00:00Hi, I'm Zoe, and I grew up in a small town in Iowa where nothing interesting ever happened
00:09till one day, someone moved in next door and my life turned upside down.
00:13Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:16Dad was a farmer, and as a kid, I always saw him struggling for money, so when I joined
00:20high school, I started working part-time to earn extra cash.
00:23That's also how I got my first guitar.
00:25At the end of the day, I would sit back playing songs from my favorite band, the Starboys.
00:30I wanna hold you in my arms, and never let you go.
00:35You're the sunshine that I want, that makes my life flow.
00:39These guys were like California's BTS, only more popular, especially their songwriter
00:44and lead singer, Nico.
00:46He was so mysterious, though, he didn't even have a social media account, and hardly came
00:50to interviews.
00:51But my favorite was Dylan, the other singer in the band.
00:54I had his posters everywhere in my room, and I prayed every night I could meet him
00:59just once.
01:00I must've prayed extra hard, because a week after my 19th birthday, a huge truck pulled
01:05up at the house across the street, and four familiar boys jumped out of it.
01:10Ah, now that's what nature and isolation smells like.
01:14The only thing I can smell is cow dung.
01:16You couldn't find a better place to lay low, Nico?
01:18The heat here is making my butt sweat.
01:20We need some time away to concentrate on our music, and this place is perfect.
01:23Now get in before someone spots us.
01:25All four boys hurried inside, while I just stood there, dumbfounded.
01:29What the freaking fruitcake?
01:30The Starboys were gonna be my neighbors?
01:33I could scream my lungs out.
01:35The next morning, I got up extra early to bake some cookies, and hurried next door to
01:40welcome the new neighbors.
01:41Okay, stay cool.
01:43It's just Dylan.
01:44Dylan, the love of your life.
01:45No, no, Dylan.
01:47Just Dylan.
01:48I tried to stay calm, but then Dylan opened up, and I jumped on him.
01:51Oh my god, it's you!
01:52It's really you!
01:53Are you for real?
01:54Can I touch you?
01:55Eee!
01:56Who are you?
01:57Oops, sorry.
01:58We haven't met.
01:59I mean, I've met you.
02:00In my dreams.
02:01Lots of times.
02:02But you obviously don't know me, I'm-
02:04Before I could finish, someone pulled me inside and pinned me to the wall.
02:08Nico!
02:09Who sent you?
02:10Which newspapers?
02:11Spill, or I'll call the police on you for trespassing.
02:13Zoe, neighbor.
02:14Cookies.
02:15Baked.
02:16Love Dylan.
02:17Huge fan.
02:18I can't breathe.
02:19So you're not the paparazzi?
02:20No.
02:21Now can you move away?
02:22The wind is too strong.
02:23It's giving me a headache.
02:24You might not be the paparazzi, but you can still go around telling people we're here.
02:28We can't risk it, Dylan.
02:29Let's pack our bags and go.
02:30No.
02:31Please.
02:32I won't tell a soul.
02:33Just let me hang out with you guys.
02:34I'm your number one fan.
02:35I can do anything.
02:36Cook.
02:37Clean.
02:38Play guitar.
02:39You name it.
02:40I'll be your Snow White.
02:41But not as white.
02:42I can even entertain you with my very professional magic tricks.
02:45Now watch this carefully.
02:47I'm gonna pull this tablecloth, and everything will stay just as it is.
02:51You have to be quiet.
02:52Let me concentrate.
02:53No.
02:54No.
02:55Mabracadabra!
02:57I pulled the tablecloth, feeling confident.
02:59But I guess I pulled it too hard, and everything came crashing down.
03:03It doesn't always work.
03:05But, uh, yeah.
03:06Not a magician.
03:07Snow White, remember?
03:08That's enough.
03:09Look, we don't need anyone.
03:10Just shut up and leave.
03:12I wanted to argue more, but Nico looked really mad, so I ran off.
03:17Over the next few days, I tried everything from posing as the pizza delivery guy to prank calls,
03:22but nothing seemed to get past Nico.
03:24Then one evening, I was pretending to jog outside their backyard, trying to get a glimpse of Dylan,
03:29when I heard someone arguing.
03:31You really have no business telling me what to do when you're not as half as talented as I am.
03:36We're here because of my talent, Dylan.
03:38I'm the one who writes all the songs.
03:40If people knew how fake you are, you wouldn't be standing here.
03:43What?
03:44I wanted to hear more.
03:45And suddenly, I heard someone unlatch the door.
03:47I turned around too fast, got a head rush, and landed flat on my face.
03:51I tried to sneak away, but Nico caught up with me.
03:54How long have you been standing here?
03:55Uh, I wasn't standing.
03:57I was just getting a feel of this grass.
04:00It's so nice and dewy at this time of night.
04:02Snow White likes nature, and—
04:04Stop lying.
04:05I know you heard something.
04:06Oh, you mean how Dylan's fake?
04:08Yeah, okay.
04:09I heard everything.
04:10So he's not the singer everyone thinks he is?
04:13Does he use Auto-Tune?
04:15OMG, that's big!
04:16Dylan, yeah, yeah.
04:18That's it.
04:19You caught us.
04:20He's totally fake.
04:21But listen, Zoey.
04:22No one can know.
04:23It'll destroy the band.
04:24Do you want that?
04:25No, I don't.
04:26Okay, fine.
04:27I can stay quiet, but you'll have to buy my silence.
04:30Help me date Dylan.
04:31Even if he's fake and all, he's still cute and I want him.
04:34That's impossible.
04:35You're not his type.
04:36At all.
04:37Cool.
04:38Then maybe the press is his type.
04:40I'm sure he'd love to have a little date with them.
04:43Wait, wait, wait.
04:44Okay, I'll think of something.
04:45But you have to promise to me to keep your big mouth shut.
04:48Shake on it.
04:49And just like that, I was in.
04:50Nico welcomed me into his home as the new housekeeper,
04:53and everyone, including Dylan, was so confused.
04:56But Nico explained how I was really good at cooking and cleaning,
05:00so everyone got on board.
05:02In the house, I kept a close watch on Dylan.
05:04I noted the time he ate, slept, pooped, everything.
05:07I tried to get close to him, but Nico ruined the moment every time.
05:11Hey, Dylan.
05:12Want me to help you with that?
05:13I'm really good at applying sunscreen.
05:15You are?
05:16Great.
05:17Too bad Dylan has to leave.
05:18We have to discuss the new song.
05:19Chop, chop.
05:20Dylan.
05:21Oh, you're working out.
05:22Let me help you with those crunches.
05:23Go.
05:24One, two, three.
05:25Give me one more.
05:26Yes.
05:27That's very inspiring.
05:29But I'm starving.
05:31Make me an apple pie and some pumpkin spice latte,
05:33because I'm craving Starbucks.
05:35Do it right now, or you're fired.
05:37Ugh, so annoying.
05:39I pulled Nico aside the next time I saw him.
05:41What's wrong with you?
05:42You're supposed to help me date Dylan, but you keep pulling me away from him.
05:46Relax.
05:47You need to play hard to get.
05:48Boys like that.
05:49Have patience and stop drooling all over him.
05:51But I was anything but patient.
05:53Then one evening, I was leaving for home when I saw Dylan swimming.
05:57And holy cow, he looked so hot.
06:00I was just admiring his perfect body
06:02when suddenly I saw a strange guy in a hoodie tittoeing his way around the pool.
06:06He was definitely some intruder.
06:08So before he could harm Dylan, I sprang into action.
06:11But he dashed inside the house.
06:13I was running after him when I slipped and landed into the pool instead,
06:16right on top of Dylan.
06:18I tried to get out using Dylan's shoulders as a makeshift ladder
06:21without realizing that I was pushing him into the water.
06:24What do you think you're doing?
06:26Stop drowning me.
06:28There's an intruder.
06:29He just went inside the house.
06:30Help me get out.
06:31Put your hand under my butt and lift me out.
06:33Now.
06:34What? You're crazy.
06:35Dylan got out of the pool and stormed inside.
06:37And I followed.
06:38Fire this stupid girl or I will.
06:40What's wrong?
06:41I saw an intruder running just now.
06:43I'm sure he's hiding here somewhere.
06:45We need a game plan.
06:46You two go that way.
06:47Nico, you go to the right.
06:48And Dylan and I can search the bedrooms.
06:50Zoe, we've been here the whole evening.
06:52And if there was an intruder, we would have seen him.
06:54But I just saw him come in.
06:56You're hallucinating, weirdo.
06:58You've ruined a perfect evening.
06:59So thank you and go away.
07:01As Dylan left angrily, Nico turned to me with a towel.
07:04I swear I saw someone go in, Nico.
07:06Or, I don't know, maybe I was imagining things.
07:09I mean, sometimes I see little pixies flying here and there at night.
07:13And we all know pixies aren't real, right?
07:15Oh, God, I messed up everything.
07:17Dylan hates me.
07:18The Snow White plot isn't working.
07:20He doesn't hate you.
07:21He's always been a little short-tempered.
07:23How am I supposed to win him over when he doesn't even look at me?
07:26And you're not helping at all like you promised.
07:28I told you to be patient.
07:30But I guess that was clearly a mistake.
07:32Hold on, give me your phone.
07:33Ew.
07:34Zoe, what is this?
07:35Oh, I always keep a banana with me.
07:37What if the world runs out of food?
07:39What if I'm stuck in a hurricane with no food?
07:41Girls gotta be strong, and bananas are a great source of potassium.
07:44You want some?
07:45Uh, no thank you.
07:46Just go online and see some of the girls Dylan's dated in the past.
07:50The more you look like them, the more he'll notice you.
07:52I spent the night studying each girl carefully.
07:54And the next morning, I dressed exactly like them.
07:57But Nico took one look at me and burst out laughing.
08:00What is wrong with your face?
08:02You look like you were in a bar fight.
08:04It's called makeup.
08:06And you're the one who asked me to dress like those bimbos in the pictures?
08:09You've clearly done a fab job.
08:12Come with me.
08:13We went to the mall with Nico in sunglasses and a baseball cap.
08:16And he started picking out clothes like crazy.
08:18I was trying them on when he got a phone call and left.
08:21When he came back, he looked really tense.
08:23We need to leave now.
08:24Thanks, we'll take them all.
08:26What? His clothes are worth both my kidneys and a good chunk of my liver.
08:30And why are we leaving?
08:31Don't ask questions, just do what I say.
08:33Nico threw some cash on the counter and we left in a cab.
08:36I tried asking him what happened, but he didn't respond.
08:39Instead, he got off somewhere in the middle of the road before asking the driver to drop me back home.
08:44What was that all about?
08:45The next morning, I was still thinking about what happened with Nico.
08:48But then Dylan walked up to me and I lost track of everything.
08:52Hey Zoe, you look nice today.
08:53What are we having for breakfast?
08:54Ew, I mean a few eggs and some bread.
08:57Sounds great, babe.
08:58Dylan winked at me and I felt my knees go weak.
09:01He called me babe.
09:02I wanted to update Nico on the progress, but he was nowhere to be seen.
09:06Then later that evening, I was leaving when finally Nico came home.
09:10Where were you? I've been waiting for you all day.
09:12Why?
09:13Relax, snappy.
09:14Just wanted to tell you that Dylan noticed me today, finally.
09:17Like Snow White's prince and all.
09:19And why are you so tense all the time?
09:21You know you can tell me all your secrets, Nico.
09:23I'm a very good secret keeper.
09:25Okay then, here's one.
09:26I think you're very annoying.
09:28That's not a secret.
09:29You make that pretty obvious.
09:30Give me more.
09:31I'm busy, Zoe.
09:32We'll talk later.
09:33Nico didn't talk to me for a couple of days and I was getting really distracted and impatient.
09:37I guess Nico noticed because a few days later, he told me that the boys wanted to go for a hike
09:42and he'd convinced Dylan to take me with them for directions so they won't get lost.
09:46Here's your chance to get on Dylan's good side.
09:48And for that, we need to work on your conversation skills.
09:51They're horrible.
09:52What are you saying?
09:53I'm a very interesting person.
09:55Yeah, if interesting and crazy mean the same thing.
09:57That's not very informative.
09:59Look, all you have to do is act shy around him.
10:02Say something romantic.
10:03Hmm, like this?
10:05Nico, your eyes remind me of my dead grandmother.
10:08Calm and pretty.
10:09Dead grandmother?
10:10Really?
10:11Try this.
10:12Your voice is like a warm hug on a chilly day.
10:14And your laugh is like a symphony of joy that fills my life.
10:17I'm addicted to the sound.
10:19Can you try not to have feathers and leaves stuck in your head?
10:22Nico tucked a strand of hair behind my ears and then walked away.
10:25And I felt something strange in my tummy.
10:28But it was probably that expired tuna I'd eaten the night before.
10:31On the day of the hike, I did everything Nico asked me to.
10:34Acted shy, kept quiet, and even tried to flirt a little.
10:38I guess it worked because by the end of the hike, Dylan asked me out on a real date to a club.
10:43I spent hours getting ready.
10:45I chose a black dress and was almost done with my makeup when Nico showed up at my door.
10:49Her Dylan finally asked you out on a date?
10:51Wait, you're wearing that?
10:52Yeah.
10:53What do you think?
10:54Uh, you look good.
10:55I mean, good for Dylan.
10:57But you don't look like yourself.
10:59Looks like you're trying too hard.
11:00Seriously?
11:01First, you asked me to dress how Dylan likes, and now there's still something wrong with me?
11:06I didn't say wrong.
11:07I just...
11:08Never mind.
11:09It's not my place.
11:10Good luck on your date or whatever.
11:11With that, Nico left.
11:13What was his problem?
11:14I was still a bit annoyed when Dylan showed up, but we actually ended up having a great time together.
11:19He even asked me out on a second date, and I was thrilled.
11:22After the date, Dylan excused himself to the washroom while I waited for him outside when someone tapped on my shoulder.
11:28Nico!
11:29So, how was it?
11:30It was...
11:31Wait, why should I tell you?
11:32You didn't even say sorry.
11:33I'm sorry, okay?
11:34You don't mean it.
11:35I can't...
11:36Hold on.
11:37Have you been waiting here all this time?
11:38I had to make sure you didn't end up making a fool of yourself, and it looks like you didn't.
11:42One sec.
11:43Nico came closer and opened my hair, setting them loose, and I felt something turn in my belly.
11:48I really needed to stop eating tuna.
11:50Just as he left, Dylan walked up to me and we left, but I couldn't shake Nico off my mind.
11:55It was so difficult to figure him out, and I was failing miserably at it.
11:59Dylan and I started dating officially.
12:01The first few days were great, but as time went by, I realized that we had nothing in common.
12:07He was totally self-obsessed and didn't give a hoot about anyone else.
12:11What do you think about my hair?
12:12How about my shirt?
12:13This is vintage Prada, by the way.
12:15I'm pretty sure you've never seen a shirt like this before, right?
12:18Well, you will now, because you're my girl.
12:20Have you seen my shoes?
12:21By the third date, I was practically yawning on Dylan's face, and I thought he felt the same.
12:26Except at the end of the night, he kissed me.
12:29Before I could react, a bunch of photographers jumped out of nowhere and started taking our pictures.
12:34I thought Dylan would tell them off, but instead he started posing.
12:37I panicked and hid behind a tree.
12:39Who is that?
12:40The paparazzi, obviously.
12:41They've tracked me down.
12:42Look, just come out.
12:43You can't hide like this.
12:45They'll make a joke out of me.
12:46Dylan pulled me out and introduced me as his girlfriend.
12:49At one time, this would have been my dream, dating Dylan.
12:52But now, I just wanted to run away.
12:54Soon, Dylan and I were the hot topic, and everyone wanted to know about the poor girl he was dating.
13:00We were constantly getting interviewed, and it was exhausting.
13:03Does Dylan snore while sleeping?
13:05Do I look like his mother?
13:07How am I supposed to know?
13:08Are you dating him because he's rich or because he's very rich?
13:12Are you talking like this because you're dumb or because you're really dumb?
13:16Calm down, babe.
13:17We fell in love.
13:18Although, I must say, Nico tried his best to sway her.
13:21She's so pretty.
13:22I wouldn't blame him.
13:23And he always wants what I have.
13:25Obviously, I'm better, and that's why we're together.
13:27That's not true.
13:28Nico...
13:29Oh, look at the time.
13:30I'm late for practice.
13:31Before I could say more, Dylan rushed us out of the interview.
13:34Why did you lie about Nico and me?
13:36He'd be so upset.
13:37You think I care?
13:38And you're supposed to be my girlfriend, so you should be on my side.
13:41I didn't know we were choosing sides.
13:43I thought you guys were a team.
13:45Team?
13:46Nico's anything but a team player.
13:47He's nothing like what he seems.
13:49You aren't either.
13:50With that, I slammed the car door and left.
13:53I was furious at the way Dylan was behaving, and I knew in my heart that I didn't want to be with him.
13:58I wanted to talk to Nico about it, but for the next few days, every time I tried,
14:02he'd make up excuses about being busy with his songwriting and just walk away.
14:06Then one day, I was coming out of the grocery store when I noticed Nico sitting in the coffee shop across the street.
14:12I was on my way to him when suddenly, a black van screeched out of nowhere,
14:16and two men in dark suits grabbed him, pushed him inside, and left.
14:20Nico was getting kidnapped.
14:22I stood there horrified for a few seconds, and then my brain sprang into action.
14:26Hey, can I borrow this bicycle?
14:28No?
14:29Never mind.
14:30I'm taking it anyway.
14:31Stop crying.
14:32It's important.
14:33Okay, so it was a really small bicycle, but it did the job.
14:36I pedaled with all my might, and didn't stop till I finally saw the van.
14:40Get out now and release Nico, or I'll kick your butt to whatever prison you came from.
14:45Step away from the car, you freak.
14:47You've damaged it.
14:48And I'll do a lot more than that if you don't let Nico go, you kidnapper.
14:51Mommy, who's this crazy lady?
14:53Wait, this wasn't the right van?
14:55Dang it.
14:56I apologized and ran home immediately to inform the rest of the boys that Nico had been kidnapped.
15:01But as soon as I got there, everyone was gone.
15:03Like, all their stuff was gone too.
15:05I tried calling Dylan, but he didn't answer, and neither did anyone else from the band.
15:10Had something happened to all of them?
15:12I decided to wait another hour before informing the police.
15:15But I guess I dozed off, because when I woke up, it was morning already.
15:18I rushed downstairs to Dad, watching the TV.
15:21And what I saw next was the most shocking news of my life.
15:25The news report said that Nico had faked his voice and had hired someone else to sing in his place.
15:30In fact, he never sang at all.
15:32He was just a songwriter.
15:34That was not true.
15:35Dylan was the one with the fake voice.
15:37I needed answers.
15:39And since no one was giving them to me, I decided to take things in my own hands.
15:43I knew it from the news that the Starboys were holed up in a hotel in California.
15:47So that's where I was going.
15:49Hey, Dad? Can you feed the chickens and make sure the pig doesn't run away again?
15:52I need to be somewhere. It's important.
15:54K, thanks, bye.
15:55I reached the hotel, but the place was bustling with media.
15:59Somehow, I made my way to the reception.
16:01Luckily, the staff recognized me as Dylan's girlfriend from all the useless interviews I gave with him and led me to their room.
16:07What are you doing here?
16:08First, I'm here to dump your sorry butt.
16:11And second, how dare you frame Nico and spread false news about him?
16:15It's you who's fake.
16:16You hired someone to sing in your place.
16:18You're the liar here.
16:19Calm down, you walking carnival.
16:21The only liar here is your beloved Nico.
16:24And you're about to find out why.
16:25I turned around to see Nico on TV with the same intruder guy I'd spotted in the boy's house.
16:30The news you've all been hearing is true.
16:32Everyone knows my dad's a big music producer who gave us our first break, and I wanted to take the top spot as the lead singer for myself.
16:39But I can't sing a note, so I hired this guy to do it for me.
16:42I'm ashamed of lying to my audience and my fans for so long, and I have no excuse except saying that I was young, naive, and stupid.
16:50I ask you all to forgive me, and also, I'm quitting the band.
16:53He's quitting the band?
16:54He can't.
16:55He writes all our songs.
16:56Aw, you're scared you'll have to actually prove you're better than Nico now?
17:00Dylan glared at me angrily, but I ignored him and left.
17:03But I was still reeling with shock at the truth.
17:06All of social media exploded with Nico's news.
17:09People were calling him a liar and a cheat.
17:11Even his dad was facing backlash.
17:13It was a huge mess.
17:14I was still shaken as I left for home that evening.
17:17When I got there, I saw Nico waiting on the porch for me.
17:20Nico, what are you doing here?
17:22And how are you?
17:23What do you think?
17:24I messed up big time.
17:25At least you're okay.
17:26First, I thought you were kidnapped.
17:28Then I thought Dylan had framed you.
17:30Then I found out you're a big fat liar.
17:32It's been a lot to process, man.
17:34About that day at the coffee shop, those guys you saw?
17:36They were my dad's bodyguards.
17:38I messaged dad that I wanted to come clean, and he came down here immediately to talk me out of it.
17:42That's all.
17:43I wasn't getting kidnapped, but yeah, you're right.
17:46I am a big fat liar.
17:48But Nico, why did you lie?
17:50Because I was stupid and spoiled and wanted popularity.
17:54And then I got addicted to it.
17:56But over time, it can become a huge burden.
17:58Living a lie?
17:59You feel like you've lost yourself.
18:01And then I met you, and you're the most original person I've ever seen.
18:05You inspired me to be more myself.
18:07And I should have never asked you to change for Dylan.
18:09Yeah, I'm an inspirational person.
18:11People tell me that all the time.
18:13In fact, when I was a kid-
18:14I'm still talking.
18:15Sorry, go on.
18:16Wait, I'm feeling a little itchy.
18:18Can you please scratch my back for me while you talk?
18:20What? Fine.
18:21Basically, what I'm trying to say is that I like you, Zoe.
18:24I did almost from the start.
18:26But you always had your heart set on Dylan, so I stayed quiet.
18:29And now, I think it's too late.
18:31What's late?
18:32Oh, you mean your confession?
18:33You know why I keep a half-eaten banana in my pocket, Nico?
18:36It's because I'm always prepared for the worst.
18:39And also because I'm always hungry.
18:41Anyway, the point is, I like you too, Nico.
18:43And I wish you would have told me the truth.
18:45But it's not always easy, and I get that.
18:47I think you were really brave to do it publicly.
18:49I mean, your career is tanked, but it was an admirable thing to do.
18:53So, you're saying you forgive me?
18:55Well, depends on how good of a kisser you are.
18:58Let's find out, shall we?
