Internet Girl

Right Place, Right Time

Today is picture day and my mom is making me look "presentable". Like I don't look presentable in my normal clothes.... psh, PUH-LEEZ! I look awesome in my normal clothes.

But anyway, like I said, she forced me into a dress, but I got away with wearing sneakers. Sadly though, they were Jordans. I'd prefer converse though. Its been a 5 weeks since I created "Eli's World". I've gotten over 7k views on one of my live streams.

While I was live-streaming one of my viewers suggested that I get this app called musical.ly. Many other viewers agreed with her. I've seen my Mandy and Dyl use it sometimes they seem to be addicted to the app. So I downloaded it. Mistake.

I am now addicted as well.

But I have an excuse. There are so many good songs. I usually to PG-13 songs but sometimes I slip up and do a few curse words. And sometimes I wear my moms makeup in the videos. No big deal. My mom knows about NONE of my social media life, and neither does Ant. I'd prefer to keep it that way, thank you.

I slugged out the door and slammed it behind me. I let out a huff of annoyance as I climbed into Zach's car.

"You might wanna get that attitude in check before you get home!" My mom called out after me. Ant snickered and I rolled my eyes.

"This is stupid." I muttered angrily.

"Uh, no. No its not. Whenever people look at the yearbook of 2016-2017 they will see your picture." Dyl said in a 'duh' tone.

I rolled my eyes at her stupidity. "Nobody's going to specifically look for Elliot Kennedy."

"With the way your fame is growing, yes. Yes they will."

I growled at Dyl. "Do you think I care?"

"Well, no. But-"

"It was a rhetorical question, dimwit." I gritted out from my clenched teeth.

"Who peed in your Cheerios this morning?" Mandy asked, skipping into the gym with an unusually happy grin on her face.

"Before I answer, tell me who put the happy crack in your's?" I spit back. I knew why I was so pissy. I had my shark week ("end of sentence") in one day. I'm always like this before my shark weeks.

"You sure put the 'cheer' in Cheerios." Dyl said sarcastically. I gave a sickly sweet smile.

"Lucky for you I went through your phone and I know your shark week is in a day so I brought you two packs of share sized skittles and a bag of watermelon sour patch." Mandy handed my all the candy and I smiled widely. I decided to forget about the first part if the sentence because if the candy.

I stuffed a bag of skittles and the watermelon sour patch in my book bag. They made the eighth graders take our pictures first thing in the morning knowing a lot of us skip later on in the day.

"So, how is the social media life treating ya'?" Mandy asked. I sighed. Remembering the things from this weekend.

"Well, I got some haters and some fans. But I keep getting the same haters on my posts and I'm just like 'Stop watching my posts if you hate me so much'. But I have my fans to stick up for me." I say. I honestly didn't think little kids could be this mean. Once, this 9 year old called me a 'C U Next Tuesday' (A/N Read the first letter of every word) and said I was just a spoiled rich brat. Sure, my family is wealthy but still, that doesn't make me a brat.

Mandy smiled and nodded, agreeing with my statement. Mandy is always so sweet and innocent. She loves to cook and draw. So do I, thats what joined us together. Art class.

I smoothed out my skirt, tugging at the ends. I can't wait 'till 5th period when I have dance. I'm going to just leave my dance clothes on. I hated this outfit.

~*~

Around the end on 5th period the office called me. I gathered my stuff and walked down the silent hallways. My school is pretty big so It should take me around 8 minutes to get to the lobby. Another two to get to the 8th grade office. I decided to start live streaming. People quickly piled in.

I laughed. "Don't you guys have school?" People commented things like...

'Im already out of school'

Or....

'My mom picked me up early'

One person said,

'Im watching this in class.'

I laughed again at all their excuses. After 5 minutes of talking about nonsense a strange comment appeared.

'Hi Eli, Im Mark Thomas. I just wanted 2 tell you the musical.ly con is on October 15. Starting @ 8:00 a.m.'

(A/N I've never been to a Musical.ly Convention so I don't know if there actually was one on Oct. 15. And I don't know when they start either.)

I smiled at the comment. I've seen Mark Thomas before, he's a cute little fella.

I replied to his comment.

'I'll be there.😜"

OMFG!!!! This is a moment of a life time. I can meet hundreds of musers, famous or not. This is also a chance to meet new friends.

I squealed somewhat quietly and skip-walked the rest if the way to the office.

A/N: Ok, so I wanted this to be longer but I got tired. Sorry guys. I'll post soon though. There is a video up top of some of Eli's musical.lys.
