Arrabella couldn't help herself; she was sat there for about an hour, just watching some of his videos. His videos mostly consisted of him vlogging days out with his friends and she felt a pang of jealously, he lived in a great location with a great circle of friends and family around him.

Probably only 3 or 4 but she already really respected this youtuber and couldn't get enough of him. Maybe she had the tiniest of crushes on him...  His charming personality that shone through in all of his videos, she had no idea if that was a persona he relied on for his views and it was only used then or if that was the true him. But that was always the mysteries and dangers of the internet. And his good looks were to blame also, probably the reason his fanbase was so big, everyone always goes on about how you shouldnt judge someone by their looks, but it happens all the time. It is impossible not to judge someone.

It took a while to muster up the confidence but she eventually clicked on the comment box and with shaky hands she started to write, writing something before hurriedly tapping the backspace button to delete the message and trying to think of a better and more unique comment to make her stand out from the crowd.

This was the first time she felt the urge to actually stand out, mostly she just conformed to everyone else's standards and stereotypes and just lived with those. If she blended in she wouldn't be picked on, that's what she thought but that changed when she started on Youtube, putting yourself out there for everyone to see was definitely unnerving.

With a sigh she simply typed the two words "great vlog" It was just so lame it was embarrassing but she reluctantly pressed the send button, it was the best she could come up with for now and she guessed it was better than nothing.

Lazily the youtuber she had just been watching scrolled through some comments, he was the one and only Dante Caracher. He was pretty famous in the youtube world; he had just under 2 million subscribers, and was quite a frequent vlogger. Not necessarily a daily vlogger;but uploading at least 4 times a week. He had to give the material to make his viewers happy.

He was bored as he scrolled through the comments on one of his newer vlogs and he frowned slightly as he saw the words "great vlogs" that meant she had seen more than one but he didnt recognise the name from anywhere but he responded with a grateful "thanks" before continuing with his bored scrolling.

He would have no idea how much Arrabella jumped when her laptop pinged to notify her of a comment or reply on youtube and how she practically dived onto her bed to find out what it was, it took her a few minutes to register that she had actually gotten a reply from him! she sat there dumbfounded before clicking the reply button.
