Cali woke up to the sound of her alarm. She sets her alarm for seven in the morning every day; she likes to get a good start on the day, so she usually showers, brushes her teeth, does her hair for the day, and gets dressed. It makes her feel like she's at least done something even if she is just going to lounge around all day. 

Cali was a full-time content creator. She was mostly active on twitch, but she started on YouTube. Her YouTube channel didn't have a strict set of guidelines for what she uploaded. She uploaded what she wanted to, and she was lucky to have decent views either way. Today, she was planning a vlog. She wasn't going to do much, probably her usual day routine. She'd make it more interesting for the camera, though.

Cali rolls out of bed and onto her feet. The house is silent, so she takes it the boys are asleep. She goes to her closet, which is a few racks and shelves on a wall - she gave up the room with a walk in closet for the one with a bathroom. She doesn't regret it. It was spring time, and the weather was nice. So she looked at her clothes and debated what to wear.  Once she decides, she goes and grabs her camera from the shelf it sits on. She pulls the lens cap off and hits record. Going back to the clothes, she films herself grabbing the outfit and brings it with her. She places the outfit on the counter by the sink, adjusting the camera to show herself as she washes her face using the products specifically for her skin She plans to put a voice over on her getting-ready parts of the video. She turns the shower on and makes sure to have a towel at the ready on the outer handle. She throws a peace sign to the camera before shutting it off so she can shower without recording. She can always edit it out, but she feels better with the camera off.

Cali is out of the shower and she is dressed, now. The camera is recording again. She uses a hair mask as she brushes her hair, which illuminates the curls. Her outfit is simple; A pair of jeans and a cropped tank-top. She just cares that it matches. She hadn't planned on doing her makeup today, and plans to explain it in the voice over. She puts clips in her hair above her ears so her hair is out of her face. Holding the camera, she leaves her room and films her feet as she creeps down the hall. She positions the camera in a cabinet in the kitchen, which catches her filling Karl's Cat's bowls. She talks to the camera, and herself;
"So- Uhh- Eggs? I guess? Yes. Yes eggs."

Her hands clap together as she goes into the fridge, pulling out a dozen eggs. she holds it up as she sings 'Circle Of Life' from The Lion King. 

She makes eggs - scrambled. She makes toast and small breakfast sausages to go with it. 

"I'm such a master chef."

After eating her breakfast, the boys were still not awake. She didn't really have content to record so she stopped filming for now. She washes the dishes she had dirtied and puts them to dry. A door opens down the hall as she's drying her hands. She doesn't bother seeing who it is as she looks around for something else to clean. With no avail, she grabs her camera and heads for the hall. However, she almost bumps into Alex. 
"Oh- Morning." Cali speaks, avoiding eye contact, hoping to just walk by. 
"Morning-.." Alex speaks as Cali walks around him. "Hey-" He calls, as like a 'wait a second'. Cali grips her camera, turning on her heel to look at Alex. "Are you alright?" He asks, concerned.
Cali doesn't speak. She smiles and nods and goes into her room. Closing the door behind her, she puts her camera on the shelf for now and flops onto her bed. She groans, and doesn't feel like getting back up. So instead, she rolls onto her back and pulls her phone from her back pocket. She decides to open twitter and scroll through her # to see what fans were up to. She likes some fan art of her and Karl, and continues to scroll for what only seems like a few minutes before spotting an advertisement for a fanfiction. She clicks the Wattpad link. It's her and--

There was a knock at her door, and she tosses her phone across the room and sits up. Her phone lands on a bean bag chair as the door opens. It's Karl.

"Do you want to come with us for filming?" Karl asks.

"Filming what?" Cali replies, fingers playing with her hair because she feels awkward for what she was looking at. 
"We're going to do a cooking vlog. For like, lunch. Or dinner." 
Cali thinks for a minute. She shrugs, "Sure."
