My heart soared with joy as I stepped on stage for my latest local fashion show.

The crowd whistled and erupted with applause, which just made it sweeter.

Stop, stop, I'm blushing.

Anyway, welcome to the showcase of my spring collection.

I'm available for interviews, autographs, and compliments afterwards.

I love you all!

I blew a kiss to the audience as the lights dimmed and I walked off the runway.

Hi, I'm Sonia from Spain, and I'm a fashion designer who met success at only 15 years old.

I'm not a billionaire yet, but people tell me I'm well on my way.

Sorry, not to brag, but before I continue, please like and subscribe.

After the show, I was getting ready to go home when a man approached me and my parents with a crazy opportunity.

He was a recruiter for a fancy fashion school in New York City.

He said only the most gifted students attended, and that it would help me take my career to the next level.

Except, my parents were reluctant to send me so far away.

Sure, they could afford to, since we were ridiculously wealthy.

But they said I was too young and inexperienced to be out on my own in an unknown place.

I wasn't even used to cleaning my own room, since our maids always did it.

But I begged and pleaded until I finally convinced them.

And just like that, I was off to New York for a new chapter of my life.

On my first day of school, I was looking at my new schedule when a guy walked over with stars in his eyes.

Can I take a selfie with you?

I follow European designers and found you on Instagram, and I've been a huge fan of yours ever since.

Wow, that's so sweet.

You have good taste, cutie.

The guy leaned in for a selfie and our cheeks touched, which felt very nice.

He winked at me before he left.

Whoa, he was totally flirting with you.

His name's Ryder.

I thought he was gonna ask you out right on the spot.

Are you guys kidding?

Ryder probably isn't gonna date anyone ever again.

Last year, he dated a girl at school who turned out to be a psycho criminal.

She broke into his house one night and robbed it.

And when he broke up with her, she tried to set his bedroom on fire.

Even though she's in jail now, she's gonna come back to the school at some point.

Hopefully, Ryder gets a restraining order.

Geez, poor Ryder.

If that was me, I'd be living in fear 24-7.

A couple of weeks later, I was walking to the subway for a doctor's appointment.

When I saw Ryder, suddenly, we heard a crazy announcement through the speakers.

There was gonna be a hurricane, which meant they'd have to close down the station because it was too dangerous to go outside.

We'd have to sleep here tonight.

Wow, I guess that means you and I are gonna camp out here together.

Yep, I guess you're stuck here with me then.

So, in a way, I guess I'm happy there's a hurricane?

Is that an awful thing to say?

I laughed, and Ryder began to tell me how I was the one who inspired him to go into fashion design.

He'd even printed out a photo of me from Instagram to hang as a poster in his room.

I hope that's not creepy or anything.

I'll let you off the hook, cause I'm semi-famous.

And you're probably not the only guy who's smitten with me.

But there was one thing I was especially curious about.

What had happened with Ryder's criminal ex-girlfriend?

Ugh, that chick is in jail now, thank God.

She basically worked at her school as a teen model for runway shows.

Too bad she was such a psycho, cause she was insanely beautiful.

But I think you're prettier.

Ryder stared at me, and his cheeks turned bright pink.

I was dying for a boyfriend, and Ryder deserved someone sweet and pretty who wasn't gonna set his room on fire.

So on an impulse, I decided to kiss him.

After the station opened the next morning, Ryder asked me out, and just like that, we were an official couple.

Things went well for a couple of weeks, until one day, Ryder gave me some disturbing news.

Sonia, we're in danger.

My ex-girlfriend Jane got out of jail and she's coming back to school.

She's gonna come after us.

I just know it.

Oh man, I forgot those girls had told me Ryder's ex was coming back to school.

Was I risking my life by dating this guy?

Maybe I should just break up with him.

But Ryder was panicking and hyperventilating like a baby.

Dumping his butt right now would probably make me a jerk.

When Jane returned the following week, all eyes turned to her.

Ryder was right.

Jane was extremely beautiful, but she also wore tattered black clothes

and had a crazy look in her eyes that freaked me out.

I was sure Jane knew who I was, since Ryder and I were the school's hottest couple.

Well, as long as I avoided her and didn't get all lovey-dovey with Ryder in public, I should be safe, right?

But one day after class, something horrible happened.

The teacher called me over to tell me Jane was struggling with schoolwork and I had to help her out.

I was assigned as her tutor for the whole semester.

Sure, you have to tell the teacher to ask for someone else.

I don't want my ex giving you any trouble.

But we didn't have a choice.

Jane and I sat in the library together after school, and I was positive she was giving me death glares.

So, rumor has it you're an Instagram famous designer who's dating my ex-boyfriend.

Okay.

Yeah, it's true.

We're an item.

If you want to punch me in the face, I get it.

But can you avoid my nose?

Because it's my best feature.

I never said I'd punch you, geez.

I just feel bad for you.

Ryder's a loser, and you're way out of his league.

As the semester went on, I continued tutoring Jane, and we actually became friends.

She never told me the details of what happened between her and Ryder, and I tried not to rub my relationship with him in her face.

I thought Jane was cool.

She also had some crazy stories to share from when she was in prison, but my boyfriend was not pleased with our relationship.

You're supposed to tutor her, not become her new sidekick.

100

Jane is not a girl that can be trusted.

101

One day, she's gonna put you in danger.

102

Don't be a drama king.

103

I know she's done some messed up stuff, but she seems super chill now.

104

Then one night, things took quite a turn.

105

I was getting ready for bed when Jane came into my dorm, begging me to come with her downstairs and outside.

106

I have to show you something important.

107

She led me to a mysterious car, which was unlocked, and then she hopped into it.

108

I thought this was weird, but I was kind of in the mood for a midnight adventure.

109

So, what is it that you want to show me?

110

We're going on a little road trip, Sonia.

111

You're in for a surprise.

112

At that second, I noticed we were heading down a sketchy, secluded road.

113

Suddenly, I had a bad feeling.

114

Oh my god, you're totally kidnapping me, aren't you?

115

That is so rude and illegal!

116

I opened the door and started to run.

117

I was such a moron for trusting a girl with a criminal record.

118

But moments later, Jane caught up to me.

119

Sonia, where are you going?

120

I wasn't kidnapping you.

121

I wanted to surprise you and take you somewhere special and romantic.

122

The truth is, I really like you.

123

Wait, you have a crush on me?

124

And you had to whisk me away in the middle of the night to tell me this?

125

Anyway, you are super pretty, but I have a boyfriend, man.

126

Sonia, Ryder's a pathetic loser.

127

The summer we dated, my mom and I got kicked out of our apartment

128

and we were living on the streets so I asked if I could stay with him for a couple of nights.

129

But he said no, and that he'd never be caught dead associating with a dirty homeless girl.

130

Yeah, I robbed his place because I was mad.

131

But it was also because we were desperate for money.

132

And yeah, I set his room on fire too.

133

I was really upset.

134

I was speechless as Jane told me all of this.

135

All of this was a shock to hear.

136

Jane took my hand right then, and my heart raced.

137

Everything was happening way too fast.

138

I needed to be alone, back at my dorm, now.

139

Jane drove us back, but I could tell she was upset.

140

In fact, the next day, she didn't speak to me at all and even canceled our tutoring session.

141

So Ryder said he'd take me out to a movie instead.

142

But after what had happened last night, I just wasn't in the mood to go on a date.

143

Sonia, what's up with you?

144

Is there anything I need to know about?

145

I told Ryder everything, and when I was done, his face was purple with rage.

146

Just then, Jane walked by, and he lost it.

147

You've done a lot of messed up things, but kidnapping my girlfriend and trying to manipulate her?

148

You're playing a very dangerous game.

149

I'm just trying to prevent her from falling for such an awful, disgusting human.

150

And don't stand so close to me.

151

Jane pushed Ryder backwards and he was about to lunge back at her when a teacher separated them.

152

They were both sent to the principal's office, but Jane begged to go to the bathroom first.

153

And when the teacher gave in, she asked me if we could talk.

154

Why would you even want to keep dating Ryder after what I told you?

155

Doesn't it make you angry how he treated me?

156

I had no idea how to answer.

157

God, why did I have to be in the middle of this?

158

Well, maybe it was because Jane had feelings for me.

159

She was already trying to hold my hand again and stare into my eyes.

160

And as lovely as she was, this was all getting to be too much.

161

I told Jane I needed some time to think about it.

162

You know what?

163

Forget it, Sonia.

164

Keep dating this heartless jerk who left my mom and I to starve.

165

It's not like you'll ever know what that's like.

166

You're just a spoiled brat who lives in her own world.

167

Yeah, I said it, witch.

168

People like you and Ryder have never suffered a day in their rich, cushy lives.

169

That is so not true!

170

My life can be stressful, I'm always getting Instagram notifications, everyone's obsessed with me, so I can never get any peace and quiet.

171

Also, there's never any excuse for robbing houses or setting bedrooms on fire, no matter what.

172

Ryder was smart to dump you, and just like that, I chose Ryder over Jane.

173

Who did she think she was blaming the world for her problems?

174

Luckily, she ended up transferring the next year, and Ryder and I stayed together.

175

By the time we graduated, I'd reached international fame for my designs, just as I dreamed.

176

I even bought a fancy apartment for Ryder and I to live in after high school.

177

One night, we'd invited my parents over for dinner, but as I was cooking, I started feeling dizzy and suddenly blacked out.

178

When I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital with Ryder, my parents, and a nurse.

179

You had a serious accident, miss.

180

We're gonna run some tests and figure out what's wrong.

181

Then an hour later, the doctors hit me with scary news.

182

I had a medical condition that would leave me feeling weak all of the time.

183

For the next several weeks, I wasn't able to do anything.

184

I was literally too weak to leave my bed, which meant Ryder cooked and cleaned and stayed by my side every minute.

185

I felt bad, but I didn't know what to do.

186

Then one day, things really got out of hand.

187

Ryder got a huge work opportunity in Paris, but on the night he was supposed to leave, they had a health emergency and had to be rushed to the hospital.

188

Babe, it's okay.

189

You can still leave for Paris.

190

I'll manage.

191

No, it's fine.

192

Leaving you would make me look like the world's biggest jerk.

193

But after that, I felt my boyfriend growing really resentful, and one night, he totally lost it.

194

You've become a complete burden.

195

Do you know how exhausted I am, fetching your medicine and cooking for you?

196

And I turned down the biggest opportunity of a lifetime.

197

I I could have become 10 times richer and more successful than you.

198

I think you're exaggerating this illness.

199

You've just become a lazy freeloader.

200

Ryder, that's not true.

201

I really miss working.

202

What if I hire a nurse so you can get back to your life?

203

Except later that day, I discovered I couldn't hire a nurse because my bank account was empty.

204

How was that possible?

205

I've made millions of dollars from my designs.

206

How could it all be gone?

207

Unless...

208

Hey, so, funny story.

209

I don't have any money in my account, even though I'm a millionaire.

210

You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

211

Oh, yeah, I meant to tell you.

212

I used your credit card to buy a beach house upstate.

213

Just for myself, though.

214

You've become pretty depressing to be around.

215

You spent all my money on some beach house?

216

It's our money.

217

We have a shared account.

218

It's still money that I earned.

219

And you know my condition's been hard on everybody, but it's not my fault.

220

I can't believe you.

221

That week, I filed a report against Ryder to get my money back.

222

I couldn't believe how selfish and insensitive he'd become.

223

This was not the guy I fell in love with.

224

So I made him move out of my place and blocked his number.

225

I already felt better with that jerk out of my life.

226

Over time, my health improved and I had more energy.

227

I was working out in the park when suddenly someone came up to me.

228

Holy crud, it was Jane.

229

Sonia, is that you?

230

Whoa, long time no see.

231

Um, how are you?

232

I've been good.

233

And I heard you're doing well too.

234

And that you and Ryder moved in together after high school.

235

Yeah, we did.

236

Um, but we broke up a month ago.

237

I don't know why, but I started pouring my heart out to Jane about everything that happened.

238

I guess I finally saw that selfish side of Ryder you told me about.

239

I'm sorry I wasn't more sympathetic to your situation in high school.

240

But what can I say?

241

I was a spoiled brat living in my own world.

242

Jane just laughed and rolled her eyes at me.

243

I found out that she'd gotten into medical school and hadn't robbed anyone or been to jail in years.

244

Good for her, right?

245

It's so good to see you again, girl.

246

It's good to see you too.

247

We have a lot to catch up on.
