00:00Hi, I'm Lily, and when I was 13, my parents moved to the seaside and opened a seafood restaurant.
00:06We lived in an apartment right above the restaurant, and I got to swim in the ocean every day,
00:10help my dad catch fish on our sailboat, and eat the most delicious seafood.
00:15Life was perfect. At least it would have been if it wasn't for Enzo.
00:19Who's Enzo, you ask? He's a nightmare, a monster, a terrible, diabolical fiend!
00:25Oh man, I need a moment to calm down.
00:28Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:30Enzo was my age. His family owned the restaurant next door, and they were the absolute worst.
00:36They were always trying to steal our customers.
00:38One time, Enzo and his dad put a sign on their restaurant that claimed that their food was better than ours.
00:44Of course, I wasn't gonna let that go.
00:46So I made a ton of flyers saying that our restaurant was the best,
00:50and posted them on dozens of mailboxes, street signs, and lampposts.
00:54Two minutes later, I caught Enzo pasting his flyers on top of mine.
00:58What are you doing, you jerk?
01:00What does it look like, pea-brain? I'm saving the people of this town from eating your lame food.
01:04Take it down or else!
01:06Enzo laughed in my face. I got so mad I ripped off his flyer, he ripped mine,
01:12I pushed him, and he shoved me back. Then I slipped and scraped my knee on the ground.
01:16Sorry, I didn't mean to push you so hard. Are you okay?
01:19I grabbed a cold fish out of my dad's cart and hurled it at Enzo's dumb face.
01:24Enzo ducked and the fish hit Enzo's dad in the head,
01:26who lost his balance, fell down, and broke his arm.
01:29For a week, Enzo's restaurant was closed because his dad was their only chef.
01:34At first, I felt really bad, but the next day at school,
01:37I opened my locker and a bucket of sardines fell on my head.
01:41The stench was so bad, I had to sit outside during class,
01:44and all the kids started calling me fish face.
01:47And if that wasn't enough, during our dinner rush,
01:50I caught Enzo creeping around behind our restaurant.
01:53I chased him off, but a few minutes later, our power went out.
01:56All of our customers left and went to Enzo's restaurant,
01:59and we couldn't get the lights back on for a week.
02:01Enzo was evil, and he was obsessed with destroying me and my parents.
02:06Every time we saw each other, we'd give each other death glares.
02:09But then one day, the strangest thing happened.
02:12My parents invited Enzo and his parents over for dinner,
02:16and then they made a huge announcement.
02:18We've talked it over, and we've decided to go into business together.
02:23I couldn't believe we were joining hands with the enemy!
02:26Enzo and I begged and pleaded for our parents to change their minds,
02:30but they didn't budge.
02:31After the restaurant's merge,
02:32Enzo worked at the restaurant on the weekends just like me,
02:36and I tried avoiding him as much as I could.
02:38But things at school were worse.
02:40The kids loved making fun of me thanks to Enzo and his stupid prank.
02:44So I kept to myself and focused on my studies.
02:47But then one day, a new girl named Yasmin sat next to me in history class.
02:51She was beautiful and wore the most fashionable clothes,
02:54and everyone wanted to be her friend.
02:56The teacher partnered us up for a huge assignment that was almost half our grade,
03:00and we met at the library to work on it.
03:02I can't do this anymore.
03:04My brain is on fire.
03:05My eyes are about to go numb.
03:07We've been working on the assignment for less than 10 minutes.
03:10I'm not a machine!
03:11Yasmin had a meltdown and ran off.
03:14She didn't come back for hours.
03:16I finished the assignment on my own.
03:17Just as I was about to leave,
03:19Yasmin came back with a brand new outfit on,
03:22looking like she'd stepped off a runway.
03:24Where have you been?
03:25We were supposed to work on this together.
03:27Sorry, girl.
03:27I had to get ready for my date.
03:29Are we almost done?
03:30What do you mean, we?
03:31You didn't do anything!
03:33Then these mean girls walked up to us.
03:35Gosh, Yasmin.
03:36You're so cool and pretty.
03:38Why are you talking to that fish face?
03:41Drop the geek and come hang out with us.
03:43I thought Yasmin would join them immediately,
03:45but she didn't even laugh at their jokes.
03:48Hard pass.
03:49Have you looked in the mirror lately?
03:50Your face is hideous.
03:52Your dress is so last year.
03:54And that cheap perfume you're wearing smells like rose-scented turds.
03:58The girls were speechless.
04:00I was shocked.
04:01It felt so good to have someone stick up for me.
04:04So, about that assignment.
04:06You gonna add my name to that or what?
04:08After that, Yasmin and I started hanging out all the time.
04:11I helped Yasmin with all her homework and helped her pass her tests.
04:14No, it wasn't cheating.
04:15I just liberated the answers and shared them.
04:18That's what besties do.
04:19Hanging out with Yasmin was the best.
04:22I got to sit at the cool kids' table at lunch,
04:24even if it meant carrying Yasmin's books around.
04:26She had delicate arms.
04:27I couldn't let her strain herself.
04:29One day during cheerleading practice,
04:31I was getting Yasmin a bottle of water when a football came flying toward my head.
04:35Then Kurt, the most beautiful boy in the world,
04:38came out of nowhere and caught it.
04:40Kurt winked at me with his dreamy green eyes,
04:43and my brain turned to mush.
04:45Hey, fish face, is that for me?
04:47I, uh, I, uh…
04:49He grabbed the water bottle out of my hand,
04:51took a sip, and handed it back to me.
04:54You're sweet.
04:54His finger touched mine, and I fell in love.
04:58I felt like I was walking on a cloud.
05:00But I must have wandered onto the football field
05:02because all of a sudden someone crashed into me.
05:04Of course, it was Enzo.
05:07What's the matter with you?
05:08This isn't a sidewalk.
05:09Stop daydreaming and watch where you're going.
05:11You watch where I'm going.
05:13Trust you to ruin everything.
05:14Are you having PMS?
05:16You're having PMS, jerk!
05:18Later that day, I saw Kurt in the hallway,
05:20surrounded by a dozen beautiful rich girls.
05:23My heart sank.
05:24He was totally out of my league.
05:26That night, I looked up into the stars and made a wish to be pretty and rich
05:30just so that I could have a chance with Kurt.
05:33The next morning, my life turned upside down.
05:36This huge celebrity had eaten at our restaurant
05:39and posted an amazing review online.
05:41That night, people were lined up outside our doors.
05:44Within two weeks, our restaurant became one of the most popular in the city,
05:48and we made a ton of money.
05:49Soon enough, my parents bought a new house and gave me a credit card.
05:53You've worked so hard, honey.
05:55Go buy yourself something nice.
05:56Whatever you want, you deserve it.
05:58I told Yasmin all about my new credit card,
06:01and she suggested we go on a shopping spree.
06:03I bought us a ton of matching outfits, expensive shoes, and jewelry.
06:08Bestie, I'd love a day at the spa.
06:10How about we go tomorrow?
06:11Your treat?
06:12No problem.
06:13I didn't mind picking up the bill at all.
06:15Yasmin was a great friend.
06:16She even invited me to a cool party.
06:18She did my makeup and my hair, and I looked like a goddess.
06:22When I walked into the party, all the boys noticed me, even Kurt.
06:26But when he waved at me, I got really nervous.
06:29What's wrong?
06:29You look like someone pooped on your shoes.
06:32I told Yasmin all about my crush on Kurt.
06:34Don't be shy, girl.
06:35Go get him.
06:36I gathered up the confidence to ask Kurt to dance.
06:39But just as I was approaching him, Enzo stepped in my way.
06:42Hey, Lily.
06:43You look great.
06:44Get out of my face, Enzo.
06:46No, really.
06:47I'm being honest.
06:48You look amazing.
06:49Listen, I've been meaning to talk to you.
06:51I want to apologize for always being a jerk to you.
06:54I guess all the pressure from working at the restaurant and school was getting to me.
06:58I was hoping we could have a fresh start.
07:00Just then, Kurt walked up to me.
07:02Hey, beautiful.
07:03You want to dance?
07:04Excuse me.
07:04We were in the middle of a conversation.
07:06Actually, we were at the end of it.
07:08And I'd love to dance with you.
07:10I ditched Enzo to dance with Kurt.
07:12After the song was over, I asked Kurt out.
07:14And he said yes.
07:15On our first date, we went to a really nice restaurant.
07:18But when the bill came, Kurt asked if I could pay.
07:21Sorry, babe.
07:22I forgot my wallet and my other pants.
07:24Ugh, so embarrassing.
07:25But no big deal.
07:26I'll handle it.
07:27I paid the bill.
07:28Then Kurt pulled me close and kissed me.
07:31That kiss was so magical.
07:33I couldn't stop smiling for days.
07:35Soon, we were a couple.
07:36Kurt loved it when I bought him nice gifts and took him and his friends to concerts.
07:41But after a while, things didn't feel right.
07:43So I talked to Yasmin about it.
07:46Oh, don't be so shallow.
07:47Kurt's the boy of your dreams.
07:49Girls buy their boyfriends gifts all the time.
07:51By the way, can I borrow $500?
07:53I've had my eye on this Gucci purse.
07:55Yasmin and I went shopping and I felt so much better.
07:58For a while, my life felt like a fairy tale.
08:01With the perfect boyfriend and the best friend in the world.
08:04Though Enzo was still a troll.
08:06Ever since the party, he's been acting so strange.
08:09Whenever he saw me and Kurt, he'd shake his head and walk the other way like he was disgusted.
08:13He even had a problem with Yasmin.
08:15Like this one time he saw her leaving my house with a bunch of shopping bags from our latest
08:19shopping spree and he lost his mind.
08:21Are you an idiot?
08:22Kurt and Yasmin are using you.
08:24You're wrong.
08:25You don't even know them.
08:26You're Yasmin's personal ATM.
08:29Yasmin's parents cut her allowance.
08:31She's accustomed to a certain lifestyle.
08:33I can't stand by and watch her suffer.
08:36Kurt flirts with every girl on earth.
08:38No, he's just a nice, friendly guy.
08:41He likes giving hugs.
08:42Geez, you really are a moron.
08:45I got so mad I slammed the door in Enzo's face.
08:48I refused to let him drag me down.
08:50So I decided to avoid him forever.
08:53But my plan failed because later that night, Enzo and I had a meeting with our parents.
08:57We're opening up three new locations.
09:00We'll need you two to manage the restaurant while we're away.
09:02No problem.
09:03Whatever you guys need.
09:04This is awesome.
09:05Enzo and our parents were so excited.
09:08But all I could think about was how much I'd miss hanging out with Kurt and Yasmin.
09:12Sorry, that won't work for me.
09:13I have plans.
09:15Well, you'll need to change them.
09:16I tried arguing with my parents, but they insisted that I help out or they'd take away
09:21my credit card.
09:22That would be a nightmare.
09:23So I agreed to their terms.
09:25I got so busy with school and work that I hardly saw Yasmin and Kurt.
09:29And I really missed them.
09:31So one day, as I was taking a cash deposit to the bank, I decided to stop at Yasmin's
09:36house to say hello.
09:37But when I got there, I saw Yasmin and Kurt kissing on the porch.
09:40I felt someone had stabbed me in the heart.
09:43Suddenly, I lost my balance and fell back into a trash can, which caught Yasmin and
09:47Kurt's attention.
09:48What's going on?
09:49I saw you kissing!
09:51Lily, it's not what you think.
09:52Yeah, we were just practicing.
09:55Practicing for what?
09:56That play, uh, Romeo and Suzette.
09:59You mean Romeo and Juliet?
10:01Right, that one.
10:03When did you guys join the drama club?
10:05Oh, silly.
10:06We told you weeks ago.
10:08You must've forgotten.
10:09You know my heart belongs to you.
10:11Kurt hugged me and I started crying like a baby.
10:15I do.
10:15It's just, I'm tired of working all the time.
10:18And Enzo is the absolute worst.
10:21He's been saying all these mean things.
10:23Forget about Enzo.
10:24We've got us.
10:26Yasmin and Kurt spent the rest of the afternoon cheering me up.
10:29They even walked me to the bank.
10:30From then on, Kurt and Yasmin joined me at the restaurant to protect me from evil Enzo's
10:35mind games.
10:36It was really nice to have their support.
10:38But one time, Kurt and Yasmin were hanging out with me in the back office as I was doing
10:42some accounting, when Enzo burst in like a crazy maniac and pulled me to the side.
10:46You can't have them in the office.
10:48It's for employees only.
10:49All our cash is in the safe there.
10:51I told you, they can't be trusted.
10:53Neither can you.
10:54I pushed Enzo aside and walked back into the office.
10:57A few weeks later, Kurt and Yasmin stopped hanging out with me.
11:00They said it was because they couldn't stand Enzo.
11:03Then the day I was supposed to make the deposit, I opened the safe and the money was gone.
11:07I panicked.
11:08I searched everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it.
11:11I even asked Kurt and Yasmin about it.
11:13Are you accusing us of stealing?
11:15I thought we were friends.
11:17After that, Kurt broke up with me and Yasmin stopped taking my calls.
11:21My parents came home the next week, and they were furious.
11:24They told me that the accountant discovered that the money from the deposits had been
11:28short for weeks.
11:29I looked at the calendar, and I noticed that it all began when I started hanging out with
11:33Kurt and Yasmin in the office.
11:35I realized that I'd opened the safe in front of them on numerous occasions.
11:39We checked the surveillance cameras, but they had mysteriously stopped working when the
11:43robberies began.
11:44The last image we saw was of two kids in masks sneaking into the office spray-painting the
11:49cameras.
11:50One of the robbers was wearing a fancy bracelet and a pair of really expensive sneakers, the
11:55same bracelet and sneakers that I bought Yasmin months ago.
11:58My blood boiled.
12:00I marched straight to Yasmin's house, where I found her and Kurt hanging out by the pool
12:04with a bunch of their popular friends.
12:06Hey, Lily.
12:06What's up, girl?
12:07How could you do this to me?
12:09I didn't do anything.
12:10You and Kurt stole from my parents' restaurant.
12:13I showed her the footage of the robbers.
12:15Ooh, that girl's got style.
12:17She's rocking those shoes and that bracelet.
12:20I know it was you.
12:21Admit it!
12:22I called the police.
12:23Hello?
12:23I'd like to report a robbery.
12:25My friends Yasmin and Kurt…
12:27Before I could finish my sentence, Kurt ran away and Yasmin snatched my phone.
12:31Yasmin and I fought for the phone like a pair of wildcats.
12:34I slipped on a towel, hit my head, and fell into the pool.
12:38The next thing I knew, I was in the hospital.
12:40Enzo was sitting by my side, holding my hand.
12:43Please, Lily.
12:44You have to wake up.
12:45I miss you.
12:46I never got to tell you that…
12:47He paused, then looked away.
12:49I should've let Enzo know that I was awake, but I was so curious to hear what he had to say.
12:54So I pretended to be asleep.
12:56I love you.
12:57I was an idiot before.
12:58I should've just told you earlier.
13:00If I had, then maybe none of this would've happened.
13:02Enzo started to cry.
13:04I squeezed his hand.
13:05It's not your fault.
13:07I was the idiot.
13:08Then Enzo kissed me, and it was so sweet.
13:11As for Yasmin and Kurt, they fled the party after my accident.
13:14But they didn't get very far.
13:16The police arrested them at a bus stop and pulled them off to jail.
13:19Our family's restaurant eventually recovered from the robbery and got ten times more popular.
13:24Enzo and I started dating.
13:26And after college, we started to run the business, got married, and lived happily ever after.
13:31So yeah, I was wrong about Enzo.
13:34He wasn't an evil monster after all.
13:36Wait, what now?
13:37It's a long story.
