How I cope || Wilbur Soot

Chapter 10~ our tour guide

We finally got to the venue Tommys vlog was being filmed at, I hesitated to get out until Madison opened my door. "You alright Kenz?" She gave me a sympathetic smile as she pulled me into a hug.

"Yeah I'm fine." I smiled back at her, I wasn't going to ruin anyones day from now on forward.

Wilbur lead us in so I assumed he had been here before. As we entered, there we're 7 boys and 1 girl sat in some sort of circle.

"YOU'RE HERE!" Tommy jumped up from his seat running to give both Wilbur and I a hug. Tommys energy made me feel a bit better, just being around a positive atmosphere.

"I hope you're alright Mackenzie." He whispered to me as I hugged him back, a slight smile across my face at his words.

"Thank you Tommy." I replied as we broke the hug. I only knew two of the seven boys, that being Tommy and Phil. Madison sat by the cameras as she was never one that really wanted to be 'popular' in any way and being on a popular YouTube channel wouldn't help her with that.

"So Mackenzie, let me introduce you to everyone, this is Tubbo..." Wilbur began going up to one person at a time. He first went up to a shorter boy with longish, brown hair who looked about Tommys age.

"You can call me Toby if you'd like." He spoke standing up and putting his hand out to me. He was slightly shorter than me. I shook his hand giving him a slight gently smile.

"This is Ranboo..." Wilbur moved to the boy next to Tubbo. He was wearing a black and white mask but I could still tell he was smiling as he stood up to shake my hand. I was surprised when he turned out to be even taller than Wilbur but I shook his hand smiling back at him.

"It's nice to meet you." He spoke through the mask before he went back to speaking to Tubbo. Unexpectedly he had an American accent, which at first shocked me a bit.

"Then this is Billzo..." he referred to the boy who sat next to Ranboo. He had longer hair with a bandana wrapped around it. I smiled shaking his hand.

"This is Freddie, also known as Badlinu." Wilbur spoke again point to another tall brunette boy. I smiled shaking his hand too before Wilbur but spoke again.

"This is Jack." He moved to the last boy. He was about the same height as me as I shook his hand.

"It's a pleasure." He spoke, I smiled and nodded in return. I don't know why but I felt shy. I was never this shy but now.. I was?

"And finally, this is Nikki." He moved to the only other girl, instead of shaking my hand she stood up and pulled me into a small hug. She was slightly shorter than me and had short, pink hair.

"And everyone, this is Mackenzie!" Tommy finished causing me to laugh slightly and shake my head at him.

"Tommy we should get started, yeah?" Another man came out of nowhere. I knew I was going to get names mixed up today.

"That's Russ." Wilbur whispered seeing the confused look on my face. I chuckled slightly and nodded before letting out another shaky sigh.

"Hey, you'll be alright." Wilbur assured nudging me in the side slightly. I smiled up at him before we were all asked to gather round. This whole experience was very new to me.

I couldn't help but hold back a smile as Tommy explained that we were recording a vlog where we go around London doing a try not the laugh challenge in the most random places. He mostly explained for my sake as I didn't actually know what we were doing to start with.

"Mackenzie you have a choice..." Tommy began as I gave him a concerned look, having no clue what he was about to say. "You can take part or you can be the our personal tour guide. If you really want to you can do both." He explained as I thought for a second, chuckling at his offers.

"I think I can be your personal tour guide, I know a lot of random places around here." I chose as he nodded in response. I think this is going to be a lot more fun than I thought.

"So, as you're our tour guide now Mackenzie... where to first?" Tommy asked as I just thought for a second before I had an idea. Russ was carrying a bag full of bottles of water whereas everyone else was holding a chair. Madison was tagging along, staying behind the camera.

"Follow me!" I smirked as I headed towards the exit. My energy wasn't necessarily high yet but I was very excited.

"You didn't answer my question!" Tommy shouted over at me as we walked down the streets of London. I was taking them to the quietest park I knew of. I always went there as a kid, so why not go there now?

"We're going to the park!" I shouted back at him as I picked up my pace, beginning to run down the street, meaning all the others had to run with me, including Madison.

"We haven't even started recording yet and this girls making us put in all of this energy!" Ranboo laughed, obviously joking but I decided to say something back anyway.

"This girl?" I questioned as I laughed myself, he started stuttering over words in an attempt to defend himself. "Chill! I'm joking! Some Americans dude!" I joked as he just shook his head at me, both of us laughing.

"Where exactly is this park?" Tommy questioned me as I just gave him an amused look. Tommy was one for complaining.

"What can I do to make you stop complaining?" I ignored his question and questioned him back as he just sighed.

"Make this journey quicker!" He answered I laughed knowing he would regret saying that in a few seconds.

"If you insist!" I shrugged before picking up my pace again so I was now sprinting down the street towards the park which by now wasn't far at all.

"TOMMY!" I heard them all groan in annoyance which just made me laugh again. I even heard Madison complain.
