I wasn't usually in front of the camera, I prefer to be behind. I'm not the most bold or confident person in the world either. Then I met him. He's so different, but opposites attract, right?

I grab my camera case. I hop from my seat in the kitchen and head out my apartment door. I drop the camera case into the passenger seat and start the car. I smile and grab my phone out of my white jean shorts pocket. I swipe the screen and find Sydney's name in messages.

Claire: Hey! I'm heading over get my order ready.

I wait a few before I feel a buzz.

Sydneyy: one caramel frappuccino coming up :)

I smile and start to drive.

I walk through the doors of Starbucks. I approach the counter and see a smiling face walk towards me.

"Hmm, miss here's your Caramel Frappuccino."

I laugh and take the cup "thanks Syd." I look up at her and take a sip.

"So what are the plans today?" Syd leans on the counter.

I smile, "I wanted to head to the beach for some pictures. I don't wanna do much today, I'm really tired."

"Yeah today seems to be a slow day for everyone." Syd stands back up. "I gotta go I don't want to get yelled at again from the beast, I mean boss."

She sweetly speaks the last word and smiles falsely. I smile and wave as she turns and walks away. I take a another sip and head out the doors.

I look out the window into the deep blue sky. The clouds look almost silver. I can't help, but smile. I'm about a mile from my destination. It's easy to get tired of the buzz in the big city.

I peer out my rear view mirror to see a car behind me. Inside it looks as if the person has a camera. It doesn't surprise me, typical LA. I turn my glance back to the road when suddenly my car jerks forward and I slam the breaks. Whiplash is sent through my entire body. I hit a sudden cushion. The air bags have popped out. I shut my eyes and wait for the fear factor to end.

I open my eyes. I look in the rear view mirror, I see the black car behind me, in the back of my car.

I unbuckle and get out if my car. I close my door and back up to examine the damage. It's not much, but enough to take my car away for at least a week while in shop.

The guy comes out of his car and starts shaking his head. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..."

He looks up at me. I kind of just stand there looking at my car. I sigh and look at him. "Maybe you shouldn't film yourself while driving."

His cheeks turn red and I turn around and take my phone from my pocket. I phone the police.

I hang up and turn back to him. He is tall and has spiked up brown hair. He's kinda cute...

I shake off the idea.

"Sorry, it's for my YouTube channel."

I look up at him. "Maybe you could live your life without someone else watching your every move."

He laughs, "listen, I don't need you telling me how to live."

I cross my arms, "just like I thought, all of you famous people are jerks."

Before he can speak again I turn and climb back into my car.

About 15 mins after I called the police arrive. We clear things up and I hop back in and continue on. I look back at his car, all he wants is views and attention. Or maybe I judged him? ugh I'm overthinking. I'll never see him again anyways.
