00:00My life in high school was perfect.
00:02I was the fastest runner on my high school track team, a style icon and a whiz with gadgets.
00:07Yeah, what can I say?
00:08I'm just a girl with many talents.
00:10I had really supportive, adoring parents, and to top it all off, the best boyfriend
00:15in the world, Devin.
00:16It sounds like I'm bragging when you say it all out loud, but I'm just stating facts.
00:20Besides, like most good things, my perfect life didn't last forever.
00:24Hi everyone, I'm Lorelai, but you can call me Lori.
00:26Please like and subscribe to hear how my perfect life spiraled out of control and what I did
00:31to fight back.
00:32Ugh, can you two stop being so cute?
00:34I can, but Lori can't.
00:36That's like asking the sky to stop being blue or the most beautiful diamond to stop sparkling
00:41or...
00:42When Devin first transferred to our school six months ago, I wrote in my diary that I
00:46had the biggest crush on the new guy, and as fate would have it, I bumped into him at
00:50a laptop repair shop the very next day, where the repairman was charging him an arm and
00:54a leg for a minor job.
00:56Excuse me, I couldn't help eavesdropping.
00:58Okay, I was totally trying to, but this guy's ripping you off.
01:02$2,000?
01:03For what?
01:04Uh, my laptop just isn't switching on, and it has important stuff.
01:08Can I give it a go?
01:09I tried a few different things, and something worked.
01:13Oh my god, you're amazing.
01:15Can I take you out to dinner?
01:16I've, uh, kinda had a crush on you anyway.
01:19See what I mean?
01:20I'm just so lucky.
01:21We started dating, and soon enough, we were inseparable.
01:23But one day as we walked to class, Devin suddenly stopped, and when I looked to see
01:27why, I saw a new girl flashing this flirtatious smile at Devin and waving at him.
01:33Devin?
01:34Do you know her?
01:35Uh, no.
01:36Why would I know her?
01:37She's waving to someone else.
01:38We're late.
01:39Come on.
01:40All day, Willow, the new girl, was like our annoying little shadow who kept staring at
01:43Devin and wouldn't even look at me.
01:45It was so annoying, and I was planning to confront her soon.
01:48But then, at the end of the day, everything changed.
01:51I spotted Devin and Willow talking, and I hid behind a wall to listen.
01:54I told you, the answer is no.
01:56I can't go back.
01:57I left that world behind forever.
01:59But the agency needs you.
02:01Please.
02:02I can't do this without you.
02:03If you do this, I'll never contact you again.
02:05I promise.
02:06Okay, fine.
02:07Let's meet at our old spot.
02:08But listen, Willow.
02:10After this, we're through.
02:11Old spot?
02:12And just this morning, he said he didn't even know her.
02:14What a liar!
02:15Willow walked off, and I jumped in front of Devin, making him shriek like a little girl.
02:20Lori, how long have you been here?
02:22Long enough.
02:23Look, it's not what you think.
02:25She's, um, my dentist.
02:26She needs to check my teeth one last time.
02:28Oh, save it, Devin.
02:30You lied to me before, and you're doing it again.
02:32Go have fun with Willow, because I'm done.
02:35Devin called after me, but I just kept walking.
02:38All day, Devin kept trying to get in touch, but I ignored him.
02:41I was so angry.
02:42A week later, as I walked home from school, Devin popped out of a bush, looking like a
02:47hot mess.
02:48Lori, please wait.
02:49I'm sorry.
02:50Devin, hear me out.
02:51Only if you don't tell me stupid lies.
02:53Fine.
02:54You want the truth?
02:55Okay, here goes.
02:56Lori, I used to be a spy before I transferred here.
02:58Willow was my partner, and she wants me to go on a mission with her.
03:01A high school spy?
03:03I said no more stupid lies!
03:05I swear.
03:06I'm telling the truth.
03:07The agency needed someone our age to investigate a teacher who was secretly a criminal, so
03:12they recruited Willow and me.
03:13The operation was so successful that they made us agents and sent us on more missions.
03:17I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
03:19But it was for your own protection.
03:21You have to trust me.
03:22Okay.
03:23If that's the truth, then take me on your mission with Willow so I can see for myself.
03:28I can't.
03:29It's way too risky.
03:30I'm sorry, but I won't do anything that puts you in danger.
03:32Please, just stay out of this.
03:34He kissed me on the forehead and left, but if he thought I was just gonna sit back and
03:38believe him so easily, he was so wrong.
03:41So when I spotted Devin and Willow meeting under a cherry tree, I decided to follow them.
03:46Willow almost saw me, but at the last second I ducked out of sight.
03:49Phew, that was close.
03:51This spy stuff isn't so hard.
03:52But just then, I felt a hand grasp my wrist.
03:55When I spun around, I was totally shocked.
03:57It wasn't Devin.
03:58It was some random dude with pitch black hair and the most amazing eyes I'd ever seen.
04:04You need to be more careful.
04:05Devin isn't who you think he is.
04:07Um, yeah.
04:08I kind of figured that out already, but thanks.
04:10No, I mean he's not really a special agent anymore.
04:14He's a criminal.
04:15And who are you?
04:16Why should I believe you?
04:17I'm Chase.
04:18I used to work with Devin at the agency, but six months ago, he disappeared at the same
04:22time as a big art heist, and we think he's involved.
04:25We're close to finally arresting him, but I need your help.
04:28My help?
04:29I'm not a spy.
04:30And Devin's my boyfriend.
04:31I may be mad at him, but I wouldn't do anything to hurt him.
04:34Devin is dangerous.
04:35By helping me, you could be saving others.
04:37Think about it.
04:38If you're in, meet me here after school tomorrow.
04:40My head was spinning.
04:41I didn't know who or what to believe anymore.
04:44Spies?
04:45Criminals?
04:46What's next?
04:47Aliens?
04:48The next day at school, I approached Devin in the courtyard.
04:50He didn't look like a criminal, but maybe he was good at fooling people.
04:54Hey, are you still mad at me?
04:56What?
04:57For lying to me for six months straight?
04:59Totally over that!
05:00I know.
05:01I'm sorry.
05:02But the agency swore me to secrecy.
05:03I really did want to tell you everything.
05:05I love you, Lori.
05:06He took my hand, and my heart fluttered the same way it did when we touched.
05:10How about we go to your favorite ice cream shop after school?
05:13That sounds...
05:14Just then, Devin's phone buzzed.
05:15He tried to put it away, but before he could, I saw the message.
05:19You were right to ditch your clueless girlfriend.
05:21Meet me later.
05:22It had to be Willow.
05:23That witch!
05:24Sorry, I can't today.
05:25I have a photo shoot.
05:27They, uh, want to model the new Barbie after me.
05:30Who's they?
05:31The Barbie people.
05:32I told you.
05:33Okay, bye!
05:34I didn't care if Devin believed me or not.
05:35If those two were gonna team up, then I'd make my own team with Chase.
05:38I'm glad you came.
05:39What's the plan?
05:40I'll tell you on the helicopter.
05:41Once we boarded the helicopter, Chase filled me in.
05:44We've suspected Devin in a string of art thefts for a while now.
05:47We still don't have enough evidence to put him away, so we need to catch him in the act.
05:51Is Willow a criminal too?
05:52No.
05:53Willow is a good agent.
05:54She's working with me.
05:55But she and Devin used to date.
05:56Sorry, I know that's not easy to hear.
05:59It's not.
06:00But I'm glad one person is being honest with me.
06:03So where exactly are we going?
06:04A masquerade ball in a palace.
06:06Don't take your mask off at any point, and keep an eye out for Devin and Willow.
06:10I really wasn't kidding about the palace and the ball.
06:13I'd never been to something so fancy in my life.
06:16As we walked into the main hall, Chase pulled me onto the dance floor, and we started swaying
06:20to the music.
06:21Moments later, as we were dancing, Chase whispered to me.
06:24Willow just signaled to me.
06:25I'll be back in a minute.
06:26I looked over to see where Chase was heading, and sure enough, there was Willow.
06:30My dress was cuter.
06:31They were checking out this beautiful framed painting on the wall.
06:34I decided, since they were doing their thing, I'd do mine.
06:37I got into the groove on the dance floor.
06:39Before I knew it, people had formed a circle around me to watch.
06:42Suddenly, I twirled so hard that it crashed right into a table.
06:46It was so embarrassing.
06:48Just as I was trying to get up, someone extended a hand to help me.
06:51Even with a mask, I'd recognize that face anywhere.
06:53Devin!
06:54But did he recognize me?
06:56My heart was pounding, but just then, Chase showed up and pulled me away.
07:00The next day, we continued our mission.
07:02With my makeup skills, I actually made really good disguises for Chase and I.
07:06We followed Devin and Willow to the docks, where they were meeting a shady-looking guy.
07:10Devin will steal the painting from the palace and sell it to that guy, who's a known smuggler.
07:14I still can't believe my perfect boyfriend is evil.
07:17His parents should have named him Devil.
07:19I know this is really hard, but you're better off without him.
07:23Oh, by the way, I have something for you.
07:25I felt myself blushing.
07:26A gift?
07:27Already?
07:28It's an earpiece.
07:29I have the other one.
07:30Whoever wears one can always hear the person who wears the other.
07:33The next day, I couldn't wait to meet up with Chase and get back to our mission.
07:36My heart was still hurting from Devin's betrayal, but I had to admit, Chase's ocean-blue eyes
07:42were definitely easing my pain.
07:44When the bell rang, I raced out of the school so fast that I ended up getting to the meeting
07:48spot early.
07:49Chase was already there, talking to Willow.
07:51There was nothing strange about that.
07:53Willow and Chase were working together to catch Devin, but when I got closer, I overheard
07:57their conversation.
07:58This is taking too long.
08:00Lorelai already ruined our plan once.
08:02Soon, my love.
08:04Tomorrow night, we'll steal the painting and Devin and Lorelai will take the fall.
08:07We'll get away scot-free and get rich at the same time.
08:10It'll be worth the wait.
08:11I really hope so, babe.
08:12So Lorelai has just been believing everything you told her?
08:15Yeah, she's just a pretty airhead.
08:17All looks and no brain.
08:19Show her a designer dress and she could be fooled into sending her own father to jail.
08:23Wait, Willow and Chase were the real thieves?
08:26Did he just call her my love?
08:28Did she just call him babe?
08:29And did he just call me an airhead?
08:31After looking for him everywhere, I finally found Devin at our favorite pond and told
08:35him everything.
08:36But he didn't believe me.
08:38That was you at the masquerade ball?
08:40How do you even know Chase?
08:41He asked me to help him catch you.
08:43He and Willow are working together against you.
08:46Aren't you listening to anything that I'm saying?
08:48I told you to stay out of this, Lori.
08:50Willow and I have been tracking the movements of the real thief, and she would never betray
08:54me.
08:55And Chase is also a good agent.
08:56He's probably Willow's backup and you misheard something.
08:59Let us do our jobs.
09:00And, you know, it's pretty uncool of you to be making up this whole story out of jealousy.
09:05I'm trying to save you, you moron.
09:07You're just going to the spots Willow wants you to go to so she can frame you later.
09:11But you know what?
09:12Do whatever you want.
09:13Go to jail for all I care.
09:15I stormed away and left Devin standing there.
09:18At school the next day, I was feeling completely lost.
09:21Two evil criminals were trying to frame me and my stupid, stubborn boyfriend who didn't
09:26believe me.
09:27How was I going to get out of this?
09:28They were professional thieves and I'm just me.
09:31Hold on.
09:32I'm me.
09:33Fastest runner on the track team, gadget whiz, and not a half bad spy.
09:37I started to cook up a little plan of my own.
09:40During a break, I snuck out to Devin's car and tuned the radio to the same frequency
09:44as the earpiece Chase had given me.
09:46Devin always listened to the radio after school.
09:48Easy.
09:49This next part would be trickier.
09:51After school, I met Chase at our usual meeting spot.
09:53I missed you yesterday.
09:54Sorry.
09:56I had a stomach bug.
09:57I was throwing up over and over like a waterfall, but I'm ready to help again.
10:01Can we go over the details one more time?
10:03Oh.
10:04And don't forget to put your earpiece in.
10:05I just like knowing we're connected.
10:08We're heading back to the palace now.
10:09Devin's planning to steal the painting tonight, and we're going to catch him in the act.
10:12We've got our backup ready to arrest him as soon as he takes the painting.
10:16Suddenly, our earpieces started to play a Lady Gaga song.
10:19Uh-oh.
10:20Devin must be messing with the radio.
10:22What is that?
10:23I think it's Poker Face.
10:24A great song, right?
10:25Always makes me want to dance.
10:27But why is it playing in my earpiece?
10:29Just some mixed signals, I guess.
10:31Just then, Willow appeared with an evil look in her eye.
10:34Chase, don't you get it?
10:36Track Girl figured it out.
10:37Guess she's not as dumb as she looks.
10:39Track Girl?
10:40That wasn't even a good nickname.
10:41They started to close in on me.
10:43Suddenly, I ran the fastest I ever had in my life.
10:46Chase was fast, too, but there was no way he could keep up with me.
10:50Willow was nowhere in sight.
10:51Ha!
10:52Eat my dust, loser.
10:53Suddenly, Willow cut me off from the front.
10:55She must have known a shortcut.
10:57Nowhere to run, Track Girl.
10:59Just put me in jail already so I don't have to hear you talk anymore.
11:02That can be arranged.
11:03Chase was blocking me from the back, and I was trapped.
11:06Just as Chase reached out to grab me, suddenly, someone put him in a headlock.
11:10It was Devin.
11:11Turns out, my radio trick worked.
11:13Willow tried to make a run for it, but agents in black sunglasses tackled her.
11:17Aw, looks like you two can be together after all.
11:20In prison?
11:21After the agents took them away, it was just me and Devin.
11:24Lori, I am so sorry.
11:25For keeping you in the dark.
11:27For not listening to you.
11:28For everything.
11:29If it weren't for you, they might have been able to frame me for the theft.
11:32I was tempted to let him after the way you acted, but you mean too much to me.
11:36I couldn't just turn those feelings off.
11:39That move with the radio was genius, by the way.
11:42What?
11:43Like it's hard?
11:44Can we go somewhere and talk?
11:45Honestly, no.
11:46I need time.
11:47I'm not ready to just let all this go yet.
11:49I'll be here when you're ready.
11:50Not literally in this spot, but you know what I mean.
11:53A few months passed.
11:54It was strange to look back on all the excitement.
11:56It almost felt like a dream.
11:58The only thing that felt real was how much I missed Devin.
12:02And then one day, he found me.
12:04So I completely understand if you're not ready to forgive me yet, but maybe we could talk
12:09now?
12:10Okay.
12:11But under two conditions.
12:12First, no more secrets.
12:13We have to be totally honest with each other from now on.
12:15Done.
12:16And the second condition?
12:17I really want some ice cream.
12:19And can we also talk about a possible career for me at the agency?
12:22I think we can make that happen.
