00:00I'd been avoiding this all night, but it was time to face the truth.
00:04I was standing in the middle of the dance floor at the Winter Formal,
00:07surrounded by two of the most popular boys in school, Nicholas and Isaac.
00:11Nicholas gave me flowers.
00:12Isaac jumped in front of Nicholas and started singing me a love song.
00:16Nicholas threw a glass of punch in Isaac's face, then gave me a diamond necklace.
00:20Both of you, get away from me!
00:22How many times do I have to tell you, I don't love you?
00:25But we shared a chicken sandwich.
00:27I gave you half my fries.
00:28What about me?
00:30We walked on the beach under the moonlight and kissed under the stars.
00:34I liked all your Instagram posts,
00:36and I texted you a thousand smiley face emojis with hearts in their eyes.
00:39The hearts were in all of their eyes, Ember.
00:42Do you know what that means?
00:44Leave her alone, you jerk.
00:45She's my girl.
00:47No, she's mine.
00:48No, mine.
00:49The lovesick boys started shoving each other, then it turned into an all-out brawl.
00:54I snuck out the back door and ran straight into my worst nightmare,
00:58my nemesis, the boy that stole my heart and had the power to break it into a thousand pieces.
01:04His name was...
01:04No, I can't even say his name without getting butterflies.
01:07I feel like such an idiot.
01:09What's wrong with me?
01:11Things were never supposed to turn out this way.
01:13It's best if we start my crazy story from the beginning.
01:16Maybe that'll give me time to figure this out.
01:18I'm Ember, and I'm a professional heartbreaker.
01:21But before I continue, please like and subscribe.
01:24It all started with my best friend, Lisa.
01:26Lisa and I were inseparable since birth.
01:28We loved the same movies, music, and games.
01:31We'd finish each other's sentences and keep each other's secrets.
01:34But everything changed when Lisa discovered boys.
01:37When we were nine, Lisa ran up to me and my neighbor Wilson at the park.
01:41Do you see that boy over there?
01:43The one that's picking his nose?
01:45Of course not.
01:46The one that's eating sand?
01:48No!
01:48The one next to him with the dark hair and dreamy brown eyes.
01:52I think I'm in love with him.
01:54A day later, Lisa and the boy were a couple.
01:56A week after that, the boy broke Lisa's heart, and she lost her mind.
02:00She cried for days.
02:02Wilson and I tried to cheer Lisa up, but nothing worked.
02:05Then one day, Lisa walked up to me and Wilson happy as a clam because she'd found another boy.
02:10Then he broke her heart, and the whole cycle continued over and over and over again.
02:14Why do you keep crying over these stupid boys?
02:17The last one smelled like a stinky old sock.
02:20He didn't smell like a sock.
02:22He smelled like a man.
02:24But he was only 12.
02:26You guys don't get it because you're not as mature as I am.
02:29You're only two months older than we are.
02:31But you know nothing about the magic of love.
02:35It went on like that for years until we reached high school,
02:38and Lisa fell in love with a football player named Nicholas.
02:42Yeah, the same guy from the beginning of my story.
02:44The one with the horrible singing voice and obsessed with heart emojis.
02:48Ember, he's the one.
02:50I just know it.
02:51You said that about the last boy.
02:53No, it's for real this time.
02:55I think I'm gonna marry him.
02:57A day later, she and Nicholas were insta-official.
03:00They dated for a year, but the whole time he was cheating on her, and it broke Lisa's heart.
03:05The same thing happened with another boy at school named Isaac, a smooth-talking, rich model.
03:09Yep, he was the second jerk you met in the beginning of the story.
03:13Every time Lisa saw Nicholas or Isaac with another girl, she'd break down in tears.
03:18She couldn't pay attention in class.
03:19She started failing all her tests.
03:21Her grades dropped.
03:22She stopped coming to school, and eventually couldn't get out of bed.
03:26Lisa's parents got so worried about her that they moved away, and I lost my best friend forever.
03:31I was devastated.
03:33She even refused to contact us, and changed her number and deactivated all her social media accounts.
03:38Her mom told us to respect her wishes.
03:41You still have me.
03:42It's not the same, Wilson.
03:44After Lisa left, I blamed myself.
03:46Nicholas and Isaac were heartbreakers, and all the girls loved them, even though they both
03:51had the IQ of a fly and were the most conceited boys on Earth.
03:55They had a new girl every week and ripped the poor girl's heart to shreds.
04:00I should have protected Lisa from those jerks.
04:02She was my best friend in the world, but I wasn't there for her.
04:05I'm the reason she's gone.
04:06That's not true.
04:08Lisa made her own decisions.
04:09She chose to date those guys.
04:11If it's not my fault, why does it hurt so much?
04:14A couple years later, in my senior year, I had a major glow-up.
04:19My dark olive skin and long curly hair caught me so much attention, people thought I was
04:24a model or a movie star.
04:26Nicholas kept staring at me in gym class.
04:28I tried to ignore him, but he cornered me in the hallway.
04:31Hey beautiful, I couldn't help but notice that you're almost as hot as me.
04:35I've never seen you around.
04:37Is this your first day?
04:38No, dummy.
04:39We've been in the same classes for two years.
04:41He looked at me like I was crazy.
04:43I'm Ember, Lisa's best friend.
04:46Uh, I don't know any Lisa.
04:48Your ex-girlfriend's Lisa?
04:50He shrugged his shoulders like he didn't even care.
04:53I wanted to slap him in his stupid jerk face.
04:56I'm captain of the football team, you know, and I've got 2% body fat.
05:00He lifted up his shirt to show me his washboard abs.
05:03Am I supposed to care?
05:05You're funny.
05:06Let's go out this weekend.
05:07I was pissed.
05:08First, Nicholas broke Lisa's heart, and now he wanted to go out with me?
05:12Suddenly, I had an idea.
05:14I could make him pay for what he did to Lisa.
05:17So, I said yes.
05:18Later that day, Wilson and I were sitting together at lunch.
05:21I was helping him fix his battle robot for the robotics club when Isaac walked up.
05:25Hey, babe.
05:26Is your dad a genie because you're my wish come true?
05:29We should get together.
05:30You're not her type.
05:31No one asked you, nerd.
05:33Wilson's battle robot charged at Isaac.
05:35Isaac grabbed the robot and spiked it like a football.
05:39Wiper butt, no!
05:41Next time, mind your own business.
05:43Avenge me.
05:45Wilson jumped up to confront Isaac, and I slid between them.
05:49I'd love to go out with you, Isaac.
05:51I gave Isaac my number, then he walked away.
05:53Wilson was totally confused.
05:55Why would you go out with that jerk that broke Lisa's heart?
05:58I'm gonna go out with both jerks that broke Lisa's heart.
06:01I'm gonna make them pay for what they did to Lisa.
06:04After that, Wilson and I came up with a master plan.
06:07Nicholas was the first target.
06:09He was obsessed with sports and super competitive.
06:12He was on the basketball team, the football team, and the baseball team.
06:16But after a little investigation, Wilson and I discovered that Nicholas was terrified of heights.
06:21For our date, I invited Nicholas to a rock climbing gym.
06:24As we were walking inside, Nicholas saw a beggar on the street and yelled at him for asking for food.
06:30Get your own food, loser.
06:31Ugh, I can't understand why these poor people choose to live on the sidewalk.
06:35There's an apartment building right across the street.
06:38I couldn't believe how insensitive and stupid Nicholas was, but I had to stay focused on my mission.
06:44Good question, but tonight's about us.
06:46Let's go have some fun.
06:47I took his hand and pulled him inside.
06:49Nicholas took one look at the rock wall and broke into a sweat.
06:53I don't know about this, Ember.
06:55Can't we just go to the movies?
06:56Are you scared?
06:58I didn't know you were a chicken.
07:00I'm no chicken.
07:01I'm not afraid of anything.
07:02I'll climb to the top twice as fast as you.
07:04You're on.
07:05I raced to the top and Nicholas struggled to keep up.
07:09Come on, Nicholas.
07:10You can do it.
07:11Just don't look down.
07:12Nicholas looked down and freaked out.
07:15He started crying like a baby.
07:17It took 20 minutes for the instructors to pry him off the wall.
07:21Wilson recorded the whole thing on his phone and posted it online.
07:25The video went viral in minutes and Nicholas was the biggest joke.
07:30The next day, I went out with Isaac.
07:32He got us concert tickets to see a famous pop star.
07:35He met me at my door with a huge bouquet of flowers, but when he wasn't looking, I slipped
07:39a couple doggy treats in his pocket.
07:41As we were walking to his car, my neighbor's huge dog charged towards him.
07:46Isaac got so scared, he turned to run, but slipped and fell face first in the mud.
07:51His clothes were ruined and so was his perfect hair.
07:55I'm so sorry.
07:56It's okay.
07:57It was an accident.
07:58Too bad we'll miss the concert.
08:00We don't have to miss it.
08:01Come with me.
08:02I dragged Isaac inside my house and told him he could take a shower.
08:05I gave him a special bottle of shampoo to wash his hair and some of my dad's old clothes.
08:10Ten minutes later, I heard Isaac scream.
08:13My hair!
08:15Oh no!
08:16Silly me.
08:17I guess that wasn't shampoo.
08:18At least the green brings out your eyes.
08:21Isaac ran out of my house like a maniac.
08:24I wished Lisa was here to see what we did.
08:26She would have been so proud.
08:27Wilson and I celebrated.
08:29I even had the rest of the weekend to help him fix his broken battle robot.
08:33I really appreciate your help, Ember.
08:35It's the least I can do.
08:36I couldn't have gotten back at Nicholas and Isaac without you.
08:39I was worried that you'd fall for those guys like all those other girls at school.
08:43Give me some credit.
08:44Those guys are the worst.
08:46I like guys that are smart and kind.
08:48Then Wilson gave me a strange look.
08:50I think I like you.
08:52I mean, like you like you.
08:53Ever since we were kids, I was wondering if maybe we could go out on a real date.
08:57I was shocked.
08:58I never saw Wilson as anything more than a friend.
09:01But as I thought about dating him, I suddenly started to blush.
09:04Sorry, I guess that was a dumb idea.
09:06I'll leave now.
09:07Before I knew it, Wilson was walking out the door.
09:10Wait!
09:11I grabbed Wilson's hand.
09:12He turned to me.
09:13And when we looked into each other's eyes, I swear that sparks started flying.
09:17Or it could have been the porch lamp shorting out again.
09:20It has been doing that for weeks.
09:21The next day, spring break started, and Wilson and I spent every minute together.
09:26We grew closer by the day.
09:27And after we shared our first kiss, I finally understood what Lisa meant about the magic of love.
09:33Being with Wilson made me feel like I was walking on a cloud.
09:37Though it was bittersweet because I still missed Lisa so much.
09:40But when school started, everything changed.
09:42My first day back, Nicholas ran up to me with a huge smile on his face.
09:47Amber, it's so good to see you.
09:49It took me a while to realize it, but you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
09:53You changed my life.
09:54Wait, what?
09:55I was totally shocked.
09:57I thought Nicholas hated me.
09:58You gave me the courage to face my fear of heights, clowns, and strawberries.
10:03You're afraid of strawberries?
10:06It's the seeds and their pointy ends.
10:07They could take an eye out, but that doesn't matter anymore.
10:10I've conquered all my fears, and now I'm unstoppable.
10:13I'm a new man, and I think I like you.
10:16Then Nicholas kissed me on the cheek and waltzed down the hall.
10:19After school, Isaac ran up to me in the parking lot with his bright green hair.
10:24He hugged me and spun me around.
10:26Babe, you're amazing.
10:28My hair is a hit.
10:30I booked ten modeling jobs over the break.
10:32I wanted to call and tell you, but I was so busy.
10:34You're my good luck charm.
10:36Before I could say anything, Isaac kissed me.
10:38Then out of nowhere, Wilson and Nicholas appeared.
10:42Wilson stared at me and Isaac in total disbelief.
10:45Nicholas got so mad, he grabbed Isaac and punched him in the nose.
10:49Get your hands off my girl.
10:51She's not your girl.
10:52She's the love of my life.
10:54Then I saw an amazing opportunity.
10:57My mission wasn't complete.
10:59That night, I told Wilson about my new plan.
11:01Our mission isn't over.
11:03I'll go on a few more dates with Nicholas and Isaac.
11:06I'll make them compete for my love.
11:07And when I know I've got them hooked, I'll rip their hearts to shreds.
11:11I'll just need you to...
11:13What about us?
11:14We'll keep our relationship a secret until after I break Nicholas and Isaac's hearts.
11:18You're not making any sense.
11:19I'm your boyfriend.
11:20I can't just sit back and watch you date other guys.
11:23We have to complete the mission.
11:25I don't care about the stupid mission.
11:27What are you saying?
11:28It's me or them.
11:30I chose the mission.
11:31I couldn't back off now.
11:32It was too important.
11:34I owed it to Lisa.
11:35After that, Wilson and I broke up.
11:37I kept dating Nicholas and Isaac and made them compete for my affection.
11:41It was funny seeing them try to one-up each other to win my heart.
11:45But every time Wilson saw me with them, he gave me the saddest looks.
11:49What are you staring at, nerd?
11:50A jerk sandwich with a side of stupid sauce?
11:53Nerd Boy thinks he's funny.
11:54He's just jealous because Ember's out of his league.
11:57She'll be my girl soon.
11:58No, Carrot Head.
12:00She'll choose me.
12:01My muscles are bigger than yours.
12:02I've got an 8-pack.
12:04You've only got 6.
12:05Oh yeah?
12:06My biceps are the size of a grapefruit.
12:09Nicholas and Isaac took off their shirts and started flexing in front of each other.
12:13A couple of Wilson's battle robots ran up and kicked them in the shins.
12:17As the days passed, I couldn't stop thinking about Wilson.
12:20Suddenly, I felt like I was the bad guy.
12:22It was one thing to break Nicholas and Isaac's hearts, but Wilson didn't deserve this at
12:27all.
12:28I was so confused.
12:29I was doing this for Lisa, but hurting Wilson in the process.
12:33So, I was finally able to reach out to Lisa for the first time in years.
12:38She was living 3,000 miles away in Australia.
12:41She told me all about her new life and her new boyfriend and how sorry she was for not
12:46keeping in touch.
12:47Then, I told her about my mission.
12:49Oh, Ember, you didn't have to do that for me.
12:51Love's a risk and sometimes it hurts, but it's worth it.
12:55I was trying to break those heartbreakers' hearts and broke Wilson's along the way.
12:59I feel like a hypocrite trying to teach those guys not to play with a person's emotions
13:04while I was doing the same thing.
13:07You made a mistake and that's okay.
13:09We all do.
13:10Now, you just have to fix it.
13:11The next day, I met up with Nicholas and Isaac.
13:14It's over.
13:15I don't love you.
13:16I don't want to see you anymore.
13:17They didn't take it very well.
13:19They dropped dozens of teddy bears, candy, and love notes at my door, but I sent it all
13:24back.
13:25I tried to contact Wilson, but he didn't return my calls.
13:28And when I went by his house, his mom told me he was out of town at the National Robot
13:32Battle Championships.
13:34I was proud of Wilson, but so sad I wasn't there to support him like he'd always supported
13:39me.
13:39He posted a bunch of videos from the competition online.
13:42The moment I saw his face and heard his voice, my feelings for him rushed back and suddenly
13:48I was nursing my own broken heart.
13:50A week later, a couple of girls from class encouraged me to go to the winter dance.
13:54It was better than sitting in my room all alone, so I agreed to go.
13:58So, yeah.
13:59Now we're back to where we started.
14:01Hey, editor.
14:01Can you speed things up from here?
14:03No problem.
14:04Okay, here it is.
14:05The moment of truth.
14:06When I ran out the back door and right into the love of my life.
14:09If you haven't guessed it by now, the Mr. Guy is Wilson.
14:12And he looked so different that night.
14:14He was confident and happier than I'd ever seen him before.
14:17Wilson looked up at me with his big brown eyes, and all my feelings for him were stronger
14:22than ever.
14:23I'm sorry I hurt you.
14:24I was so obsessed with getting revenge for Lisa that I became a colossal jerk.
14:29I hope you can forgive me.
14:30Maybe someday we can be friends again.
14:32I don't know.
14:33You did some really dumb stuff.
14:36I get it.
14:36I ruined our friendship and broke your heart.
14:38I understand why you don't want to be friends anymore.
14:41I guess this is goodbye.
14:42I turned to leave.
14:43Then Wilson grabbed my hand and smiled.
14:46This doesn't have to be the end.
14:48Maybe we can fix this.
14:49I think it's worth a try.
14:50Another mission?
14:51Something like that.
