Growing up, my twin brother Mikhail and I were raised by our single dad.

And boy, were we living the high life.

We lived in a mansion straight out of a fairy tale with every luxury imaginable.

We always had the coolest toys, the best clothes, super fancy meals, and the most awesome birthday parties ever.

And you know what made it all possible?

My dad's super cool job at Lewis Industries.

He had a high position there and worked his butt off to give us the best life ever.

Everything was perfect, until one day in high school, Dad hit us with some shocking news.

We were completely broke.

Turns out Dad's boss, Mr.

Lewis, fired him unjustly and even seized whatever Dad owned.

Dad, we'll get through this, right?

I don't know, honey.

I don't know.

That man destroyed me.

He took every last cent I had.

Mr.

Lewis is a fraud, and he blamed me and fired me.

This is so unfair, and I'm so sorry I can't give you the life you deserve anymore.

Seeing Dad's tears made my heart shatter.

And then suddenly, I felt rage surge through my veins.

I wanted revenge.

I vowed to make Mr.

Lewis pay for causing us so much pain.

And also, take back what he stole from us.

That night, we moved into a small apartment.

And things were never the same again.

Hey, guys.

I'm Armani.

Before I continue with my crazy story, please like and subscribe to MSA.

The next day, news of Dad's misfortune spread far and wide.

and everyone now looked at us with pity.

Aren't you that millionaire's daughter?

Oh, poor you, going through so much.

Here, the bread and eggs are on us.

You don't need to pay, sweetheart.

I totally hated how everyone was pitying us and Mikhail felt the same way.

He was determined to start some business to help dad with the bills.

Then something mind-blowing happened.

He got offered a scholarship to the swankiest school ever where he'd applied before dad got fired.

But now, Mikhail was unsure about it.

You're not sure?

Mikhail, studying at this school could open up doors for you in the future.

For all of us.

Yeah, but Dad needs me right now.

We have our business planned out and I'm just taking a year off from studies.

Besides, I found out that Mr.

Lewis' son Peter is also in that school.

I don't want to be there.

Seriously?

The son of that cheater who drained us dry?

This could actually be the perfect opportunity to get revenge.

Come on, Armani.

Revenge is never the solution.

Karma will handle Mr.

Lewis.

We need to focus on getting our life back on track.

Was he serious?

There was no way I was gonna pass up this chance to make Mr.

Lewis pay.

I came up with an idea.

Join the school in McHale's place.

At first, he was totally against it, but I lied about how much I wanted to study in a great school, and this was the only opportunity I'd have since dad had no money.

Aren't you forgetting one tiny detail?

It's an all-boys school.

No sweat, McHale.

I'll just pretend to be a dude.

Teach me the way of the bros, please.

And then mission dudification began.

First up, Mikhail taught me bro vocabulary.

Every sentence should have dude or bro or man.

Then he taught me the bro walk, which was kind of funny to be honest.

Then came the fist bumps.

And at last, the dude dress code.

After a week of training and a wig, I transformed into Mikhail from Armani.

And I was so ready for this school and meeting this Peter.

On my first day of school, I thought it would be a piece of cake.

I mean, all I would have to do was walk and talk like a boy.

But soon, my throat was hurting from making my voice deep.

My waist was hurting from sucking in my breath and doing that stupid dude walk.

And then I had to pee.

I rushed to the restroom, but to my horror, it was a dirty urinal toilet staring back at me.

Yuck!

Boys are gross.

I was searching the school for a better bathroom when suddenly I heard some yelling.

I followed the voices to see what was happening, and I spotted a guy on the bleachers getting picked on by some meanies.

Hey, man, I don't want any trouble.

Look, I've got a Snickers bar.

How about we all share it and share our feelings?

We could start with you, Josh.

You can talk about your anger issues.

This is a safe space.

Are you for real, you dumb loser?

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

You want to test that theory?

You're a good-for-nothing idiot with a bad haircut, and the only girl who will ever love you is your granny.

Oh, God, ouch.

That hurts so bad.

You might as well just have punched me in the stomach.

100

I can do that.

101

Stop that, dude.

102

Leave him alone, man.

103

Or else what, newbie?

104

I'm gonna show the principal this video of you bullying a student.

105

Yep, I got it all here, bro.

106

Josh glared at me, then pushed Peter away and gestured to the other guys, and they all left.

107

Uh, thank you for standing up to Josh, but I had it under control.

108

Yeah, I could see that.

109

Man, I'm Peter.

110

Peter Lewis?

111

What's your name?

112

Wait, as in Mr.

113

Lewis's son Peter Lewis?

114

Our Mikhail, bro.

115

Our McHale bro.

116

What an interesting name.

117

No, just McHale.

118

I gotta go pee.

119

I have to find a clean bathroom.

120

Say no more and follow me.

121

Peter led me to the teacher's bathroom, which was as clean as a whistle.

122

Throughout the day, Peter and I ended up hanging out together.

123

And as we got talking during recess, I realized Peter was a sweet and simple guy.

124

The day seemed to be going well, until we had swimming class.

125

All right, boys, time to change to your swim trunks so we can dive right in.

126

What the fudge?

127

I had to come up with a good excuse to skip the lesson, and my mind was racing as the teacher caught sight of me.

128

Hey, you.

129

Yes, you.

130

Come on, get changed.

131

Uh, I'm allergic to water.

132

Um, I was diagnosed with aquagenic urticaria.

133

Yeah, it's been pretty hard for me.

134

Fortunately, everyone bought the lie.

135

Well, everyone except Josh, who sneaked up behind me after swim class.

136

Aquagenic urticaria?

137

Really?

138

I'll do my research, and we'll know if you're really allergic to water, or you're just a weirdo who likes to be the center of attention everywhere.

139

You've got the rest of your life to be as dull as you wish.

140

Why not take today off and do something better with your life?

141

Everyone roared with laughter as Josh fumed and stormed off angrily.

142

Hey, would you like to hang out over the weekend at my place?

143

My dad's away on a business trip and I have no close friends.

144

Well, now you have me, bro.

145

Peter shared his number and address with me.

146

This was perfect.

147

I knew from dad that Mr.

148

Lewis had a home office and if I could sneak in, maybe I could find some evidence and prove Mr.

149

Lewis was the fraud Dad said he was.

150

The next morning, I showed up at Peter's mansion and was blown away.

151

It was ginormous.

152

It even had two Olympic-sized pools and seven freaking jacuzzis.

153

Peter gave me a tour of his massive house, showed me every single room except two.

154

Why aren't we going into those two rooms?

155

One's Dad's office and the other, it's just private.

156

Come on, let me show you the kitchen.

157

Of course, his uneasiness only made me more intrigued.

158

Later as we were having snacks, I excused myself to the bathroom and snuck into one of the two rooms, hoping it was the office.

159

But just as I entered and turned on the lights, someone grabbed my shoulder.

160

Mikhail, the bathroom's the other way?

161

Why are you here?

162

Uh, I just got lost.

163

I was terrible at lying, but Peter believed me instantly.

164

Oh, no problem.

165

Well, since you're here already, I want to show you something that I've never shown anyone.

166

Also, because I've never had a friend over before.

167

He then pulled out a mysterious box from under the dusty bed.

168

Things haven't been the same since Mom left us.

169

She was my favorite person and my best friend.

170

Dad thought putting all her stuff in this room would make us forget, but it's the opposite.

171

It's been really tough, Mikhail.

172

Seeing Peter vulnerable made my heart go out to him.

173

Now you have me.

174

I'll always be here for you.

175

Thanks, bro.

176

When I got home, I kept thinking about my revenge plan.

177

No matter what, I didn't want to hurt Peter.

178

He was really growing on me, but I had to stand up for my dad too.

179

It wasn't Peter's fault his dad was a jerk, and I hoped once he learned about his Dad's dirty deeds, he'd hate him too.

180

In the following days, Peter and I really bonded, and I couldn't help but notice how naive he was.

181

OMG, OMG, Bella Porch messaged me.

182

Dude, she's asking me to send her $5,000 because she's stranded on some island.

183

We have to help her.

184

She's my favorite TikTok star.

185

What?

186

I mean, bro, seriously?

187

Look closely.

188

It's a fake account, man.

189

Oh, you're right.

190

I'm such a dummy.

191

For a second, I was on cloud nine that Bella messaged me.

192

You know, I adore her.

193

She's so cute and...

194

As Peter went on and on about Bella Porch, I found myself feeling weirdly jealous.

195

It was then I realized I kinda had a crush on Peter.

196

One time, as Peter was on the ground playing football, I couldn't help thinking that he looked kinda, well, hot.

197

Suddenly, an annoying voice interrupted me.

198

Why are you looking at him like you're in love with him?

199

Haven't you learned to mind your own business?

200

Oh, McHale, I did some digging.

201

And boy, was I shocked.

202

It all adds up now.

203

And then he showed me some pictures of me.

204

That's my sister Armani, you dumbhead.

205

We're twins.

206

See this picture?

207

Now get a life, bro, and delete my sister's pictures from your phone before I break your face.

208

Phew, that was close.

209

But then during recess, Josh joined us and placed a whole box of Snickers in front of Peter.

210

Hey, bro, I wanted to talk to you.

211

I've been in therapy, and I've realized you were right.

212

I needed to deal with my anger issues, and I really need to apologize for the way I've behaved with you.

213

I'm trying to change, and I'm really sorry.

214

Yeah, right, but Peter totally fell for it.

215

Aw, thanks, Josh.

216

That means a lot, and I only wish you well.

217

Forgiven and forgotten.

218

Oh, by the way, I'm throwing a party this weekend to showcase some of my new artwork.

219

You guys should come.

220

A party was the perfect opportunity to break into Mr.

221

Lewis's office because Peter would be busy.

222

I just had to keep an eye out for this Josh.

223

And once I had the evidence, I'd come out with the whole truth to Peter.

224

So when nobody was watching at the party, I sneaked into the office, desperate to find something incriminating.

225

But moments later, the door swung open and Peter entered.

226

Got lost again?

227

Yeah.

228

Your place is like a maze, man.

229

I know, right?

230

Come on, let me show you out.

231

Just as I was walking out with Peter, someone from behind grabbed my wig and pulled it hard.

232

I turned around to see it was Josh, and my long hair had come undone.

233

See, I told you so.

234

Now do I get the thousand dollars?

235

What?

236

Yeah, I told him you're a girl, and I did some more digging on you.

237

You and your brother are the kids of that millionaire who's poor now, the one who used to work for Peter's dad.

238

I didn't believe Josh, but it looks like I'm always an idiot.

239

Serves me right for trusting anyone, and I don't know why you deceived me, and I don't even want to find out.

240

Maybe you also came to do what your dad did.

241

Peter, you don't know everything.

242

Let me explain.

243

All I know is that you pretended to be my friend, and you lied to me.

244

Please just leave.

245

Peter.

246

Guards, escort him, her out of here.

247

With my head hung low, I made my way back home.

248

And the next morning, I was horrified to find my face all over social media.

249

Apparently, Josh had uploaded a clip from the party, and everyone had something negative to say about me.

250

When Mikhail learned what I'd done, he was also unhappy.

251

He had told me not to seek revenge, but I'd ignored his advice.

252

Naturally, through all of this, I, or I guess Mikhail, was also kicked out of school.

253

I just shut myself up in my room, and Dad came to talk to me one night.

254

I just broke down and ended up telling him about my crazy plan and how far I'd gone.

255

Oh, honey, I feel so terrible about this, and I should have told you sooner.

256

The thing is, I made an awful mistake at Mr.

257

Lewis's company.

258

I allowed my greed to get the better of me, so I stole some money.

259

I know it was wrong, and I'm really ashamed of myself.

260

I got caught, and naturally Mr.

261

Lewis fired me.

262

I lied about him.

263

He isn't a fraud.

264

He's actually a kind man who could have sent me to jail, but he spared me, and he didn't take my money from me.

265

I just never saved anything.

266

I didn't have the courage to tell you kids the truth and I'm so sorry.

267

Seriously, dad?

268

Like, how could you?

269

OMG, you're the one who's a fraud.

270

I can't, I can't do this right now.

271

Mikhail was equally stunned to learn the truth about dad.

272

We both stopped talking to him for weeks, but one day, as Mikhail and I were watching MSA, dad came to us in tears.

273

I know I'm asking a lot here, But I can't bear the silent treatment.

274

You're both my world, and I'll do whatever it takes to make it up to you.

275

I'm really sorry for what I brought on this family.

276

Dad, you realized your mistake.

277

That's what matters the most.

278

We'll get through this together, all three of us.

279

After finally knowing the truth, I felt even worse for deceiving Peter.

280

I tried calling him to apologize, but he never picked up.

281

So I wrote everything out in a letter to mail it to him.

282

Hey, Peter, I'm writing this letter to say sorry for all the messed up things I did.

283

I can't begin to explain how much it sucks to realize that I hurt you.

284

I thought my family was miserable because of your dad, and I was blinded by my anger and need for revenge.

285

But I was wrong about everything, and I ended up losing a friend.

286

Take care of yourself, Peter.

287

You deserve happiness and good things in life.

288

I'll always carry the regret of what I've done, and I hope that someday, somehow, you'll forgive me.

289

I'm really sorry, Armani.

290

A few weeks later, Mikhail dropped the best news ever.

291

He and dad were finally ready to start the business in a new town.

292

I was excited about the fresh start, but I couldn't ignore the sadness I felt at the idea of being so far from Peter.

293

A night before our flight, I was up in my room when I heard voices downstairs, and I rushed down to see Peter in our living room.

294

Wow, you both are really twins.

295

Anyway, Armani, I'm still mad at you, but that letter you sent really made me think.

296

Admitting your mistakes takes a lot of courage, and you showed that you have it, and I want to move past this.

297

I know you're leaving tomorrow, but that doesn't mean we can't still be friends.

298

I don't deserve a friend like you, Peter, and I'm sorry for hurting you.

299

Can you really forgive me?

300

Maybe, if you take me out for some ice cream.

301

I'd love that.

302

Let's go.
