Past the Lens [Larry Stylinson]

Chapter One

[ LOUIS' POV ]

"Hi! How are all my lovely people doing today?!" I shouted into the camera in front of me.

-------

Yes. I know what you're thinking: I am a YouTuber. I have over 800,000 subscribers but I don't like to brag about it because I hate how those fake losers just want to be my friend because I'm "famous." But to be honest, I never considered myself famous because I'm still who I used to be, except now, I just put portions of my life on the Internet.

The only person I have told at school is my best mate Niall. We have been friends ever since grade 3, when he first moved here to Doncaster from Ireland. And since we tell each other everything, and yes I mean everything, he's more than just a mate; he's like the brother I never had. This was the reason why I have decided to bring him along with me to VidCon, which is a huge YouTube event in California.

-------

I woke up a little bit earlier than usual because I texted Niall yesterday night telling him that I had something urgent to tell him. And that news is about asking him if he wanted to go to VidCon with me.

I quickly took a shower and put on my usual outfit: a white tee, black super skinny jeans, and a pair of black&white Vans. Then I quickly went back into the bathroom and styled my hair into a messy quiff. When I'm finally satisfied with how it looked, I left the house.

I drove the short distance to school and then I rushed out to the confused-looking lad waiting for me outside of school.

"Hey Nialler!" I said to the Irish lad, chuckling.

"What's up, Tommo? Why couldn't you tell me through the phone?" Niall asked with furrowed eyebrows, slightly concerned.

"Because it's too important. Duh!" I sassed him while laughing. This boy gets worried too easily.

"Yeah sure, whatever," he chuckled.

"But yeah, I wanted to ask you if you would like to come to VidCon with me? We'll get to miss school." I wiggled my eyebrow as I said the last part. We both hated school with a passion. It's a nasty place filled with wannabes and hoes. And don't even get me started on the stuff they call "food."

"OF COURSE MATE! You know I wouldn't miss out the chance to see Zoella," Niall said with so much fond. He's had a major crush on her ever since 3 years ago, but he's never seen her in person. This is both our first year going to Vidcon, so I'm just as excited to see her as him. Well maybe not because I don't have a crush on her haha.

"Louis ? You alright, mate? You zoned out." There we go again with worried Niall.

"Yeah, yeah. I was just thinking about how you can't stop drooling whenever you talk about Zoe." We both laughed as we headed to class.

-------

"I CAN'T WAIT, LOUIS. CALIIIIIII !" Niall shrieked as we're eating what the school likes to call "lunch."

"I know! Maybe I'll end up meeting Joey Graceffa. Then we collab and he'll fall in love with me!" I said lovingly as I daydream about the possibilities. Yeah, that's right, I'm openly gay and I don't care what people think; I can like whoever I want.

"Pshhh. Yeah, right," Niall whispered while crushing my dreams, but I heard him.

"HEY! At least I am a YouTuber so I have a better chance at meeting him then you meeting Zoella," I smirked and took a bite out of my slice of pizza since I'm really hungry.

Niall didn't respond and ate his own packed lunch, a hamburger, as I looked at him smugly, knowing I was right.

When lunch ended, I headed off to art class. I was never really good at drawing but I didn't know what visual art class to take, so why not choose a class where I can draw random penises on people's artwork when they're not looking. That's basically the only part of class I enjoy. Yikesssss.

I entered class and took a seat next to my other best mate, Zayn. People always think he's a mysterious lad, but when you really get to know him, he's actually a sweet guy. And quite frankly, he's good at art so he usually helps me.

"Hey Zaynie!" I said as I took my seat next to him.

He didn't look up since he was already working on the project we got assigned last class, but he replied "hey mate."

"Are you going to VidCon this year?" No, Zayn is not a YouTuber but he likes to go to Vidcon every year just because he's secretly a huge fangirl of Zoella. She's so beautiful and her hair is gorgeous. She can look good in anything and I mean literally anything. OH MY GOODNESS. She is queen!..... I thought about his last conversation with Niall and shiver as I remember their heart eyes just thinking about her. He and Niall would talk about her all the time whenever we hang out, so the news about me being a YouTuber slipped out of Niall's mouth. Hopefully they're the only ones at school who knows.....

"Of course, dude. I wouldn't miss my chance to see Zoella," he chuckled, distracting me from my thinking.

"That's exactly what Niall said too," I laughed. 

Then class started, but since I didn't really care about grades, I just sat there daydreaming about meeting Joey and carelessly doodling. When I looked on my paper I saw that I drew a lot of penises.....nice.
