Unspoken Connections

Chapter 3: Out With Friends

I stormed into my bedroom, fuming to see that the maids were still working on cleaning up the mess. They froze, terrified, as I glared at them.

"What is taking you all so long?" I scolded harshly. "I told you to have this cleaned up hours ago! You're all so incompetent and slow. I HAVE TO VLOG!"

The maids cowered before me, trying to stammer out explanations, but I cut them off with a scathing wave of my hand.

"I don't want to hear it. You're all useless!" I spat. "Now get over here and put my socks and shoes on, since you can't seem to do anything right."

Trembling, the maids hurried to obey, kneeling down to carefully slide my socks and slip my feet into my shoes. I glared at them the entire time, my lip curled in disgust.

"Hurry up!" I barked. "You're so painfully slow. It's pathetic."

Once they were done, I stood up abruptly, causing them to scramble backwards.

"Get out, all of you!" I screamed. "You're fired! I never want to see your useless faces in my house again!"

The maids fled the room in terror, leaving me alone. I fumed, clenching my fists. How dare they keep failing me like this. They were lucky I hadn't done worse to them. They deserved every bit of my rage for their incompetence.

I turn on my camera and give a big smile to the lens. "Hey guys, welcome back to my channel! Today I'm so excited to give you a full tour of my beautiful bedroom. This has been my dream room for so long and I've put a lot of work into making it look perfect."

I stand up and pan the camera around, showing off the spacious layout and cozy decor. "As you can see, I have this huge king-sized bed with the comfiest sheets and pillows. I love how the soft gray color looks against the white walls. And over here I have my massive walk-in closet, filled with all my favorite outfits."

I move the camera closer to my desk area. "This is where I spend a lot of my time - my dedicated filming and workstation. I've got my ring light, my high-quality camera, and all my filming equipment set up perfectly. It's the ideal spot to film videos for you guys."

I pause and glance down at the camera. "Okay, I think that about covers the main tour. What do you all think? Isn't my room just absolutely beautiful?" I smile widely. "I'm so happy with how it's turned out. Alright, let me go ahead and wrap this up. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button if you're new around here! I'll talk to you all again soon. Bye!"

I turn off the camera. Perfect, that should make for a great vlog. Let me check in on how it's doing...

I open up my YouTube analytics and see that the video already has over 3.3 million views! I grin and switch over to my Instagram, seeing that I now have over 1 million followers. The comments are flooding in, with everyone raving about how amazing my latest photo looks. This is amazing, I can't believe how much support I'm getting! I'm so grateful to have such an awesome audience.

Just then, my phone starts ringing. I see it's my friend Cheska calling. "Hey Cheska, what's up?"

"Girl, you have to come to this party tonight!" Cheska says excitedly. "My parents aren't going to be home and everyone is going to be there. It's gonna be epic!"

I glance around my beautifully decorated room. "A party, huh? Well, my parents aren't going to be home until tomorrow either..." I consider it for a moment. "Alright, why not? I'll be there!"

"Great, I'll text you the address! The party starts at 8, so I'll see you there," Cheska says before hanging up.

I look around my room one more time, admiring how gorgeous it turned out. With my parents away, this is the perfect opportunity to have some fun. I quickly change into a cute going-out outfit and head out the door, locking up behind me.
