Transcript
00:00Hey friends, my name is... Well, let's go with Miriam for now.
00:02You see, I'm a pretty famous actress, so I can't just tell my real name.
00:06But trust me, this is going to be one of the wildest stories you'll find on MSA.
00:10Not only is it true, but it's also absolutely crazy.
00:14Growing up, I used to live with my Aunt Jane and my BFF slash cousin Jenny.
00:18We barely made ends meet until I got a role in a TV series,
00:21and my acting career took off.
00:23And next, I was doing movies.
00:25With fame came big changes.
00:26We moved to a mansion and enrolled in a posh school,
00:29being rich and famous was fun, but then came the paparazzi.
00:32OMG, getting your picture taken everywhere isn't as cool as it sounds.
00:36I loved acting, but I didn't enjoy all the attention.
00:39Jenny, on the other hand, craved attention.
00:42What's your problem with them?
00:43I'd be so happy if people chased me to get pictures.
00:45Seriously, they take the weirdest pics ever.
00:48Look at this one, and this one.
00:49It's like they're always lurking, ready to catch me at my worst.
00:53So what?
00:53You also get royal treatment, so it's part of the package.
00:56Well, Jenny wasn't wrong about the royal treatment part.
00:59Before the fame, I was a nobody, and the day my first movie became a hit,
01:03everyone was literally dying to be my friend.
01:06Even Chanel, who was the most popular slash meanest girl in school,
01:10and also a TikTok dance sensation.
01:12One lunchtime, Chanel came over to our table with a super fake smile.
01:16Hey, Miriam, saw your new movie last night.
01:18It was pretty decent.
01:19So how about you join me and my gang at my table?
01:22You know, us popular girls gotta stick together.
01:24Plus, these seats are for suckers anyway.
01:26Nah, I'm good here.
01:27Thanks, suit yourself.
01:28Saying that, Chanel turned to leave, and Jenny elbowed me.
01:32Are you crazy?
01:32That's Chanel.
01:33She'll be in Chris Brown's next music video.
01:35You can't say no to her.
01:36Hey, Chanel, wait up.
01:38We'd love to join.
01:39Who are you even?
01:40Oh, wait, you're Miriam's assistant, right?
01:42Cousin.
01:43And I'm actually a huge fan of yours, Chanel.
01:45Oh, seriously?
01:47You're way too desperate.
01:48I'd love to invite you to our table, but with those dorky glasses,
01:51that frumpy sweater, and oh my, that massive pimple.
01:55I just don't think you'd blend in.
01:57You're better off staying here and playing Miriam's little assistant.
02:00I saw Jenny's mood go from super excited to majorly bummed,
02:04and it made me feel really sorry for her.
02:06Hey, don't sweat it.
02:07Chanel's just being a mega jerk.
02:09Easy for you to say.
02:10Everyone loves you, talks nicely to you because you're all famous and stuff.
02:14Fame isn't all it's cracked up to be.
02:15If I could trade places with someone and live a normal life,
02:18even just for some time, no paparazzi or drama,
02:21I'd do it in a heartbeat.
02:23For real?
02:23Totally.
02:24I just want people to treat me normally,
02:26without all the vague flattery and annoying cameras in my face.
02:29Then let's do it.
02:30Let's switch places.
02:31I'll be you, handling the fame and attention,
02:33and you can enjoy a chill, paparazzi-free life
02:36like you've been wanting for so long.
02:37I mean, we're not twins, but we do kind of look alike, right?
02:41We share the same family genes after all.
02:42I could dye my hair, ditch the glasses,
02:45and boom, it might just work.
02:46Please, please, Miriam, give it a chance.
02:49Um, well, okay.
02:51I suppose it could work.
02:52Aunt June is on vacation for a couple of weeks,
02:55and I just finished filming a movie, and I am on break,
02:58so I guess we can give it a shot.
03:00Woo-hoo!
03:00Honestly, I wasn't sure about the plan,
03:02but just for Jenny's sake, I agreed.
03:04I really wanted to make her happy.
03:06Once home, we started mission switch identities.
03:09I dyed my hair pitch black while Jenny bleached hers blonde,
03:12just like my natural color.
03:14After swapping our outfits and spending what felt like forever
03:17messing around with makeup,
03:18we stood before the mirror and my jaw drew to the floor.
03:21Pretty good, huh?
03:22Wow, I can't believe this.
03:24Jenny, we might actually be able to pull this off.
03:26Yay!
03:27When I started school as Jenny, it felt awesome to be normal.
03:30It was like a break from all the flashing cameras and fans.
03:34But when Jenny strutted in as me,
03:36oh boy, it was a whole show.
03:38She wore this super flashy dress,
03:40and as she walked in, the crowd went wild,
03:43cheering and clapping like she was a superstar.
03:45She blew kisses like she was on a red carpet.
03:48See how well I take in fame?
03:49It's like I was meant for it.
03:51If you say so, Jenny.
03:52Later in our first class together,
03:54Jenny spotted a guy sitting in my usual spot,
03:57and whoa, she went complete diva mode.
04:00Are you nuts?
04:00This is my seat, and I don't share it with losers like you.
04:04The last time I checked the class
04:05had a first-come, first-get rule on seats.
04:08Did it change?
04:09Whoa, you've got some nerve to talk back to me.
04:12Let's teach you a lesson.
04:13Boys, it was like looking at a total new side of Jenny.
04:16The poor guy ran out in tears.
04:18I couldn't take it anymore, and I had to say something.
04:20OK, that's enough, Jenny.
04:22I mean, Miriam.
04:23Come with me.
04:24Now.
04:24I pulled Jenny into the girls' bathroom
04:26to have a serious chat.
04:27She was giving off such negative vibes,
04:29and I was seriously regretting this whole identity switch.
04:32You can't treat people badly just
04:34because you're rich and famous.
04:36Why not?
04:36It's like this superpower, you know?
04:38I can do anything, and people will still adore me.
04:41As we kept arguing, we suddenly heard the toilet flush.
04:44Our hearts raced as we froze, hoping nobody had heard us.
04:47The door slowly creaked open, and guess who walked out?
04:50The same guy whose glasses Jenny got
04:52crushed by her new minions.
04:54Didn't you read the girls' only sign?
04:56Oh, I'm in the girls' bathroom.
04:57Oh, no.
04:58Actually, I can't see without my glasses.
05:00I'm really sorry.
05:01I'm going.
05:02Ouch.
05:03Do you now see why I can't be nice to losers like this?
05:06Deal with him, or I'm out of here.
05:07I couldn't leave him there alone, so I offered to help.
05:10Here, grab my hand.
05:11I'm Jenny.
05:12What's your name?
05:13I'm Calvin.
05:14Thank you for helping, Jenny.
05:15Slowly, slowly.
05:16Now sit.
05:17Perfect.
05:17We spent the rest of the day together,
05:19and I found out he had recently moved to our town with his mom
05:22to live with his new dad and half-sister.
05:24My jaw nearly hit the floor when he revealed her identity.
05:27Chanel.
05:28Chanel?
05:29You mean Chanel, as in the meanest girl at school, Chanel?
05:32Wait till I tell you she's way meaner at home than in school.
05:36Thank goodness you're nothing like her.
05:38And thank goodness you're nothing like that cousin of yours.
05:41I hated that Jenny was giving me a bad name.
05:43At home, I tried to talk to her, but she blew up on me instead.
05:46Are you jealous that I'm handling this better than you?
05:49People like me more.
05:50You like me when I act like a suck-up to you, don't you?
05:52It's not that, Jenny, and you know it.
05:54Being nice doesn't mean you're sucking up to them.
05:57Fine.
05:58Do whatever you want.
05:59The next day, Calvin showed up at my locker.
06:01Thanks for yesterday.
06:02I don't know what I would have done without you.
06:04No problem.
06:05Hanging out with you was fun.
06:06Calvin then gave me a tiny wrapped present.
06:08I tore it open and found a beautiful necklace inside.
06:12It was the first time someone gave me a gift just because.
06:15Not expecting a shout-out later.
06:16I was thrilled.
06:17Thank you, Calvin.
06:18I love it.
06:19As Calvin helped me put it on, Chanel approached us with a sly smile.
06:23Well, well, well.
06:25Look who we have here.
06:26Two lovebirds exchanging gifts.
06:28It's not even real.
06:29Maybe not, but it's way more real than your TikTok fame
06:33and those authentic photos you share on social media.
06:36Your editing fails even leave the Kardashians shocked.
06:39Why, you little...
06:40I'll see you at home.
06:41Calvin and I laughed as Chanel stormed off.
06:44I pity you.
06:45How do you handle her at home?
06:46I could ask you the same thing.
06:48You got a real diva at home.
06:50Everyone knows how stuck-up actresses can be.
06:53I wondered how Calvin would react if he ever found out about our identity switch.
06:56Would he treat me differently or the same?
06:59But for now, I chose to keep our secret.
07:01Life at school was cool, except Jenny was being meaner to others
07:04and acted like she owned the place.
07:05She even started to hang out with Chanel of all people.
07:08No matter how much I told her to take it down a notch,
07:11she didn't listen and instead would get annoyed at me.
07:14So I stopped talking to her and that really riled her.
07:17But I didn't care because I was caught up with Calvin
07:19and falling for him, lost in my own world.
07:21Oh my god, you won't believe what happened.
07:24That hot guy in science class, he asked me out.
07:26Miriam, tell me what I should wear.
07:27How should I do my hair?
07:28Help me choose.
07:29You're the star.
07:30I'm sure you can do it yourself.
07:31Oh, excuse me.
07:32It's Calvin.
07:33That nerd.
07:34Why is he always hanging out with you?
07:35Miriam, Jenny would never date a dork like that.
07:38You hanging out with him will ruin my image.
07:40You hanging out with Chanel and acting like a jerk is ruining my image.
07:44Want to switch back?
07:45No?
07:46I didn't think so.
07:47It was my two-week friend-diversary with Calvin
07:49and I had this brilliant idea of having a karaoke night at my place.
07:52We were having a blast, singing our hearts out.
07:55But then Jenny asked to join us.
07:57Even though I flat out refused to let her in, Calvin welcomed her.
08:00Little did I know the karaoke would turn into a crazy karaoke showdown.
08:05Get ready to see something amazing.
08:07You really think you can beat me?
08:09Keep dreaming, nerd.
08:10As they went head to head in a musical battle,
08:12I could feel the tension building.
08:14But just when Jenny's singing hit a breaking point,
08:17she did something shocking.
08:18She smashed the microphone.
08:20Then, in a fit of frustration,
08:22she wrecked the whole karaoke set and stormed off.
08:25I was shocked and angry,
08:27ready to chase after her and give her a piece of my mind.
08:29But Calvin stopped me.
08:30Jenny, hold on.
08:32Maybe she's feeling the pressure of fame.
08:34You know how it can be tough for celebrities
08:36dealing with all the attention and expectations.
08:38Let's give her some time to cool off.
08:40His words made total sense.
08:42Over the weekend after my gym class,
08:44I got a text from Jenny asking to meet up.
08:46We went to a cozy cafe near the gym.
08:48Jenny seemed truly sorry.
08:50Miriam, I'm truly sorry for ruining your karaoke night.
08:53I've been acting terribly because of this fame.
08:56I do enjoy it, but even the kids at school are different with me now.
08:59I don't think they genuinely like me.
09:01It feels like they're only pretending because I...
09:03I mean, you're famous and rich.
09:06It's okay, Jenny.
09:06I got caught up with Calvin and I'm sorry for neglecting you.
09:09But the way you acted at school pushed me away.
09:12I can imagine the pressure of fame.
09:14Do you want to maybe put an end to all of this?
09:16We can return to being ourselves.
09:18Um, how about after the launch party of your new movie?
09:21I just want to experience being a star for one night
09:23and then we end this, okay?
09:25Deal.
09:25During lunch, people asked Jenny for autographs and photos.
09:28She happily smiled for the camera and loved the attention.
09:31Later at home, we found Calvin in my room standing in a mess.
09:35What are you doing here?
09:36You texted me to meet you at...
09:39OMG, you're stealing!
09:41Look, it's your jewelry and these expensive decorations.
09:44Calvin, I can't believe you do this.
09:46Did you use mere Jenny to rob us?
09:48I'm calling the cops this instant.
09:50I snatched the phone from Jenny before she could call the cops
09:52and then I slapped her.
09:54I know I'm easy to trust people, but I'm not a fool.
09:57I know you're framing Calvin.
09:58I saw you using my phone in the cafe when I went to give an order.
10:01But I never knew you could do all this.
10:04What happened to you?
10:05What happened to me?
10:06Ugh, what happened to you?
10:08How could you let some average-looking, glasses-wearing, ugly dork come between us?
10:11Enough!
10:12Get out!
10:13Leave!
10:13Now!
10:14You don't mean it.
10:14Don't make me say it again.
10:16You know well it's my mansion and I can kick you out anytime I want.
10:20I hate you!
10:20Once Jenny left, I apologized to Calvin, who was upset about the situation.
10:24I called my aunt to spill the beans about everything.
10:27She said not to stress as she'd already talked to Jenny
10:30and told me how she'd be home soon, but she didn't.
10:32The next day felt pretty depressing.
10:34I was still annoyed at Jenny,
10:35but I still just wanted her to return so we could patch things up.
10:39But my hope got drowned in the school hallway when everyone was glaring at me.
10:43I couldn't make sense of it until I spotted a video of Jenny
10:46making the rounds among my classmates.
10:48That's when it hit me.
10:49Because of our argument from the previous night,
10:51Jenny made a video telling the entire school lies about me.
10:55Seriously, guys, you won't believe the things I faced.
10:58Miriam's turned me into her personal butler.
11:00From laundry to homework, she's got me doing it all.
11:03I swear, I felt like Cinderella while she played the wicked stepsister.
11:07She even made me switch places with her just to pull a prank on poor Calvin.
11:11She calls him a nerd behind his back while pretending to be head over heels for him.
11:15All to humiliate Chanel, whom we all know is a total saint.
11:19She's just jealous that Chanel is a rising star and one day might take her place.
11:24The aftermath of Jenny's nasty video was a total nightmare.
11:28Kids were snickering at me, and Chanel seemed to be having a field day seeing me miserable.
11:32And when I tried to talk to Calvin, he gave me the cold shoulder.
11:35Stay away, Jen.
11:36Miriam, whatever.
11:38I thought we had something.
11:39We did.
11:40We do.
11:41No, I can't even trust you.
11:43You're a liar.
11:44When I got home, Aunt was there, and she comforted me.
11:46She said Jenny would come back when she felt better,
11:48and she's staying at their old home for a while.
11:51Everything seemed to be spinning out of control.
11:53So I decided to go live and clear everything.
11:55Hey, everyone.
11:56I messed up big time, and I'm really sorry.
11:59Jenny, my cousin, came up with the idea for us to switch identities,
12:02and I went along with it.
12:04I shouldn't have lied, especially to Calvin, who I really care about.
12:07I liked being normal for a while, but it somehow got out of hand.
12:10I just want to say I miss you, Jenny, and I love you.
12:13The things I said to you that day, I regret them.
12:15And Calvin, I'm not a perfect person.
12:18There are many things I wish I didn't do, but I continue learning.
12:22I never meant to do those things to you.
12:23And so I have to say before I go that I just want you to know
12:27I found a reason for me to change who I used to be.
12:31A reason to start over new.
12:32And the reason is you.
12:34With that, I ended the video.
12:36And then I went ahead and deleted all my social media accounts for some peace of mind.
12:40A week passed, and I finally mustered the courage to return to school.
12:43And surprisingly, people were smiling at me, genuinely.
12:46And some even hugged me.
12:48Some even asked how I felt and offered to listen if I wanted someone to talk to.
12:53At lunch, I noticed Jenny scanning the cafeteria for an empty seat.
12:56And the only two that were left were beside me and one next to Chanel.
13:00She tried sitting next to Chanel, but the witch straight up told her off.
13:03I decided to be the bigger person and invited Jenny to sit with me.
13:06But she turned me down cold.
13:08I don't need your sympathy, Miriam.
13:09Listen, Jenny, we can't keep fighting.
13:12Aunt June and I miss you, and we want you to come back home.
13:15I'd rather count the sands on the beach than live with you again.
13:17You kicked me out of your mansion, remember?
13:19She was determined to stay mad, and there was no convincing her.
13:23That evening, while Aunt June and I sat to watch the latest MSA video,
13:26we heard a loud knock on the door.
13:28And when I went to check, it was Jenny.
13:30Before I could say anything, she broke into tears, crying.
13:33I'm sorry for saying bad things about you, Miriam,
13:35and telling on you to everyone at school.
13:37It was just the way you and Calvin were so happy together.
13:40I had no one to talk to.
13:42Yeah, I had friends, but no one compares to you.
13:45And I let my jealousy get the best of me.
13:47Please, forgive me, Miriam.
13:49It doesn't matter.
13:50As long as we're all back together, safe, we'll work things out.
13:53And then, we shared the longest hug before Jenny's voice broke the silence.
13:57I know I ruined things between you and Calvin,
13:59but I got him to come over with me so both of you can talk.
14:02Right then, Calvin walked in with a warm smile.
14:05This was the first time he'd smiled at me since the incident.
14:08And I felt butterflies in my tummy, leaping for joy.
14:11Would you like to take a long walk with me?
14:13How about we start over?
14:15I'd like that.
