I quickly set Madison's camera onto the tri-pod that was positioned in front of my bedroom window - this made the lighting perfect for the video. I was still broke as fuck (working at Hot Topic doesn't pay as will as you would think it would), so I couldn't afford my own camera for when I decided to post videos on Madison's channel, so I had to use hers. I was posting more and more videos on the channel lately, so I just decided to join. That was what this video was about.

I decided that the best way to join the channel was to do the best friend tag. You would think I would do this with Madison or Luke (I kind of felt bad for not deciding to do it with either of them, but this other person means the world to me and knows a lot about me), but, no. I chose Calum to do this video with me.

He doesn't know that I have been completely infatuated with him for the past three years, but he's still my best friend out of all of the guys plus Maddie. I would always think that I was ready to tell him my feelings towards him some days, but then I think that it would ruin our beautiful friendship, so I always end up deciding against it.

"Ready?" Calum's voice speaks from beside me. We were seated on the floor beside my bed and were facing the camera. We were too broke to buy all of the lights and stuff like Our2ndLife, JennxPenn, and everyone else had. It was sad, really.

"Yeah, just gotta press record," I said, smiling softly to him. I reach over to the camera and press the red 'Record' button before returning to my spot. I shoo Calum away quickly - I wanted it to be a surprise to who my best friend was for this video, so I'll have to edit that part out later.

"Hi, guys!" I said enthusiastically, waving to the camera like I usually did for my videos. "Today I'm going to be doing the 'Best Friend Tag.' It's only fair that I do it with my best friend of all time, so, may I present to you, cue the drums!" I pause and 'drum' my hands on my thighs before waving my hands to the side, "Calum Hood!"

Calum smiles and walks over before sitting next to me, "I'm the best friend."

"Yes, him, the Asian," I teased, biting my lip in order to hold back a laugh. He put his hand over his chest where his heart is in mock hurt.

"How dare you?"

"They needed to know the truth about you."

"My secrets out now," Calum says, causing us both to erupt into fits of giggles.

"Okay, okay," I say, finally calming down from laughing. "So, the 'Best Friend Tag' is basically where we ask questions to the other person-" "The best friend," Calum interrupts. "Yes, Cal, the best friend," I chuckle slightly before continuing to explain how the popular tag on YouTube works. Once I'm done explaining, I reach over and grab my phone and unlock it.

"What are you doing?" Calum asks, trying to move his head so he can see what I'm looking up on my phone. I click on the Safari app before bringing up the 'Best Friend Tag' questions I found earlier. Calum and I agreed that we were too lazy to make our own, so I found a pretty good website that gave us a decent amount of questions to make the video interesting.

"Bringing the questions, dork," I reply, smirking and looking at him before sticking my tongue out at him, him doing the same.

"Okay, first question. When and how did you meet? I'll let you get this one, Calum," I read off my phone, locking it after before bringing my knees up to my chest and wrapping my arms around them. He smiles towards me before leaning back on his hands.

"It was about five years ago, I believe, and we were at the park, the boys and I," he starts off. So far so good, I think to myself. "I saw you and Madison walking towards us, but not like towards us," he looks at me to see if I get what he's saying. I nod and he continues. "So, I went up and talked to you both and then bam! We're the best of friends!" I cringe slightly, hoping no one saw that. I give Cal my phone for him to read the next question.

"Each other's nicknames?"

I laugh softly, shaking my head, "Calum calls me Maeg all the time, and I only let him call me that. And I'll call him things like Cally and bub sometimes. I dunno, we have a weird friendship." There it is again, damn it Maegan.

Calum laughs, and I smile. That perfect laugh.

"Describe each other in one word," I read off of my phone.

"Dork," Calum says, smiling softly at me as he ruffles my hair. I pout slightly. "Cuddly!" I exclaim, wrapping my arms around his waist as I curl into his side almost immediately. It was true, Calum was always up for a cuddle. I feel Calum wrap his arms around me as well, and I smile. He takes my phone and reads another question.

"Who takes longer to get ready in the morning?"

"Calum does, oh my god! This boy takes, like, twenty damn minutes to do his hair. His hair!" I exclaim, laughing.

"Hey, I don't just wake up this good," Calum says, pretending to flip the hair he doesn't have over his shoulder.

"Sure, bub."

I take my phone and read off yet another question.

"Do you guys have anything matching?"

"We have matching sweaters, I think," Calum says and I nod.

"Ooh, you know what I wanna get, though?" I say, looking at him with excitement in my eyes. I had moved so my head was in his lap.

"What?"

"Matching tattoos."

"Yeah, that'd be sick."

"Right?"

These questions go back and forth between us for who knows how long, and, when I finally decide that it's been enough time, I decide to do my outro.

"Okay, guys, that's all for now," I look at Calum; he's been in plenty of these videos to know what to say next. "And if you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up, and subscribe to Maegan because she's my best friend and gives good cuddles."

"I do."

"She does."

With that, I end the video and go into the tragic editing process before finally uploading the video for the awaiting viewers.

"These comments are hilarious, holy shit!" Michael exclaims. He just watched Cal and I's video, and he was cracking up. Apparently he could 'feel the awkward tension' through his phone. Whatever that meant.

"Yeah, they keep saying that we're their OTP," I reply, smiling slightly to myself. I guess it was kind of selfish of myself to feel all giddy when a fandom of teen aged girls and boys shipped me with my one true love that probably didn't love me back but there was still that really high chance, but, damn did it feel good.

"I dunno about you, but I ship it," Ashton remarks, shooting a cheesy wink my way. I roll my eyes playfully before pushing his shoulder slightly. He kind of got the message that I liked - love - Calum and has been subtly teasing me about it ever since he found out.

It's like a living hell, really.

"I don't know about you guys," I say, stopping mid sentence to yawn. "But I'm pooped. I'm gonna head to bed, okay?"

They all nod, giving me the cue to go up to my room.

I trudge up the stairs tiredly and walk into my room before kicking the door closed with my foot. I stride towards the bathroom and brush my teeth before walking over to my bed and flopping down on it, going into a deep, and peaceful, slumber once my head hits the pillow.
