00:00The music was pumping, everyone was dancing, and then suddenly, chaos.
00:08People were pushing and shoving, trying to make their way towards the exits.
00:12We have to head out immediately.
00:13Milo, wait, there's...
00:14There's no time.
00:15We need to go.
00:16Now.
00:17That was my prom night.
00:18It was a disaster, and it was all my fault.
00:21Hey, everyone.
00:22It's Jenna.
00:22If you want to hear about my crazy story, make sure to hit that like and subscribe button.
00:26I grew up in a small town in the Midwest, where life was slow and predictable.
00:31But I've always been the kind of person who likes to push boundaries and have a little fun.
00:35My parents were pretty strict when it came to homework and other boring stuff.
00:39Well, all I wanted to do was explore the world and play outdoors with the boys.
00:43And it paid off when I got a cute teddy bear as a gift from Milo, my crush.
00:47I love that bear more than anything in the world.
00:50But eventually, Milo and I grew apart.
00:52He wanted to play video games with the boys, while I still wanted to swim in rivers and explore nearby caves.
00:57But I had teddy, my partner in crime.
01:00Even my parents had to get special permission for me to bring my teddy to class, or else I throw a major tantrum.
01:06Life was amazing.
01:07But things changed when Trouble, I mean, Layla, stepped into my second grade class.
01:12Look at her.
01:13She's still carrying a teddy bear like a baby.
01:16Did you forget your pacifier?
01:17I kept my cool, but once she even went as far as cleaning the whiteboard with my teddy.
01:22After that, I decided to put it away.
01:24I never told my parents what happened with Layla.
01:27In fact, they were happy I wasn't obsessed with my teddy anymore.
01:30All they cared about was how good my grades were.
01:33You failed yet another exam.
01:35But mom, I was studying really hard.
01:37I guess the teacher doesn't like me.
01:39Maybe I should have gotten her a birthday present.
01:41Come on, be responsible, Jenna.
01:43I wanted to prove to mom and dad that I could be responsible.
01:46So I decided to please them with a bunch of chores while they were away at work.
01:50I started with attempting dishes, then vacuuming the living room.
01:53But I was left with broken plates and tangled curtains.
01:56Talk about a productive day.
01:57Ah, it's okay, Jenna.
01:59You still have a chance to prove yourself?
02:01Let's open the books now.
02:02Time to prove yourself.
02:03Oh, oh no!
02:05Panicked.
02:05I scrambled to clean up before my parents got home.
02:08But just then, I heard the screeching of car tires outside.
02:11My heart dropped as I realized they had come home early and would see the mess I'd made.
02:15As they walked in, I quickly pretended to be studying.
02:18How many bones does the human body have?
02:21Mmm, zero.
02:23Is the earth flat?
02:24Duh, if it was round, people living on the other side would fall off.
02:28I turned around to see my parents staring at me in disbelief.
02:31I tried to pretend like I hadn't noticed them coming in.
02:33Hey!
02:34Mom!
02:34Dad!
02:35You're home early.
02:36What happened here?
02:37I was trying to do...
02:38But today's been a really bad day.
02:40But like you said, it's all part of life.
02:43Unbelievable.
02:44Jenna!
02:44I just wanted to have fun.
02:46And my teenage years were wild with my inseparable twin troublemakers, Sarah and Samantha.
02:51They were the ones who introduced me to the world of sneaking out and partying.
02:55Looking back, I realized how silly it all was.
02:57Like when we decided to skip school and try having a DIY spa day.
03:01They wanted to do it at my house.
03:02But I knew the wrath of my parents and how strict they were.
03:06Trust me, my parents can sniff out trouble from a mile away.
03:09We'll be safer at your house.
03:10We tried a homemade oatmeal and honey face mask, but it turned out to be a sticky disaster.
03:15We looked like we were attacked by a swarm of bees and spent hours cleaning up.
03:19It was not the relaxing spa day we had hoped for.
03:22Little did we know, that lesson would come in handy sooner than expected.
03:25And the next day, we decided to have a bonfire party in their backyard.
03:29But the flames quickly got out of control.
03:31After trying water and dirt, we had an unexpected solution.
03:35A bag of oatmeal.
03:36It was strange, but it worked.
03:37As we stood there, covered in ash and oatmeal, we couldn't help but laugh.
03:41But the twins' parents didn't laugh at all.
03:44Especially given that their rose garden caught on fire.
03:46I was devastated when their parents called mine.
03:49And even more so, when they forbade me from ever seeing my friends again.
03:52The fact that their father was a lawyer and threatened to sue my parents because I damaged their property
03:57only added to the seriousness of the situation.
04:00It was as if my world had been turned upside down.
04:03You were supposed to be in school.
04:04Is this the first time you're sneaking out like this?
04:07Um, unbelievable.
04:08We are so disappointed, Jenna.
04:10Can I go back to my room?
04:11You are grounded until further notice.
04:14What about prom?
04:15We'll see about that.
04:15Only if you behave well.
04:17Prom was only a few weeks away.
04:19And I had been dreaming about it for years.
04:21From now on, I had to be on my best behavior.
04:24In the days that followed, I tried to make amends by texting Sarah and Samantha.
04:28But I never received a response.
04:29I couldn't help but wonder if they had blocked me.
04:32I knew that they had moved to another country shortly after the incident.
04:35And I wondered if they held me responsible.
04:37I was heartbroken.
04:38I missed the twins terribly.
04:40But when I saw Milo, my childhood crush in the school's hallway,
04:43I went to talk to him.
04:44Hoping we could hang out like we used to.
04:46But he was busy with the boys.
04:48Meanwhile, my nemesis, Layla, was getting asked to prom by five different guys.
04:53Each trying to outdo each other.
04:54I couldn't help but roll my eyes at how cheesy they were being.
04:58Layla seemed to be enjoying all the attention.
05:00But I couldn't help but feel bad for the guys.
05:02It was like they were all competing for her affection.
05:04And it was obvious that she had no interest in them.
05:07That's not nice.
05:08Oh, look who it is.
05:09The girl who never gets asked to prom.
05:11Of course, Layla was still the same brat she was when we were kids.
05:15But she was right.
05:16I was still dateless and feeling pretty hopeless.
05:19One day, in combined class, I was scribbling notes in my notebook when my phone popped up
05:24with Milo's name.
05:25My heart skipped a beat.
05:26Was he asking me to prom?
05:28I tried to act cool, but my hands were shaking.
05:31I couldn't believe it.
05:32Milo, my forever crush, was asking me to prom.
05:35But as I opened the message, it wasn't the love declaration I was hoping for.
05:39Instead, it read,
05:40Can you pass me a pencil?
05:41Aha!
05:41Silly me!
05:42And to make matters worse, I accidentally passed him a pen instead of a pencil.
05:46Smooth move, Jenna.
05:48Yeah, real smooth.
05:49But my embarrassment didn't end there.
05:51Just as I was daydreaming about my prom night with Milo.
05:55Him looking fabulous in a bold red suit and tie.
05:58Him making me dance, like in a fairy tale.
06:01Hold me close and never let me go, Milo.
06:03Aha!
06:04You do realize you're drooling, right?
06:07It's sad that you can only have him in your dreams.
06:10Oh, I was just practicing my drooling for when I see you in that dress you've been talking
06:14about.
06:14You know, the one that's always out of stock.
06:16Is it because everyone wants to look like a glittery potato sack?
06:19Layla scowled at me and didn't say anything for the rest of class.
06:22I thought that would be the end of it.
06:24But the next day, the principal called me into his office.
06:27Apparently, Layla had told him that I had started a rumor about her and spread it all
06:31around school.
06:32And my parents were called.
06:34That's it.
06:34No prom for you.
06:35What?
06:36That's not fair.
06:37We warned you, Jenna.
06:38Only if you behaved well.
06:40And you didn't.
06:41Once again.
06:42I was devastated.
06:43The next day at school, I heard someone calling my name.
06:46I turned around to see Milo running toward me.
06:48A big smile on his face.
06:50Hey, Jenna.
06:51Wait up.
06:51Thanks for the pen.
06:52What?
06:52Pen?
06:52Oh, yeah.
06:53Sure.
06:54No problem.
06:55So, I heard you got into a fight with Layla because of me?
06:58Of course she told him.
06:59I should have known she'd blabber about it to everyone.
07:02Hey, um, do you want to go to prom with me?
07:04Was this really happening?
07:06I tried to play it cool, but I couldn't help myself.
07:08Yes!
07:09A million times yes!
07:10I'm so excited!
07:11But suddenly, I felt something warm.
07:14Um, you okay?
07:15Hey!
07:16Can you quickly take off your shirt?
07:17My shirt?
07:18Why?
07:19Wearing your boyfriend's shirt is the latest fashion trend.
07:22And I just want to be trendy, you know?
07:24To my relief, Milo smiled at me without asking further questions.
07:27Yes.
07:28I had just peed a little in excitement in front of my crush.
07:31I definitely felt embarrassed.
07:33But I didn't care.
07:34I was going to prom with Milo, and nothing could bring me down.
07:38I spent the rest of the day in a haze, trying to come up with a plan.
07:41Since I wasn't allowed to go to prom, I couldn't ask mom to take me shopping for my dress.
07:45So, I snuck into my mom's closet and searched through her old dresses until I found one.
07:50It was a multicolored dress from the 80s.
07:52I loved it.
07:53I hurried out of the house through my bedroom window so my parents wouldn't see me.
07:56It was supposed to be the night of my dreams.
07:59But as they say, life doesn't always go according to plan.
08:02And boy, was that an understatement for what happened on my prom night.
08:06It all started when Milo showed up wearing a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and flip-flops.
08:11And he wasn't driving a limo.
08:13He was picking me up with his bike.
08:15I couldn't believe it.
08:16I tried to hide my disappointment, but I knew it was written all over my face.
08:20Are you okay?
08:21Yeah, I'm fine.
08:22As soon as we arrived at the ballroom, my dress got caught in the bike wheel and ripped apart.
08:26Oh no, mom's gonna kill me.
08:29Milo quickly ran to a classroom to find a stapler and stapled my dress back together.
08:33But he made it look like a patchwork quilt.
08:35We walked into the ballroom and everyone was looking at my dress.
08:39I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
08:41I went to grab my lipstick, ready to dance the night away.
08:44When I felt something soft and furry inside my bag,
08:47something I hadn't felt in years and definitely hadn't brought with me,
08:50I looked down to see my childhood teddy.
08:53OMG, I carried the wrong bag.
08:55I quickly tried to hide him, but it was too late.
08:58Everyone had already noticed and were laughing hysterically.
09:01I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
09:03It was just like being seven all over again.
09:06Just then, Layla passed by me with her group of friends.
09:09Aw, little Jenna never grew up.
09:11What a baby.
09:13You kept Teddy all these years?
09:14It almost looked like he was about to cry when ring!
09:18My phone started ringing.
09:19Oh no, she's gonna kill me.
09:21Jenna, where are you?
09:23Your dad just went to kiss you goodnight and found your bed empty!
09:26As my mom continued her lecture over the phone,
09:29I felt suffocated and just as she was about to launch into another tirade,
09:33something outside the window caught my eye.
09:35A man, dressed in all black and carrying a flashlight,
09:38was sneaking into one of the nearby houses.
09:40Oh my god, someone's being burgled!
09:42Is this another one of your...
09:43I immediately sprang into action.
09:45There was an emergency exit-only door nearby,
09:47and without thinking twice, I ran through it.
09:49Little did I know that the loud alarm would go off,
09:52causing the entire school to panic.
09:54We have to head out immediately.
09:56Milo, wait!
09:57There's a...
09:57There's no time.
09:58We need to go.
09:59Now.
09:59He was right.
10:00There was no time.
10:01As Milo gathered around with all the students outside,
10:04I chased after the burglar, shouting for help.
10:06Soon enough, other people joined in the chase,
10:08and together, we were able to get him and call the police.
10:11As we were waiting for the police to arrive,
10:13I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
10:15I was relieved that no one had been hurt,
10:17and that the burglar had been caught,
10:19but I knew my actions had just caused prom to be cancelled.
10:22So, you kept Teddy all these years?
10:24I did.
10:25You forgot me, but I never forgot you.
10:27My bad.
10:28I missed you, Jenna.
10:29And I'm feeling blessed now.
10:31I wish we could slow dance.
10:32I can't believe prom is cancelled.
10:34And I can't believe you saved my family from a burglar.
10:37What?
10:38That was your house?
10:39Yes.
10:40I owe you one, Jenna.
10:41Thank you so much.
10:42You are a gem of a person.
10:44Does this mean we're not enemies anymore?
10:47I guess so.
10:48When Milo dropped me off at home,
10:49I felt nervous about facing my parents.
10:52I knew they were going to be mad at me for sneaking out to prom.
10:55Mom?
10:55Dad?
10:56I'm so sorry for everything.
10:57You were right.
10:58Is this my dress?
11:00Um, so, funny story.
11:02Just as my mom was oiling up like a tea kettle,
11:05Milo intervened.
11:06He told my parents how I'd saved Layla's house.
11:09They might not have believed him,
11:10but then my principal called my parents and told them everything.
11:14My parents were shocked,
11:15but for the first time,
11:16I also saw how proud they were of me.
11:18It wasn't easy,
11:19but they eventually forgave me for my mistakes.
11:22I promise,
11:23I'm going to be more responsible and more careful from now on.
11:26But just as I was about to bask in my newfound maturity...
11:29I'm sorry, Mom.
11:30But don't worry.
11:31I'll fix it.
11:32Oh, please, let it be.
11:34I can handle it.
11:35Just bubble wrap yourself and sit in the corner.
