Home Run

Level 1

Sophie was a very neat person. She liked to keep things clean and tidy and that's they way she had always been, ever since she was a child. Her friends could tell plenty of stories of how she would emphasise how it was easy to put a cup on a coaster instead of just on the table because it would make an "ugly ring of doom" as Sophie called it. Another story her friends could tell is how Sophie would line things up in cupboards, Sophie always kept things like cups facing the same way and in a row next to each other, it was one of her many 'quirks.'  Her dad also made comments like that about her. When he was alive. Mr Burns died when Sophie was in her teens, it was hard for her to process such a thing at that age. In your teenage years you have many memories with parents and remember so many small details, so losing her dad at that age hurt Sophie a lot, she would usually cry silently at night thinking about all the cute nicknames her father would call her like, pumpkin or his little plum. He was odd like that. But that's what made Sophie love her dad more than anything.

Sophie also remembered how her dad would tell her to never change who she was, not for anyone or anything. One thing she loved that her dad gave her was his life quote. It was about how life was like a baseball pitch and how each point in the diamond represented a different part in your life. It never really made sense when she thought about it. However she kept it in her mind as motivation.

A couple of years after her fathers death, she decided to make video diary's as a way to express her feelings, she believed writing it down would be useless as it was keeping what you were thinking in your head but she thought if she was talking about everything to a recorder or a camera it would be a way to realese all the built up emotions she had after her dads death and other difficulties. Which is how her youtube channel came to be.

Fast forward a little and you have 22 year old Sophie. With long light brown hair, with blue eyes and a healthy body with a height of 5'3 and a bright smile of her face everyday. The youtube channel she created years ago, which she name 'Burnzey' as it was a nickname, had gained nearly four million subscribers who watch and support every video she uploads. It was a shock at first for Sophie, she had never experienced anything like youtube before, it was all about learning with Sophie. Learning how to edit her videos, getting the right equipment and, most importantly, having the perfect content for her viewers.

A moment Sophie would never forget for as long as she live was going to playlist live when she was 20. This was an event where loads of youtubers were invited to perform shows for fans and it was an honour for Sophie to be asked to attend such an amazing event. Not only did she get to perform and gain subscribers, playlist is where she first met her closest friends. She first met a youtuber named Georgia, she had dark blonde type of hair which was just past her shoulders and greeny blue eyes, also she was around Sophies height but a little smaller. They always get called the short two because Sophie was around 5'3 and Georgia was between 5'1 and 5'2. They didn't mind the nickname for the two of them, they found it funny actually.
Ever since they bumped into each other in the hotel all the youtubers were booked to be staying in, they began to talk about things and hang out after shows. When playlist was over they met up when they wasn't busy and they also made many videos together. From then on they became the bestest and closest friends.

Another person Sophie met while at playlist was called 'mynameschai'. He had short brown hair and was taller than Sophie, which wasn't difficult. They grew close after their first meeting at playlist. Him and Sophie often played video games together for their gaming channels and many subscribers shipped them together, but most just saw them as friends. Chai wanted Sophie to meet his friends so one day, after a show at playlist, he invited her to meet some of his friends in hopes she would have more people to make videos with and hang out with.

Among those people Chai invited to meet Sophie was Alfie Deyes and Zoe Sugg. They were dating and had YouTube channels. Alfie was very tall with brownish hair and brown eyes. Zoe was small, around Sophie's height, she had long black hair with blonde highlights and blue eyes. They were nothing but nice to Sophie and soon grew to be great friends who would make videos together. After playlist, Sophie and Zoe would meet every other weekend to catch up or make a collab together. On these weekend meetings, Alfie would also join sometimes when he wasn't busy.

Over time, Sophie was introduced to many other YouTubers such as; Mark, Louis, Oli White, Caspar Lee, Niomi Smart, Louise Pentland, Marcus Butler, Jack Maynard, Conor Maynard, Josh Pieter's and the boys from the group called the sidemen. The sidemen consisted of 7 youtubers called Harry, Tobi, Vikk, JJ, Simon, Josh and Ethan. They all had separate channels and a channel together. That's about all the youtubers Sophie was friends with. Well actually, Sophie did know one more youtuber except they were not exactly friends, just a friend of a friend. His name was Joe and he was Zoes brother.

Sophie and Joe didn't get along for some unknown reason. No knew why they didn't get along, they didn't even know themselves. Joe was a nice guy, he had sandy blonde hair and had blue eyes. He was taller than Sophie but actually a little short. Sophie never thought Joe was a horrible person and Joe never thought Sophie was a bad person it was just that when they were together they couldn't agree on anything and it was like they hadn't tried to hang out together, they have. Its just that whenever a choice had to be made whether it was where to eat or what to watch they clashed heads. But they wouldn't let that get in the way of hanging out with friends, seems as they had the same friends they would just do one thing in order to keep the peace. Ignore each other. In their eyes it was the only thing that worked.
