00:00I was on my way back to the sorority house after a party when I saw it, and it left my blood boiling.
00:05The entire place was covered in toilet paper, and the inside was turned upside down.
00:11It was like a tornado flew in and destroyed everything in its path.
00:14On the living room wall were the spray-painted words,
00:17Happy Halloween Princess.
00:19I knew exactly who my culprit was.
00:21Stupid Fred Boys, you are all dead meat.
00:24Hey, I'm Ru from New York, and my life was pretty great
00:27until I decided to take my revenge on the frat boys on campus.
00:31Like and subscribe so I can tell you how a simple plan turned into something I could never have imagined.
00:36And trust me, it's not what you think.
00:38My dad was very successful, so some people called me spoiled,
00:42but it's not wrong to have everything you want if you deserve it, right?
00:46The frat boys hate us. Well, me most of all.
00:48I mean, is it really my fault that I'm one of the richest and most popular girls in school?
00:53Every time I walk by, they have to say something.
00:55Hey, princess, didn't bring your carriage to university?
00:59You weren't there to pull it, so I got my brand new, one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce.
01:03See? Makes your car look like a wagon.
01:05We always got on each other's nerves.
01:07When I saw what they did to our sorority house, I knew I would get revenge.
01:11One night, I sneaked into the frat house when none of them were there,
01:14blocked the drains in the sinks in the showers, and opened up all the taps in the house.
01:18Try going to swim practice in your own house, boys.
01:20I left the water gushing and ran out.
01:24That's when I bumped into someone, a security guard.
01:26What are you doing here after dark?
01:28Oh, I just had to drop something off.
01:30But I was cut off when the windows broke open and all the water rushed out like a dam.
01:34Oy vey.
01:36I was immediately taken to the dean's office and suspended for a week.
01:40Fine with me. I'll take the vacation.
01:41But then, as a punishment for destroying university property,
01:44I had to go and serve food at the community center.
01:47I tried to get my dad to help and get me out of it, but he was too busy.
01:51So, I had to go.
01:53I had never been to that side of town, and I was terrified.
01:56It was dark and dingy, and everyone stared at me.
01:59I quickly ran to the building, and after introducing myself,
02:02I was led to the kitchen at the back to wash dishes.
02:05Um, I'm sorry, but I've never washed dishes in my life.
02:08I don't know how.
02:09I have faith in you. Here, don't want to stain your pretty dress.
02:12My birthday is next Friday.
02:13I won't be stuck here doing dishes and get all smelly, am I?
02:16Is there something else I can do? Like counting money?
02:18I'm really good at that.
02:19There's no money to count here.
02:21No money? Then why does this place even exist?
02:24Never mind. Look, you want to leave as soon as possible, right?
02:26The best way to do that is to start washing dishes.
02:29Go ahead.
02:29I'll watch and make sure you're doing it right.
02:31It wasn't like I had a choice, so I picked up a spoon and-
02:34Wait.
02:35I got drenched!
02:36OMG! You said this was supposed to be easy!
02:39It usually is.
02:41You know, it's not nice to laugh at someone's misery.
02:44True, but you gotta admit, it was pretty funny.
02:47Why are you here?
02:48Just to help out.
02:48No, I mean, what did you do to get sent here?
02:51I played this totally awesome prank on the frat boys, but got busted.
02:55What did you do?
02:56Oh, I didn't do anything.
02:57I just have free time when I'm not working, so I come here to give an extra hand.
03:01Wait, you do this on purpose?
03:03On your day off? For free?
03:04Just turn the spoon down, that way it doesn't soak you.
03:07And you should wear sweats, not dresses.
03:10Put your headphones in. Enjoy. You'll get it. See you tomorrow.
03:12Okay, bye.
03:13Wait, what's your name?
03:14Andrew.
03:15And then he left.
03:16I did my best at washing dishes while listening to music, and actually, it wasn't so bad.
03:20And I did a pretty good job. I was kind of proud of myself.
03:23The next few days went by in a blur.
03:25Whenever I got bored, I took pictures and videos for my gram.
03:28Hashtag, I work hard. Hashtag, never quit.
03:31One day, I was knocked over by a clumsy older woman.
03:34Suddenly, I was covered in gross food gunk.
03:36Ugh, what have you done?
03:38These are Jimmy Choo's. It's one of a kind.
03:41Do you even know how much they cost?
03:43I'm sorry, dear. My eyesight is not very good.
03:45Don't worry, Mrs. Peters. It was an accident. She's fine.
03:48Let me help you to your seat.
03:49I suddenly felt all eyes on me.
03:51Even Andrew looked disappointed.
03:53My cheeks got red. My face super hot.
03:55I never felt like this before.
03:57I quickly ran out and hid in a back corner of the kitchen.
04:00That's when a small hand tapped my hand.
04:02It's just a little curry.
04:03You can wash it off, and your shoes will look brand new.
04:06These are expensive.
04:07The color, you won't understand.
04:09Are you one of the people we serve?
04:11Where are your parents?
04:12No, I'm Joey.
04:13Mommy's busy at work, and Drew's my neighbor.
04:15He brings me here to make sure I'm not alone,
04:17so my mom doesn't need to pay for a babysitter.
04:19He asked me to check on you and make sure you're okay.
04:21He did?
04:22I can't believe I just yelled at that old lady.
04:24Why does he even care how I feel?
04:26I don't know.
04:26I don't think I belong here.
04:28He told me you're a rich girl.
04:29You're only here because you got in trouble.
04:31I couldn't be mad.
04:32It was true.
04:33But he downed.
04:33For some reason, it hurt.
04:35That's what he thought of me?
04:36I guess the question was, why did he even care what Andrew thought of me?
04:40At the end of the day, I decided to talk to him.
04:42Andrew, I'm really sorry.
04:43Look, Ru, it's one thing to not want to do dishes, but these people need help.
04:47You come to work parading your diamond earrings in front of people who can't even afford to
04:51eat.
04:51I asked you not to dress like that.
04:53I did stop dressing up, and not that you need to know, but these are my mother's.
04:57She lives far away, and this is the only way I can have her with me all the time.
05:02I was so upset, I rushed out before he could respond.
05:05I couldn't understand why I was getting so worked up.
05:08I barely knew him.
05:09I don't think I had a crush.
05:10I don't know what it was.
05:12That night, instead of scrolling on my phone or shopping, I went to the storeroom and looked
05:16at the old pictures of my mom that my dad had put away.
05:19I found some old videos my mom had made of us.
05:21I loved watching how mom and dad both cared for me.
05:24I didn't know when, but I fell asleep on the floor.
05:27I woke up to the sound of the wind.
05:28There was a huge storm outside overnight.
05:30My phone was lit up with hurricane warnings.
05:33The next day, it took over an hour to get to the community center because of all the
05:37trees on the street.
05:38The minute I got there, my jaw dropped.
05:40There were more than a hundred people there, wrapped in blankets, and some of them were
05:44even crying.
05:45It was chaos.
05:46Where the heck have you been?
05:47We need all the help we can get.
05:49What's going on?
05:50Why are there so many people-
05:51The hurricane destroyed or damaged some houses.
05:54All these people have nowhere else to go right now.
05:56They really need our help today.
05:58Okay.
05:58What do you need?
05:59I'll show you.
06:00And I'm sorry about what I said about your earrings.
06:03Oh, thanks.
06:04I'm sorry too.
06:05Okay.
06:05Let's get to work.
06:06Again, I wasn't sure why it felt so good that he apologized and things were okay between
06:11us.
06:11But there was no time to think about it.
06:13I focused on trying to help the people around me.
06:15Most of them were older people and children.
06:17I ran around with the other volunteers and served hot food and drinks, gave blankets and
06:22dry clothes for them to change into.
06:23I was giving a cup of soup to an old lady when Joey tugged on my shirt.
06:27Joey, did something happen to your house too?
06:29Yeah.
06:30The storm hurt it.
06:31More and more people kept coming.
06:33The food trucks can't get here because of the storm.
06:35We're gonna run out of food and space.
06:37I looked around at the crowd and felt my heart breaking.
06:40I knew I had to do something to help.
06:42So I decided to take all of them home.
06:44I had more than enough space and so much food.
06:47It would only be for a couple of days.
06:48Dad will be proud of me for helping.
06:50At home, with the help of all the volunteers, I was finally able to make everyone feel safe
06:55and warm.
06:56But that didn't last long because when Dad came storming in, he looked pissed.
07:00What is going on here?
07:02I immediately took him into his office to explain.
07:04After I told him everything, I thought he would be happy.
07:07What is wrong with you?
07:08I want them out of my house.
07:09Now, I don't care where they go, but they can't stay here.
07:12Are you for real?
07:13These people need help.
07:14If Mom was here, she'd help.
07:16This isn't a shelter.
07:17Get them out.
07:18Fine.
07:18Have it your way.
07:19I'll take them to a hotel.
07:20Well, I'm not paying a single penny.
07:22You don't have to.
07:23I've been saving my money so I could go on a trip to Paris with a sorority when we graduate.
07:27You're going to give away all your money to these people you don't even know?
07:30I'll save my monthly allowance.
07:32That's money for you, not strangers.
07:34There will be no more allowances if this is how you're going to spend it.
07:37What about graduation?
07:38You said you'd help me.
07:40You know how much going there means to me.
07:42Not if you give all your money away.
07:44I couldn't believe how cold-hearted he had become.
07:46All I wanted to do was get out of there.
07:48So I arranged for all the people to travel to a hotel close by, hiring two buses.
07:53I sat in the back where Andrew joined me.
07:55I overheard the argument with your dad.
07:57I was trying to find the bathroom and got lost.
07:59Your house is really confusing.
08:01I'm sorry things got so bad between you two.
08:03I can't believe he changed so much.
08:06I guess that's what you must think of all rich people.
08:08Joey told me that's what you call me.
08:10I shouldn't have judged you.
08:11You're going out of your way to help these people you don't even know with your own money.
08:15Sorry about your Paris trip.
08:16That sounded like it would have been fun.
08:18The other girls wanted to go for fun, but for me, never mind.
08:21It's okay.
08:22This is more important.
08:23We finally arrived at the hotel, and I went straight to the manager and spoke to him.
08:27He was more than willing to help, but he informed me that he had limited rooms left
08:31and that the money I had wouldn't be enough to cover an entire week of their stay in food.
08:35He needed to pay his staff.
08:37My mind went blank.
08:39What should I do now?
08:40I tried not to freak out in front of everyone who was looking at me for answers.
08:44And then I saw the mirror, and I saw my diamond earrings.
08:47My mom's earrings.
08:48Here, will this do?
08:49Please?
08:50My puppy dog eyes worked because he agreed.
08:53All of these people finally had a place to stay, warm and safe, for a while, till we
08:58figured something out.
08:59Joey's mom hugged me so tight.
09:02I started crying because I hadn't been hugged like that in a long time.
09:05All of it got too overwhelming, and I excused myself and stepped out.
09:09You okay?
09:09Not used to so many compliments?
09:11No, it's just I thought of my mom.
09:13I'm sorry.
09:14When did she-
09:15What?
09:15Oh, no.
09:16She had to leave last year after her and my dad got divorced.
09:19She went back to Paris, where her family lives.
09:21I want to go see her.
09:22Dad won't help me with it, and she can't afford it, so I was saving.
09:26I know it looks like I have money, but it's all my dad's.
09:29This was really selfless of you.
09:31Thanks.
09:31He went back in to help everyone get settled, and then I realized why he was different from
09:36any other boy I had liked before.
09:38I actually cared what he thought of me.
09:40The other boys were all the same.
09:42They all only cared about how they looked and never did anything for anyone else.
09:46Andrew was not like anyone I knew before.
09:49The next few days went by super fast, as the volunteers and I were busy helping the hotel
09:53maids and cooks since we'd brought so many people.
09:56One day, Andrew came up to me and handed me an envelope.
09:59When I told everyone about what you gave up to help them, they set up an online fund for
10:03your Paris trip.
10:03Happy birthday, Ru.
10:04Wait, what?
10:05In all the chaos, I hadn't even realized it was my birthday.
10:08I can't believe he remembered.
10:10I wanted nothing more in the world than to go to Paris and see my mom, but I couldn't
10:14accept the money when all the people here still needed so much help.
10:18So I gave it all to the shelter to fix all the damaged homes.
10:21On our last day at the hotel, as we were all getting ready to leave in the lobby, Joey
10:25ran up to me with a newspaper in hand.
10:27Look, look, Ru, it's you.
10:28And he was right.
10:29Right there in the newspaper was a picture of me and the story about how I helped so
10:34many people and what I gave up to do it.
10:36I was shocked.
10:37I always wanted to be famous, but I never thought it would be from something like this.
10:41Thank you so much, sweetheart.
10:43You're like an angel who came and saved us.
10:45So we all wanted to do something for you too.
10:48Oh, no, please.
10:50The donation was for you.
10:51She's not talking about those donations.
10:53She's talking about these donations.
10:55Andrew opened the lobby door and outside were hundreds of people from town who heard about
11:00what happened and what I did.
11:02They were all leaving donations for my trip.
11:05You helped people, so people helped you back.
11:07All of a sudden, people began to applaud for me.
11:10And so that's how a shallow, spoiled girl became a criminal and then something more.
11:15And I even got a little extra to bring a friend along.
11:18Come on, Andrew.
11:36I'm good to see you.
