Speaker A

Hi, my name is Lola and I'm from Atlanta. Please like and subscribe.

00:35

Speaker A

When I was a kid, my parents and I had adventures all the time. We played hide-and-seek.

00:35

Speaker B

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.

01:01

Speaker B

My life was fantastic. But when I turned three, Mom gave birth to an evil witch named Genevieve.

01:29

Speaker B

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.

01:55

Speaker B

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

01:55

Speaker C

Hey, I was playing with that. Jen started walking at 9 months old.

02:23

Speaker C

At 2, she could write her own name. And at three, she could do the alphabet without making any mistakes.

02:51

Speaker C

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.

03:19

Speaker C

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.

03:46

Speaker C

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.

04:15

Speaker C

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.

04:46

Speaker C

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.

05:15

Speaker C

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

05:45

Speaker C

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

06:13

Speaker C

Mom and Dad said I could switch. This room's bigger and has more space for my trophies.

06:44

Speaker C

But, but this is my room. Mom, Dad, make Jen give me my room back.

07:10

Speaker C

Lola, stop being ridiculous. You don't need a room this size. You don't have any trophies.

07:35

Speaker C

Genie, do you need anything? Uh, should I put up some more shelves? A new bookcase?

08:05

Speaker C

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.

08:33

Speaker C

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.

08:33

Speaker D

Then out of nowhere, this girl appeared and snatched it out of my hand. Hey, that's mine. This is my treehouse. Get out.

08:33

Speaker E

I don't see your name on it. It's written right there. Oh.

09:02

Speaker E

Then the strange girl wrote the word Madison on the wall. I guess we're roommates now. We'll just have to share.

09:31

Speaker E

Then she tossed me half the candy bar. Madison and I spent the rest of the day together, and she was pretty wild.

10:02

Speaker E

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.

10:02

Speaker F

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.

10:02

Speaker A

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.

10:02

Speaker B

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

10:02

Speaker C

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.

10:32

Speaker D

Suddenly, Jen appeared out of nowhere. Lola, who are you talking to? Madison? Duh. Who's that?

11:02

Speaker D

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.

11:31

Speaker D

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.

12:02

Speaker D

And went back inside, and Madison instantly reappeared beside me. Where did you go? I didn't want to meet your stupid sister.

12:02

Speaker E

And there, I got you. You're dead.

12:02

Speaker F

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.

12:29

Speaker A

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

12:29

Speaker B

Then Madison started sneaking into my school. She'd make funny faces and tell the best jokes.

12:55

Speaker B

Madison, you're hilarious. Stop, please. I'm going to pee my pants. Uh, who's Madison? Is she talking to the wall?
