00:00Hi guys, my name is Melanie, but call me Mel. Please like and subscribe to MSA.

00:05I used to live with my older brother Mark, and my parents, who usually kept super busy with their work.

00:10With them gone for hours, Mark'd be responsible for the house and me.

00:14But that didn't come easy for him, because I was a mess.

00:18As a kid, I was really wild and clumsy.

00:21I'd run around the house causing trouble, and he'd had to chase after me to keep me in check.

00:26No more chocolates, Mel. They ain't good for your teeth.

00:30But they're falling out anyways, brother, so let me have my fun.

00:33Even the kids at school would make fun of me for being weird and clumsy.

00:37But it all changed as I stepped into adolescence, and the gorgeous genes in the family started to kick in.

00:43By the time I was 15, the same boys who'd teased me in my childhood now started asking me out.

00:49These are for you. Happy birthday, beautiful.

00:51Same to you.

00:52Um, I mean, little did they know, I was still the same weird me on the inside.

00:58And Mark's protectiveness was all the more reason why I'd never gone on a single date.

01:04No doubt I loved him to bits.

01:06But he'd influence all the things I did at home and school, and it'd drive me crazy.

01:12Why did you throw away my party invitations?

01:15Why did you delete my Insta account?

01:17Why'd you sign me up for a geography class?

01:20Because that'll help you in your future.

01:21You should be thankful you have a brother like me, Mel.

01:23Or else, how are you gonna survive in this world?

01:26Happily.

01:27Saying that, I stormed out of his room.

01:29But later that night, he came to me.

01:31Are you still mad at me, Mel?

01:33Okay, listen.

01:34I've always wanted the best for you since you were a kid.

01:36Yeah, but I'm not a kid anymore, and you gotta stop controlling my life!

01:40Fine.

01:40You're gonna have it that ways anyways.

01:42Because I'm moving out for college next week.

01:44What?

01:45I didn't know how to react, cause I was both happy and sad about him leaving.

01:50But after Mark left, I had this feeling that I could take complete control over my life.

01:55Especially when Mom and Dad were moving to a new city for their work, and I was shifting with them.

02:01Our new house was like a giant mansion.

02:04And my room had these big windows and a tall mirror that took up most of the north wall.

02:09But more than anything, I was excited about getting a fresh start at school, because Mark wasn't here to hijack my life!

02:17So, on the very first day, I wore a gorgeous new dress to school.

02:21But, just as I was making my way through the hallways, I stumbled and bumped into a girl who was holding giant paint buckets in her hands,

02:30and all of them came flying onto my dress!

02:33Holy jeez!

02:35I ended up on the floor, but the girl reached out her hand towards me.

02:38Are you okay?

02:39I took it and quickly got off my butt, but I couldn't believe my eyes.

02:43She had gorgeous blonde hair and the sweetest smile.

02:47It was like I had an instant crush!

02:50I'm so sorry about the paint.

02:52Oh gosh, I ruined your dress!

02:54Come with me!

02:55She grabbed my hand and took me to the changing room, and there she handed me a fresh pair of clothes.

03:00Try this.

03:01It's not that great, but it'll help you make a good impression on your first day.

03:05How did you know it was my first day?

03:06Word gets around here fast.

03:08Especially about cute girls.

03:09Um, okay, thank you!

03:11Uh, if that was a compliment, I mean.

03:13Uh, was it?

03:14Oh, never mind.

03:15I'm just blabbering.

03:16Wow, you're adorable!

03:17Saying that, she went away.

03:19But indeed, I did make an impression.

03:21Cause that dress was all torn from behind.

03:25And all the kids were laughing at me as I walked the hallways, except for the one girl that helped me out.

03:32Can't believe Jenny would prank you like this.

03:34But then again, she's Jenny.

03:36What do you mean?

03:37And who are you?

03:38Well, I'm Lauren, and I'm definitely not like her.

03:42But she's evil.

03:43She's got these weird family issues with a mute mom and a mute stepdad who's a complete jerk.

03:49And she's turning out to be just like them.

03:52Yeah, I could tell that by now.

03:54Lauren stuck by my side for the rest of the day, and we bonded pretty well.

03:58She was fun and notorious, just like me, and had this YouTube channel where she'd make entertaining vlogs.

04:05She even introduced me to this music club that she was a part of, and I was loving her so much that I wanted to be just like her now.

04:13Within a week, it was like we were besties, with no one to ruin our adventures.

04:18Or at least that's what I thought.

04:20Cause there was someone whom I felt kept a constant eye on us and followed us everywhere at school.

04:27Jenny.

04:27One time, I was in the swimming class, but just as I popped out of the water, I was shocked to see Jenny right in front of me.

04:34Jeez!

04:35You scared me!

04:36What the heck?

04:37You should stay away from Lauren.

04:38She's not nice, and she's just spoiling you.

04:41Really?

04:42Who are you, my mom?

04:44And why do you care?

04:45Especially after what you did to me on the very first day.

04:48That wasn't me!

04:49I don't believe you.

04:51Just leave me alone!

04:52Yeah, okay.

04:53I'm leaving.

04:54But this is the last time I'm warning you about Lauren.

04:57Don't be stupid.

04:58I don't like stupid people.

05:00Excuse me?

05:01With that, she took my towel and left!

05:04What a psycho!

05:05But luckily, after that day, I didn't see much of Jenny, and I got busy with my music club rehearsals.

05:11The school had its very own band, with Lauren as the lead singer, and I wanted to audition to be a part of it too.

05:17So I practiced really hard and nailed my auditions.

05:21And as a treat, Lauren took me out to dinner.

05:23You were great today.

05:24I'm sure you're gonna get selected.

05:26So, what can I get you?

05:28Jenny?

05:28I didn't know you worked here.

05:30That's okay.

05:31She ain't Jennifer Lopez.

05:32That we should be remembering small details about you.

05:35Lauren!

05:36After that, she took my order and went away, and Lauren turned towards me.

05:40You don't have to be so nice to her.

05:42I told you, she's a psycho.

05:44Yeah, I get that.

05:45But what you said also wasn't nice, man.

05:48She keeps following you everywhere.

05:50And the other day, I saw her chasing away some guys who were coming to talk to you.

05:54God knows what she's up to.

05:56Suddenly, Jenny came back with our order, but she seemed off.

06:00That's your order.

06:01And here's something those guys sent for you.

06:03I don't like their vibe.

06:04If you want, I can make them leave.

06:06Make them leave?

06:07Are you nuts?

06:08Send them over to us.

06:09They're cute.

06:10But they seem bad.

06:11No one asked for your opinion.

06:13Now get out of here.

06:15And before I could even say anything, Lauren called them over, and Jenny walked away angrily.

06:20I also felt awkward, because I was still a noob when it came to dating and chatting with guys.

06:26So I rushed towards the restroom, but one of the guys followed me there.

06:30God, you're pretty.

06:31It's like I'm drawn to you.

06:33To the washroom?

06:34I need to pee.

06:35Go away.

06:36But he came closer and tried to kiss me.

06:38What are you doing, jerk?

06:40Get away.

06:41I slapped him hard in the face.

06:43But just then Jenny came from behind and dumped an entire tray of food over his head.

06:48You moron.

06:49How dare you touch her?

06:50I'm going to kill you.

06:52She kicked him behind his knee and climbed onto his shoulders and started pulling his hair.

06:57Suddenly, there were loud screams across the restaurant, and the managers came running.

07:01They fired Jenny on the spot for misbehaving with her customers, and I had to butt in.

07:07No!

07:08She didn't do anything wrong.

07:09She was just trying to help.

07:11Shh!

07:11Let her be.

07:12I told you she was nuts.

07:14Let's just go from here.

07:16Lauren pulled me out of there, and we both went home.

07:18But later that night, I couldn't stop thinking about Jenny.

07:21She tried to help me, but got fired.

07:23I was feeling terrible.

07:25But then suddenly, I heard a loud thud in my room.

07:28I got up and checked, and saw the big mirror in my room was open, and it had a secret room

07:34behind it.

07:35Holy freaks!

07:37I grabbed the side lamp and was ready for action, but then the unthinkable happened.

07:42Jenny!

07:43Did you follow me all the way home?

07:45God, she was really a psycho.

07:47I started backing away because I was frightened.

07:50Mel?

07:51Melanie?

07:52Tell me what you're doing here, or I'm going to call the cops.

07:54No!

07:55Don't do that.

07:56Don't call anyone.

07:57I'll tell you everything.

07:58This...

07:59This was my home.

08:00Before my mom married my stepdad, we used to live here happily.

08:03I looked around and saw toys and Jenny's pictures with her family all over the walls.

08:09She wasn't lying about this.

08:11But then my dad left and mom married that jerk, and he sold everything because of his

08:15gambling habits.

08:16Mom's head over heels for him, so we won't leave him.

08:19And today, when they learned that I got fired from the restaurant, they got mad at me, and

08:23I just ran away.

08:24Oh, God.

08:25I'm so sorry, Jenny.

08:27I had no idea.

08:28I thought you were stalking me.

08:30What?

08:31Why'd you think that?

08:32Because Lauren told me you kept following me, and that you'd chase away all the guys

08:37who tried to come near me.

08:38I'm not a stalker, Mel.

08:40I didn't know you lived here.

08:42And I did all that because I...

08:44I...

08:44I was just trying to protect you after what happened on your first day of school.

08:49But if that's what you think of me, then fine.

08:51I'm gonna leave.

08:52It made me feel bad that she was just trying to be protective, and that reminded me of

08:57my brother.

08:58Jenny, it's all right.

08:59You don't have to leave.

09:00If you want, you can stay with me.

09:01No, Mel.

09:02You think of me as someone bad.

09:04You're not bad.

09:05The guy who tried to kiss me was bad, and I want to thank you for saving me from him.

09:10And I'm sorry that you got fired because of me.

09:12So please stay.

09:14Her face lit up, and she came and hugged me.

09:17And for some reason, my heart started racing.

09:19This was crazy.

09:21The next two days, it was the weekend.

09:23Mom and Dad weren't home, and Jenny stayed with me.

09:26And surprisingly, it was fun.

09:28We shared so many interests together, including MSA being our favorite YouTube channel.

09:34And she baked me the most delicious cookies in the world.

09:38Later at night, I was even having trouble working on my homework when she came and helped me.

09:43Come on, Mel.

09:44Mel, I know you have it in you.

09:45I'm not really on the smart side.

09:47But you can be on the hardworking side.

09:50Come on, it's just to pass a few grades.

09:52Okay, I'll try harder.

09:54But instead of that, I ended up sleeping like a log.

09:57And when I woke up, I saw she was sleeping right next to me.

10:01And for some reason, I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful face.

10:05Hey, what are you looking at?

10:07Oh, I... I was just...

10:10I fell in love with you from the very first moment, Mel.

10:13And that's why I was super protective about you.

10:15Though I may have shooed away some stupid boys out of jealousy, too.

10:19Gosh, oh, she was so adorable.

10:22And I liked her all the more for this.

10:24Then she got up and played some music and pulled me in for a dance.

10:28We danced and played games all night long.

10:30And I was super excited to go and break this news to Lauren the next day.

10:35But instead, she gave me a shock.

10:37Watch this.

10:38I'm gonna upload this video on my channel.

10:40Psycho Witch Gone Nuts.

10:42What?

10:42No.

10:43You know that's not true.

10:45Jenny's a good person, Lauren.

10:47She tried to help me.

10:48Who cares?

10:49We'll get millions of views if we post crazy videos like this.

10:53And she's a loner.

10:54Nobody cares about her.

10:55I do.

10:56What?

10:57I told her everything.

10:58But instead of being happy about me, she looked grossed out.

11:02Ew!

11:03I can't believe you'd go for someone like her.

11:06She ain't even rich like us anymore.

11:09How does that matter, Lauren?

11:10I like her.

11:11And she likes me.

11:12And you should drop that low-leveled thinking of yours.

11:15Low level?

11:17OMG!

11:18How dare you?

11:20Do you have any idea whom you're talking to?

11:23I'm the queen of this school, and you're nothing without me.

11:27If it wasn't for the misfired prank I tried to pull on Jenny, I'd have never even talked

11:32to you.

11:33What do you mean?

11:34You were the one who tore her clothes?

11:36Yeah.

11:36I did it to get more subscribers for my channel.

11:39But then I saw you wearing those clothes and the kids making fun of you.

11:43I felt bad, so I thought I could be nice to you for a while.

11:47But it looks like I pitied the wrong person.

11:50Saying that, she pushed me.

11:52But I couldn't let her do this to Jenny, so I snatched her phone and smashed it into

11:57pieces.

11:58You witch!

11:59Suddenly she jumped onto me, and we both broke into a wild fight.

12:04The teachers came running and pulled us apart.

12:06I'm not gonna spare you now.

12:08I rule this place.

12:09I'm a diva, with thousands of subscribers watching me and following me.

12:14And that little music band you wanna get into?

12:17I run it.

12:18I know.

12:19I know everything you do, and I've always admired you for it.

12:22So much that I always wanted to be just like you, but not anymore.

12:27Cause now I know that you're a bad person, and you use people to get famous, and I'd never

12:33wanna be like you.

12:34She's right.

12:35Lauren is just so evil.

12:37Yeah, she's not even that good of a singer.

12:39They have her in the band cause of her popularity.

12:42She's so egotistical.

12:44Suddenly, the color on Lauren's face faded, listening to all the comments and seeing the

12:49cameras around her.

12:50And then we were taken to the principal's office, where we waited for a few hours, until

12:54I saw my brother walk out of there.

12:57Mark?

12:58What are you doing here?

12:59I came to give you guys a surprise visit, but mom and dad weren't home, and I got a call

13:03from your school.

13:05And seems like you couldn't stay out of trouble without me, huh?

13:07I didn't do anything wrong.

13:08I know, and I'm proud of that.

13:10Mom and dad told me how well you've been doing on your own.

13:13I ran and hugged him, and he told me I was being put into detention for a week, while Lauren

13:19was being expelled from school cause of several complaints against her for pranking and ill-treating

13:24kids.

13:25I felt bad for her, but then I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.

13:29Are you okay?

13:30I heard what happened, and I got so worried.

13:33Why did you fight with her?

13:34Because you would have done the same for me.
