Yes Maybe Also

Chapter 2

"What?" Someone's got to be kidding me. "What do you mean you're Harry Styles' sister?" We're walking down a long street with tall buildings on either side. I have no idea where we are.

"Exactly that." Gemma looks nervous, as if she's in trouble.

"And when did you plan on telling me?" I can't even believe she didn't. It seems like something that, you know, would come up in a conversation.

"I guess I just didn't want you to treat me differently?" Gemma twiddles her thumbs.

"You're a celebrity's sister! Who wouldn't treat you differently?!" Hey, I might be from a town the size of a potato, but who doesn't know who One Direction is?

Hally raises her hand. "Uh, me."

"Ok, fine. I'll try not to be starstruck when I'm around you." I propose.

"And I'll try not to remind you my brother is Harry Styles." Gemma agreed.

"Actually, no, give me the scoop. How was he growing up? Was he always so perfect? Was his hair always curly? Did he like bring home a new girl every week?" I link arms with her and put my head on her shoulder. "Please tell me? I'd love you forever!"

"Are you a fan?" Gemma looks at me quizzically. "I didn't peg you for the boyband type."

"I'm not a directioner, but I do love their music. I have Take Me Home. Midnight Memories hasn't gotten to Arca yet." I shrug my shoulders.

"Do you want to meet them?" She asks me, gauging my reaction carefully.

"Are you kidding? Are you messing with me? For real? You joking? Not funny! Oh my God, are you serious? No way! Nuh uh, can you really introduce me? Oh my God! No way-"

"Shut up already!" Hally puts her hands over her ears. "They're just a band."

"I know, but I've never actually met a celebrity. Or seen one in real life." I can only imagine how starry-eyed I must've looked at this point.

"Well, as luck may have it they're literally coming to Sheffield in two weeks." Gemma says.

"God, it's fate! It's fate!" I spin around the crowded sidewalk and accidentally bump into a young couple, earning a couple of dirty looks.

Hally grabs my arm and pulls me sharply next to her. "Yeah, yeah. Fate, love, destiny. I've had enough of that. Let's go home."

_________________________

Two days of classes later, it's Friday, the only day of the week that neither Hally or I have any classes.

She's sprawled on her bed scrolling through Twitter on her phone and I'm on mine reading "The Duff". Suddenly, Hally's on my bed, grabbing my book.

"What're you reading?" She scans the page quickly. "Bo-ring. Let's do something fun."

"Fun? I'm not sure if I want to know what your definition of fun is." I bookmark my page and close the book anyways.

"Let's... have a paintball fight!" I shake my head no. She pouts. "You're no fun. Wanna go shopping?"

"I don't have enough money. So no." I say.

"I'll pay!" She offers.

"No."

"Let's go to the beach?"

"No."

"Play a prank on Gem?"

"No."

"Bake?"

"Boring, no."

"God, do you have any other word in your vocabulary other than no?!" She huffs and rolls off my bed.

"Yes."

Suddenly, her head pops up from the floor. "Let's start a Youtube account!"

I hesitate. I don't really see any bad coming from that. I had an account for makeup tutorials back home. "Ok."

"Yay!" She jumps from her knees to her feet and claps her hand.

"What'll our account be about?" We can't just have an account about nothing.

"Nothing! Nothing in particular. Just whatever we want!" She's really getting excited now, and it's making me nervous.

"If you don't have a topic you'll never get any subscribers." I inform her.

"Not true! Look at Sprinkle of Glittler! She's got no main purpose and she's got loads of subscribers!"

"Who's name is Sprinkle of Glitter?" I crinkle my nose, imagining what this girl looks like.

"That's not her name, stupid. That's the name of her Youtube. Her name's Luisa. She's Zoella's best friend?"

"Oh, Zoella's great!" I she was my Youtube inspiration right under Bethany Mota.

"See? Ok, enough about Youtubers. Let's make that account."

________________________________________

A half an hour and many arguements later, we have our account, hallybells. Hally hated it because it was "unimaginative and boring". She wanted to name it "AWABAF", short for "Adventures With a Beauty and a Freak". That was a no from me.

Our profile picture is a photo that we only took one shot at. In the picture, we were meant to be sat there, smiling. But just before the camera timer reached three, Hally burped and we began a laughing fit. So that was our profile picture, my head thrown back and Hally's hand over her mouth, a single tear escaping her eye in laughter. It was perfect.

"Ok, so first video ideas, go." She had a pad of paper in her lap and a pen twiddling in her fingers.

"First two minutes, we introduce ourselves." I suggest.

"Right, right. Next two minutes?" She jots down my words.

"I don't know, what do you think?" I say, shrugging.

"We could... We could play Who Am I?"

"Yawn." I tap my chin with my finger. "Hm. Hey! You know that guy who went around trying to pick up girls with One Direction lyrics? We could try to pick up guys with like Little Mix lyrics or something."

"Oh my god, that would be so much fun! But not Little Mix, they don't really do love songs." She points out.

"True. Demi Lovato?"

"Golden! It's golden. We're golden." She claps her hands together and kisses them. "I'm so glad you're my roomate."

"Yeah." I smile. "Me too."
