00:00I didn't have the grades to graduate, was accused of vandalism, saved someone from drowning,
00:09and got arrested.
00:10All in the same week.
00:11Oh, but before I get ahead of myself.
00:13Hi, I'm Maya from California.
00:15Please like and subscribe.
00:16Ever since I can remember, swimming was my happy place.
00:19When I was three, my love of all things aquatic got a little awkward from my parents, who
00:24had to keep pulling me out of mall fountains, bird paths, and koi ponds.
00:28Excuse me, adults, if you put those signs up and I'm too young to read them, do you
00:33see where I'm going with this?
00:34By the age of 13, the only job I ever dreamed about was becoming a lifeguard.
00:39Being around water, saving people, and hot guys in swimsuits.
00:42What's not to love, but on dry land, that's a whole different story.
00:46You see, I was not the greatest student, and my mortal enemy was math.
00:51Then my dad got a promotion, and we moved into an apartment in the city, and I had to start
00:56my senior year at a brand new school.
00:59Seriously, Dad, I had just spent the last year sucking up to all my teachers so they
01:03would grade me on a generous curve.
01:06Where's the respect for all my hard work?
01:08Life wasn't any different there.
01:10But like divine intervention, I looked up and saw my favorite four-letter word.
01:14Okay, seriously, you guys, I know at least half of you just thought of a word that would
01:18get you grounded if you said it out loud.
01:20I only planned to swim for a few minutes, but I was startled by a gorgeous boy.
01:25I said, what are you doing in my pool?
01:28Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was the school pool.
01:32School pool, that's funny, get it?
01:34Cause it rhymes.
01:35I get it, it's just not funny.
01:37And it's my pool, because my family paid for it.
01:41He pointed to the plaque on the wall with his family name, and under it a sign.
01:45I'm Sebastian Monroe III, and if I catch you in here again, I'll have you arrested.
01:51Arrested?
01:52That's a bit dramatic.
01:53Did you think I was going to pee in the pool or something?
01:56I'm Maya, by the way.
01:57I realized I was talking to myself because he had already left.
02:01He had the manners of a goat, and that's an insult to goats.
02:04I don't get it.
02:05Even if his family paid for the pool, it's still the school pool.
02:10I have to be on the swim team and prove to him that I'm better than him.
02:14I made the team, of course, and beating Sebastian's top score was just the icing on the cake.
02:20So I dominated any competition I was in.
02:23I figured Sebastian must have told one of his goon buddies to try to scare me for tearing it up on the swim team,
02:29because I noticed this nerdy looking guy lurking outside the school.
02:33I tried to approach him, but he was a tricky little thing and got away.
02:36Was Sebastian trying to have me stalked? Or disappeared?
02:40Okay, now I'm being dramatic.
02:42You guys ever feel like your mind plays tricks on you because you've watched too many crime movies?
02:47I walked back into school and saw something I did not expect.
02:50Sebastian was leaning against my locker, looking so handsome, but I kept my cool.
02:56Your team wins again. If I had known you were part mermaid, I might not have given you such a hard time.
03:02Oh, thank goodness. I was wondering how I would go on living without your approval.
03:07Now excuse me, I need to get to my locker.
03:09I'll only move if you agree to go out with me.
03:12It figures. The only way you could get a date is with blackmail.
03:16Okay, I deserved that. But I am trying to make up for being such a jerk to you. I really like you.
03:23And I was listening when you introduced yourself, Maya.
03:27He leaned in close to me, put his head on my shoulder and looked up at me.
03:31Look, I'm trying to be cute and vulnerable.
03:34You guys ever fall for that guy who makes you think,
03:37Sure, he's a bad boy, but he'll change for me.
03:40I guess even you deserve a second chance.
03:43Awesome. Where do you want to go?
03:45Hmm, I have this sudden craving for ice cream.
03:48He took me to an upscale dessert place and ordered one of everything.
03:52He was charming. And I was falling for him like an apple off an Isaac Newton's tree.
03:57Oh, hey, I guess I did learn something in class.
04:00I thought things are starting to look up.
04:03But what do they say about looking up?
04:05That's when you trip and face plant.
04:07Yep, I failed my second test.
04:10One more and I would get kicked off the swim team.
04:13I went to sweet talk the coach, but unfortunately he was allergic to my charm.
04:18Thankfully, my parents hired an amazing tutor, Lucy, who knew how to keep me awake.
04:23Unlike others who snored or were more interested in snacking.
04:27And before I knew it, I was doing better on my tests and even got a B+.
04:32And by the way, this Lucy is awesome.
04:35But unfortunately, the story isn't about her.
04:37But please know she's amazing.
04:39Maybe I should tell her story one day.
04:41Don't you agree, guys?
04:42Also to review, I was dating the hottest guy in school and crushing classes and the swim team.
04:48That nerdy guy was still popping up at school.
04:51And now that Sebastian and I were dating, I knew he wasn't behind it.
04:55So I asked him.
04:56Oh, he's probably smitten with you.
04:59Too bad you're taken.
05:00But I can't stop thinking about it.
05:02You just need a distraction.
05:04I'm serious, Sebastian.
05:05What if he's...
05:06He interrupted my rant with a kiss.
05:08If he's what?
05:09I was so charmed by his kiss that I forgot what I was saying.
05:13Uh, he who?
05:15Well played, Sebastian III.
05:17Well played.
05:18After school that day, I came home and there was a package at my front door.
05:22No return address, just my name on it.
05:24I was so excited.
05:25It must have been Sebastian surprising me with something wonderful.
05:29But when I opened it, the worst smell filled the room.
05:33It was a bag of poop.
05:35My parents called the police, but they said nothing could be done because there was no one
05:39to trace it back to.
05:41I made a list of people I thought it could be.
05:44Like...
05:45Like Amy, whom I told her boyfriend she had kissed someone else.
05:48And Tony, who I totally exposed his crush on our teacher.
05:51But that creepy nerdy guy was the number one suspect.
05:54I showed it to Sebastian the next day at school.
05:57Babe, I'm telling you.
05:58It's some girl at school that's jealous of you because you're dating me.
06:02Wow.
06:03Did the school give you an extra locker for that ego?
06:07It's not an ego if it's the truth.
06:09Don't worry.
06:10I'll protect you.
06:11Besides, I have a romantic date planned for us that will take your mind off of all this.
06:16I'll pick you up at your house at 7.
06:18I decided to focus on our date and get creepy nerd guy off my brain.
06:22I jumped in my closet for some great chimichus to go with my dress and started to wonder
06:27where Sebastian would take me.
06:29But he never showed.
06:30I called and texted.
06:32Nothing.
06:33I was really worried and rushed over to his house.
06:36When I showed up, there were police cars everywhere.
06:38And my heart sank like the Titanic thinking something had happened to Sebastian.
06:43Until I saw him standing next to his car.
06:45Sebastian!
06:46Oh, thank God you're okay.
06:48Then I noticed his car.
06:50Someone had spray painted Sebastian is a loser.
06:53He can't swim.
06:55My parents think you did this.
06:57All that misspelling?
06:58Well, that's just insulting.
06:59I'm bad at math, not English.
07:01If you're gonna try to frame someone, do your homework.
07:04Just as I was about to defend myself, his mom rushed toward me.
07:08Is this the monster who did this to my baby?
07:11Well, you're lucky there isn't enough evidence to arrest you or you would spend the rest of
07:15your life in jail.
07:16Your life in jail.
07:17Oh, Sebastian.
07:18Why do you insist on living that low lifestyle?
07:21I mean, does it even know about personal hygiene?
07:25She walked off in a huff and I was stunned and hurt.
07:28I went to Sebastian for comfort, but instead he yelled loud enough for his parents to hear.
07:33I don't care how cute you think it was.
07:36We're over.
07:37You know I would never do this.
07:39It must be that creepy guy.
07:41But he just walked away.
07:43What just happened?
07:44How could he not believe me?
07:46I ran away with tears in my eyes and spent the whole night eating half of the world's
07:50junk food.
07:51The next day at school, Sebastian met me with a big hug and a romantic kiss.
07:55Like everything was normal.
07:57How many personalities am I dating?
08:00Sorry about the show last night, babe.
08:02It was just to get my parents off my back.
08:04You know how parents are.
08:06We'll just have to keep our love a secret for a while and then I will fix everything.
08:10Trust me.
08:11But you were so mean to me and you let everyone believe I would do that.
08:15Well, yeah, of course.
08:17And I did it all for you.
08:19I didn't want my mom to get you kicked off the swim team.
08:22I was relieved.
08:23He really did care about me.
08:25I wasn't thrilled about the way he did it.
08:27But you know, boys aren't that bright and he probably did the best he could.
08:31Besides, what do you care about what my parents think?
08:34You have me.
08:35And that's all that matters.
08:37Let's just focus on the senior beach bash tonight and forget them.
08:40Well, I have been looking forward to this all year.
08:43So I'll meet you there.
08:44Once I arrived, I could hear music blasting and see a huge campfire.
08:48Sebastian was waiting at the gate for me.
08:51But I noticed there was a padlock at the entrance.
08:53Come this way.
08:54We have to go through the tear in the fence.
08:56I'm a little nervous about this.
08:58Are you sure we're not breaking the law?
09:00What's the big deal?
09:01Everyone else is already there.
09:03Besides, do you see any signs telling us to stay out?
09:06Well, against my better judgment, I agreed.
09:09We had fun and he danced around like a reject from America's Got Talent, but he was cute.
09:15Halfway through the night, Sebastian disappeared.
09:18I asked if anyone had seen him and someone said he went to get some pizzas.
09:21I was thinking how weird it was that he didn't tell me.
09:24Like, my boyfriend had ghosted me.
09:26I just wanted to go home.
09:28Suddenly, a guy screamed that some girl had fallen into the water and was sinking.
09:32I knew I could swim faster than I could run.
09:35Acting quickly, I tore off the bottom of my dress so it wouldn't weigh me down and dove in.
09:40It was cold, but all I kept thinking was that I had to save her.
09:43I reached her in minutes and swam her to shore.
09:46Her boyfriend thanked me a thousand times, and I could feel their love for each other as her boyfriend embraced her in turn.
09:52I was so tired that I laid down on the sand.
09:55My teeth were chattering when someone wrapped the jacket around my shoulders from behind.
09:59Are you okay?
10:00That was some pretty heroic stuff.
10:02It was the creepy nerdy guy.
10:04You!
10:05Why are you following me?
10:07Did you send me that poop?
10:08What are you even doing here?
10:10My interrogation was rudely interrupted by the police showing up and arresting everyone for trespassing.
10:17I knew sneaking through a hole in a fence was shady.
10:20When we were at the police station waiting for our parents, I saw that guy again.
10:24I ran up to confront him.
10:26I don't know what your weird fascination is with me, but I'm only gonna warn you once.
10:30Stay away!
10:31I understand you might think that, but I wasn't following you.
10:35I've been following your boyfriend Sebastian.
10:37Sebastian?
10:38Uh, you have a crush on Sebastian?
10:41No, but I was, in a way, stalking him.
10:44Did you notice that your boyfriend managed to disappear before the police came?
10:48I really wanted to argue with him, but he was right.
10:51Where the heck was Sebastian?
10:53I was released, but my parents were so disappointed.
10:56And worst of all, Sebastian was nowhere to be found.
10:59I even went to his house when I knew his parents were out, but he wasn't there either.
11:04But I saw that creepy guy again.
11:06Where is he?
11:07And what's the drama?
11:08Start explaining.
11:09Actually, I found out he's in hiding because he was the one who called the police.
11:14Then he showed me pictures on his phone of Sebastian making a call at the beach.
11:18Well, that doesn't prove anything, and you still haven't said why you were stalking him.
11:22I do freelance work for a tabloid magazine, and they pay big bucks for any dirt on Millionaire Playboys.
11:28Well, listen here, stalkerazzi.
11:30Albert.
11:31Fine.
11:32Albert.
11:33When Sebastian shows up, he will have an explanation for all of this.
11:36And what will his explanation be for taking down the No Trespassing signs at the beach?
11:40Sending you a box of poop?
11:42Or vandalizing his own car just to get a new car by making you feel bad?
11:46And did you know he also switched your test so you would fail?
11:49What are you talking about?
11:51He showed me everything.
11:53I was crushed.
11:54How could I have fallen for such an evil mastermind?
11:57I have all the photos saved of this USB to give to my editor tonight.
12:01Then, out of nowhere, Sebastian ripped the USB out of Albert's hand and swallowed it.
12:07And now it's my word against yours.
12:10I thought the next time I saw him I would run to his arms, but instead I slapped him.
12:15I pinned him against the wall, but Albert held me back before I could slap him again.
12:20You might be rich, but you could be outsmarted by a box of hair.
12:24You do know they are still on the cloud, right?
12:26I think I'm gonna be sick.
12:28Well, that's not how I wanted to get my USB back.
12:32You know, you've got some pretty strong arms under that nerdy exterior.
12:36Albert showed the pictures to the police, and Sebastian went to jail.
12:40It turns out Sebastian was just a spoiled brat who wanted to get even with me for bruising his ego.
12:46Apparently his friends laughed at him when I kicked his butt on the swim team.
12:50Get a life, dude.
12:52I'm sorry if I creeped you out with all the sneaking around.
12:54It was kinda weird, but I'm sorry I was quick to judge you.
12:58Thank you for coming to my rescue.
13:00He may not have been as good looking as Sebastian, but as I stared into his eyes, I could see he was so thoughtful and kind.
13:07And that was way more attractive.
13:09Yep, I think I'm gonna date this guy.
13:11But I have to end the story for now.
13:13Sorry, guys.
13:14Be careful who you call your boyfriends.
13:16That's my advice.
13:17See ya!
