Home Run

level 3

When Joe and Sophie first met they did actually get along. They talked about YouTube and how they became youtubers, they learnt about each other. Sophie learnt Joe was a roof thatcher before being a youtuber and that's why he is called 'ThatcherJoe'. Joe learnt that Sophie was brought up in Bristol before moving to London. But their personality's clashed and they nearly got into an argument about something petty that neither of them remember now. Sophie ran her brush through her hair one more time before putting the brush back in her bag and collecting her dirty clothes of the floor and placing them in a carrier bag and into her backpack. She checked herself in the mirror before picking up her bag and exciting the bathroom and walking back to the kitchen. Arriving in the kitchen, she placed her bag by the door and went to go grab some kitchen roll to clean the mess the video had created but she was stopped by Simon.

"You don't need to do that, I can do it" He insisted nicely but Sophie was having none of it.

"No it's okay I'll help you out" She says reaching for the kitchen roll only for Simon to jokingly slap her had away. She laughed and slapped his hand back which then to a jokinging slap war between the two.

"Ohhh I see a blossoming youtube love" A voice rang from behind them so they stopped and turned to see Harry with his vlogging camera and Joe stood beside him.

"Stop starting rumours Harry" Simon laughs grabbing the kitchen roll and beginning to clean the mess.

"Hey Sophie" Joe greets with a forced happy expression, Sophie looks towards him and smile politely.

"Hello Joe" She greets nicely to him. Before quickly grabbing the kitchen roll from beside Simon, which he placed beside him, and began to clean with Simon.

"Hey!" Simon exclaims before laughing and surrending by allowing Sophie to clean with him. Harry turned of his camera and placed it in his jumper pocket before turning to Joe.

"Drink?" Harry asks Joe walking to the fridge.

"Coke please" Joe says following Harry to the fridge and thanking him when he pasted him the red can. It didn't take long for the mess to be cleaned by the Sophie and Simon. Once they had finished Simon signaled for Sophie to follow him to the living room where he turned on the TV and set up Fifa for them to play.

"Wanna a game?" He asked Sophie holding the white controller out for her.

"Sure" She replied grabbing the controller and sitting down on the sofa waiting for Simon to sit next her.
This often happened after filming a video together, they would play Fifa for a while then Sophie would leave before it got too late. A couple of minutes into the competitive game, Harry and Joe made an appearnence in the living room. They sat on the couch beside the one Simon and Sophie were on and began to talk quietly. Sophie was nearing an opportunity to score and when it finally arrived she took it and scored. Simon yelled and threw his controller onto the couch in a joking matter while Sophie jumped up from her seat to celebrate. She did the classic finger on lips to 'shh' people making everyone in the living room laugh. Once she finished she laughed and sat back down beside Simon.

"Still haven't won yet" Simon said pointing his finger at Sophie and picking up his controller to continue the game. A little while later and Sophie did indeed win the game and she didn't hesitate to gloat about her winning. After the game, Sophie was going to leave but Simon asked whether she wanted to stay any longer.

"Do you want to just watch something like a movie?" He suggested, she thought about it and agreed to staying seems as it was still early. While looking through Netflix for something to watch she saw something she thought everyone would enjoy. Insidious. However when she suggested the movie someone else also said something.

"Insidious looks good"

"What about the conjuring?"

Her and Joes voices cancelled each other out and they looked towards each other and began to, once again, talk at the same time.

"Let's watching the conjuring then"

"We can watch insidious"

They both were trying to do the nice thing but were growing frustrated with each other. This happened often between them. They both would suggest something different then try and go with the others option, it often ended with someone else suggesting something completely different.

"Let's just watch the woman in black" Harry said quickly, just in case there was an argument. Surprisingly, with the amount of times Joe and Sophie disagreed they never argued or were even cold towards each other. They just couldn't agree on anything. Before they began to watch the movie Sophie decided she wanted something to get a drink but, again, Joe also began to talk as Sophie did

"I'm just going to grab a drink"

"I'll make us some snacks"

They made eye contact with each other and before it for awkward they looked away and slowly got up at the same time and walked to the kitchen in silence. When they arrived, Sophie grabbed a can for herself then some cans for the others but once she had them in her hands she started to fill them slip from her hands. Joe saw her struggling and before they dropped he ran to her and stopped the cans from falling. He cupped his hands around hers and she looked up to see his blue eyes already looking at her.

"Thanks" She said as she pushed their hands to the kitchen side and placing the cans down.

"No problem" Joe said quickly before removing his hands from hers and coughing slightly.

He moved back to the cupboards and began grabbing some snacks for everyone. But as he did he thought back to the incident of the cans and how he never realised how nice Sophies eyes were. As he thought about this he turned his head to see what Sophie was doing and found her looking into the cupboard on her tip toes. Joes eyes slowly trailed up and down Sophie. He was checking her out. But as he did this, his hands were still going threw the cupboard and as he wasn't looking his hand pushed and a bag of popcorn making them fall to the floor making a loud bang making Sophie jump and instantly turn around.

"Joe are you alright!" Sophie exclaimed, shocking herself and Joe at her sudden burst of affection

"Yeah I'm good" He replied picking up the popcorn. After he did, the room fell silent.
