Our 3rd World

Chapter 1: The Show

Chapter 1: (Cassie's POV)

I walk quietly down the hall listening to music. As I head toward my office, well I call it an office. But it's more like a reserved room for me or maybe a dressing room. Honestly I don't care what it is. As long as I can use it I'm fine. Anyway, as I go to open up the door I hear yelling. Ugh.. That's most likely Ashton and Liz. When I step in Liz yells "DON'T SAY IT!! I HATE THAT WORD!!!" What word? Who knows? Oh! Just to let you know Liz's real name is Elizabeth, but she says it's too 'long', so we call her Liz for short. "PANTIES!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Ashton scream back. Liz throws a chair cushion at her and erupts in laughter along with Ashton. I just stand there and look at the 2 idiots laying on the ground laughing. "Well good morning..." I mumble stepping over Ashton. "GOOD MORNING!!!" Ashton yells. "Shhh... Guys we'll get in trouble if you don't shut up" I warn them. Liz rolls her eyes and stands up. "What shall we wear for the show?" She asks looking through the rack of clothes the stylists left for us. "I don't know? Let the stylists tell you" I say shrugging my shoulders. As if on mention of their names out stylists walk in. "Good morning girls! Ready for the show?" Heather, one of the stylists, asks. "Oh absolutely not! Look at them in their pajamas and their messy hair!" Taylor, the 2nd stylist, gasps. "Oh hush! It's 8 o'clock. I shouldn't even be up right now" I snap. Taylor rolls her eyes and leads Ashton over to the make up and hair station. "Cassie, what would like to wear?" My stylist, Adriana, asks. I walk over next to her and she shows me an array of outfits. "What do like the best? She asks.

I intently stare at the clothes and pick out my favorite 3. "One of these" I tell her, pointing at the 3 outfits. Adriana smiles and picks up the middle outfit. It works for me. "Go put this on" She demands shoving me into the dressing room. I quickly exchange my pajamas for the new clothes and take a look at myself in the mirror. I smile and decide that this looks good. Adriana picked out a red, plaid, button down shirt, that I left open because I'm wearing a black tank top underneath it, a pair of dark blue jean shorts, and my typical black vans. This looks like my everyday outfit. Good job Adriana! I step out of the dressing room and Adriana leads me over to the make up and hair station. "Ok! How would you like your hair?" Adriana asks. "I honestly don't care" I laugh. Adriana smiles and begins to braid my some what long, blonde hair. Once she finishes, she asks if I like it and I say, "Yes". "Ok time for make up!" She cheers. I sigh loudly and she says "I know you hate make up, but trust me I won't put a lot on." Once again I sigh. Adriana quickly applies some mascara and some light red lipstick. "That's it?" I ask, fairly surprised that's it. "Yep! All done" She says helping me up. I give her a small smile and walk over to Ashton. She is dressed in Cookie Monster tank top, some black shorts, and blue converse. Her hair was left down, but it's brushed and doesn't look as bad as earlier. She also has mascara, some eye shadow, and pale pink lipstick on. "Looking glamorous" I wink. "Hahaha, right back at ya. Love the make up! You should totes wear it more" She laughs. "Ha! Absolutely not I don't want to be a painted whore" I giggle with her. The 2 of us laugh and then Liz walks over. She is dressed in a blue crop top that says "Pepsi" on it, with a white under shirt, light blue jean shorts, and a pair of denim color vans. Liz, like me, has little make up on. Just a little mascara and bright red lipstick. "Oh look a walking Pepsi bottle" Ashton says. Liz glares at her and says "Shouldn't you be on Sesame Street?"

Before things get worse, Alex walks in. "Hello Beautiful" He smirks as he hugs me from behind. "Good morning sunshine" I smile back, kissing his cheek. "Awww! To cute!" Ashton and Liz coo. I roll my eyes and smile. When ever I'm around Alex I can't seem to wipe this dang smile of my face. But hey, it doesn't bother me. "Ready for the show?" He asks. "Yep!" I reply. "Well let's get going. They are going to be airing soon" He tells us. "What are we waiting for let's gooo!" I cheer, running out of the room. "Last one there is a rotten egg!!" I yell. The 3 of them follow behind me getting closer with every step. Eventually, both Liz and Ashton are by my side. Then Alex comes up from behind my and picks me up. "Hey!" I yell. Alex just throws his head back in laughter and continues to run. Finally we make it to the studio and Alex puts me down. "I'll see you after the show" He says kissing my cheek and heading toward his seat. "Aww, where are you guys going after the show? I hear you 2 are headed out somewhere special." Liz smiles, nudging my arm. I blush and say "Alex hasn't told me. But he says we're going to where he used to live and I'm going to meet his friends. He said like 6 of them or something like that." Ashton and Liz exchange glances and smirk. They both giggle as we head to our seats and when we sit down Ashton blurts out "O2L has 6 members! Maybe those are his friends!!" "Ha! I wish! But I think he used to live in Nevada or something like that. I honestly don't know." I say telling the truth. Honestly I don't know much about Alex. I mean I know all the basic stuff. But he kinda hides his past away from me. The only thing I know is that I'm not exactly the type of girl he likes to date, but being me I said yes. But I've just been eerie about him dumping me. I try not to think about it and tell myself I doesn't matter.

Anyway... let's push that thought aside.. "Still! It could be them!!" Ashton says, continuing to pester me about it while Liz just laughs. They both shut up as the lights dim and a guy says "1 minute till we are on!" Wow.. this is so exciting!! Oh! I forgot to mention that we are going to be on The Today Show! They are interviewing popular YouTube channels and our channel got picked! The 3 of us have gotten pretty popular these past few months. After a minute the room goes silent and the show starts. They go through the groups by alphabetical order so our group will be last being that our YouTube channel is Our 3rd World. As time passes and more channels are interviewed we are finally called up. "And our last group for today is 'Our 3rd World'! These 3 girls, Cassie, Ashton, and Elizabeth recently have become popular with their variety of videos" The interviewer announces as we step on the stage. The 3 of us sit on the couch and the interviewer says "So how days a week do you guys make videos and who gets what day?" Instantly Ashton pipes up and tell him "Everyday, other than Sunday. I make videos on Mondays and Saturdays, Cassie makes videos on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Liz makes videos on Wednesday and Thursday!" Liz and I smile and the interviewer turns to us. "So, Cassie, what type of videos do all of make?" he asks me. "Well each week we have a theme. Like this weeks theme is the seasons. So for me I will make a video that's about Summer and then Liz might make one about spring and Ashton might do one about fall. So each week we have a different theme and we do videos according to that. Like Ashton may do a make up tutorial, I could do a video game review, and Liz might do a funny skit. It just keeps things organized and interesting" I explain.

After a couple more questions the show ends. Liz, Ashton, and I head back to the dressing room together. We all grab our bags and the stylists say we can keep the clothes. We tell them thank you and walk out to the parking lot. "Need a ride home?" I ask the girls. "Yes" They reply in unison. "Ok! Let's go" I cheer. We all hop into my beautiful, blue Jeep Wrangler. Liz, who called shotgun, blasts the music and all of us belt out the song lyrics. By the time we get home, we are all in a big fit of laughter. "C'mon let's go get you packed" Ashton says in between laughs. We manage to make it up to the door and up to my room before Alex gets here. "Ready to go?" He asks as I let him in. "Haha! no I haven't even packed, but will you tell me where we are going so I know what to pack!" I beg, dragging him upstairs. "Fine I'll tell you" He sighs. "Yay!!" I cheer. "We are going to California"
