00:00Hi there, I'm Emma, and I'm obsessed with shopping.
00:03Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:05I go to the mall every day and shop at the most exclusive boutiques.
00:08I'll take the Balenciaga dress, three of the Louis Vuitton shoes,
00:11and four of your most expensive handbags.
00:14One time, I found the most perfect dress for the winter formal.
00:16It fit like a glove and made me look like a princess.
00:19I swear it was made for me.
00:21When I went to the counter to pay for it,
00:23the most terrible thing happened.
00:25Miss, your credit card has been declined.
00:26I was shocked! No way that could be right!
00:28I wasn't even using my card, it was my dad's.
00:31I borrowed it from his wallet because mine was maxed out.
00:34I had only been using it for two days.
00:35Try it again. There must be some mistake.
00:37The clerk ran the card three more times, and it still didn't work.
00:41Then I saw this witch, Shelly, from my school smirking at me.
00:44If I didn't act now, she'd snag my dress.
00:46So, I took drastic measures.
00:48I snatched the dress off the counter.
00:50I'll pay you back tomorrow, I promise.
00:51This dress is meant for me. I can't let it go.
00:54Then I darted toward the door, but the security guard tackled me.
00:57Ten minutes later, my parents picked me up, and they were furious.
01:00They convinced the store not to press charges.
01:02No more credit cards, and no more shopping.
01:04But dad, it's not my fault your credit card got declined.
01:06My parents got so mad, their faces turned bright red.
01:09Emma, your behavior is unacceptable.
01:11You spend money like it grows on trees.
01:13Technically, money is made of a special currency paper
01:15composed of 75% cotton and 25% linen.
01:18And since cotton comes from trees, then actually...
01:21That's not the point.
01:22Money comes from hard work, and you need to learn that.
01:25What dad said next turned my world upside down.
01:28Our trip to the Cayman Islands is canceled.
01:30You're getting a summer job to pay off your debts.
01:32I was devastated. It was totally unfair.
01:34I begged him to reconsider, but he insisted.
01:36So, I decided to try getting a job at one of my favorite clothing stores.
01:40I totally impressed the manager with my fashion knowledge,
01:42and he hired me on the spot.
01:43There was just one problem.
01:45The job came with a great employee discount.
01:48I could buy twice as many clothes for the same price.
01:51How could I resist that?
01:53I'll take the Gucci pants, the Prada watch, and two bottles of the Chanel perfume.
01:57Except my parents weren't exactly happy
01:59when I ended up maxing out my mom's credit card.
02:01I didn't mean to, but I ended up spending more than I was making at my job.
02:05And to make matters worse,
02:07I spent so much time trying on the clothes and not taking care of the customers
02:11that my manager fired me.
02:13Get another job now, or I'll make you sell all your clothes.
02:17That was not an option.
02:18I tried getting a job at other clothing stores,
02:21but word got around that I wasn't a good employee,
02:23and nobody would hire me.
02:25While I was in my bedroom, crying into a Prada dress
02:28that I'd bought on sale, by the way, which practically made it free,
02:31my best friend Jodi came over to comfort me.
02:33Maybe you could find a job that isn't at a clothing store.
02:36That's when I remembered that Jodi was leaving in a few days
02:39to go work at a summer camp as a counselor,
02:41and she'd mentioned in passing that they paid really well.
02:44What if I came with you to the summer camp?
02:46Do you think they'd hire me if you put in a good word?
02:48I don't know, Emma.
02:49Last time we went on a hike, a bird pooped on your Prada jumpsuit,
02:52and you had a panic attack.
02:54That jumpsuit was a limited edition.
02:55It was like family.
02:57And don't let me get started on that bird.
02:59It was a maniac.
03:00There's a warrant out for its arrest.
03:01Okay, there wasn't a real warrant,
03:03but I did file a police report, and I tried to get a restraining order.
03:07Please, Jodi, I really need that job.
03:09If I have to sell my clothes, I might as well die.
03:13Fine, I guess it will be fun to hang out together all summer.
03:16But you better not make me look bad.
03:18Jodi got me the job, and I spent the next few days
03:20planning all the cute outfits I was going to wear.
03:23On the first day, I was so surprised.
03:25I couldn't believe how beautiful the camp was.
03:27And even better, Jodi and I had a cabin all to ourselves.
03:30It was like being paid to go on vacation.
03:32But the best part was when I saw this beautiful boy named Daniel chopping wood.
03:36He had the most gorgeous smile, the perfect body, and those sparkly green eyes.
03:41He was so hot, and I almost forgot to breathe.
03:44Oh, my God, that Daniel guy is totally staring at you.
03:47Really?
03:47I wanted to go speak to him right then.
03:49But the kids started arriving, and I had to help show them to their cabins.
03:53Later that day, I saw Daniel at the lake teaching a group of kids how to kayak.
03:57Even in his bright orange life vest, he still looked good.
04:00He was patient and kind with the kids, too.
04:03He was totally perfect.
04:05He caught me staring at him, and I felt my cheeks get hot.
04:07I tried to run away, but somehow my legs refused to move.
04:10Are you lost?
04:11No, I was just—
04:12He didn't give me time to make up an excuse.
04:14If you came here thinking you could slack off and spend the whole time working on your tan, think again.
04:18What the heck?
04:19Why was this guy being so rude?
04:21I'm here to work, just like you.
04:22In those clothes?
04:24What's wrong with my clothes?
04:25Nothing, if you're going to the mall.
04:27This is summer camp, not a fashion show.
04:30My outfit was totally cute, and apparently Daniel wasn't as perfect as he looked.
04:34I was so angry, steam came out of my ears.
04:37I tried to storm off, but my heel got stuck in some mud, and I couldn't move.
04:40Having trouble there, princess?
04:42No, I'm just enjoying the scenery.
04:44I wasn't sure he believed me, but I had more important things to worry about.
04:47Like what the mud was doing to my new Louis Vuitton!
04:50I yanked my foot up, lost my balance, and ended up falling flat on my butt in the mud.
04:54My outfit was ruined!
04:56Suddenly, I burst into tears.
04:58Daniel raced to my side.
04:59Are you hurt? Is anything broken?
05:00My outfit is ruined!
05:03I threw myself into Daniel's big, strong arms.
05:06Calm down, it's just mud.
05:07Trust me, you'll survive, but maybe you should go back to the city.
05:11You don't belong here.
05:12Daniel and the kids walked away.
05:13I was so distraught and embarrassed that Jodi had to come to my rescue.
05:16She walked with me to our cabin and sat by my side as I mourned the loss of my shoes.
05:20That night, I couldn't get Daniel out of my mind.
05:22I dreamed of us wearing matchy Balenciaga sweatsuits as we kissed by the lake and danced under the moonlight.
05:28Every time I saw Daniel at camp, my heart skipped a beat, and I just knew we were meant to be together.
05:33So, I recruited Jodi to help.
05:35I think Daniel is my soulmate.
05:37Are you sure about that?
05:38Last time you spoke, things didn't go so well.
05:40Daniel just needs to meet the real me, or at least the new Emma that loves the outdoors.
05:45I'll be a camping dynamo, a female Tarzan.
05:48Uh, Emma, that's not you at all.
05:50It could be.
05:51This is a really bad idea.
05:53I ignored Jodi.
05:54She knew nothing about love.
05:55Sure, Daniel was rude to me before.
05:57He was playing hard to get.
05:58He was like a great pair of shoes during a hot sale.
06:01If you wanted them bad enough, you might have to bribe a sales clerk or shove through a crowd of crazy, fire-breathing bargain shoppers.
06:08But in the end, it was always worth it.
06:10So, I hatched a plan.
06:11I signed up to help with a bunch of activities that I knew Daniel would be attending.
06:15How hard could this outdoor stuff be?
06:17Campfire cooking sounded pretty fun.
06:19I was a bit of a foodie, always going to the best restaurants.
06:22I didn't think I'd actually have to build the campfire myself.
06:25And of course, Daniel was there to witness my failure.
06:28That's never going to light.
06:30Yes, it will.
06:31I almost got it.
06:32I rubbed the sticks together for hours, but the wood just wouldn't catch fire.
06:36I went back to my cabin in a huff, but I wasn't ready to give up.
06:39The more of a jerk Daniel was to me, the more I wanted to prove him wrong.
06:43Just because I had good taste in fashion and didn't know how to start a fire didn't make me useless.
06:48I mean, who even needs to know how to start a fire?
06:50That's what electricity is for.
06:52The next day, I noticed Daniel signed up to lead the campers on a hike through the woods.
06:55So, I decided to sign up too.
06:57Are you sure you want to do this?
06:59It's not an easy hike.
07:00Not you too.
07:02Why does everyone think I can't do stuff like this?
07:04Emma, you know I love you, but this isn't one of your strengths.
07:07Maybe you should sit this one out.
07:09Jodi's doubt only made me more determined to show everyone that I wasn't a princess.
07:14The day of the hike, I put on my best outfit.
07:16You know hiking doesn't come with valet service, right?
07:18You'll have to walk yourself.
07:20Just try to keep up with me.
07:21Daniel laughed in my face and walked away.
07:23Even though I was annoyed at him, my heart still fluttered as I saw his muscles glisten in the sun.
07:28When the hike started, I jumped to the head of the line to lead Daniel and the rest of the kids.
07:32Even though I didn't exactly know where we were going.
07:34But how hard could it be?
07:36Turns out, it was a nightmare.
07:38We climbed over these logs and up slopes covered in slippery leaves.
07:42An hour into the hike, I was covered with sweat and I smelled like a gym sock.
07:46The sun was beaming on my face, so I walked over to a tree to get some shade.
07:49But I slipped on a tree root, face planted on the ground, and twisted my ankle.
07:52Hey, are you okay?
07:53Daniel helped me up and wow, he was strong.
07:57I'm fine. It's no big deal.
07:58I was totally lying.
07:59My ankle hurt so bad I wanted to scream, but I didn't want Daniel to think I was weak.
08:04I should have been paying better attention.
08:06It's not your fault.
08:07That tree root came out of nowhere.
08:09They can be sneaky like that.
08:10He was actually kind of funny when he wasn't being a jerk.
08:13Yeah, I'll remember to look both ways before crossing the woods next time.
08:16Daniel smiled at me.
08:17Then something strange started happening.
08:19Butterflies filled my stomach, my heart raced, and my skin felt all tingly.
08:23Okay, princess.
08:24We should get moving.
08:25Will you be my prince charming?
08:27What?
08:27Did I really just say that?
08:28Uh, I meant this is alarming.
08:30I'm usually so graceful, like a dove.
08:32No, a swan.
08:33You like swans, don't you?
08:34They're beautiful, and I heard they mate for life.
08:36That's so romantic, right?
08:38I batted my eyes and leaned in close, hoping I could snag a kiss.
08:41Uh, I guess.
08:43Next time, wear some better shoes, your highness.
08:45I came crashing back down to earth, and it hurt more than tripping over that stupid root.
08:49I decided to ignore Daniel and carry on walking, even though my ankle was really painful.
08:53I did my best to hide it, but soon I was falling behind the group.
08:56Nine-year-olds half my height were outpacing me.
08:59But the last thing I needed was for Daniel to have another reason to make fun of me.
09:03So, I pushed through.
09:04But when I looked up, I realized I was all alone and totally lost.
09:07Okay, Emma, don't panic.
09:11I pulled out my phone, but there was no signal.
09:13I took a deep breath and decided to retrace my steps.
09:16I had to find the camp eventually, right?
09:18Except my ankle was only getting worse, and I felt like I was walking in circles.
09:23Then, I heard wolves howling in the distance, and these weird owls started hooting and glaring at me.
09:28Footsteps approached. I grabbed a branch.
09:30Stay away! I don't know karate, but I know crazy!
09:33I waved the branch like a maniac.
09:34Suddenly, I heard something move behind a tree, so I threw my branch towards it as hard as I could.
09:39Ouch! Are you trying to kill me?
09:40Daniel stepped out of the shadows with a big bruise on his forehead.
09:43I've never been so relieved to see someone, even if he was a jerk.
09:47A very handsome, sometimes funny jerk.
09:49Sorry, I thought you were an evil forest monster trying to eat me.
09:52I'm a vegetarian, and I've been looking for you all over.
09:55I was worried when you didn't make it back to camp.
09:58You were worried about me?
09:59Daniel blushed.
09:59Maybe a little.
10:00I knew it! You liked me this whole time!
10:03There's no way you could resist me, especially in this outfit!
10:06Daniel took one look at my ankle and gasped.
10:08It had swollen up to twice its normal size.
10:10Why didn't you tell me you'd hurt yourself?
10:12I didn't want to make a fuss.
10:14I have expected him to tell me that getting lost in the woods was an even bigger problem,
10:18but instead, he just slung his arm around me to help me walk.
10:20Come on, let's get you back.
10:22The only problem was, it was starting to get dark and the woods were really creepy.
10:26How long until we get back to camp?
10:28It shouldn't be long.
10:30He didn't sound very sure, and that only made me more nervous.
10:33Are we lost?
10:34No, it's just harder to navigate in the dark.
10:36A sudden rustle made me jump into his arms.
10:38What was that?
10:39Whatever it was, don't worry. I'll protect you.
10:41I looked into his eyes. He looked into mine.
10:43And then I snuck a kiss, but Daniel pulled away.
10:45I was mortified.
10:46I'm sorry, that was stupid.
10:48I totally shouldn't have done that.
10:49It seemed like the right thing to do.
10:51Oh my god, do you have a girlfriend?
10:52Is that why you didn't want me to know you liked me?
10:54Emma?
10:54I swear I'm not a homewrecker.
10:56I bet she's pretty and loves camping and building homes for the poor.
10:59Emma, please.
11:00It's just that I wasn't expecting that.
11:02It caught me by surprise.
11:03I totally wasn't ready, but now...
11:05Daniel pulled me close and kissed me, and it was magical.
11:08Daniel scooped me into his arms and carried me the rest of the way.
11:11After about half an hour, I spotted lights through the trees.
11:13There's the camp!
11:14See? I knew where we were going the whole time.
11:17Sure you did, my hero.
11:19Every princess needs her night, doesn't she?
11:21Daniel took me straight to the medic.
11:23The medic told me I needed to stay off my ankle for a while,
11:26which meant I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to.
11:28I spent the next day lying in bed,
11:30and it made me realize that I hadn't thought about shopping the whole time I was at the camp.
11:34Jodi and Daniel took turns checking on me.
11:36Daniel and I even had a romantic dinner by the campfire.
11:40A couple weeks later, camp was over and I'd made enough money to pay off my debt.
11:44I should have been happy, but my heart sank.
11:46What's wrong, princess?
11:47I'm going to miss this place.
11:48And I don't know what I'll do without you.
11:51Uh, you know I live like two miles from you.
11:53What? No way.
11:54And he goes to our school.
11:56He was in our English class.
11:57He sat in the back room.
11:58I felt like such an idiot.
12:01How is it possible that I never noticed Daniel?
12:03Then again, I only had eyes for rich boys in designer clothes,
12:07but my time at summer camp had changed my ways.
12:09I traded in my Gucci and Prada for something more important.
12:12I became a better friend to Jodi, a more responsible daughter,
12:15and I even found true love.
