【Apple】Old high school friend wants to use a reunion to make a move... Hopefully out of my life

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:03][music] >> Hey Robin. How's it been hanging? You still kicking it?

[00:00:09]Is this Margaret? I don't have this number saved.

[00:00:13]Got me.

[00:00:14]>> [laughter] >> How did you know?

[00:00:17]You're the only person I know who would greet someone like that. [music] How did you even get my number?

[00:00:22]We were in a group chat together a while back. I just grabbed your number from there.

[00:00:28]I see.

[00:00:30]I'm shocked I don't have your number saved.

[00:00:33]Yeah, yeah. Anyway, the gang is getting together next month for drinks and stuff. You coming? Or is it out of your price range again?

[00:00:42]You've managed to miss every get-together over the past 12 years.

[00:00:45]You're going to have to make an appearance at some point or we might think that you don't like us.

[00:00:50]You think you're too good for us now?

[00:00:53]You can't be that delusional, right?

[00:00:56]I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it.

[00:00:59]Jordan is organizing it, right?

[00:01:01]She reached out to me the other day. We chatted for a bit.

[00:01:05]I haven't seen her in ages.

[00:01:08]I should have known.

[00:01:10]You found the one other antisocial one in the group and are latching on.

[00:01:15]You going to meet in secret so you can say you've hung out with the group recently? Cuz that doesn't count.

[00:01:21]>> [laughter] >> I don't have any secret motivations for catching up with an old friend. Jordan and I used to get along well. We used to hang out all the time back in the day.

[00:01:32]Whatever you have to tell yourself to get through the day. Everyone knows that you're full of it. We've been talking about you behind your back.

[00:01:40]>> [laughter] >> Good for you.

[00:01:43]Anyway, was there a reason you messaged me?

[00:01:46]What do you mean?

[00:01:48]You went out of your way to dig through old conversations to find my number.

[00:01:52]Why?

[00:01:54]Tired of talking to me already? Same old personable Robin.

[00:01:59]But actually, there is a reason I'm messaging you. I was hoping you could do something for me.

[00:02:05]And what might that be?

[00:02:07]Remember Jim? He's been out of town for a while, but he's finally back and he is coming out with us.

[00:02:14]I remember him. What does this have to do with me?

[00:02:18]Oh, don't act dumb. You were obsessed with that guy back in high school.

[00:02:23]Was I now?

[00:02:25]Not to make you jealous, but if I play my cards right, I might be able to truly make it a night to remember if you know what I mean. [laughter] Okay, good for you. So, what is this favor?

[00:02:39]Stay away from him.

[00:02:42]That's the favor?

[00:02:44]Yes, let me make myself clear.

[00:02:47]He is mine. I know you've always had your little crush, but he is way out of your league. So, don't make a fool of yourself.

[00:02:55]Even if you do come to our little get-together, you'd only be wasting your time approaching him. Leave him to women more suitable, like me.

[00:03:03]Sounds like you're scared of competition.

[00:03:06]Don't push your luck. I don't mess around when it comes to getting things I want.

[00:03:11]I have been dreaming about him for years. The man's an entrepreneur.

[00:03:15]He began his own media company 3 years back. I'm sure he gets to hang out with tons of hot celebrities all day long.

[00:03:23]Ah, the dream.

[00:03:25]He's a man after my own heart. Hot and in the biz. What more could a girl ask for?

[00:03:32]This get-together is my chance, so I am going all out.

[00:03:37]I don't want you or any of the other girls being a distraction. Just let love take its natural course.

[00:03:44]We're distractions?

[00:03:46]You are. He needs to only have eyes for me. I'm contacting all of the girls and trying to talk them out of going. Well, that's a bold move.

[00:03:55]You realize he's engaged, right?

[00:03:58]Your point?

[00:03:59]Just that I don't think this party is going to be the golden opportunity that you think it is.

[00:04:05]Look at you.

[00:04:07]You think I care about that sort of thing even if it were true? How do you know anyway? You a stalker or something?

[00:04:15]No.

[00:04:17]Anyway, I won't be discouraged, especially not by the least popular kid in high school.

[00:04:22]It seems nothing about you has changed since then, too. Other than the fact that you got poorer.

[00:04:28]If I want your advice, I'll ask. I would have to be brain dead to get to that point, though.

[00:04:34]But it's not entirely your fault. Your parents were bums, so naturally their laziness would rub off on you. How many jobs did your dad get laid off from again?

[00:04:43]Margaret, dear.

[00:04:45]It's been 12 years since high school.

[00:04:47]Who cares who was popular 12 years ago?

[00:04:50]Isn't it time to move on?

[00:04:52]It was a foretelling of the future.

[00:04:55]>> [laughter] >> I won't deny that I didn't have the best parents growing up. They were drunks that could never hold down a job. All that did was motivate me, though.

[00:05:05]And not all of my support system was bad. My grandparents spent a ton of time raising me. Thanks to them, I studied hard and went to a good college.

[00:05:15]>> [laughter] >> This is more pathetic than I thought.

[00:05:23]>> [laughter] >> Poverty sounds worse than I could have ever imagined.

[00:05:28]>> [laughter] >> I'm not the same person I was 12 years ago.

[00:05:32]I have a real job where I make good money.

[00:05:36]Who'd be stupid enough to hire you?

[00:05:38]I was trying to be the bigger person in this conversation, but you refuse to let up.

[00:05:44]Oh, I hate to disappoint you, but my life isn't anywhere near as bad as you seem to think it is. Find someone else's misery to wallow in.

[00:05:52]Anything to distract you from your own misery.

[00:05:55]Well, look at you.

[00:05:57]Someone's grown a backbone since high school. You're feistier than I remember.

[00:06:02]I'll take that as a compliment.

[00:06:05]Whatever, weirdo.

[00:06:07]Just stay away from Jim and don't test my patience.

[00:06:10]I'll be the one that he ends up marrying.

[00:06:13]I think that's overly optimistic of you, seeing that he has a fiance and all.

[00:06:18]I'll just humor you.

[00:06:20]Even if that is true, I don't care. I'll do anything to make him change his mind.

[00:06:25]Give me 24 hours with that man and he'll be at my fingertips.

[00:06:30]>> [laughter] >> I would recommend not doing that.

[00:06:34]>> [music] >> You tried this back in high school with a couple of different guys, remember?

[00:06:37]How did that work out for you, huh?

[00:06:40]Yeah, yeah.

[00:06:41]It's okay to be jealous. Just try not to let it consume you, okay?

[00:06:45]You couldn't get guys back in high school and nothing has changed for you.

[00:06:49]All these bad girls just swoop in and steal the good ones away.

[00:06:53]Leave the problem of the fiance to me.

[00:06:56]I appreciate your concern, though.

[00:07:06]Robin, skipping out again?

[00:07:11]>> [music] >> The party has started and you're nowhere to be found. Shocker of the century.

[00:07:21]Let me guess, you realized no one wanted you here. Wimped out last minute.

[00:07:27]Accepting reality is hard, but it's the right choice.

[00:07:30]I am so proud of you.

[00:07:33]>> [laughter] >> Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm on my way now. I'll see you in a bit.

[00:07:40]What? Why? You're actually coming?

[00:07:43]Trying to be cool by showing up late?

[00:07:47]>> [laughter] >> Maybe you're hoping we're all drunk by the time that you get here. That way you don't stand out as much. Nice thinking.

[00:07:54]Too bad it won't work. You're going to be a loner no matter what strategies you employ.

[00:08:00]More importantly, my precious Jim hasn't arrived yet. I'm getting nervous he might not show.

[00:08:06]I spent hours getting ready today. I look absolutely incredible. It would be a shame if he didn't get to bask in my beauty. He'd better show up. I already told everyone I was running late in the group chat. Jim said the same. He did?

[00:08:21]Oh, thank god. I haven't been checking my phone.

[00:08:24]He got tied up at work. Make sense. I'm sure he's in high demand.

[00:08:28]What is your excuse?

[00:08:31]You saw Jim was running late and wanted to imitate him. No one is impressed.

[00:08:36]>> [laughter] >> You reek of desperation.

[00:08:41]Whatever, you do you.

[00:08:44]Jim's coming. That's all that matters. I got to go and freshen up.

[00:08:48]He said he's about 20 minutes out. Oh, I'm getting so nervous.

[00:08:52]Okay, I'm going to take a shot and fix my makeup. I'm going to dazzle him.

[00:09:04]Oh my god. Are you seeing this?

[00:09:08]Jim brought a woman? Why would he do that?

[00:09:12]Why are you surprised? I told you he's engaged.

[00:09:16]I recognize her. She was on the cover of the most recent sports entertainment.

[00:09:21]I'm equal parts annoyed and starstruck right now.

[00:09:24]Why is she here? Is that the girl? I'm going to need another shot. [music] No one else brought dates.

[00:09:32]Who does that? No one wants to see some supermodel.

[00:09:36]Still haven't noticed?

[00:09:38]Noticed what?

[00:09:41]Every time you message me, this so-called supermodel's phone lights up.

[00:09:45]Weird, huh? Do you think that's really a strange coincidence?

[00:09:50]I guess 12 years without seeing someone makes people forget. I don't think I look that different, though.

[00:09:56]What are you saying?

[00:09:58]Caught up yet or should I spell it out for you?

[00:10:03]Oh, no. This can't be happening.

[00:10:05]It is. Let me prove [music] it. I'll grab Jim's left hand. Watch and see.

[00:10:12]She grabbed his hand.

[00:10:15]She did, yes. This is a pretty weird conversation to continue via text now that you know where I am.

[00:10:22]I can't believe my eyes.

[00:10:25]You? You are a supermodel?

[00:10:29]Caught me. Here, I'll wave to you.

[00:10:32]You look entirely different. I don't even recognize you anymore.

[00:10:38]Crazy what contacts and a gym membership can do for a person.

[00:10:41]I cut ties with my toxic parents and got my act together. Look how far I've come.

[00:10:47]Obviously, I'm leaving out some of the details, but I'll let your imagination fill in the blanks.

[00:10:52]This is a joke. Where are the cameras?

[00:10:55]These clout pranks are getting out of hand. No matter how hard you try, you won't become popular.

[00:11:00]Did you call Jim and set this up? Had him give your phone to one of his model friends just to pull some big elaborate prank on me? Is this your way of getting back at me for high school? That has to be it. Anything more believable than you becoming a model.

[00:11:14]That's quite the imagination you have.

[00:11:17]Perhaps I left out too many blanks.

[00:11:20]It's not that complicated of a scheme. I don't know how you got Jim in on it, too, though.

[00:11:25]Well, your plan failed. No one is fooled.

[00:11:29]This must be what happens to a person's mind when they're raised in poverty.

[00:11:33]They get sick ideas.

[00:11:35]It's not my fault you couldn't make it in society like the rest of us. I am not going to apologize for pointing it out, though. You need to know.

[00:11:43]I've got to give you props for setting this all up, though.

[00:11:46]I almost admire you. Someone this petty is a woman after my own heart.

[00:11:52]Still in denial, huh?

[00:11:54]You could message Jim on Instagram or something. I don't know. You do you.

[00:11:59]I could almost see us becoming friends.

[00:12:02]That would be too weird. I obviously follow him. I don't want to make a fool out of myself by accusing him of something.

[00:12:10]Check out his most recent post.

[00:12:13]Oh, God.

[00:12:14]Is this for real?

[00:12:16]All caught up?

[00:12:18]No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I won't accept this.

[00:12:22]His wedding announcement?

[00:12:24]Yep. It's all there. How he's marrying his high school sweetheart, Robin, and how he's so fortunate he gets to work with me and live with me for the rest of his life.

[00:12:34]How is this fair?

[00:12:36]You?

[00:12:38]You've always been a fan of belittling me. I can't believe some of the stuff that you've said to me throughout the years.

[00:12:45]I've been showing Jim my texts. Needless to say, he is not excited to see you.

[00:12:50]He decided to be petty, too. He chose today to announce our wedding just to make you jealous.

[00:12:57]We got everything okayed by my talent agency. So, yeah, I'm getting married.

[00:13:02]Where is my congratulations, huh?

[00:13:04]I am not happy for you.

[00:13:07]You don't say.

[00:13:08]Well, there you have it. Jim and I are getting married. I'm the woman.

[00:13:14]He'd like to formally request you stop stalking him now. He is not interested.

[00:13:20]Me?

[00:13:21]Because I follow him on Instagram, that makes me a stalker?

[00:13:25]I think he's attractive and husband material. I just wanted to show him that I could be wife material to him.

[00:13:32]You know what I'm talking about. He's seen you pacing around in front of his office almost daily hoping for an accidental bump-in.

[00:13:40]He even caught you following him home.

[00:13:42]Just stop. It is getting really creepy.

[00:13:46]A couple of times could be chalked up to coincidence, but come on. It's been weeks. You need to stop.

[00:13:53]Not to mention all of the desperate texts you've been sending him. He hasn't been responding for a reason.

[00:13:58]>> [music] >> Take that as a hint.

[00:14:00]People at his office are starting to notice.

[00:14:02]>> [music] >> Please don't cause him any further trouble.

[00:14:06]Were you hoping that he would be flattered by that kind of behavior? That would make any sane person to run for the hills.

[00:14:13]You don't know me.

[00:14:15]Don't pretend to understand my business, either.

[00:14:18]I don't really want to know. You are a pretty vile person.

[00:14:23]Excuse me?

[00:14:24]You're a textbook stalker with a horrible personality. There's a reason you're single. Some self-reflection might help you understand why.

[00:14:33]You swine. Wait. Where did you guys go?

[00:14:37]I just saw you a minute ago.

[00:14:39]We left. You were too busy frothing at the mouth staring at your phone to notice. Looks like you missed out on your chance to woo Jim.

[00:14:47]We didn't really see a point to staying and causing unnecessary drama for the rest of the group. We'll let you mope in peace.

[00:14:54]I am not finished with you.

[00:14:58]>> [music] >> Here, Jim is going to message for a second.

[00:15:05]For me?

[00:15:07]Hey, nut job. You want to stop?

[00:15:09]Keep it up and I'll call the police.

[00:15:11]You've done more than enough at this point to warrant a police report.

[00:15:15]Oh, stop being dramatic.

[00:15:17]Or we can just show these messages to your dad. That might get the message across.

[00:15:23]You're going to tell my dad on me?

[00:15:25]Sure, why not? He's in the biz with me.

[00:15:27]I've been in somewhat frequent contact with him as of late. He doesn't seem like the type to put up with nonsense, especially not from his family.

[00:15:36]So, how about it? Should I call him up now? Maybe have him pick you up cuz you're clearly too drunk to be driving yourself home.

[00:15:44]Don't get him involved, please.

[00:15:47]Cool. Stop bothering us, then.

[00:15:56]We heard from some of her friends that Margaret didn't wait long to leave.

[00:16:01]She was despondent at the bar waiting through her texts for a little while before trying to slip out.

[00:16:07]She drank so much, though, that the bartender took her keys.

[00:16:11]She ended up calling her dad and asking him to come and pick her up.

[00:16:14]I guess she ended up spilling the beans to him because we got a call from him the following day apologizing on her behalf.

[00:16:21]He and Jim talked at great length. Jim told him all about the stalking and how her actions had started to affect his business. Her father promised to keep her away for good.

[00:16:31]He told Jim to call him if he even catches a whiff of her around his home or office.

[00:16:36]A couple of drama-free months passed.

[00:16:39]Eventually, Margaret married someone from her dad's company.

[00:16:43]I don't know if her dad had any influence in setting them up, but she got her wish in marrying someone in the business.

[00:16:49]But it's not all sunshine and roses for her. Her mother-in-law seems to be giving her a run for her money.

[00:16:55]I would say that she's far from happy, but she's better off than she deserves.
