chapter i. dreaming

"Hey everyone! It's Evangeline and today I'm going to do another video of me drawing your tweets. So I got my drawing-"

"Hello?" I pick up my phone from off of my coffee table and press it up against my ear.

"Is your fridge running?" I roll my eyes and hang up the phone, seeing a few Instagram notifications.

One in particular catches my eye and sends me into a major fangirling spasm.

* bryanstars has sent you a photo *

I unlock my phone as quickly as I can to see a picture of Bryan with the rest of My Digital Escape making me smile as I scroll down to see the message.

* you're evasaysrawr on youtube right? *

I quickly type back a yes and wait for the next message.

* good, good. so i wanted to know if you were up to lunch today? *

My eyes immediately widen, wondering how the Bryan Stars knew I even existed, let alone wanted to have lunch with me.

* sure, what time and where? *

* in n out and 12:30? I'm just finishing filming with Johnnie *

I reply with two 'yeps' and check the time to see that it's already almost 12.

I run across the hall, into my bedroom, pulling open my dresser drawers and picking out a Ghost Town shirt and a pair of ripped up, black skinny jeans to change into before grabbing my beanie and choker necklace.

-•-•-•-•-•-  

I walk into the fast food joint to see Bryan's giant poof of hair poke out from a booth.

"Eva!" I hear as I walk a bit further into the restaurant, followed by Bryan running up to me and giving me a short hug.

"Hi Bryan." I smile as he grabs my wrist and pulls me over to a booth... with the entire My Digital Escape gang and I'm pretty sure my jaw drops to the floor as I stand lifeless.

"Is she okay?" I see Kyle stand up a little bit with an unreadable expression playing upon his face.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." I smile a tad bit before Bryan lets go of my wrist, allowing me to sit down at the large table, "I'm gonna' go order my food." I point to the counter and I get a varied range of answers along with a few nods.

-•-•-•-•-•-  

"So Eva, we were talking as a group and we want to ask you if you'd like to be a part of My Digital Escape." I lift my head up from my meal as I hear those words roll off of Alex's tongue.

Me. Out of all people, they want me? Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing opportunity for me and to help give my personal channel a boost, but I honestly would've never expected my ultimate YouTube dream to come true. At least this early in my YouTube 'career'.

"You're being absolutely, 100% serious right now?"

"Of course." She reassures.

"Well, duh, of course I want to be a part of My Digital Escape!" I yell a little too loud, making my cheeks turn to a light shade of crimson.

"Hugs!" Johnnie yells loudly, standing up with his arms spread out wide.

-•-•-•-•-•-  

"Hey Evangeline!" Just as I'm heading out of the restaurant I hear Jordan yell my name as he motions me towards him.

"Yeah?"

"Here's the channel's password for YouTube, Instagram, all that good stuff."

"Thanks Jordan." I smile and take the piece of paper from his hands.

"The upload dates are also on the YouTube channel so the empty space is when you'd obviously upload as long as that's okay with you."

"Yeah, I'll just have to make sure that it doesn't interfere with my channel's uploads."

"And that also means that you kind of need to film your 'New Member' video today as well."

"Figured. I'll film it and stuff when I get home." I smile and hug him before leaving and waving to the rest of the group.

-•-•-•-•-•-  

"Hey Escapers!" I smile at my camera and give a little wave, "Well that's going to be weird to start saying." I laugh to myself. "I'm Evangeline, Eva, whatever you want to call me and I'm the seventh member of My Digital Escape!"

I go on talking about my personal channel and social medias before actually getting to the main topic I had decided on doing for the video. Five random facts about me. I list off weird things that only people on my personal channel would possibly know and I throw in an extra here or there, getting side-tracked only a little bit.

"And remember to have a fuckin' fantastic day you guys." I hold up a peace sign, placing my hand over the lens of the camera before turning it off.

Editing time! Woohoo! And yes, the sarcasm was very much intended.

-•-•-•-•-•-

"Eva, Eva, Eva wake up. You have school." I rub my eyes open to only end up getting my black makeup all over my hands.

"What time is it?" I ask in my groggy, morning voice which I always say makes me sound like a man.

"It's only 6. C'mon you gotta' get up."

"Fine." I groan, but obey my mother, who must've gotten home from her business trip early.

I slowly roll out of bed, noticing that my macbook and phone are on my bed along with a journal and pen. I turn on my phone to see that it's at 20% since I didn't charge it overnight. I quickly plug it into my bedside charger before checking the few notifications from twitter that I got. I quickly come to the conclusion that I was editing my MDE video before falling asleep, fully clothed with a choker on.

That can't be the best situation, can it. Falling asleep with a 'choker'. Good job Eva, good job.

Editing is fun they said. Yeah, okay, where is the lie at? I cannot find it, she says with the highest levels of sarcasm that her brain explodes.

I roam into the hallway, grabbing my off-white towel before heading into the bathroom and taking a shower. Afterwards, doing my makeup of course.

-•-•-•-•-•-

After a total of 30 minutes I spend on choosing what I want to wear, I finally decide upon a floral Nirvana shirt tucked into my black leather skirt. My pair of cross tights pairing well with my black creepers. I also add my choker necklace and my favorite bowler hat on top of my lilac hair. I snatch my macbook off of my bed and I place it gently in my studded backpack, grabbing my phone and earbuds before walking out of my room.

"Bye!" I yell to my mother as I walk out of the front door, scrolling through twitter as I get in my car.

My face lights up as I see the multiple congratulatory wishes from my fans, of which I absolutely adore. I also notice Jordan striked up another conversation with me via twitter.

* @evangelinerow good job on the first video 👌 *

* @jordansweeto thank you very much 😊 *

I turn off my phone and pull out of the driveway, in my small car.

Heigh ho! Heigh ho! It's off to school we go!
