Ready Or Not-Being Iris [COMING SOON]

Okay, so I uploaded this a while ago and took it down due to the lack of response, however, I'm not sure that I'll actually write it without some kind of incentive so here goes nothing!

You can ignore this totally if you wish, but I beg of you to please vote? I can understand not wanting to comment because tbh I rarely comment myself (effort) but honestly, all you have to do is click a star and make it shine to vote, which sounds hella cool and totally adorable. Like pleeeeaaaase?!

Anyway! Who saw Doctor Who? So far I think I'm going to like Capaldi-but the goodbye was absolutely heartbreaking! I won't say any more (spoilers, sweetie) but check it out if you haven't already.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Prologue

“Mum, I’m home!” Iris walked into her house and kicked off her shoes. “Mum! Where are you?!”

She wandered into the kitchen and picked up the note left on the kitchen table.

“Out for work, pizza in freezer, cook for you and Micky. Dad home at 7:00pm-Love Mum. Fantastic.” Iris sighed and threw the note back on the table. “Micky! Micky, are you home yet?!”

There was no reply.

“Obviously not, then.” Iris ran up the stairs and into her bedroom, almost slipping over in her socked feet. Maybe she’d have time to film before her brother got home-maybe.

As soon as she was in her bedroom, she got changed out of her restrictive school uniform and into baggy leggings and a large hoodie. It was always cold in her bedroom, especially in winter.

Her camera was already set up in the corner of the room from Friday’s vlog, so she simply made sure it was plugged in and that it was pointing the right way-she didn’t want to be half in and half out of the shot, and, what with all the work she’d just been given, she wouldn’t have any time to re-film it before next week.

“Hi, guys!” She waved at the camera, energetically, her thick black hair bouncing on her shoulders. “It’s Iris here, as usual, I don’t really know who else you were expecting, but, anyway!” She laughed. She was going to have to do so much editing tonight, considering the mood she was in. “If this is the first time you have watched my videos, I’ll be a bit more formal-hello, it’s nice to meet you, I’m Iris, this is YouTube, and today is Monday, which means that I upload a cover of a song that I like or that someone suggested to me, which is what I’m doing now.”

“Iris!” Iris groaned. “Iris, are you home?!”

“Micky shut up! I’m filming!” She yelled back. With a sigh, Iris got up and stopped the camera, before running down the stairs to see her brother waiting in the kitchen.

“What do you want?” Iris leaned against the doorway and folded her arms. Her brother was a pain at the worst of times.

“I’m hungry.”

“So?”

“Mum says you’re supposed to make tea.”

“‘Mum says’,” Iris mimicked. “You’re sixteen, stick the pizza in the oven yourself and eat it.”

“Ah, what?!” Her brother groaned. “That’s not fair!”

“Oh grow up.” Iris stalked off upstairs, her mood definitely sourer than before.
