Look, accusing someone of stealing is a serious thing, and
especially if you're just accusing them of stealing only
based on the fact that they have less money than you.
In this story, a rich girl accuses a poor classmate of
stealing simply because they are poor.
This is a pretty crazy one, so strap in and let's jump right
into the story. So we're going to call the
subscriber who submitted this story Olivia.
So in Olivia's class, there was a spoiled rich girl who we're
going to call Sarah anyways for for the longest time, or at
least as long as Olivia can imagine.
Can remember, Sarah has always been the one who had the nicer
X, the nicer Y, the nicer whatever.
Her clothes look nicer, even from the beginning of
kindergarten. Olivia's known Sarah for quite a
while, but even from kindergarten she was driven in
in the nicer car, or I guess the nicest car.
That out of all of them, she always had the nicest clothes.
She always had the nicest whatever, right when they were
talking about what they were doing on, when they were going
home for vacation or break or whatever.
She would always have the most extravagant whatever that they
were doing. And Sarah would always go into
quite painstaking detail to remind each and every single one
of them that they were inferior and that she was the one you
know, who was, You know, they were the peasants and she was
the queen. So one day Sarah comes into
class and she has a new purse. So it was kind of like it was
6th grade. So this is where girls were
really starting to like, you know, discover makeup, discover
outfits, dresses, stuff like that.
Kind of the more Not adult fashion, but definitely high
school fashion. And it was starting to become
really cool for a lot of the girls in 6th grade.
So Olivia did not have a purse, but she had a standard backpack,
as everyone in school had a backpack.
Sarah was the only one to come in with a purse.
And the purse that she came in was one of the, like, expensive,
obvious designer ones. Like you guys will find that
there are a lot of clothing items out there and personal
accessory items out there, shoes, bags, whatever.
There are two kind of types of expensive ones.
Some of them are really expensive because they're, you
know, painstakingly made extreme attention to detail, etcetera.
And others might have some of those qualities, but they are
expensive because, you know, the brand, Gucci, Louis Vuitton,
something like that, right. So sure enough, Sarah came in
with one of those types of purses.
All the girls in the class were immediately like, Oh my God, do
you see Sarah? She has the, I don't know, the
new whatever is the popular fashion brand purse.
I heard that goes for a lot of money and a lot of money in
general, but especially when it comes to these kids, Anything
above $10 is a lot of money, which I I distinctly remember
those days In middle school I would do anything for a dollar
bill. I was like, hell yeah bro, I got
$2.00 in my pocket, I'm rich. But anyways, right?
So yeah, sure enough, everyone's talking about it and Sarah is
basking in the glory. So as Sarah basks in the glory,
she does something that is kind of definitely a big jerk move.
So not only does Sarah just bask in the glory herself, she also,
you know, kind of takes an opportunity to put herself above
other people. So Olivia comes from a
relatively middle class household, but a kind of, if you
look at, you know, standard curve or whatever, she's on the
lower, so she's lower. Middle class, right?
Her needs are met, food is there, there's heating in the
house and she gets transported to school, right?
And she her books are paid for. So she's doing well, right?
But definitely, you know, the school in general was more
middle class, upper middle class.
And Sarah was like rich, right? Rich, rich.
But she was on the lower middle class section and she felt it.
Sometimes she would feel it, talking about how her vacations
were always just going back home and staying at home.
Nothing wrong with going home. In fact, that's what I'm doing
for my winter vacation. I love being back with my
family. However, it's definitely, I'm
sure in middle school and even in high school and college
knowledge. If you're with your friends and
they just continuously talk about I'm going to X location,
I'm going to have so much fun in Y right location, then if you're
going to say, yeah, I'm going home for the the 100th time,
right, I can definitely understand why that would be.
You know, a little disappointing and maybe sleepovers at other
people's houses kind of reminds you, well, I enjoy my house, but
it's nothing like this person's house comparison is the thief of
joy. If you have to take one thing
away from this video, that is a great quote to have.
But anyways, Sarah does something pretty bad.
So Olivia has a very normal backpack.
No one else has a purse besides Sarah, but Olivia has a
backpack. And the backpack, granted, is a
little bit beat up. I know that I've had the same
backpack, at least in middle school.
I had like the same backpack for almost the entire time, and it
was all beat up and torn up. But as a guy, generally there's
not as much emphasis on, you know, the quality of clothes or
how expensive or nicer things look.
In fact, if you come in with anything that looks too nice,
people are going to be like, why didn't you make that scruffed up
before? Like, why didn't you scruff up
your shoes? You're supposed to do that.
You're supposed to come in with, like, ripped up, torn up stuff.
That's the kind of how it works with a lot of guys and at least
in my personal experience. But Olivia had a backpack that
was a little bit scruffed up or whatever.
So Sarah walks over to Olivia and she like places.
Like, she sits down right next to her and places her bag like
the big fancy. Well, let's say the Gucci bag,
just, I don't know what it was, but let's say it's a Gucci bag
or something like that puts it on the desk.
And Sarah put, like her book bag.
She even still Sarah still brought in a backpack, right?
She literally put in a few pencils into the Gucci bag to
basically excuse her bringing in a Gucci bag.
She literally just wanted to bring in the Gucci bag to flex
it, right? So she sits next to Olivia, and
Sarah looks over to Olivia, making sure that everyone is
paying attention because people watched her as she walked in.
She looks over Olivia and it's like, hmm, that backpack you
have looks a little scruffed up. You should get a purse like
this. And you guys might be thinking,
well, that's not really a harmful comment.
She didn't mean that with spite. First of all, Sarah definitely
said this intentionally. And second of all, yes, this is
a harmful comment because first of all, not everyone can get a
new backpack, right? Not everyone can get another bag
or whatever, but especially nobody in this class, and
especially Olivia, right? Especially Olivia, could get the
Gucci bag or whatever. So obviously this comment was
made literally just to kind of remind everyone that Sarah could
get something that others could not.
So this is where things get interesting.
So Sarah is like flaunting the bag, making sure that everybody
sees it or whatever, doing all that kind of stuff.
And the day goes on. And so Olivia has a few classes
with Sarah, and Sarah is a little late to the class they
have after lunch. And Olivia's a little confused
because at least in middle school, and I don't know about
your middle school, but at least my middle school, really.
Nobody was late to class. No one really skips class back
then. If they did, it was a pretty big
punishment. So that was a reason for people
not to. And also, what are they going to
do? Sit in the bathroom and play
Subway Surfers? Dude, you can already ask to go
to the bathroom when you're in class.
Like you can do that anyways and not get in trouble.
But anyways, Sarah comes into class late, like 5 minutes
later, whatever, and she comes. She looks all stressed out.
Her hair is a little frazzled, She's all like, I don't know,
freaking out or whatever. And she comes in and she
basically interrupts class. She's like someone stole my
purse, someone stole my purse. So basically what happened is
Sarah put her purse somewhere, she put it down somewhere when
she went to lunch. I guess she didn't want to bring
it to lunch, just in case there was a chance that herself or
someone else would eat too messily and spill something on
her purse. So instead of bringing her purse
to lunch, she put it away somewhere, and when she came
back from lunch, the purse was gone.
So yeah, she was pretty frazzled about this because this was like
the first day of having her super fancy, expensive purse.
And it definitely is not right to steal something.
But also whenever you have something, if you if you were to
have something that was expensive like that, to flaunt
it to everyone and to really, really focus on the dynamic of I
have something that you don't have and you want this.
Yeah, I'm not going to say it definitely is not right that
someone stole it, but you're increasing your odds of getting
of having your item robbed. Just basic humane dynamics and
it's good to be aware of it. Not saying it's right, just
saying it's a reality. So sure enough, Sarah is like,
starting to freak out and she's like, oh man, this is like, Oh
my like. And then eventually she turns to
which one of you guys stole it. So yeah, immediately goes on
like thinking, which one of you guys stole my purse?
So she thinks about it for a second and she thinks about, you
know, oh, I do remember this morning I sat down next to
Olivia and I talked to her about how wouldn't it be nice if she
had a new purse like mine because her backpack is so rough
and beat up and I know for a fact that Olivia could not
afford anything like my purse. And as Sarah's thinking this,
she realizes, or she believes that she has come to the
undeniable conclusion that Olivia stole her purse.
So instead of confronting Olivia directly saying I think you
stole my purse, Sarah decides to instead start spreading around a
rumor to everybody that Olivia is a thief and stole her purse.
Olivia doesn't even know this until the next class period when
this, like, girl she sits next to is like, like, that's like,
she sits next to this girl. And this girl is like, why would
you steal Sarah's purse? And Olivia's just so taken off
guard. She's like, what?
Like, what do you mean? And she's like, yeah, Sarah's
been telling everyone that you stole her purse, Like, why don't
you give it back to her? And Olivia's just looking at her
with this look of pure confusion.
Like, I just don't understand what you're saying.
And so the girl's like, oh, so you didn't steal it.
And Olivia's like, yeah, no, why would I steal it?
First of all, I am fine with my backpack.
I don't need a purse. And second of all, if you guys
saw me walking around with a Gucci purse, you know, I
wouldn't be able to afford that. And you know, it would be
Sarah's, especially if she just had one stolen.
Like, that is the goofiest thing I've ever heard.
So, yeah, sure enough, Olivia realizes.
And she says, did Sarah just tell you?
And the girl's like, no, I heard it from someone else.
Apparently Sarah's telling everyone, So Olivia's like, Oh
my God, whatever. So after class, Olivia finds
Sarah and confronts her. And she's like, Sarah, why are
you telling people that I stole your bag?
And that's when Sarah looks at her with this kind of look of
like, I know what you did. And Sarah says, I know it's you.
I'm just waiting for you to confess to me.
I don't have to come to you when you did something wrong.
And Olivia looks at her like, what are you even talking about?
I didn't do anything. Why do you think it's me?
And Sarah goes on to say, I know that it was you because you were
looking at my bag today and you definitely wanted it.
And I know that out of everyone, you were the least able to get
the purse. And Olivia's like, yeah, I was
looking at it because you sat next to me and started talking
to me and pointed to your purse. You drew attention to it.
I was simply looking at what you drew attention to.
I don't want your purse. And, Sarah, don't you think it'd
be a little weird if I came in the next day with a Gucci purse
that you know that very well that I cannot afford, and you
just had one stolen? Don't you think that that would
be a little bit obvious? And Sarah's like, yeah, I
thought more of you too. But you know what?
The truth will come out in time, and then we'll see.
And Sarah walks away. So Olivia at this point is like,
are you serious right now? Like, not only am I being
accused of something I didn't do, but I like, confronted
Sarah, and she just does not believe me.
Her evidence is that I'm poor. Like, that's literally her
evidence right now, which is ridiculous.
And it is so ridiculous that the secret word of the day is going
to be Sarah. I sometimes use the names.
I don't always use it. So comment Sarah if you made it
this far into the video. Also, all these videos are on
Spotify. If you prefer the Spotify
experience or you want compliment with the YouTube
experience in the pin, comment down below.
And if you are one of the lovely Spotify listeners, make sure you
rated the podcast five stars. And finally, if you are a
YouTube listener, the best thing you can possibly do is to binge
watch the channel, AKA watch as many videos as you possibly can.
Let me know in the comment section down below how many
videos you've watched today and also tell me in the comment
section what you do while watching my videos.
I'm genuinely curious. So anyways, Olivia has a problem
on her hands because at this point, the next day comes around
and everyone at school, it feels like Olivia walks in and every
single eye is on like this. Everyone is watching her.
So you know Olivia already knows what this is about.
She knows it's because Sarah has spread word that she's a thief
and now everyone thinks bad of her, even though the only crime
she committed was existing with a lower income than Sarah, which
is so ridiculous. So she was actually, you know,
about 20 minutes in a class. You know, Olivia was pulled out
by one of the administrators, so everyone looks at her.
It's so embarrassing and so awkward, because Olivia already
knows that this is going to probably be about her quote UN
quote stealing something that she didn't steal, And everyone
in class who now thinks that she's like, you know, all she,
they think that she's a thief now has even more reason to
believe it because she's being pulled out of class.
So Olivia, kind of annoyingly like, annoyed at this, gets up,
walks out of class and is like, yes.
And the administrator's like, can we just speak with you for a
minute? It's involving a a recent theft
and we're wondering if you could help us out.
And Olivia's like, OK, sure. You know what?
I'll be helpful. I'll clear my name.
I don't really care. So Olivia goes with the
administrator. They walk to some office and
they sit down and the principal's there and they're
like, hey, Olivia, like, you know, if you don't, if you
haven't already heard, there's a pretty, like, serious situation
where one of our students has lost a very valuable item.
And Olivia's like, yes, Sarah's handbag.
I know she's going around accusing me just because she
showed it off to me, flexed on me and thinks that I stole it
because I'm poor. And the principal's like, well,
well, well, we just wanted to. You were someone who was aware
of it. We just want to get a full
picture, basically. I think the principal was like,
we don't want to make it look like that.
We're just going accusing you based on the fact that report,
but that's basically what we're doing here.
So yeah, sorry, not sorry. Olivia ends up answering their
questions, does whatever. And they say like, you know,
we're going to do a locker search very soon if it's in
there and you're lying to us, like it would be so much easier
if you just tell us the truth. And Olivia's like, I have been
telling the truth. And I encourage you to do a
locker search because you will find nothing and my word will
stand. So they're like, OK, well, just
just giving you a heads up. They're like, you're not telling
the truth, you know, tell tell the truth.
Now you'll get a lesser sentence for whatever.
It'll make this easier. We'll go easier on you.
And Olivia's. Like I already told you, I
didn't steal anything. Yeah, Olivia's pretty mad.
So Olivia walks back into class like 20 minutes later.
There's like 10 minutes left of class and she wouldn't have even
done this. But the administrator was like
the staff was very like, or the principal at least was very much
like, OK, I know you're you still have 10 minutes of class.
Go back to class. Do not skip it.
You will get in trouble. And she's like, Oh my God,
because it's so embarrassing. Now she has to walk back into
class after everyone sees or gets pulled out and they're all
like, Oh my God, she just got arrested.
She's being sentenced to life. OMGI don't know 6th graders,
man, What can you say? So she gets back in class.
Everyone's eyes lock onto her as she walks back to her seat.
And she's just like, this is some BS, bro, this is
ridiculous. So when she walks back, there is
a locker search. And it's not just a locker
search of Olivia. Look, I understand the idea of
privacy, but school is not necessarily a private place,
right? You go to school and the I don't
think the school can search through your bag, but they can
look into your locker. And yeah, let's just say that
Sarah's purse was found, but it was found not.
It was not found in Olivia's locker because she didn't steal
it, because the locker search was not just done on Olivia's
locker, The locker search was done school wide.
Let me also say that the purse was not in Sarah's locker
either. I could definitely see how some
of you guys might have been thinking that Sarah just wanted
to stir up some controversy and drama and hide the hide her
purse in her own locker to make it seem like someone wanted her
purse so bad that they would go to the extent of stealing it.
Knowing Sarah's character, I definitely would not have put
that past her. But that is not what happened.
Because here's the thing. When Sarah was intentionally
flaunting and flexing her purse, she didn't only intentionally
flaunt and flex it to Olivia and other people that were near
Olivia. She flexed it to everyone and
she accidentally made someone so envious and so jealous that they
decided to steal it. And this person was one of the
last people that Sarah would have ever imagined.
So anyways, after class, Sarah's in this class too with Olivia,
and she's just looking at Olivia the whole time.
Like, I know you stole my purse or whatever.
So after class, Olivia, Sarah, and everyone walks out.
And who do they see? A bunch of administrators.
And who is with the administrators?
One of Sarah's close personal friends, Lily.
Sarah and Lily have had many sleepovers.
They sit together at the lunch table together, and when Olivia
walks out, she's very confused why they see why Lily's there.
The staff and administrators do not say anything to Olivia.
They do not say Olivia, I need you to stay with us.
I need you to stay for a second. I need to ask some questions.
None of that. They don't even acknowledge
Olivia's presence. But Olivia is going to get to
the bottom of this. So Olivia kind of, like,
pretends to do something, looks through her backpack, like is
pretending to tie her shoe, but is really just listening in on
the situation. So they say, Sarah, can you wait
here for a second? And she's like, OK.
And one of the administrators hands her hands her her purse.
And Sarah's like, oh, my God, thank you so much for finding
it. Where did you find it?
And they look at each other, and then they look back at Lily,
Sarah's close personal friend. And Sarah's kind of looking at
Lily, and she's kind of, like, thinking to herself, well, Lily
just happens to be here. I don't totally know why, but
why can't you guys tell me who it is?
And so Sarah says, oh, so wait, who took it?
Like who's locker did you find it in?
The administrators kind of look at each other and the principal
says Sarah, I think you and your friend Lily.
