It was good to be back and see all my friends again. At lunch, we all (and by we, I mean my close friends and loads of other people I was good friends with and even people I didn't know very well) sat on the sloping part of the field where it almost became a hill. There were multiple conversations going on at once, but I was sat in a semi circle with all of my close friends, discussing what we did over the summer.
"I still can believe you were adopted by youtubers and haven't even made a YouTube channel yet!" Jai said.
Jai has messy black hair that wasn't long but wasn't short at the same time. His eyes were a piercing emerald green and he was quite pale (We do live in England) and slightly taller than me. He kind of looks like how I used to picture Harry Potter, before I saw the movies. He looks very different from 11 year old Daniel Radcliffe.
"I've decided I'm going to make one, but I'm not sure what to name it."
"You could go with your name." suggested Chloe.
"Hmm. Im not sure if I'd rather go with something more... memorable." I reply.
"How about only using your first name," replied Alexa.
"Just Aria?" I questioned.
"I like it." Felicity, Florence's twin, agreed.
"Okay then, Aria it is."

As soon as I got back home, I asked Zoe and Alfie if this was fine with them. They it was fine. In fact, they were really excited and set up the equipment in my newly decorated room as I redid my makeup and changed in Zoe's room. They even offered to tweet about my new video and mention my channel in their next blog.
I carefully used two different shades of gold eyeshadows to give myself glittery eyes after applying foundation only for the video. I then used my favourite mascara from Benefit on my lashes and created a wing using black eyeliner. I redid my brows, contoured, highlighted and applied blush to my cheeks and finally painted my lips a simple nude pink. I styled my hair in tight curls then pinned my fringe back before changing into a white T-shirt with an Aztec print poncho on top and black skinny jeans.
I went back into my room to see that Zoe had left. Alfie quickly showed me how to use the camera and help my adjust the tripod before wishing me luck and leaving. I quickly went over what I was going to say in my head.
I sat down, took a big breath and pressed record.
