00:00Hi guys! I'm Lucy. Like and subscribe to hear my crazy story.
00:03Growing up, I had a happy life. And I basically had it all.
00:07Only one thing was missing. Siblings.
00:09And since my parents were always busy, I felt lonely.
00:12So I came up with new ideas every time.
00:15Once when I was four, I asked my driver to push my life-sized doll in a stroller to my dad's office.
00:20Oh no! She pooped!
00:22Dad, can you please change my baby sister's diaper?
00:24Uh, honey, I can't do.
00:26Remember when you cleaned my bum bum in the middle of the forest with a leaf?
00:30My dad looked horrified.
00:33You've got this!
00:34You can imagine my dad's embarrassment in the middle of the meeting.
00:37When I turned eight, I'd grab the neighbor's kids and beg my parents to bring them home.
00:41But they weren't convinced.
00:43So I did everything to let them stay with me as long as I could.
00:46Until...
00:47Stop trying to kidnap my kid!
00:50Put down that Prada bag filled with jelly beans and get your butt home now!
00:53As they left, I started bawling.
00:55And my parents had enough embarrassment.
00:57So the next month, they adopted six-year-old Harrison from foster care.
01:01I was ecstatic!
01:02Welcome to your new house!
01:04Whoa, it's so big!
01:06Is it an orphanage?
01:07He was so cute.
01:09But he didn't play with the toys our parents bought for him.
01:11Instead, he picked out the cans from the bin and played with those.
01:15He also kept wearing the same clothes until they got worn out.
01:18My heart just swelled.
01:20So I stepped up and decided everything for him since then.
01:23But outside the house, his innocence quickly made him a target for bullies.
01:27Like in primary school, this one kid, Finn, kept picking on him.
01:30Once, when he made Harrison wipe up his shoes dipped in dog poop...
01:34Hey! Gross!
01:35I went full demon mode on this kid and sent him packing.
01:38But the teacher caught me giving him a black eye.
01:41Lucy Godot Raffielli, my office now!
01:44I was in deep trouble.
01:46And I got detention for three weeks.
01:48And mom had me doing chores for twice as long.
01:51But it was all worth it.
01:52Finn never messed with Harrison again.
01:54But when Harrison turned 12,
01:56he bought ponies for all the pretty girls to get their attention.
01:59This one's for you.
02:00Her name is Chestnut and she loves carrot-flavored ice cream.
02:04Gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, thank you!
02:06As a responsible sister,
02:07I'd have to go around to all those girls' houses later to fix the damage.
02:11Chestnut's coming back with me.
02:13Hey, is that scarf cashmere?
02:14Give that to me!
02:15Stay away from Harrison, understood?
02:17I was genuinely worried that if a girl bats her eyelids at him,
02:20he'd buy her Prada bags and skirts from Miu Miu.
02:23In high school, the stakes got higher.
02:25There were more bullies who'd trick him.
02:27But the biggest threat was the hotties trying to charm him.
02:30Thankfully, my boyfriend Justin was 100% genuine.
02:33He was handsome and the best basketball player.
02:36Harrison is totally gonna get his butt whooped.
02:38And you're going to follow him around with a baseball bat,
02:41beating up anyone who tries?
02:42I wish, but I have my own stuff going on too.
02:45But maybe if you could...
02:46Nuh-uh, no way.
02:48You can hire someone like Nathan.
02:49It's not like you don't have the cash for it.
02:51I was kidding, Lucy.
02:53I sprinted off looking for Nathan.
02:55Oh, meet Nathan, the editor of our school paper.
02:57He's your typical dork, but don't underestimate him.
03:00This guy knows his work best.
03:01I remember in middle school,
03:03someone was smearing boogers on all the walls.
03:05And it turned out it was our cruelest teacher, Mr. Wobblebottom.
03:09And Nathan caught him in the act.
03:10Say cheese!
03:12So that meant if I wanted the inside scoop on any girls
03:15digging their claws into Harrison, he was the guy to ask.
03:18But when I went to the school newspaper office to find him,
03:20I didn't see him.
03:21I saw this muscled blonde guy with a nose piercing.
03:25Then I realized that it was Nathan.
03:27Wow.
03:28Talk about a blow-up.
03:29Puberty did him wonders.
03:31If it isn't the Queen Bee.
03:32What are you doing here?
03:33I wanted you to keep me updated on any girls getting close to Harrison.
03:37And I'm willing to pay anything.
03:38I slid an envelope bursting with cash across the table.
03:41But Nathan just laughed.
03:43An info for an info.
03:45Tell me more about Justin.
03:46Justin?
03:47Why?
03:47Guys want to be him.
03:48Girls want to be with him.
03:49So you feed me the info on his lifestyle, and I'll help spy on your little brother.
03:53Deal?
03:54Ugh.
03:54I wanted to smack Nathan so bad.
03:56But now I'm stuck.
03:58Spilling the tea about Justin isn't a big deal.
04:00And it might even get him more fans.
04:02For the next month, I got the inside track on any girls who had their eyes on Harrison
04:06and shut them down early.
04:08And all I had to do was listen to Justin a bit more
04:10when he started gushing about his new protein powder or whatever.
04:13But things got messy when the first article on Justin came out.
04:17Gains, gains come my ways.
04:19He stopped me at my locker and shoved his phone in my face.
04:22Do you know anything about this?
04:24Your special no-carb meal plan?
04:26In the school paper.
04:27How'd they find out about that?
04:29I eat my lunch in the gym storeroom just to keep it a secret.
04:32Only two people know about it.
04:33My trainer and you.
04:35Don't get so worked up.
04:36It's just a diet.
04:37Meal plan.
04:38This is what determines if you're Olympic level or a local league scrub.
04:42You just don't get it.
04:43You never did.
04:44He stormed off and before I could say anything,
04:46out of nowhere, Nathan peeked from behind.
04:49Don't worry about it.
04:50I heard something else that's going to blow your mind.
04:53He told me that Harrison and this girl Natalie
04:55have been secretly meeting up after school.
04:57And just today, she got a new iPhone.
05:00Okay, what's the big deal?
05:02Nathan said Natalie was on a scholarship
05:04and there was no way she could afford the latest iPhone.
05:07That leech!
05:08This would be a huge scoop if we can prove that she's using Harrison for his money.
05:13Oh, she definitely is.
05:15And since you're Harrison's sister,
05:17I thought you could get in close and help me expose Natalie.
05:20Deal.
05:20The first step was to figure out just what Natalie had been scamming my brother out of.
05:24Nathan got Natalie's locker code,
05:26so I snuck into the locker room during my free period and took a look inside.
05:30Books, gym clothes, stationery.
05:32Nothing I could pin on her.
05:34On the back of the locker door was a picture of her and Harrison
05:37with a big love heart drawn around it.
05:39Blech!
05:40And then what really stood out was a folder called Operation Moolah.
05:44Bang!
05:44Just then, the door slammed shut in my face.
05:47It was Natalie!
05:48Find anything you like, thief?
05:50Funny you say that when you're the one who's been eyeing up my brother's wallet.
05:53Oh yeah?
05:54And what did I take from him?
05:56And then, as I looked at her hand on the locker door,
05:58I saw Natalie was wearing a glittering diamond ring.
06:01Ugh!
06:02Get off me!
06:03How'd you get this then?
06:04Dumpster diving?
06:05The crowd started murmuring and I waited to see Natalie crumble,
06:09but she didn't.
06:09She looked more confident than ever.
06:12Harrison did give it to me as a promise ring.
06:14He gave this to me because he wants to go steady from now on.
06:17And before I could react, a couple of girls squealed,
06:20running out of the crowd to cheer for Natalie.
06:23Ugh!
06:23I went back to Nathan to tell him what happened.
06:26Not gonna lie, this is still great stuff for me.
06:28Not helping, Nathan.
06:29I need a new way to expose Natalie.
06:31Just then, he pulled out a drawer filled with cables, microphones, and cameras.
06:36How do you have all these?
06:37My friends lent it to me in exchange for information.
06:40So this was how he got his info for the gossip column.
06:43Over the next week, we tried to follow Natalie wherever possible,
06:46but she wouldn't let us get close at all.
06:48Until one day, we saw her and her friends go to a primary school's playground.
06:52We brought a long-distance microphone with us.
06:55He helped me with setting it up.
06:56Huh, I can really hear them.
06:58Wow, what's that?
06:59I threw the headphones off before my eardrums burst.
07:01Some snotty kid was yelling right into the microphone.
07:04Go away from here.
07:05It's not cotton candy.
07:06I immediately realized my mistake.
07:08The kid started bawling his eyes out.
07:11Natalie and her friends went around at the voice, and they started walking towards us.
07:15Oh god, what should I do?
07:16They kept walking closer to us.
07:18So I pulled Nathan close and kissed him.
07:20I can't have her thinking I'm following her, can I?
07:22Ugh, get a room.
07:23I pulled away from Nathan, startled.
07:25Just then, Natalie and her friends turned around and walked away.
07:29Wow, that was great.
07:30Not another word.
07:31I was bewildered as I was still with Justin.
07:34So when I got home, I texted and called Justin, but he didn't respond or return any of my calls.
07:39But it's not like I wanted it.
07:41I just did it to show Natalie that we have better things to do than stalk her.
07:44I hesitantly shoved the feelings away and moved on to the next plan.
07:48Harrison was taking Natalie on a date to a street festival.
07:51Nathan had an interview with some of the staff there and scored us a mascot costume.
07:56Unfortunately, they only had one spare, a Chinese dragon made for two people.
08:00I called dibs on the front because, let's be real,
08:02I didn't want to be stuck staring at his butt all the time.
08:05We followed them around for two hours, but the most he bought her was some cotton candy and a hot dog.
08:10What a waste of time.
08:11This is pointless.
08:12She's not gonna scam him with so many people around.
08:15Come on, another hour.
08:16She's about to crack.
08:17Look, they're sneaking behind the fire breather stage.
08:19We sidled up next to the stage and I peered my giant dragon head slowly around the corner.
08:24Oh my god, no!
08:25What? What's happening?
08:26I think they're going to...
08:27Well, duh, they are dating.
08:29No, I won't watch.
08:31You have to.
08:32She'll give him a big smooch, then ask him to buy her something.
08:34I'm sure.
08:35I looked again, but Harrison and Natalie were staring at each other with stars in their eyes.
08:40I thought I might throw up.
08:41Harrison put his hands on Natalie's waist and pulled her in closer.
08:45It was too much.
08:46I jumped back suddenly, tripping over Nathan.
08:48Watch it!
08:49And just then, we crashed into the fire breather's tent pole, knocking down his backdrop.
08:53The whole thing came down just as he spit out a huge plume of flame.
08:57Get up.
08:58We need to get out of here.
08:59Get it off!
09:00I threw the costume off and realized things weren't quite as crazy as I thought.
09:04There was a small stage fire, but it was quickly put out with nearby fire extinguishers.
09:08The only people panicking were us, and everyone had noticed.
09:12Lucy, what are you doing here?
09:14See? I told you.
09:15They've been following me around everywhere.
09:17I... no.
09:18We were just here enjoying the festival.
09:21You and that gossipy writer Nathan from the paper?
09:23I have other friends, too.
09:25I hope you're not counting me as one of them.
09:27What?
09:27I'm your brother, but I don't think I can be your friend anymore.
09:30You don't even trust me.
09:31Trust?
09:32You shouldn't have trusted her.
09:33Ask her about Operation Moolah.
09:35OMG!
09:36That was about those rich kids I used to tutor.
09:38I told Harrison about this already.
09:40Harrison looked so betrayed.
09:42He stormed off, taking Natalie with him.
09:44And she dared to shoot a smug smile my way.
09:47She'd won.
09:48Don't worry about it, Lucy.
09:50Once Harrison sees the evidence, he'll understand why.
09:52Stop it.
09:53It's over.
09:54I felt terrible.
09:55I ran away and found myself in the corner shop at school where Harrison and I used to go as kids.
10:00His face would light up when I bought him gummy worms,
10:02like they were the most precious thing in the world.
10:04I couldn't help it.
10:05I started crying.
10:07I've never seen you break a sweat before.
10:09Justin was towering over me in his basketball clothes.
10:12Just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse.
10:15What's going on?
10:16Harrison hates me.
10:17He thinks I'm overprotective.
10:19I mean, you are, though.
10:21Nazi!
10:22I'm upset!
10:22I meant it in a nice way.
10:24You'd do anything for your brother.
10:25Even sell out my secret meal plan.
10:28You knew?
10:28I figured it out later.
10:30And that's when I realized you haven't got room in your heart for another guy at the moment.
10:34Not while you're still looking out for Harrison.
10:36I thought you'd be angrier.
10:37I'm so sorry.
10:38I'm a terrible person.
10:40Not at all.
10:41I knew you had to have a good reason.
10:42You're a good person.
10:44But it's not possible for us to move ahead.
10:46Justin pulled his bag over his shoulder and started to walk away.
10:49You know, if you had more faith in Natalie, too, you'd probably find something worth looking for.
10:53And with that, he was gone.
10:55But he'd given me an idea.
10:56I headed across town to the one place I'd find out who Natalie really was.
11:01Her house.
11:01Natalie's mom opened the door and invited me in.
11:04The place was falling apart.
11:05We got to chatting about Natalie's home life.
11:08And then I realized how wrong I was about Natalie.
11:11I left, calling Nathan.
11:12Hello?
11:12Yeah, I'm fine.
11:14Don't worry.
11:14I need you to do something for me.
11:16Consider it a payment for staring at my butt all day.
11:18I'll text you through the deets later.
11:20Gotta go.
11:20I rushed home and started planning the event.
11:22It took a couple of weeks to get everything together.
11:24And Harrison was giving me the cold shoulder and was dead silent at family dinners during that time.
11:29It'll all be worth it.
11:31I gathered everyone in the front yard of Natalie's house, including Natalie's mom and Nathan.
11:35And when I saw Natalie and Harrison coming around...
11:37Hit the cannons!
11:38Confetti drifted through the air as hundreds of people started cheering and waving.
11:44What's all this?
11:44When I visited the other week, your mom told me everything.
11:48About your dirtbag dad walking out on you and taking everything you had and then leaving you in this place.
11:53No offense, but it's held together with crazy glue.
11:56So I wanted to do something for you.
11:58And I put together a fundraiser.
11:59With your mom's permission, of course.
12:01I... I don't understand.
12:02They're buying us a new house.
12:04Natalie was speechless.
12:06The first time I had ever seen her without the smug, all-knowing smile on her face.
12:11Who are all these people?
12:12I put the word out on my network about Natalie's situation.
12:15Everyone was more than happy to pitch in.
12:17I didn't even have to blackmail anyone this time.
12:19I elbowed Nathan in the gut.
12:20Not a time.
12:21So, Natalie.
12:22I want to appall it.
12:23Natalie's eyes started to well up.
12:25And she ran around the back of the house.
12:27Harrison followed right after her.
12:28And I couldn't help but see if everything was okay.
12:30I found them sitting on the rusty swing set.
12:32Harrison comforting Natalie.
12:34Hey, I'm sorry if I stuck my nose where it wasn't wanted.
12:37No, not at all.
12:38I really, really appreciate it.
12:40It's just, I don't deserve it.
12:42The truth is, when I first started seeing Harrison, I knew you were rich.
12:46Like, mega rich.
12:47And I thought, if I got close to you,
12:49maybe I'd get some of the things I knew mom could never afford for me.
12:52Like that phone.
12:53And the ring.
12:54No, Harrison just got that for me.
12:56And I wanted to wear it and feel rich for once.
12:58To not be looked down on because I don't have as much money as everyone else.
13:02Actually, that's something Harrison and I bonded over.
13:04He got picked on for having so much money.
13:07And me for not having enough.
13:08I thought we had something deeper than that.
13:10We do.
13:11Once I saw how amazing you were, I felt guilty.
13:14And I couldn't possibly think of asking for money, gifts, or anything.
13:18I just, I just wanted you.
13:20Your big, innocent eyes and your charming smile.
13:22Harrison and Natalie locked eyes.
13:24And maybe I should have seen it sooner, but they really did like each other.
13:28Harrison, I'm sorry I didn't trust you.
13:30You just need to let me make my own mistakes sometimes.
13:33And meet new people.
13:34You don't have to worry.
13:35I only have one sister, and that's special.
13:37No matter what.
13:38Harrison gave me a big hug.
13:39I didn't want to let him go again.
13:41Not so tight from now on, okay?
13:43I'll try.
13:44I let go.
13:45Room for one more?
13:46Not now, Nathan!
13:47Aw, come on!
13:48I got all these people here!
13:49Oh gosh, I need to go thank everyone!
13:51Natalie and Harrison ran off, leaving Nathan and I on the swing set together.
13:55You know, this fluff piece stuff never sells nearly as well as juicy gossip.
13:59How do you plan to make it up to me?
14:01Well, maybe we can make some juicy gossip of our own.
14:04I put my hand on Nathan's, and he flushed.
14:06For once, his cool guy attitude had cracked.
14:09And I thought, maybe I have another innocent guy to look after from now on.
