The Bridge

Chapter One

Emma flopped down on her bed, pulling out her phone and immediately going to Wattpad. "Oh! They updated the fic!" She said to herself.

Emma had just moved into the new flat with her good friend, Reagan. Really, she should have been going to college because she was only 21, but she already had a successful career in YouTube. She knew that two other YouTubers lived next door, but, Emma, being the antisocial potato she was, refused to go next door with Reagan.

All of a sudden, there was a knock at the front door. Emma sighed and rolled out of bed, onto the floor, crawled to her bedroom door, stood up, then walked to the front door. She opened the door to see Reagan and two other people.

"Hey?" Emma said, as more of a question.

"Yeah, sorry, I forgot my keys and I wanted to invite these two over because they're the YouTuber neighbors!" Reagan said, enthusiastically as the two boys waved. Emma shook her head and rolled her eyes, but moved out of the way. She noticed the boy with the black hair and majestic blue eyes looking at her a little weirdly.

She sat down on the couch, still holding her phone and started reading her fic again.

"Emma!" Reagan suddenly said. Emma jumped.

"Whaaaaat....." She groaned

"We have company! Introduce yourself!" Reagan said. The two boys just kind of stood there awkwardly.

"Hi. I'm Emma." She said, looking back down at her phone then back up at the boys. The one with the brown hair introduced himself as 'Dan' and the one with the black hair, the slightly, very, attractive one, introduced himself as 'Phil.'

Emma blushed as she realized that she thought Phil was attractive. Phil smiled at her and she turned a deeper shade of red. He sat down next to her. Reagan decided to break the awkward silence.

"I-uh... I'm gonna go get some snacks. Dan, wanna come with me?" She asked. Dan shrugged but followed her out of the flat, turning a light shade of pink. He obviously liked Reagan, as more than just a friend.

Emma sat there in awkward silence with Phil, flipping her phone from hand to hand.

"So, uh... What do you wanna do?" Phil asked, looking deep into Emma's grey-blue, scaly textured, eyes. Emma looked away.

"Heh, I don't know?" She questioned. "Do you... Do you like anime?" She asked, awkwardly.

Phil's eyes widened. "Anime?.... HECK YES!" He said, excitement filling his voice. Emma did a cute little clap and bounced in her seat. "So do I!" She exclaimed.

Their conversation changed from anime to shipping to YouTube and soon they were talking about a collab.

"I think we should do truth or dare or some game like that," Phil told Emma. Emma shook her head.

"We should do a challenge!" She smiled. Reagan and Dan walked in together, each holding a bag with Doritos and Root Beer (idc if they don't have it in England).

"SNACKS FIRST!" Emma yelled, stealing the Doritos and running to her room. "GRAB THE ROOT BEER, PHIL!" Phil laughed, and grabbing two cans of root beer, followed Emma to her room.
