   I woke up to the smell of something burning, which probably meant Grayson cooking. I rub my eyes and roll out of bed to see what he did. When I got to the kitchen, I didn't expect what I was about to see.
Grayson was panicking at the fact that the eggs he was attempting to make up went up in flames. How is it possible? I don't know. Could Grayson do it? Absolutely.
"Grayson Bailey Dolan what have you done?!" I yell, detaching the water thing (a/n I just thought for five minutes on what it's called but I have no idea) from the sink and spraying out the fire. His face was white as a ghost and smoke filled the air.
Water began to trickle down on my head and a loud beeping sound blared. I sigh and look down at my feet.
"My bad." Grayson murmured, obviously embarrassed at his cooking fail. I stifle a laugh, making him lightly chuckle.
"Gordon Ramsey who?" I say sarcastically as the water stopped. He shook his head like a wet dog. Charming.
Grayson's phone let out a loud text tone and he pulled it out from his pocket. His expression looked frustrated but worried at the same time.
"Ethan has the flu. Do you think you could film with me today? We were gonna do the most likely to challenge." He asked running his hand through his hair. He knew that being in front of the camera wasn't my favorite thing.
  "Why not. Tell Ethan I hope he feels better." I say with a smile, trying to hide the fact I kind of didn't want to. During high school, I got a lot of cyber bullying and Grayson was the one that helped me through it.
  He smiled at me and typed away on his phone. I hope the viewers like me.... they show Ethan and Gray so much support, but I might not be enough to fill Ethan's place.
I decide to go back to my room so I could get ready, considering I was still spandex and an over sized shirt with a messy bun.
I change into black leggings and a loose grey shirt. I'm not really a make up person so I just brushed my hair and teeth to finish up.
I walked to Grayson's room to film, and everything was already set up. I was used to this because a lot of the time I was sitting somewhere behind the camera on my phone.
"You ready?" Grayson asked, sitting down at the end of his bed. I nodded and sat next to him, looking at myself in the view finder. "They're going to love you, trust me." He confirmed leaning forward to turn on the camera.
  "Hey guys! This is Catherine. Ethan is sick, so she's filling in. And that's real dope of her. You don't know her, but we've been buds sine high school." He said in his usual filming voice. He swung his arm around my shoulder and I flashed a smile.
  "Nice to meet you guys! Today we are going to be doing The Who is more likely to challenge, and Gray wrote our names on the front and back of two papers. I'm guessing he has some questions planned so let's kick it!" I said in the most energetic voice I could. We did a little more intro, and got into the video.
We went through the questions pretty easily and I had a lot of fun. There were a lot of tweets to Grayson about who Catherine is or if we were dating. So we were just gonna clear that up in the end.
"Now for all of you wondering, Catherine is only a friend. We live in the same house but we are not doing any of that boyfriend girl friend stuff. But there's only one thing left..." He said giving you a smirk.
  "Peace!" We both yelled lunging at the camera. I already felt nervous about the video going up. Oh well, what's done is done.
  "You did amazing! They are gonna be so upset you don't have any social media." Grayson said turning off the camera. I shrugged and walked to my room.
  The words that Emily Tucker called me in high school stuck in my head.
Fat
  Ugly
  Whore
  Slut
  All of which still stung as much as they did. I hope this video goes well.
