Hi, I'm Dee Dee, and I'm your typical high school nerd.

Except I have a very big secret.

Want to know more?

Stick around, and yeah, like and subscribe to MSA.

I lived with my parents and twin sister, Claire.

Growing up, I was a very quiet kid and mostly kept to myself.

Read books, got straight A's,

but Claire was the total opposite.

She was the school's queen bee,

really pretty, and every week she would date a new guy who would instantly fall in love with her.

You are so perfect, Claire.

I love you.

Aw, sweetie, you're not too bad yourself.

I love your, um, smile.

I love your smile and your eyes and your perfect little hands.

I love everything about you.

Can you guys go and be annoying somewhere else?

I'm trying to do my homework and your sugar talks are making me nauseous.

Are we making you jealous?

Because let's face it, the only guy you'd ever kiss is your stuffed panda.

At least he's permanent.

Unlike the losers you date for two weeks,

then dump and file restraining orders against because they end up stalking you.

I wonder what will happen to this new arm candy.

Word of advice, lover boy?

Run before it's too late.

Claire threw a cushion at my head and left,

and I couldn't help giggling.

But she wasn't wrong.

I was a little jealous of her.

Even though I was smarter and more poised than Claire,

I was always known as the other twin,

or the geeky one, and no guy ever gave me the same kind of attention as Claire.

Well, no one except Sid.

He was the bratty son of some rich industrialist,

and was really popular for his stupid pranks in school.

The first time I saw him was on the first day of high school,

when he rollerbladed his way into me in the school hallway,

and we both fell on our butts.

Wow, I've never seen anyone like you before.

Really?

Of course.

I mean, how many people can be as stupid and blind as you are?

You've got to be someone special.

Excuse me, but you crashed into me.

You should be apologizing.

You're right.

Where are my manners?

I'm sorry for calling you blind,

because you also have an incredibly twitchy face and you sound like a pregnant horse when you talk.

Now, I know I'm very handsome and you'd rather spend your day staring at me,

but I'm late for class.

And Sid just pushed past me and left.

I was hoping to never run into him again,

but then I walked into the class and the teacher introduced him as the new student.

To make things worse, she appointed me as his student tutor to bring him up to date with the classes.

Later, as I sat with Sid in the library,

I saw him staring at me funny.

You must be so happy.

What makes you say that?

Come on, I saw how you were staring at me in the hallway.

You like me and it's cool.

So how about we ditch these books and make out?

How about I punch your face and fracture your nose?

My plan's better.

Sid slid to my side and our faces were inches apart.

Do you always smell like this?

Like what?

Like a mix of poop and garlic.

Your breath stinks.

What the heck?

I thought with time, Sid would find a new target.

But a whole year went by and he only got more annoying.

One time, he put a rat in my locker and it chewed all my books.

And another time, Sid pulled out a fake snake from his bag and threw it in my face.

In the middle of a chemistry class.

I got spooked, tripped, and crashed into a table full of chemicals.

We couldn't enter the lab for a whole week thanks to the smell of rotten eggs.

But despite everything, I had one thing going on right.

My secret matchmaking website.

I was Mrs. Cupid.

Famous for giving advice to anonymous kids who are suffering in their love life.

Dear Miss Cupid, I have a crush on this mega hot chick,

but since she's the most popular girl in school, she never notices me.

How do I get her to date me?

Dear Agent Hot Abs, I'm sorry,

but the only way you'll get a girl like that to date you is in your dreams.

But try the Math Club,

Drama Club, and Polar Bear Rights Club.

You've got a lot of pretty girls in there.

And a month later, Agent Hot Abs confirmed that he was dating a theater club girl.

Another time, I got an email from the Bimbo Babe.

Dear Miss Cupid, I want a boyfriend,

but I don't want to sound too desperate.

What should I do?

Dear Bimbo Babe, if you're writing this email,

it means you're already desperate.

And something about your name tells me you're not too smart either.

Try searching the library for some hot geeks.

100

This way, you can find a date and maybe learn a thing or two.

101

Win-win!

102

And a week later, Bimbo Babe was dating someone too.

103

Another score for Miss Cupid.

104

I'm making your dreams come true.

105

There you are!

106

I jumped in shock as Sid walked up from behind me and I shut my laptop.

107

Whatcha hiding on that computer?

108

Are you stalking me on Instagram.

109

I knew it.

110

You have a crush on me.

111

I don't.

112

Now stop snooping around and leave.

113

Not so soon.

114

Sid snatched the laptop from my hand.

115

I tried to get it back,

116

but that sleaze bag wouldn't let go.

117

Finally, the laptop fell on the ground and the screen flew open.

118

No way.

119

You're Mrs. Cupid?

120

You give advice to corny teenagers.

121

Oh my God, I'm dying.

122

I think I might have coughed up a lung.

123

Shut up, you moron.

124

And yeah, I am Mrs. Cupid.

125

But if you tell anybody,

126

I swear I I won't tell anyone if you agree to set me up with someone.

127

I know you're probably wondering why a hot guy like me would need your help,

128

but I want to see how good you are.

129

I'd rather eat a bag of worms than help you.

130

Suddenly, Sid ran out of the door and screamed into the school hallway.

131

Hey, everybody!

132

Our grand school matchmaker, Mrs. Cupid, is none other than...

133

I covered his mouth and yanked him back into the classroom.

134

Why are you doing this?

135

You haven't dated a single girl this whole year,

136

and now suddenly you want a girlfriend?

137

Maybe I'm bored, and this could be a welcome change.

138

Now, do we have a deal?

139

Ugh, I hate this, but fine,

140

I'll find a date for you.

141

And if you two hit it off,

142

you have to promise to permanently get off my back.

143

Whatever you say, princess.

144

I know it was probably the worst idea to help Sid,

145

but I also didn't want anyone to find out I was Miss Cupid.

146

It was the one good thing in my life.

147

I wasn't going to let all my hard work go down the drain.

148

So I sat up all night trying to find the perfect match for Sid.

149

And the next day, I arranged a few dates for Sid,

150

but they all ended up in massive disasters.

151

Have you seen my new rubber chicken collection?

152

You're what?

153

Rubber chicken.

154

You know the one you squeeze and it makes a sound?

155

Let me show you an example.

156

I'm a dorky chick and I love to flap my wings.

157

Beep, beep, beep.

158

OK, OK.

159

Actually, I just remembered I have to take my cat for a manicure.

160

See you around.

161

And we never saw her again.

162

The next day, Sid met another girl at a burger joint and sneakily placed his dumb rubber chicken in her food.

163

Just as she took a bite,

164

the toy made a sound and she almost passed out.

165

This happened a few more times before I finally lost my mind and cornered Sid.

166

What's the matter with you?

167

And what's with this stupid obsession with rubber chickens?

168

What?

169

I really like them.

170

And if I can't share my passion,

171

what's even the point of having a girlfriend?

172

If you really want this to work,

173

you've got to step up your date game.

174

Carrying chicken toys to dates is not how you woo a girl.

175

Really?

176

Then how do you woo a girl?

177

Sid came closer, staring into my eyes.

178

And for a second, I forgot how to breathe.

179

But then he just pulled my laptop closer and stared at the screen.

180

Oh, this one sounds interesting.

181

Dear Cupid Lovelock, I'm tired of dating the same guy over and over again.

182

Find me someone different, Bored Anonymous.

183

Ahem, yeah, cool.

184

Now sit back and let me work my magic.

185

I texted Bored Anonymous

186

that the boy she was looking for would meet her in the library with a red book in hand.

187

And the next day, Sid sat at the desk with the book

188

while I hid behind the wall waiting for Bored Anonymous to show up.

189

I almost threw up when I saw Claire walk in and she went straight to Sid.

190

She was Bored Anonymous?

191

Mind if I take this seat?

192

I don't see why not.

193

Claire pulled out a chair and I waited for Sid to do something stupid,

194

but surprisingly they got along really well.

195

They were cracking up at Sid's jokes and Sid was blushing like stupid girl and weirdly enough,

196

I started feeling kind of jealous watching them together.

197

I was still lost in my thoughts when Sid walked over.

198

That went well.

199

You don't actually think you can date my sister, do you?

200

Why?

201

Claire is fun, cool, and pretty to look at.

202

Why should I not date her?

203

Because you guys are totally different,

204

and she's known to crush boys and walk all over them.

205

That was before she met me.

206

I'm gonna steal her heart,

207

and she won't know what hit her.

208

In fact, she just asked me to be her date at this super cool party,

209

and I think I'm going to go.

210

Uh-huh.

211

Guess what?

212

I'll be there too, with my boyfriend.

213

You know you can't bring an imaginary person to a party, right?

214

He's not imaginary.

215

He's a very real person.

216

You'll see.

217

I can't wait.

218

Neither can I.

219

And yeah, don't forget your rubber chickens.

220

I walked away feeling kind of miserable.

221

I had less than five hours to find myself a boyfriend.

222

So I just asked one of the guys from the chemistry class to be my date.

223

And he said yes.

224

The party was nice.

225

And I was having a good time until Sid showed up with Claire on his arm

226

and sat right next to me and my date.

227

Oh, my sweet honey buns.

228

I could stare into your eyes forever.

229

And I could stare into yours.

230

I can stare.

231

I can stare deeper.

232

I can stare into your soul and I can say you're an angel.

233

That doesn't even make any sense.

234

It's a metaphor.

235

It's stupid.

236

You're stupid.

237

Are you two done?

238

Because I want to dance.

239

Sid, come on.

240

We'll join you.

241

But I don't know how to dance.

242

Just follow my lead.

243

I drive my date, but he kept missing steps,

244

banged into a bunch of people.

245

At one point, he stomped on my feet so bad,

246

I had to sit down with an ice pack.

247

I didn't see Sid and Claire after that,

248

and the next day, they were officially dating.

249

Sid was so lost in Claire's love,

250

he didn't pay any attention to me.

251

No pranks, no rude comments,

252

not even a glance, and it made me so mad.

253

But I knew it was only a matter of days till Claire would dump Sid.

254

Despite our weird relationship, he was kinda the only friend I had,

255

and I didn't want him to end up hating me after Claire dumped him.

256

So I tried talking to Claire about it.

257

So you and Sid, huh?

258

When are you dumping him?

259

Not this time.

260

I actually like this guy,

261

and I think I'm gonna stick around.

262

But he's so uncultured and weird,

263

and I might warn you,

264

he has an unhealthy obsession with rubber chicken toys.

265

It's bizarre.

266

So?

267

He's a funny guy.

268

And why are you so interested in Sid anyway?

269

You never paid attention to the guys I've dated in the past.

270

I'm just looking out for you.

271

Yeah, right.

272

Stop prying and mind your own business.

273

Claire Cat walked her way out of the room,

274

and I kept thinking about what she said.

275

Why was it bothering me so much that Sid was dating Claire?

276

Did I have feelings for him?

277

Ew.

278

No. Yuck.

279

I just shoved whatever stupid thoughts I had to aside and decided to focus on my studies.

280

But my concentration was all over the place.

281

Then one day, I was in the library,

282

breaking my head over some complicated maths equation when someone pulled my notebook.

283

Sid, give that back.

284

I will when you tell me why are you so mad at me.

285

Why would I be mad at you?

286

Do I look mad at you?

287

You and I are not friends that I'll be mad enough to be mad at you.

288

That'll be madness and I'm not that mad.

289

I grabbed my books and turned to leave,

290

but Sid got in the way.

291

I'm not done talking.

292

Did you tell Claire that I'm uncultured and weird?

293

Maybe.

294

Why?

295

Because it's the truth.

296

You are weird and creepy and you don't care about anyone's feelings.

297

Remember how you chased me around for a year saying the stupidest things and now that you have a girlfriend,

298

it's like I don't even exist?

299

I thought you wanted me to back off and now you're bothered by it?

300

What do you want, Dee Dee?

301

I don't know, okay?

302

Maybe I'm just mad at you for not even saying a thank you.

303

If not for me, Claire would never date a rubber chicken loving brat like you.

304

Fine, thank you.

305

Happy now?

306

Anyway, I came here to ask your opinion on this necklace I got for Claire for prom,

307

but I guess it was a stupid mistake.

308

Glad to know that there's something you can figure out on your own.

309

Sid and I didn't talk after that,

310

and I just spent most of my days locked up in my room,

311

eating tubs of ice cream, and watching MSA.

312

Watching these stories made me realize how stupid I was to chase a guy who didn't even like me.

313

So I decided to keep my self-respect and forget about Sid,

314

even though it broke my heart.

315

Then a few days later,

316

it was prom, and I decided not to go.

317

I was casually sitting in my living room when I heard a car pull up in the driveway.

318

I peeked outside the window and saw Claire kissing some guy who looked nothing like Sid.

319

What the heck was that?

320

It's called none of your business.

321

No, it's called cheating.

322

You're dating Sid.

323

Remember your boyfriend?

324

Ex-boyfriend.

325

I've decided to dump him.

326

So he doesn't actually know?

327

Claire, he genuinely likes you.

328

Well, they all do.

329

I'm literally perfect.

330

But you know me, I get bored so easily,

331

and this Sid was a total freak.

332

He keeps annoying me with those stupid rubber chicken toys,

333

and all he ever did was joke and talk and blah blah blah.

334

Anyway, I can just drop him a text now.

335

Claire pulled out her phone,

336

but I just snatched it and threw it away.

337

And then I pounced on her like a wild cat while she struggled to push me away.

338

Finally, my parents walked in and threw me off.

339

I can't believe I thought you were capable of changing.

340

I should have fought harder for Sid.

341

In fact, I should have just asked him not to date you when I figured you were bored anonymous.

342

How did you?

343

Miss Cupid?

344

Oh my God, you liar.

345

I should have known it was you.

346

Only someone too lame to get a boyfriend would have so much time to find boyfriends for others.

347

You're calling me a liar?

348

What about you?

349

You cheating, backstabbing witch.

350

At least I have a life.

351

All you have is this desperate attempt to save your sanity.

352

I will kick your butt like a bazooka.

353

I charged at Claire one more time,

354

but before I could grab her,

355

Dad screamed at us to stop,

356

and then suddenly he fell to the ground unconscious.

357

We immediately called 911 and took him to the hospital.

358

Apparently, dad had been under tremendous work stress that impacted his heart,

359

and now he needed immediate surgery,

360

but it was really expensive,

361

and we didn't have that kind of money.

362

Mom had some savings, but it wasn't enough,

363

so Claire asked her friends for help,

364

but she was only met with more closed doors.

365

We were running out of options when the nurse told us that someone had paid our bill in full.

366

What?

367

Who?

368

The donor wants to keep his name anonymous.

369

Sorry.

370

With the bill being finally paid,

371

dad went into surgery, and thankfully, it was successful.

372

I was happy and I couldn't stop thinking about this anonymous donor.

373

So I waited for everyone to sleep and then slowly made my way to the computer in the reception area.

374

I typed in dad's name and the bill had no name,

375

but it did have a number.

376

SIDS, what are you doing?

377

SIDS paid the bill.

378

I can't believe this.

379

He must really like you a lot.

380

I don't think he did this for me, dummy.

381

I've seen the way he looks at you.

382

He likes you and I definitely know you like him.

383

Sorry about that.

384

Don't worry.

385

Now go before it's too late.

386

And yeah, don't ask Miss Cupid for help.

387

She kind of sucks.

388

I smiled and rushed out of the hospital,

389

but it was too late at night and I couldn't find a cab.

390

Disappointed, I was headed back to the hospital when I noticed a car in the parking lot and Sid sleeping inside it.

391

I walked over and banged on the window.

392

What, what?

393

I have a weapon, Didi?

394

Sid stepped out of the car and I immediately hugged him.

395

Thank you for saving my dad.

396

I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't stepped in,

397

but what are you doing in the parking lot?

398

I stuck around in case you needed more help.

399

Listen, Didi, there's something you should know.

400

I like you.

401

I was stupid to be playing games with you to begin with,

402

but I thought you weren't interested in me.

403

I started dating your sister to get some reaction out of you,

404

and I did get a bit infatuated with her,

405

but I started seeing her true color soon enough before she even dumped me.

406

I know I was crazy and should have just told you I like you in the first place, but...

407

Hey, hey, I like you too,

408

always have, but I needed you to date Claire to finally see that.

409

Guess we both kind of messed up.

410

We can still make it, right?

411

I'd like that.

412

Sid leaned in, and I was sure he was going to kiss me this time,

413

but instead, he handed me a rubber chicken.

414

You really know how to woo a girl.
