I shifted in my chair, putting the headphones on. "Are you alright?" I looked to the side and nodded. "Yeah, peachy." Freezy smiled before nodding at Chip. "Well, let's do this then." Wrapping his hand around the microphone, Freezy leaned forward. "Welcome back to the fellas!" Chip and I started cheering. "Before we tell you about the drama that's been going on, let's welcome our guest!" Both of them held their hands up whilst I smiled at the camera in front of me. "Joan DuMaire!" Even some of the crew started to cheer, making me blush. "Shut up." I motioned for them to quiet down, which they did.

"Hello Joan, welcome to the fellas." I smiled at Chip. "Thanks for having me guys. Can't believe it." We all started to chuckle a little. "Well, as most of you already know, Joan is the newest addition to our friend group." I couldn't help but smile even brighter at Chips words. "But why don't you tell us how you ended up here?" Laughing a little, I shiftes on the seat, pulling my legs up. "I met Chip and Chris about two months ago. After that they introduced me to the rest of the group. Thanks to Harry, I met the Sidemen. Since then I've been not only working for and with them, I've been also growing on social media." Raising his eyebrows, Freezy nodded. "Getting bigger than us." I laughed, shrugging a little. "Wasn't too hard." Chip scoffed. "Yeah, well, you can't compare modeling to being a youtuber." I rolled my eyes. Some companies contacted me a few days ago to model for them. Nothing big, just some small clothing brands. But it was a good way to earn more money. "Yeah, well, your videos still get more views with me in the thumbnail, don't they?" I wrapped my hand around the microphone and leaned against the armrest.

"Talking about thumbnails! I've seen some pictures of the next sidemen sunday." Freezy quickly changed the subject to which I nodded. "Yeah, that was fun." He smiled. "Can you tell us anything about it?" I had to take in a deep breath, trying not to blow my cover. Looking to the side I saw Harry behind the camera with a big smile. "Well, I've been single for a long time now, so they thought it would be a smart idea to put me on the spot I guess." Chip and Cal laughed. "Didn't you have a boyfriend like a month ago?" I shook my head. "Well, I guess that was just a confusing situation. Kelce is my best friend, but people started saying we were dating." Cal looked at me, knowing exactly that I was trying to keep my best friend out of this. "Did any of the guys catch your eye?" Shrugged, I leaned forward to take the beer. "I don't kiss and tell."

'Oh's' went through the room, making me smirk. If any of the viewers knew what was actually going on, they'd understand that reaction. "I've seen a few clips on TikTok of the cheap versus expensive video." I leaned back into the chair. "Yeah?" He nodded, picking up his phone. "This one for example." I looked at the screen to see me dancing with the guys. "Oh yeah, that was fun. We were so peppered." Chip grinned. "Well, you definitely were." I nodded. "Can't blame
me, can you? It was a pretty hard day of work." Cal put his phone back. "Now, I guess you've probably already seen some of the comments." I laughed, nodding. He was referring to Harry and I. Even with trying, the editors weren't able to cut every clip of Harry and I being close. "But you're saying you're single, right?" I took in a deep breath and nodded again. "Yes sir." I glanced over to Harry who was uncomfortably shifting on his seat whilst taking a bite of the subway sandwich I brought for everyone.

"How about we read some of the comments and you explain yourself. If you can't answer or won't, you take a shot."

We started to laugh and I couldn't help but look at Harry again. He was just as much part of this as I was. "Sure, hit me." Cal reached for a bottle from below the table, placing it on the table right next to three shot glasses which I haven't noticed before. "First comment; Harry's bed was literally untouched and he's usually sleeping till midday after getting drunk. What's up with that?" I grinned a little, recalling the night. Harry chuckled a little making all of us look at him. "Well, I don't really know. I was sleeping whilst the other three were drinking. Only thing I remember was that I had a bad headache. But maybe Harry didn't drink that much?" I responded, trying my best not to blur anything out that's not meant for the viewers ears.
