00:00Hey, beautiful people! I'm Taylor from Beverly Hills. Please like and subscribe!
00:04In a world obsessed with looks, I've always reveled in the glamorous world of beauty pageants.
00:10Mom got me started the moment I could walk.
00:12And with beauty, grace, and a bit of humor, I won every time.
00:16Even as a toddler, Mom gave me facials and painted my nails.
00:20She'd even squeeze my nose to keep its cute button shape.
00:23Ow! Mom!
00:25You're leaning too far forward, honey.
00:27Shoulders back and head held high.
00:29See these perfect dimples?
00:31Honey, suck in your cheeks like a vacuum cleaner, so you'll have perfect dimples.
00:36She'd do anything to ensure I kept my sweet features that won all the pageants.
00:41It was all about being perfect.
00:43Walk perfect.
00:44Smile perfect.
00:45Sleep perfect.
00:46Perfect, perfect, perfect!
00:48And those fancy gowns I'd don on stage? Two sizes too small.
00:51I'd have to wear shapewear to keep a perfect waist when I was only a teenager.
00:56Even in school, everyone looked up to me, thinking I was perfect.
00:59I took pride in making people feel seen and appreciated.
01:02And I also tried to be a good friend and mentor.
01:05Once, I even fished a phone out of the school toilet for my best friend, Renee.
01:09Did you just?
01:10Let's not mention this to anyone, okay?
01:12I don't want people to know I stick my hands in public toilets.
01:15You're so perfect, Taylor.
01:17I wish I could be like you.
01:18Yeah, but she didn't know that along with perfection comes stress.
01:22I couldn't chew gum, gossip, laugh like a hyena, or dress funky.
01:27And I felt the stress growing every day.
01:30When I turned 17, I had had enough.
01:32So I finally told my mom how unhappy I was with beauty pageants.
01:36You don't want to do this anymore?
01:38I need a break, Mom.
01:40And let's be honest, the pageant world needs a break from me after my last epic faceplant on stage.
01:45I never thought I'd see the day.
01:47Well, we can always find a new outlet for you.
01:50How about synchronized swimming with inflatable flamingos?
01:53Or maybe ballroom dancing?
01:55Singing?
01:56All this hardly leaves me time for normal teenage things.
02:00I want to live a happy life.
02:01She didn't understand.
02:03And for the next few days, she hardly talked to me.
02:06But I still tried.
02:07Mom, what do you think of this Eras Tour outfit?
02:10You think it's Taye Swift approved?
02:12Huh?
02:12Whatever you like.
02:13We'd always been close.
02:15But I think I broke her dreams with my pageant withdrawal.
02:18School wasn't any better.
02:19Whispers about my huge loss at the pageant ran through the halls.
02:23I had to pick my head up and put on my It Girl facade.
02:26As if that wasn't enough, a few days later, rumors echoed through the hall that Liam Bennett returned.
02:32They expelled Liam from school when we were kids for being a bully.
02:35And guess who he liked to pick on the most?
02:38Me.
02:38He was relentless, making me the butt of his jokes and playing horrible pranks on me until I'd cry.
02:44And now he was here, older and hotter, staring at me from across the hall.
02:49Ew, did I just say hotter?
02:50Anyway, I did what I could to avoid him until fifth period,
02:54when he sat next to me in class with a stupid smirk on his face.
02:57Oh great, it's the prodigal bully Liam Bennett.
03:00What'd you do, pay the school to bring you back?
03:03Aw, come on, Taylor.
03:04You've got to admit, my pranks were legendary.
03:06But I'm a changed man now.
03:08No more pranks.
03:09I'll believe it when I see it.
03:11Whatever, beauty queen.
03:12Don't be surprised, but I just want to see a smile on that pretty face of yours.
03:17Did he just call me pretty?
03:19Ew.
03:20Really, the day you make me smile, I'll personally crown you king of comedy.
03:24I just wanted him to buzz off and stay out of my life.
03:27And with all the hostility built up from his endless pranks as a kid,
03:30there was no way the guy was going to get me to crack.
03:33With pageant life behind me, I had time for dating.
03:36One weekend, I checked my online dating profile.
03:38Hey, don't judge.
03:39None of the guys in school fit the bill for Prince Charming.
03:42As I was browsing, I saw a message pop up.
03:45Hey beautiful, I came across your dating profile and thought we'd make a good match.
03:49My heart swelled when I clicked on his profile, and he looked like a real-life Harry Styles.
03:55Only more obtainable.
03:56I messaged him back, and we spent nights texting one another.
04:00My heart was full of hope that I'd finally found a guy who met all my requirements.
04:05You know, perfectly imperfect.
04:07He was the kind of guy who loved tacos but didn't worry if his jeans didn't fit.
04:11Who was brave but never afraid to admit that lizards made him quiver.
04:15Who loved sports but never had the knack to catch the ball.
04:18And the more I got to know him, the more I fell for him.
04:21He knew how it felt to feel pressure from a parent and want to be your own person.
04:26It felt great to be understood.
04:28And a few weeks later, when I woke up, I finally got the message I was waiting for.
04:32Hey beautiful, I think we'd be a match made in heaven.
04:35How about I take you out for a day you'll never forget?
04:38I wasn't gonna let this opportunity pass me by.
04:41A weekend away from mom's melodrama was what I needed.
04:43And a date with a hot stranger sounded like the cure.
04:46Yeah, I chose this dress.
04:48Not perfect at all.
04:49But considering skipping makeup?
04:51No way!
04:52My dark circles would make Draven run for the hills.
04:55So I gotta keep it light.
04:56Draven showed up on a motorcycle and I swear I saw mom's eyes bog out of her head.
05:01He was so sweet to hand me a bouquet of...
05:03Are those flowers from our front yard?
05:05Yeah, sorry.
05:06I had a nicer bouquet but it got ruined on the back of my bike.
05:10It's a few neighborhoods back now.
05:12He was even cuter in real life and he smelled amazing.
05:16You ready to be swept off your feet, beautiful?
05:18I hopped onto his vintage ride, which was so old I had my doubts about it even working.
05:24But the way he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him sent waves of warmth through my body.
05:29Oh no!
05:30Hold on tight, Taylor.
05:31Draven parked at the local fairgrounds and held my hand as he guided me through the crowds.
05:36He was so gentle.
05:37We ate all the greasy junk food and even played carnival games.
05:41Just as Draven turned to face me, the clouds rolled in with a huge storm.
05:45Everyone went running for cover, but he kept me there in the rain.
05:49Without warning, I kicked up a puddle, splashing him.
05:52What was that for?
05:53Are you afraid of a little rain?
05:55Care for a little dance party, Draven?
05:57I don't know what came over me, but I started dancing.
06:01You've got some skills, Taylor.
06:03Where'd you learn to dance like that?
06:04I've got years of dance skills under my belt, thanks to pageants.
06:08I felt so free and Draven even joined in.
06:11He couldn't dance to save his soul, but he tried.
06:14And I had a blast showing him all the moves.
06:17I don't think I've ever laughed so much.
06:19After the rain cleared, he took me to a gazebo adorned with twinkling lights.
06:23There was a basket of fries waiting for us at the table.
06:25It was honestly adorable and I was starving.
06:29He really opened up, talking about all the pressure he felt from his dad.
06:32And I related to everything he said.
06:35And he sounded sincere.
06:36But that wasn't all.
06:37He was hilarious.
06:39You've got a little something on your face.
06:41Oh my god, where?
06:42Nope, still there.
06:44And maybe a little worse, but have no fear.
06:47As my cheeks turned redder than the ketchup smeared all over my face,
06:50Draven took a glob from his plate and spread it under his nose like a ketchup mustache.
06:56We'll really turn heads now.
06:58I let out a belly laugh as we both helped each other clean the mess off our faces.
07:02After dinner, Draven was about to take me somewhere.
07:05And I was looking forward to it, but my mom called.
07:08Taylor, I'm so sick.
07:10Can you come home and make me some soup, honey?
07:12Ugh, my mom.
07:14I didn't listen to her, so now she comes up with this.
07:17As far as I understand, she's worked hard doing two jobs and still took the time to
07:21make sure you looked your best for pageants.
07:23That's because she loved you a lot and wanted to give you the best future.
07:27I think you have to understand her too.
07:29Draven was right.
07:30He was so sweet about the whole thing and took me right home.
07:32When he dropped me off, he seemed hesitant to leave.
07:36So, uh, I guess this is the end of our date.
07:39Thank you for a fun day, Draven.
07:42I hate to say goodnight, but it's getting late.
07:44How about we end the night with a movie-worthy kiss?
07:47Just then, mom came to the door in her robe and a box of tissues.
07:51What took you so long?
07:53I swear, I'm dying, Taylor.
07:55Mom, seriously?
07:57With the theatrics?
07:58I'll be right in.
07:59With mom back inside, I grabbed Draven by his jacket.
08:02He leaned closer to me, but as I gazed into his deep eyes, I felt my breath catch in my
08:07throat.
08:08Is that…
08:08Taylor?
08:10Gotta go.
08:11He sprinted off, and I stood there, confused at all the emotions rolling through me.
08:16Liam Bennett, you little jerk!
08:18He'd even disguised his voice!
08:20If he thinks he can prank me and make a fool out of me after all these years, he's got
08:24another thing coming!
08:26Knowing that Liam went out of his way to do this, I was fuming.
08:30But then I decided I'd go along with his plan and call him out when the time felt right.
08:34Two can play at this game.
08:36I went back to school Monday.
08:37I was livid, but somehow I had fallen for him.
08:40And then I was thinking of my plan to knock him out.
08:44If it isn't my favorite beauty queen.
08:46Oh, please.
08:47Beauty pageants are so yesterday.
08:49I've moved on to dating hot guys.
08:51Is that so?
08:52He looked so proud of himself, pulling off his little stunt this weekend.
08:56But I had my own plans.
08:58I wish more guys were like Draven.
09:00He was perfect.
09:01It's like we were a match made in heaven.
09:03Oh, is that so?
09:04Yeah.
09:05Honestly, I've fallen in love with him.
09:07He's all I thought about all weekend.
09:10In love?
09:10Absolutely.
09:12Draven is a total dreamboat.
09:14He's picking me up after school today.
09:15Do you have a jacket I could borrow?
09:17No.
09:18Before Liam could stop me, I opened his locker, where he had Draven's jacket and wig all ready
09:23to go.
09:23Time to use my acting skills.
09:26Is that Draven's jacket and wig?
09:28Liam's eyes bogged out as he tried to shove his locker door closed.
09:32I don't know what came over me.
09:34But I grabbed Liam by his shirt and shoved him into the locker.
09:37Tell me why you disguised yourself as Draven.
09:39Was this all some huge prank to embarrass me in front of the whole school?
09:43I knew the whole time, you moron.
09:45Liam didn't answer as a slow smirk crept up on his lips.
09:49And then he did the unthinkable.
09:51He kissed me in front of the entire school.
09:54And just when it ended…
09:55Ow!
09:56What was that for?
09:57As if that wasn't enough, school security came over and started pulling me away, threatening
10:02to expel me for abusing a classmate.
10:04Let me go!
10:05You've got the wrong troublemaker!
10:07I was angry and deceived and headed for the principal's office.
10:11I could picture mom pulling me out of school and making me endure countless hours of beauty
10:15treatments as if I were preparing for a never-ending beauty pageant.
10:19My whole life would be one big show!
10:22Hey, hold on a second.
10:23Let her go.
10:24This is all a big misunderstanding.
10:26Well, kind of.
10:27Liam, what's going on here?
10:29I need you both to resolve whatever issue this is, or you'll both get detention.
10:34I can explain everything.
10:35Leave me alone long enough with this creep and I'll have his face rearranged.
10:39Miss Anderson, you are way out of line.
10:43It's okay.
10:43I deserve that.
10:44Come on, Taylor.
10:45Liam took me by the arm, leading me out of the office and into an empty classroom to talk.
10:50I know you're upset.
10:51Please, let me explain without rearranging my face or any other parts.
10:55Oh, I'm sure this'll be good.
10:57After they kicked me out of school a few years ago, my parents got me a mentor to help me turn
11:02my life around, and I really changed.
11:04The school gave me another chance on the condition that I don't pull any more pranks.
11:08Oh, really?
11:09Because it looks like you're still making my life miserable.
11:13It's not a prank, I swear.
11:14Then explain, Draven.
11:16I wanted to apologize to you, but you've been so hostile toward me, which you have every
11:21right to be.
11:22So when I found out how sad you were feeling those days and then I saw your dating profile
11:26online, I made up Draven.
11:29You're sick, Liam.
11:30And you're not very good at disguising yourself.
11:32I knew the moment I looked deep into your eyes.
11:35Really?
11:36You're such a...
11:37I can't even say the words out loud.
11:39I deserve that.
11:40But I wanted to make up for all the times I made you cry.
11:43I wanted to help you see the beautiful person you are on the inside, and I wanted to see
11:47you laugh.
11:48And Draven made you crack.
11:50I'm sorry for deceiving you.
11:51I wanted to be honest with you from the beginning, but the way you brushed me off made it impossible
11:56to get through to you.
11:56But Draven got through.
11:58He is me.
11:59We're one in the same.
12:00I felt confused, upset, and heartbroken that I fell for my enemy.
12:05And it took me a whole month to cool down and let Liam's explanation absorb me.
12:09But maybe Liam isn't my enemy.
12:12When he came up with ridiculous ideas to try and win back my forgiveness, I just had to
12:17roll my eyes.
12:18One day, when I entered the classroom, he came in with a guitar and started singing
12:23like a dying cat.
12:24And then the strings were snapping one by one.
12:27It was all I could do not to burst out laughing.
12:30And gosh darn it, those sweet eyes were doing me in.
12:33But that doesn't excuse the fact that you lied to me.
12:36You're right.
12:36I messed up.
12:37Seeing you sad broke my heart.
12:39And that's too much for me.
12:41Please.
12:41I could kick myself for caving, but all I could think about was how happy and carefree he
12:46made me feel.
12:47I liked being myself and not living up to anyone's expectations.
12:51We'd have a long way to go, but I guess I could forgive him.
12:54Do you think I could steal another kiss?
12:57You have a lot of making up to do first.
12:59What was that?
13:00A lot of making out?
13:02A lot of making up!
