00:00Hi, I'm Sophie from France, and my story, you'll have to see to believe.
00:04My life was brilliant.
00:06I grew up in a vineyard, and my parents worked super hard to make it a worldwide success.
00:11Even though they were super busy, they made sure I got the best things in life.
00:15I've just bought you a pony.
00:17You can take him out on rides around the property.
00:19Do you want to get a puppy, too?
00:21We were super rich, but I didn't care about that.
00:24I was homeschooled to take over the family business,
00:26but I spent most of my time going on adventures with my best friend Luke.
00:30He was the son of our surveyor, Mr. Duran, and a major scaredy-cat,
00:35but he never said no to my crazy plans, even when they landed us in trouble.
00:40Come on, Luke, let's go to the lake and search for sea monsters.
00:43Are you crazy?
00:44We'll catch it cold, and besides, it's against the rules.
00:48Rules, schmoles.
00:49If there was a rule against sneezing, your head would explode from keeping them in.
00:53And you'd pick your nose just to tick people off.
00:55No, we're not going to the lake, and that's final.
00:59But I never took no for an answer.
01:01So I jumped over the fence and went running towards the lake.
01:04And poor Luke had to follow.
01:08But I stopped short when I saw a couple of village boys throwing rocks at a beehive.
01:12Hey, leave those poor bees alone.
01:14What's it to you, princess?
01:16Go back to your stupid grape juice farm.
01:19Sophie, we need to head back now.
01:21No, you should go back to school and learn how important bees are for the environment.
01:26What, Luke?
01:27Those aren't bees, Sophie.
01:29They're hornets.
01:30Just then, a rock tore through the nest, and all the hornets flew out.
01:34And they were pissed.
01:36But instead of going after the village brats, they attacked Luke and me.
01:39We ran for our lives, but we got stung so much that by the time we got home,
01:44our faces resembled beach balls.
01:46And it hurt.
01:48And Luke went ballistic.
01:50I told you we shouldn't go.
01:52You never listen to me.
01:53I'm sick and tired of being your babysitter.
01:56Babysitter?
01:57The stings really mess with your head.
01:59I'm your friend.
02:01Friends listen to each other.
02:03You're not my friend.
02:04Your parents hired me to keep you out of trouble.
02:07Luke, stop it.
02:08We're honored to serve in any capacity.
02:11You might be, but I'm not.
02:13She's a reckless maniac.
02:14I'm sick of getting hurt because of her.
02:16I quit.
02:17Mom, what's going on?
02:19Sweetie, you're an adventurer, and we didn't want to hold you back.
02:23And Luke was the perfect balance to your hyper-personality.
02:26So, we paid him to keep you safe.
02:29We were only doing what was best for you.
02:31You think this is best for me?
02:33My entire relationship was a lie.
02:36What else have you been lying about?
02:38Are you two even my parents or is someone paying you too?
02:40I stormed off to my room and didn't speak to anyone for days.
02:45Luke left for the city without saying goodbye, and I felt humiliated that I was such a loser.
02:50No one would be my friend if I wasn't rich.
02:53Mom and dad arranged playdates with other kids, but it wasn't the same.
02:57Every day I missed Luke, and every day I hated him more.
03:01But things at the vineyard got worse.
03:03Our wine sales went down, and then a freak storm destroyed more than half the vineyard.
03:08We had nothing left, and the bank seized the family estate.
03:12Suddenly, we were homeless.
03:14Don't worry, darling.
03:15As long as we're together, we'll be fine.
03:18The Durans have invited us to stay with them for a while.
03:20Stay with Luke?
03:22But he hates us.
03:23Beggars can't be choosers, love.
03:25And it's been years.
03:26I'm sure he's over all that.
03:28It'll be cramped in their small house, but it's temporary.
03:31But my jaw nearly fell to the floor when I saw their house.
03:34It was a mansion with fountains in the garden.
03:37Mr. and Mrs. Durant had made a fortune by making the right investments and were super nice.
03:42But Luke?
03:43I had to blink hard because I couldn't believe how handsome he'd become.
03:47His eyes were still as green as I remembered,
03:50and the small dimple still appeared near his lips when he smiled.
03:54Suddenly, he reached out and touched my hair.
03:56You've still got bugs in your hair.
03:58Oh, thanks.
04:00I didn't know it was there.
04:01I guess I'm a real bug magnet.
04:04Yeah, you always did attract the creepy crawlers.
04:07Um, that was weird, but at least he wasn't angry or rude.
04:11After lunch, I was strolling around trying to let out a quiet burp when suddenly I slipped and fell in the pool.
04:18Strong arms pulled me out of the water, and I was face to face with Luke.
04:22And to my complete humiliation, I burped in his face like a bullfrog.
04:26Hmm, I thought you had changed, but I still have to save you from yourself.
04:31And I'm sick of it.
04:32Hey, it was an accident.
04:33Once a troublemaker, always a troublemaker.
04:36Mom, you better hide the good plates or she'll break them in a freak accident.
04:40Luke, that's enough.
04:41Whatever.
04:42I have homework to do anyway.
04:43Mr. and Mrs. Durant apologized for Luke's behavior, but I didn't want to be a burden.
04:48I spent the night thinking of several business plans to get us back on our feet, but we just didn't have the money.
04:54A week later, I was waiting at the bus stop when suddenly a sports car raced by me, drenching me with muddy water.
05:01Hey, watch where you're going.
05:03I am so sorry.
05:04I didn't see you there.
05:05You're headed to school, right?
05:06Let me give you a ride and we can get you cleaned up.
05:09My name is Bella, and I'm kind of a big deal there.
05:11You should stick with me because you're obviously new.
05:14And don't mind me saying so, but you look like you got dressed in the dark.
05:18Um, I just moved here from the village.
05:21OMG, love that for you.
05:23I've always been a city girl.
05:25Last year when we went to my family's house, Bella talked nonstop till we got to the school.
05:29And by the time we were sitting in first period, I knew her entire life story.
05:34She was an only child, her mom and dad were rich politicians, and she loved corgis.
05:39They have the cutest, slappable butts.
05:42I've wanted one for so long, but my parents say I'm too irresponsible.
05:45And my boyfriend is super scared of dogs.
05:47And OMG, there he is.
05:49Babe, come meet my new bestie.
05:51Oh wait, I totally forgot to ask your name.
05:54It's Sophie.
05:55Whoa, did you just read her mind, Luke?
05:58I didn't know you had super normal powers.
06:00No, I know her.
06:02She's the family friend I told you about.
06:05The reckless one.
06:06Even turtles look reckless to a chicken like you.
06:09Guys, do you know what this means?
06:11We can be besties together.
06:13Bella was the sweetest girl imaginable.
06:15She didn't care whether I was rich or poor.
06:18She just liked me for me and took me everywhere with her.
06:22Even on dates.
06:23Oh wow, babe.
06:25This is such a cute bracelet.
06:26But you know I'm allergic to pink.
06:28But it looks so cute on you, Sophie.
06:31OMG, you should totally have it.
06:33Bella, you're crazy.
06:35Luke got this for you.
06:37I don't mind.
06:37See?
06:38Our boyfriend doesn't mind.
06:40Put it on her, Luke.
06:41Our boyfriend?
06:42What was going on?
06:44My skin tingled as his fingers touched my skin.
06:47And Luke stared into my eyes.
06:49He was oddly sweet when we weren't at home.
06:51And rather than get jealous, Bella clapped and cheered.
06:55They were the weirdest couple I'd ever met.
06:57But Bella thought I was the weird one.
07:00What do you mean you've never read Shakespeare?
07:02I was only taught things that would help me run a vineyard.
07:05Like, that is hollyroot and will help you with fevers.
07:09And that thing you're taking a selfie with is poison ivy.
07:12Yikes!
07:13Hey, you should make TikToks.
07:15OMG, this is the best idea I've ever had.
07:18We can go on nature walks and you can talk about what's poisonous and what isn't.
07:22Incredibly, Bella's idea was a hit.
07:25I went viral and people in school started calling me Nature Girl.
07:28I even started getting sponsors.
07:30And one day, my fans challenged me to participate in Mr. Beast's Squid Game.
07:34The contest was tough and, as expected, many people joined the fight.
07:39I did my best to win the game, but I lost during the tug of war.
07:44Still, it was the best adventure I had ever done.
07:47I made tons of new friends as well.
07:49Not to mention, seeing Mr. Beast personally is the coolest.
07:54My heart jumped when I saw him heading my way.
07:57Hi there.
07:58Thank you for joining our version of Squid Game.
08:00You were great.
08:01Thank you, Mr. Beast.
08:03We all had a blast, even though we lost.
08:05Just being part of your content alone is an experience of a lifetime.
08:10Well, making people happy is what my content is all about.
08:14I'm glad you had fun.
08:16I really did.
08:17And it's been quite a long while since I had fun like this.
08:20Really?
08:21Why is that?
08:22Well, sometimes life could get rough all of a sudden.
08:25Things happen without warning.
08:26That is so true.
08:29But no matter what, never stop walking the road to happiness.
08:33Never forget the quote, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
08:38I felt my eyes sting as Mr. Beast gave me a hug.
08:42And just like what Mr. Beast said, I never stopped walking the road to happiness.
08:46I kept on seeking adventure, teaching my fans about plants through TikTok.
08:50Bella supported me 100%.
08:52Eventually, the money I got from my sponsors were used to set up a small grocery shop in
08:58the city.
08:58And little by little, we were saving up to move out.
09:01Life was getting better.
09:03But Luke's behavior at home was getting worse and worse.
09:06He was rude to his parents and ignored them all the time.
09:10One time, Mrs. Durand asked them to pass the bread, and he accidentally dumped them all
09:15on the floor.
09:16What is wrong with you?
09:17That's no way to behave with your parents.
09:19You have no idea what you're talking about.
09:21Stay out of it, please.
09:23This isn't you, Luke.
09:25You used to be so sweet and caring, even if you were pretending.
09:29His eyes softened, but then he shook his head and pushed past me.
09:32I'm not the boy you used to know.
09:34It's okay, Sophie.
09:35It's just a phase.
09:37I didn't get what his problem was.
09:39He had everything he could ever want.
09:41Loving parents, a roof over his head, and a great girlfriend.
09:44But things with Luke and Bella were getting weirder.
09:47The old feelings were coming back and made me nervous.
09:50So when Dad announced we'd be moving to our own apartment at the end of the month, I was
09:55relieved.
09:56But also bittersweet.
09:58Late one night, I was packing up my things for the move when I heard footsteps on the
10:01roof.
10:02I freaked out and picked up a baseball bat to investigate.
10:05There was so much crime in the city.
10:07We never had this problem in the village.
10:09What if there was more than one burglar?
10:11But it was only Luke.
10:12You scared the farts right out of me.
10:15Oh, great.
10:15Just what I need.
10:17A damsel in distress.
10:18I'm the one holding the bat smart aleck, and I was always the brave one, while you
10:23were scared of your own shadow.
10:24I sure was a coward back then.
10:26Remember that time you couldn't sleep and you made me push all those sheep from a fence
10:30so you could count them?
10:31They were goats, and Farmer Jack was so mad.
10:34He made a shovel horse poop for weeks.
10:37You have to admit, it was fun pretending to be my friend.
10:40I was never pretending.
10:42He looked at me like there was so much he wanted to tell me, but he couldn't.
10:46His lips were so close, and my heart beat like crazy.
10:50I wanted him to say more, but I also wanted him to shut up and kiss me.
10:54But Luke pulled away suddenly, looking angry.
10:57Forget it.
10:57You won't understand.
10:59Had I almost kissed my best friend's boyfriend?
11:02What was wrong with me?
11:03It was a good thing we were moving out in a few days anyway.
11:06On our last day in the house, Mr. and Mrs. Durant held a farewell party for us.
11:11They invited all their friends, including Bella and her parents, and held a mini-promotion
11:15of our little grocery store and even showed my videos on a big screen.
11:19Luke looked handsome in a suit, but I had to look away.
11:22I still felt guilty about the other night, and confused by his hot and cold attitude.
11:27But suddenly, he was standing right in front of me.
11:30Hey, want to dance?
11:31I shouldn't.
11:32Why?
11:33Do you think you'll trip and fall?
11:34No.
11:35Then come on.
11:36He whirled me onto the dance floor, and I felt like I was dancing on air.
11:40It was magical and thrilling.
11:42Then his lips came close, and all the voices in my head fell silent.
11:47But the music suddenly stopped.
11:49Luke, what are you doing?
11:50Bella's parents are watching.
11:52You should be dancing with her, not the poor grocery girl.
11:55Yes.
11:56Sophia can't bring you any connections or wealth.
11:59I'm sorry, dear, but we have to think of Luke's future, and that is with Bella.
12:03I was so shocked, my mouth fell open.
12:06My parents were furious.
12:08Is this how you feel about us?
12:10Why did you invite us to stay with you?
12:12Why throw us this party?
12:13Because they want to rub in your faces how rich they are now.
12:16They always envied you.
12:17And they didn't throw you this party.
12:19Bella and I did.
12:20It was all Luke's idea.
12:22He's been planning this party for weeks.
12:24I just helped with the decorations.
12:25Suddenly, all the guests left saying they were disgusted, and Mr. and Mrs. Durand looked
12:31panicked.
12:32What's going on?
12:33I'm so confused.
12:35Let me explain.
12:36When we were kids, I loved being your friend.
12:39You were awesome and brave, but my parents wanted to cash in on that friendship and started
12:43charging your parents for protection services.
12:46I hated it.
12:47We did it for you, son, so you could have everything rich kids had.
12:50I never wanted any of that.
12:52And even here in the city, you insisted I date rich girls so you could make connections
12:57with their parents.
12:58You two have always used me for your own gain, and I'm sick of it.
13:02And look what it got you.
13:04You have luxury cars.
13:05You live in a mansion.
13:06But I can't be with the girl I love.
13:08I thought you two were in love.
13:10I'm a cheerleader, and he's a jock.
13:12We had to date.
13:13It's like in the Bible or something.
13:15But we were never in love.
13:16And when I saw how much you two loved each other, you knew.
13:20Always.
13:21Why do you think I kept leaving you two alone when we hung out?
13:24You two are super cute together.
13:26Can you ever forgive me for being such a jerk and not getting in touch sooner?
13:30I thought you hated me.
13:32I did, but only because I missed you so much.
13:36I'm never gonna leave you now.
13:38Me either.
13:39Best friends?
13:40The bestest.
13:41And he kissed me, and it was everything I'd imagined.
13:50I haven't thought you because I'm gonna move around in the middle of the house.
13:52Maybe I might have fun.
13:54Maybe.
13:55Whether you've got a book out or something or anything.
13:56I could have put a report related to it.
13:57I would i
14:01be able to do some more activity in the house!
