Virtual Kisses

Chapter 1: "Hey Guys It's Indie!"

I stared at the computer screen, the buzz circling the air around me. I couldn't believe it. I had just hit 1000 subscribers on YouTube. ONE THOUSAND! Ok, it doesn't compare to 7 million like Bethany Mota, but it's good enough for me.

I have been sitting in this exact position for the last hour waiting for the 999 to flick over to the big 1000. My neck has stiffened and my legs are cramped but it's all good because I just hit the old one o, o, o, and I can easily just stretch them out in a heartbeat.

I slowly stand up from my chair, my knees cracking, and slide down into the splits. "Ahhhhh, that feels better!" I sigh aloud.

"Oh! I should make a video thanking everyone!" I hop up and grab my iPad mini, steadily leaning it on my window at an angle that will capture the top half of my body in the frame.

It is a beautiful day for filming. The suns strokes were shining right through my window, highlighting my face perfectly whilst giving a clear background and great overall quality.

I sit down on the edge of my bed and press record.

"Hey guys, it's Indie!" I wave to the iPad.

"I just wanted to make a quick video thanking you for one thousand subs! It is so awesome to know people actually watch my videos and most of all, enjoy them! So thankyou! I'm sure I'll watch this back in a few years, squirming at how lame I was, but I guess you have got to start somewhere! Um, so, I guess I will see you in my next video! Bye! Mwah!" I blew a kiss to the screen and then pressed stop.

Wow, I am lame.

"Indianah! Are you in there?" A voice called from outside my room.

Crap.

"Coming mum!" I snatched my iPad and rolled across my bed, all whilst exiting 'Camera' and then opening my bedroom door.

"Hi mum!" I grinned, maybe a bit too widely.

"Hi honey, is everything alright? You've been in there a while," she asked, peering through my door.

"Everything's fine! I was just face timing Ashlee! You know she can blab on, haha!" I lied, laughing.

My mum smiled, and went to turn away. "You know, listening to her mouth for too long could cause you to need therapy!" She chuckled, and with that she left.

Phew, another close one.

Also, my mum loves Ashlee if your wondering, but she can be a little bit of a handful sometimes!

A loud knock echoed up the stairs and all I could hear was giggling.

Ashlee and Samantha.

Speak of the devil.

I race downstairs and swing open the front door.

"INDIANAH!" They squeal, squeezing me tightly in a hug. I coughed and pushed them off me, heaving.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"Is it illegal?" Sam smirked.

"No."

"Damn."

"Oh shut up Sam! The REAL reason we are here, is because it's a sunny day and we have beaches across the road. SO LETS GET OUR TAN ON!" Ashlee exclaimed, pulling my arm and dragging me upstairs.

I quickly put on my bikini and gathered all of my necessities into my beach bag: a towel, my iPad, sunscreen, money, a water bottle, a hat and a cool pair of sunnies.

"See you mum! See you dad! Off to the beach!" I closed the door and ran to catch up with Ashlee and Sam who were already sprinting across the road.
