00:00I was getting ready to attend a ridiculously fancy dinner with my parents.
00:08My scalp hurt since mom made me wear my hair in a really tight bun.
00:12And my long, stupid dress was covered with so many sequins, I felt like scratching my skin off.
00:17Remember, you are to speak softly, chew quietly, and only take small, ladylike bites.
00:23And when you talk, don't use words like, um, literally, hashtag, it makes you sound stupid.
00:30They continued giving me etiquette instructions like police officers.
00:34And as always, their harsh tone made me nervous.
00:37When we entered the restaurant, things took a turn.
00:39I noticed this boy at the dinner table, and he just wouldn't stop staring at me.
00:43He was cute, sure, but when he immediately sat down next to me, I felt uncomfortable.
00:48Wait, I'll introduce myself first.
00:50I'm Noelle from Utah, and I have the meanest and strictest parents ever.
00:55You'd think coming from a rich family of socialites would be fun, but for me, it's the opposite.
01:00Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
01:02I tried to change seats, but everyone was already settled, so I politely asked mom to switch with me.
01:08No, I want you to get to know that boy.
01:11Your father and I were hoping you two could get married in a couple of years.
01:14Of course, you wouldn't be allowed to actually date him until college, but he comes from a very impressive family.
01:20Throughout the dinner, I learned the boy's name was Graham, and his aunt was an important politician.
01:25My parents fawned over him, and I thought he was plain boring.
01:30So I texted my BFF Star to come and help me get out of this.
01:33A half hour later, Star ran inside, shrieking.
01:37Noelle, come help me!
01:38I just got bitten by a poisonous spider!
01:41I can call you an ambulance.
01:43Don't tell me how to handle my spider bite, jerk!
01:46With that, Star yanked my arm and led me outside.
01:49I couldn't stop thanking her for rescuing me, but Star looked annoyed.
01:54You better be thanking me!
01:55I interrupted my date with Thornton for this.
01:57You are so freaking needy sometimes!
02:00I looked over to see Star's new boyfriend waiting for us in a car.
02:04He and Star had only gone out on one date, but he was already smitten with her.
02:08My parents wouldn't even let me have a boyfriend till college.
02:10And as usual, I felt jealous of Star.
02:13In fact, I've been jealous of her ever since we met in preschool.
02:16She was prettier than me, she had more friends, and even though we both loved to sing,
02:21Star had the voice of an angel, while I couldn't carry a tune.
02:25She also had the world's sweetest parents.
02:28They didn't make much money, but they loved Star to bits.
02:31At least I had my mansion to keep me happy.
02:33But it was all I had.
02:34One day, I was doing my homework when Mom came in and said Star was waiting for me downstairs.
02:39She says she needs to talk to you urgently, but I told her she has two minutes tops.
02:43I'm sick of her popping by all the time.
02:45Her poisonous spider outburst cost us that important dinner.
02:49I was relieved Mom didn't blame me for that.
02:52But when I met Star at the door, my mood changed.
02:54I just came by to tell you that I won't be able to hang out for a while.
02:58Okay, how come?
03:00Because I just got a record deal.
03:03Some music producer heard my songs on YouTube and he wants to sign me.
03:07So I'm gonna be really busy recording my album, meeting fellow pop stars.
03:12Wow, if you think about it, I'm living your dream.
03:18So don't call or text me these coming weeks.
03:20I felt like I'd been slapped in the face ten times.
03:24I told Star I was happy for her, but I didn't really mean it.
03:27For the next few weeks, I went with my parents to more dinners and parties while feeling bored out of my mind.
03:33And then one morning, things took a crazy turn.
03:36I got a phone call from Star's dad, who said he had horrible news.
03:40Star had gone missing.
03:42I immediately drove to her house, where Star's parents showed me the note she had left.
03:46Don't come after me.
03:48I kept checking in with her parents over the next few days, but the police hadn't made much progress.
03:52Then one day, he called me over and told me something strange.
03:57Noelle, listen carefully.
03:58Nobody can know that Star is missing.
04:00She just got a recording contract, and we can't afford to lose the money from that.
04:04What are you talking about?
04:06Your freaking daughter is missing, and you're thinking about her music contract?
04:10That's just demented.
04:11Everyone in town should be on the lookout for Star.
04:14Star's dad assured me that he'd hire a private search team to look for her.
04:18But in the meantime, he still needed the money from her recording contract.
04:22You see the way we live, honey?
04:24The three of us share a one-room apartment.
04:26This contract could change our lives.
04:28That's why we need you to pretend to be Star.
04:31She doesn't start recording for a couple of weeks, and we should find her by then.
04:35You just need to make a few public appearances.
04:37And don't worry.
04:38We're telling the school that she's transferring.
04:41I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
04:43I was about to tell them, no way.
04:45But they both started to cry and told me that this was for the best.
04:49So, I finally gave in.
04:51The first step was my disguise.
04:53On my way home, I bought a wig and colored contacts.
04:56Luckily, Star and I had a very similar build and facial structure.
04:59So, hopefully, the disguise would be enough.
05:02Star's parents also lent me her clothes and schedule.
05:05And step two was making sure my parents wouldn't know about my secret appointments.
05:09So, I told them I was joining the physics club, which would have practices every day after school.
05:15And thankfully, they bought it.
05:16Thank God that was out of the way.
05:18Now it was time for my first appointment as Star.
05:21I was supposed to meet her new boyfriend, Thornton, at a restaurant.
05:24I waited nervously as Thornton approached me.
05:26I'd never been on a date before, and it didn't help that Thornton looked like a Greek god.
05:31Star?
05:32Is that you?
05:32You look different.
05:33Like, your face is bonier than I remember.
05:35And your nose is way longer.
05:38Okay, that's enough.
05:39My face doesn't look any different, babe.
05:42You probably just don't remember it that well, since we've only met twice.
05:46You're probably right.
05:47My bad.
05:47I'll make it up to you by ordering you some tea, sweet cheeks.
05:50You sound like you have a cold.
05:52Did he just insult my voice?
05:54Throughout the date, I discovered that even though Thornton was attractive,
05:57he was also the most annoying chatterbox on earth.
06:00He especially wouldn't shut up about this YouTube channel he liked called My Story Animated.
06:06MSA is so dope.
06:08I literally watch it all the time.
06:09Oh, did you know they're also on TikTok?
06:11Because TikTok is really bad for your attention span.
06:14I'd suggest you watch MSA on YouTube.
06:16It's probably better quality.
06:18By the end of our day, I felt like I needed a 10-year nap.
06:22Then as we were walking, Thornton pulled me close to him and kissed me.
06:26My stomach exploded with butterflies.
06:29You are something else, babe.
06:31I already feel like I'm in love.
06:33I was too shaken to speak as he walked away.
06:35I felt horrible for kissing my best friend's boyfriend.
06:38He'd totally taken me by surprise.
06:40Next time, I'd have to tell him I had a mouth sore or something.
06:43For the next few days, I met with the music producers, made appearances, and went over
06:48my recording schedule.
06:49I was still worried about Star, but I secretly loved living her life.
06:53One afternoon, I went to a cafe to change out of Star's disguise, but as I was taking off
06:57my wig, I saw someone watching me.
07:00I screamed when I realized it was Graham.
07:02Noelle, is that you?
07:04Why are you wearing a disguise?
07:06What the heck are you doing in here?
07:07Uh, I think you're in the boys' bathroom.
07:10Seriously, why are you in disguise?
07:12And why are you wearing a necklace that says S-T-A-R?
07:16Oh, crud.
07:17I was gonna have to tell him, or he'd probably report me to my parents.
07:20So I told Graham everything, but begged him to keep his mouth shut, and he surprisingly
07:25agreed.
07:26You're in a difficult situation.
07:27But don't worry.
07:28I'll help you get out of this as soon as possible.
07:30We can even do our own secret search for your friend.
07:32I didn't exactly want to go on any secret mission with him, but he looked like an excited
07:37puppy, and I didn't want to get on his bad side.
07:39So when nobody was home, the two of us snuck into their apartment one night to see if Star
07:44had left any clues.
07:45We didn't have much luck until I bumped my elbow against a painting, and it fell down.
07:49To my horror, I saw a taped picture of me behind the painting.
07:53Star had drawn a mustache on me and wrote a note at the bottom.
07:56I hate this ugly, worthless, spoiled witch.
08:00She's only good for her credit cards and the food she feeds me at her four-story palace.
08:05Good thing she didn't notice the money I stole from her wallet.
08:08I then saw several hundred-dollar bills taped to the poster.
08:12I felt numb with rage.
08:14All these years, Star had just liked me for my money?
08:17She is such a snake.
08:19I have literally never done anything to her.
08:21I know.
08:22We're gonna find Star and confront her.
08:24I don't want to look for her anymore.
08:25Leave that to her search team.
08:27But aren't you worried about her safety?
08:29I didn't answer him.
08:30I just went home and felt my anger bubble like lava.
08:33If Star didn't want her perfect life, then I was more than happy to take over.
08:37That week, I made friends with three different celebrities, bought lunch for her parents,
08:41and went out every single night with Thornton.
08:44And even though he was the most obnoxious guy on Earth, I made sure to kiss him as much as possible.
08:49One night, I decided for the first time in my life to stay past my curfew.
08:54And when I arrived home, my parents were ballistic.
08:58Physics club, my butt.
08:59You young lady are up to something else.
09:01I wasn't born yesterday.
09:03Obviously, I'm not at any physics club.
09:06I'm just enjoying my life for once, like any normal teenager.
09:10I'm turning 18 next month, and I'm not gonna let you run my life anymore.
09:15Mom and Dad screamed at me and threatened to ground me for a month, but I wouldn't let them.
09:20Finally, I went to bed, and I felt a weight lifted off my chest, like I was a new person.
09:26The next day, Graham called me several times, but I didn't answer.
09:30I didn't know him anything.
09:31Then finally, he showed up at my house.
09:34Noelle, I know you're mad at Star, but I found something about her the night you ran out.
09:38She left a clue on her balcony.
09:40How many times do I have to tell you she's not my problem anymore?
09:44So you just don't care at all what's happened to her?
09:46Are you some kind of sociopath?
09:48You don't even know if she's alive.
09:50You know what?
09:50I don't even think you're mad about the stuff she did to you.
09:53You want to steal Star's life from her.
09:55I bet a part of you even wishes she's missing for good.
09:58Graham stormed out before I could answer.
10:00I decided to take a walk, but I couldn't get his words out of my head.
10:04Deep down, I knew they were true, even though I was too ashamed to admit it.
10:08I stopped by Star's place on the way to check for the clue Graham told me about.
10:12But when I arrived, I saw hundreds of people and reporters there.
10:15And Star's parents were in tears.
10:18Some boy told her parents about Star being missing, and now it's all over the news.
10:24And we're in trouble because we asked you to disguise yourself as Star.
10:28The company took away her recording contract, Noelle.
10:30We told you not to tell anyone about this.
10:33I felt horrible as everyone crowded Star's parents, blaming them for everything that had happened.
10:38Then suddenly, I remembered that Star had left a clue on the balcony.
10:42I slipped inside the apartment, and on the balcony, I saw an empty fish tank with a note inside.
10:47Fish out of water.
10:49On the back was a drawing of a mountain with a crown on top of it.
10:52And then it hit me.
10:53Star was at a famous Utah park called King's Peak.
10:57And she'd circled the top of the mountain in red marker.
11:00I immediately told the police, and they said they'd give me a ride so I could help find her.
11:04But unfortunately, Thornton insisted on tagging along.
11:08Could this day get any worse?
11:10Man, I can't believe I was dating you this whole time.
11:13I knew something was a little off because I pick up on things quickly, not to brag.
11:18But man, that was evil what you did to Star.
11:20I mean, sure, you kiss way better than her, but thank God I don't have to deal with this anymore.
11:25It took us three days to hike to the top of the mountain.
11:28And when we arrived, Star was lying down peacefully.
11:31But when she saw us, she jumped.
11:33You found me? I didn't expect anyone to find me.
11:37Well, I saw your clue inside that fish tank, so I solved your riddle.
11:41Wow, congratulations.
11:43You're almost as smart as you are selfish.
11:45I saw pictures on Instagram of you making out with my boyfriend, you witch.
11:50At that second, Star slapped me across the face and tackled me to the ground.
11:54Oh, cat fight, baby.
11:57Shut up already, Thornton.
11:58You are literally the most annoying person ever.
12:01I only dated you for revenge anyway.
12:03I pulled Star aside so I could talk to her alone.
12:06And I told her everything that had happened.
12:08How her parents forced me to be her.
12:10And how I discovered the money and poster behind the painting.
12:13Which was the only reason I'd gone out with Thornton.
12:16He really is such a pain.
12:17And he's so freaking obsessed with me too.
12:19Look, I'm sorry about the stuff I wrote about you and that I stole your money.
12:24The truth is, I've always been jealous of you.
12:26Your fancy life was just handed to you on a gold platter.
12:30And I always had to share a bed with my parents and eat stale food every day.
12:34Wow, you were jealous of me?
12:37I never would have expected that.
12:39Star, I am so sorry.
12:41I've been so blinded by my own problems that I never even thought of giving you money for bed or fresh food.
12:46It's okay.
12:47I would have gotten it from that stupid recording contract anyway.
12:50To my shock, Star had told me it was her parents that got her the contract and she'd never wanted it.
12:56It was just too many work hours and pressure from having to support her family.
13:01That's why I ran away.
13:02I left that clue, hoping my parents would get the message and find me to apologize.
13:07But it was you, Noelle.
13:08I know we've both done awful things to each other.
13:11But can we maybe start over?
13:13I hugged Star tight and told her I'd convince my parents to buy her family a house and everything else they needed.
13:19But the best part of all?
13:21Star finally dumped stupid Thornton on the ride back home while he was pouting.
13:25I got a phone call from Graham who actually apologized.
13:29I shouldn't have lashed out at you the way that I did.
13:31And I definitely went too far by exposing you.
13:34Actually, I'm glad you did it.
13:36It was for the best.
13:36And what you told me was true.
13:38I realized how selfish I'd been.
13:41And now, Star and I made up.
13:42So, thank you.
13:44Okay.
13:45I won't bother you again.
13:47I mean, the only reason we even met is because your parents forced us to meet.
13:50And even though I think you're cute, you don't owe me anything.
13:54I know.
13:54But you've grown on me.
13:56How about we meet for dinner?
13:57I promise this time, we won't invite my parents.
