00:00Hello friends, I'm Aria from Chicago. Before I tell you my incredible story, please like and subscribe.
00:06I know everyone thinks their dads are strong, but I knew for a fact that mine was the strongest.
00:12He was an army major and I was super proud of him, but because of his job, he was gone for months.
00:17Mom left us when I was a baby, so grandma took care of me in dad's absence.
00:22But when I was in 7th grade, he gave me the best news ever.
00:25He was getting remarried and I was getting a new mom and a sister.
00:30Dad got me the most gorgeous pink dress for his wedding and everyone couldn't stop gushing about how pretty I looked.
00:36Until my stepsister Jenny crashed into me and spilled her orange juice all over my hair and clothes.
00:43I, I'm so sorry, there was a bee chasing me. It's okay, the wedding's over anyway.
00:48My stepmom doted on me and Jenny, well, she was also pretty awesome.
00:52But sometimes she went overboard with her kindness.
00:56Aria, I made these napkins for you with my own hands.
01:00That would have been cute if Jenny hadn't made that out of the dress I wore on our parents' wedding day.
01:06Once, Jenny and I were playing in a nearby park and after a few hours, we felt hungry.
01:11So Jenny went home to fetch something to eat.
01:13Suddenly, I heard her screaming, so I ran to her and found one of our neighbors holding her by her collar.
01:19What are you doing, Mrs. Sparkly?
01:20I caught this little thief trying to break into your home.
01:23She was crawling through the kitchen window.
01:25That's because I forgot the key and no one's home.
01:28Yeah, she's not a thief. She's my sister.
01:31Your sister?
01:32I'm sorry, honey. You're so pretty. You both don't look related at all.
01:37It was true that Jenny and I looked different.
01:40The way Mrs. Sparkly said that made me feel bad.
01:43And Jenny looked ready to explode.
01:46And you look like you're related to a family of pigs.
01:48Here, eat some dirt.
01:50Jenny grabbed a fistful of mud, threw it on Mrs. Sparkly's face and ran away.
01:55Dad had to face the anger of a furious Mrs. Sparkly for an hour that evening.
02:00Soon, Jenny joined my school and I was glad to introduce her to my friends.
02:04But I noticed that she tried to copy me in everything.
02:07We ended up buying the same clothes.
02:09She joined the school's drama club like me.
02:11And she even brought pasta to school every day like me, even though she hated it.
02:16Then one day, I got to know she wanted to play the role I was auditioning for in the school play.
02:21So I simply stepped back to give her the chance.
02:24And she did manage to land the role.
02:26When we got home, she happily broke the news to Mom and Dad.
02:29But just then, Dad got a call and when he hung up, he cried with joy.
02:34It was your drama teacher.
02:35Some casting director watched your recent play.
02:38And he wants to cast you in an upcoming teen movie.
02:41I was ecstatic!
02:43Dad said he'd take us all to dinner at a fancy restaurant to celebrate.
02:46But that night, Jenny got a bad headache and Mom had to stay back to take care of her.
02:51After that day, I started getting popular in school.
02:54Everyone suddenly wanted to hang out with me.
02:56But I felt Jenny slowly growing distant.
02:59She no longer wanted to play with me at home.
03:01And at school, she'd often say awful things to embarrass me.
03:05Did you guys know that Aria ate her bookers when she was little?
03:08Ew!
03:09And she loved smelling her socks after a sweaty gym session.
03:13Whenever I told Mom about it, Jenny started crying like a baby and said she was just having some harmless fun.
03:20Six months passed and one day, Dad got a call that he and his team had to leave for Afghanistan immediately.
03:26A couple of days after Dad left, we got the most terrible news.
03:30Dad and a few of his teammates had gone missing.
03:32I was devastated.
03:34But Mom and Jenny acted like everything was normal.
03:37It was Jenny's birthday in a week and both of them were busy planning for the party.
03:41Aria, should I get a Barbie cake or unicorn cake?
03:45How can you even think about celebrating when there's still no news about Dad?
03:49It's my 13th birthday.
03:50I can't let anyone ruin it.
03:52Besides, who knows if he'll ever be found.
03:55That made me so angry.
03:56I gave Jenny a tight slap.
03:58She pounced on me and we fought like wildcats until Mom pulled us apart.
04:02When she heard what happened, she grounded me for a week.
04:05But when the party was in full swing, I may have sneaked into the kitchen and sprinkled
04:10some extra pepper in the food and poured a bottle of vinegar into the lemonade.
04:15Mom, I feel like I ate the sun.
04:18Get me some lemonade, quick.
04:20What did you mix in it?
04:21It tastes like pee.
04:23The party was ruined.
04:25And obviously, it didn't take long for Mom and Jenny to figure out who was responsible for it.
04:30Your daddy spoiled you way too much, Aria.
04:33But now, it's time to knock some sense into that pretty little head of yours.
04:37Mom placed a mop bucket in front of me and asked me to clean the kitchen.
04:41Just then, I saw Jenny walk out of my room with all my favorite dresses.
04:46Since you didn't get me a birthday cake, I'm taking these.
04:49Oh, and I also like the headband you're wearing.
04:52Jenny snatched it from my head and put it on hers.
04:55And Mom didn't say a word.
04:56Two years passed and there was still no news of Dad or his teammates.
05:01But I never lost hope.
05:03Several acting offers poured in after my movie stint.
05:05But I refused them all since I was more interested in studying and topping my grades.
05:10Besides, I knew if I got more popular, Jenny would resent it and find ways to make my life miserable.
05:16When I reached the 10th grade, a new girl named Cheryl joined our class mid-session.
05:21Our teacher made her sit with me so that I could help her catch up on the work she'd missed.
05:24But soon, I noticed something really weird about her.
05:28She didn't smile or laugh at all.
05:31Do you know what happens when an elephant feels dizzy?
05:33It ele-f-aints!
05:35What's a cow's favorite holiday?
05:37Moo Year's Eve!
05:39Soon, the whole class was gossiping about how weird Cheryl was.
05:43Someone even started a rumor that she was a robot.
05:46Then one day, I entered the classroom and saw Jenny's minions had pinned Cheryl to a wall
05:51and Jenny was tickling her.
05:53Why can't you laugh?
05:54Are you really a robot?
05:56Stop it!
05:57Leave her alone!
05:58I will!
05:58When she smiles!
06:00I'm sure Cheryl doesn't want to waste her smile on a moron like you!
06:04Just then, our teacher entered and everyone went back to their seats.
06:08After that incident, Cheryl and I grew super close.
06:11She told me that she had a rare condition called Mobius Syndrome that made it impossible
06:16for her to have any facial expressions.
06:17The kids at my previous school kept bullying me, so I begged mom to shift me to a new one.
06:23But I guess I'll always be a weirdo.
06:25Cheryl, you're perfect just the way you are.
06:28I'm gonna make sure no one makes you feel otherwise.
06:31I asked our teacher if Cheryl and I could organize workshops to educate kids about Mobius
06:35Syndrome, and she gladly agreed.
06:37Our workshops were a great success.
06:40Every kid who attended told Cheryl how brave she was for talking about her condition, including
06:44our school's most popular jock, Chris.
06:47You're awesome, Cheryl.
06:48Just the way you are.
06:50OMG!
06:50Did Chris just call me awesome?
06:52Pinch me, Aria, so I know it's not a dream!
06:55Even our principal praised us and told me it was heartwarming to see the efforts I'd put
06:59in to help Cheryl.
07:00A few days later, we had a debate competition in which both Cheryl and I participated.
07:05When the results were announced, I stood first and Cheryl stood second.
07:09We both hugged each other.
07:10But just then, Cheryl's mom marched up on stage and started yelling at her.
07:15You always stood first in your previous school.
07:17What happened to you?
07:18Why have you suddenly turned stupid?
07:21But she came in second, and that's pretty awesome, too.
07:24You should be happy for her.
07:25Of course you'd say that since you bagged the top spot.
07:28Cheryl, this girl's your competition.
07:31You need to stay careful.
07:33Whatever did that mean?
07:34After that day, Cheryl and I participated in a few more competitions, all of which I won
07:39while she stood second or third.
07:41She didn't seem to mind, but I knew her mom was giving her a tough time for it.
07:46She thinks I was better off in my previous school.
07:48But doesn't she care about all the bullying you faced?
07:51She says because of my condition, it's something I have to learn to live with.
07:55And here I thought my stepmom was a witch.
07:58Months passed, and soon it was time for prom night.
08:00Cheryl had a massive crush on Chris since our workshop days, and she felt he liked her, too.
08:06I think he's gonna ask me out for prom.
08:09I'm so excited.
08:10I've already decided what I'm gonna wear.
08:12Just then, I saw Chris heading towards us.
08:14But instead of asking Cheryl, he asked me out.
08:17I felt awful, and obviously, I politely turned him down.
08:22Why did you do that?
08:23The way he was looking at you, I think he really likes you.
08:27You're so lucky, Aria.
08:29Everyone likes you.
08:30Oh, I have my share of haters, too.
08:32Besides, how can I go out with a boy my best friend has a crush on?
08:36Remember?
08:37Sisters before misters?
08:39Later that day, our science teacher had asked us to prepare a project and told us the best
08:43one would get a scholarship opportunity at a prestigious university in New York.
08:47I need to win this one.
08:49I'm pretty sure my stepmom wouldn't spend a single penny on my college education.
08:53And if I win this competition, mom would finally stop breathing down my neck.
08:58No matter which of us wins, a pizza party with lots of ice cream is guaranteed.
09:01For the next few days, Cheryl and I got busy with our projects.
09:05When we brought them to school on the submission day, I was surprised to see how amazing her
09:10project was.
09:11This looks so incredible.
09:13I'm sure you're winning this time.
09:15You really think so?
09:16I spent the last three nights working on it.
09:18Just then, it was announced that we had to keep our projects in the auditorium for the
09:22teachers to review.
09:23After placing my project next to Cheryl's, I was about to leave when a hand roughly turned
09:28me around.
09:29How dare you agree to go out with Chris?
09:32I asked him out for prom night, but he told me he was taking you.
09:35What the fudge?
09:37First Cheryl and now Jenny?
09:38Did the entire school have a crush on that guy?
09:41I have no idea why he said that.
09:43He did ask me out, but I refused.
09:46You lying witch!
09:48Suddenly, Jenny pushed me hard and I landed straight on Cheryl's project.
09:52Oh god, Jenny, what did you do?
09:55I frantically tried saving Cheryl's project, but just then I saw her walk in.
09:59What's taking you so long, Aria?
10:01Ugh!
10:02My project!
10:03I- I'm sorry, Cheryl.
10:05It was an accident.
10:06Stop lying, Aria.
10:07I just saw you ruin this project.
10:09I tried to stop her, Cheryl, but she said she had to win this competition at all costs.
10:14I was shocked at how evil Jenny could be.
10:17I was about to slap her, but Cheryl caught my hand mid-air, and my heart broke to see
10:22the distrust in her eyes.
10:23I can't believe you'd stoop so low to win a competition.
10:27I should have believed my mom.
10:29All you ever cared about was winning.
10:31Our friendship never meant anything to you.
10:34That's not true!
10:35I tried to stop Cheryl, but she ran away with tears in her eyes as Jenny smirked at me.
10:40I was summoned to the principal's office, but given my spotless track record, I was
10:44let off after a stern lecture.
10:47After that day, Cheryl refused to talk to me, and started hanging out with Jenny instead.
10:52Watching those two together made my blood boil, and I couldn't concentrate on my studies.
10:57For the first time, I got a C in science, my favorite subject.
11:02My home life was already a mess, and whatever little happiness I found in school was being
11:07destroyed by Jenny.
11:08On prom night, I was in my bed watching my favorite MSA videos when Jenny barged into
11:13my room, dressed like a wannabe model.
11:16How does it feel to be a loser, Aria?
11:18Sitting all alone on prom night in your tacky clothes?
11:22Why do you hate me so much?
11:24What have I ever done to you?
11:26Remember mom's wedding day?
11:27I was the flower girl, yet everyone kept talking about how pretty you looked.
11:32And then, I bagged that play.
11:34But you got chosen for a movie!
11:36You've always tried to one-up me!
11:38Aria's so petty!
11:39Aria's so petty!
11:40Aria's a genius!
11:41Aria!
11:42Aria!
11:43Aria!
11:44Aria!
11:45Aria!
11:46Is it really my fault that I'm good at what I do?
11:49No.
11:50But do you have any idea how that makes me feel?
11:53Technically, I should have stopped my growth just because you weren't growing at the same
11:58pace?
11:59You know what, Jenny?
12:00I am not responsible for your insecurities.
12:03And I am so done with you.
12:05The moment she left, I called Chris and told him I was ready to go to prom with him if he
12:10was still interested.
12:11He gladly agreed, and when I arrived at the party on Chris's arm, I could see Jenny's
12:16jaw drop to the floor.
12:18And then, she looked angrier than a raging bull and came charging at me.
12:22But before she could reach me, someone stepped in between us.
12:25Don't you dare mess with my best friend!
12:27Cheryl?
12:28You said you wouldn't be attending the prom!
12:31Well, guess what?
12:32I changed my mind, and I am so glad that I did.
12:35How else would I have gotten the chance to hear you bragging to your friends about how
12:39you lied to ruin things between me and Aria?
12:42Jenny looked stunned for a moment.
12:43Then, she tried to attack Cheryl, but before she could, a crowd of angry girls picked her
12:48up and threw her out!
12:50Cheryl apologized to me a lot, and I decided to give her another chance.
12:53Later that night, when Chris dropped me home, I opened the main door, but right then, a
12:58bag came flying at me.
13:00Thankfully, I dodged it just in time.
13:02How dare you think I'll let you into this house after what you did to Jenny?
13:05Stealing the boy she likes?
13:07Humiliating her at prom?
13:08Take your bag and get lost!
13:10Go scrub someone else's toilets now!
13:12No one talks to my daughter like that!
13:15It was Dad!
13:16I was thrilled to see him and ran straight into his arms.
13:20He'd listened to every word of what Mom said, and he was furious.
13:24Dad asked me if this is how I'd been treated in his absence, and he immediately sent Mom
13:29and Jenny packing.
13:31Dad then told me he'd been captured by the enemy and held hostage for two years.
13:35But then, the government struck a deal with them, and they released him.
13:38I missed you so much, Dad.
13:40I missed you more, sweetheart.
13:42As Dad pulled me in for a hug, I knew my life would be perfect again.
