00:00Hi guys, I'm Lucy. Like and subscribe to hear my crazy story. Growing up, I had a happy life,
00:05and I basically had it all. Only one thing was missing. Siblings. And since my parents were
00:11always busy, I felt lonely. So I came up with new ideas every time. Once when I was four,
00:16I asked my driver to push my life-sized doll in a stroller to my dad's office.
00:20Oh no, she poofed. Dad, can you please change my baby sister's diaper?
00:24Oh honey, I can't do. Remember when you played my bum bum in the middle of the forest with a leaf?
00:31My dad looked horrified. You've got this. You can imagine my dad's embarrassment in the middle of
00:37the meeting. When I turned eight, I grabbed the neighbor's kids and begged my parents to bring
00:41them home. But they weren't convinced. So I did everything to let them stay with me as long as I
00:46could. Until... Stop trying to kidnap my kid. Put down that Prada bag filled with jelly beans and get
00:52your butt home now. As they left, I started bawling. And my parents had enough embarrassment.
00:57So the next month, they adopted six-year-old Harrison from foster care. I was ecstatic.
01:02Welcome to your new house. Whoa, it's so big. Is it an orphanage?
01:07He was so cute. But he didn't play with the toys our parents bought for him. Instead,
01:12he picked up the cans from the bin and played with those. He also kept wearing the same clothes
01:17until they got worn out. My heart just swelled. So I stepped up and decided everything for him
01:22since then. But outside the house, his innocence quickly made him a target for bullies. Like in
01:27primary school, this one kid, Finn, kept picking on him. Once, when he made Harrison wipe up his
01:32shoes dipped in dog poop... Hey! Gross! I went full demon mode on this kid and sent him packing.
01:39But the teacher caught me giving him a black eye.
01:41Lucy Godot Raffaelli. My office now. I was in deep trouble. And I got detention for three weeks.
01:48And mom had me doing chores for twice as long. But it was all worth it. Finn never messed with
01:53Harrison again. But when Harrison turned 12, he bought ponies for all the pretty girls to get
01:58their attention. This one's for you. Her name is Chestnut. And she loves carrot-flavored ice cream.
02:04Gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, thank you! As a responsible sister, I'd have to go around to all
02:09those girls' houses later to fix the damage. Chestnut's coming back with me. Hey, is that
02:14scarf cashmere? Give that to me. Stay away from Harrison. Understood? I was genuinely worried that
02:19if a girl bats her eyelids at him, he'd buy her Prada bags and skirts from Mew Mew. In high school,
02:24the stakes got higher. There were more bullies who'd trick him. But the biggest threat was the
02:28hotties trying to charm him. Thankfully, my boyfriend Justin was 100% genuine. He was handsome and the best
02:35basketball player. Harrison is totally gonna get his butt whooped. And you're going to follow him
02:39around with a baseball bat beating up anyone who tries? I wish. But I have my own stuff going on too.
02:45But maybe if you could... Nuh-uh. No way. You can hire someone like Nathan. It's not like you don't
02:50have the cash for it. I was kidding, Lucy. I sprinted off looking for Nathan. Oh, meet Nathan,
02:56the editor of our school paper. He's your typical dork. But don't underestimate him. This guy knows his
03:01work best. I remember in middle school, someone was smearing boogers on all the walls. And it turned
03:06out it was our cruelest teacher, Mr. Wobblebottom. And Nathan caught him in the act. Say cheese!
03:12So that meant if I wanted the inside scoop on any girls digging their claws into Harrison,
03:17he was the guy to ask. But when I went to the school newspaper office to find him, I didn't see him.
03:21I saw this muscled blonde guy with a nose piercing. Then I realized that it was Nathan. Wow,
03:28talk about a glow-up puberty did him wonders. If it isn't the Queen Bee, what are you doing here?
03:33I wanted you to keep me updated on any girls getting close to Harrison. And I'm willing to pay
03:38anything. I slid an envelope bursting with cash across the table. But Nathan just laughed.
03:43An info for an info. Tell me more about Justin. Justin? Why? Guys want to be him. Girls want to be
03:49with him. So you feed me the info on his lifestyle and I'll help spy on your little brother. Deal?
03:54Ugh. I wanted to smack Nathan so bad. But now I'm stuck. Spilling the tea about Justin isn't a big
04:00deal. And it might even get him more fans. For the next month, I got the inside track on any girls
04:05who had their eyes on Harrison and shut him down early. And all I had to do was listen to Justin a
04:10bit more when he started gushing about his new protein powder or whatever. But things got messy when
04:15the first article on Justin came out. Gains, gains come my ways. He stopped me at my locker and shoved his
04:21phone in my face. Do you know anything about this? Your special no-carb meal plan? In the school
04:27paper. How'd they find out about that? I eat my lunch in the gym's storeroom just to keep it a
04:31secret. Only two people know about it. My trainer and you. Don't get so worked up. It's just a diet.
04:38Meal plan. This is what determines if you're Olympic level or a local league scrub. You just don't get
04:43it. You never did. He stormed off. And before I could say anything, out of nowhere, Nathan peeked from
04:48behind. Don't worry about it. I heard something else that's going to blow your mind. He told me
04:53that Harrison and this girl Natalie have been secretly meeting up after school. And just today,
04:58she got a new iPhone. Okay, what's the big deal? Nathan said Natalie was on a scholarship and there
05:04was no way she could afford the latest iPhone. That leech! This would be a huge scoop if we can prove
05:10that she's using Harrison for his money. Oh, she definitely is. And since you're Harrison's sister,
05:17I thought you could get in close and help me expose Natalie. Deal. The first step was to figure
05:22out just what Natalie had been scamming my brother out of. Nathan got Natalie's locker code, so I snuck
05:27into the locker room during my free period and took a look inside. Books, gym clothes, stationery,
05:32nothing I could pin on her. On the back of the locker door was a picture of her and Harrison with a
05:37big love heart drawn around it. Blech! And then what really stood out was a folder called Operation
05:43Moolah. Bang! Just then, the door slammed shut in my face. It was Natalie! Find anything you like,
05:49thief? Funny you say that, when you're the one who's been eyeing up my brother's wallet. Oh yeah?
05:54And what did I take from him? And then, as I looked at her hand on the locker door, I saw Natalie was
05:59wearing a glittering diamond ring. Ugh! Get off me! How'd you get this then? Dumpster diving? The crowd
06:05started murmuring and I waited to see Natalie crumble, but she didn't. She looked more confident than ever.
06:11Harrison did give it to me as a promise ring. He gave this to me because he wants to go steady
06:17from now on. And before I could react, a couple of girls squealed, running out of the crowd to cheer
06:22for Natalie. Ugh! I went back to Nathan to tell him what happened. Not gonna lie, this is still great
06:28stuff for me. Not helping, Nathan. I need a new way to expose Natalie. Just then, we pulled out a drawer
06:33filled with cables, microphones, and cameras. How do you have all these? My friends lent it to me in
06:39exchange for information. So this was how he got his info for the gossip column. Over the next week,
06:44we tried to follow Natalie wherever possible, but she wouldn't let us get close at all. Until one day,
06:50we saw her and her friends go to a primary school's playground. We brought a long-distance
06:54microphone with us. He helped me with setting it up. Huh, I can really hear them. Wow, what's that?
06:59I threw the headphones off before my eardrums burst. Some snotty kid was yelling right into the
07:04microphone. Go away from here. It's not cotton candy. I immediately realized my mistake. The kid
07:09started bawling his eyes out. Natalie and her friends went around at the voice, and they started
07:14walking towards us. Oh god, what should I do? They kept walking closer to us. So I pulled Nathan close
07:19and kissed him. I can't have her thinking I'm following her, can I? Ugh, get a room. I pulled
07:24away from Nathan, startled. Just then, Natalie and her friends turned around and walked away.
07:29Wow, that was great. Not another word. I was bewildered as I was still with Justin. So when I
07:34got home, I texted and called Justin, but he didn't respond or return any of my calls. But it's not like
07:40I wanted it. I just did it to show Natalie that we have better things to do than stalk her. I hesitantly
07:45shoved the feelings away and moved on to the next plan. Harrison was taking Natalie on a date to a street
07:51festival. Nathan had an interview with some of the staff there and scored us a mascot costume.
07:55Unfortunately, they only had one spare. A Chinese dragon made for two people. I called dibs on the
08:01front because, let's be real, I didn't want to be stuck staring at his butt all the time. We followed
08:05them around for two hours, but the most he bought her was some cotton candy and a hot dog. What a waste
08:11of time. This is pointless. She's not gonna scam him with so many people around. Come on, another hour.
08:16She's about to crack. Look, they're sneaking behind the fire breather stage. We sidled up next to the
08:20stage, and I peered my giant dragon head slowly around the corner. Oh my god, no! What?
08:25What's happening? I think they're going to... Well, duh. They are dating. No, I won't watch. You have to.
08:32She'll give him a big smooch, then ask him to buy her something. I'm sure. I looked again, but Harrison
08:36and Natalie were staring at each other with stars in their eyes. I thought I might throw up. Harrison
08:41put his hands on Natalie's waist and pulled her in closer. It was too much. I jumped back suddenly,
08:47tripping over Nathan. Watch it! And just then, we crashed into the fire breather's tent pole,
08:52knocking down his backdrop. The whole thing came down just as he spit out a huge plume
08:57of flame. Get up! We need to get out of here! Ah! Get it off! I threw the costume off and realized
09:02things weren't quite as crazy as I thought. There was a small stage fire, but it was quickly
09:06put out with nearby fire extinguishers. The only people panicking were us, and everyone had
09:11noticed. Lucy, what are you doing here? See? I told you. They've been following me around
09:16everywhere. I... no. We were just here, enjoying the festival. You and that gossipy writer Nathan
09:23from the paper? I have other friends, too. I hope you're not counting me as one of them. What? I'm
09:27your brother, but I don't think I can be your friend anymore. You don't even trust me. Trust?
09:32You shouldn't have trusted her. Ask her about Operation Moolah. OMG! That was about those rich
09:38kids I used to tutor. I told Harrison about this already. Harrison looked so betrayed. He stormed off,
09:43taking Natalie with him. And she dared to shoot a smug smile my way. She'd won. Don't worry about
09:49it, Lucy. Once Harrison sees the evidence, he'll understand why. Stop it. It's over. I felt
09:54terrible. I ran away and found myself in the corner shop at school where Harrison and I used to go as
09:59kids. His face would light up when I bought him gummy worms, like they were the most precious thing in
10:04the world. I couldn't help it. I started crying. I've never seen you break a sweat before. Justin was
10:09towering over me in his basketball clothes. Oh, just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse.
10:15What's going on? Harrison hates me. He thinks I'm overprotective. I mean, you are, though.
10:21No, see? I'm upset. I meant it in a nice way. You'd do anything for your brother. Even sell out my
10:26secret meal plan. You knew? I figured it out later. And that's when I realized you haven't got room in
10:32your heart for another guy at the moment. Not while you're still looking out for Harrison. I thought you'd be
10:37angrier. I'm so sorry. I'm a terrible person. Not at all. I knew you had to have a good reason.
10:43You're a good person, but it's not possible for us to move ahead. Justin pulled his bag over his
10:47shoulder and started to walk away. You know, if you had more faith in Natalie too, you'd probably
10:52find something worth looking for. And with that, he was gone. But he'd given me an idea. I headed across
10:57town to the one place I'd find out who Natalie really was. Her house. Natalie's mom opened the door
11:03and invited me in. The place was falling apart. We got to chatting about Natalie's home life. And
11:08then I realized how wrong I was about Natalie. I left calling Nathan. Hello? Yeah, I'm fine.
11:14Don't worry. I need you to do something for me. Consider it a payment for staring at my butt all
11:18day. I'll text you through the deets later. Gotta go. I rushed home and started planning the event.
11:22It took a couple of weeks to get everything together. And Harrison was giving me the cold
11:26shoulder and was dead silent at family dinners during that time. It'll all be worth it. I gathered
11:31everyone in the front yard of Natalie's house, including Natalie's mom and Nathan. And when I
11:36saw Natalie and Harrison coming around, hit the cannons! Confetti drifted through the air as
11:41hundreds of people started cheering and waving. What's all this? When I visited the other week,
11:46your mom told me everything about your dirtbag dad walking out on you and taking everything you had
11:51and then leaving you in this place. No offense, but it's held together with crazy glue. So I wanted to
11:57do something for you. And I put together a fundraiser with your mom's permission, of course. I don't
12:01understand. They're buying us a new house. Natalie was speechless. The first time I had ever seen her
12:08without the smug, all-knowing smile on her face. Who are all these people? I put the word out on my
12:13network about Natalie's situation. Everyone was more than happy to pitch in. I didn't even have to
12:18blackmail anyone this time. I elbowed Nathan in the gut. Not the time. So Natalie, I want to
12:23pull it. Natalie's eyes started to well up, and she ran around the back of the house. Harrison
12:27followed right after her, and I couldn't help but see if everything was okay. I found them sitting
12:31on the rusty swing set, Harrison comforting Natalie. Hey, I'm sorry if I stuck my nose where
12:36it wasn't wanted. No, not at all. I really, really appreciate it. It's just, I don't deserve it.
12:42The truth is, when I first started seeing Harrison, I knew you were rich, like mega rich. And I thought
12:48if I got close to you, maybe I'd get some of the things I knew mom could never afford for me,
12:52like that phone and the ring. No, Harrison just got that for me, and I wanted to wear
12:57it and feel rich for once, to not be looked down on because I don't have as much money
13:01as everyone else. Actually, that's something Harrison and I bonded over. We got picked on
13:05for having so much money, and me for not having enough. I thought we had something deeper than
13:10that. We do. Once I saw how amazing you were, I felt guilty, and I couldn't possibly think
13:15of asking for money, gifts, or anything. I just, I just wanted you. Your big innocent eyes
13:21and your charming smile. Harrison and Natalie locked eyes, and maybe I should have seen it
13:26sooner, but they really did like each other. Harrison, I'm sorry I didn't trust you. You
13:30just need to let me make my own mistakes sometimes, and meet new people. You don't have to worry.
13:35I only have one sister, and that's special, no matter what. Harrison gave me a big hug.
13:39I didn't want to let him go again. Not so tight from now on, okay? I'll try. I let go.
13:45Room for one more? Not now, Nathan!
13:47Aw, come on! I got all these people here!
13:49Oh gosh, I need to go thank everyone!
13:51Natalie and Harrison ran off, leaving Nathan and I on the swing set together.
13:55You know, this fluff piece stuff never sells nearly as well as juicy gossip. How do you
14:00plan to make it up to me?
14:01Well, maybe we can make some juicy gossip of our own. I put my hand on Nathan's, and he
14:06flushed. For once, his cool guy attitude had cracked, and I thought, maybe I have another
14:10innocent guy to look after from now on.
14:17Here we go.
14:18The first thing is that I've put aside a few people's shoes, and that's the two
14:32of those shoes.
14:33There's a thing for our body remarking that I've put on the swing set where we're
14:38Jetztだ's about and me flying something short.
