Sudden fame
1304 Words
snooze... I just have to hit snooze one more time. You lift your head, reach for your phone, and glance at the time. Shit... I'm going to be late for school. Yes I do still go to school... Only not my old school. I go to Max his highschool! Last night's vlogging attempt is completely forgotten as you stand in front of your closet. Will it be an I forgot to do the laundry or I'm so fabulous it's ridiculous kind of day? Fabulous for sure. I mean I just went shopping the other day. I grab my black high waist jeans and the black bralette. I take my black heels And I race to the bathroom to do my make up. I should get a world record for doing my make up. I have lightly shaped my face and putted on some highlighter. I putted on a dark red lipstick and took my sunglasses and my over sized denim jacket and run downstairs. "DAMN GIRL! you look smoking hot!" Max screams. I smile and turn a round. "Well thank you very much sir, you look quiet stunning yourself if I may say so." I grab my school back and the car keys. "We should go Max before we're late." Max nods.
We've made it to school, with a few minutes to spare before class start. Jeremy is waiting or us to catch up with him. "Hi! Wow you look gorgeous today!" Jeremy says while spinning me around."Thanks hun! you too." "You really should wear this outfit more often. It really suits you." "Aww, you think?" "Definitely!"
"Thanks you're the best!" I say as I hug Jeremy. "Hey and what about me?" Max says with a sad face. "Ofcourse you too. And you know that." but nothing beats a morning compliment.
When you get home from school you let yourself fall on the bed. Time to put on some music, chill, watch the latest YouTube... WAIT. BACK UP. My vlog. OMG! I totally forgot about my vlog. Also known as my miserable attempt at entertaining the world with my f****d up life story. "Whoa! Happy thoughts. We're supposed to be concentrating on HAPPY thoughts." My wolf interrupts me. "Am I being to hard on us? no no don't answer that I'm just being reasonable." I answer back. what if someone I know watches the vlog... or worse... What if Jace watched the vlog... I'll just put myself out of my misery and delete it. No harm done, right? Just as you pick up your phone, a text message notification comes through. It's Dean. Dean is the cute new guy from school. He's from LA, he's not a werewolf and all the girls are drooling over him.
"Hey!" Dean starts.
"Hey!"
"What are you up to?"
"Just chilling. what about you?"
"I was thinking."
"About?"
"How amazing you are."
"Aww really?"
"Yes and don't get me wrong but I've been googling you."
"Found something interesting?"
"Your vlog."
WTF!??!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
You quickly open your YouTube channel and see that your vlog got a grand total of 3 views.
Fuck. Dean saw my vlog...
"What did you think?"
"It's great!"
"Thanks..."
"I'm serious. You've got talent."
" I do?"
"I can't wait for the next upload."
Okay, it's not a worldwide hit, and the three views is probably all from Dean, but if he likes it... then I'm happy I had the guts to do it.
"Remember to hit that subscribe button!"
I try to laugh it off.
"Done."
That was actually a joke. But okay... My first subscriber.
I'm grateful for having one hot subscriber who thinks I have talent. Yay!

next day at school
---------------------------------------
You, Max and Jeremy are catching up as all of the sudden you get disturbed.
"Hi, Bella?"
A terribly excited girl, who's never spoken to you in the entire year you're here is standing in front of you.
"Uh... yeah, that's me."
"Hi! I'm Eva!
"I know you"re Eva. I've seen you around."
"Hi Hun can we help you?" Max says to the girl.
"Yeah! Can I take a selfie with you, Bella?"
"With me?" I'm so confused right now. What is happening.
"Yes! I'm a total fan!"
"Fan of what?"
"Of you, silly! You're so humble!"
"Humble?" Can this day gets any weirder?
"And funny, just like your vlog! I can't believe I've never noticed it before."
you mean never noticed ME before. Wait, did she say my vlog??
"It's so cool that we've got a celebrity in our school. Yay! You're like total life goals. hopefully I'll be as famous as you one day."
You scan the school rounds.
Are hidden cameras easy to spot? I guess the clue lies in the word within.
"You're so sweet, Eva. I'm glad you enjoyed my vlog."
I guess all three views weren't from Dean.
"I loved it!" Eva looks as happy as a little kid in a candy store who can take all the candies that she wants.
"But I wouldn't call myself a celebrity."
"Yeah, that's exaggerating." Jeremy interrupts.
"My vlog only has like three views."
"It barely made a blip on the radar. No offence, Bella."
You told Max and Jeremy about the vlog and how you felt so stupid for making it. They told you to stop stressing because no one would even know it exists. No one except them and Dean, of course.
I guess she was wrong.
"Uh... NO. You've got like hundreds of thousands of views."
"Come again?"
"Let me check" Max takes his phone out of his pocket.
the seconds drag by as he opens your channel.
"Uh... You might want to look at this."
You take his phone and look at your views.
"WTF? 300k? But that's impossible!
"Yeah, you're like an overnight success. Thanks to MaiPhammy!
"MaiPhammy? The famous vlogger MaiPhammy?
Only my all time favorite vlogger of all times.
"I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a clue who I am."
"She mentioned you in her latest vlog."
"She what?"
Max grabs his phone back.
"Your comment section is flooded.
"Is it bad?"
He scrolls up and down, and then starts reading out loud.
"So glad I found your channel. XOXO"
"Just got here for MaiPhammy's channel. You're just as awesome as she said. Love ya!"
"You're officially like my favorite human being ever!"
"Thanks for keeping it real. I love your sense of humor!"
Is this a prank, it's an elaborate one. I'm about to die.
Max and Jeremy both look just as shocked as you.
"wow" Jeremy blurts out.
"What the actual f**k?"
"Told you so! So, ready for that selfie?"
Eva leans into you, about to take her shot.
You smile. Eva takes the shot and checks the picture.
"Love it! Thanks! Please tell me you're going to Shane's party tonight?"
"Yeah, we're going."
"Cool! I'll see you there! Ciao guys!
Eva trots off, leaving you, Max and Jeremy staring wide eyed at each other.
A bit later you and Max his mom are in the parking lot at the local supermarket. You're busy loading the shopping bags into the trunk of the car.
"Oh honey, thank you so much for your help."
"No problem"
You reach for the last bag, which is particularly heavy. "What's in there? Bricks?"
"Don't be silly. It's the mineral water."
You misjudged how heavy the nag would be, and put it down for a sec.
Before you can reach for it again, Dean suddenly picks it up.
Whoa! where did he come from?
"Let me do that for you."
He puts the bag away, closes the trunk, and shoots both of you and Max his mom a beaming smile.
"Our knight in shining armour." Max his mom smiles.
"Thank you. I'll take that compliment."
"What are you doing here?"
"Ehm... doing groceries. It's a supermarket"
really did I had to ask such a dumb question?
"Uh... right."
"It's not every day that a handsome young man comes to our rescue." Max his mom continues.
"You never told me you had such a good looking friend, Bells"
Here we go...
"And so well mannered too."
"Thank you. I'm Dean by the way."
"You can call me Dina. I so enjoy meeting all of Bella's friends."
"Yeah, thanks for helping us out, Dean. Let's chat soon?"
The quicker I say my goodbyes, the less chances of Dina embarrassing me.
"what are you doing tonight?"
"Oh we have a house party, wanna join?"
"I'll pick you up at seven?"
"Sure."
"Then it's a date."
