00:00Hi everyone, I'm Alana, and I'm one of the smartest people in the world. Please do like and subscribe to MSA
00:06Okay, okay, not in the world
00:08But I am the smartest of my siblings straight A's winning debates and a pro at piano
00:14I had it all well
00:15I should have had it all but there's a saying the squeaky wheel gets all the grease and that's my siblings
00:21My parents only cared about my popular older brother Derek and his college future
00:26Then there was the other squeaky wheel my little sis Lisa
00:30She was adorable when she was younger, but recently she'd grown into a little grumpy attention-seeking grouch
00:36My point is I was the forgotten middle child even worse Derek aka
00:40Mr. Popular was as dumb as a doorknob always complaining about his phone not working
00:46Even though he didn't know how to use it eventually I lost patience and I decided to mess with him
00:51Maybe the battery is faulty. I read somewhere that you should rub the battery on your head. Apparently it helps recharge it
00:57That's not a thing fine. Don't believe me. Why would you trust the nerd?
01:01Anyways, wait, she is a total nerd
01:04Maybe she's right Derek walked around the entire day rubbing the battery against his hair dad
01:10Noticed his struggle eventually and bought him a brand new phone
01:13See what I mean?
01:14I've been asking dad for a new laptop for months because mine was literally hanging by a thread
01:20But all he said was I'll get it on the way home from your brother's game. Don't worry. Ah, dear. I forgot
01:26Anyways, I'm busy with your baby sister now, so I'll do it later later never arrived
01:32Eventually, I saved up my own money sort of technically
01:35I got the rest of it from mom by pretending that my laptop gave me an electric shock
01:39Sorry, but you got to be creative when people ignore you and that's the thing when you're overlooked as a child
01:45It becomes a full-time job just to get noticed like another time when I was 13
01:49I just won a massive science competition and I mean
01:53Massive every school in the area was there and I won with my project on how to make animal friendly leather out of mango skins
02:00When I got home to tell my parents about winning the competition
02:03They were completely fawning over pretty boy Derek his best friend Steve was there too God every time I saw him
02:10I felt my cheeks flush. I hated to admit it, but I had such a crush on him Alaina, honey
02:15Did you congratulate your brother his team won the game and he's in the running for prom king this year my star quarterback
02:23I'm so proud of you. That's nice. Um, I won the science competition for our entire district Wow
02:30Congratulations. You're really smart Alana. Oh
02:33Science I never understood that subject. It's always about worms somehow. We knew you'd always win Alana
02:38No big deal since when was entering for prom king or winning a game with your entire team helping you a big deal
02:46But my parents obviously thought so because they booked a beach resort just to celebrate Derek's
02:51Achievements and they invited the entire extended family great just great and as usual things didn't go my way
02:59When we got to the resort dad realized he forgot to put my luggage in the car
03:04Even though I was unpacking two days ahead of everyone else
03:08Typical. Oh, honey. Let's turn it into a positive. It's been so long since the two of us went out clothes shopping
03:15Careful with her mom
03:16She'll make you buy a jacket made out of mangoes or shoes made out of lemons
03:20When mom and I got back the entire family decided to go out for a fancy dinner
03:24I wore a dress mom bought me and secretly I felt cute then everyone started complimenting me and I knew I really looked good
03:33Okay, she's looking nice for once but anyone can look good on vacation
03:37Try doing it every single day of your entire high school career
03:41He couldn't handle losing the spotlight for a second while everyone was laughing at my brother's corny jokes
03:47I hit the beach grabbing my phone
03:49I opened the piano app to play my favorite song the music took me away to a special place
03:54But then I noticed someone watching me. It was a boy my age a really good-looking boy
03:59Huh didn't expect to find someone my age who liked older songs you play really well, um, thanks
04:05It's one of my favorite songs. He introduced himself as Wayne and we got to talking. We both had a lot in common
04:11We listened to similar music and even had the same favorite movie of all time the notebook
04:17Just don't tell me it's because of Ryan Gosling. Nah, he's too old. But the movie was awesome
04:22It stayed true to the book, which is what I love the most Wayne's face went blank
04:26Then he totally transformed into the movie's lead character
04:29I've spent each life before this one searching for you
04:33Not someone like you but you for your soul in mine must always come together
04:37I couldn't believe I was sitting with a boy alone on the beach and quoting Nicholas Sparks
04:43Finally someone noticed me. I spent the rest of the trips sneaking away from my family to meet Wayne
04:49I told him all about my family and he listened. He told me something that really stuck in my mind
04:54Don't hide your true self Alana do whatever you like doing even if your brother says it's nerdy
04:59I thought playing video games was a waste of time
05:01But now I'm pretty dang good at it and quite famous too on the last night of the vacation
05:07I was sad to say goodbye to Wayne
05:09He squeezed my hand and told me we'd keep in touch and we did we texted each other every day
05:14But when I hit school again, things had changed my shopping trip with mom had transformed my dress style
05:20And now I felt everyone's eyes on me even Steve's it became too much
05:25So I hid in the music room during recess then the most unexpected thing happened Elena. How are you? I'm good
05:32Derek's not here though. I know I wanted to talk to you. How's music class going? I couldn't believe it
05:38I did my best not to act like the other girls who screamed when Derek or Steve walked past them
05:43Steve and I talked for a while
05:45I told him about my vacation and showed him some of the beautiful pictures I took of the place
05:49That's when I noticed how he kept moving closer before I knew it. He was holding my hands
05:54You know, this new look is really cute on you. Um, do you seriously think so?
05:59Yeah, I do and I am the cuteness expert. Hey, listen, sorry
06:04I gotta take this as Steve talked into his phone
06:07I watched him walk away
06:08But all I could think about were his words this new look is really cute on you after that day
06:14Steve and I hung out quite a bit but only at school the more I got to know Steve the more I
06:19Told Wayne about him, but when I got home one day my numbskull brother Derek was waiting
06:23He turned my closet upside down and ruined my new clothes. He was angry
06:29Stay away from Steve nerd. You got it
06:32Finally someone takes an interest in me and you want me to stop Derek?
06:36I'm gonna ask Steve to be my homecoming dance date whether you like it or not
06:39And if you ruin all of my clothes for the night
06:42I just won't wear any Derek was shocked looks like the boring middle sister wasn't so boring after all Alana
06:49Please as if I was gonna listen to him of all people the next day. I went to find Steve
06:54I wanted to ask him to the homecoming dance
06:56But as I reached for the gym door, I heard Steve's voice inside my heart raced when I heard another girl's voice
07:02Come on, babe. There's no way I like Alana
07:05I just wanted to get close to her so she'd do all my assignments. I can even get her to do your assignments, too
07:10I couldn't believe it
07:12I wanted to yell at him, but I was way too upset if I confronted him
07:16I'd probably have puked on him when I got home. I jumped straight into bed and texted Wayne to tell him everything
07:22He cheered me up right away. He sent me a surprise package of brownies and some exotic flowers
07:28I'd never seen before and of course, my parents bombarded me with questions. Did a boy send you this stuff?
07:34Yeah, he's just a friend. Do we know him Derek? Do you know him? Come on dad. It's Alana. No boys chase her
07:42She's probably sending the stuff to herself
07:44First of all, the boy exists and no, he's not one of Derek's stupid football friends
07:49I met him at the beach actually and we've been best friends ever since see for yourself
07:55The phone battery died honey dad. You can't trust her with phone batteries. I'm not lying
08:01I promise whether you believe me or not isn't important to me
08:04I'm not trying to show off to the world who I'm dating or how cool I am
08:08That's not my priority says the girl who's running for prom queen, huh?
08:13Yeah, I saw it too. Someone entered your name for that thing the moment mom heard those two words prom queen
08:20She squealed and began planning a whole new dress to buy me
08:24It was nice to get her attention for once but I wasn't remotely interested in the thing
08:29Take it easy mom prom night events are so basic and fake like why even bother all the popular kids
08:35Just show up to try and prove how cool they are. It's so lame. No way
08:40That night Lisa walked into my room without saying a word I was the one who nominated you for prom queen Alana
08:47Seriously, but why because you're so much smarter and cooler than the other girls if you win
08:52It'll mean so much for girls like me. What do you mean?
08:57Alana I really look up to you the prom queen stuff shouldn't just be for the popular crowd
09:02You're so smart. And in my opinion, you're already a queen. Oh god, stop it
09:07My moody little baby sister just said she looked up to me. There's no way
09:12I'm letting you go Lisa's words really got me pumped for the dance now. Not that I was a good dancer
09:17It was actually cuz all the nominated students were expected to give a speech at the dance
09:22This was my chance to finally tell the popular kids what I thought of them
09:26It took a couple of days to write the speech and then one more day to delete the really bad words
09:31But finally my speech was ready. I was gonna give Derek and Steve a major clap back in front of the whole school
09:38But when I told Wayne he thought it was a bad idea
09:40He tried to convince me that I should take the higher ground that Derek was my brother after all
09:45But I didn't care on the day of the speech. I was practicing at home and suddenly Derek barged in
09:51Did you forget how to knock or were you rubbing batteries on your head again Alana?
09:55I heard you're gonna tell the whole school how much you hate me and my friends. Really?
09:59Yeah, and you always get everything on a silver platter
10:02Don't you know how hard the rest of us work compared to you? You sound really stupid right now sure
10:08It's not easy for you nerds, but it's not easy for us either. Yeah, right
10:12There you go acting like, you know everything I fought with Steve today, you know because he lied to you
10:18Derek lifted his jacket to show me he had a bloody scratch from a fight
10:22Do you even know how much pressure there is on me every time I run onto the field?
10:25It's my whole college dream at stake. You don't even realize how much cooler you are than me in comparison
10:30You'll get into any university no matter what whereas I'm scared of failing every single day
10:36You think I'm cooler than you really that's all you heard Wow
10:41Derek's words really made me think I'd acted like the burden of the entire world was on my shoulders
10:47But here he was the most popular guy at school and he was struggling
10:51I found Derek sitting out on the porch later Derek
10:54I just wanted our parents to notice me as much as you and Lisa
10:57I'm tired of trying hard and still being nothing but a nerd to them
11:02Firstly Alana mom and dad do notice you in fact, they're always talking about how good you are all the freaking time
11:08It's just that they don't have to worry about you. And anyways being a nerd is great
11:13You can do anything like like I could tutor you. That's it Derek. How about I help you out by tutoring you?
11:19Well, actually I could really use your help for school, but nobody needs to know okay, not even your imaginary boyfriend
11:26He is not imaginary you I was about to punch my brother's arm, but then I saw him smiling
11:32He was joking. He could be pretty clever in his own way
11:35Sometimes the next day I rewrote my entire speech and on the day of the dance
11:40I gave the school the motivational speech of their lives
11:43I told every kid that whether they were popular or not, they should all just have fun and let go
11:48Don't put crazy pressure on yourself. We're young after all we should enjoy learning the things that are meaningful to us
11:55And that's how you achieve maximum coolness
11:58I'd like to think I convinced everyone in that hall or at the very least I convinced my little sis Lisa and Derek
12:04Of course when the dance finally started
12:06I thought I'd be left standing alone
12:08But my brother swept me in his arms and my sister joined in as we were having an amazing time
12:13Someone tapped on my shoulder Wayne. He looked better than I'd ever seen him
12:17I was so excited to introduce him to my school friends
12:20But the thing that excited me the most the look on my brother's face his jaw dropped to the floor
12:26See, I told you Wayne was real
12:28Yeah
12:29But but this is the Wayne you spoke of this guy's a legend
12:32Turns out Wayne was a much bigger gamer than I thought and Derek was a huge fan the way he behaved
12:39It was like he wanted Wayne to be his date instead of mine
12:42I didn't win anything at the dance, of course, but it's fine. That's not my main thing
12:47I did have an amazing time with Wayne and I felt more relaxed than I'd ever felt
