00:00Hi, I'm Olivia from Ohio, and my crazy story will make you rethink your circle of friends.
00:06But before we get started, don't forget to like and subscribe!
00:10My mom screamed perfection.
00:12And I know what you're thinking.
00:14Every kid thinks their mom's perfect.
00:16But mine actually was.
00:18She was a successful lawyer, had won multiple awards, and everywhere she went,
00:23people would trip over their shoelaces to get a glimpse of her.
00:26Next to her, I looked like an ogre that no one noticed.
00:30People didn't even believe I was her daughter.
00:32When I was ten, mom and I were taking a stroll in the park when this man walked up to us.
00:37I was watching you from across the park, and I have to say, you're gorgeous.
00:42Do you mind grabbing a cup of coffee?
00:44Thank you, but I'll pass.
00:46You see, I'm with my daughter.
00:48It's so sweet of you to adopt this kid and call her your daughter.
00:51Goes to show that you're more than just a pretty face.
00:54And you're a bigger moron than you look!
00:57I kicked the man hard in his shin, and he started whining like a baby.
01:01Mom apologized, dragged me back home, and gave me a big lecture on being polite.
01:07But I didn't care.
01:08All I wanted was to look pretty like mom.
01:11So the next morning, I woke up early, took a pair of scissors, and gave myself a haircut.
01:17I thought I looked pretty amazing.
01:19Until mom saw me and screamed like a banshee!
01:22What have you done, Olivia?
01:24It's cool, right? Now I look just like you!
01:27You look like a shaved raccoon!
01:30Mom rushed me to a hairdresser who tried his best, but there was hardly anything left for him to do.
01:36The next day at school, everyone pointed and laughed at me.
01:40It was so humiliating!
01:42Things didn't change much even as I grew up.
01:45I was an A-grade student, but wasn't half as popular as the pretty girls in my school.
01:50Then one time in 9th grade, I saw this MSA video where this girl used makeup and it totally transformed her face.
01:57And I was hooked!
01:59I saw a bunch of makeup tutorials to get my look right, and when I was done, I looked like a totally different person!
02:06Mom and I had a wedding dinner to attend that night, and people couldn't stop complimenting me.
02:11Oh, you're so pretty, like a fresh lily, just like your mother.
02:15I'd never felt so visible, and it was all because of makeup!
02:19It made me feel so pretty and confident!
02:22I got better and better, and by 16, I started my own YouTube channel where I taught makeup!
02:28One of my videos went viral overnight, and I got famous!
02:32Girls in my school flocked around me asking for makeup tricks!
02:36That eye makeup you did was flawless, Olivia!
02:39Your foundation technique is to die for!
02:42Make a TikTok with me, please!
02:45The girl pulled me into her camera's frame, but just then, someone pushed her away!
02:49It was Mia, the head cheerleader and the most popular girl in school!
02:54Ew!
02:55Please don't drag Olivia into your dirty TikTok videos!
02:58She's a YouTuber, she's literally royalty!
03:02Hi babe, you know who I am, right?
03:04Let's hang out for lunch, and by the way, cute dress!
03:07I was stunned as Mia led me to her table and introduced me to all her friends!
03:12One of them was Max, the school football captain, and my all-time crush!
03:17He pulled out a chair for me!
03:19You know Oliver…
03:20Olivia!
03:21Potato, potato!
03:23Anyway, you know, I'm something of a YouTuber myself.
03:26I'm a fashion stylist, art curator, singer, songwriter, I do it all!
03:30I work very hard!
03:32That's amazing!
03:33My mom says hard work is the key to success!
03:36Oh no, sweetheart, I mean I work very hard on myself!
03:40It takes effort to look so flawless.
03:42Wanna go on a date with me?
03:44The most popular guy in school was asking me out on a date!
03:48So obviously, I said yes!
03:50Max and I hung out a bunch of times, and I was totally crushing over him!
03:54At school, I was finally in the cool league now!
03:58Mia and I went shopping, to parties, skipped school for movies, it was so much fun!
04:03But between hanging out with friends and making YouTube videos,
04:06I could hardly concentrate on my studies and failed a test.
04:10Mom found out, and she wasn't too happy.
04:13Skipping classes? Flunking tests?
04:16What's happening to you, Olivia?
04:18Relax, mom, it's just one test.
04:20Besides, it's high school, I'm supposed to have fun!
04:23You're also supposed to be getting into college, and I don't see that happening with these grades.
04:28You're acting like a totally different person.
04:30And maybe that's not such a bad thing, since I'm tired of living under your shadow, mom!
04:35I'm my own person, and I know how to make my own decisions!
04:39Saying that, I rushed to my room.
04:41I felt kinda bad for being so rude to mom, but I was too mad to apologize.
04:46But mom didn't give up, and the next day at school,
04:49she asked one of my teachers to assign me a tutor to help me with my studies.
04:53I was waiting for my tutor in the library, when a really nerdy girl walked over to me.
04:58You're Olivia? I'm Grace, your tutor.
05:01Let's start!
05:02Grace pulled up a chair, and I couldn't help noticing her mismatched shoes.
05:06Yeah, yeah, I know my shoes don't match.
05:08It's just the other one was wet and I was in a hurry.
05:11And before you ask me, yes, I only own two pairs of shoes because that's all you need!
05:16Now, let's start with science.
05:18Grace and I worked all afternoon, and I could tell she was really smart.
05:23We were just wrapping up when Mia showed up with Max.
05:26O-M-G, this is your tutor?
05:29Where did you get that dress?
05:31It looks like it was made out of your grandma's curtains.
05:34Wow, what a cool guess!
05:36She was giving her curtains away to Goodwill.
05:38I told her I could get a use out of them for another ten years.
05:42You're such a dork, man! Right, Olivia?
05:45Um, yeah, totally.
05:47I shamefully joined in as Mia and her friends made fun of Grace.
05:52I thought Grace would act out and throw a book at us or something.
05:55But she simply smiled and walked away.
05:58Later that day during gym, everyone was in the pool,
06:01while I just sat outside and reflected on how I'd behaved with Grace.
06:05She was trying to help me, and I'd been a jerk to her.
06:09I was lost in my thoughts when Max walked up to me.
06:12You're not coming in?
06:13No, I'm scared of water.
06:15Oh, don't be a scaredy-cat.
06:17Saying that, Max started pulling me into the water.
06:20I wasn't ready for him to see me without my makeup on,
06:23so I started pulling away, but he just laughed and splashed water on me.
06:27My heart started beating faster, and I was about to pass out
06:30when Grace came to my rescue.
06:32Let her go, you moron!
06:34Grace took me to the bathroom as I tried catching my breath
06:37and shoved a paper bag into my hands.
06:39I... I... don't want... to throw up.
06:44Just breathe in and out.
06:46You just had a panic attack.
06:48Oh wait, you know what?
06:49My mom had this super amazing way of dealing with panic.
06:52With that, Grace hugged me tight and started rocking me back and forth.
06:57Snuggle, snuggle up.
06:59Little baby, no need to fear.
07:02Mommy's here.
07:04We'll soon be out and you'll be free.
07:09Okay, okay, I'm fine.
07:11Thank God my makeup is waterproof, or it would have been a disaster.
07:15That's what you were worried about?
07:17I thought you were scared of water.
07:19Thanks for saving me.
07:20And listen, I'm sorry for acting like a jerk earlier.
07:24I was mad at Max for days, but he apologized a million times,
07:29so eventually I let it go.
07:31Grace and I continued hanging out for our tutoring sessions
07:34and slowly became friends.
07:36Even my grades were up again, and Mom couldn't be happier.
07:39I'd never met anyone like Grace before, and I was fascinated.
07:43While everyone dressed up in fancy clothes,
07:46Grace would wear what made her comfortable, no matter how silly she looked.
07:50While we shopped for expensive stuff from malls,
07:52Grace made her own jewelry and hardly ever used makeup.
07:56But I could tell Mia hated Grace.
07:59She was always passing death slayers at Grace
08:02and hardly missed an opportunity to comment on her hair or clothes.
08:06Then one day, I invited Grace over for lunch at my table.
08:09We were eating when Mia spoke.
08:12Guys, so you know how my mother is a tea leaf reader from India?
08:15And she was amazed by my reading yesterday.
08:18She says it means I'm either going to be very rich or very famous.
08:23As if.
08:24Excuse me? You have a problem with what I said?
08:28Logically, yes, I do.
08:30How can crushed wet leaves predict your future?
08:33They can. I have photos.
08:36You can see it's clearly written that my future is...
08:39I guess your future's garbage because that's what I see here.
08:42You know what you should really see? A mirror.
08:45Maybe that's when you'll know what a freak you are.
08:48Why do you hate me so much?
08:50Because you're a nerd and a loser.
08:52And I don't understand why you're even sitting with us.
08:55All I am is different.
08:57And maybe you're too close-minded to handle something you don't understand.
09:01There she goes with that psychology talk again.
09:04All I hear is blah blah blah.
09:06Told you, Olivia, she's a certified weirdo.
09:10You're so, so unreasonable.
09:13An unreasonable jerk.
09:15Mia got furious and pushed Grace off her chair.
09:18Grace fell and broke her glasses.
09:20She then got up and pushed Mia away.
09:23And the two of them got into a huge fight.
09:25It took all my strength to pull them away.
09:28I dragged Grace to the side.
09:30What is your deal?
09:31She hit me first.
09:33You insulted her.
09:34She called me a weirdo.
09:36I thought you didn't care about what people said.
09:38I don't.
09:39But I also don't like being humiliated publicly.
09:42You want Mia to like you so bad,
09:44you don't even have the courage to take my side even though I'm right.
09:47That's not true.
09:49Tell yourself that.
09:50Grace stormed off.
09:52And after that day, she simply stopped talking to me.
09:55She canceled our tutoring session and totally ignored me in class.
09:59Meanwhile at home, mom told me something shocking one day.
10:03Apparently, one of her clients was suing her for presenting false evidence in a case
10:08and mom ended up paying really heavy damages.
10:11Mom and I had savings.
10:13But with the rent, school fees, and other expenses,
10:16we needed to figure out a way to get some money in.
10:18That's when Mia gave me a way out.
10:21My aunt's starting a herbal makeup line
10:23and I'm sure she'll pay you a lot of money to endorse her products on your channel.
10:27If you want, I can talk to her tonight and we can start shooting ASAP.
10:31Sounds great. Thanks, Mia.
10:33Of course, darling. What are friends for?
10:36The next day, I met Mia's aunt and she agreed to pay me a million dollars for the endorsement.
10:42We started shooting right away and everything was on track.
10:46The video was uploaded a week later and everyone loved it.
10:50The money I got was enough to get mom out of trouble.
10:53And she was back in business.
10:55But a week later, I woke up to people screaming outside my house.
10:59I checked my phone and was shocked to see people calling me a liar, a cheat.
11:04And I was facing a lot of hate on social media.
11:07My heart sank reading all the comments.
11:10Apparently, Mia's aunt used cheap chemicals in her skin line
11:14and people were complaining of severe skin issues.
11:17I immediately pushed an apology video saying that I had no idea but no one believed me.
11:22Since Mia's aunt wasn't answering my calls,
11:24I rushed to Mia's house to get an explanation.
11:27When I saw she was having a party, I instantly spotted her on the porch making out with Max.
11:33What the heck, Max? I thought you liked me.
11:36I did. But then I saw what a fraud you are.
11:38And I don't want your tainted reputation ruining mine.
11:41I'm not a fraud. Mia's aunt is.
11:44And now she's not even answering my calls.
11:46And you, Mia, go on record and tell my followers that I had no idea those products were harmful.
11:52And why should I do that?
11:54It's not my problem that you didn't do your homework.
11:56You should've checked those products before endorsing them.
11:59I trusted you. We were friends.
12:02And I did you a favor. As a friend.
12:05But yeah, that aunt of mine's always been kinda shady.
12:08She wanted me to be the face of her fraud line.
12:11Imagine the horror if I would've said yes.
12:13Aunt needed someone stupid and popular enough to spread the word about her brand and you stepped up.
12:18Now if you're done, you're interrupting my date and I'd like you to leave.
12:23Mia went back to kissing Max and I was furious.
12:27I noticed a cat litter in the corner of the kitchen.
12:29And I picked it up and dumped it on Mia's head before storming out of the stupid party.
12:34I was in the parking lot when I saw Grace waiting for me.
12:38What are you doing here?
12:39I wanted to make sure you were okay.
12:41And look, I recorded the whole conversation with Mia.
12:44Upload this on your channel and everyone will know what lying pieces of poop Mia and her aunt are.
12:50And then what?
12:51I know how horrible cyberbullying is and I don't want another person to go through it.
12:56So you're just gonna let this go?
12:58Nope.
12:59We'll show this video to the police and let them take action.
13:02And after it's all behind us, there's something else I want to talk about on my channel.
13:06I've spent my entire life feeling invisible and not good enough.
13:10And makeup was my way to get noticed.
13:13But I just attracted shallow, awful people like Mia and Max.
13:17The only people worth having in your life are those who don't make you feel like you need to be someone else to be accepted by them.
13:23Did you hit your head on the way out?
13:25You're sounding like me.
13:27Well, you're the one who showed me that originality is our biggest superpower.
13:32So that's what I'm going to do.
13:34I still love makeup, but I won't lose sight of who I am as a person anymore.
13:38And I won't hide behind it.
13:40If I can become popular once, I can do it all over again.
13:44You with me?
13:45Always.
13:46Great, because I'm going to need your help.
13:48And your macaroni necklace, too.
