sick and overseas for treatment.
08:24Come on, Christina.
08:25Later, I asked her why she lied.
08:26Mom's orders.
08:27Just play along, okay?
08:28That sounded weird, but I brushed it off because I had lots to do.
08:32Before long, I caught up with all the schoolwork and even started getting better grades than Nadia.
08:37That's when mom finally said she was proud of me for the first time in my life.
08:42And late one night, I overheard mom screaming at Nadia in the living room.
08:46You call this a report card?
08:47Pathetic.
08:48All the years I spent working so hard with you, down the drain.
08:52I'm trying my best.
08:53Your best?
08:54Your best is a joke.
08:55You're nothing like your sister.
08:57If you don't smarten up, you'll be a nobody, just like your father.
09:00Hearing this, I felt stunned.
09:02Why was mom being so harsh with Nadia?
09:04And calling dad a loser?
09:05That was just mean.
09:06I snuck into Nadia's room later and told her I heard the argument.
09:10Great.
09:10Now what?
09:11Mom's on my case, expecting the best, and you're making it harder.
09:14You're doing all this for her?
09:16Yes.
09:17She's always pushing me, being super strict.
09:19If I don't do well, she gets really mean.
09:22And I can't deal with that.
09:24I didn't say anything before about how mean she is.
09:26Because I thought I wanted to be the best too, and she was helping me.
09:30Now it just feels like she's making me miserable.
09:33Mom was even tougher on Nadia than I thought, and hearing that shook me.
09:37And now, mom was dragging me to these math contests too that usually Nadia competed in.
09:41I didn't want to stress out Nadia more, but I also wanted to shine.
09:45Was that so bad?
09:46And soon, I was winning the math contest with record-breaking results.
09:50People started calling me a genius.
09:52Reporters interviewed me, I got my pictures taken, and I even spoke at mom's university.
09:57All that praise and validation should have felt good, but somehow, I still felt empty inside.
10:03This isn't what I wanted!
10:04Ugh!
10:05That weekend, I needed to clear my head, so I visited dad.
10:08On the way, I stopped by the old flower shop.
10:10Mrs. Garcia was there.
10:12Hey, Christina!
10:13What's new?
10:14How are you feeling now after the accident?
10:17And catching up with her, I spilled out my whole story.
10:20She was putting together a bouquet as she listened.
10:22Then she looked up and said,
10:23You know, Christina, a flower doesn't worry about being the tallest or the brightest in the bunch.
10:28It just grows at its own pace.
10:30That's kind of like us too.
10:32Suddenly, it made sense.
10:34Being myself was enough, whether I was winning math contests or not.
10:38Dad, Vanessa, and my friends didn't care about any trophies.
10:41They just liked me for me.
10:43They always had.
10:43Mom was the one caught up in who was the tallest, brightest flower.
10:47But Mrs. Garcia saw something else.
10:49A garden where every flower mattered.
10:51Seeing Nadia so unhappy just trying to please mom made me sad.
10:56I used to be jealous, but not anymore.
10:58And I decided that something had to change.
11:00I got dad and Vanessa on board and we cooked up a plan.
11:03We just needed the perfect time to kick it off.
11:05That chance came during a live TV interview with me and mom.
11:08The host asked me what it was like growing up with a ton of books.
11:12She loved it.
11:13Actually, that was Nadia.
11:14She always had her head in a book and never got to have any fun.
11:17The crowd was shocked and mom got stiff.
11:20I wasn't the bookworm.
11:21My smarts came after a head bump.
11:23You mean the illness you had.
11:25That's just mom's story.
11:26She didn't want to acknowledge she had a dumb kid, I guess.
11:29Be quiet.
11:30I won't.
11:30And I don't care about winning math contests.
11:32Nadia doesn't either.
11:33We're done trying to please you.
11:35With that, I walked off and went backstage to find Nadia.
11:38Why'd you do that?
11:39Mom didn't bat an eye when she separated us, ruined her marriage, and used you to become popular.
11:44She ignored me all my life and now she's using me.
11:48Nadia, we deserve better.
11:50Aren't you tired of being mom's puppet?
11:51Come with me.
11:52We bolted before mom could stop us.
11:54Dad was outside, ready to whisk us away.
11:56You can't take my kids.
11:58They're old enough to choose.
11:59Or do you want to take this up in court?
12:01Mom looked furious, but she stayed quiet and we went home.
12:05Vanessa had a lovely dinner waiting and it felt like a fresh start.
12:09And Nadia started helping Vanessa with the snakes.
12:11And it seemed to be her calling working with those slimy creatures.
12:15As for me, I'm still figuring things out.
12:17But for now, I'm just happy with the good stuff around me.
