Chapter 5- Minx

We flying the first class

Up in the sky

Poppin' champagne

Livin' my life

In the fast lane

And I won't change

For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

The plane landed about fifteen minutes ago and I was still riding high over winning that pointless argument with Liz. When it landed I found a town car waiting for me with all of my bags being loaded into it. I was well on my way to my new home, the place I would inevitably be spending months at. Already, as I was cruising down the sunny flashy streets of LA I missed my little cottage. Everything in LA was flashy and new. I missed the old rustic feel of Cornwall, with its gardens and brick houses. Here everything was either plasticized or brightly colored. I was already fantasizing going back to my little cave and living a semi-normal life.

Though I knew that after this show my life wouldn't be normal like it was. My channel would get more exposure, and more exposure meant that I needed to be cautious more of the time. I sat in the backseat of the large black car, awkwardly trying to get comfortable with bags around me. I wondered what life would be like now. Would I be able to get used to cameras following my every move and everyone everywhere knowing what I looked like and who I was. The thought of being mobbed by a group of fans, even though they meant well, was particularly terrifying. Sure, I'd been recognized once or twice just by my voice but the thought of people knowing what I looked like just terrified me. I didn't know how the others did it.

 The car jerked suddenly, causing me to break out of my thoughts as one of my bags fell into my lap. I shook out my hair, disoriented. I was curious what had caused the sudden movement. What had happened? Suddenly my door was opened and a middle aged man held out his hand, presumably to help me out. I jumped, startled. Those horror games had really gotten to me. I blushed and accepted his hand, hopping out of the car. My mouth dropped open when I saw the spectacle before me. I was at the end of a huge driveway in front of what looked like a mansion. It was huge, with three floors and a huge yard. There was an ornate fountain and the smell of springtime.

 This couldn't be where I was going to stay. It was so huge, so utterly much. I blinked in the midst of my wide eyed stare at the driver and he chuckled. "Never seen a house this big have you?" I shook my head and smiled. "I can't say I have." He smiled warmly at me. "Ah, a Brit, welcome." I smiled kindly. "Thank you sir."  He began unloading my bags and I shook my head. "You don't have to do that." He paused and looked at me. "Don't be so modest. This is my job, and you should be used to it. You must be one of them fancy YouTubers. Though I don't say I recognize you. I have a daughter who watches a lot of YouTube. She was practically salivating when I told her what my job was today." I laughed. "She sounds nice. But there's a reason you don't recognize me. I've never shown my face before. My name is Minx."

His eyes widened with recognition. "Oh I do know you. My daughter loves you." I smiled at him. "Tell her hello then. I insist." He smiled. "You know Minx, you're not like most people out here, all shallow. You see to care about your fans." I bit my lip. "I guess I do then." We arrived at the door and were quickly ushered in by a frantic looking maid. The driver tipped his head. "I'll be going now. See you around Minx." I smiled and called out as he walked away. "It was lovely to meet you. The room had huge ceilings and an exquisite staircase. There looked to be nothing out of place at all. The maid smiled at me and took my bags up the stairs. Oh well, I'd see them later.

I looked around in awe and decided to explore. I walked into the first room on the right of the foyer, which was a large den with leather couches and a huge television. There were five guys huddled on the couch facing the television and looked to be playing Super Smash Bros. I silently creeped over there, hoping that I knew them. They were staring intently at the screen, almost as if in their own bubbles. Not for long, I thought. I stood right behind the couch and yelled out. "SURPRISE!" They each yelled and jumped into the air almost simultaneously. I saw them clearly now. It was Ken, Felix, Cry, Dlive, and Anthony Padilla, whom I had never had the chance to meet. Felix began laughing. "REALLY? I was just about to win." Ken laughed. "Sure you were." Ken, Dlive, and Felix enveloped me in a bear hug and I smiled. It felt like I was home.

 Cry stood up and walked cautiously towards me. "And who might this be?" I laughed out loud. "What do you mean who am I? Don't you recognize the trademarked laugh?" Cry's eyes widened. "Minx? Hey, I didn't recognize you. Nice to finally meet." He hugged me too and I got a chance to study him. He had sandy hair and blue eyes. His smile was adorable, one of a child meeting Santa for the first time. I smiled at Anthony, who was still sitting, as if not sure what to do. I laughed and held out my hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Minx. I love your work." He smiled and shook my hand. "Thanks." Felix practically dragged me to the couch. "You've got to play a round!" I got up and shook my head. "They'll be plenty of time for that. I want to explore a little more, see what this place has to offer."

They called their goodbyes and as I exited the room I already heard Felix cursing, just like the good old days. God, I sounded old. I walked into the adjacent room and heard the familiar noises of girls chatting, which I never did, or was never invited to do. I coughed and they turned around. One was Marzia, and one I didn't recognize. Marzia squealed and ran over to me. She hugged me. "Oh my gosh Minx I'm so glad you're here. This place is great." The other girl calmly walked up to us. She was curvy and gorgeous. She smiled. "HI, I'm Mary. Ken's girlfriend." I'd heard of her. I smiled and hugged her. "Lovely to meet you." She laughed. "Love the accent, almost like mine. Australian." I definitely identified Australian in her voice. Marzia cut in. "Minx I'm so glad you're here. We need your help with our argument. What's bigger for spring, flower crowns or statement necklaces?" I shook my head. "You should know by now, Marzia, I don't really do fashion." Marzia laughed. "Silly me. Oh well, we'll figure it out ourselves."

 I nodded at them and walked to the next door which was closed. I opened it and realized it was to a basement. Creepy. I carefully walked my clumsy self-down the stairs and heard mumbling. The basement was eerie and it looked like somebody had already taken up shop here. The person turned around, and their eyes widened. "Welcome to my cave of terror. No girls allowed!" I laughed. It was only Mark. I hadn't talked to him in a while and I missed him. I decided to play along. "I'm a lesbian, Mark. Can I be an honorary guy?" He shrugged. "Whatevs. I know exactly what we'll call you." I raised an eyebrow. "And what would that be?" He smirked. "The scoundrel, the lesbian, the one-hit wonder!" I had to laugh at that. "Nice job Mark." He nodded and waved his arms. "Love this place, perfect for horror." I laughed. "I was thinking the same thing. Let's keep this place between you and me." He nodded and smirked devilishly. "Deal."

I walked up the basement stairs to the main stairs. They were so shiny I almost didn't want to walk on the. I started walking up the elegant staircase and saw about five rooms up there. Mine might be on this floor. I started walking and, not paying attention, ran into something. I fell and heard it fall too. And then it giggled, objects don't giggle. I settled my glasses and looked at the cause of my fall. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, and she was giggling. "Nice one." I just stared. She had tan skin and silky black hair. She looked at me and I almost gasped. One of her eyes was brown but the other sparkled bright crimson. I didn't know who this was, but I intended to find out.
