     "Well, honestly, I messaged and followed you because you were pretty. I didn’t know I had a fan as pretty as you.” I say, breathily. What will she think? She’s silent for a while. Now, I’m starting to get nervous. I knew I shouldn’t have said that.

   “Oh, thanks.” She says finally.

  “You’re welcome and I mean it,” I say, chuckling.

  “So, are you excited for Vidcon? It’s only in a few days!” I say to fill the silence.

  “Yeah, I actually am really excited! I’m going to meet the Youtubers I watch, how cool is that?” Emily giggles a bit.

  “Uh huh, well maybe we should meet up?” I suggest, trying not to force it upon her.

  “Sure! That’d be amazing.” She says dreamily. I laugh wholeheartedly.

  “Who all do you want to meet when you go?” I ask curiously.

  “I want to meet CaptainSparklez, Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart, Tyler Oakley, Troye Sivan, Sprinkleofglitter, Zoella, Marcus Butler, Glozell, PointlessBlog, Shane Dawson, Brittani Louise Taylor, Blair Fowler, The Fine Brothers, Bethany Mota, iJustine, Connor Franta, Ricky Dillon, Tanya Burr, and Joey Graceffa.” She takes a breath.

  “Wow, that’s a lot of Youtubers!” I reply.

  “Yep, well I do like Youtube so of course I watch a lot of Youtubers.” She laughs, and it’s adorable. No, stop that Graser! Stop thinking like that! We keep chatting for a little while longer until she says she needs to go.

  “Alright, it was fun talking Em.” I say accidentally. Why did I call her Em? I facepalm myself.

  “Em?” She questions.

 “Uh, if you want me to call you Emily I will.” I reply quickly.

  “Yeah, I’d prefer it. Well, bye Graser.” She sighs and signs off. I blew it. I completely blew it. Why did I have to call her that? That’s probably something only her friends call her. I run my hands through my hair and try to not overthink things.

            Soon enough, I go on TeamSpeak to get my mind off things. I see that only Bayani is on.

  “Hey Bayani!” I say cheerfully.

  “Hi,” He replies a bit coolly.

  “Hey man, what’s up?” I ask, getting concerned.

  “Oh, it’s nothing. Just that Youtube wants to close my account.” His voice breaks.

  “What? No, you’re kidding right?” I say in a panicky voice.

  “I’m completely serious Graser. They sent me a message from the official Youtube channel and they’re going to close my account within 48 hours.” Bayani takes a deep breath.

  “You can’t be serious.” I say.

  “But I am. You can log into my account and see it for yourself if you want.” He sobs.

  “Bayani, I promise we’ll get this figured out, alright?” I try to reassure him.

  “I’m going to cry.” Bayani says.

  “No, it’s okay. We’ll get this figured out like I said before. Plus—” I get cut off as my power goes out. Great. Now I’ve left Bayani by himself with devastating news.
