A YouTube Summer

t w o ;

"This is it!" Andrea grinned as they displayed the boys' house to me. I nodded in shock.

After just a year of successful YouTube filming out here, the O2L boys had bought themselves a pretty cool place.

"Follow me inside!" Jenn ran around the back and I did as told. We went inside through a sliding glass door by the pool, ending up in the living room.

"I'm here!" I yelled.

Footsteps pounded down the stairs and I was tackled by Connor and Kian. Ricky hugged me and said, "Nice to see you again,"

and JC kinda just stood there.

I didn't mind, I mean we hadn't totally met yet so I guess it was a bit awkward.

"Nat, we've gotta go so you can unpack at our place. We'll see you guys at dinner!" Andrea pulled me away and we all said goodbye.

I stepped out of the bathroom after a nice, steaming hot shower.

After changing into a blue tank top and white shorts, I hurried down the hallway to Jenn's room.

"Can I borrow your Converse?" I asked her as she finished brushing her hair.

"Yeah! They're in the closet," she pointed with her foot. I nodded, smiling.

I took her black converse sneakers and slid them on, then sat on Andrea's bed watching TV while she finished getting ready.

"Where are we going?" I yelled across the hallway to Jenn's bedroom.

"Mexican!" She yelled back. I laughed; of course.

While I was waiting, I texted my mom telling her that everything was going great and we were about to leave for dinner. When she asked why it was so late, I reminded her of the time difference. Oh, mom.

The car pulled up to a Spanish-style building that said FESTIVAL MEXICANO.

We parked and met the boys inside, then were joined by many others that I wasn't expecting including Tyler Oakley and Sawyer Hartman. It's not a party without the drunk youtubers!

We spent almost three hours at the restaurant (which was insanely good) and then split up into groups.

On the way home, we passed an ice cream shop.

Jenn stopped the car and turned to us, and we nodded.

It was cool to be so independent, but I had to prove myself. Maybe I'd get drunk once this summer. Maybe two, but that's it. I'm mature. Well, I'm trying to be.

The next morning, Jenn's phone started playing music and Andrea and I woke up. Jenn asked if we wanted anything from Starbucks and then took our orders.

"By the way, Kian's coming over in twenty minutes. He said he has to tell you guys something, I don't know." Jenn shrugged and left.

"What? Kian?" Andrea looked around, still half asleep. I laughed.

"Kian, yeah. He'll be here soon. You might want to get ready." I told her, causing her to spring out of bed and throw some decent clothes on. I did the same.

A few minutes later, Kian arrived at the door. I let him inside, saying hello. He rushed in, panicked.

"What's wrong?" Andrea asked, entering the room. Kian shook his head.

"Andrea, I want to go to the beach with you." He said.

Andrea and I stared at each other for a second, then began laughing histerically.

"What?" She asked, confused. "Kian, I'm your girlfriend. Sure we can go to the beach, what's all this about?"

Kian sighed. "There's something else. It's hard to say, though he doesn't want me to but it's the only thing i can do." He said, looking nervous.

"What is it?" I asked.

"JC-"

"I'm home!"
