Transcript
00:00I was only 10 when my next-door neighbor asked me out.
00:02I want you to be my girlfriend, Dylan.
00:04Ew, gross!
00:06Jack!
00:06Ow!
00:07Hi guys, I'm Dylan from Portland.
00:09Before I continue, please hit like and subscribe.
00:11I rushed back and told my mom.
00:13And she just laughed.
00:15You're a smart cookie, Dylan.
00:17There's no hurry to date boys.
00:18He apologized and we made up.
00:20Because I didn't want to lose my only best friend over some silly thing.
00:24My life was amazing.
00:26I had my mom and Jack.
00:27But everything changed after that summer.
00:29Mom surprised me with a packed suitcase and a brochure.
00:32What's this?
00:33I thought it would be good for you to get away and meet new people.
00:36Since we can't afford a vacation this summer.
00:38No, I don't want to go.
00:40Jack and I already have plans, Mom.
00:42If you send me there, I'll just call you every day, every hour, or every second until you come and pick me up.
00:47Mom had made up her mind.
00:49And she wasn't changing it, no matter how hard I begged.
00:52The day had arrived and I wasn't ready to leave Jack.
00:55He pulled something out of his pocket.
00:56It's a leather friendship bracelet.
00:58Mom let me buy it at the mall.
00:59I thought maybe you'd think of me while you had it on.
01:02Yeah, it's a bit flimsy.
01:03But we girls love it, right?
01:05He tied it on my wrist and I was just adjusting it when, snap, it broke.
01:09Whoops.
01:10Good thing you didn't buy the pearl one.
01:12I'll fix it and I will ever take it off.
01:14I was crushed.
01:15I'd have to leave my best friend for an entire summer.
01:18As if that wasn't enough, when I arrived at camp, all the kids seemed to know everyone there already.
01:23And I felt like an outcast.
01:25So I was tossing rocks into the lake, lost in thought, when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
01:30Let's see who can skip rocks the farthest.
01:32Uh, no thanks.
01:33I guess I thought she was there to pick on me too.
01:36But she plopped down next to me and smiled.
01:38Oh, come on.
01:39It'll be fun.
01:39I'm Molly, by the way.
01:40Hey, Dylan.
01:42We go to school together, right?
01:43Yep.
01:43And you look like you could use a friend.
01:45So what do you say?
01:46Ready for a little friendly competition?
01:48Are you ready for me to kick your butt?
01:49I'm the best rock skipper known to man.
01:51Ha!
01:52We'll see about that.
01:53We had a blast, and I laughed my lungs out.
01:56From that day on, Molly and I became joined at the hip.
01:59Molly was more social than me, which helped me break out of my shell.
02:02I got to know other kids, and I felt like I fit in.
02:05I no longer called my mom to pick me up, and I felt myself changing.
02:09Until swimming day.
02:10No one had a clue that I couldn't swim, and I was too embarrassed to admit it.
02:15I tried, but it was like I was Titanic-ing without a lifeboat.
02:18Of course, a few jerk boys figured it out and started to poke fun at me.
02:22Imagine being 10 years old and having a bunch of kids laugh at you because you can't swim.
02:27I wanted to run off, but then Molly spoke up.
02:30Whoopsie-daisy, it looks like I just peed in the pool a little.
02:33Of course, she didn't.
02:34But the way those guys scrambled away was enough to give me a good laugh,
02:38and I felt my confidence creep back in, thanks to her.
02:41The rest of camp wasn't so bad after we put those boys in their place.
02:45Camp ended, and I got Molly's number to stay in touch.
02:48The first thing I did was go to Jack's.
02:50I was excited to give him a bracelet.
02:51I had made it in camp, but no one was home.
02:54Even his porch swing was gone.
02:55Mom, where's Jack?
02:56I'm sorry, Dylan, but Jack and his family moved away to California.
03:00He left you this.
03:01I was feeling devastated, but at least I could keep in touch with him,
03:04even though he was miles away.
03:06We started chatting and calling, and over the years, I started to like him more and more.
03:11As we got older, things changed, and he talked less and less,
03:15until one day his calls just stopped.
03:17He even blocked his Instagram account.
03:19He totally ghosted me.
03:21I guess he found himself a girlfriend.
03:23Talk about a broken heart.
03:24But I still had Molly.
03:26At 16, we vowed to make our junior year the best ever,
03:29and maybe find ourselves some boyfriends.
03:31Did you talk to the new guy, Kyle?
03:33No, why would I?
03:34He keeps to himself.
03:35He's really cute.
03:37You're right, he's quiet, but I think I can get him to open up.
03:40You do have a knack for that.
03:41The final bell rang, but Molly continued gushing about Kyle.
03:45She always made me late.
03:46So we split, and I ran to class, and I was about to sit,
03:49but I missed my seat, and butt-planted on the floor in front of Townes Miller,
03:55the most popular guy in school, and my dream crush.
03:59My hopes and dreams of impressing him were ruined.
04:01I looked over, unaware that Kyle had been staring at me.
04:05Uh, hey, Kyle.
04:06My face was beet red, but he ignored me anyway,
04:09and turned his attention to his phone.
04:11Such a rude dude.
04:12I didn't tell Molly this, but she wasn't lying.
04:15Kyle was hot.
04:16After school, I went to the mall with Molly to look for dresses for our upcoming formal.
04:20Neither of us had a date, so we decided to go with each other.
04:23We both slipped the glamorous dresses on.
04:26It felt so pretty in mine, and despite the price tag,
04:29I was convinced I'd wear this gown to the formal.
04:31When I came out, Molly was already waiting for me and twirling in front of the mirror.
04:36Dylan, look at us.
04:37We look like the popular girls.
04:39Screw the popular girls.
04:40I feel like a princess.
04:42It felt magical.
04:43But as I looked in the mirror, I spotted Kyle standing outside the store, staring at us.
04:47OMG, Molly, look.
04:49And just as we both turned to look, my foot snagged my dress and ripped it right off my body.
04:55We need to make a run for it, or else you're going to be paying for a $3,000 pile of rags.
05:00No, wait.
05:00OMG, what is this?
05:03This big shop filled with pitiful things.
05:05I could even sue you for this.
05:06We are very sorry.
05:08It's our fault.
05:09It was from a defective batch.
05:10I'll give you both a 50% discount on any dress you choose from the store.
05:14This day couldn't get any better.
05:16Despite flushing Kyle and the entire dress shop,
05:19we were still laughing at my mortifying moment right before we ran into Kyle.
05:23Kyle, hey, what are you doing here?
05:26I waved, trying to play it cool.
05:28But knowing Kyle had seen me embarrass myself a few times now,
05:32I felt like sinking through the floor into the pits of hell.
05:34But why did I care anyway?
05:36Molly was so into Kyle that it was nauseating.
05:39It's a mall, so I'm shopping.
05:42Kyle blushed when he looked at me.
05:43I hoped Molly didn't notice, but when I looked over at her,
05:46she was practically drooling over him.
05:48Get a grip, girl.
05:50Molly looked like a psycho Cheshire cat.
05:52I'm having a party this weekend.
05:54Wanna come over?
05:55Yeah, sure, I guess.
05:57Molly gave Kyle her number, and that's all she talked about on the ride home.
06:01And the next day at school wasn't any better.
06:03I was walking down the hall when Towns yelled,
06:05Looks like Aunt Flo came for a visit.
06:07I spun around, totally puzzled, as everyone was laughing.
06:11Out of nowhere, Kyle came running over and wrapped his flannel shirt around my waist.
06:15You can borrow this.
06:16I stood there and gawked at him, but then I realized I must have gotten my period.
06:20Of course, that would have happened in front of Towns, of all people.
06:24Uh, thanks, Kyle.
06:25He was so sweet, but I was bummed that Towns made fun of me.
06:29I talked to Molly, and of course, she made everything better.
06:32But before we left, she pointed to my waist.
06:35This is Kyle's.
06:36I'm so jealous.
06:37I wish I had my period instead of you.
06:39She was like a lovesick puppy.
06:42Later that day, I found Kyle looking inside his locker.
06:45Why didn't he notice?
06:46Try again, Dylan.
06:49He peeked out, but I felt myself sweating when he turned his familiar gaze toward me.
06:55Thanks for this.
06:56It's okay.
06:56Then he left, and I slammed my locker shut without realizing my hand was inside.
07:01Like always.
07:02Ouch.
07:03That weekend, Molly had her party, and Kyle was there.
07:06I gotta give the girl credit.
07:07She always went after what she wanted.
07:09The only problem was, I liked Kyle too.
07:12Ugh, why do I have to like the same guy my friend does?
07:15I stepped inside, and surprisingly, Towns walked right up to me.
07:19It turns out she also invited him.
07:21I know he made fun of me, but he was too handsome, so he deserved a chance.
07:25You have a date for the formal, Dylan?
07:27I'm going with Molly.
07:28No, you're not.
07:29You're going with me.
07:30I am?
07:31Towns moved his head close to mine, and I prayed I didn't have bad breath.
07:35Yes, you.
07:36Molly's going with Kyle, so you're going as my date.
07:39Wait, what?
07:39Hearing Towns admit that he wanted me to go to the formal with him was amazing,
07:43but I was hurt that Molly made plans without telling me.
07:46Should I be mad?
07:48But why should I when we're both going with our crushes now?
07:50Molly was busy, so I walked over to Kyle since he was the only other person I knew there,
07:55and Towns was busy talking to his friends.
07:57So, you and Towns, huh?
07:59I nervously tugged at my old bracelet, something I've always found comforting since I was a kid.
08:03It's nothing official.
08:05We're just going to the formal together.
08:06Molly probably had to bribe him to go with me.
08:08What makes you say that?
08:09I'm not exactly Miss Popular, and Towns is like the school heartthrob,
08:14in case you haven't noticed.
08:15Maybe he sees more in you than those popular girls.
08:17You're funny, kind of clumsy in a cute way, and a really good friend to Molly.
08:21You've got great qualities, Dylan.
08:23Excuse me?
08:24What?
08:24Is he flirting?
08:25The rest of the party went well.
08:26Molly and Kyle spent a lot of time together, and I got to know Towns a little better.
08:30Now, let's jump to the night of homecoming.
08:32I went arm-in-arm with Towns.
08:34He looked amazing, and I felt like I was on cloud nine.
08:38Standing next to him, when everyone had their eyes on me,
08:41and looking like royalty in my gown, I immediately spotted Kyle.
08:45But to my surprise, Molly wasn't with him.
08:47Towns immediately found his friends and left.
08:49I was kind of pissed, but I wouldn't let him get me down.
08:52This was my night to have fun.
08:54Hey, you made it.
08:55You look beautiful tonight, Dylan.
08:56My heart skipped a beat when Kyle said those words,
08:59especially since Towns didn't even compliment me.
09:01My face got hot when he gave me a once-over.
09:04Everything about him that night screamed flirting.
09:07He couldn't possibly be into me, right?
09:09That would be bad.
09:10You're wearing that bracelet again.
09:12His fingers brushed my wrist.
09:13Kyle, if this is you flirting with me, don't bother.
09:17I...
09:17Just then, Towns swooped in and dragged me to the dance floor.
09:20And unfortunately, I smashed his toes as I tried to keep up with him.
09:24You're brutal, Dylan.
09:25You need dance lessons.
09:26You don't have to be such a jerk about it.
09:28I was leaving when he spun me around, lifted my chin, and moved his face close to mine.
09:33He was gonna kiss me, and I didn't feel ready at all.
09:36I panicked and ended up bumping my head on his chin.
09:39Oh, I'm sorry.
09:41I didn't mean it.
09:42Ouch, my lips.
09:43I brought you here as my date, and now I'm gonna go home with broken feet because of you.
09:47The least you could do is kiss me.
09:48Just then, Kyle stepped up to us.
09:50They both glared at each other, and Kyle looked so territorial.
09:54I have to admit, it was kind of hot the way Kyle looked like he wanted to strangle Towns.
09:59And I just realized that Towns had been the biggest blunder of my life.
10:03Whoa, calm down, guys.
10:04You better stay away, Towns.
10:06Just then, Molly walked up and pulled me away.
10:08Talk to her, Kyle.
10:10You promised, or should I say...
10:11Molly, that's enough.
10:12Hey guys, are you guessing the same?
10:14Is it like Molly left Kyle for me?
10:16Talk to me about what?
10:18Dylan, I'm not who you think I am, and I'm sorry I hid it from you.
10:21It's Jackie Kyle, or you know me as Jack.
10:24No, you must be kidding.
10:26He held my wrist, probably afraid I'd run away.
10:29And now I knew why his eyes felt so comforting all this time.
10:32It's me, Dylan.
10:33I moved back here with my mom so she could be closer to my aunt.
10:36You're Jack?
10:37All this time?
10:38Why would you lie to me, Kyle?
10:40Or should I call you Jack?
10:41I can explain, please.
10:43After we moved, things fell apart.
10:44My dad got mixed up in bad business,
10:47and my mom had to find another job when the police finally arrested my father.
10:50We moved to New York to be closer to family,
10:52and that's around the time you and I lost touch.
10:55I was embarrassed about my father and kind of shut everyone out.
10:58My mom even let me change my name so people wouldn't connect me to my con artist father.
11:02You didn't have to shut me out, Jack.
11:04You used to tell me everything.
11:06I know, I'm sorry.
11:07I didn't want to have to explain that my father was in jail.
11:09I figured no one would recognize me after all these years.
11:12I just wanted a fresh start.
11:14But hiding who I was from you was too hard.
11:16But who cares what people think?
11:18I don't care that your dad is in jail.
11:20You're still Jack, the boy who stole my heart all those years ago.
11:23Will you forgive me?
11:24I suppose I could consider forgiving you.
11:27But what about Molly?
11:28Molly knows my feelings for you and urged me to talk to you.
11:31What can I do to make you not hate me?
11:32I suppose if you kiss me, I could forgive you.
11:35You won't slap me and run away this time?
11:37Try it and find out.
11:38He kissed me softly, and it felt perfect, just as I thought it would.
11:42I felt like I was floating in the clouds.
11:45So Jack and I reconnected, and we've been dating ever since.
11:48Molly eventually started seeing a super nice guy too,
11:51and I ended up having the best junior year ever.
