The Science of Vlogging

Chapter 3

Arrabellas heart skipped a beat as she typed in her message, she couldn't believe he had read her comment! HER COMMENT! Out of all the thousands that were probably there, he read and replied to her comment!

With a breathless laugh, she shook her head at herself. It was so silly to be so excited about this but yet she was and she pressed the reply button, once it had sent she glanced it over for any mistakes. But no, it looked good. She hadn't seemed to embarrass herself like she had proved in the past that she was good at.

'sorry, that post must seem so generic and expected for you. I am kinda new to vlogging myself'

She had apologised while also sneaking in the much-hated self-advertisement but it wasn't meant for advertisement, she wanted him to know they had something in common. Something that would peak his interest and continue their conversation.

Arrabella bit her lip, she couldn't believe how quickly her heart was palpitating, she felt like it was working so fast, too fast. This was all for some guy she had seen online, she didn't know him, this was stupid.

But it was the fact she didn't know him that made her like him all the more, he couldn't see how weak and vulnerable she was, the internet acted like a big shield. She could be herself without fearing judgement too much, she could put herself out on the line and risk something she wouldnt if he could see her or touch her. If he was with her that very moment.

A ping startled her from her daydreaming and she quickly looked down at her laptop.

'Nah it's not that common. You make videos? I'll check them out :)'

 Her startling icy blue eyes swiftly scanning over the message, reading it a few times to make sure she knew what it said. It stuck out like a sore thumb. He was going to go to her channel and watch her videos. This could change everything, with his influence behinds things, she wouldn't be unknown for much longer.

With shaky hands, and slightly sweaty palms she quickly typed back a thank you before shutting her laptop. She was curious as to what video he would pick, what he would think and in response what he would do  after that.

Focusing on calming her breathing so she didn't go into one of her rare but serious panic attacks, she listened to the steady sound of the 'tick..tock..tick..tock' belonging to the clock and her heart rates eventually dropped to normal as she sat there in suspense. 

Waiting.

Waiting for something that could change her life
