00:01My mom is a grummie-winning diva, my dad is a Hollywood Oscar-winning actor, and my younger brother is
00:07a pop sensation.
00:08But I've always kept a low profile, until the day my classmates mocked me as an unwanted bastard, and I
00:15finally snapped.
00:17Dad, Mom, Noah, the school is having an open day today. Do you want to come?
00:21Emma Hart, why didn't your parents show up to the parent-teacher conference again? Did you even tell them about
00:26it?
00:26Ms. Parker's voice was sharp as she chewed me out in her office, but I didn't know what to say.
00:31I told them, they just couldn't make it. Work.
00:34What kind of work keeps someone so busy that they can't show up for three years?
00:37No parent-teacher conferences, no open house, not once!
00:41I froze. The truth is, my parents have always wanted to come to school. I was the one who wouldn't
00:47let them. Why?
00:48I looked up at Ms. Parker's computer screen. Her desktop wallpaper was a photo of Celeste Hart, global pop icon.
00:55She's been dominating the charts since her debut album dropped over two decades ago, and her throne remains untouched.
01:02Yeah, that's my mom.
01:04Then there was the movie magazine on the desk next to hers.
01:07Adrienne Cole, Hollywood legend. Three-time Oscar winner, box office king.
01:12The man middle-aged women across America have been swooning over for years.
01:16Yeah, that's my dad.
01:18And that still wasn't even all of it.
01:20Just outside the office door...
01:21Did you guys see Noah Cole's performance last night?
01:24Oh my god, he's unreal!
01:26I've had his new song on repeat since midnight.
01:28They were talking about Noah Cole, the hottest teen idol in the country right now.
01:33Started as a child star, blew up into a global phenomenon, breaks the internet basically every other day.
01:40Yeah, my younger brother.
01:41Now tell me, with a family like this, you think I can just casually let them show up at school?
01:47If they actually came, the fans would swarm the building and block every single entrance.
01:53Front gates, back gates.
01:54It would be chaos.
01:58Miss Parker, of course, had no idea what I was dealing with.
02:01Her voice softened a little.
02:03Emma, I don't know what's going on at home, but you're an excellent student.
02:06I'm sure your parents are proud of you.
02:08Have them come visit the school.
02:09I have always been the type who folds when people are nice to me.
02:12The moment she said it that way, I couldn't bring myself to say no.
02:16I'll try.
02:16I said, keeping it vague.
02:18Back in the classroom, I'd barely sat down before I heard Madison Blake's shrill voice cutting through the air.
02:23So your parents bailed on the parent-teacher conference again, Emma?
02:25Do they even care about you?
02:27I looked up at Madison.
02:28She was pretty, but it was the kind of pretty that was about 30% natural and 70% effort.
02:34So when people started saying that she and I were both the most popular girls in school,
02:38even though I barely put in any effort at all, it drove her insane.
02:42I wasn't planning to engage, but she kept going.
02:45Or maybe you're just embarrassed because your parents are too embarrassing to show up?
02:48That's not right, Emma.
02:49Even if your dad works in some mine out in Montana, he's still your father.
02:54Earlier in the school year, the teachers had tried calling my parents.
02:57My dad was on location shooting a film out in Montana at the time.
03:01The phone signal kept cutting out, and because I'm so low-key about my life,
03:05Madison started spreading rumors that my family was broke and that my dad was a mine worker.
03:10People believed it.
03:11I just stared at her, completely calm.
03:13Madison, has your face been looking a little puffy lately?
03:16Bullseye, she shrieked, instantly forgot all about mocking me.
03:20She scrambled to find a mirror, frantically checking her reflection.
03:24Satisfied, I grabbed my bag and went home.
03:28I got home to find three people sprawled out on the living room couch.
03:32My mom was doing a face mask.
03:34My dad was watching a movie channel.
03:36My brother was playing video games.
03:38I just stood there.
03:40I'm sorry, Ms. Parker.
03:41I lied to you.
03:42My family isn't busy at all.
03:44My parents have been at the top of the industry for so long, they've been financially free for years.
03:50As for my brother, my parents say he's still growing, so they won't let his agency overwork him.
03:56When you look at it that way, I'm pretty sure I'm actually the busiest person in this house.
04:01The moment my dad saw me walk in, he immediately put on a wounded tone.
04:06Parent-teacher conference is over?
04:07Honestly, it's so sad.
04:09I don't even get the ants to attend my own daughter's parent-teacher conference.
04:13Unlike me, my dad has always wanted to show up at school.
04:17In his own words, he's dying to hear a teacher praise him for having such an accomplished daughter in person.
04:23Too bad I've always said no.
04:25To really sell it, he even wiped the corner of his eye dramatically.
04:29I stared at him.
04:30Dad, with acting that over the top, do you really deserve those three Oscars?
04:35My brother immediately jumped in to fan the flames.
04:38Yeah, sis?
04:39Are you embarrassed by us or something?
04:42Because every time I ask you to play video games with me, you say no.
04:46I'm not embarrassed, I said, exasperated.
04:49You guys are just way too famous.
04:50I don't want to deal with unnecessary drama.
04:52My dad just snorted, unbothered.
04:55Fine, forget that for now.
04:56Emma, Martin Reed is putting together a new teen movie, and he wants you for the lead.
05:00Are you interested?
05:02The Martin Reed my dad was talking about is a legendary Hollywood director and my dad's best friend.
05:09He's watched me grow up since I was a kid.
05:11He's always telling me I have a face made for the big screen and has been trying to drag me
05:16into acting forever.
05:17I've lost count of how many times I've turned him down.
05:20Not interested.
05:21I want to focus on school first.
05:23Acting can wait.
05:24I headed for the stairs.
05:25Enough.
05:26The fact that you and I produced a daughter who can actually study this hard is already a miracle.
05:31Stop distracting her from applying to the Ivy League.
05:34The next day, I went to school like usual.
05:36But the second I walked into the classroom, I could tell something was off.
05:40I asked around and found out that the director, Martin Reed, needed fresh young faces for his new movie
05:46and was coming to our school to hold an open casting call.
05:49I remembered what my dad had mentioned the night before and casually asked.
05:53Are they casting the female lead?
05:55Every single one of them looked at me like I'd said something ridiculous.
05:59Are you kidding?
06:00It's for the fifth female rule.
06:02But it's Martin Reed!
06:04Even landing a fifth lead in one of his films is basically a one-way ticket to Hollywood.
06:09The audition was being held in the school auditorium.
06:12Basically every girl in the class sprinted over there.
06:14I was the only one who stayed behind in the classroom, working through practice tests.
06:19But of course, the second I finished a practice paper,
06:22Ms. Parker caught me and told me to deliver some paperwork to the music department.
06:26So I grabbed a stack of vocabulary flashcards and headed toward the auditorium,
06:31quizzing myself as I walked.
06:34Madison, even director Martin complimented you.
06:37That role is definitely yours.
06:39Oh my God!
06:41Are you seriously about to break into Hollywood?
06:44Madison couldn't keep the smugness off her face.
06:47Then she looked up and saw me.
06:49Well, well.
06:50If it isn't our grade's top student.
06:52I thought you looked down on the entertainment industry.
06:54What are you doing at an audition?
06:57I'm here to drop off paperwork for Mr. Lewis.
07:00Madison didn't believe me for a second.
07:02Save the act.
07:03If you want to audition, just say so.
07:06But I'm telling you now, don't waste your time.
07:09Director Martin personally complimented me just now.
07:13That role is mine.
07:15I couldn't help but glance at her, not for the reason she thought.
07:19I was just genuinely stunned that someone could say fifth female lead
07:23with the same reverence as best actress at the Oscars.
07:27Madison completely misread my expression and assumed I was jealous.
07:31That only fueled her further.
07:33Emma, I know you're envious, but envy won't get you anywhere.
07:37Your family's broke, you dress like a total nobody,
07:40and no matter how hard you grind, you'll never catch up to me.
07:44She hadn't even finished her sentence when a surprised voice rang out from behind her.
07:49My heart dropped.
07:51I'd figured the auditorium would be so packed, there was no way I'd run into Uncle Martin.
07:56Otherwise, I never would have come.
07:58But today of all days, my luck completely ran out.
08:02Emma, is it really you?
08:05God, how long has it been since I've seen you?
08:09The entire auditorium went dead silent.
08:13Every face froze in shock.
08:15Madison's eyes nearly popped out of her skull.
08:17It took her a long moment to find her voice.
08:20Director Martin, you know Emma?
08:23Martin beamed.
08:24Of course.
08:25Her dad is...
08:26Her dad is, uh...
08:29My business partner.
08:31Business partner?
08:32Everyone was lost.
08:34I jumped in before anyone could ask follow-ups.
08:37My dad works in the film industry.
08:39I mean, an actor technically works on set, not a lie.
08:43Everyone naturally assumed my dad was some behind-the-scenes crew guy.
08:47But even that was enough to blow their minds.
08:50Wait, so Emma's family is in film and TV?
08:52And she's been this low-key about it?
08:54Unlike some people who act like they own Hollywood because their aunt fetches coffee on a soundstage.
08:59That comment hit Madison square in the face.
09:03Her expression flickered, but there was something else clearly weighing on her more.
09:07Director Martin, even if you know Emma's dad, I hope you'll keep the casting fair.
09:12Just because she's a family friend doesn't mean she should get handed the role.
09:15She was clearly terrified I'd snatched that fifth female lead away from her.
09:20But Uncle Martin just let out a loud laugh, like she'd told him the funniest joke he'd ever heard.
09:26Fifth female rude?
09:27What are you even talking about?
09:29Emma would never audition for a fifth lead.
09:31I've been offering her the female lead for years, and she's turned me down every single time.
09:38Silence followed the auditorium again.
09:40Madison's jaw dropped so hard, it looked like it might unhinge.
09:44Just then, someone called for Director Martin to continue the auditions.
09:47I handed off the paperwork to Mr. Lewis and turned to leave.
09:50But as I passed Madison, I paused and glanced at her.
09:53Madison, you said you were auditioning for which role again?
09:55Her face went white.
09:57Before she could even open her mouth, I nodded slowly.
10:00Oh, right. The fifth female rude.
10:03I let out a thoughtful sigh.
10:04That really does sound like an incredibly important part.
10:07I didn't bother to look at her face turning green.
10:09I walked out of there in a very good mood.
10:11From that day on, my life at school completely flipped upside down.
10:15Suddenly, every girl in my class was aggressively friendly.
10:18Some would sidle up and hint around, asking if my dad could get them jobs on set.
10:23Others would beat around the bush, digging for celebrity gossip.
10:26They hounded me so much, my head started pounding.
10:29And honestly, it only confirmed what I already knew.
10:32Hiding who my family really was had been the right call.
10:35Right now, all they knew was that my dad worked on film sets, and they were already this unhinged
10:40about it.
10:40If they ever found out who my parents and my brother actually were, they'd lose their
10:45minds completely.
10:46A few weeks later, the school's spring showcase rolled around.
10:49This year's theme was a student fashion show.
10:52Everyone was supposed to donate a few pieces of clothing, mix and match them as a group,
10:56and then have students walk the runway.
10:58But the day of the event, disaster.
11:02A massive rainstorm over the weekend had flooded the first floor of the building, and the storage
11:08room where our class had stashed all the clothes, completely soaked.
11:12Almost everything was ruined.
11:13Madison completely lost it, and started screaming at everyone.
11:17What is wrong with you people?
11:18Why would you put the clothes on the first floor?
11:21Did anyone even use their brain?
11:23I couldn't take it anymore, and cut her off.
11:26Madison, the most important thing right now is to fix the problem, not stand around
11:30blaming people.
11:32Fix it how?
11:33We've got barely three hours before the show starts.
11:35Where are we supposed to get that many good-looking outfits?
11:37Our class is going to be the laughingstock of the entire school.
11:39All around us, our classmates looked completely defeated.
11:42I looked at them and felt a little bad.
11:45After thinking for a second, I spoke up.
11:47What if I borrow some clothes from my mom's closet?
11:49My mom isn't just a global pop icon.
11:52She's also the fashion world's darling.
11:53Designers fall over themselves to dress her for red carpet.
11:57Her walk-in closet is basically a small boutique.
12:00But Madison actually laughed out loud the moment she heard me.
12:04Emma, what are you even saying?
12:06Your mom is some middle-aged woman?
12:08Her clothes would just make us look even more ridiculous on that runway.
12:11The other students, though...
12:12Emma, does your mom have a lot of clothes?
12:14If she's got enough, we'll take mature and stylish.
12:16Let's just get through this event.
12:17She's got a lot of clothes.
12:18I said honestly.
12:19It's just...
12:20Just what?
12:22I voiced my one concern.
12:24All of my mom's clothes are designer.
12:27Isn't that going to be a little too over the top?
12:30Some of those dresses and gowns cost absurd amounts of money.
12:34Madison rolled her eyes so hard, it was a miracle they stayed in her head.
12:38Designer?
12:39Among the clothes that got ruined, I donated two pieces of berry cob.
12:43Does your mom even own anything on that level?
12:44I shook my head honestly.
12:46No.
12:46My mom's closet is mostly couture.
12:48There's barely any ready to wear, let alone last season's Bal Chiaga.
12:53The other students looked a little disappointed, but they nodded anyway.
12:57We have no choice but to try.
12:59Emma, please.
12:59I called my mom right away.
13:01She agreed without a second thought.
13:03No problem.
13:04I made her promise at least three times to pick something low-key before I finally hung up.
13:09I stood with my classmates outside the auditorium, waiting for whoever was bringing the clothes.
13:14I'd assumed it would be my mom's assistant, or maybe our family driver.
13:18When I saw a familiar Porsche pulling up, my stomach dropped.
13:22My brother, Noah Cole, the biggest teen idol in America, stepped out, flashed me a dazzling grin.
13:28Hey sis, I brought the clothes for you.
13:32Dead silence.
13:34The kind of eerie, unnatural silence that makes your ears ring.
13:38Then came the screams.
13:39The kind that nearly tore the roof off.
13:41Noah Cole!
13:43Oh my god, it's actually no cold!
13:45Ah!
13:46Zoe, can I get an autograph?
13:47The girls snapped out of their date and lunged at him like a new kid.
13:50Calm down everyone, please calm down.
13:52I'm just here to drop off some clothes.
13:54He popped the trunk.
13:55It was stuffed with clothes.
13:56Without another word, he shoved armfuls of clothes into my classmates' hands and said quickly.
14:02Anyway, I'm kind of busy.
14:03See you later sis.
14:03He threw me a wave, dove back into the car, leaving me standing there, alone.
14:08Emma.
14:08One girl recovered first, staring at me with wide eyes.
14:12What did Noah Cole just call you?
14:13The other snapped back to reality all at once.
14:16Yeah, he called you sis the second he got out of the car.
14:19And he said it again before he left!
14:21Every pair of eyes locked onto me like I was being held at gunpoint.
14:24Their faces said if I didn't give them an explanation right this second, they'd devour me alive.
14:29I could feel cold sweat rolling down my back.
14:31My brain went into overdrive.
14:33How the hell was I supposed to explain this?
14:34Tell them Noah was my cousin on my mom's side?
14:37On my dad's side?
14:38Which one would cause less damage?
14:40My head was about to combust.
14:41And then Madison let out a sharp, icy laugh.
14:44Emma, I really didn't see this coming.
14:46I didn't know you were that kind of crazy fangirl.
14:51I blinked.
14:52What?
14:54Don't play dumb.
14:55Be honest.
14:56You run a major fan account for Noah Cole, don't you?
14:59That's why he calls you sis.
15:00She said it through gritted teeth.
15:02That has to be it.
15:03Your dad works in the entertainment industry, so he probably pulled some strings to get you
15:08closer to Noah than a normal fan could ever get.
15:11She was right.
15:12These days, when a celebrity calls someone sis, it doesn't have to mean actual sister.
15:17Young idols use it all the time with their top fans and fan account admins.
15:22I looked up at Madison, and for the first time in my life, genuine gratitude.
15:27Oh my god.
15:28Madison, thank you.
15:29Thank you for handing me the perfect excuse.
15:32Madison clearly did not understand the depth of emotion in my gaze.
15:37Emma, why are you staring at me like that?
15:39Don't tell me you're about to claim you're Noah Cole's actual sister.
15:44Don't make me laugh.
15:46Your last name is Hart.
15:47His is Cole.
15:48At least figure out your own lie before you open your mouth.
15:51My parents' wedding was a national sensation.
15:54Practically everyone knows about it.
15:56But very few people outside the industry knew that Noah was actually their son.
16:01That was mostly my brother's doing.
16:03When he first got into the entertainment business, he made a decision right from the start.
16:07He was never going to ride on our parents' fame, so he kept the family background locked
16:12down tight.
16:13And because of that, it never once crossed Madison's mind, or anyone else's, that my
16:18brother and I simply took different last names.
16:21One from our mom, one from our dad.
16:25I immediately jumped onto the lifeline she'd thrown me.
16:28No, no, Madison.
16:29You're absolutely right.
16:31I do run a big fan account for Noah.
16:33Everyone finally seemed to accept this as a reasonable explanation.
16:36They started bombarding me with questions about which fan account I ran.
16:40I had no answer for that, so I just gave them a vague smile.
16:44I'm keeping that a secret for now.
16:45But then someone connected another dot.
16:48Wait, Emma.
16:49Even if you're a major Noah Cole fan, why would he be delivering clothes for your mom?
16:53The air went still again.
16:54Everyone's head swiveled back toward me.
16:57Yeah, he said he was bringing clothes from your mom.
16:58Since when does an idol do personal deliveries for a fan's mother?
17:01My smile froze solid on my face.
17:04I had no choice but to bullshit my way through.
17:08Because my mom is also a fan of his.
17:10So our families kind of know each other.
17:12She probably asked him to do it as a favor.
17:15Even to my own ears, that sounded insane.
17:17I could still see suspicion written all over their faces.
17:20So I quickly changed the subject.
17:23Anyway, the show is about to start.
17:24We should really check out the clothes.
17:26That snapped them back to the crisis at hand.
17:28Everyone dove into the rack of clothes my mom had sent.
17:32And the second they did, the shock hit all over again.
17:36Oh my god, Emma.
17:37Your mom's clothes are absolutely stunning.
17:39They're not just pretty.
17:40These look seriously expensive.
17:41What do you mean look expensive?
17:43Look closer.
17:43This is X-Ronelle.
17:45Wait, is this Veientino?
17:47And this isn't off the rack.
17:49Is this actual hot couture?
17:50There were a few girls in the class who knew their brands.
17:54And the moment they recognized what they were holding, the gasps started flying.
17:58Madison's face went white.
18:02That's impossible.
18:03Emma's dad is just some crew guy on a film set.
18:06There's no way her mom can afford this many expensive clothes.
18:08She started frantically digging through the dresses,
18:11clearly hoping to find proof they were knockoffed.
18:14Oh my god, this dress is unreal.
18:17And it looks so familiar.
18:19Wait, I've got it.
18:20Isn't this the gown?
18:23Celeste Hart wore it on the red carpet two days ago?
18:26Yes!
18:27That Dior haute couture piece.
18:30I'm pretty sure it's literally one of a kind.
18:33What is it doing here?
18:34Once again, every pair of eyes in the room landed on me.
18:38I was about to fall apart on the spot.
18:40Mom, I specifically told you to keep it low-key.
18:43Why on earth did you send your just-off-the-red-carpet couture gown?
18:47I was in the middle of a full internal meltdown
18:50when Madison's eyes flickered and she spoke up again.
18:53Emma.
18:54Is it possible that your mom is actually-
18:57My heart literally skipped a beat.
18:59Is it possible that your mom is actually Celeste Hart's stylist?
19:03I blinked.
19:05What?
19:06It has to be.
19:07Who else but a stylist for a superstar like Celeste Hart would have access to this many couture gowns?
19:13And somehow, the rest of the class immediately ran with it.
19:17That actually makes so much sense.
19:19Emma's dad already works in film and TV, so it wouldn't be weird if her mom was in the industry
19:24too.
19:25No wonder her mom knows Noah Cole.
19:27She's probably styled the industry before.
19:29Oh my god, we hit the jackpot!
19:31These are actual clothes worn by actual celebrities.
19:36I didn't say a single word.
19:38They had built the entire logical chain all by themselves.
19:42I couldn't help but turn to look at Madison again.
19:44Flooded with gratitude for the second time that day,
19:47Madison caught my gaze and her skin felled.
19:50Emma, why do you keep looking at me with that weird expression?
19:54Nothing.
19:55I spoke with complete sincerity.
19:57I just suddenly realized you look especially beautiful and especially smart today.
20:01And I meant it.
20:02If it weren't for Madison's truly galaxy brain leaps of logic,
20:06I would have had absolutely no way to keep my mom and brother's real identities buried any longer.
20:12After they finished convincing themselves, no one questioned my family situation again.
20:17Everyone excitedly grabbed the clothes my mom had sent and ran off to prep for the spring showcase.
20:22After a long, exhausting day, I dragged myself home feeling like I could collapse.
20:28The moment I walked through the door, my brother was the first one to bolt over.
20:32Sis, I didn't mess things up too badly for you today, did I?
20:37I smacked him on the head.
20:38You have the nerve to ask,
20:40why were you the one delivering the clothes?
20:43And the second you got out of the car, you called me sis.
20:47Then you ran off faster than anyone.
20:49Uh, I ran because your classmates are terrifying.
20:53Clutching his head with a wounded expression.
20:55And the clothes thing, mom asked me to do it.
20:57I turned toward the couch where the global pop icon who face masks 24 hours a day was sitting.
21:04My assistant and the driver both had things come up today.
21:08That's why I sent Noah.
21:09By the way, did your classmates figure out who I am?
21:14No, they think you're a celebrity stylist.
21:16Oh, I see.
21:18Mom, you really don't need to look that disappointed.
21:22After the spring showcase, my status at school completely blew up.
21:26Sure, I had still managed to keep my mom and brother's true identities under wraps.
21:31But the fan account admin Noah Cole calls sis, combined with the daughter of Celeste Hart's
21:37stylist, was more than enough to send every girl in school into a frenzy.
21:41Everywhere I went, someone was trying to talk to me.
21:45It was driving me insane.
21:47And I swear to God, all I ever wanted was to be a top student in peace.
21:51It also made me more certain of one thing.
21:54Before I got into my dream university, I absolutely could not let anyone find out who the three
22:00celebrities in my family really were.
22:02But just as I made that resolution, trouble came knocking.
22:05Ms. Parker called me to her office and said my dad needed to come to school.
22:09My face changed instantly.
22:11Why?
22:12Obviously because of your college applications and graduation exam arrangements.
22:17Your grades have always been consistent.
22:20But by protocol, a parent still needs to come in for a pre-graduation consultation.
22:29She looked at me, her tone earnest.
22:31And honestly, your parents have barely shown up at this school for years.
22:35Home visits have never worked out either.
22:37I'm genuinely concerned.
22:38So I've decided to at least have your father come in.
22:42Don't worry.
22:43I've already reached him.
22:44He said he'd make time.
22:45Hearing that didn't make me feel better.
22:47It made me panic more.
22:49Because my parents both use stage names in the industry.
22:52The names registered in the school records have never been the two famous names the public
22:57knows.
22:58That's exactly why Ms. Parker, even though she had their contact info, had never once suspected
23:03who they were.
23:04But if my dad actually showed up at school in person, there was no way it would stay hidden.
23:09I tried to say something else, but Ms. Parker was clearly done negotiating.
23:14She shooed me straight back to class.
23:16The second I got to my seat, I messaged my dad.
23:19Dad, did my teacher call you to come to school?
23:21He replied almost instantly.
23:23Relax, sweetheart.
23:24I know what you're worried about.
23:26Everything's going to be fine.
23:28Seeing that message, I finally let out a small breath of relief.
23:32If he said that, then he'd probably come up with some excuse to get out of it.
23:36I put my phone down and went back to my practice problems.
23:39But not long after, our class president burst through the door, face full of panic.
23:44Emma, your dad's here.
23:48My pen dropped onto the desk.
23:50My dad's here?
23:51Yeah.
23:52The class president's expression was impossible to read.
23:56He's in Ms. Parker's office, right now.
23:58Everything went dark.
24:00What the hell?
24:01My dad told me not to worry.
24:03Why did he still show up?
24:05I practically stumbled into the office.
24:07And then I saw the man standing beside Ms. Parker's desk.
24:11I froze solid.
24:13The man was wearing sunglasses and a face mask.
24:16That wasn't all.
24:17In the middle of a heat wave, he had a thick scarf wrapped around his neck and a baseball cap
24:23pulled low.
24:24His entire face was covered so tightly that even though I share his blood and have lived with him my
24:31whole life,
24:31it took me several seconds of staring to confirm.
24:35Yes, that was him.
24:36That was my dad.
24:38Adrian Cole, Hollywood legend.
24:40And suddenly, I understood why the class president had looked so horrified when she told me,
24:46Your dad's here.
24:47She hadn't recognized who he was.
24:50She was terrified because a man dressed like a deranged stalker had just wandered into the school.
24:56Forget the class president.
24:58Ms. Parker's expression was already looking a little off too.
25:02But my dad?
25:03His psychological fortitude was genuinely staggering.
25:06Wearing that entire ridiculous getup, he sat there perfectly composed, listening intently while Ms. Parker analyzed my academic performance.
25:16Mr. Hart, you don't need to worry too much.
25:18Emma is one of the most consistent and outstanding students in her grade.
25:21She's maintained the top ranking.
25:23Academically, there are no major issues.
25:25For a student like Emma, what we're really focused on now is her emotional state and her ability to stay
25:30steady under pressure.
25:33As Ms. Parker went through her praises one by one, even though my dad's face was buried under a mask,
25:40sunglasses, and a scarf until only a sliver was visible,
25:44I could feel the pure, smug satisfaction radiating off him.
25:49All these years, he was finally hearing a teacher praise his daughter in person.
25:54When it was over, my dad left thoroughly satisfied.
25:57After seeing him off, Ms. Parker looked at me like she wanted to say something, but couldn't quite find the
26:03words.
26:04In the end, she just sighed and patted my shoulder.
26:07Emma, I think I finally understand why you've never wanted your father to come to school.
26:12But don't worry, I'm sure he still loves you.
26:14I stared at her.
26:16Great.
26:16My dad has officially been labeled a weirdo.
26:19Unfortunately, my dad was completely oblivious to this.
26:23When I got home that evening, he looked at me with a smug grin.
26:27So, sweetheart, your dad's disguise was pretty successful today, wasn't it?
26:33Nobody recognized me at all, right?
26:35I was silent for a few seconds before I finally spoke, exhausted.
26:40Dad, you didn't have to do all that.
26:43You could have just told the teacher you were busy.
26:45I meant that sincerely, but to my surprise, my dad's eyes suddenly went red.
26:51But...
26:52His voice caught.
26:52But I really wanted to hear about my daughter's life at school, just like any ordinary father would.
26:58I couldn't say anything.
26:59Looking at him like that, even though a part of me knew at least half of it was pure performance,
27:04I still softened.
27:05Forget it.
27:06Maybe after graduation exams are over, I'll finally give him his official title.
27:13Graduation exam week arrived fast.
27:15My parents and my brother all wanted to come with me.
27:18But this time, I said no again.
27:20This time, it's not just about me.
27:21I said seriously.
27:22This time, it's not just about me.
27:24It's about all the test takers.
27:26Dad, mom, Noah, you guys are way too famous.
27:29If you cause a commotion and it messes me up, fine.
27:32But what about the other students?
27:33My dad tried to push back.
27:34Then what if we wear disguises again?
27:36Like last time I met your teacher?
27:37I shook my head without hesitation.
27:39What if someone recognizes you?
27:40To be safe, you shouldn't come.
27:42I had a point.
27:43My parents and my brother all reluctantly agreed.
27:45I went to the exam site alone.
27:47That's when I realized, aside from me, almost every other student had brought their entire family.
27:52Take Madison for a second.
27:54Her entourage was absurd.
27:55Ants from both sides, uncles, grandmothers.
27:58They were all there, holding bouquets and bags, making sure everyone knew exactly how many people she had.
28:04But no matter how many people showed up, in the end, the one walking into that exam room was still
28:09just you.
28:10When the last test was finally over, the school arranged buses to take us back to campus.
28:15The parents would meet us there, pick up their kids, pack up dorm rooms, take graduation photos, and then summer
28:20break officially started.
28:21I had barely gotten on the bus when I heard Madison's sarcastic lines.
28:24Some people really are so pitiful.
28:27It's bad enough no one shows up for parent-teacher conferences, but no one even came for graduation exams.
28:36She'd obviously noticed I was alone the whole time.
28:39She just hadn't had time to mess with me while exams were going on.
28:43Now that they were finally over, making me her entertainment was clearly her top priority.
28:48I was going to ignore her, but she just kept going, each word uglier than the last.
28:54So what if your mom is a celebrity stylist and your dad works on a film set?
28:59They still don't care about you.
29:01Or wait, Emma, are you actually your parents' illegitimate love child?
29:07The dirty secret they can't ever show lotting their faces for?
29:11When I heard that, my head snapped up.
29:14I fixed her with a cold stare.
29:16Madison, say that again.
29:19She flinched.
29:20I saw it.
29:21My look clearly shook her.
29:23But there were too many people on the bus, and someone as obsessed with saving face as Madison?
29:28There was no way she'd back down.
29:31I said you're a bastard.
29:32Otherwise, why would your parents never dare to show up?
29:36Slap.
29:37Before she could finish, I was already on my feet.
29:40My palm cracked across her face.
29:42Emma!
29:43How dare you hit me!
29:45How dare you!
29:47You ran your mouth?
29:48Don't expect me to be polite.
29:52Tears of rage welled up in Madison's eyes.
29:55I was just telling the truth.
29:56Fine, then explain it.
29:57Why have your parents never dared to show their faces?
30:00I looked at her, expressionless.
30:02All these years, I kept my parents' identities a secret because I wanted to finish school in peace, handle my
30:09applications, get through my exams.
30:11But now exams were over, and I suddenly felt like there was no point in hiding anymore.
30:16Honestly, after hiding for so many years, I was tired.
30:20With that thought, I suddenly smiled at Madison.
30:23Madison, haven't you always wanted to meet my parents?
30:26Fine.
30:27I'll grant your wish.
30:28I pulled out my phone and dialed home.
30:31Dad, Mom, I'm done with exams.
30:34There's a parent meet and greet thing at school.
30:36Are you free to come by right now?
30:38After I hung up, I couldn't be bothered to look at Madison's face anymore.
30:42I sat back down and went back to checking my answers.
30:45But the other students couldn't contain themselves anymore.
30:49Emma, if your mom's coming, can you ask her to get me Celeste Hart's autograph?
30:53My mom is obsessed with her.
30:55And your dad, he works in the film industry, right?
30:57Could he get me Adrian Cole's autograph?
30:59He might have worked with him before or something.
31:02I almost laughed, but I nodded anyway.
31:05Yeah, no problem.
31:05Madison, meanwhile, still couldn't help herself.
31:09So what if they are just two behind-the-scenes staffers?
31:11What's there to be so proud of?
31:13She sniffed.
31:14When I make it in the industry, maybe your parents will end up working for me.
31:22Director Martin's fifth female lead role had gone to Madison in the end.
31:26So lately, she'd been carrying herself like a star in the making,
31:29her ego practically floating into the stratosphere.
31:32I ignored her.
31:33She'd find out soon enough exactly how ridiculous her words were.
31:37The bus pulled up to the school gates.
31:39But for some reason, we got stuck.
31:42The whole class pressed their faces to the windows, craning their necks.
31:46What's going on?
31:47Why are there so many people crowded at the school entrance?
31:49I looked up too.
31:51Had my parents already arrived?
31:53But when I actually saw the crowd, I paused.
31:56Why were they all teenage girls?
31:58If my parents had come, I'd have expected the crowd to be mostly middle-aged men and women.
32:03That's their core demographic.
32:06I was still frowning in confusion when a wave of screams erupted outside.
32:10Noah Cole!
32:11It's really Noah Cole!
32:13Oh my god, he's even better looking in person than in his videos!
32:17I went completely still.
32:19What was going on?
32:20Why was my brother here too?
32:22Before I could even process it,
32:24Noah, standing in the center of the crowd of the head, spotted me with his sharp eyes.
32:29He immediately flashed that signature grin.
32:32Sis!
32:32He shouted at the fans around him.
32:35Excuse me, I need to find my sister.
32:37The fans around him were clearly stunned silent by that word, sister.
32:42Dazed, they instinctively parted to make way.
32:45My brother ran straight up to me and shoved a massive bouquet into my arms.
32:49Congrats on finishing your exam, sis.
32:53Why are you here too?
32:54I had only called our parents.
32:56You think I'd miss a scene like this?
32:58I was about to speak, but Madison beat me to it.
33:01Emma, you really are something.
33:03A fan account admin, and on exam day your idol personally delivers you flowers?
33:08If someone didn't know any better,
33:10they'd think there was something inappropriate going on between you two.
33:12The second those words left her mouth,
33:14the expressions on the faces of my brother's fans shifted.
33:18Instantly, the admiration from before was gone.
33:21Now it was pure hostility, which made sense.
33:24Earlier, when they thought I was just a fan account admin,
33:27they'd been excited.
33:29But seeing Noah personally bring me flowers?
33:32Of course people would start speculating.
33:34These days, scandals about idols having secret,
33:37shady relationships with their top fans were everywhere.
33:40The kind of scandal that could destroy a young idol's career overnight.
33:44My expression went cold.
33:47I opened my mouth to fire back.
33:49But before I could, my brother spoke first.
33:52What fan account admin?
33:55She's my actual sister.
33:59The silence that fell was so complete, I could have heard a pin drop.
34:04Everyone's eyes went impossibly wide, stunned, speechless.
34:07Madison's smirk froze solid on her face.
34:10Actual, actual sister?
34:13Who's your actual sister?
34:14My brother looked at her with obvious impatience.
34:17Emma, who else would it be?
34:19You?
34:19She still refused to give up.
34:21She made one last desperate grasp.
34:24But, but...
34:25Your last name is Cole.
34:27Hers is Hart.
34:29So what?
34:29Noah looked at her like she was an idiot.
34:32One took dad's last name, one took mom's.
34:34Is that not allowed?
34:35After that, he was clearly done wasting energy on Madison.
34:39He grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the school building.
34:42Come on, sis.
34:43Mom and dad are already waiting for you in your classroom.
34:45As I walked with him, I couldn't help worry.
34:48Noah, now that you've admitted I'm your sister,
34:51aren't mom and dad about to get exposed too?
34:53My plan today had only been to reveal my parents.
34:56As for Noah, I hadn't called him at all,
34:58specifically to avoid exposing his connection to them.
35:02But the moment he showed up, he blew his own cover.
35:05My brother didn't care at all.
35:07He just waved it off.
35:08It's fine.
35:09I'm plenty famous now.
35:10I've already proven everything I need to prove.
35:13People find out who my parents are?
35:15So what?
35:16We reached the teaching building.
35:18Then we got blocked again.
35:19Mainly because my brother's popularity is just that massive.
35:23And news spreads insanely fast online.
35:26The whole walk from the school gate to the teaching building took maybe a few minutes.
35:31But in that time, the fact that he'd shown up at my school
35:34and publicly admitted I was his biological sister
35:37had already spread across the entire campus.
35:41The power of an A-list celebrity is no joke.
35:46Practically every girl in the school had rushed out.
35:49The area below our building was packed solid, completely blocked off.
35:53Everyone was screaming Noah's name.
35:55And plenty of people started shouting my name, too.
35:58Emma, starting today?
36:00You're my sister, too!
36:02Yeah, please, let me be your sister-in-law!
36:04I stared at them.
36:05Watching this scene, I felt nothing but overwhelming gratitude
36:09that I hadn't revealed my brother's identity before graduation exams.
36:14Otherwise, there would have been zero chance of me taking my tests in peace.
36:18With the crowd way too big to handle,
36:21my brother had to call in the bodyguards and assistants who'd been stationed at the school gate.
36:26He looked at me, genuinely apologetic.
36:29Sis, I'm not coming upstairs with you.
36:31If I do, your classroom will probably get crushed.
36:34A very reasonable concern.
36:35I waited until his bodyguards and assistants had him safely surrounded
36:40before heading upstairs with my classmates.
36:42As we climbed the stairs,
36:44my classmates were still in a state of extreme, barely contained hysteria.
36:49Emma, you're unbelievable!
36:51You're Noah Coles' actual sister,
36:53and you hid it from us this whole time!
36:55Seriously!
36:56And you lied and said you were just his fan account admin.
36:59Sorry, I just wanted to focus on school and peace before.
37:03We're not mad!
37:04Just tell us.
37:05What are your parents' standards?
37:07Daughter-in-law for a daughter-in-law?
37:08I want to marry your brother.
37:09Hearing them bring up my parents made my heart skip nervously.
37:13I laughed a dry laugh.
37:15If you want to know, just ask them yourself in a minute.
37:17Oh, right!
37:18Your parents are here today, too!
37:21Speaking of which,
37:23Noah's been in the industry for years and never revealed his family.
37:26I've always wondered what his parents looked like.
37:28With a son that good look, his parents definitely can't be bad.
37:31While my classmates were excited,
37:33Madison looked quick.
37:34She had barely accepted that Noah was my brother,
37:37then seized another chance to attack me.
37:39So what if your brother's a celebrity?
37:41Emma, your brother's a star, but your parents aren't.
37:44Why have they never come to school all these years?
37:47In the end, they still don't care about you.
37:48She clearly meant to fight me to the end.
37:51I ignored her and kept walking.
37:53But something felt wrong.
37:55It was between classes, yet every office was empty.
37:59Where were the teachers?
38:00When I reached our floor, I saw why.
38:02The hallway outside our classroom was packed with teachers, parents, and students,
38:07all craning to look inside.
38:09Almost the entire faculty was there.
38:11They were buzzing.
38:12Oh my god, it's really Celeste Hart.
38:15She's even prettier in person.
38:16And Adrienne Cole?
38:18How is he that handsome in real life?
38:20My classmates froze.
38:21What?
38:22Did they say Adrienne Cole and Celeste Hart?
38:24Why are they at our school and in our classroom?
38:27It no longer looked like a parent meeting, but a fan event.
38:30Celeste, can I get an autograph?
38:32Some photo?
38:33Adrienne, I've been your fan for ten years.
38:35Can you video call my wife?
38:36Watching these usually serious adults flushed with excitement, I thought middle-aged fans
38:41were no less intense.
38:43And leading the charge at the very front of the fandom stampede was, very obviously, Ms. Parker.
38:51Ms. Parker, my mom's die-hard fan, was so excited she could barely speak.
38:56Celeste, I'm just so happy seeing you is just...
38:58She trailed off.
38:59My mom smiled gently.
39:01Thank you, teacher.
39:02Being thanked by her idol nearly made Ms. Parker faint.
39:05Then Madison pushed past the teachers and parents and rushed to my dad.
39:09Blushing, she said sweetly,
39:11Hello, I'm Madison Blake.
39:12I'll play Sophie in director Martin Reed's new film.
39:15Hello, 18.
39:16I heard you'll make a special appearance, too.
39:18I hope I can learn from you.
39:19Since she was entering the entertainment industry, she was clearly trying to flatter my dad.
39:23In front of him, she looked nothing like the girl who bullied me every day.
39:27Yeah, I know who you are.
39:29You know me?
39:30Did director Martin mention me?
39:32Classmates looked at her enviously.
39:34You bully my daughter at school every day.
39:37Of course I know who you are.
39:39Your daughter?
39:40Yes.
39:42Our daughter.
39:43We may not come to school often, but we know what's been happening.
39:46I hear you've made a habit of bullying our Emma.
39:48Is that right?
39:50Madison turned deathly pale and stared at me.
39:52Everyone looked at me, too.
39:54Even Ms. Parker, in shock.
39:55Walked to my parents, linked arms with them, and smiled.
39:59Dad.
39:59Mom.
40:00Thanks for coming.
40:01If you hadn't wanted to keep a low profile and study in peace,
40:05your mom and I would have come years ago.
40:07Wait, so Emma's parents aren't just some random film industry workers?
40:09They're Adrienne Cole and Celeste Hart themselves?
40:12Oh my god.
40:13So when director Martin said Emma's dad was his business partner,
40:15he was literally talking about Adrienne Cole.
40:19And her mom isn't a stylist.
40:21She's Celeste Hart herself.
40:25My god.
40:25That family lineup is just insane.
40:28It's not just the parents.
40:30Don't forget, Emma also has an A-list little brother.
40:33Right.
40:34Noah Cole is Emma's biological brother,
40:36and Emma is Adrienne Celeste's daughter.
40:37So Noah is Adrienne Celeste's biological son?
40:40This is insane.
40:41I saw someone post this theory online before,
40:43and I thought it was total nonsense.
40:44It's actually true.
40:46Even the teachers and parents at the door
40:47had completely lost their composure.
40:50God, I've been teaching my idol's daughter this entire time.
40:53My kid has been going to school with my goddess's child.
40:56I need to post this right now.
40:57Amid all the screaming and chaos,
40:59only one person's face was whiter than paper.
41:01Madison.
41:02She stood frozen in place,
41:04her shoulders trembling like she might collapse at any second.
41:07Madison, haven't you always wanted to meet my parents?
41:11Well, you've met them now.
41:12Satisfied?
41:13Madison jolted, snapping back to reality.
41:16She stared at me,
41:17barely suppressing the jealousy and resentment burning in her eyes.
41:21But the next second,
41:22she forced a smile onto her face and looked at me.
41:24Emma, everything I said before,
41:26I was just joking around.
41:28Look, I'm about to work with your dad on a film, right?
41:31All that little stuff from before?
41:34Let's just forget about it, okay?
41:38I almost laughed out loud,
41:40working with my dad on a film?
41:42She landed a fifth female lead,
41:43and my dad was just doing a brief cameo.
41:46She really knew how to make herself sound important.
41:48I was still trying to think of how to respond without sounding petty,
41:52when my dad spoke first.
41:53You're mistaken.
41:54He looked at Madison, face completely blank.
41:57I had dinner with Martin last night.
41:59I happened to mention how you've been bullying Emma at school.
42:02He's already decided to replace you.
42:03I looked at my dad, and a wave of pure satisfaction washed over me.
42:08I'd almost forgotten.
42:09My dad is actually even more vindictive than I am.
42:12Everyone in the class knew how much that role meant to her.
42:15The moment she heard the word,
42:16replace, her voice started shaking to her.
42:18No, no, Mr. Adrienne, there's been a misunderstanding.
42:21Replace her voice.
42:22Before she could finish, my mom cut in, calm and even.
42:25It's not just that film.
42:26I've already made some calls as well.
42:28No one in this industry will want to work with you going forward.
42:30Her tone was perfectly level.
42:32You couldn't even detect real anger in it.
42:35I'm actually doing this for your own good.
42:37With a personality like yours, if you really entered this industry,
42:40you'd eventually get yourself into serious trouble.
42:42Better to give up now.
42:43I almost burst out laughing right there.
42:47When it came to the art of speech,
42:49no one did it like my mom.
42:50Maximum devastation delivered like an act of charity.
42:53After dropping those words,
42:55my parents completely ignored the now bloodless Madison.
42:58They turned away and were immediately surrounded by a crowd of parents.
43:01How on earth did you raise a daughter this outstanding and this academically brilliant?
43:04Ah, this topic.
43:06My parents had probably been holding this one in for years.
43:09Today, they finally got their chance to show off properly.
43:12By the time they'd answered all that the sun was nearly setting,
43:15I headed downstairs with my parents to find my brother,
43:17who had also spent the entire day signing autographs and taking photos.
43:21All three of them were completely exhausted,
43:23but I could tell every single one of them was deeply, genuinely happy.
43:27I was happy, too.
43:29All right, let's go home.
43:30The setting sun stretched the four of our shadows long across the ground.
43:34I looked down at those four silhouettes,
43:35and only one thought filled my heart.
43:37I am, probably, the luckiest person in the world.
