00:00I'm Delfina from New York.
00:05My story starts with the day my parents decided to send me away, but before I continue, please
00:10hit like and subscribe.
00:11My parents loved me a lot, but I missed them because they were always super busy at work,
00:16and I don't have any friends, not even the imaginary ones.
00:19At least I had my grandma, my Nona, and I would always ask Dad to visit her in Sicily,
00:23but he couldn't afford the tickets for us to go every year.
00:26So for my 7th birthday, he surprised me by finally deciding to send me to Nona's place
00:31with Mom.
00:32I was ecstatic, and it was an amazing place, as was my Nona.
00:36I had a lot of fun running around her farm and petting the animals.
00:40However, the best thing about Nona's farm was the nearby beach, because that's where
00:44I met Giulia.
00:45Wow, that sandcastle looks great!
00:46Can I join you?
00:47Only if you promise to come for a swim with me afterward, but I don't know how to swim.
00:53I'll teach you.
00:54Easy for her to say, Giulia swam like a fish, and I had never even set foot in a bathtub.
00:59Even as a baby, my parents washed me in the backyard with a bucket and a hose.
01:03Plus, I'm not good at trying new things.
01:05Come on, the fish won't bite.
01:07There's fish?
01:08I imagined a gigantic shark coming up from the depths of the sea, eating my butt in one
01:14single bite.
01:15But before I could chicken out, Giulia pushed me in.
01:17I flailed, terrified, but the water barely reached my waist.
01:21See?
01:22I knew you could do it!
01:23Take my hands and start kicking your feet.
01:25Ouch!
01:26Don't kick me, kick the water!
01:28Oops, I accidentally nailed her in the shin.
01:30Giulia backed up a few feet before I tried again.
01:33Yeah, just like that!
01:34And that's how I got over my fear of trying new things.
01:38Giulia was loud, sunny, and fearless, just like I wanted myself to be.
01:43That summer, we got into all kinds of trouble.
01:45We stole the fresh eggs from the chicken coop in the morning, raced after the postwoman,
01:49and made her lose all her letters.
01:51Giulia was also really good at basketball, so we played until the sun went down and Nona
01:56called us home.
01:57We also invented a million new ice cream flavors, and because we needed so much milk, we had
02:02to milk Nona's cow.
02:03Don't you think she's looking at me funny?
02:05She's a cow, and you're pulling on her udders.
02:08Of course she looks at you funny!
02:09With Giulia, I felt like I could do anything, so we milked the cow, made ice cream, and
02:14then ate so much of it that we gave ourselves stomach cramps.
02:18Might this be a lesson for the future?
02:20Excess of anything is bad, honey.
02:22But like all good things, it also ended in a blink of an eye.
02:25I was super sad to return home.
02:28I had made my first real friend, and now I had to leave her behind.
02:32I promised Giulia that I would write to her every day, and I gave her a necklace made
02:36out of seashells that we had collected together.
02:38Wow!
02:39This is beautiful!
02:40Thank you!
02:41I'll treasure it for sure!
02:43When I got on the plane, I realized how much I had changed, and it was all thanks to Giulia.
02:48Since I wasn't allowed a phone yet, and I had forgotten to get her email address, I
02:52would write Giulia actual letters.
02:54Each summer, I promised I'd visit, but in the end, I never did.
02:58With time, the letters became shorter and shorter, and when I was 14, my life turned
03:03upside down when my parents divorced, and I had to move to a new house with my mom.
03:08Giulia kept writing to me, but I was shattered, so I didn't feel like replying, and eventually,
03:13her letters stopped.
03:15Unfortunately, my mom had made a lot of money with her novels and sent me to a new, super
03:19fancy school.
03:20However, I soon discovered that everyone here was obsessed with their looks.
03:25There was this one girl in particular, Olivia, who took an instant dislike to me.
03:29Look at what she's wearing!
03:31Are your parents in the military?
03:33Because it looks like you shop at Salvation Army!
03:35It was actually from a flea market, but her remarks were still mean.
03:39I wanted to return to my old school, but my mom had no patience with my complaints.
03:43I'll get you new clothes, what's the problem?
03:46There's nothing wrong with the clothes I already have.
03:49Other girls would be happy to have an excuse to go shopping.
03:52In the end, I found new clothes, and when I walked into school the next day, I could
03:55feel everyone looking at me with admiration.
03:58Maybe this new school wasn't so bad.
04:00But of course, Olivia still found something wrong with me.
04:04Is that a pimple, Delfina?
04:06Ugh, here, take a mint, your breath stinks.
04:09No matter how hard I tried, every day she found something else to make fun of.
04:14Look at her hair!
04:15Is it dandruff or lice?
04:17Eww!
04:18And that was the last straw.
04:20I couldn't take her nastiness anymore.
04:23Let's see how your hair looks now!
04:25So I threw my glass of water right in her face, but Olivia dodged and the water drenched
04:30my teacher.
04:31She went ballistic and didn't listen to me.
04:33Instead, she sent me to detention for a week with that wicked witch.
04:37After that, school was hard because Olivia wouldn't stop bugging me.
04:41One time, she literally bugged me.
04:43She spilled an ant farm on me.
04:44It was a whole thing.
04:45Somehow, I survived two years, and then my life took another turn.
04:50When Tristan joined my class in high school, the second I laid eyes on him, I felt my heart
04:54start to race and my stomach flip with anticipation.
04:57Or was that from the lunch in the school cafeteria?
05:00Either way, I didn't care.
05:01I had never seen anyone so handsome in my entire life.
05:05But under Olivia's stunned gaze, he walked straight up to me and extended his hand.
05:10Hello, I'm Tristan.
05:11Can I sit here?
05:12I kept staring at him.
05:13It was as if we had known each other for an eternity, just like in those romantic movies.
05:18Tristan didn't wait for a reply and just sat beside me, and he kept smiling at me.
05:23In class, at recess, at lunch, well, in a matter of days, he became close to me and
05:29became the most popular guy in school.
05:31He always had the best brands and wore the latest fashion.
05:35And he was too good at sports, so he joined the basketball team as well.
05:39I was wondering…
05:40OMG, he joined it because of me!
05:43Well, the more Tristan paid attention to me, the more Olivia got jealous, and her pranks
05:48grew cruel.
05:49She would drop ketchup in my bag and cut my gym shoelaces.
05:53She even threw chewing gum in my hair.
05:55OMG, I'm sorry, I was spitting it out, and I don't know how it ended up in your hair.
06:00OMG, you're such a liar!
06:02Do you always spit your gum five feet across the room when you're spitting it out?
06:06This is insane!
06:07I was about to cry, but when I saw how worried Tristan was, I forgot everything, and he gently
06:12pulled it out by using the ice from the cafeteria, and I could see Olivia's face in dismay.
06:18The other day, the teacher called Olivia up to answer a question on the board, when…
06:22RIP!
06:23As she struggled to stand up, her pants ripped apart.
06:26Turned out, someone had put glue on her chair.
06:29Surprisingly, no one felt bad for her.
06:30I guess that's what you call karma.
06:33Revenge!
06:34Finally!
06:35She knew how I felt every day!
06:36But who could've glued Olivia's chair?
06:39I looked around, and Tristan winked at me.
06:41Did you do this?
06:42Yeah, it was about time that someone taught her a lesson.
06:45No one had stood up for me in all that time, and it touched my heart.
06:50I discovered that Tristan was a lot of fun, almost as much fun as Julia.
06:54And whenever Olivia tried to be nasty to me, Tristan would retaliate with an even bigger
06:58prank.
06:59Soon, Tristan and I became inseparable.
07:02In particular, we enjoyed playing basketball together.
07:04Come on, is this all you've got?
07:07Let's play another game, and I'll show you.
07:08We played one game, and then another one, until it started raining, but we still didn't
07:13want to stop.
07:14But then I slipped, and luckily, I landed on Tristan's strong arm.
07:18Our eyes met, and I felt a spark between us.
07:21Wow, he's really handsome, isn't he?
07:23I was living a dream.
07:25After a few days, it was my birthday, and I could hardly wait for him to surprise me.
07:29Or, perhaps, propose to me.
07:31I wasn't ready for a proposal, but I did have a David's Bridal Catalog, just in case.
07:35Uh, yeah.
07:36You said something?
07:37Me?
07:38No.
07:39Nothing.
07:40What?
07:41Do you want to say something?
07:42No, just focus on work.
07:43Jerk.
07:44I was so mad that he forgot to wish me a happy birthday.
07:46I couldn't even sleep, I kept tossing and turning.
07:50Just then, my phone rang, and it was him.
07:52I couldn't wait anymore, so I picked it up on a single ring.
07:55Hi.
07:56Come down, please.
07:57What?
07:58I looked out, and Tristan was in front of my house.
08:00I got so excited that I tried to jump from the window, but then I realized I wasn't Rapunzel.
08:05But I didn't feel any less than a princess that day.
08:08My mom was away, so it was easy to sneak out of the house and go with Tristan.
08:12We drove to a quiet spot, where you could see all of the sparkling lights of New York.
08:17He finally wished me happy birthday, and man, it was super romantic.
08:22The way he looked at me, perhaps he was thinking the same thing.
08:25He leaned in, and I closed my eyes, waiting for a kiss, but...
08:29I...
08:30I have something to tell you.
08:31I really like you, Delfina, but there are things about me you don't know, and I'm not
08:36sure I'm ready to tell you.
08:38You have secrets?
08:39I wasn't always the nice guy you know today.
08:42What did he mean?
08:44What kind of dark secret could he have?
08:46I don't know if I can date someone who doesn't trust me.
08:49It's okay, I understand, but I still need some time before I tell you.
08:54After that, things between Tristan and me became different.
08:56I couldn't look at him without wondering what his big secret was, and my imagination was
09:02running wild.
09:03I still wanted to be his girlfriend, but I felt hurt that he couldn't trust me with his
09:07secret.
09:08What kind of couple would keep secrets from each other?
09:10The more I thought about it, the more it seemed strange that someone like Tristan could be
09:14interested in me.
09:15After all, when we met, I was the underdog, and he was the coolest guy in school.
09:21Maybe this was all a trick of some kind.
09:23My suspicions were confirmed one day when I went to basketball practice and I found
09:27Tristan and Olivia playing together.
09:29They were laughing, and he was teaching her how to shoot three-pointers, which was my
09:33specialty.
09:34And when I saw them close together, I couldn't stand and watch it.
09:37I stormed onto the court and slapped him.
09:40How dare you!
09:41You played with me!
09:43What?
09:44I know that you didn't like her, but it looks like I was wrong.
09:47Everything you told me is a lie!
09:49Suddenly Tristan looked super guilty, and I knew I was right.
09:53I ran away.
09:54Wait!
09:55She told me this was your idea, that you wanted to make peace with her and forget the past.
09:59I didn't believe him.
10:00When I got home, I was crying on my bed.
10:02I cried so much that I was suddenly sitting in the middle of a small pool, and I slid
10:07onto the floor.
10:08And there I noticed an old shoebox under my bed.
10:11I pulled it out, dusted it off, opened it, and Giulia's letters!
10:15I had almost forgotten about them.
10:17I started reading them, and it reminded me how happy I had been that summer.
10:21Giulia would have never betrayed me as Tristan had.
10:24And since I'm rich now, I bought a ticket to Italy to see my Nona again.
10:28And maybe Giulia...
10:30What happened to you, dear?
10:31How about school?
10:33It's only for a few days.
10:34Can I stay, please?
10:36Nona could never say no to me, so I spent the next few days wandering around the places
10:40of my childhood.
10:41There was so much that reminded me of Giulia.
10:43But when I went to see her house, I found it locked.
10:46It looked abandoned.
10:47I asked around the village, but even if they did remember Giulia, no one knew where she
10:51went.
10:52Also, one of my teammates texted, confirming that Olivia had really told Tristan that teaching
10:57her basketball was my idea.
10:59That sneaky witch!
11:01Of course she did!
11:02I went back to school, ready to apologize, but Tristan ignored me.
11:05He wasn't completely wrong.
11:07I slapped him, left him, and didn't trust him.
11:10Of course he was angry with me and avoiding me, but I decided to get his attention anyway.
11:15I came to school dressed up all fancy, but everyone laughed at me.
11:18Then I tried to cook him a fishy surprise and put it in his locker, but it smelled so
11:22bad after a few hours that everyone gave him the stink eye.
11:26I even tried to dance for him at the basketball game, but I accidentally kicked Tristan as
11:30I jumped.
11:31But thanks to Olivia, she threw a banana peel on the floor, which made me slip.
11:35I was sure I would fall.
11:37Tristan caught me midair.
11:38Are you okay?
11:39Yes.
11:40I'm sorry I didn't believe you.
11:42I know you'd never team up with Olivia.
11:44You know I don't like her.
11:46So can you tell me your secret now?
11:48Tristan looked at me, and he took a big breath.
11:51His face got all serious.
11:53Come with me.
11:54Where did he want to take me?
11:55But we went to the lockers, and thankfully, the fishy smell was gone.
11:58The corridor was deserted because everyone was still at the game.
12:01He opened his locker and took out a necklace.
12:04It was made of seashells, and I immediately recognized it.
12:07I made that necklace, but I gave it to Giulia.
12:10How is he Giulia's brother?
12:13He must have some connection with her.
12:14He was looking at me with a broad, hopeful grin, and suddenly, I remembered where I had
12:19seen that smile before.
12:21You!
12:22You're...
12:23Giulia, but it's Tristan now.
12:24Now that I knew the truth, I was shocked that I hadn't seen it before.
12:28That's why Tristan felt so familiar.
12:30We had met before.
12:32So this is your big secret?
12:34I was hoping you'd recognize me, but you never did.
12:36You never gave me any clue!
12:38I'm the one who taught you to play basketball.
12:40I walked closer to look at Tristan and compared him to Giulia.
12:44Well, this version of him felt right.
12:46I couldn't imagine a grown-up version of Giulia that wasn't a boy.
12:50Is this why you never got in touch?
12:53Yeah, I was afraid you would reject me, but I missed you too much, so I decided to risk
12:57it.
12:58Is the fearless Tristan afraid?
13:00Tristan took my hands.
13:02You really don't care that I was born a girl?
13:04Giulia was my first real friend, but you were my first love, and you are perfect just the
13:10way you are.
13:11Now kiss me.
13:12And so he did, and it was the best kiss in the world.
