Your First Song

You spent the rest of the day telling yourself that you and Mark are just friends, but you also couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if you guys started dating. He would send you cute texts, and you would write songs for him. You two would talk for hours about anything, and you would never get tired of each other. And - no, no, you're definitely just friends. Maybe. Well, that coffee thing was kinda, sorta, maybe a date. Right? Never mind, it didn't matter! You had to focus on tomorrow. That was the day you were going to upload your first original song to YouTube. 'Focus on that, focus on that,' you reminded yourself, but as you went to bed, you just couldn't stop thinking about if you should text Mark tomorrow after you upload the video.

The next morning, you awoke to your alarm at 8:00 a.m. reading 'Show Time! :)' and you jumped out of bed. You knew there was no set time for your song, but you were just too excited to wait! You rushed downstairs and ate a granola bar as fast as you could. After that, you warmed up and ran through your song several times. You knew you were ready.

You set the camera up and tried to shake off your nerves. You pressed record and started singing, but you soon fell into giggles. You stopped, erased, and tried again, but you just burst into giggles again. You had to focus. You took a deep breath, and pressed record. You started singing with the keyboard, and this time you didn't giggle.

"You cannot find your way,
without feeling lost.
You cannot live your dreams,
unless you've faced your nightmares."

You got more confident as you went along, and you made sure to come out strong on the chorus.

"Find your wayyyy
to your dreeaaams.
I know you may be scared,
but we all have our fears."

After you finished the song, you ran upstairs with the camera to edit and upload it. You must have gone through it 2o times to make sure everything was perfect. You took a breath, and uploaded it to your channel: "(y/n) Entertainment" (it was the best name you could come up with).

After several minutes of consideration, you picked up your phone and texted Mark.

Just finished uploading my first video to YouTube! Is u proud of me :P.

In just a few minutes, he answered back.

Indeed, I am. Wanna celebrate over some lunch with me?

Yeah! I'll be right there.

'Did Mark just ask me on a date?'  You wondered, and giggled to yourself. 'I guess I'll just have to find out.' And with that, you threw on some shoes and headed over to Mark's house.
