00:00Hey there, my name is Tamara, and this is my best friend.
00:02Rachel!
00:03No, she was gonna say Monica.
00:05Um, and who are you?
00:07I'm Tamara's best friend, ever since you ditched her for the glitz and glam of New York.
00:11I didn't ditch anyone.
00:12I'm 16. I just go wherever my parents take me.
00:15It looks like they took you to a daycare center,
00:18because your outfit is something my four-year-old niece would wear.
00:21Sounds like a chic four-year-old.
00:22Now back off. I'm back in Tamara's life, and she doesn't need you anymore.
00:26Thanks for babysitting her while I was gone, but buh-bye now.
00:30Babysitting? Our friendship is way deeper than that.
00:33I mean, my face unlocks her phone.
00:35See?
00:35That's nothing. I know her bank password.
00:38Rachel Tamara Love 112. Top that.
00:40Don't yell it.
00:41I've got a mole she got removed last year in my necklace.
00:44Ew, what?
00:45That's nothing.
00:46I've got two of her baby teeth right here in my earrings.
00:48Okay, this is weird enough.
00:50There's room for all three of us in this story.
00:52No, there's not.
00:54And with that, the hair pulling started.
00:56While they're busy with that, I'll tell you the whole story of how this feud came to be.
01:00Growing up, I had an amazing but lonely life.
01:03My parents adopted me when they were pretty old,
01:05so they couldn't always keep up with the energy of a wannabe actress who was seven years old.
01:10Plus, I was an only child with no pets.
01:13So, I grew up lonelier than a penguin in the desert.
01:16All my performances were long monologues without an audience.
01:20Then, I became friends with my classmate Rachel, and everything changed.
01:24We'd experiment with makeup and ridiculous fashion, go swimming in the lake, and have spontaneous karaoke and dance sessions.
01:31She even practiced acting with me.
01:33I dreamed of being a Hollywood star, and she dreamed of designing my costumes and dresses.
01:38Rachel and I were inseparable, and I finally felt like a normal kid.
01:42But my world turned upside down on my 13th birthday, when Rachel's mom announced that her entire family was moving to New York City.
01:49Rachel threw a fit.
01:51You can't drag me away from Tamara.
01:53Yeah, and who's gonna French braid my hair and tell me that having mismatched socks isn't cute anymore?
01:59Rachel's mom's decision was final.
02:02And no matter how much we complained and cried, they left soon after.
02:05Our new lives away from each other were horrible.
02:08Rachel hated it there.
02:10She thought all New Yorkers were snobby and boring.
02:13For my part, I was all alone.
02:15Again.
02:15One day, while I was eating alone at lunch, wondering what exactly salami was, when this new girl Monica showed up.
02:21Why are you looking at your sandwich like that?
02:24I'm trying to figure out what salami is.
02:26I was doing the same thing with my bologna.
02:28Maybe we can get to the bottom of those mysteries together?
02:31Monica smiled and sat next to me, and just like that, we were fast friends.
02:36As I got to know her, I learned that she was really shy and was also an only child like me.
02:41We soon became inseparable too.
02:43Rachel and I still talked on the phone, but apparently, she was getting used to her new life in the city.
02:48I accidentally stepped on a rat in the subway and then fell, and the cutest guy came and helped me up.
02:53And now we're in a band together.
02:55I think I'm in love.
02:56Wait, you slipped on a rat?
02:57From then on, it was like she didn't need me anymore.
03:00And we started drifting away.
03:02Then, three years later, while Monica and I were crying over our new favorite tween drama, Summer Wishes,
03:08Rachel called me sobbing because her boyfriend dumped her.
03:11Everyone here is horrible.
03:14I just want to come back to Arizona.
03:17I ended up speaking to Rachel for an hour to calm her down, and Monica felt left out.
03:22That's when their rivalry began.
03:24It got even worse when Rachel's aunt and uncle let her move in with them back in Arizona.
03:29Of course, I was so happy she had returned home.
03:32But Monica, not so much.
03:34They just couldn't stand each other.
03:36Monica thought Rachel was a snob who made her feel small, while Rachel used to say that Monica was obsessed with me because she was insecure and had no other friends.
03:45Of course, I was always in the middle of their fights, sometimes literally.
03:50I needed them to get along for the sake of my mental health.
03:53So once, in the middle of one of their crazy fights, I had a lightbulb moment and burst out.
03:58Stop!
03:59I can't take this anymore.
04:00I'm sick.
04:01Sick?
04:02Yeah, like really sick.
04:04Are you okay?
04:05Is it serious?
04:06Just like a pro actress, I started to improvise, even shedding a tear or two.
04:10I have a really strange skin condition.
04:12Normally, with a lot of makeup and skin creams, I manage to hide it.
04:16But when stress hits, it goes into full-out freak mode.
04:20So, unless you want me to transform into a human blowfish, can you two stop fighting all the time?
04:26Oh my god, I didn't have any idea.
04:29What is the name of your condition?
04:31Um, stress-zilla skin syndrome?
04:33Why didn't you tell us before?
04:35It's a weird thing to have.
04:37I didn't want to be left out because of it.
04:39Then, I turned on the waterworks.
04:41We'll never do that.
04:42We love you no matter what.
04:44She's right, and we'll stop fighting, we swear.
04:46They both hugged me, crying too.
04:48I want to thank the Academy.
04:51Surprisingly, my crazy lie actually worked like a charm.
04:55Despite hating each other, Monica and Rachel put my condition first and stopped fighting.
05:00They were even compromising.
05:02Can you please cover your mouth when you sneeze?
05:05Only if you stop chewing with your mouth open.
05:07Deal.
05:07Those months were awesome.
05:09Monica and Rachel got used to each other, and I used my lie to improve my adding skills.
05:14I was like Meryl Streep caught in my character.
05:16While a part of me felt horrible for having stretched the lie so far, my friends were so
05:21nice and went out of their way to take such good care of me that it was hard telling them
05:25the truth.
05:26Still, soon after, my lie was exposed.
05:29Oh, I went to see my dermatologist yesterday, and he told me there's no such thing as stress-zilla
05:35skin syndrome.
05:36Uh-oh.
05:37And all those fancy and super special creams you put on are just regular moisturizers and
05:41sunscreen.
05:42We know now.
05:43Wait, I can explain.
05:44I just said all that so you would stop fighting and be friends over your love for me.
05:49I mean, I can't believe you lied to us all this time.
05:52You just did it for attention.
05:54You had us waiting on you hand and foot.
05:55Yeah, it's kind of disgusting that you made up a disease to manipulate us.
05:59This is very upsetting.
06:01I need to go shopping to deal.
06:02I'll join you.
06:03And with that, the two of them left me behind.
06:06I felt really embarrassed and sad.
06:08They were right.
06:09I cried myself to sleep.
06:10But the next day, I tried to make things work again.
06:13Monica and Rachel were in the hallway, laughing and joking.
06:16Maybe I could convince them that I wasn't so wrong.
06:19After all, my little eye brought them together.
06:22Hey guys.
06:22Cute outfits.
06:23But they just ignored me and walked down the hallway towards Trevor, the it boy of the school.
06:28Every girl in our class, including Monica and Rachel, was crazy about him.
06:33I wasn't at all.
06:34In fact, he was my archenemy.
06:36Because just like me, he wanted to make it in Hollywood.
06:39We always fought for the lead roles in school plays.
06:42He was really good looking, but really dumb and not as talented as me.
06:46So he kind of resented me.
06:47That's why, when he saw the opportunity, he made a move to steal my friends from me.
06:52You girls are looking super stylish.
06:54Rachel has great taste.
06:55New York must have rubbed off on her.
06:57Aw, stop.
06:58You're the one with the amazing fashion sense.
07:00Suddenly, the two of them were BFFs and they had completely forgotten about me.
07:05I felt so rejected and alone.
07:07One day, I heard Monica, Rachel, and Trevor mention my name in gym class.
07:11I hid behind the wall, eavesdropping.
07:13She is so pathetic.
07:16Yeah, no one likes her.
07:17She can't even act.
07:18I'm way better.
07:19Totally.
07:20Way better.
07:21I couldn't believe they were laughing at me.
07:24And whenever I walked past the trio, I was ignored.
07:26I wasn't only sad anymore, I was also really pissed.
07:30And I wanted my friends back.
07:32At lunch, I watched Trevor gulping down a Slurpee.
07:35His love for that sugary drink seemed like the perfect revenge.
07:39The next day in class, I spied on Trevor's phone passcode.
07:42I asked him if he wanted to finish my Slurpee.
07:4420 minutes later, he was running desperately to the bathroom.
07:48Yeah.
07:48I slipped in a laxative.
07:50I unlocked his phone and got to work.
07:52Rachel, can't stop thinking about you.
07:54Meet me at the bleachers after school.
07:56Monica, you're running laps around my mind.
07:58Meet me at the bleachers after school.
08:00I spied on them after school.
08:02Monica and Rachel showed up at the bleachers, but not Trevor.
08:05Monica, what are you doing here looking so cute?
08:08Trevor asked me on a date.
08:09What are you doing here looking like a queen?
08:12Trevor asked me on a date too.
08:14What the?
08:14And then Trevor showed up looking so embarrassed.
08:18Before Monica and Rachel could lunge at him, he jumped to his defense.
08:22I didn't send those texts.
08:23Someone hacked into my phone.
08:25Who?
08:25Uh-oh.
08:26I tried to slip away, but luck was not on my side.
08:29A strong breeze blew my hat off my head, and it landed right by the furious trio.
08:34They spotted me.
08:35Tamara?
08:36Yeah?
08:37What?
08:37Okay, fine.
08:38I did it.
08:38But how could you guys just replace me with this loser?
08:41You know I hate him.
08:42He's my nemesis.
08:43What?
08:44You don't care about us.
08:45You're just angry that you aren't the center of attention anymore.
08:48You are the ones who can't stop talking about me.
08:50Like in gym class, she's so pathetic.
08:53No one likes her.
08:54I heard it all.
08:55Monica and Rachel looked at each other confused.
08:58Oh, you overheard us talking about Tamika from our favorite reality show, Cheaters and Liars.
09:03Wait, you thought we were talking about you?
09:06You may not have stress zilla skin syndrome, but you do have a disease, main character syndrome.
09:11You're totally right.
09:12Then I got super furious.
09:14Maybe because I knew they were right about me.
09:17Yeah?
09:18I may have main character syndrome, but what about you two?
09:21You don't even really like each other.
09:23Yes, we do.
09:24We're friends.
09:25Oh, is that right?
09:26So you didn't say that Rachel was a snob who thinks she's better than everyone, but is really a drama queen with a superiority complex?
09:33What?
09:34You said that?
09:35I...
09:35Oh, don't play innocent now.
09:37You're the one who compared being friends with Monica to doing charity work.
09:40Like helping out the less fortunate.
09:42I did, but...
09:43Oh, nice to know how you really feel.
09:45Tamara was right about you.
09:46You were just a judgy and entitled brat.
09:49Said what?
09:50You know what?
09:50I don't need you guys.
09:52Glad we agree on that.
09:53Friendship's over.
09:54Monica and Rachel stormed off in different directions, and I realized I'd just made things much worse and lost my friends forever.
10:01We graduated high school a few months later, without patching things up, and all went our own ways.
10:07I moved to LA to be an actor.
10:09I still missed Rachel and Monica a lot.
10:11Maybe that's why I didn't even make new friends, because I was afraid I'd blow it with them too.
10:16So, I focused completely on my career.
10:19At first, it was tough.
10:20But then, things started to look up.
10:22When I turned 19, I got my first movie.
10:25Okay, it was a very small role, but still, I was so excited.
10:29But just before the shooting started, I got a call from Monica.
10:32Rachel is really sick.
10:34Trevor told me.
10:34They started dating after high school, but now, she's in the hospital.
10:38It's serious.
10:39I immediately burst into tears.
10:41I felt horrible.
10:42I lied about having a condition, and she actually got sick, and I wasn't there for her.
10:47Well, not anymore.
10:48I left LA immediately to visit Rachel in the hospital, but I got there.
10:52Monica was by her bedside.
10:53We three looked at each other, and didn't even need to say sorry or anything.
10:57We just hugged, as if we'd been together all that time.
11:00And then, Rachel told us about her situation.
11:03I need a new kidney, urgently.
11:05Trevor was a match, and he agreed.
11:06But then, he got cold feet and dumped me.
11:08Forget that jerk.
11:09You have us.
11:10Always.
11:11I wanted to donate my kidney to Rachel, but sadly, I wasn't a match.
11:15Neither was Monica.
11:16We were both devastated.
11:17It's okay.
11:18You tried.
11:19That's all that matters.
11:20Just do me a favor, and delete all my embarrassing photos off social media after I'm...
11:24No!
11:25Don't even say it!
11:26We're not letting you go anywhere!
11:28Not a chance.
11:29This is not over.
11:30Monica and I started an online campaign to find a donor, but we couldn't find another
11:34match for her.
11:35There was only one way out.
11:37I went to see Trevor and offered him my dream.
11:40I talked with the producers of the film.
11:42I resigned and convinced them that you can play the part.
11:44It's just the part of a waiter, so I guess you can do it.
11:47Trevor liked my offer, but still hesitated.
11:50I don't know.
11:51My kidney is worth way more than a small part.
11:53I want to play superheroes and things like that.
11:55I did my best not to break his face.
11:58Maybe this is your big break.
12:00I mean, when the producers see you, they'll be like, that's a rough in the diamond.
12:04I mean, a diamond in the rough.
12:06Hmm.
12:07Okay, I'll do it.
12:08I let out a joyful cry and hugged him tight.
12:11Careful!
12:11Don't want to damage my kidney.
12:12I made him swear not to tell Rachel and Monica that he was giving his kidney in exchange for
12:17a movie role.
12:18I let them think he just changed his own mind, because I realized that I didn't need to make
12:23this about myself and be the main character.
12:25I just had to support my friend.
12:27The surgery was a success, and a few months later, Rachel made a full recovery.
12:31The day she stepped out of the hospital was the best day of our lives.
12:35Today, I'm still acting, waiting for my big break.
12:38Luckily, when the time comes, I'll be ready, because I have like a hundred dresses for the
12:43red carpet from Rachel and Monica's super successful clothing line, Frenemy Fashions.
12:48So, this is my story.
12:49I mean, our story.
12:51I hope you love it as much as we do.
12:52Till next time, keep spreading the love.
12:54We'll see you next time.
