00:00Now you might be wondering how I went from this to this.
00:06Tragic.
00:08How could this have happened to someone like me?
00:11Well, let's start at the beginning.
00:13And the winner is...
00:16Shelby Wilder!
00:19Oh, my God. This came right.
00:22Are you sure it's her?
00:24Yes, I'm sure.
00:26Girls! Girls, stop!
00:31We need some help over here at security!
00:35Uh, is security gonna do something about this?
00:39The drop belongs to me! Give it to me! No!
00:41Shut up, Shelby!
00:44I deserve it! Look at me!
00:51Marlo, why would you do that?
00:55You acted like a rapid dog on stage in front of everyone!
00:59Serena, you've been coaching for decades.
01:01You know that that crown should have gone to me.
01:03I deserved first place.
01:05I thought so. But then I spoke with the judges.
01:08And they informed me that they saw some really concerning behavior backstage.
01:14What behavior?
01:16Marlo.
01:19You're stunning. I think you're definitely going to place.
01:23And that walk you have...
01:25It's perfect.
01:27The judges can't resist it.
01:29Thanks, sweetie.
01:30Really hope so.
01:31I'll be right back.
01:32Hey! I need those to see!
01:44I'm doing you a favor.
01:50No judge will crown a girl with glasses.
01:52You can't even see your makeup with those frames on.
01:54Oh, thanks?
01:55Ow!
01:56So much for that model walk.
01:57Yikes!
01:58Oh, thanks!
01:59Oh!
02:00Oh, that... that was nothing. I was helping.
02:01I... Marlo.
02:02Okay, fine. I wasn't but...
02:03so much for that model walk oh yikes
02:11oh oh that that was nothing i was helping marlo okay fine i wasn't but this is a competition
02:29since when is it a crime to be competitive and then you have to go and fight poor shelby on stage

12:01private school this is so cool i usually eat alone those girls were so awful to you earlier
12:18you really should tell them off yeah right you're funny marlo you can't let those bullies be so mean

12:54cellular biology this is incredible janet look at all this work you're doing and for fun not just
13:04for fun it means a lot to me
13:10a couple years ago i lost my mom to a rare form of cancer there were barely any treatments available to her
13:17i was too advanced i've always been good at science and studying so i decided that i devote my life
13:27and all my free time to pursuing a career in cancer research my dream is to help people like my mom
13:35i'm so sorry about your mom i i can't believe you're doing all this for her that's so
13:43selfless well what's being inert if not used for good right my dream is to get into this prestigious
13:53research program when i graduate it's just so expensive bet if those mean girls knew what you
14:00were really doing studying all the time they'd understand i doubt it they make my life miserable just
14:07because i'm different just hate me i think what you're doing here is way cooler than anything

14:22can do thanks for listening to me babble about all my nerd stuff it's really nice to have a nerdy friend
