I was almost done with my shift at the cafe when a customer started screaming at mom for getting the order wrong.

You won't die if you have to have hot chocolate instead of coffee one day.

I'm allergic to chocolate, you stupid woman!

What kind of idiot is allergic to chocolate?

Maybe you should die and then come back to life so you can taste chocolate.

Naturally.

The manager fired mom on the spot.

Hi, I'm Jane, and I know what you're thinking.

Wow, she's really pretty.

Trust me, I get that all the time.

best thing you can hear.

This face almost destroyed my life.

My dad was rich, and he gave me and my mom the best life ever.

When I was 10, I got into soccer, and by 14, I was winning every competition in town.

It was my dream to play soccer professionally, and I was well on my way.

But then I turned 18, and everything changed.

Dad made some bad investments, lost all his money, and booked a one -way flight to India.

I think it's time I look spiritual awakening.

A right direction.

Some eat, pray, love.

Oh, I'll show you the right direction, estupido.

We never heard from dad again.

Mom sold the house and we moved to a smaller place.

Soon, she had to pick up a job.

But she was awful at everything.

She tried teaching some kids Spanish, but told them they were morons in the second day.

Tried babysitting and slept on the job.

Tried waitressing, which clearly didn't work out either.

Then mom joined as a sales girl at a makeup she slipped on a lipstick and broke her hip.

Mom was put on bed rest for months, so I pulled out of soccer classes in school and picked up double shifts at the cafe.

I was working late one night when this boy walked in.

Sorry, sir, we're closed.

No reply.

Are you lost?

Nothing.

Okay, listen, you creep.

If you're here to kidnap me, let me tell you that I'm really broke.

I am one step away from being homeless and two steps away from being a street rat.

Really pretty.

I'm Tyler.

What's your name?

It's Angel, right?

No, wait.

Goddess?

Miracle?

Will you go out on a date with me?

What?

No!

Tyler kept asking me out, but I threw coffee in his face and kicked him out.

But then, he started stopping by the cafe every day.

He'd stay there for hours trying to get my attention.

He'd keep ordering the most expensive coffee and then leave a fat tip.

He was really getting on my nerves.

What's your deal?

Are you trying to win me over with money?

Just take a chance on me and go out on one date.

If you still don't like me, I won't trouble you again.

Before I could respond, Mom popped out of nowhere.

Oh, mija.

He's so cute.

Say yes.

Mom, why are you here?

You're my daughter.

You came out of my womb.

I feel a pull towards you like a piece of metal to a magnet.

Can't I come and see you when my heart says so?

What are you really doing here?

Okay, okay.

You weren't picking up your phone.

I just wanted you to get me my favorite sandwich. Or I will.

I'm kidding.

Do you have a single dad?

Older brother?

Even a butler would do.

Okay, that's enough.

And Tyler, fine.

Let's meet for dinner tomorrow.

One date.

Tyler and I ended up having a great time.

He was cute, fun, and really rich.

He loved pampering me with all things good.

And honestly, it felt nice to be taken care of.

Before I knew it, we started dating.

And then he surprised me with the best news ever.

I spoke to my dad, If things go right, we might go to the same school.

But I can't afford the fees.

Just impress the soccer coach and they'll let you in on a sports scholarship.

I hugged Tyler and we shared our first kiss that night.

A week later, I was called in for the soccer trial and I nailed it!

One week before joining the school, Tyler invited me and mom to his place for Thanksgiving dinner, which was a mansion, and his parents looked like royalty.

down the stairs and knocked right into me.

I fell back on a tall shelf and a bunch of stuff fell down.

Tyler's mom looked horrified.

Oh my god, my ultimate collection of unicorn figurines!

What have you done?

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to.

I started picking up the pieces when the same weird girl pushed me away.

100

You don't have to do that.

101

High time these ugly things broke.

102

What's wrong with you, Kiki?

103

You could have seriously hurt Jane.

104

She's not made of glass, and I was trying to see if the broom thing works for everyone, or if it's just for Harry Potter.

105

Wait, wait.

106

I have an idea.

107

Maybe your mom can give it a shot, Tyler, since she's an actual witch.

108

Kiki, that's enough.

109

her.

110

Tyler's parents were extremely sweet, and they really seemed to love him.

111

Tyler's a star, and I'm so lucky to have him.

112

He's really smart and helps me handle the business so well.

113

Look at that handsome face. So handsome.

114

He's a dork.

115

What did you just say?

116

I need a fork to eat noodles.

117

But we got this turkey made especially for you, Kiki.

118

I know how you like it.

119

Shush!

120

Okay, I'll eat it.

121

Your fake sweet voice gives me nightmares, I mean migraines.

122

You know what?

123

Let's play a game.

124

Let's all tell one thing we're grateful for.

125

I'll start.

126

Hmm.

127

I'm grateful for nothing thanks to you, stepmama.

128

You broke my family, turned my dad's brain into mush, and your son looks like a toad and he gets all the attention.

129

Oh wait, I have the perfect Thanksgiving song for y 'all.

130

With that, Kiki jumped on the table and started singing in the worst voice ever.

131

It's a day to be happy, but I'm always so snappy.

132

Because my stepmom's a witch and her son's kinda crappy and my dad is dumber than a baby and a nappy.

133

Kiki's dad got up furiously and pulled Kiki out of the room.

134

And that was our cue to leave.

135

That was one horribly awkward dinner.

136

The next day at school, Tyler apologized for Kiki's behavior.

137

Her mom ran away with the milkman when Kiki was only five.

138

She came back, but then she ran away with the postman a few years later.

139

still thinks her mom will come back.

140

So when her dad decided to marry my mom, she hated the idea.

141

She just can't accept us as a family and keeps acting like a spoiled brat.

142

Just be careful.

143

She might take her anger out on you too.

144

And sure enough, Kiki made my life at school miserable.

145

I found my soccer jersey soaked in grease.

146

And another time, she spray -painted all over my books.

147

The last straw was when one day during practice, I was doing some stretches and I heard Kiki Hey guys,

148

Tyler's new girlfriend wears Barbie underpants.

149

Look, look!

150

For more content, like and subscribe to my channel.

151

Everybody hates Tyler.

152

Get that thing away from me!

153

I tried to stop her from filming, but she wouldn't, and then I pushed her.

154

She fell, her camera broke, and both of us fought like wildcats before the coach separated us.

155

Tyler's right about you.

156

You're a crazy spoiled brat. And you?

157

You're just a pretty stupid girl.

158

And I mean pretty stupid.

159

Like a whole lot of stupid.

160

Not like pretty and stupid.

161

Wait, that's not good enough trash talk.

162

Can we try this again?

163

I can do better.

164

But I just ignored Kiki and walked away.

165

While school was a mess.

166

At home, mom kept pestering me about my relationship with Tyler.

167

Oh my God, Mom, we're not getting married, and money isn't everything!

168

That's a lie poor people made up.

169

Yeah, that was another problem.

170

Mom was just so excited about me and Tyler, but lately, I was beginning to have second thoughts.

171

The more I hung out with him, the more I realized that we were poles apart.

172

He would take me to these fancy parties and dinners

173

when all I really wanted was some quiet time together watching TV and eating pizza.

174

Then, one evening, Tyler invited me to an art exhibition with his parents and Kiki.

175

As always, Tyler's dad kept praising him in front of the guests, and Kiki looked upset.

176

So I excused myself and was admiring an art piece when a boy came and stood next to me.

177

Admiring my work, I see.

178

Oh, it's by you?

179

It's amazing.

180

You're so talented.

181

Oui, oui.

182

Merci beaucoup.

183

Pretty belle.

184

The artist leaned in to kiss me, but I stepped back.

185

He then pulled me by the arm, but I turned around and punched him in his face.

186

He screamed, and soon a crowd gathered around us.

187

And Tyler angrily pulled me outside.

188

What were you thinking, Jane?

189

He was forcefully trying to kiss me.

190

What else was I supposed to do?

191

That's how French people say thank you.

192

This is so embarrassing to my parents.

193

Apologize to them now.

194

Are you for real?

195

You should be making that artist apologize to me.

196

Why should I say sorry to your parents?

197

Because they've done so much for you.

198

You know, my dad had to bribe the principal to get you into the school.

199

What?

200

I never asked you to do that.

201

Exactly.

202

A lot of girls would kill to be in your place.

203

Oh, really?

204

Then choose one of those girls and date them.

205

With that, I turned around and left.

206

I tried finding a cab, but there was none around and I started walking.

207

Just a few blocks down, homeless guys were following me.

208

I panicked and ran, and just as I turned a corner, I crashed into someone.

209

Kiki?

210

Ow!

211

You blind bat!

212

Wait, who are these monkeys?

213

Your worst nightmare.

214

Now give me all the cash you have.

215

Ha!

216

Not so fast!

217

Kiki lunged at one guy and bit him.

218

He howled in pain, and the other one was about to jump at Kiki.

219

But she turned around and kicked him in the stomach and brought him to his knees.

220

Then she took a tweezer out from her pocket and pulled hair out of his nostrils.

221

The guy started sneezing like crazy, and Kiki and I ran for our lives.

222

ourselves on some seats.

223

Thanks for saving my butt.

224

Sure.

225

But first, I need food.

226

Waiter?

227

Yes, hi.

228

Get me two full hamburgers, two sides of fries, two strawberry milkshakes, and three scoops of ice cream each.

229

Oh no wait, I'm on a diet.

230

Only two scoops then.

231

And make it fast.

232

Why did you help me?

233

It's been a while since I last bit someone.

234

The last person I bit was Tyler because he called me a dumb witch, which I'm not.

235

I mean, if I was a witch, I would have been able to fly in a broom.

236

Why do you hate Tyler so much?

237

He acts really nice in front of my dad, but behind his back, he's a big fat jerk.

238

He and his mom are evil.

239

I just know it.

240

My nostrils flare up every time they're around.

241

You know like Spider -Man has those spider tingles?

242

Has anyone ever told you you talk a lot?

243

Yeah, all the time.

244

Why?

245

They say that to you too?

246

That's such a coincidence.

247

And Kiki went on and on till the food came and she finally shut up.

248

That night, I realized that Kiki wasn't that bad.

249

She was just an ignored kid looking for love.

250

And it kind of reminded me jerk today.

251

Kiki dropped me off at home in her car, and when she left, I noticed something stuck to my coat.

252

It was a weird necklace that I'd seen Kiki wearing at the museum.

253

It must have gotten stuck on me during that fight with those homeless guys.

254

So the next day, I went to her place to return it.

255

When I saw her arguing with Tyler's mom, I hid behind one of the cars to avoid getting spotted.

256

You spoiled brat!

257

You destroyed my entire product collection!

258

Do you have any idea what peasants.

259

The only peasant here is you.

260

It's only a matter of time before your dad hands over the business to me.

261

And once I have control, you'll have to beg me for money.

262

You and your evil mother will eat rat poop before that happens.

263

That's it.

264

I'm talking to your father and we're shipping you off to that boarding school.

265

Don't think I can't make it happen.

266

I've got him wrapped around my little finger.

267

In your dreams!

268

And with that, Kiki threw chili powder in Tyler's mom's face and ran away, leaving her screaming while Tyler quickly let her inside.

269

I tried to sneak away unnoticed, but Kiki spotted me.

270

What are you doing here?

271

I came to give you back this necklace.

272

What's all this mess, Kiki?

273

Tyler and his mom are horrible.

274

But Kiki was only half listening because her eyes were stuck on the necklace.

275

This was in your hand the entire time?

276

Uh, yeah.

277

Why?

278

What's so great about this rusty thing?

279

It's a hidden camera.

280

I bought this yesterday to collect evidence against my stepmom, and I thought I'd lost it.

281

But you just recorded her spitting fire on me, and now I have proof that she's a vile witch.

282

I can finally show this to my dad.

283

Oh, thank you so much.

284

And hey, I'm sorry for calling you a pretty stupid girl.

285

You're very smart and pretty.

286

That day at school, she walked up to me with a huge smile and told me that her dad finally believed her, and Tyler and his mom were out of her life.

287

I was really happy for her.

288

That same day, the coach told us about the upcoming inter -school soccer championship, which would be attended by international scouts looking for new players.

289

Getting selected would mean a five -year contract and a college of our choice.

290

I plunged myself into practice, but Tyler kept bugging me with texts and phone calls, so I decided to break up with him clearly.

291

It's over.

292

Never getting back together.

293

Go ask your mama to find you a better girl.

294

When mom heard about the breakup, she started crying like a banshee.

295

We're going to die living like poor rats.

296

No, we won't.

297

All I need is one shot at my dream and everything will be just fine.

298

Oh my god, you're in shock.

299

You're talking like a mad person now.

300

The team kept falling around me, acting like I'd shoved her and hurt her badly, which kept landing me into penalties.

301

The referee gave me a red card, and I got benched for the rest of the season.

302

We won the match, but I was devastated for losing out on my golden chance to be selected.

303

As Kiki and I were leaving, we suddenly saw a huge crowd in the parking lot gathered around someone who was screaming.

304

It was the same girl who got me the red card in the match, losing her mind on Tyler while his mom was trying to save him.

305

Ow!

306

I said, I'll get you your money!

307

Ow!

308

Let my boy go, you crazy witch!

309

And then Kiki jumped into the mix to slap and kick all three of them.

310

Shut it everyone!

311

What is happening?

312

This guy and his mommy told me they'd pay me to get you penalties.

313

They also bribed the referee to give you the red card.

314

And now they're trying to get away without paying me anything except these stupid unicorn figurines.

315

Those are actually pretty expensive, and these don't even belong to her.

316

Gimme that!

317

I angrily turned to Tyler.

318

Why would you set me up and make me lose such a big opportunity?

319

Because I lost everything, and it's all your fault.

320

I had money, a good house, and a great dad.

321

But after Kiki showed your dad that video of mom yelling at her, he kicked us out.

322

It's all because of you.

323

Nope.

324

You were greedy and selfish, and you never cared for Kiki's dad.

325

Maybe it's just your karma getting back at you.

326

Bullseye!

327

Now go.

328

Go and live your worst lives.

329

There were enough witnesses to the whole conversation.

330

The referee who gave me the red card was fired on the spot.

331

The coach convinced the scouts to give me another chance to show my skills in the next match, and I played my best game.

332

Our team won the tournament, and Kiki and I both got selected for a top international soccer team.

333

It's been two years since, and we never heard from Tyler or his mom again.

334

I'm living my best life playing

335

like mom will you get married to a rich man now mom I am the rich man
