00:00I sat in the audience for the thousandth time watching my annoying sister Mara's talk show.
00:05I was just about to fall asleep when suddenly a spotlight shone on me.
00:09There she is, my twin sister Brooke. Come help us play the game, sis.
00:13Wait, what? Before I could say a word, the audience started chanting my name and my parents nodded at me encouragingly.
00:19Mara was waiting on stage with her guest star who was some famous model.
00:23So, Brookie, you and Iris are going to play the card game War and whoever wins breaks an egg on the other's head.
00:29Can I jump off a building first?
00:31Always such a little party pooper.
00:34I played the dumb card game until I won.
00:36So I cracked an egg on Iris's head before turning to go off stage.
00:40Ow! You just hit me in the head with an egg.
00:42That was the goal of the game, genius.
00:44Well, you did it way too hard. Ow!
00:47The next day, my accidental egg assault was all over YouTube and social media.
00:52Sister of talk show host Mara gets violent with popular model Iris.
00:56Ah, so melodramatic. My life wasn't always like this.
01:00I'd never asked to live in the public eye.
01:02All of this started when my bimbo sister got her own show a year ago and became a child millionaire.
01:07Then here I was, just trying to get through high school without punching or kicking walls.
01:12Hi, I'm Brooke from Manhattan and this is my story.
01:15But before I rant about my drama, please like and subscribe.
01:18Everyone at school brought up the stupid talk show incident.
01:21Look, it's Mara's extra crazy sister, Brooke.
01:25Should we refer to her as the egg beater?
01:27I can beat an egg over your head.
01:29But don't worry, I'll avoid smashing your new nose.
01:32Ugh, you're always such a witch.
01:34This is why nobody at school likes you.
01:36And she was so cute for thinking that I cared.
01:38Anyway, around lunchtime, I headed to the bathroom when suddenly I jumped.
01:43One of the most popular guys in school, Lance, was right behind me, smirking.
01:47He was a part of a clique of four other heartthrobs who all looked like Wattpad princes.
01:52You are looking lovely today, princess.
01:54You just followed me into the girl's bathroom.
01:57I wanted to ask you out on a date.
01:58You've never even made eye contact with me before.
02:01I used to think you were just Mara's mean loser sister.
02:04But when I saw what you did on TV, I practically fell in love with you, babe.
02:08I've always wanted a girl with that kind of fire.
02:11So I'll pick you up tonight at eight.
02:13I didn't answer.
02:13I just pushed Lance away from my face and towards the toilet bowl.
02:17He landed headfirst and I couldn't help laughing.
02:20Except later that day, I noticed the rest of Lance's dreamy friends kept staring at me
02:25with that same smirk on their faces.
02:27In fact, all five of them slipped envelopes into my locker asking me on a date.
02:32This had to be some kind of joke.
02:33I decided to ask Mara about it since she was the school queen bee and full of gossip.
02:38But surprisingly, Mara didn't know anything.
02:40Then later that night, she gave me some crazy news.
02:43She'd invited all five of those guys to come on to her talk show where she'd set up a competition
02:48over who could win a date with me without even asking me.
02:52So what if they're just hitting on you for a joke or a bet?
02:54It'll be so much fun.
02:56You've never been on any kind of date and you're in the 12th grade.
03:00Please.
03:01I finally gave in.
03:02But I knew those boys were up to something.
03:05And if they were going to mess with me, I was going to mess with them too.
03:08On the night of the show, I sat center stage behind a table while the five idiot heartthrobs
03:12lined up behind a rope.
03:14Each of them had 30 seconds to impress me.
03:16After you pushed me into the toilet, I went and bought you flowers.
03:20I also have chapstick to put on before kissing you for our date.
03:23Too bad your breath smells like a sewage drain.
03:25Next.
03:25If you were my girlfriend, I'd take you to a restaurant right on the ocean and buy a giant
03:30ice cream sundae with-
03:32Ice cream makes me puke.
03:33So I used to be an underwear model, but then-
03:36I'm embarrassed for you.
03:38I had this flown over from Japan?
03:40No.
03:40By the time the fifth guy Zeke came over, I was already exhausted.
03:44Then I noticed he was holding a guitar.
03:47Oh my god.
03:48The audience went wild and I wanted to cringe, but for some reason, I found myself smiling.
04:09So when it was time to choose the guy I'd go on a date with, I chose guitar boy Zeke.
04:14I just had to remember that he probably didn't really like me, and if he was planning on humiliating
04:18me, I had to beat him at his own game.
04:21So when I met Zeke for our picnic date, I came wearing my mom's wedding dress.
04:25Uh, what's that you're wearing?
04:27A wedding dress.
04:28That way, we can imagine what it'll be like when we get married one day.
04:31Ever since the talk show, I've fallen head over heels for you, and after that song you
04:36sang for me, I know now that you feel the same way.
04:40I'd hoped the guy would run scared and crying, but instead, he laughed.
04:45I must have really won you over with that song I played you.
04:48I'm not done with you yet, Prince Charming.
04:50During our picnic, I sat on his lap and made him feed me every bite of food and hold the
04:55water cup up to my lips, and when he turned to get a napkin, I started fake crying hysterically.
05:01We were staring into each other's eyes, but you looked away.
05:05Is it because my eyes are ugly, or are you breaking up with me?
05:09I have nothing else to live for now.
05:12You are so extra.
05:14I know what'll cheer you up.
05:15Let's have a romantic dance.
05:17Wait, what?
05:18Before I could say a word, Zeke turned on classical music and pulled me up to dance.
05:22He started spinning and twirling me around and even threw me in the air.
05:26God, he was crazy.
05:28Later on, Zeke drove me home, but he said he needed to stop at his house first for something.
05:32I decided then I'd confront him.
05:34Look, I know you're either dating me because you bet your friends money, or you guys want
05:38to humiliate me as a joke.
05:40Either way, I'm just telling you, I didn't fall for it.
05:43I told those guys you'd be too smart to trick.
05:45It was Lance's idea to bet money on which one of us can win you over.
05:49I never wanted to do it, but I couldn't tell Lance that, because whatever Lance wants,
05:53Lance gets.
05:54Zeke then told me his dad and Lance's dad were friends, and because Lance's family was
05:58rich, his dad was going to pay for a music college Zeke got into.
06:01Therefore, he could never afford to ever piss off Lance.
06:05And don't tell Lance I said any of this.
06:07Please, just let me tell him you fell for me and you asked me to be your boyfriend.
06:11I really want to go to music school.
06:13Come on, you don't care what anyone thinks, and you're already unpopular and barely have
06:17any friends.
06:18It's no offense.
06:19How little self-respect did this guy think I had?
06:22I wanted to give him a good slap in the face.
06:24But just then, Zeke stopped by this really run-down trailer next to a pile of garbage.
06:29Okay, we're here.
06:31My dad's sick, so I have to check on him every few hours.
06:34Holy crud, this is where he lived?
06:36This place was a single room, and Zeke's dad was in a bed with an oxygen tank.
06:41I guessed with his dad's medical bills, he'd never have enough money to even think about
06:45music school.
06:46So, I decided to let Zeke tell Lance he was gonna keep dating me for a bet.
06:50The next day at school, I saw Lance and the other three heartthrobs looking at me and
06:54snickering to themselves.
06:56Even other kids seemed to be onto the bed, but I could live through it.
06:59I was doing a good deed by humiliating myself.
07:02Plus, Zeke was fun to be around, and I didn't mind having him as my fake boyfriend.
07:06One night, I decided to invite him to a celebrity party Mara and I were attending.
07:10I even bought him a suit and tie, and secretly, I thought he looked super handsome.
07:15At one point, I was walking by the entrance when suddenly, I saw Zeke standing with Lance
07:19and his friends, and Zeke was saying he had to go.
07:22What do you mean?
07:23This is a huge exclusive party that I invited you to.
07:26Listen, cranky face.
07:27I came to pick up your boyfriend for some last-minute plans.
07:30Surely, you two can reschedule.
07:32With that, Zeke took off with the boys, and for some reason, I felt really angry about
07:37it.
07:37Just then, Mara came over to ask if I was okay, and I ended up telling her everything.
07:42Look, I know you feel bad for Zeke because of his home situation, but you don't have to
07:46sell your dignity for charity.
07:48If you think he doesn't genuinely care about you, just dump his sorry butt in front of
07:52everyone tomorrow.
07:53Or, I can talk tomorrow in school, like an actual mature person.
07:57But I know maturity is kind of a foreign concept to you and the other kids at school.
08:01Okay, listen, sis.
08:03You've never had any real friend or boyfriend before, and I'm at the top of our school
08:07social ladder.
08:08I know how to deal with these things.
08:10I can handle this myself, thanks.
08:11Just because I don't date a different guy each week doesn't mean I need boy advice
08:15from you.
08:15So on Monday at school, I headed to the bleachers at lunch where I knew Zeke practiced guitar.
08:20Except he spotted me first and immediately came over to hug me.
08:23I am so sorry about what happened at the party.
08:26Lance decided at the last minute that he wanted to have a betting party.
08:29Kids at school are betting on how I'm gonna break your heart and everything.
08:32I realize this may be going too far.
08:35It's going way too far.
08:37I tried to do a nice thing for you, but you're totally taking advantage of me.
08:40Also, how long are you gonna be Lance's slave for?
08:44Can't you get a scholarship to the school or something?
08:46No, I'm not talented enough.
08:48It's cool.
08:49I'll tell Lance the truth and stand up to him.
08:51I'll just find something other than music that makes me happy.
08:54Zeke turned to walk away, but I just couldn't let him give up his friends, his reputation,
08:58and his dreams.
08:59So I told Zeke I'd help him apply for a scholarship because even though he didn't believe in himself,
09:04I knew he was talented enough to get one.
09:07And two weeks later, he got accepted.
09:09You just made my dreams come true.
09:11Brooke, no one has ever believed in me like that before.
09:14You're amazing.
09:15Zeke suddenly picked me up and spun me around, which made me feel butterflies.
09:19After that, Zeke and I became really close and started hanging out all the time.
09:24I helped him take care of his dad, and he helped me make some friends at school.
09:27Except there were a couple of issues.
09:30One, I started to develop real romantic feelings for Zeke.
09:33And two, was Zeke still hadn't told Lance the truth, even though it was part of our agreement.
09:39So finally, Zeke decided to confront Lance one day after school, as I hid behind a tree
09:43to listen in.
09:44Look, man, I told Brooke about the bet.
09:46It's not right the way we're manipulating her.
09:48Plus, I've been hanging out with her, and I think I want to date her for real.
09:51You know she helped me get a scholarship to the music school you were going to pay for?
09:54Now, you don't have to.
09:55Are you kidding me?
09:57What am I going to tell all the kids who've been giving us money?
09:59Betting the different ways you can dump her?
10:01You're one of us, Zeke, and she's an unpopular loser.
10:04It'll make the whole squad look bad.
10:07If you date her, then you're dead to us.
10:09Fine, then.
10:09You guys are jerks anyway.
10:11I'm going to get myself an awesome girlfriend.
10:13I held my breath as I watched Zeke ditch his friends for me.
10:16And just like that, Zeke and I became an item.
10:19He held my hand, kissed me in public at school, and didn't even seem to care that he'd lost
10:23all his friends in popularity.
10:25Everything seemed to be going well, at least for a couple of weeks.
10:28Then one weekend, I went away with my family for a camping trip with no Wi-Fi or cell reception.
10:33But when I arrived back at school on Monday, something horrible happened.
10:37I was sitting in the cafeteria when suddenly, Zeke stood up on one of the tables with a
10:41microphone and speakers.
10:42Can I have everyone's attention?
10:44I have something to say to my girlfriend, Brooke.
10:46I'm sorry, babe, but I just can't date you anymore.
10:49I've realized that I don't want to be with a stuck-up sourpuss who's way below my league.
10:53It's also really lame that you've never dated anyone before.
10:56So for all of you out there who bet money how I'd dump Brooke, the ones who selected
11:00public humiliation win.
11:01I stood with shock as I watched a bunch of kids run over to Zeke, Lance, and the other
11:06guys with cash.
11:07None of this made any sense.
11:09Had it just all been a setup?
11:10I ran out of the room and into the hallway to collect myself when I saw Zeke behind me.
11:15Brooke, I am so sorry I had to do that.
11:17But I had a good reason.
11:18What good reason could you possibly have for humiliating me like that?
11:22Please, just listen to me.
11:24My dad had to have an emergency medical procedure over the weekend that I couldn't pay for.
11:28And since there was no way to reach you, I had to ask Lance for help.
11:31He said he'd only pay for it on the condition that I publicly dump you.
11:34I'm so sorry.
11:35I still want to be with you, though.
11:37It just might have to be in secret.
11:39You know what?
11:40No, I don't care what your reasons are.
11:42I am so freaking sick of all of your excuses to manipulate and humiliate me.
11:47We're done, Zeke.
11:48That night, I refused to let myself cry.
11:51Zeke didn't deserve my tears.
11:52I didn't need any cowardly idiots in my life anyway.
11:55The next afternoon, I was studying in the library when I decided to take a break for some coffee and MSA videos.
12:01But while I was relaxing, Lance suddenly sat down next to me.
12:04Ooh, MSA.
12:05I watch them on TikTok all the time.
12:07Let me help you pick an episode.
12:08If you come anywhere near me or my computer, I'll squeeze your head until your brain pops out.
12:14Oh, wait.
12:14I forgot.
12:15You don't have a brain.
12:16Probably why you watch MSA on TikTok instead of YouTube.
12:19You know, YouTube, the site for smart people.
12:23Wow.
12:23Zeke must really regret dumping you.
12:25Yeah, about that.
12:27I know it was you who forced Zeke to break up with me.
12:30Why do you have to go around messing with his life and mine?
12:33The way you and your friends bet on me and tried to break my heart for fun?
12:36How sick do you have to be to want to do something like that?
12:39Maybe some people just enjoy messing with other people's lives.
12:43You should ask your sister.
12:44After all, the whole betting game was her idea.
12:46Lance got up and left, leaving me very confused.
12:49What did he mean by that?
12:51He was probably just messing with me.
12:52But I still asked Mara about it, and she got really quiet.
12:56Okay, it's true that it was my idea, but let me explain.
12:59I just felt bad because our whole lives, you've lived in my shadow.
13:03I have everything.
13:04Fame, popularity, friends, and you didn't get any of that.
13:07So I wanted to find you a cute boyfriend to make you happy.
13:11Except none of the guys at school wanted to date you.
13:14The only ones who were willing to were Lance and his friends, if they could make money off of it.
13:18But I had hoped one of them would fall for you for real.
13:21I was stunned and silent as Mara apologized over and over.
13:26I knew her heart had been in the right place, but she'd gotten me into such a giant mess.
13:30God, I just needed space from everyone.
13:32The next morning, I was going through the mail when I saw an envelope from Zeke's music school.
13:37To my surprise, they'd returned a check I'd paid as a deposit to confirm his place in the program.
13:42Apparently, Zeke had called the college and declined the offer to attend.
13:46I thought right away of his sick dad, and suddenly, I got a bad feeling.
13:50I drove immediately to Zeke's house, but when I reached there,
13:52he was sitting outside and playing guitar, looking perfectly happy.
13:56Zeke, is everything okay?
13:58Did you call your college and decline the offer?
14:00Yeah, I just didn't feel right taking your money to attend there.
14:03Not after the way I treated you, so I'm just gonna save up and reapply next year.
14:08In the meantime, I got a job, and my dad's doing better.
14:11Thank you for believing in me, Brooke.
14:12You have no idea how much it means to me.
14:15Zeke came over to hug me, and I felt those stupid, happy butterflies again.
14:19Hey, listen, are you still friends with Lance?
14:22God, no. I'm done being his slave.
14:24I took a loan and paid him back everything I owed him for dad.
14:28So, if I give you a second chance, that means you can't be an idiot this time.
14:33I swear on my life, I won't be.
14:35I want you back, and I won't have it any other way.
14:38So, I guess my sister did achieve her goal of finding me a guy,
14:42even though it was in the craziest way possible.
14:45Still, maybe one of these days, I could thank her for it.
