1
Hi, my name is Grace.
2
Or more accurately, our name is Grace.
3
I know this might sound confusing, so please, guys, kick your annoying brother out of the room and focus,
4
because you'll need all your brain cells for this.
5
You see, Mom was very, very poor.
6
She was also young, alone, and completely terrified when she gave birth to us.
7
And by us, I mean triplets.
8
Three identical girls.
9
She gave birth to all three of us alone at home.
10
But because she was scared and didn't know any better, she only registered one baby.
11
She was terrified that if anyone found out that she had three newborns and no money, they'd take us away.
12
So officially, Mom had one daughter, Grace.
13
In reality, there were three of us.
14
No one outside our house knew the truth, so Mom did everything she could to hide us.
15
She even had a secret door built into the basement so we could sneak in and out without anyone seeing.
16
We could never go outside together.
17
One of us had to leave, come back, and only then could the next one go.
18
Yep, such a normal childhood.
19
But obviously, we couldn't call each other Grace.
20
That would have been way too confusing.
21
So we gave each other our own names.
22
The oldest, who loved acting like those 90 seconds made her our queen, was called Queen.
23
She hated everyone, except cute boys.
24
Around them, her attitude magically disappeared.
25
But don't let that fool you.
26
The girl was still terrifying.
27
Mom was scared of her too.
28
Queen vaped, carried pocket knives, and treated our house like a military base.
29
I only slept for 13 hours.
30
You were quiet at first, but of course you couldn't control yourselves.
31
You just had to go to the bathroom, cook food, breathe, and exist.
32
So I lost one whole hour of sleep because of you idiots.
33
I swear, if this ever happens again, I'll kick your butts.
34
Except for you, Mom.
35
It's okay, honey.
36
I understand if you have to.
37
Sometimes I do breathe too loudly.
38
Then there was the middle one.
39
She was a cheerleader and the dumbest, wildest, most reckless person I had ever met.
40
So we called her Riot.
41
Come on, girls.
42
Dinner is ready.
43
I make fish.
44
Wait.
45
Is fish beef or chicken?
46
It's fish.
47
Okay.
48
Support.
49
And then there was me, Tito.
50
I know, it's a childish name.
51
But Queen gave it to me because I loved burritos when I was little, and I used to call them Tito's.
52
I was the smart one.
53
I spent most of my time on the computer, learning random things no one asked me to learn.
54
Honestly, that was the only interesting thing about me.
55
My mean, chaotic sisters spent most of their time annoying me
56
and dragging me into disasters I never asked to be a part of.
57
So, yep, you guys are stuck with the boring one.
58
But people change, don't they?
59
And trust me, hiding in a basement with Queen and Riot gives you plenty of reasons to change.
60
Let me start from the beginning and show you how three people lived one life.
61
For school, we split the weekdays between us.
62
I went two days, Riot went two days, and Queen went one day because, obviously, she thought school was a waste of time.
63
We each had our own style, too.
64
Queen wore black clothes, mostly skirts with sharp glasses.
65
Riot dressed in bright colors with long rainbow socks and rectangular glasses.
66
And I wore cardigans and round nerdy glasses.
67
Like, I reminded teachers about homework.
68
For exams, we had a system.
69
Each of us studied one -third of the material.
70
Then, during the test, one of us would ask to go to the bathroom.
71
I need to use the bathroom.
72
I'm constipated.
73
Ew.
74
Just go.
75
The other two would be secretly waiting and we'd switch places.
76
I need to go again.
77
Now I have diarrhea.
78
Jesus, I don't need updates.
79
Just go.
80
Then I'd go in last, fix their answers, and save our grade.
81
Because unlike Riot, I knew the Civil War did not happen in 2009.
82
And unlike Queen, I knew mind your own business was not a valid answer to every question.
83
They had no idea.
84
And that didn't only happen at school.
85
We had to use the same system for basically every part of our lives.
86
Like the hairdresser in our neighborhood.
87
She was always confused whenever one of us walked in.
88
Wait, didn't I wax your eyebrows and lip last week?
89
Sweetie, you grow hair like a weed.
90
And honestly, I didn't even hate her for that.
91
I hated her because she was a straight -up crook who overcharged everyone and somehow always forgot to give change.
92
So Queen decided, we needed revenge.
93
And whenever Queen said, revenge, it usually meant I was about to suffer.
94
One day, we walked into her shop with a bunch of jars of Vaseline
95
and olive oil and told her… We had invented a 30 -second hair color mask.
96
Riot went in first.
97
To our lovely hairdresser, I brought a miracle.
98
This mask changes hair color in 30 seconds.
99
Just mix in whatever dye you want, put it on their hair, and boom!
100
New hair.
101
There's no such thing.
102
Do you think I'm stupid?
103
No. Watch.
104
Put it on me and close your eyes for 30 seconds.
105
The second she closed her eyes, Riot ran out and Queen walked in wearing the exact same clothes, but with a different hair color.
106
No way, that's impossible.
107
Are you calling us liars?
108
I mean, me?
109
Are you calling me a liar?
110
Fine, let's try green.
111
Then Queen went out and I walked in with the stupid green hair my sisters had forced on me.
112
I don't know what kind of witchcraft this is, but I'll take every jar you have.
113
So yeah, we made a bunch of money.
114
Queen called it justice.
115
Riot called it business.
116
And I spent the next year looking like a cursed broccoli.
117
But even when we had money, Mom was too paranoid to let us have separate phones.
118
Three phones means three chances for you girls to mess up and expose yourselves.
119
So here, one phone.
120
Each of you gets eight hours a day.
121
Eight hours?
122
Seriously?
123
Mom, you know I'm the important one and Tito already has a computer.
124
Did you hear me complain?
125
Then, Queen hit the picture frame beside her so hard, the glass cracked.
126
Mom looked scared for a second and swallowed so loudly, even I heard it.
127
Of course not, honey.
128
You're very generous.
129
You can keep the phone most of the time.
130
I just don't want
131
Riot or Tito doing something stupid.
132
You think I'm stupid?
133
Then I'll prove I'm not.
134
I can fix that.
135
She grabbed the cracked picture frame, pressed both hands against the glass, and smiled.
136
The whole thing immediately shattered.
137
A second later, Riot looked down at her bleeding fingers, blinked twice, and started crying in pain.
138
Actually, I meant Tito.
139
She might do something stupid.
140
Maybe Tito can have it for just a half hour a day?
141
Mom looked at me nervously, silently begging me to go along with it.
142
I sighed, gave her a thumbs up, grabbed a broom, and cleaned up the broken glass.
143
Of course, Queen still used the phone most of the time.
144
Mostly during class.
145
And of course, teachers kept catching her.
146
Whenever they took it away, Mom sent me to get it back.
147
I'd put on my most innocent face and say things like, I'm so sorry, I've learned my lesson,
148
I'll never use my phone in class again, blah blah blah.
149
And they believed me.
150
That was basically my job in the family.
151
Riot and Queen caused chaos, and I cleaned it up.
152
Until one day, everything changed.
153
One afternoon, Riot made me go to her cheerleading practice.
154
She said she was exhausted, and if she missed one more practice, she'd get kicked off the team.
155
So I thought, fine, one practice.
156
How bad could it be?
157
Except it wasn't practice.
158
It was a real performance before a basketball game.
159
I was standing there in Riot's cheer uniform, staring at the crowd.
160
Then the head cheerleader, Molly, noticed me.
161
Molly was the school's queen bully, and she got away with everything because her dad donated a ton of money,
162
and Principal Brackett, the meanest man on earth, basically worshipped her family.
163
Oh, Grace, you actually showed up.
164
The girls told me what you said about me.
165
What did I say?
166
That I dance like a peahen in distress every time a peacock walks by.
167
What the heck does that even mean?
168
Don't act innocent.
169
You know our peacock inside joke, and now you're using it against me.
170
Since you're so funny, I think you're ready to be the top flyer.
171
I had no idea what a top flyer was.
172
Unfortunately, I found out three seconds later.
173
The music started.
174
The crowd screamed.
175
And suddenly, six girls were lifting me into the air like I was a sacrifice.
176
For one tiny second, I loved it.
177
I could see the whole gym, the basketball court, the crowd, the exits I should have used.
178
Then I started wobbling, then screaming, then falling.
179
I landed right on Molly and heard a crack so loud my soul left my body.
180
Everyone froze.
181
I didn't know what to do.
182
So I grabbed a pom -pom, raised it in the air, and yelled, Go Tigers!
183
Someone in the crowd shouted, We're not even the Tigers!
184
Get off the court, you idiot!
185
My face got so hot, I thought my hair was going to catch on fire.
186
So I ran.
187
I didn't know where to go, especially with Molly limping right behind me like an angry, broken flamingo.
188
I reached the school counselor's office and was about to knock.
189
But before my hand touched the door, Molly grabbed me by my ponytail and yanked me back.
190
I turned around and saw her head tilting weirdly to one side from the injury, which made her look even scarier.
191
Then her minions showed up behind her, and suddenly, I wasn't being confronted.
192
I was being jumped.
193
I tried to push them away, but there was too many of them.
194
Hands grabbed my hair, my arms, my uniform, and for a second, I genuinely thought, Well, this is how I die.
195
In Riot's cheer skirt.
196
But thank God, before they could fully murder me, the counselor's door flew open.
197
Girls, back away from her.
198
Now.
199
Shoo!
200
Before I start calling your parents.
201
They finally backed off, still glaring at me like I had personally ruined their bloodline.
202
Grace, honey, are you okay?
203
Come on in, let's talk.
204
I went inside her office, and honestly, it felt like the safest place in the entire school.
205
It was quiet, warm, and smelled like tea and peppermint.
206
Mrs. Mitch closed the door, sat beside me, and gently held my hand.
207
She must have noticed how nervous I was, since it was my first time coming to her office.
208
Nervous?
209
Yeah.
210
First time?
211
No, I've been nervous my whole life.
212
I realized I had completely misunderstood the question and immediately clapped my hand over my mouth.
213
She meant my first time talking to a counselor.
214
But Mrs. Mitch just smiled.
215
Grace, honey, I think you're carrying a lot.
216
One day you're into computers and programming.
217
The next day you're cheerleading.
218
One day you won't even look at anyone.
219
The next day you're flirting with half the basketball team.
220
She gave me a soft smile.
221
I'm not judging you.
222
I'm just confused.
223
And I have a feeling you are too.
224
So tell me, what's really going on?
225
And then, before I could stop myself, I told her everything.
226
About mom, about the triplets, about Queen and Riot.
227
About how the three of us had been pretending to be one girl our entire lives.
228
Mrs. Mitch looked shocked for a second, then quickly pulled herself together.
229
Sometimes I wish I could stand up to them, but I feel stupid.
230
and weak and powerless?
231
Yeah, and small and… Invisible?
232
Exactly.
233
And maybe a little insecure.
234
And anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, awkward?
235
Okay.
236
Maybe a little dumb?
237
Okay, wow.
238
I was going to stop at insecure, but now I feel diagnosed and attacked.
239
No, no. I mean you feel dumb.
240
Not that you are dumb.
241
Too late.
242
My brain already saved it.
243
I knew Mrs. Mitch was trying to help, even if her help came with emotional damage.
244
So I kept talking, and she just listened quietly, nodding without interrupting me once.
245
An hour later, I left her office feeling lighter.
246
Until it hit me.
247
What if she told someone?
248
What if mom went to jail?
249
What if they took my sisters away.
250
Oh, God, I was so dumb.
251
Sometimes Queen was right about me.
252
I had almost reached the school parking lot when I turned around and ran straight back to Mrs. Mitch's office.
253
I was in such a hurry that I didn't look around.
254
Then, a black car bumped into me and I dropped to the ground, dizzy and confused.
255
When I looked up, I saw the cutest guy I had ever seen staring down at me in total panic.
256
An angel?
257
Wow, you guys don't waste time, do you?
258
Not when it comes to cute girls.
259
You okay?
260
Oh, I wish my sisters were here to hear this.
261
What was that?
262
Never mind, you might have a concussion.
263
Right now I'm taking you to the nurse, and for the record, I saw what
264
Molly and her girls did.
265
I was about to step in, but Mrs. Mitch got there first.
266
And then somehow you managed to hit me with your car an hour later.
267
Clearly my hero timing needs work.
268
Now come on, nurse's office.
269
Elijah White was the new boy at school.
270
He had joined a week ago, and I'd already heard
271
Riot talking about him, but I'd never actually met him.
272
Principal Brackett saw the entire thing from his car, but instead of helping me,
273
he told me to go home because apparently getting hit by a car was my fault too.
274
I ignored him, took Elijah's hand and went to the nurse.
275
The nurse said I was fine, just bruised and dramatic, which honestly felt offensive but fair.
276
Elijah stayed with me for a few minutes and somehow, before I left, I had his number.
277
And I walked home smiling.
278
But that smile disappeared the second I stepped inside.
279
When I opened the door, Queen.. grabbed me by the collar and dragged me into the living room.
280
Where have you been?
281
I needed to go out an hour ago.
282
Too bad.
283
You missed your hour.
284
It's my turn now.
285
Oh, really?
286
They started arguing, so I cut in.
287
Riot, can you please tell me who or what on earth Peacock is?
288
Huh?
289
What are you even talking about?
290
Oh, the Peacock joke.
291
It's what we call the new hot guy, Elijah White.
292
There's a new hot guy at school, and no one told me.
293
Maybe if you bothered showing up.
294
You show up more than me, and you're still as dumb as a bag of rocks.
295
And just like that, they were fighting again.
296
But I drifted off, thinking about Elijah.
297
The way he looked at me, the way he helped me, the way he almost killed me with his car.
298
Ah, so romantic.
299
Then Queen suddenly looked at me.
300
Wait, why do you look like you got hit by a car?
301
No way I was telling her about Elijah.
302
So I told him about Molly and her minions jumping me instead.
303
Queen's face darkened.
304
No one beats up
305
Grace except Grace.
306
Then she turned to Riot, who was biting her nails.
307
And how many times have I told you not to do that in front of me?
308
Riot panicked and shoved even more fingers into her mouth.
309
So Queen lunged at her.
310
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
311
My hands betrayed me.
312
Then, Riot ran for her life.
313
The next day, Queen went to school.
314
When Molly saw her in the hallway, she smirked and stepped in front of her with her girls.
315
Well, well, well.
316
Look who we have here. Who?
317
Molly blinked.
318
Careful.
319
I dare you to answer before I pluck your goddamn feathers, you ugly little pea hen.
320
How dare you?
321
Pretty easily.
322
Girls, get her!
323
They lunged at Queen.
324
She shoved them back like they were shopping carts.
325
The girls stumbled into each other shocked.
326
Then Queen grabbed
327
Molly by both of her stupid little pigtails and yanked her close.
328
Don't you ever jump me again when I'm dressed like a nerd, or your next cheer routine is happening in physical therapy.
329
Molly's face went pale.
330
Then a teacher appeared at the end of the hallway and yelled for her to let go.
331
Queen dropped Molly's pigtails and smiled like an angel.
332
Of course, we were just talking, Miss Pooplin.
333
Later in math class, Queen was sleeping on her desk when someone poked her from behind.
334
Leave me alone or I'll pull your eyes out.
335
I don't care who you are.
336
Wow, yesterday you got hit by a car.
337
Today you're threatening people's eyeballs.
338
Busy week?
339
Queen realized it was Elijah and whipped around so fast he actually leaned back.
340
Hey, handsome.
341
Wanna go out with me?
342
I was just gonna ask for a pencil, but okay.
343
That night, Queen came home smiling.
344
And Queen never smiles.
345
So I knew something was wrong.
346
When she fell asleep, I stole the phone and checked her contacts.
347
And there it was.
348
Elijah's number.
349
That was it.
350
Queen had stolen my almost boyfriend before he was even my almost boyfriend. That backstabber.
351
But I was scared of Queen, so I didn't have the courage to confront her.
352
Things went on like that for a while.
353
I saw Elijah on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Queen saw him on Fridays.
354
He was nice, charming, and the kind of guy who read poetry, painted, and wrote song lyrics,
355
which was extremely unfair because I was already trying not to like him.
356
But of course, good things don't last forever.
357
Because one morning, Riot tried to leave for school wearing heavy, colorful makeup.
358
Before she could open the door, Queen threw her pocket knife at it.
359
The knife stopped right beside Riot's hand.
360
Why do you look like a clown?
361
I have a boyfriend to impress.
362
I looked so defeated that I covered my face with both hands.
363
Holy mother of God!
364
What is it, Tito?
365
Are you dating him too?
366
He's mine!
367
I met him first!
368
Oh, I was born first.
369
So technically, I should be the official child.
370
And you two should be suffering in the darkness.
371
But look how nice I am, letting you share my life.
372
So you two, stop dating Peacock.
373
Oh, thank God.
374
For a second, I thought you guys were talking about Elijah.
375
Queen and I gave her a strange look.
376
How can one person be this dumb?
377
You know what?
378
We should all stop dating him.
379
No guy is worth us fighting over him.
380
Do you two swear?
381
The three of us make.. piece signs with both hands, kiss the signs, and tap them against our foreheads.
382
That was our promise sign.
383
But of course, I didn't trust those traitors for a second.
384
And I was right not to.
385
Later that day, Queen was on TikTok when she saw
386
Molly's livestream of the cheerleading dance.
387
And right there, in the corner of the screen, Riot was flirting with Elijah.
388
She is so dead!
389
Later, the second
390
Riot stepped inside, Queen went straight for her.
391
Wait, before you hit me, you should know that he said he liked me.
392
Queen stopped inches away from her face.
393
Did he say, I like you, Riot?
394
Or did he say, I like you, Grace?
395
Because we're all Grace, genius.
396
So technically, he likes all of us?
397
Technically, I'm about to throw you through a wall.
398
After a lot of yelling, threatening, and Riot hiding behind
399
Mom, Things got even worse when Riot accidentally admitted she had told Elijah where we lived.
400
Mom grabbed her chest and whispered, You gave a teenage boy directions to our secret?
401
Which finally shut us up long enough to agree on one rule.
402
No more dating Elijah.
403
We blocked his number and deleted it.
404
Later that week, I decided to visit Mrs. Mitch.
405
I'd met with her a couple of times after that first day and since she had kept my secret, I started trusting her more.
406
I knocked on her office door, then opened it and found Mrs. Mitch looking guilty in front of her laptop.
407
I leaned in and saw she was watching an MSA video.
408
Before you judge me, there's no age limit.
409
These stories help me understand what you people go through.
410
Relax, I watch them too.
411
Good, if anyone asks, this was research.
412
Sure, very professional research.
413
So, if you guys are watching this, like, subscribe, and comment.
414
Team Tito, Team Queen, or Team Riot.
415
And if you pick
416
Riot, I'm worried about you.
417
During that session, I told Mrs. Mitch all about the Elijah drama.
418
Weirdly, it felt like talking to Mom when I was little, back when she opened up to me whenever my sisters weren't around.
419
Then, out of nowhere, Alexa started playing Macarena.
420
Oh my god, this is the song
421
Mom and I used to dance to when I was little!
422
I don't know what came over me, but I started dancing.
423
Very awkwardly, by the way.
424
I was moving my arms like a scarecrow.
425
I begged Mrs. Mitch to join me.
426
She refused at first, but I kept insisting until she finally stood up and danced with me.
427
And let me tell you, that woman danced like a chicken with its head cut off.
428
I got so excited that I accidentally kicked Mrs. Mitch in the face.
429
She dropped to the floor and winced in pain.
430
I apologized about a thousand times, then left her office two minutes later, in complete shame.
431
I walked into the hallway and saw Elijah talking to his friends.
432
Then one of them suddenly started coughing like crazy.
433
Without even panicking, Elijah stepped behind him, did the Heimlich maneuver, and saved him in three seconds.
434
His friends crowded around him, thanking him and patting his back.
435
And I'm sorry, but it was the hottest thing I had ever seen.
436
Then, Elijah noticed me and walked over.
437
Hey, you.
438
I've been trying to call you for the past few days.
439
Everything okay?
440
Yeah, mate.
441
I mean, buddy.
442
Actually, you're not my buddy.
443
I mean, you are, technically, because you're not my enemy, but...
444
Oh, God, I'm nervous.
445
I like how you go from scary to crazy to shy.
446
It's like I'm dating three different girls in one.
447
Yeah.
448
Three in one.
449
Elijah invited me for Slurpees, and we talked for a while.
450
I kept checking over my shoulder every three seconds, terrified that my sisters were watching.
451
Then, Elijah's phone rang.
452
Yes, doctor.
453
You're taking her to the hospital?
454
Okay, I'm coming now.
455
His face changed completely.
456
Later, I found out his mom had Crohn's disease and needed constant care.
457
They're taking her to urgent care.
458
I have to go.
459
Where's that?
460
At the hospital.
461
No, I know urgent care is at a hospital.
462
I meant, where is the hospital?
463
Like, do you want me to come with you?
464
Actually, wait, I just remembered mom needs my help with something.
465
I'm really sorry.
466
Elijah gave me a reassuring nod.
467
Then he asked for my new number, and I told him I'd get one soon.
468
I liked Elijah a lot.
469
Maybe if I got a new phone behind my family's back and talked to him in secret, no one would know.
470
So, I decided to convince my sisters to do one more of our totally harmless little scans,
471
so I could make enough money to buy an iPhone.
472
A few days later, my sisters and I had our next plan ready.
473
I knocked on Molly's door, and when she opened it, she immediately rolled her eyes.
474
What do you want, idiot?
475
I heard about your.. cheer regionals, and I made something that could help.
476
Unless it's a new personality for you, I'm not interested.
477
It's a serum.
478
You put one drop in your competitor's water or juice, and they get dizzy enough to lose.
479
No color, no smell, no taste.
480
Please, I wasn't born yesterday.
481
She started to shut the door, but I stopped her.
482
Wait, let me put one drop in your water bottle, Then you decide.
483
I grabbed the bottle from her hand and added our serum, which was literally just water.
484
Molly lifted the bottle and took a sip.
485
That's when Riot stepped out from behind the wall.
486
Molly looked down and saw two of us standing there.
487
Her face went pale.
488
Riot and I moved our lips in perfect sync.
489
What?
490
Is it working?
491
There are two of you.
492
Then let's try one more drop.
493
I added another drop while Molly kept drinking, and Queen stepped out from the other side.
494
Now how many of us do you see?
495
Oh my god, how much of this stuff do you have?
496
Atta girl.
497
And just like that, we sold
498
Molly a bunch of plain water for a fortune.
499
I finally had enough money to buy a new phone behind my sister's backs.
500
A week later, I saw Elijah in class and slipped him my new number.
501
Why did you get a new number?
502
We were literally texting this morning from your old one.
503
Oh my god.
504
Unbelievable.
505
Of course, it was Queen.
506
I got so angry that I decided to skip the rest of school and go home to confront her.
507
In my head, I was brave.
508
I was powerful.
509
I was finally going to stand up for myself.
510
Then I walked into the living room and saw
511
Queen lying on the couch, casually picking her teeth with the tip of her pocket knife.
512
And just like that, I lost all courage.
513
Queen asked why I was home so early, so I panicked and lied, saying I'd forgotten my math project.
514
Then I grabbed a random notebook from the table and ran back out before she could ask anything else.
515
Weird nerd.
516
Mom, are my seven boiled eggs ready?
517
And don't forget the salt.
518
If you mix it up with sugar again, I'm breaking every single egg in this house.
519
Of course, honey.
520
I'm reading the label very slowly.
521
When I got back to school and reached the classroom door, I peeked through the little window and saw
522
Riot sitting in our seat, giggling and passing notes to Elijah.
523
What was this airhead doing here?
524
She knew Wednesdays were my day.
525
I ran to the bathroom before anyone could see me and expose us.
526
I stayed there until break, and finally, Riot came in to pee.
527
I jumped out from behind her, and she screamed.
528
I slapped a hand over her mouth.
529
Shh!
530
Shut up, you stupid waste of space.
531
What the heck are you doing here?
532
Well, I saw you come home early, so I snuck out while you were talking to Queen.
533
What brought you back?
534
Are you seriously this dumb, or did you escape from a museum of rare brain defects?
535
Oh, so now we're using big words.
536
Fine.
537
Here's a big one.
538
You are Delulu.
539
That's literally short for delusional.
540
Jesus, I'm going to kill you.
541
Riot and I whisper -fought for at least five minutes until we heard someone calling our name from outside.
542
Grace!
543
Grace, answer me!
544
Get out here!
545
I know you scammed me, you broke little liar!
546
Riot and I looked at each other like we'd just seen a ghost.
547
Then Riot started panicking.
548
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, we're doomed!
549
I grabbed Riot by the shoulders and told her to shut the hell up
550
and hide behind the door while I dealt with Molly.
551
Then I stepped out.
552
The second Molly saw me, she clenched her fist and bit her bottom lip so hard I thought she was going to swallow it.
553
Are you pooping?
554
That was it.
555
Molly charged at me.
556
She tackled me to the floor and pulled her fist back.
557
But before she could punch me, someone grabbed her wrist.
558
Knock it off, Molly.
559
Principal's office now!
560
Mrs. Mitch showed up with a bandage on her forehead from my accidental Macarena attack.
561
Molly got off me, still breathing like an angry bull, and stormed away.
562
Thank you for saving me again, Mrs. Mitch.
563
She almost caught us.
564
Just then, Riot popped up from behind the door.
565
Caught us?
566
Who's us?
567
Did you tell Mrs. Mitch about us?
568
I sighed and explained everything as quickly as I could.
569
Mrs. Mitch stared at us for a second, then looked toward the hallway.
570
Okay, we need to move fast before
571
Principal Brackett finds out I yelled at Molly.
572
He told me she was off -limits because her father is one of the school's biggest donors.
573
Greedy jerk.
574
Most of that donation money never even reaches the school, and we still have ceiling leaks in three classrooms.
575
Anyway, we need to get
576
Riot out of here without anyone seeing her.
577
How?
578
Mrs. Mitch.. slowly turned toward the janitor's big rolling trash bin, and Riot's face dropped.
579
You have got to be kidding me.
580
A minute later, Riot was curled up inside the trash bin,
581
whispering threats at both of us while Mrs. Mitch pushed her down the hallway like this was a totally normal school day.
582
Later, I begged
583
Riot not to tell
584
Queen that I had told Mrs. Mitch about us.
585
She agreed, but only if I gave her $1 ,000.
586
That shameless goblin.
587
That night, Queen found out
588
Molly had attacked me again.
589
So she vandalized
590
Molly's house, got caught by Molly's dad, and got arrested.
591
Mom went to the police station to bail her out, but she didn't have enough money.
592
Queen had already spent hers, and Riot said it wasn't her business to pay for someone else's crimes.
593
So, guess who had to use almost all the money she had left?
594
Me.
595
And to make matters worse, the next week, Elijah told me his mom needed emergency surgery.
596
I've saved up enough money from my two jobs, but it's not enough.
597
How much do you need?
598
A hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
599
I almost choked on my own tongue.
600
But then I saw his face.
601
He looked exhausted and scared, like he was trying really hard not to fall apart.
602
So naturally, because I had one secret phone and zero common sense, I said the dumbest thing possible.
603
I'll help you.
604
Grace, what?
605
No, I was just venting.
606
I don't want your money.
607
Also, where would you even get that kind of money?
608
Don't worry about that.
609
I'll figure it out.
610
Grace.
611
I'm doing this because I think I really love you, Elijah.
612
He stared at me for a second, then gently held my face and gave me the softest smile.
613
I love you too.
614
And then he kissed me.
615
For one whole second, everything felt perfect.
616
Which should have been my first warning that I was about to ruin my life.
617
The next morning, I gathered my sisters in the basement and told them everything about Elijah.
618
His mom, the surgery, the money.
619
We had about $80 ,000 saved, but we still needed one more scam to get the rest.
620
$150 ,000?
621
Are you out of your mind?
622
Well, if you hadn't gotten yourself arrested, we'd have at least a third of it.
623
Queen slammed her palm on the table so hard, Riot jumped.
624
I grabbed Queen's arm and pulled her back before she could actually kill her.
625
Queen leaned closer, blew vape smoke right in Riot's face, and spoke very quietly.
626
If you hadn't shown up to school on Tito's day, none of this would have happened, genius.
627
Let's calm down and think of some scam that could help us get that much money.
628
What scam are you thinking, Tito?
629
Yes!
630
I jumped up and hugged her while Queen stayed stiff as a statue, shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
631
The plan was simple.
632
We knew about Principal Beckett's shady embezzlement from Mrs. Mitch.
633
She hated him, so I asked her for a favor, and she gave me the info I needed.
634
After the school day ended and everyone left, I went to Principal Brackett's office first and confronted him about the missing school donation money.
635
At first, he laughed in my face.
636
Then I mentioned the private account where the money had gone, and his smile disappeared.
637
He grabbed my arm and told me to shut my mouth.
638
So I did what any brave hero would do.
639
I shoved him just enough to make him shove me back.
640
I stumbled backwards, hit my head lightly on the corner of a chair, and dropped to the floor.
641
Then I closed my eyes and pretended to be dead.
642
Principal Bracket froze, then started shaking me like crazy.
643
Then white fog started sliding under the door.
644
His face went pale.
645
A second later, Queen stepped out from behind the curtain wearing all black,
646
with dark makeup under her eyes and a scarf over her head like the world's angriest ghost.
647
You killed me, Principal Franklin Bucket.
648
How do you know that name?
649
I changed it years ago.
650
Because I am Grace's dark angel.
651
And you, Franklin Bucket, have been very, very bad.
652
Principal Brackett looked like he was about to faint.
653
Then he dropped to his knees and started praying.
654
Holy Mary, Mother of God, please don't let this child drag me to hell.
655
I'm still too young to die.
656
Then Riot climbed out from behind the bookshelf, wearing a white sheet and a crooked paper halo, and poked Principal Brackett from behind.
657
He turned around and trembled on the floor.
658
Who the hell are you?
659
I'm Grace's good angel.
660
You're supposed to say guardian angel.
661
Same department.
662
Principal Brackett started shaking so hard, his lips trembled.
663
What do you want from me?
664
To save your soul, you must return every dollar you stole from the school donation fund.
665
Transfer it to this account.
666
Now.
667
This is insane!
668
So is hell.
669
He tried to run to the door, but we had already copied the key and locked it from the inside.
670
Then he ran to the window and yanked it open.
671
For one second, I thought he was actually going to jump.
672
But then he turned around, breathing hard, and glared at Queen.
673
Wait a minute.
674
No, this is a prank.
675
You think this will work on me?
676
He stepped toward her.
677
Queen didn't even flinch.
678
She shoved him hard in the chest.
679
He stumbled back against the wall, shocked.
680
Then she pulled a pocket knife from her sock and held it close to his cheek.
681
I almost sat up and ruined the whole plan because for one terrifying second, I thought Queen might actually do something stupid.
682
The money.
683
Now.
684
He grabbed his laptop with shaking hands and transferred the money.
685
The second it went through, Queen and Riot disappeared back into the fog, opened the door, and left.
686
A few seconds later, I opened one eye, sat up, and dusted off my shirt.
687
Wow, guess I'm not dead after all.
688
Principal Brackett stared at me, trembling.
689
See you later, Mr. Bucket.
690
But then I walked out before he could faint.
691
The next day, I took the money and gave it to Elijah.
692
He was shocked, speechless, and hugged me so tightly I could barely breathe.
693
Then I excused myself to the bathroom, and Queen showed up instead.
694
She hugged him too, then quickly excused herself to the bathroom.
695
Then Riot showed up, grabbed his face, and kissed him.
696
From around the corner, Queen hissed.
697
That little snake.
698
Elijah looked extremely confused, but happy, so he just smiled and kept thanking me.
699
Grace, I owe you my life.
700
Go save your mama.
701
Elijah's mom's surgery was supposed to happen in two days, but a whole week passed and he still hadn't come back to school.
702
I got so worried that I went to his place, but it was empty.
703
I asked the neighbors
704
and they told me the guy who lived there had only rented the place for a few months
705
and left a couple of days ago.
706
I couldn't believe it.
707
Elijah had lied.
708
He didn't live there and he probably didn't even have a sick mom.
709
He did all of that just to take money from us? From me?
710
My eyes started burning and I didn't know what to do.
711
So I ran straight to Mrs. Mitch.
712
She always knew what to do.
713
But when I got to her office, half of her stuff was packed in boxes.
714
Oh, honey, I resigned.
715
Principal Brackett forced me out because he wants to hire one of his relatives.
716
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
717
Could this get any worse?
718
I sat down and started crying.
719
Then I told her everything.
720
Oh, honey, him being called Peacock should have been your first sign.
721
Wait, I never told you his name was Peacock?
722
Well, sweetheart, I'm the school counselor.
723
I hear things.
724
She turned away and started packing faster.
725
Anyway, Elijah is far away now, getting his mom treatment for her Crohn's.
726
But I never told you his mom had Crohn's.
727
Mrs. Mitch stopped moving.
728
For one second, she looked nervous.
729
Honey, I really don't have time for this.
730
I need to leave, so please.
731
That's when she picked up her car keys and I saw the keychain.
732
It was this weird handmade farmer toy with a big hat.
733
The same keychain Elijah had.
734
Oh my freaking God.
735
Mrs. Mitch was in on it.
736
She had planned this with Elijah.
737
She had listened to me, comforted me, protected my secret, and then used all of it to rob us.
738
She noticed the look on my face, and her sweet smile disappeared.
739
Before you do anything stupid, remember this.
740
I recorded our sessions.
741
If you expose me, I expose your family.
742
Your mother goes to jail, and you and your sisters get separated.
743
So be smart, Tito.
744
I couldn't move.
745
Now get the hell out of my office.
746
I stood up without saying a word and walked out, feeling like my body was moving without me.
747
You did what?
748
That night, I told my sisters everything.
749
Queen grabbed me by the collar, but I didn't even react.
750
Maybe if you two actually listened to me, or cared about me, or respected me even a little.
751
I wouldn't have gone looking for love from a stranger.
752
Just then, Riot slapped me.
753
Are you listening to yourself?
754
You're the smart.. one, the strong one.
755
Since when do smart, strong people need love?
756
For my whole life, I thought I was the weak one, the boring one, the bullied one.
757
But maybe I wasn't.
758
Maybe I was the reasonable sister, the one who kept saving everyone.
759
And somehow, I had never realized my sister saw me that way.
760
Wait, you think I'm smart and strong?
761
Obviously. And pretty?
762
I didn't say pretty.
763
We have the exact same face.
764
Yeah, but Queen is the scary one, I'm the fun one, and you're the responsible one.
765
I'd use a different word than fun.
766
Are you two done with your TED talk, or should I bring snacks?
767
We need to fix this mess before it gets worse.
768
And no one, and I mean no one, steals from Queen.
769
I nodded slowly, like some ancient philosopher who had just discovered wisdom.
770
I have a plan.
771
The next day, I went to Principal Brackett's office.
772
He almost fainted when he saw me.
773
Then he grabbed a cross from his desk and held it up like I was a vampire.
774
What do you want from me?
775
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
776
Relax.
777
I just want Mrs. Mitch's phone number, where she is, and everything you can find on Elijah White.
778
Yes, of course.
779
I'll contact some people.
780
You'll have everything in an hour.
781
A few days later, Mrs. Mitch walked into an abandoned building and found Elijah waiting inside.
782
What are you doing here?
783
Why did you want to meet here?
784
I told you no contact for a few weeks.
785
What are you talking about?
786
You sent me a message to come here.
787
Just then, Queen stepped out from the shadows.
788
Actually, I sent both of you the message.
789
I think we should all talk.
790
They both looked shocked for a second, but Mrs. Mitch pulled herself together fast.
791
Oh, Tito sent you?
792
That weak, dumb little girl?
793
I told her I had the recordings.
794
Yeah, about that.
795
Remember the link you clicked yesterday?
796
Tito hacked your computer and deleted the recordings.
797
And as for the recorder in your car, Riot is outside taking care of it.
798
Mrs. Mitch's face, twisted.
799
Are you crazy?
800
I'll report you.
801
I'll ruin your lives.
802
Please, Queen.
803
She made me do it.
804
She knew I was new, broke, and desperate, and she used that to drag me into her plan.
805
I was just like you.
806
I thought she cared.
807
I liked you guys, and I really cared about Tito.
808
Shut up, you idiot.
809
I don't have time for this.
810
She tried to walk past
811
Queen, but Queen flicked her lighter and tossed it before her next step.
812
The second it hit the floor, fire shot up.
813
Mrs. Mitch screamed and stumbled back.
814
She tried to run the other way, but flames erupted there too.
815
Then another path lit up, cutting her off from the exit.
816
She stood there, trapped and panicking.
817
Are you crazy?
818
We're all going to die!
819
I don't care.
820
At least that would make
821
Mom's life easier.
822
Two daughters are easier to hide than three.
823
Elijah started panicking too and turned on her.
824
This is all your fault.
825
You dragged me into your mess and now we're all gonna die.
826
You knew I was broke.
827
You knew I grew up in foster homes and didn't have anyone.
828
So you acted like you cared, and I was stupid enough to believe you.
829
My sister is outside, Mrs. Mitch.
830
She can save you after you sign these papers.
831
I'll sign whatever you want.
832
Just get me out of here before this place goes up.
833
Queen made her transfer all the money back to Mom's account.
834
Then she shoved a stack of papers in front of her, and Mrs. Mitch signed them without reading.
835
The paper said she was giving us half her belongings, including the huge house she bought with stolen money.
836
We weren't going to take any of it, but if she ever threatened us again, we had our own threat ready.
837
When she finally looked up, disgusted, she glared at Queen.
838
Shame on you, Queen.
839
Tito would never do this.
840
She's too weak and scared.
841
You should be more like her.
842
But then I took off
843
Queen's sharp glasses and put on my round nerdy ones.
844
Mrs. Mitch froze.
845
It's me, Tito.
846
You know, the weak one, the scared one, the one you thought would never fight back.
847
And you still couldn't tell I wasn't queen.
848
You knew there were three of us, Mrs. Mitch.
849
But you built your whole scam around that secret, and you still got fooled by a pair of glasses and some attitude.
850
And you had the nerve to call me dumb, you stupid manipulative fraud.
851
Mrs. Mitch's face collapsed and she started crying.
852
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just get me the hell out of here!
853
I whistled and Queen dropped a rope from above.
854
Mrs. Mitch grabbed it immediately.
855
Then it was Elijah's turn.
856
I'm sorry, Tito.
857
I was weak and helpless, just like you.
858
And she used me.
859
I looked at him for a second.
860
Just go, Elijah.
861
And with that, he left.
862
Then I followed after him.
863
Later that week, someone knocked on the door.
864
Mom opened it, and seconds later, she stormed back in and shut the door.
865
There is a boy outside asking for Tito.
866
He literally said, Can I speak to Grace, Tito?
867
What is going on?
868
It's okay, Mom.
869
I'll handle this.
870
I opened the door, and Elijah was standing there.
871
The moment he saw me, he gave me this nervous little smile.
872
First of all, I can't tell you how sorry I am.
873
And I don't expect you to forgive me.
874
But I feel terrible.
875
And I miss you.
876
I miss the way your left eye twitches before you laugh.
877
The way you scratch your nose before you say something smart.
878
The way you comb your front strands with your fingers before you nod.
879
And the way you play with your ear before you get emotional.
880
Just like now.
881
I immediately moved my hand away from my ear.
882
Okay, that was very specific and beautiful.
883
Also, I brought this bag.
884
He lifted a small duffel bag and handed it to me.
885
This was my share.
886
Mrs. Mitch gave it to me after everything.
887
I didn't spend it.
888
I couldn't.
889
Not after what we did to you.
890
I looked inside and saw stacks of cash.
891
Your family needs it more than I do.
892
And there's something else inside.
893
Underneath the cash, there was something else.
894
A portrait made from hundreds of tiny painted pictures of me.
895
Together, they formed one big peacock.
896
I couldn't help but chuckle.
897
I was planning to give you this, but I never got the chance.
898
I'm not asking us to be together.
899
I'm just asking if we can be friends.
900
I didn't know if I trusted him completely yet.
901
But for once, I wanted to choose for myself.
902
I looked at him.
903
And he looked so cute and charming, just like the first day I met him.
904
Then I pulled him close and hugged him.
905
Are you kidding me?
906
She gets the hot guy and character development?
907
Elijah heard her and chuckled.
908
I laughed too, then hugged him again.
909
So yeah, I learned that being strong doesn't always mean being loud, scary, or fearless.
910
Sometimes it means finally standing up, even when your hands are shaking and for the first time in my life,
911
I didn't feel like the boring one anymore.

वीडियो के छोटे, पूरे वाक्य जिन्हें आप रोज़ की बातचीत में इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं:
- Wait, didn't I wax your eyebrows and lip last week?

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| शर्त वाले वाक्य if + उपवाक्य, will/would + क्रिया — शर्त और उसका नतीजा | if this ever happens again, I'll kick · if she missed one more practice, she'd get |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | was called · being confronted · being jumped |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | I've learned · I've been · have you been |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | guy who read · serum, which was · guy who lived |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 154 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे I'm, didn't, don't। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “th” की ध्वनियाँ: breathe /bɹiːð/, threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: shock /ʃɔk/, shake /ˈʃeɪk/, shove /ʃʌv/, donation /doʊˈneɪʃən/, sharp /ʃɑɹp/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: technically /ˈtɛk.nɪˌkəl.i/, accidentally /ˌæk.sɪˈdɛnt(ə)li/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: hallway /ˈhɔlˌweɪ/, shove /ʃʌv/, brave /bɹeɪv/, revenge /ɹəˈvɛnd͡ʒ/, quietly /ˈkwaɪ.ɪt.li/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: confused /kənˈfjuːzd/, expose /ɪkˈspoʊz/, freeze /ˈfɹiːz/, exhaust /ɪɡˈzɔst/, yourselves /jəˈsɛlvz/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: stare /stɛɚ/, steal /stiːl/, scream /skɹiːm/, scam /ˈskæm/, scary /ˈskɛə.ɹi/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर honey, panic, shock जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
