Sheers Hi my name is Lola and I'm from Atlanta.

Please like and subscribe.

When I was a kid, my parents and I had adventures all the time.

We played hide and seek, we fought monsters in our backyard, and I even saved mom from a mean old pirate who tried to steal the last piece of pie.

My life was fantastic, but when I turned 3, mom gave birth to an evil witch named Genevieve.

From the moment Jen was born, she used her beady blue eyes to cast a spell on my parents and turn them into her evil minions.

Genevieve, we love you more than anything in the world.

Here you go, honey.

Hey, I was playing with that.

Jen started walking at nine months old.

At two, she could write her own name.

And at three, she could do the alphabet without making any mistakes.

When Jen was seven, she won her first national spelling bee.

She got a huge cash prize, and the reporter came over to interview her for the cover story of a magazine.

I'd like to thank my parents.

I couldn't have done this without them.

We're so lucky to have a genius daughter.

She's our pride and joy.

My parents kept gushing about Jen for hours as I sat in the corner.

When the reporter finally said it was time for pictures, I joined my family for a photo.

But Jen insisted that I stay out of it.

My parents tried reasoning with her, but she was beyond reason.

It's my moment, and she'll ruin my image with her stupidity vibe.

Like, my brain sees pictures with this special lens, and I'll be able to feel her dumbness every time I look at the pictures.

I can't explain how my brain works.

Just make her go.

So mom gave me some money for ice cream and told me to wait outside while the photo shoot happened.

A couple of months later, I came home from school and found Jen sitting on my bed, And all my stuff was gone.

Mom and dad said I could switch.

This room's bigger and has more space for my trophies.

But this is my room.

Mom, dad, make Jen give me my room back.

Lola, stop being ridiculous.

You don't need a room this size.

You don't have any trophies.

Jeannie, do you need anything?

Should I put up some more shelves?

A new bookcase?

I was so mad, I threw myself on the ground and started screaming.

This sucks.

I'm leaving and I'm never coming back.

I'll show you.

I'll get a new family that will appreciate me.

I stormed out of the house.

I got to the driveway and realized I had nowhere to go.

So I decided to hide out in my treehouse.

But then something crazy happened.

My stomach started rumbling, and I searched through my pockets to find a candy bar.

Then out of nowhere, this girl appeared and snatched it out of my hand.

Hey, that's mine.

This is my treehouse.

Get out.

I don't see your name on it.

It's written right there.

Oh.

Then the strange girl wrote the word Madison on the wall.

I guess we're roommates now.

We'll just have to share.

Then she tossed me half the candy bar.

Madison and I spent the rest of the day together, and she was pretty wild.

She told me about all the adventures she'd had in the neighborhood.

I found a skeleton in the neighbor's backyard.

No way!

The old lady across the street is an alien.

I saw a spaceship in her garage.

Madison made up fun games for us to play.

We had a spitball fight and threw water balloons at the neighbors as they walked by.

Then my mean old parents told me to come inside for dinner.

They didn't even miss me or remember that I'd been upset.

After that, when I wasn't at school or watching Janet spelling bees, I'd run out to the treehouse and spend time with Madison.

One time, we were pretending to have a sword fight in the backyard.

It's over for you, Madison.

Give up now.

You'll never take me alive.

Suddenly, Jen appeared out of nowhere.

Lola, who are you talking to?

Madison, duh.

Who's that?

I turned around to introduce Madison, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air.

She was just here.

Must have scared her off with your mean vibes.

I thought Jen would say something, but she just gave me a weird look.

Um, I think you're old enough to not have an imaginary friend.

And went back inside.

And Madison instantly reappeared beside me.

Where did you go?

I didn't want to meet your stupid sister.

And there, I got you.

You're dead.

When I was 12, I started junior high school, and it was the worst.

All the girls were more interested in boys and makeup than building pillow forts or searching for hidden treasures.

I had nothing in common with any of them, and most of them thought I was weird.

I was pretty lonely.

Then Madison started sneaking into my school.

She'd make funny faces and tell the best jokes.

Madison, you're hilarious!

Stop!

Please, I'm gonna pee my pants!

Uh, who's Madison?

100

Is she talking to the wall?

101

Madison told me cool stories and she was such a gossip.

102

She knew everything about everyone.

103

And she always had my back whenever a bully tried to mess with me.

104

Having her around made me stronger and braver.

105

Hey, ugly, get out of my way.

106

Who are you calling ugly?

107

You look like a rat and your breath smells like poo.

108

Once I was cast in a school play and I had to do this huge monologue.

109

My parents didn't even bother to come because Jen had a spelling competition the same day.

110

I was so nervous I could barely speak.

111

But then Madison showed up to cheer me on.

112

I shook off my nerves and gave the best performance ever.

113

I told my parents all about it, but they didn't care.

114

The next day, they dragged me to another one of Jen's boring competitions.

115

Madison brought a bag of ants, and we let them loose on stage.

116

Jen and all the other kids freaked out and ran around screaming.

117

It was hilarious.

118

Then one day, things took a turn.

119

For my 15th birthday, me and my family went on vacation.

120

But when we got back home, I realized that Madison was gone.

121

I searched for her everywhere.

122

The treehouse, at school, and all over the house.

123

She didn't show up.

124

Madison, where are you?

125

What the heck are you screaming about?

126

I can't even hear myself think.

127

I can't find Madison.

128

What are you, four?

129

Look, I'm really busy, but do you want to talk?

130

I know you're lonely and have trouble making friends, but this isn't healthy.

131

I'm totally fine.

132

Just leave me alone and go back to your books.

133

If it wasn't bad enough that Madison had just left me, Jen soon got moved up to my class because she was so smart, and all the other kids instantly loved her.

134

Is it true?

135

You can spell every word in the dictionary?

136

Yeah, almost.

137

I am an international spelling champion.

138

Ugh, please.

139

What was so impressive about spelling, anyway?

140

When was being able to spell the word crustaceology useful?

141

Then one morning, the most popular girl in our class, Emily, handed out invitations to her birthday party.

142

Hey, you forgot to give me my invitation.

143

Sorry, no freaks allowed.

144

Then she whispered to Jen just loud enough for me to hear.

145

I can't believe you're related to her.

146

I hope you can come.

147

It's going to be the best party ever.

148

I don't think I have any contests that weekend, so I should be able to make it.

149

I watched as all the other kids waved their invites around.

150

After school, I walked home and stopped at the candy store to cheer myself up.

151

Just then, I caught this boy staring at me.

152

Then he started following me around the store.

153

I let him down an aisle, hid behind a display case, and when he wasn't looking, I tackled him and put him in a headlock.

154

Ouch, that hurts.

155

What's your problem?

156

Why are you following me?

157

He reached behind me and pulled off a huge piece of paper that was taped to my back with the word loser written in bold black letters.

158

I was so embarrassed.

159

Then all of a sudden, I started to cry like a big baby.

160

What's wrong?

161

My life stinks.

162

My best friend abandoned me.

163

My family doesn't like me.

164

And all the kids at school think I'm a freak and a loser.

165

You're not a loser.

166

You don't even know me.

167

I just have a feeling you're pretty cool and someone I'd like to know better.

168

His name was Hunter, and he was really cute.

169

and we had a ton of things in common.

170

We loved the same books and movies and he made me laugh a lot.

171

We quickly became friends and having him around made me feel a lot less lonely.

172

The more time I spent with Hunter, the more I started to like him.

173

He never once compared me to Jen and he always listened to me.

174

Even when I went on a full-on rant about how my parents gave Jen a brand new laptop on my birthday and I just got some cheap shoes.

175

Then one day, my parents called me into the kitchen for a family meeting.

176

Guess what, Lola?

177

I got into St.

178

Florence's Academy.

179

Isn't that incredible?

180

Jen, we're so proud of you.

181

We can't wait to start our new life in Chicago.

182

Chicago?

183

What?

184

No way!

185

I'm not moving there.

186

I'm not leaving Hunter.

187

Lola, don't be selfish.

188

You'll find plenty of new friends in Chicago.

189

I don't need to make new friends.

190

I already have a friend here.

191

I'm not moving.

192

I stormed off to my room.

193

Ten minutes later, Jen showed up at my door.

194

Can we talk?

195

Why?

196

Have you found more ways to ruin my life?

197

That's not fair.

198

You want to talk about fair?

199

Ever since you were born, you've taken everything away from me.

200

My parents, my toys, my room, and now my only real friend.

201

I know I wasn't very nice to you when we were kids, but I've tried reaching out to you after that, to talk or help you out with your issues, but you just shut me out.

202

Issues?

203

My only issue is you.

204

I'm sorry you feel that way.

205

Yeah, right.

206

Emily's throwing me a going away party tomorrow night.

207

Come if you want or just sit in your room being bitter.

208

It's up to you.

209

Jen put the invitation on my bed and left.

210

I was pissed at her.

211

But I'd never been invited to a party before.

212

My heart ached at the thought of leaving Hunter behind and never seeing him again.

213

Hunter was more than my best friend.

214

I felt I was in love with him.

215

I invited Hunter to the party and he agreed to go.

216

The party was at Emily's Mansion and it was so much fun.

217

The food was great, the music was spectacular, and the best thing of all was that Hunter was there with me.

218

Then a slow song played.

219

It was the perfect moment to tell Hunter how I felt.

220

You want to dance?

221

Sure.

222

Dancing with Hunter was so romantic.

223

He held me tight, and his cologne smelled so good.

224

I looked up into his eyes.

225

I like you.

226

I like you too.

227

You want to kiss me?

228

I really do.

229

We had the most magical kiss, but then something strange happened.

230

I opened my eyes to find everyone staring and laughing and pointing at me, and Hunter was gone.

231

Hunter?

232

Lola, what's wrong?

233

Where's Hunter?

234

He was right there.

235

I started to panic.

236

Where could he have gone?

237

Hey, look at the freak making out with her invisible boyfriend.

238

Emily pointed at a huge screen on the wall.

239

A video of me dancing alone and kissing the air played on a loop.

240

I wished I could curl up into a tiny little ball and roll away.

241

I ran out of there in tears and went straight to my treehouse.

242

Minutes later, I heard a knock and Jen walked in.

243

Lola, please talk to me.

244

Tell me what's going on with you.

245

I thought Hunter was a real boy I was in love with.

246

How stupid is that?

247

I'm a freak and a loser like everyone says.

248

No, you're not.

249

You just found a way to cope with your loneliness.

250

That's nothing to be ashamed of.

251

Now you know the truth and you can move forward.

252

Move forward to what?

253

No one cares about me.

254

I do.

255

From now on, I'll be here for whenever you need me, I swear.

256

And we're gonna teach Emily a lesson.

257

Jen and I went to my dad's butcher shop and grabbed a bunch of raw meat.

258

Then we went back to Emily's house.

259

Hey, Jen.

260

Hey, crazy.

261

You still looking for the invisible boy?

262

No, we just wanted to give you a gift.

263

A gift for me?

264

What is it?

265

Then Jen and I dumped the raw meat on Emily's head.

266

She screamed like a banshee as Jen and I went away laughing.

267

The next day, as the last of the moving trucks were being loaded, I made one last visit to the treehouse, and suddenly both Madison and Hunter appeared.

268

How come you're both here now?

269

Will you stay for long this time?

270

We just came to say goodbye.

271

We don't think you need us anymore.

272

You have a chance to start over.

273

Let other people get to know you.

274

They don't know what they're missing.

275

You're a super cool friend.

276

Thanks, you guys.

277

You were there when I needed you the most.

278

Goodbye, Lola, and good luck.

279

It was sad to watch them leave for good, but it felt like it was time.

280

We moved to Chicago, and Jen was true to her word.

281

We started spending more time together, and I realized Jen didn't have the perfect life after all.

282

I'm so tired of spelling bees.

283

I only do the competition to make extra money for mom and dad.

284

I just want to be a normal teenager for once and live my life without so much pressure.

285

You should tell them how you feel.

286

I've got your back.

287

I stood by Jen when she told her parents she wanted to stop doing spelling bees.

288

After that, Jen and I grew even closer.

289

I finally had a real best friend, and she just happened to be my genius little sister.

290

Thank you.
