00:00Hey guys, how's it going? Okay, you're probably wondering why I only have one half of an eyebrow
00:05It's just that I was waxing my eyebrows and I had a little accident
00:09But no biggie your girl's gonna pencil them in just as soon as I find my brow pencil Ruby
00:14You're gonna be late for school again. What am I supposed to use lipstick? Oh
00:19Magic marker guys, please. Don't give me that judgy. Look. I can't go to school without eyebrows. Wait, sorry. Sorry, sorry
00:26I meant to introduce myself. I'm Ruby and I live in Montana with my parents as an only child
00:30Oh before I continue, would y'all mind hitting that like and subscribe button?
00:35Sorry, my director will fire me if I don't tell you guys that anyway
00:38I live with my parents, but I'm not really close to them and I don't relate to them either
00:43It's not that mom and dad are bad parents. It's just that they're possibly the most boring people on the planet
00:49Oh, let's face it. You won't ever be a normal responsible adult you silly thing
00:53You probably wouldn't even notice if your own head fell off. Whoa rude. Also, I'm only 13 mom
00:59I don't want to think about marriage, but mom disagreed. In fact, she wanted to get me engaged right now
01:04Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating
01:06She just wanted me to meet my potential fiance hoping he'd fall in love with me and propose after high school
01:11So in eighth grade
01:13She introduced me to her friend's son Grayson who was a couple of years older than me and a triple package
01:19Handsome smart and planning on starting his own company one day. So
01:24gremlin Grayson
01:26Totally. So, um
01:28Your biceps, they're huge. I've never seen biceps that big before and not that they look bad. They look very very fine
01:36Sorry, did that sound creepy? I swear. I'm not a creep. Please kill me. Oh, I can't kill you
01:41Sorry, I really can't go to jail for murder right now. At least not until the new Wednesday series gets canceled
01:47Anyway, this has been a lovely meeting. Mr. Healthy looking biceps. Keep up the good work. Boy. That was awkward
01:53I guess Grayson won't be my future husband after all but secretly I did really want a boyfriend
01:58So that summer before ninth grade
02:00I decided to give myself a makeover a new skincare routine healthier diet and a better wardrobe
02:06Though when I was shopping at the mall for my wardrobe things got a little crazy while I was picking out dresses
02:12I also decided to get some new bras
02:14But just as I was walking into the changing room, I ran into my crush
02:17His name was Colin and I hadn't seen him all summer. He looked a million times more handsome. Hey, dude
02:25Fancy seeing you here
02:27These aren't mine. They're for my mom. Your mom likes bras with unicorns on them
02:33No, I mean what's wrong with unicorns? Do you have a problem with them? Because that's just racist
02:39Before Colin could answer that didn't exactly go well and when I got home things just got worse
02:44I found out mom's friend's son Grayson was gonna start volunteering for her company
02:49Remember that handsome snob with the enormous biceps?
02:52He wasn't exactly thrilled that we'd be seeing each other all the time at the house and at social gatherings as if I was excited
02:59About it ignore stupid handsome Grayson back to my glow-up makeover not to brag
03:04But I looked like a knockout the first week of ninth grade and everyone showered me with compliments including mom and dad
03:11Finally you cleaned yourself up a little look sweetie. Our ugly duckling has turned into a swan
03:18She looked beautiful before and she looks beautiful now. I don't get what the big deal is
03:23She just caked on ten layers of makeup to make herself look like a Barbie doll and put on flashy clothes
03:28I just rolled my eyes hearing that of course the jerk had nothing nice to say about me
03:33Well, his opinion didn't matter because the following week at school
03:36Guess who finally noticed me my longtime crush Colin even after our embarrassing unicorn bra encounter
03:43He asked me out to a movie and a couple weeks later
03:45We started dating talk about the perfect start to a girl's teenage hood and high school career Colin writes me
03:52Good morning texts and takes Instagram selfies with me
03:55I remember the olden days when I was a sad lonely girl
03:58But now my life is perfect on the night before winter break Colin took me to an exclusive cool kids party
04:04But just as I was getting ready to leave I saw Grayson waiting for me outside
04:08What the Frick was he doing here?
04:10And how did he even know where I was your parents asked me to come check on you and then drive you home
04:15You're at a midnight party with your boyfriend Ruby. Someone needs to supervise you. Who do you think you are my dad?
04:21You can do whatever you want, but I don't need any supervision. I meant to do that
04:26Anyway, I'm gonna go kiss my boyfriend now. So bye. I just hope he's available to kiss you
04:31I saw him looking pretty happy talking to some other girl a few minutes ago
04:34Yeah, because it's a crime to talk to other girls when you have a girlfriend Grayson get a life
04:40He was really starting to get on my nerves so to stick it to him
04:44I took the bus home and he had to drive all the way back to his house for nothing
04:48It served him right for being such a control freak
04:51Unfortunately, though I couldn't see Colin after the party because he was going on vacation
04:55I knew he'd be busy but a week went by and he didn't call or text at all
05:00Okay, no reason to panic couples need space. I totally get it. I had other stuff going on in my life
05:06I went to a yoga class read books painted my nails. Finally when we got back to school, I searched everywhere for Colin
05:13I didn't have much luck until I wandered into the school garden to find him kissing another girl
05:19Him Oh
05:20Ruby, sorry. I meant to tell you I'm getting back with my ex-girlfriend. We've sort of been on a break
05:26Which is why I asked you out cuz I was still getting over this precious girl. So I was just your rebound
05:32You are such a jerk. How could you use someone like that? I'm sorry
05:36You're really great and all but I just wasn't feeling those magical sparks between us, you know
05:41I just smacked him across the face and told him we were done and then to really stick it to him
05:46I texted Colin we're done three more times over text message. The truth was though. I felt really depressed about my breakup
05:54I mean, yeah, I was mad at Colin for what he did, but I was more mad at myself for believing
05:59He'd actually cared about me
06:01I distracted myself the next few days by hanging out at the pet shelter and keeping the kittens company
06:06It was exactly the heartbreak therapy I needed
06:08I was even starting to feel better until dad called me begging me to come home and help him prepare for a fancy work dinner
06:15But when I arrived at the house Grayson was already in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up
06:19I just knew my parents had told him about my breakup and he was waiting to rub it in my face
06:25I asked Grayson over to help us cook since your mom isn't home yet
06:28Yeah, and also cuz your dad told me you don't know how to cook
06:32Did you seriously start a fire trying to deep-fry ice cream?
06:36First of all, the fried ice cream disaster wasn't my fault
06:39I just happened to forget to watch the tutorial first and second
06:43I've had a really hard couple of days and I don't have the energy to handle you right now
06:48So just go away and don't talk to me for the rest of the night
06:51But you can hang out in my room if you want and use my computer if you're bored
06:54Hey, I recommend MSA videos watch them on YouTube though. Not tick tock cuz tick tocks bad for your attention span
06:59But anyway, see ya
07:01Unfortunately dad didn't let me get rid of the idiot that easily and as expected
07:06Grayson took full advantage of getting to boss me around and talk to me like I was an idiot go salt the water
07:12Don't put sugar put salt. You're not allowed to touch the knife. I don't trust you around a knife
07:17I felt just about ready to punch him until Grayson came up behind me and guided my hands in rolling the dough with his big
07:24Strong arms even made my heart rate go fast. I guess it was a good form of cardio exercise. Nice job
07:31You know, you actually don't suck at this mom was quite late
07:34But when she finally came she was with her boss and his arm was around her
07:39What was that about then at the dinner table mom and dad's boss made an announcement, excuse me
07:44May I have everyone's attention? I would like to introduce my new co-owner of the company Audrey darling
07:50Congratulations. It also brings me to my other news
07:52The two of us have decided to restart our business in Australia and we'll be moving there in a month
07:57Oh, what do you mean? We're gonna be moving in a month. No, I'll be moving. Actually. I'm divorcing you
08:03I'm just not happy with our life here and I need a change
08:06I hope you'll understand my heart stopped as I saw dad's stunned face and all the guests staring at us
08:12Many of them were strangers. I barely knew the whole thing was just this surreal
08:17Unexpected mess and fast-forward two months later. Mom was gone
08:20Dad was a wreck and I was still numb with shock
08:24I didn't exactly have time to cry and grieve though cuz I had to take over the house since dad wouldn't leave his bedroom
08:30Three guesses how that went
08:32Yeah
08:32I broke our dishwasher also our oven and killed all our houseplants cuz I forgot to water them not that I was surprised
08:39It was like mom said it was just too dumb to ever be able to take care of myself
08:43Let alone dad too one day
08:45I just couldn't take the stress anymore and literally fell asleep on the kitchen floor when I opened my eyes
08:51Grayson was staring down at me and for some reason it made me feel relieved Ruby. Are you okay?
08:56No, I'm not, you know, you don't have to do this all by yourself I can help you I'm here for you
09:02I don't want your help. You don't have to suddenly be nice to me now just cuz you feel sorry for me
09:06I know you hate me who said I hated you. I don't hate you at all all those times
09:10I insulted you. I was just teasing but I'm sorry. I guess I just don't know how to act around a girl
09:16I think is cute. Wait Grayson thought I was cute. No, that wasn't possible
09:20Perfect handsome and smart guys like him. Don't think girls like me were cute. Well, okay with my glow up
09:26I'm a little bit cute like Ariana Grande kpop cute, but my cuteness was all I had going for me
09:32I didn't have any other good qualities. So yeah, I didn't believe Grayson's words for a second
09:37But for some reason he stuck around for several days after that and basically forced me to rest and take care of myself
09:44One night I was even having cramps and he made me tea. Thanks for all this. I
09:49Really appreciate it. Just uh one follow-up question. You said I was cute the other day, right? Yeah, what about it?
09:56What do you see in me man?
09:57I mean, I know I kind of got pretty after my makeover again with you and your dumb makeover that I never even cared for
10:04Ruby you're funny. You're charming. You're interesting and hands-down the kindest person I've ever met. Why isn't that enough for you?
10:12How come you don't believe in yourself? Grayson's words really caught me off guard
10:17I didn't really have an answer for him. Well, actually I kind of did the truth is it's hard to have confidence in yourself
10:23When you're always bumping into walls losing your stuff and eating soap. Okay, calm down
10:28I've only eaten soap once and it was an accident
10:31Basically, I was in some fancy hotel and they had some tiny soap bars in the bathroom that looked like candy
10:36So I ate one I don't actually eat soap on a daily basis
10:39But you get my point right animator show the reference scene of 14 year old me making myself over that summer
10:45Remember when I felt super confident after my major glow-up. Yeah, that wasn't real confidence
10:50Real confidence isn't based on stuff like outside beauty and high IQ real confidence comes from loving yourself
10:57No matter what so I guess now it's time for makeover number two feeling good on the inside and a few months later
11:04I did start to feel a lot better and apparently
11:08Confidence is a lot more attractive than looks anyway
11:10Because one morning freaking Colin showed up at my doorstep begging me to take him back
11:15Which do you want a bouquet of roses or lilies or would you prefer chocolates a life-size teddy bear?
11:20What do you want from me? I'd like for you to get off my porch. Also. I don't like either of these bouquets
11:26I'm just not feeling a magical spark
11:29I was about to throw the flowers in the losers face when suddenly
11:33Grayson showed up behind me cuz he was already over at my house
11:36We've gotten super close over the last few months and between you and me. I've developed major feelings for him
11:43I guess that explains why I was happy when he sprung on to Colin and tackled him to the ground
11:48The boys were like animals full-on rolling into the bushes and I certainly didn't mind watching the spectacle
11:55Come on, ladies admit it who doesn't love it when boys fight over you?
11:59Finally though Colin ended up leaving and Grayson pulled me into a very pleasant hug
12:04So when do we get to have our first kiss?
12:06Maybe we can have a beach date tonight cuz I really don't want to kiss you next to loud traffic animator
12:11Hey me again. Can Grayson and I maybe have a nicer setting for our first kiss? Yeah, keep going
12:17This is supposed to be my romantic moment, dude. Oh, yeah, I like the sunset. Perfect. Thanks
12:22Anyway, I hope y'all enjoyed hearing my insane drama
