"Wait, Elle, you knew?" I asked. Elle toyed with her phone as we talked. I was telling her all the details from the barbecue last night, since she wasn't able to make it. I was asking her about Sam and Kian's YouTube. Sam explained it to me before, but I wanted to know more. I was curious. Elle looked over at me.
"Yeah, of course. Everyone knew," Elle said with a small shrug. I still looked at her confused. How did 'everyone' know about their YouTube channel, but me? I was literally so behind on everything that has happened while I was gone. I've been trying to put the pieces together on my own, but that hasn't really been working out for me.
"What do mean 'everyone'?" As usual, nothing made sense to me. I was hopeless. It's like trying to fit a square block into a round hole. No matter how many times you try, it just won't go through me. Elle sat at the edge of my bed, while I sat, knees drawn to my chest, against the headboard.
"Everyone at school. And I mean EVERYONE. They got picked on a lot for making videos," Elle stated, glancing down at her feet. She had a strange look of regret plastered on her face. "They never really told me, either. I kinda just found out on my own. But I felt so bad for them. They didn't deserve the shit they got for it." I nodded, agreeing with Elle.
"Did you help them?" I finally asked.
"No," Elle said, voice quivering a bit, "I wish I did." An awkward silence fell across the room. I looked around, not searching for anything in particular. Why was Elle acting so weird? It's like she was uncomfortable talking about this. I was confused, as usual.
"But, it's all good now! Everyone that picked on Kian and Sam, are probably regretting every second of it," Elle added on, with a perkier voice. I lifted my head to look at her.
"What do you mean?" I was still confused, asking so many questions.
"Kian and Sam are basically famous, Kendall," Elle said with a smile. I looked at her blankly. Nothing made sense to me. At all. "Ugh! Just gimme your laptop." I carefully handed her my MacBook. She opened it up, and connected to YouTube. She typed something into the search bar. After it loaded, Elle clicked on something, and placed the computer into my lap. "See! Look, they have over 300 thousand subscribers." Elle pointed to the large number on the side of the screen. My eyes widened. I knew minimal information about YouTube, but 300 thousand subscribers was a lot (especially for qn eighteen and seventeen year old).
"Wow," I simply said. I scrolled around their YouTube page. Okay, now things were making more sense to me. Kian and Sam are famous, which means they obviously have a shitload of fans. That explains all the girls that were tweeting Kian and Sam. I guess their fans love them. It also explains their "YouTube friends". It still blows my mind how Kian and Sam became best friends with these guys over the Internet. Like how is that?
My eyes kept wandering around the page. That's when I found a list of related channels. I saw his picture and his name. Jc Caylen.
"Hey, Elle, have you ever met Sam and Kian's YouTube friends?" I asked, startling Elle. She looked up from her phone.
"No why? Who are they?"
"Well, yesterday, at the barbecue, I met them. There's four of them. Connor, Ricky, Trevor, and Jc, I think. And holy freaking shit, they are hot!" I exclaimed excitedly. Elle rolled her eyes.
"Your just boy crazy, Ken," Elle retorted. I gave her a sassy look.
"Seriously, Elle? Let me just show you them."
