00:00Please, leave me alone!
00:02Mom ran down the dark corridor, looking for a place to hide,
00:05turning every doorknob that she came to.
00:07Finally, a door gave way, and she crouched in a corner.
00:10But it was too late.
00:11Stay away from me! Stay away!
00:13Hey, I'm Anastasia.
00:15My friends call me Anna, but my parents call me...
00:17Stay away from me! Or...
00:19Leave me alone!
00:20Okay, I was being a little dramatic at the start of the video.
00:23Mom wasn't actually scared.
00:25This is how it really played out.
00:27Mommy, can you read me a bedtime story?
00:29Please, leave me alone. Go ask your dad.
00:32Daddy, look! I was outside playing and stepped in the poopsie.
00:35No! Stay away from me!
00:38My nanny looked after me mostly because my parents were super busy with their careers,
00:42and she always called me Miss.
00:44So I thought my real name was Stay Away From Me.
00:47It wasn't until my first day of kindergarten that I found out I was wrong.
00:51And what's your name, sweetie?
00:53Stay away from me?
00:54Excuse me? What did you just say?
00:56Stay away from me!
00:58Next thing I knew, my parents and I were sitting in the principal's office.
01:01Sure, I got into trouble, but at least my parents used my name more after that.
01:05And when I was four, something amazing happened.
01:08My sister Isabella was born, and she was beautiful!
01:11Oh, I have the most beautiful daughter anyone could ask for.
01:15I was so bummed by what she said that I stuck my tongue out at her.
01:19But I got over it soon enough.
01:20I finally had someone to play with.
01:22Or so I thought.
01:24You see, Mom didn't want me near Isabella.
01:26Shoo! Go away!
01:28But one night, Isabella couldn't sleep and was screaming at the top of her lungs.
01:32I crawled into her crib and began to sing her lullabies.
01:35And soon enough, she was sleeping peacefully.
01:37I felt like the best big sister ever!
01:39But we never had a shot at getting close because of the way my parents treated us.
01:43They were less busy with work now and spent all their time fawning over Isabella and spoiling her
01:48while completely ignoring me.
01:50You know what I see in the mirror?
01:51I see two beautiful girls with unlimited potential.
01:55Uh, Anna?
01:56How long have you been standing here?
01:57I was here first, brushing my hair.
01:59You didn't even see me?
02:01They'd whisk Isabella off to the mall or spa.
02:04And one time, they even took her to Paris while I was stuck with the neighbor and her nine cats.
02:09It bothered me a lot at first, but eventually I just kinda got used to it.
02:13But my parents were slowly turning Isabella into a monster who bullied them
02:17and threw a fit any time she didn't get her way.
02:20She would try to boss me around too, but I mostly wouldn't give in.
02:23Which didn't sit too well with her.
02:25Like this one time when I was in fifth grade, I was eating spaghetti
02:28and she turned to me with a weird look in her eyes.
02:31Spaghetti and worms taste the same, don't you think?
02:33Well, what?
02:34My stomach churned when I looked on my plate and sure enough,
02:37there were worms mixed together with my spaghetti.
02:40Ew!
02:41When I told my parents, they told me it was a harmless prank.
02:45Every time Isabella did something to me, they would make excuses for her and brush it off.
02:49Even the time she cut my head out of all the family pictures.
02:53She's too young to know what she's doing.
02:55She's just having fun. Lighten up!
02:57Lighten up!
02:58The weekend before middle school, I bought this super cute outfit for my first day
03:02and I couldn't wait to put it on.
03:04But when I was getting ready, I couldn't find it anywhere.
03:06That is, until I entered the kitchen and there sat Isabella in my outfit!
03:12Isabella, that's mine!
03:14It looks better on me. I look like a doll.
03:16I rushed over to Isabella and tried to pull my outfit off of her when Mom dragged me away.
03:21Anna, what are you doing to your little sister?
03:23I want her to take off my clothes.
03:25Oh, is that what you want? You should have said it nicely.
03:28And then, she took a pair of scissors and cut herself out of the dress.
03:32Oh my God, you're such a psycho! Mom, aren't you gonna say anything?
03:36Yes, if you knew how to share your things, you could both enjoy them.
03:39But now look at what you made your sister do, Anna.
03:41I could pull my hair out.
03:43There was no winning against this brat when she had some magic spell cast on my parents.
03:47As I grew older, I just avoided my family as much as I could and faded into the background.
03:52I decided to focus on what I loved best.
03:55Singing.
03:56And I became quite good at it.
03:58But I only realized exactly how good I was when I was 16.
04:02Two months before high school started, I'd taken up a small gig at a cafe to sing occasionally.
04:06And when I was done, a stunning lady approached me.
04:09Hi, I'm Gigi. You have a beautiful voice.
04:12I'd like to sign you up as a singer.
04:14What? You want me?
04:16Yes. I could make you a star.
04:18It was an offer I couldn't refuse.
04:20I gave Gigi my address, and when she arrived at my house later that evening, my parents were quite surprised.
04:26And Iza looked so jealous.
04:28Why would you want to sign her up?
04:30Because she's talented.
04:31But her looks can be altered to look the part.
04:34What do you mean, altered?
04:36By the time my people are done with you, you won't even recognize yourself, kiddo.
04:40The following week, I went to the studio with Gigi, and I felt like I was in a dream.
04:46And after rehearsals, Gigi's makeup artists took over.
04:49And she was right.
04:50I barely recognized myself.
04:52I looked amazing.
04:54When I got home, Mom looked shocked.
04:56Oh, my God.
04:57Anna, you look stunning.
04:59My heart flipped with excitement.
05:00Did my mother just give me a compliment?
05:03As stunning as a chicken in a jumpsuit.
05:05Later that week, Mom took me shopping.
05:08In fact, over the next two weeks, Mom and I spent a lot of time together.
05:12We went to spas, dinners, and we even spent a day in Paris.
05:16I picked up a few things there for Isabella.
05:18But when I went to give it to her, she dumped everything on my head.
05:21You think you're better than me because of this music game?
05:24Your days are numbered, witch.
05:26Did my baby sister just threaten me?
05:28I was too busy to think too much about what Isabella said.
05:31I worked hard and released my first album.
05:34And by the time I started high school, I was already famous.
05:37OMG, her skin is flawless.
05:39She's such an amazing singer.
05:42I can carry your books around.
05:43But life just had to give me lemons.
05:46And this lemon was Mandy, the meanest and richest girl in school.
05:50She transferred to our school the year before and was the most popular girl around.
05:54But clearly, I dethroned her now because I had way more fans and social media followers than her.
06:00And she just couldn't handle it.
06:01Others may have forgotten how ugly you really are, but I'll never forget.
06:05And I'll make sure the others don't either.
06:07I tried to ignore her and just enjoy my newfound fame.
06:10But of course, Mandy did everything to ruin it.
06:13This one time after gym class, she filled my body wash with oil.
06:16Another time, she filled my bag with live frogs that went crazy in the science lab.
06:21She was a lunatic.
06:22And then one afternoon, while walking through the mall, I saw Mandy and Isabella together.
06:27Mandy was shoving a dress into Isabella's hand and looking over her shoulder.
06:31Wait, was she trying to get Isabella to shoplift?
06:34I stormed over to them immediately.
06:36Mandy, what are you doing with my sister?
06:38Mind your business, Anna.
06:39She's my friend and way better than you.
06:42Issa, she can't be that good if she's trying to get you to steal clothes.
06:46You're coming with me.
06:47But Issa bit my arm hard and ran off.
06:49Stay away from my sister, Mandy.
06:51But after that, I'd see the two of them together all the time.
06:54If they wanted to run their own Anastasia hate club, then fine.
06:57I had better things to focus on.
07:00Like my very first concert that Gigi has arranged to boost album sales.
07:03On the night of the concert, my family came to support me and I was so excited.
07:08I grabbed the mic and stepped onto the stage confidently.
07:11And I was totally owning it.
07:13Everything was going great until someone from the crowd screamed and pointed at the chandelier above me, which was falling down.
07:19One of my guitar players threw himself at me and managed to get me out of the way seconds before the chandelier crashed on stage.
07:25Before I could even process what had happened, Gigi whisked me away to get me checked up at the hospital.
07:30But as I was leaving, I spotted Mandy's face in the crowd.
07:33I couldn't get rid of the thought that she had something to do with this incident.
07:37But would she go this far?
07:39She was acting like a lunatic lately, but I had no proof.
07:42And it would be useless confronting her.
07:44A few days later, I came across the opportunity of a lifetime.
07:48There was one spot open in the most prestigious music college and they'd be visiting the school in three months to hold auditions.
07:55I just had to get that scholarship.
07:57You can drool on that spot all you want, but it's mine.
08:00Gosh, why was the world always putting Mandy and me against each other?
08:04She played the piano and she was good.
08:07Like Beethoven good.
08:08I couldn't let her win this.
08:10I threw myself into practice.
08:12After rehearsals with Gigi, I'd stay back in the studio and practice for my big day.
08:16One evening, while I was walking home from practice, I was passing by the bakery when I saw Mandy stuff two loaves of bread under her jacket and sneak out of the bakery.
08:24Mandy was the richest girl in school.
08:26Why was she stealing food?
08:28I followed Mandy until she went into the bad part of town.
08:31The houses were small and shabby and I watched as she entered one of them.
08:35What on earth?
08:36I needed to know what was happening.
08:38So I walked up to the door and was about to knock when I heard a familiar voice.
08:42Isabella?
08:43I told you already.
08:44I'm done with this.
08:45I'm not doing your homework, shoplifting, or going out of my way to be your puppet.
08:49Isabella was making Mandy do stuff?
08:51Feeling shocked, I pulled out my phone, opened the door by an inch, and started recording.
08:56What I heard next made my head spin.
08:58You'll do as I say, or I'll spill your filthy little secret all over the internet.
09:02I am so sick and tired of this.
09:04Tell everyone, I don't care.
09:05Ha!
09:06You, the oh so popular Mandy, not caring what people think?
09:10Are you really comfortable with people knowing that your father is rotting in jail for fraud, while you and your mother are left with nothing and living in this rat hole?
09:18I find that hard to believe, given how hard you've been trying to keep up appearances in school.
09:22I've done everything you've asked me to do since you read my diary and discovered my secret.
09:27You made me tamper with the chandelier at Anna's concert.
09:30She could have gotten seriously hurt.
09:32I should have never agreed to do it.
09:34It's been giving me nightmares.
09:35But if you don't do as I say, I'll tell everyone what you did.
09:39Oh yes, I recorded it, and then you'll go meet daddy in jail.
09:42Do your worst, Isabella.
09:44I don't care.
09:45I watched in horror as Isabella picked up a bat and raised it at Mandy.
09:49I flung open the door and lunged at Isabella, not the bat from her hand, and pinned her to the ground.
09:54Get off, you ugly jerk!
09:56Did you completely lose your mind?
09:58What have I ever done to hurt you?
09:59How could my own sister hate me so much?
10:02Because you overshadowed my life.
10:04You should have never been in the picture, and I'd do anything to bring you down.
10:08Isabella lunged at me with a scream, but the commotion had attracted the attention of some neighbors
10:13who came running in and held Isabella.
10:15Someone called the police, who took her away kicking and screaming.
10:18I was still reeling with shock when Mandy turned to me.
10:22You helped me?
10:23Why?
10:24We may have our differences, but I couldn't let Isabella blackmail you or hurt you.
10:28Thanks, Anna.
10:29No problem.
10:30That's what friends are for.
10:31Friends?
10:32Are we friends?
10:33Maybe we could try.
10:34Crazier things have happened.
10:35My parents' world turned upside down when I showed them Isabella's video.
10:39They decided to get Isabella evaluated, and they were told that Isabella had some problems.
10:44She was taken to a facility to get the help she needed.
10:46I've been pointing out Isabella's issues, but you've always just let them slide.
10:50If we'd gotten her help earlier, things might have been different.
10:53Anna, we're sorry for not treating you both fairly.
10:56We're starting to see how our actions have affected you both.
10:59We want to do better. Can you forgive us?
11:01It's gonna take some time, but maybe going to therapy together could help us improve as a family.
11:06Hearing this, my parents nodded their heads in agreement.
11:09At school, Mandy and I even smiled at each other.
11:12Finally, the day of the big audition for the scholarship arrived, and I saw Mandy backstage looking super nervous.
11:18I don't think I can do this.
11:19You can and you will break a leg.
11:22Thanks. You too.
11:23Oh, I'm not auditioning. I thought I should give you a fair shot.
11:26Oh, because you think you're better than me and I have no chance against you?
11:30No, because I think you'll beat my butt, and I'd rather not be humiliated.
11:34And you need this more than I do.
11:36I'll be cheering for you, though.
11:37Mandy gave an amazing performance that received a standing ovation, and she won the spot.
11:42I learned that showing kindness to a rival can turn a bitter battle into an unexpected friendship.
11:48motivation changes against Christ.
11:49I'll be Thanh to see some of you as well as an impossible team across from the field.
11:52Let's begin.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Feel misploraquise to your own business query.
11:58That, you need one of the things we want to convince them, or even others is not a useful recipe.
12:03To try and fool out, they really find沒關係 to your own place.
12:05Grey can attract strangers or anything.
12:07This is azig excitement.
12:08Thank you, as you as have a tremendous message.
12:09It's acorrect.
12:10Hello, we want to appreciate it.
12:12What can you imagine?
12:13It's a beautiful day worth while they are running about Armstrong something.
