00:00Hi, I'm Julia from New York City. Please like and subscribe to MSA.
00:04Ever since I can remember, I've never had a day of peace in my life thanks to my older twin sisters, Tina and Sophia.
00:10They were 10 years older, famous models just like my mom, and they loved annoying me.
00:16On my sixth birthday, mom gave me a pet piglet, but it went missing a few weeks later on Thanksgiving.
00:21I was devastated as I sat down for dinner that night.
00:24Julie, you see that turkey? That's your piggy.
00:27What? Yeah, mom said they ran out of turkey, so she cooked your piggy instead.
00:32You're lying! No!
00:35I started bawling like a baby till mom rescued my pet from my sister's closet.
00:39They were grounded, but the memory haunted me for years.
00:42I could never enjoy another Thanksgiving.
00:45Things just got weirder as we grew older.
00:47Tina and Sophia got more famous, and I became their geeky little sister with a thing for science and sugar.
00:52By 13, I weighed twice the kids my age.
00:55One time, mom invited a French photographer to take family portraits.
00:59Wow, Tina, that is a beautiful pose.
01:02Sophie, yes.
01:03Hold that.
01:04Juicy, juicy.
01:06Julie.
01:07Whatever.
01:08Pull in your tummy while you smile.
01:09A little more.
01:11More.
01:11Okay, now smile.
01:12I said smile.
01:14I was trying when Tina tickled me a little, and I let out a huge fart.
01:18Oh my god, Julie!
01:20You stink up the place!
01:22You baby cow!
01:23When the photos came out, I was so red, it looked like someone had slapped me 20 times.
01:28So embarrassing.
01:30I exercised and lost most of the extra weight.
01:32But my sisters never let me forget that incident.
01:35Worse, kids in my school constantly questioned me about my famous sisters.
01:39And I hated that.
01:41My older brother says that Tina bathes in milk.
01:44That's why she's so pretty.
01:45And Sophia brushes her hair with a comb made of feathers.
01:48Tell us, please.
01:50Is all this true?
01:50I got so annoyed, I jumped on one of them and pulled her hair.
01:54Tina's breath stinks and so do her clothes.
01:56And Sophia brushed her hair last winter.
01:58It's all makeup, you moron.
02:00Now leave me alone.
02:01Turned out it was our teacher's daughter, and my stunt landed me in detention.
02:05But I didn't care as long as I got some peace.
02:08So, yeah, life wasn't great.
02:10But it wasn't all bad either.
02:11I was at the top of my class, and at 17, I even landed a prestigious summer internship
02:16at the Natural History Museum.
02:18On my first day, I got up an hour early to get ready and reached the museum before my
02:23time.
02:23But the place was massive, and I got totally lost.
02:27Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me.
02:29Are you the new intern?
02:30Yeah, I'm Julie.
02:31Pleased to meet you.
02:32Late.
02:32You're late.
02:33You were supposed to report to me 15 minutes ago.
02:36Before I could even apologize, the boys started walking away.
02:39Hey, I'm Pierre, your supervisor, boss, whatever you want to call it.
02:42Okay, so tell me, why is the sky blue?
02:45Too slow.
02:45How do airplanes fly?
02:46How old is the Earth?
02:47Do you know anything besides makeup?
02:494.543 billion years.
02:51What?
02:52You asked me how old the Earth is?
02:54I know my science, okay?
02:55But I guess you don't know how to talk to people.
02:57Maybe learn that first.
02:59You're right.
03:00I'm sorry.
03:01I had a tough morning, and I took it out on you.
03:03How about we start again?
03:05Hi, I'm Pierre, and it's nice to meet you.
03:07Over the next few days, Pierre and I hung out a lot.
03:10He was my age, the son of a diplomat, and he'd only recently moved to New York.
03:14He was also really smart, and we'd often spend hours discussing science stuff.
03:18Slowly, I even started liking him a little.
03:21One day, I was cleaning up a fossil.
03:23When my shirt got caught and ripped, Pierre rushed to my side and gave his shirt to me.
03:27You're bleeding.
03:28Huh?
03:28Oh, no.
03:29Dang it.
03:30Pierre hurried back with first aid, and as he was tending to me,
03:33I couldn't stop staring at how perfect he was.
03:36There.
03:37All done.
03:37Thanks.
03:38I feel much better.
03:39I mean, much better.
03:40Oh, God.
03:41You must think I'm crazy.
03:43Nope.
03:43I think you're cute.
03:45And also, I think you should go out on a date with me.
03:47Really?
03:48You do?
03:49The next day, Pierre took me out to the most amazing restaurant,
03:53and we had the best time ever.
03:54Soon after, we started dating officially, and things were perfect.
03:58That was until one night, Pierre and I were closing the museum,
04:01and my sister stormed in with some friends and started messing around with the museum artifacts.
04:05What are you guys doing here?
04:07You're always working.
04:08So we thought you could use some fun.
04:10Oh, are you the guy she keeps texting?
04:13Dude, she makes the funniest faces when she's on the phone.
04:16Like, she wants to poop, but can't.
04:18Let me show you.
04:19Can you stop embarrassing me and go to a club or something?
04:22Where's the fun in that?
04:24My sisters and their friends just ignored me as they went around taking selfies.
04:27But then, the museum security heard the noise and chased them away.
04:30I was given an earful, but at least the situation was under control and nothing was damaged.
04:35But the next morning, I spotted Tina wearing a dinosaur tooth around her neck.
04:40Oh my god, Tina!
04:41You're not supposed to take that!
04:43It's worth $40,000!
04:45Why would a rotten old tooth cost this much?
04:47Here, you can have it.
04:49I immediately wanted to leave for the museum to put the tooth back before someone noticed,
04:52but just then, the police knocked on my door.
04:55Apparently, the museum staff had seen the CCTV footage, and my sister had already been caught
05:00on tape.
05:01The twins would have been arrested for stealing, but I called Pierre and asked if his dad could
05:05help.
05:05He told me once his dad was on the museum board of directors, so I had to take a shot.
05:09He saw the video footage too, and he's really mad.
05:12I know it's a huge favor, but I'm asking, please, if he could just help me out this one
05:17time.
05:18I'll even apologize in person.
05:19Actually, there's this fundraiser that he wants me to attend.
05:22Maybe you can come along too and talk to him.
05:25That'll be perfect.
05:26Okay, I'll see what I can do.
05:27Pierre pulled some strings and the police let off my sisters, and for the first time,
05:31they were sorry.
05:32The fundraiser wasn't as bad as I thought, even though his dad was really cold even after
05:37I apologized.
05:38And soon, Pierre started asking me to all the events he got invited to, and things were
05:42exciting for a while.
05:43I enjoyed dressing up and going around with my handsome boyfriend, but between studies
05:47and work, I was getting burnt out.
05:49One evening, I didn't have anything, so I raided Tina's closet.
05:53Oh, my God.
05:54Who died and left you this hideous dress?
05:57It's yours.
05:58Ahem.
05:59Must be something I bought to give to a homeless person.
06:01Listen, kid.
06:02No matter what you wear, you'll always be a dork.
06:04Don't change too much to fit in, okay?
06:06Did you hit your head or something?
06:08Anyway, I'm off.
06:09I had no idea what Tina meant, but I was terribly late, and when I got there, Pierre was outside
06:15waiting for me.
06:16Where were you?
06:17Everyone is asking me, and why are you wearing that?
06:19Don't you have something designer?
06:21Aren't your sisters models?
06:22What's wrong with my clothes?
06:24Besides, I'm exhausted, and I'm here.
06:26Before Pierre could reply, someone told us that his dad was looking for him, and we went
06:30inside.
06:30I was standing in a corner feeling angry and tired when I spotted one of the world's most
06:35famous marine scientists, Dr. Keller.
06:38Oh my god, I'm a huge fan, sir.
06:41Your work in the space of dead turtles is groundbreaking, and that piece on how sharks
06:45are misrepresented in shark movies is amazing.
06:47You've read that paper?
06:49No one ever has.
06:50You should come by my office sometime.
06:52I'd love to.
06:53I even have something I'd like you to see.
06:55Julia, there you are.
06:57I want to make you meet someone.
06:58Before I could say anything, Pierre dragged me to the other corner of the room.
07:02What was that?
07:02I just saved you from the worst conversation of your life.
07:05You should thank me.
07:07Thank you?
07:07A world-famous scientist just invited me to his office, and I was discussing my research
07:12with him when you dragged me away.
07:13Dr. Keller is a bit of a cuckoo.
07:16He invites everyone to his office because he's bored all day.
07:19It's nothing special.
07:20Give me a break.
07:21So you think I'm not actually good at what I do?
07:23You know what?
07:24Save your breath.
07:25I've had enough.
07:26I'm leaving.
07:27And yeah, maybe we should take a break.
07:29And with that, I stormed out.
07:31Pierre tried calling me later, but I ignored him.
07:33And over the next few days, he tried everything to get my attention.
07:37He would drop cards in my backpack, leave chocolates, show up with a car full of roses,
07:41and when nothing worked, he came up with the ultimate surprise.
07:45I spoke to Dr. Keller.
07:47He's agreed to meet you next week.
07:48Get that research going.
07:49You did what?
07:50I can't believe it.
07:52Oh, thank you.
07:53Does that mean we're good?
07:55Pierre, I like you, but we belong to different worlds, and I really can't afford distractions.
08:01I understand.
08:02But at least we can be friends, right?
08:04And I can help you finish your research paper.
08:06That's the least I can do after everything you've done for me.
08:08Pierre was a smart guy, and I could really use his help.
08:12We started working day and night, and I often caught him stealing glances at me.
08:16By the time we were done, I was exhausted out of my wits.
08:19Maybe you should rest.
08:20I'll make the final changes and see you at Dr. Keller's office.
08:23You sure?
08:24That'll be amazing.
08:25And thank you for your help.
08:26Pierre kissed me lightly on the forehead, and I had butterflies in my stomach.
08:30I knew he still liked me, and I liked him too.
08:33Maybe I'd give us another shot.
08:35But right now, I had bigger fish to fry.
08:38On the day of the meeting, I was feeling really confident and showed up early.
08:41I was sitting at the reception waiting for Pierre to show up,
08:44when suddenly, I saw him leaving with Dr. Keller and my final research.
08:50Okay, I'm gonna be late.
08:51Good job on the research, Pierre, and welcome to the team.
08:54Your dad will be proud and happy.
08:56Oh, hi, Julia.
08:58Are you here for Pierre?
08:59Actually...
09:00Yes.
09:01We decided to celebrate together, if you liked my research.
09:03I wanted to say something, but I was speechless.
09:06I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach.
09:09Pierre walked toward me, but something inside me snapped, and I slapped him hard.
09:14So this is why you didn't want me talking to him at the party,
09:17and why you helped me with my research.
09:19So you could steal it and claim it as your own.
09:22Never in a million years did I think you'd be such a snake, Pierre.
09:26Crushed, I ran away as fast as I could.
09:29How could I be so stupid?
09:30Years of research and hard work gone down the drain.
09:34When I got home that day, my sisters could immediately tell something was wrong.
09:38They sat me down, and I told them everything.
09:41Ugh, why do you even care about this stuff so much?
09:44Because I do, okay?
09:45It's what I want to do in life.
09:47How would you feel if someone took away all your hard work and claimed it as theirs?
09:51We wouldn't know.
09:52No one can be as pretty as we are.
09:54Okay, I'm done with this conversation.
09:56Sorry.
09:57Wait.
09:58Sit.
09:58We know it's devastating that Pierre used you and then threw you under the bus, but that's life.
10:03Now, you can either cry about it, or you can move your butt and start from scratch.
10:08The choice is yours.
10:09Whatever you choose, we're here for you.
10:11My sisters were right for once.
10:13I couldn't let this one blow take away my whole future, so I decided to plunge myself
10:18into my studies.
10:19Pierre tried reaching out a million times, but I was done with that lying jerk.
10:24I graduated top of my class and went to Harvard.
10:27Slowly, I started building my research from scratch, and things started looking up.
10:31But for some reason, I could never completely understand or forget Pierre's betrayal.
10:36Maybe what I was looking for was closure.
10:38A year later, my sisters and I were vacationing in Costa Rica when a familiar figure approached
10:43me.
10:44Julia, is that you?
10:46Pierre?
10:46You.
10:47Take another step and I'll knock your teeth in.
10:50I just want to apologize.
10:51I know what I did was horrible and unforgivable, but I had my reasons.
10:56Really, dude?
10:57Yes.
10:57My dad is a horrible person, Julia.
11:00He told me if I couldn't show him that I can make it as a scientist, he'd have my butt
11:04kicked back to London and force me to become a politician.
11:06I thought if I got a chance to work with Dr. Keller, I could impress my dad and he'd finally
11:11let me follow my passion, so I...
11:13Backstabbed me?
11:13Stole my research?
11:14Cost me the chance of a lifetime?
11:16Yes.
11:17But if it's any consolation, I never joined Dr. Keller.
11:20I just couldn't do it.
11:21Listen, I don't care about you or your dad anymore.
11:25I trusted you and you betrayed me.
11:27Nothing you can say or do will make this right.
11:29And if you really want to follow your passion, stand up for yourself.
11:33Lying and cheating won't get you anywhere.
11:34Now, save your face and let's not talk again.
11:37Ever.
11:38But I...
11:38You heard her.
11:39Now leave.
11:40Pierre left with a pouty face and both my sisters jumped on me.
11:44Look at our baby cow, all grown up.
11:46Get off me, you two.
11:48We love you.
11:49Yeah, yeah.
11:50Love you, too.
11:52Now stop smothering me.
11:53Now stop smothering me.
12:01Now stop smothering me.
12:02Now stop smothering me.
12:04Alright.
12:05Now stop smothering me.
