I love YouTube. I'm a YouTuber. I have been for a few years now and I have even met some others. One of my favorites channels are O2L. I absolutely love O2L. I think everything about it is amazing except for one thing. Justin frickan Caylen. I know. I know. Justin's everyone's "Favorite". Well he's not mine. In fact I hate him. Do any of you know him? Really? Have you had more than two minute conversations with him? No? That's what I thought. That boy has ruined my life since the day I met him. Don't believe me? Check this out.

Age 5: Kindergarten Ms. Marx classroom.

"Class I would like you to say hi to our new student, Justin." Ms. Marx smiled. A boy popped his head into the classroom. "Hi Justin." The class said together. "Hi." He smiled. "There's an empty seat here." Ms. Marx said sitting him next to me. "Hi." I smiled. "Hi. Wanna borrow my crayons?" He asked. I nodded and picked up a purple. Justin and I started drawing on my coloring book. He stopped and looked at me. "What?" I asked. "You'd look really pretty with shorter hair." He said and cut my long blonde ponytail in half. "HEY!" I whined. "I'm sorry." He said and handed me the chunk of hair. "I'll fix it." He said and cut my other one in the same place. "Stop it." I snapped at him and smacked the scissors from his hand. "I was just trying to fix it." He defended himself. I crossed my arms. "You wouldn't have had to fix if you didn't mess it up." "Girls are stupid." He groaned. I pushed him down and stuck my tongue at him. "No boys are stupid." I said. He stood up and pushed me down. Later that day during naptime I drew all over his face with permanent marker. His face was covered in marker for a week.

Age 9: Fifth Grade Mr. O'Brien's classroom.

"Shhh guys be quiet." Justin whispered. He placed it carefully on my head. My eyes shot open and I swatted it from my head. I screamed as the gigantic tarantula landed on my desk. I could hear him and the boys laughing at me. I picked the spider up and yanked Justin forward by his jeans and dropped the tarantula in. Did you know that tarantulas have these little spikes on them and if they get in your skin in itches and burns? I did.

Age 13: Eighth Grade Middle school hallway.

I closed my locker and saw him. He looked amazing. His brown hair was pushed back. I smiled and waved him over. "Hey Charlie." he smiled. "Hey Seth." I smiled. "So I was wondering if you might want to go to the dance with me?" I asked. "That would be-" He started but Justin cut him off. "Hey Seth. What are you doing with her?" He asked. "Can you go away?" I asked. "What? Oh. I get it. Let me guess. You asked him to the dance and now you think he's your boyfriend or something. Yea right freak." He chuckled and pulled Seth away. He mouthed an I'm sorry and left with Jc. I took a sharpie and wrote on the 'Gossip Stall' in the girls bathroom and wrote Jc is the absolute worse kisser.That oughta do it. I thought. In middle school that was basically the only thing I had to say for his reputation with girls to plummet.

Age 16: Eleventh Grade Prom

Oh prom. Supposedly the most amazing day in a teen girls life. It was for me for all of two minutes. "And now your Prom king and queen are.....Jc Caylen and Charlie Crawford. My mouth dropped. I knew I was nominated but I thought it was a joke. We went up to the stage and the announcer put our crowns on. We had to dance so we went to the middle of the room by the fountain. I looked at Jc and he was smirking. "What?" I asked. He tripped my feet from under me and I fell into fountain. I stood up and listened to the uproar of laughter around me. I yanked Jc pants down boxers and all and shoved him into the water. The school laughed even louder. I threw my crown onto his head and it landed perfectly. He glared at me and I flipped him off and left.

Age 17: Twelfth Grade Graduation ceremony

I was so nervous. I was valedictorian and I was suppose to give a speech. I got up with all of the confidence I could manage and spoke. "Ladies, gentlemen, Caylen." I said making people laugh. He saluted me and I continued. "We have been stuck here for four years...or so we thought. Truth is we had it good here and once we leave it only gets harder so I have this video commemorating all of the great moments in our class." I clicked the button on the remote and the video started but then it switched. It was a video of a party. "Hey Charlie. Had a bit to drink?" Justin asked me on the video. He was behind the camera. I looked at him in the crowd. He was smiling to himself. "No I'm sober." I slurred. I tried to turn the video off but it wouldn't. "Oh I'm sure." He chuckled. "You know I really have always liked you." I smiled. "Oh yeah?" He asked. "Mhm." I said and pulled at my shirt. I pulled it over my head and threw it at the camera. The room filled with laughter and whistles. I was mortified. I remembered what came next. I had sex with Jc and he had it on video. I ran out of the room with tears streaming down my face. "Wait! Charlie!" Justin yelled. I sprinted out and to my house but tripped on my gown. Justin wrapped his arms around me. "Let me go!" I screamed trying to pull from his grip to no prevail. "Charlie please. I'm sorry. It was a prank and I didn't know this would happen. I'm really sorry." He tried. "Get off!" I yelled and ran away from him. I cried for hours but that wasn't even the worst part.

{ Jc's POV }

*Three Days Later*

I felt so bad. I didn't mean to make her cry. I know we don't like each other but dang I'm an asshole. I tried apologizing but Charlie wouldn't listen. I honestly thought I had edited the part where we had sex out. In fact I was sure of it. Someone must have messed with it. I drove to Charlie's house to apologize and explain. I knocked on the door. Her mom answered the door. "Hi Mrs. Crawford is Charlie home?" I asked. "Yes, in fact she hasn't left for days." She said crossing her arms. Fuck. She knew. "Can I please talk to her. I need to explain what happened." I pleaded. "I don't think that that's a good idea. Charlie's not really...stable...at the moment." She said. "Please I promise I won't try and upset her. It's important." I begged. She sighed and let me in. I ran up to Charlie's room. The room was dark and Charlie was sitting on her bed, holding her knees, staring at a wall. She didn't look up when I walked in. Her eyes were red from crying. She had tearstains on her cheeks. "Charlie." I said in case she hadn't heard me. She glanced at me then looked back to the wall. "Charlie please." I said and I sat down next to her. "What do you want?" She said barely audible. "I edited that video, I'm sure of it. I edited out the part where we...did it." I said. She shook her head and looked back at the wall. "I did I swear. I don't know how it got in there. I'm really sorry. It was suppose to cut off when you threw your shirt at me I swear." I tried.

"You know I had been working on that video since freshman year?" She asked. I shook my head. "All it took was a two minute video to ruin my life." She said quietly. "I didn't ruin it. You'll probably never see anyone here again." I said. She looked at me wildly.

"You don't know do you?" She asked. "Know what?" I asked. "The video's online. I thought you did it?" She frowned. "What?!" I yelled. "You didn't know." She said quietly. "I am so sorry. I didn't put that video online." I promised. She chuckled harshly. "Only because it would hurt you. Don't worry they conveniently blurred you out. It's just me and a random stranger to anyone else." She glared.

"Charlie I-" "You know who saw the video?" She cut me off. I shook my head. "My family saw it. The director at Princeton saw it and every other college dean in the country. Someone emailed it to them. Someone who clearly hates me." She said. I was shocked. "I had a full scholarship to Princeton. I got a call the other day from the dean of admissions who called to tell me my scholarship has been revoked. You know I wanted to be a doctor. I called other schools and they wont take me because of that video." She said. Her voice started to shake and a tear went down her cheek but she wiped it away.

"No." She whispered. "What?" I asked. "I won't let you see me cry. If I start now I won't stop." She said. "Charlie I never meant for this to happen." I tried. "But it did. And it's your fault." She whispered. I wiped a few tears from my face. "I-I'm sorry Charlie." I said and left. I couldn't take it anymore. I felt like I was gonna die. I ruined her life with my camera. I swear for the rest of my life I will only make peoples lives better with my camera.
