00:00My best friend Amy and I were staring at my laptop in shock.
00:04If you don't do something, your channel will die faster than the plant I got yesterday.
00:09I've already tried everything!
00:11Last week, I reviewed those awful diet cookies that tasted like feet,
00:14and the week before, you made me endorse that dumb purple lipstick that everyone hated.
00:19Don't blame the lipstick! It's not my fault that your followers have no fashion sense.
00:23That's not the point! I'm gonna be kicked out of the squad house if I don't think of something soon!
00:27Hi, I'm Lola, a 17-year-old YouTube star.
00:30And at this point in my life, I was hoping to keep my spot in the squad house,
00:34a place where world-famous influencers come together to make videos for money.
00:38Please like and subscribe to MSA!
00:40Staying in the squad house was a big deal for me because, unlike most influencers here,
00:45I didn't come from a rich family.
00:46My dad was a farmer, and even though he worked hard, we were barely scraping by.
00:51Things got worse when Dad fell sick and couldn't work for months.
00:54Mom tried helping, but she was just bad at everything, so I decided to work as a part-time waitress.
01:00Then one day at work, a colleague of mine introduced me to vlogging, and I was hooked!
01:04I spent hours watching people on YouTube live their best lives.
01:08And when I found out the kind of money they made, I had to give it a shot!
01:12So I saved up, bought a second-hand camera, and started recording!
01:16Hola, I'm Lola, and I'm gonna take you through a typical day at the farm.
01:21So I start by feeding the pigs, then I feed the chickens, collect the eggs, and try not to break them!
01:27Follow me for more such content!
01:29I posted a bunch of videos, but I didn't get a lot of followers,
01:33until one day I was recording a live video of the farm,
01:35when I accidentally slipped and fell into a pig pen.
01:38I got out, but then tripped and fell into a haystack, making a complete fool of myself!
01:44Everything was streamed online, and I was super embarrassed!
01:47But to my surprise, people loved it!
01:49I didn't think much of it, until a few days later when I was shooting a video,
01:53this chicken flew into my face, and I fell into a tray of eggs!
01:56And that clip went viral too!
01:59People loved watching me do stupid things around the farm, so that's what I gave them!
02:03I made videos on being chased around by goats, almost getting kicked by a cow while milking her,
02:08cleaning horse poop, and then slipping right into it, and I got really famous!
02:14Soon, I was doing advertisements and brand endorsements, making enough money to support my family!
02:19Six months later, I moved into the squad house, where I met my best friend Amy.
02:24We were roommates, and even though her dad was rich, she was pretty grounded.
02:27She also gave me advice on how I could make my vlogs better.
02:30It's time you move on from being the goofy pig pen girl, and focus on something bigger,
02:35like fashion and lifestyle.
02:37You're in the big leagues now, you gotta step up your game!
02:40Amy was a very famous vlogger, so I took her advice.
02:43I bought designer clothes, started doing a bunch of makeup tutorials,
02:47and completely transformed my channel!
02:49Life was great, until a few weeks later when I joined my new school, and everything changed!
02:54It was my first day when I was rushing to class like a headless chicken,
02:58and crashed right into this tall guy, and boy, was he cute!
03:02Is it fate, or just your good luck that you ran into me today?
03:05I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking!
03:07Don't be sorry, it's not every day that you fall into Brett's arms.
03:11Hey, you're the girl who made videos about chickens and pigs, right?
03:15I love your stuff, but I think it's missing something.
03:18Like what?
03:19Me, of course!
03:21You and I should hang out.
03:22I'm sure your followers would love to see a handsome new stranger on your channel.
03:26Think about it!
03:27Brett gave me his number, winked, and left, and I couldn't stop smiling.
03:31Later I found out that he was a year senior, and one of the most popular guys in school.
03:36That evening when I got home, I called him, and he invited me to a party!
03:40I was just getting ready when Amy walked in.
03:43Where are you off to, looking like that?
03:45To a party with Brett?
03:47Brett?
03:47Like Brett from school?
03:49Why him?
03:50Because he asked me, and because he's cute.
03:52Is he cute, or was he just flexing his muscles?
03:55Is he cute, or did he tell you that you have really pretty eyes?
03:59Is he cute, or is he just the guy whose arms you happen to fall into?
04:03Uh, all of the above?
04:04What's your point?
04:05Brett's a total jerk!
04:07Just last week, he was dating the head cheerleader, and the week before that, he was dating a chick
04:11from my drama class.
04:12He's a player, Lola.
04:14Relax, it's just a party.
04:16It's not like anything will happen.
04:18Obviously, things didn't go as planned, and a week later, Brett and I were dating.
04:22His dad was really rich, so he was always getting invited to award shows and exclusive events,
04:27and I was his plus one.
04:29For the next few weeks, my life was a dream.
04:32My followers loved watching my life with Brett, and when we did our first commercial together,
04:36people were calling us couple goals.
04:38But soon after, Brett started showing his true colors.
04:41Are you seriously going to eat that burger?
04:44Shouldn't you order a salad or something?
04:47But I'm hungry.
04:48I've been shooting all day.
04:49I'm saying it for your own good, babe.
04:51No one would want to see you if you get chubbier.
04:53And trust me, you're well on your way.
04:56He even started taking over my vlogs.
04:58No one was interested in my life anymore.
05:01All everyone wanted to know was what Brett ate, how he did his hair, how he clipped his nails.
05:06So, my mom used to make this mud mask for me back home.
05:09I'm going to take one scoop of this and apply it in an anti-clockwise direction.
05:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:14Everyone knows how to apply face cream.
05:17Why don't we just show them something they actually want?
05:19More Brett.
05:20Here's a shot of my perfect abs.
05:22And look at my forearms.
05:24You like it, don't you?
05:25Let's try another angle.
05:27What about this?
05:29And he just kept getting more obnoxious.
05:31He started a fitness channel of his own, got really popular,
05:34and moved to the squad house, too.
05:36At first, I thought it was great because now Brett and I could shoot more videos.
05:40But then, he stopped showing up for shoots.
05:42I confronted him, and he had the most bizarre thing to say.
05:46I need a bigger cut or I can't film with you.
05:48But I'm the one getting us the deals.
05:51We should get paid equally.
05:52In that case, count me out.
05:54I've already taken an advance, Brett.
05:56You can't leave me hanging like that.
05:58Then just pay me more.
05:59I'm the bigger celebrity now.
06:01I will get peaked.
06:03Well, all you do is paint your face with makeup.
06:06I'm the one who made you famous, Brett.
06:08Without me, no one would even know you exist.
06:10You know what?
06:11You and your channel can both eat bugs.
06:13We're done.
06:14What do you mean?
06:15I mean, I don't want to see your stupid face anymore.
06:18You can't leave.
06:19I'm Brett.
06:20No one leaves Brett.
06:22Watch me.
06:22And with that, I turned around and left.
06:25Brett kept calling me all night, but I simply blocked him and went to bed.
06:28And the next morning, I woke up to Amy screaming in my face.
06:32Apparently, Brett had announced our breakup publicly, making him sound like some heartbroken
06:37martyr.
06:37And my followers were going down.
06:40And even worse, I was getting calls from my sponsors saying they were pulling out their
06:44campaign if Brett was no longer filming with me.
06:47I tried calling Brett, but he had left for a month for some fitness boot camp and I couldn't
06:51reach him.
06:52I always knew that boy's trouble, but you were so happy with him, I didn't say anything.
06:57You literally called him butt-faced and threw Brett at his head at dinner yesterday.
07:01I didn't throw it at him.
07:03His big head got in the way.
07:05I don't care, Amy.
07:06Those deals were my content for the next two months.
07:09What am I supposed to do now?
07:11Maybe I should apologize to Brett.
07:12You don't need Brett.
07:13Remember how much your followers loved you when you first started dating Brett?
07:17All you need to do is find a new guy.
07:19Are you serious?
07:19Yes, and the timing is perfect.
07:23Colin Angel, the top YouTuber in the world, is coming to the squad house next week.
07:27Just work your Lola charm, and I'm sure he'll melt like ice cream on a hot day.
07:32You think it'll work?
07:34We have to try.
07:35Trust me, Brett will be old news soon once you're dating a hot new guy.
07:39Maybe Amy was right, and it was worth a shot.
07:42But Colin was a celebrity, and I had to make a good first impression.
07:45So, I stalked his social media, learned everything about him, and when he came to the squad house, I felt prepared.
07:52Colin, hey!
07:54What's up, yo?
07:56Do I know you?
07:57You tell me.
07:58Do I know me?
07:59I mean, you do know you.
08:01I have a weird sense of humor.
08:03Sorry.
08:03I'm Lola, by the way.
08:05Short for Lorraine.
08:06But don't call me Lorraine.
08:07It makes me sound like a 90-year-old granny.
08:09It's such a stupid name.
08:11What I'm trying to say is...
08:12I'll call you Lola.
08:13Cool?
08:14That's perfection.
08:15I mean, yeah, whatever.
08:17Do you want some fruit punch?
08:19Sorry.
08:19I'm allergic to all fruits.
08:21And with that, he left.
08:22Okay, that hadn't worked.
08:24So next, I went through his post to find his favorite bakery and ordered the most expensive cupcakes for him.
08:30He was sitting alone at breakfast when I pulled a chair up next to him.
08:33Is the seat taken?
08:35Do you see anyone sitting there?
08:37Oh my god, you're so funny.
08:39Anyway, I got these cupcakes from your favorite bakery as my way of welcoming you to Squad House.
08:46Colin stared at the cupcakes and turned green.
08:49Take those away from me.
08:50I hate this bakery, Lola.
08:52It gave me the most horrible food poisoning of my life.
08:55But the internet says...
08:56Don't you know not to believe everything the internet says?
09:00Oh god, I'm having flashbacks.
09:02And Colin covered his mouth and ran.
09:05For the next few days, I tried everything to get Colin's attention.
09:09I left cute notes for him in his room, sent him flowers, chocolates, but nothing worked.
09:13I'd almost given up when one evening, I was walking past the common room and I heard someone singing.
09:19It was Colin.
09:20He spotted me in the doorway and stopped.
09:22Sorry, did I break your flow?
09:25It's cool, I was leaving anyway.
09:26Wait, I was thinking, maybe we could...
09:29Look, Lola, I'm not dumb.
09:31I know you've been flirting with me and you're very cute, so I'm flattered.
09:34But I've been avoiding it because I know you've just broken up with your boyfriend.
09:38And I can't be someone's rebound.
09:40But you're not a rebound.
09:42I really want to get to know you.
09:44And honestly, Brett was a big mistake.
09:46I was losing myself in that relationship and I'm so much happier now.
09:50I know how that feels.
09:52And I'm glad you're out of it then.
09:54Now will you sing for me, Pretty Please?
09:56Colin smiled and sang some of his favorite songs for me.
10:00We laughed and chatted till it was past midnight.
10:03Then he asked me out for a dinner date the next day.
10:05I thought Colin would take me to a fancy place.
10:08But instead, he took me to this broken taco truck that belonged to his dad.
10:12This food truck was all we had.
10:14Until I shot to fame and changed my family's lives.
10:18Wow, I support my family too.
10:20It's tough for kids like us out there.
10:22It is.
10:23Now sit back.
10:24You're about to see something very special.
10:26Colin pulled out a chef's hat and cooked me the most amazing meal.
10:30As I sat there eating my heart out, I could feel Colin watching me.
10:34Suddenly, he leaned in to wipe sauce off my face and I felt butterflies.
10:38And after that day, we only got closer.
10:41Colin was talented, grounded, and very easy to talk to.
10:44When I asked him if he'd film a few vlogs with me, he happily agreed.
10:48Finally, my channel started picking up again.
10:51And with each video, my numbers only got better.
10:54But I couldn't stop feeling guilty.
10:56Colin had been so nice to me.
10:57And even though I liked him now, my intentions hadn't been exactly transparent with him.
11:02I wanted to tell him the truth, but Amy advised against it.
11:05You can't.
11:06Not until we have more content for your channel.
11:08Your numbers are up, but it's not enough.
11:10But I can't keep lying to Colin.
11:12He's so sweet and I really like him.
11:15I really liked Brett too.
11:16Look how that went.
11:17And let's say you tell Colin the truth that you used him to gather views for your channel.
11:22How do you know he won't go online and broadcast everything?
11:24Think about your family before doing anything stupid.
11:27I thought about it a lot, but I concluded that I just couldn't lie to Colin anymore.
11:32So the next morning, I sat down and wrote a note to Colin, confessing everything.
11:36I was on my way to slip the note in this room, when suddenly Brett got in the way.
11:40Hey babe, I'm back.
11:42What do you want?
11:43I want us to do a collaboration video.
11:45Why?
11:46I thought you're too famous for me.
11:47I am, but I guess my followers just want to see your pretty face on my channel.
11:52So what do you say?
11:53Get back together?
11:54I'd rather get punched in the face.
11:56Fine.
11:56Suit yourself.
11:57But first see this.
11:59Brett shoved his phone in my face and I was shocked.
12:02It was a recording of me and Amy talking about Colin and how I'd used him to save my channel.
12:06I was just taking it all in, when suddenly Colin spoke behind me.
12:11Is this true?
12:12You used me to boost your channel?
12:14Colin, please, hear me out.
12:16It started off like that, but I swear, I liked you almost immediately.
12:21I didn't fake that.
12:22I do believe you, Lola.
12:24And I really like you too.
12:26Excuse me, that's my girlfriend you're talking to.
12:30Ex-girlfriend.
12:31Amy, where did you come from?
12:33Dude, focus.
12:34Yes, Lola, focus on me.
12:37If we get back together, I'll give you the bigger cut on every project.
12:40Deal?
12:41No, don't.
12:42I'm more famous than he ever will be.
12:44I'll make sure your channel becomes super popular.
12:47You know I can do that.
12:49Colin's got a point and it doesn't hurt that he's a total dreamboat.
12:52Better than this moron, Brett.
12:54Shut up!
12:55You shut up.
12:56You shut up first!
12:59I'm not listening.
13:00You'll lose.
13:02Oh my god!
13:04Quiet!
13:05All of you!
13:05I think I'm done with all of you.
13:07Lola, listen to me.
13:09No, Amy.
13:10You listen to me.
13:11You know what I just realized?
13:12I was good.
13:13Great, in fact.
13:14Till I started listening to your advice.
13:16Wear this.
13:17Date him.
13:18Don't date him.
13:19It's crazy.
13:20I know it's coming from a good place, but it's not me.
13:23I didn't want my channel to be about makeup and boys.
13:26People liked me when I was authentic and made them laugh.
13:30That was my thing and I want to go back to it.
13:32And Brett, get your head out of your butt.
13:34The world doesn't revolve around you and I am never working with you again.
13:38Fine, then I'll post this video of you admitting you used Colin, and I'll tell everyone you
13:44used me too, and you're just an opportunistic witch.
13:47Your voice is so irritating, man.
13:50Just shut up.
13:51Suddenly, Amy snatched the phone from his hand and threw it away, breaking it into pieces.
13:56Brett charged at Amy, but Colin pushed him away.
13:59Brett got up again and started throwing things around like a crazy person.
14:02Some of the other influencers had come running at all the noise, and they live-streamed Brett's
14:07meltdown.
14:08Brett was immediately thrown out of Squad House.
14:11After security took him away, Colin walked over to me.
14:14So I guess you and I.
14:16Colin, you're a wonderful guy, but right now, I need to focus on just me.
14:21I feel like I've lost myself all over again.
14:23I'm gonna go home.
14:25I really like you, Lola.
14:26But yeah, I totally respect your decision to be on your own right now.
14:30Who says she's on her own?
14:32I'm coming with you.
14:33You will?
14:34Sure.
14:35I can do some makeup vlogs at the farm.
14:37Also, I owe you an apology.
14:39I think you redeemed yourself with that little stunt you pulled on Brett.
14:43Yeah, I really cracked that nut.
14:46At least I was right about him.
14:47Can't argue with that.
