you know when your life is dreamy and amazing and just perfect a mopping up ice cream A kid threw up and someone left teeth in the tip jar what do you think you lucky you're used to bad things would you rather be me having everything and losing it all I feel like you want to tell me your story how long is this going to take not that long okay so it all started 17 years ago when I arrived in this world as a beautiful baby girl of course you came as a baby girl with eyes
as blue as corn flowers why are you stating the obvious my mother wrapped me up in a cashmere blanket which was the perfect shade of lavender interestingly Lavender is my favorite color that's not interesting come on get to the part where your life gets bad and if you tell me you tripped on a corn flower and broke your lavender shoe I really liked that shoe and I tripped on a sunflower okay okay I swear you're going to love how much worse my life gets do you guys want to hear the long version or the short
one fine the short one then my name is Olivia and before I continue please like And subscribe my dad was the owner of a tech startup don't ask me what the startup is about I have no idea I tried finding out many times but the conversation always goes something like this Daddy can you tell me more about your Tech startup of course sweetheart basically we're using Cutting Edge algorithms to optimize data what a pretty butterfly on that Rose I need to send my rose pink dress to the dry cleaners our platform synergizes complex neural networks
with cloud-based infrastructures but I don't have the right shoes with that dress maybe I need new shoes or maybe I need a new dress with our blockchain architecture we're able to establish an ecosystem that Daddy has wrinkles on his forehead I should give him night cream on his birthday in short we are revolutionizing the industry that's amazing Daddy I don't know man your guess is as good as mine the important part is that his startup made us very very rich like take a private jet to your private island kind of Rich we lived in a
huge mansion where Mom and I had closets as big as rooms and clothes and shoes for days my life was a whirlwind of glamorous parties fancy vacations and Global shopping spree I went to a great private school had tons of friends who adored me and the cherry on top of my sweet life was Dad's friend son my dream booat boyfriend Chad I really had everything then it all went to hell one day when I tripped on a sunflower and broke the heel of my fourth favorite lavender shoe are you kidding me it's about to get
course I promise I was meeting Chad in the park my heel broke so I had to walk Barefoot I was crossing the track when this stupid kid on roller skates ran right over my toes I screamed and fell back on my butt and then out of nowhere a crow started attacking me it was the most bizarre Day by the time I reached our usual spot I was in a foul mood but suddenly seeing the golden hour light hitting Chad's perfect face everything else melted away I could take all the ups and downs of life with
Chad by my side I think we should break up liby break up what babe us we should break up I've accepted an offer at a university across the country and I don't think we can make longdistance work I I don't understand like stars departing at Dawn's first light our Destinies Ascend separate Horizons what our hearts like birds in migration must seek Divergent Skies to find our true selves I am so confused right now I love you liby but we're too young to tie ourselves down it's best to part ways and if we're to be we'll
find each other again then he kissed me on the cheek and just left me there o that's rough the story's finally getting good you're such a stist I was depressed for days and just sobbed in bed as I watched MSA love stories I always thought Chad and I would be up there one day with our own little video I mean look at me my face is a dream for any animator to work with anyway just when I thought the worst thing in my life had already happened the police showed up one night and arrested dad
for embezzlement he was charged for stealing money from his investors and before I knew it my life really turned upside down most of our assets were seized by the government and we had to leave our house only with things we could carry I managed to put on 14 dresses nine shirts four pants five coats six pairs of shoes and two bags mom and I moved into a tiny apartment on the Poor Side of Town and we got a lawyer but it looked like an open and shut case with too much evidence against dad and he
was sentenced to prison for a decade I swear I'm innocent I've been framed I need you to believe that I'm not a crook of course we believe you Daddy we'll get your name cleared I promise naturally my first course of action was reaching out to Dad's friends for help you need to leave I can't be seen with you uh my girlfriend is a very suspicious woman aren't you married exactly I wasn't running away from you I was just getting some exercise oh look what an unusual bird where I recently hid my head and I have
amnesia I don't know who your dad is or why he made me your godfather you're my godfather got to go I need to poop Chad's father was out of town and I was so relieved when he returned he was dad's BFF if anyone would help he would I'm sorry but sir is still away on business his car just passed me as I was walking here you must be mistaken he's not home I can literally see him in his study from that window let me put this another way Miss he clearly stated that whenever you show
up here I have to say he's not home that just made my heart break no one wanted anything to do with Dad because they all thought he was a crook next I turned to my own friends and I only met more closed doors wow really Penelope remember the only person who could look you in the face when you went through your hideous acne phase and remember whose shoulder you cried on when the plastic surgeon botched your nose job and remember who took the blame for your smelly fart when we were hanging out with your crush
you know it me mom had the same luck with everyone she knew she she soon took up a job in a grocery store and enrolled me in the nearby public school I thought I might feel better with the distraction but I was a fish out of water here the kids smirked at my clothes they smirked when they asked me if my dad was the rich guy who went to prison and they smirked as they walked past me at lunch mom got her first paycheck soon and she took me out for a manicure to cheer me
up as I stared down at my perfect Lavender Nails the next day at school I felt more positive than I had in weeks I wouldn't sit alone at lunch anymore I would get to know these kids and they'd get to know me and they'd see how lovable I was and I went flying forward with my food tray and fell flat on my face as I got up feeling hideously embarrassed I suddenly noticed it two of my nails were chipped My Perfect Nails not so perfect anymore who is the idiotic pea brain buffoon who crashed into
me oh come on we were just playing ball in the cafeteria did the football field Catch Fire did an earthquake split it open did a tsunami watch away hey calm down weirdo what's the matter with you you want to know what's the matter with me I had a perfect life I had the perfect parents and the perfect friends and the perfect house and the perfect boyfriend and if my name wasn't Olivia it would have been Perfection but then it all started blowing up the day I tripped on a sunflower and broke my lavender shoe now
I'm here in this stupid School looking like some hobo with chipped Nails I jumped onto that boy and started pulling his hair and pinching his nose and twisting his ears it took several people to get me off of him and then I started crying uncontrollably I could barely breathe I think she's having a panic attack give her some space guys Hey Olivia look at me you're going to be okay just breathe so yeah I lost my mind you helped me calm down and brought me to your workplace I had to you were in shock and
clinging to my arm like a python and now you know my whole story you're probably thinking look at this whiny rich girl who lost some money and can handle it but it's not just that I never realized before that my entire life was so fragile I just never saw this coming Jackson reached over and put his hand on mine I wasn't thinking that you've been through a lot and I'm sorry thanks by the way how tall are you 6' 4 in no wonder I've been feeling so tiny all day my life still sucked but it
sucked a little less now that I had a friend Jackson was so different from any of the guys I'd known he didn't talk about sports cars or the newest smartphones or the best companies to invest in but he taught me how I could cut out grocery coupons from newspapers what the cheapest bus route was and how to ride a bicycle he even got me a waitressing job at the cafe and covered up for my mistakes he lived in a tiny rundown house with his mom and three younger sisters and even though they didn't have much
I was always made to feel welcome one day at the park while Jackson was feeding the ducks with his sisters I accidentally knocked over his backpack and a Sketchbook fell out I opened it to find the most amazing comic drawings I leafed through the pages and found a sketch of me and then another and then another what do you think you're doing I'm sorry it just fell out Jackson You're so talented it's just a silly hobby it's not silly are you going to apply to an art school in case you haven't noticed I'm poor I
have to work right out of high school but you're too good to not take this seriously you have to can we please not talk about this okay and I didn't make your sketches because I have a crush on you or something you're just a new interesting face does interesting means same as pretty not necessarily so you don't think I'm pretty you're not not pretty and what is pretty anyway there's no set standard shut up Jackson you said Olivia is the prettiest girl you've ever met no I didn't I said Bolivia has the prettiest girls that
I've never met he wrote a poem in his diary about your eyes being blue with corn flowers and what was the next line girls I could stare into those Sapphire Lakes for hours my diary you see what I mean I need to earn money to put them all in a mental institution I couldn't stop laughing as he chased the girls away and I felt a warm tingle in my toes at the thought that maybe Jackson liked me a few weeks later we were sitting in the cafeteria when I got an email alert on my phone
and Jackson noticed my face fall what's wrong oh it's just that Witch penelopy she's hosting her grand annual Halloween party and I guess she just forgot to take me off the invite list forget I mentioned it okay then so my mom's making her famous shepherd's pie this weekend and she thinks I don't know what the secret ingredient is I think I want to go to the party what why because I well I want revenge Penelope and all these people hurt me and I want to hurt them back what would you even do I don't have
it all planned out but I want to ruin her stupid party because it means a lot to her and her stupid friends and you should come with me no and you shouldn't go either you'll get in trouble it's Halloween we'll be in cumes no one will recognize us and we won't be there for too long and Penelope will have the best food I'm certain she stolen my caterer I don't know please I need this and I don't want to go alone all right the food better be good on the night of Penelope's Halloween party Jackson
and I took the bus to the rich part of town and walked the last few blocks to Penelope's house no one's going to recognize me right you're dressed like an evil eggplant it's very unlikely you look good as a tree very tall and leafy now you remember the plan right right make as many things go wrong as possible am I forgetting anything nope that's the whole plan let's go Penelope's place was swarming with guests and no one paid much attention to us as we slipped in and we got down to our mission right away we
sneaked off all the black and gold balloons and made them fly away we messed up the fake cobwebs and smashed some carved pumpkins we locked up the kitchen doors and we threw the keys in the swimming pool where did all the balloons go I ordered 500 of them people watch where you're going you're smashing the pumpkins and walking into the cobwebs and where are all the waiters why is there no food as Penelope stormed off towards the kitchen Jackson and I high-fived should we go now oh no this was just a warm-up Penelope always has
a surprise celebrity singer perform at her Halloween parties and I know this time it's Harry Styles we have to wreck his concert it'll drive her crazy no that's going too far someone will catch us can you stop being such a scaredy cat just tell me if you're in or out Olivia I think I'm out and then he actually left fine I'd finish the job myself I ran off to the back of the house where I knew all the power supply boards would be I spotted a toolbox nearby picked up a plier and started snipping away
at every wire I wouldn't let this concert happen I'd ruin the whole party everyone would remember it as the worst Halloween ever just then I saw a figure emerge from the Shadows hey what do you think you're doing I flung The pliers to one side and started running for my life across the garden but my stupid eggplant costume was slowing me down and suddenly I found myself being pushed forward and pinned to the ground when the person chasing me turned me over I saw that it was Chad how do you know my oh my God
Livy is that you why are you an eggplant actually what are you doing here I could ask you the same question my whole life blew up and you couldn't send a text but you made sure you didn't miss Penelope's party listen just then a pretty girl I'd never seen before came running behind us babe are you okay who's this creep I'll call security no don't there's been a misunderstanding babe is that what she just called you who are you and why are you dressed up like an eggplant because Baba Gan is my favorite dip not
that it's any of your business I pushed Chad away and stormed off tears pouring down my face I just made it a few blocks down when I ran into a tree I'm so sorry I shouldn't have left you behind I came back now let's go destroy Penelope no I'm done coming here was a stupid idea let's just go home Jack I felt more crushed and betrayed than ever I was busy sulking in bed the next day when Mom called me saying I had a visitor I walked out into the lounge to see it was Chad
mom why did you let him in you should hear him out honey mom left the room and Chad hesitantly sat down next to me is it okay if I sit here you're already sitting here and no none of this is okay in fact this is giving me a fuzzy flashback to when you were sitting down next to me on a park bench wait wait It's All Coming Back to Me Now yes there I am with my bleeding toes and broken shoe and yep that's you walking away after breaking my heart you have every right to
be mad I was such a fool Livy I thought I was doing the right thing long-distance relationships are so hard I just panicked I know what I did was awful but I swear I never stopped thinking about you just long enough to meet that blonde twig who called you babe she was just my date for yesterday I don't care about your love life but what I'm really angry about is I know you're dad I wanted to reach out to you but my dad forbade it he's one of the investors in your dad's company he feels
betrayed by what your father did Dad is innocent okay I expected his friends to believe that the evidence against him is too strong you've got to face facts he committed a crime but I'm sorry you're also paying the price I asked around about you after we met yesterday and I couldn't believe you're living in this neighborhood now for the first time the thought crossed my mind that maybe dad was the one who was wrong and I burst into tears Chad hugged me I'm in town for few weeks and I'm going to try to get Dad
and the other investors to go easier on your dad with his prison sentence you'll really try I can't promise anything but I'll try my best Livy I walked Chad out of the apartment building and as I was going back in Jackson suddenly popped up so who was that guy with enough gel in his hair to set all the cheesecakes in America that was Chad Chad like your ex-boyfriend Chad like the guy who broke up with you on a park bench Chad yes that Chad that's such a stupid name Chad is a country isn't Jackson a
city not the same thing what was Chad doing here offering to help me why would you trust him because he's the only shot I've got at helping dad Chad started turning up almost every day and even though I hadn't forgiven him for the way he'd broken up with me I could see he really regretted it he was extra attentive he seemed to remember all my favorite pastries and perfumes and never came without a gift and when he'd take me for drives around the city I almost felt like like my old self again one afternoon as
I was leaving school Jackson caught up with me want to go to the park today nah I'm tired how about you come to my place tomorrow my annoying sisters miss you I have a thing a Chad thing right look it's none of my business except as your friend I would advise you not to date Chad again we're not dating we're just meeting up to discuss dad's case and what's the progress on that he's working on it okay then enjoy your thing tomorrow don't do those dumb air quotes it's not a date why don't you come
with me we're just going to an art exhibition and then having dinner sounds like a date it's not a date you giraff join us Chad won't mind Chad didn't look too happy either and I could see the way he looked Jackson up and down disapprovingly but things got worse in the art gallery wow what a stunning piece of art holy mother of noodles that's for $50,000 it's a picture of a rotting Apple it shows the complexities and slow ruin of post-modern societ dude it's an ugly Apple I could draw this with my left foot in
my sleep I didn't expect you to know anything about art but you're even more a Chad he's an artist too and he's your guest so be nice okay I thought I'd manage the situation but it got worse over dinner Chad had just raised his glass and was about to say something when Jackson exclaimed oh no Grandma ran away from my aunt's house she climbed out of a third story window and fell oh my God is she okay my sister is just updating me yeah she survived the fall but then she went out to the lake
on a paddle booat and fell in the water what did she drown okay no apparently she's a very good swimmer but then she went to a diner and choked on her food is she still alive thankfully yes someone in the diner performed the heick maneuver on her but she's in the hospital for a mild concussion can we leave early so I can see her of course you can leave now I'll call you an Uber I can stay for the main course we'll skip toer anyway before I was interrupted did I was about to make a
toast to us Livy friendship much like the delicate Petals of a rare flower unfurls its beauty only to those who possess the refined senses to savor its Exquisite fragrance amidst the mundane Garden of existence that's lovely I'm sorry what does that even mean excuse me why do you think it's cool to say vague nonsense friends don't treat friends the way you've treated Olivia in the past can't you be honest about anything why don't you start with her and tell her you don't actually have any plans to help her you want honesty I Think You're a
worthless piece of trash before I knew it Chad had attacked Jackson and they were in a full scale fight bumping into waiters and falling onto tables several people managed to pull them apart and I dragged Jackson outside what were you thinking he attacked me you provoked him look Olivia I don't get mad a lot it's scary for people when I get mad because I look like a tall angry windmill so I keep it in and stay calm mostly but I'm mad right now how can you even stand that pretentious windbag because he belongs to my
world this is the life I had before you go to stupid exhibitions and talk about trivial things over food and laugh at dumb jokes and you didn't even give him a chance you were determined to hate him just because he's a rich guy is that what you really think of me you know what I'm the problem here I don't belong in your world Jackson walked off and my heart sank he wouldn't even reply to any of my texts or calls later and he avoided me in school entirely a few days later Chad asked me to
come over to his place to have a talk with his dad and I arrived early as I walked towards the study I suddenly heard raised voices and I stopped outside that girl is really coming here right now Chad what is the matter with you look Dad when you told me that you and the other investors were making a fake case against her father to get control of his company I was totally on board and I broke up with Livy and left because you didn't want me to be associated with her after her dad got a
bad reputation but I didn't realize Livy and her mom would have everything taken away from them what else did you think was going to happen son I don't know I just thought the dad would go to jail and we'd be richer it's not fair she lives in a dump now and how are they supposed to afford shampoo and makeup and all the creams and serums they use just lie to her and say you're working on getting her dad out of jail sooner so she feels better and maybe we can give her some money every month
fine my son is such a philanthropist don't get serious about her again though Dad I'm 18 I'm not serious about anyone I'm leaving in 2 weeks anyway I've just been nice to her because she was never very tough and I feel sorry for her I stepped away quietly blood pounding in my head I felt Fury beyond anything I'd ever felt in my life I texted Chad that I couldn't come over and I went home and told Mom everything we stayed up half the night trying to think about how we could get proof of Dad's innocence
we finally fell asleep exhausted but the next morning morning I woke up to Mom's screams I rushed to the lounge and saw the TV on with the news that Chad's father and all the other investors in dad's business had been arrested how what are they being arrested for they're saying on the news that some Anonymous employee in the company had approached the FBI some time ago claiming that Chad's father and the other investors framed your dad and are still involved in other illegal activities so the FBI had bugged the investors houses and offices I guess
they overheard the conversation between Chad and and his father that you heard yesterday too dad's lawyer called he's going to be released tomorrow later I went to Chad's place as it was being sealed by the FBI officers Livy it's not what you think no only I will talk now I heard the entire conversation between you and your dad yesterday with my own ears and I just came to say I hate you I despise you with a burning Rage of a thousand Sons I loathe you with the force of a 100 typhoons I wish only bad
things to happen to you and my wish is coming true as we speak you will lose everything and you're not even half as tough as me you will really suffer and I will dance with joy knowing that then I punched his perfect nose and stormed off well actually I skipped off happily and headed straight for the cafe I spotted Jackson taking someone's order and ran to him Jackson my dad's innocent and he's getting out of jail tomorrow Chad's father framed him and he's been arrested I punched Chad I'm going to get my life back I'm
working right now my shift ends in a while I can't wait okay I can't stand that you're not talking to me and I know that it's my own fault I'm sorry I said you were jealous of Chad cuz he's Rich you were right about everything he's an obnoxious jerk and that Apple painting was so ugly also if there's anything I've learned it's that I don't want all of my old life back I don't want to have fake conversations or fake friends who turn away at the lowest point of your life I want people like you
you literally saved me and I love you for that also you're very tall which is hotter than you know Jackson just stared back at me and then suddenly his sisters burst in with a huge bunch of lavender balloons a congratulations banner and a cake are we late do you know how hard it is to find lavender balloons I dropped a cake on the way we can scrape off some of the icing I told you girls we're meeting at Olivia's Place not here we heard the news about your dad and we were coming over after my
shift even though you were mad at me I can't stay mad at you look just let me take this customer's order just kiss her you hey don't call him a but seriously just kiss me dummy wait wait how's your grandma doing you want to talk about my grandma right now actually I don't have one I made up that whole thing to annoy Chad I like you even more right now [Music] [Applause] [Music]
