I'm awoken the next morning to the sound of Alex in my room shaking me to get up. 'Emma come on, I made you breakfast,' he says, knowing that food would automatically make me get up. I yawn and sit up and Alex plops down next to me. 'I see Will had slept over last night,' he grins pointing at his jumper that I slept in. 'Yeah he did. And no we didn't do anything if that's what you're wondering,' I say clutching my head because of the headache I had prior to the night before. 'Will told me what Stephen said last night to him before you guys left,' Alex stands up, holding out a hand to help me out of bed. 'Yeah and it was embarrassing. He said to him that I'm good in bed, like how jealous could he get?' I groan.
We both walk out to my kitchen and to my surprise, George and Will are there also, eating breakfast. 'Morning,' they both say in unison, like it was rehearsed before I came in. 'Morning lads,' I yawn once more and I take a seat next to George. I tie my hair up - tangles and all - into a messy bun and Alex hands me a plate of breakfast. I mumble a quick thanks and choke it down since I hadn't had anything to eat since before going out last night.
The silence at the table was awkward. Will would constantly look up and me and smile briefly before looking down again. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I sigh with relief because it would mean I get to ignore the awkwardness. I check and I get a text from Stephen, making me furrow my eyebrows and automatically frown.
Stephen🙃 hi emma, i know this probably is not the way i should try to apologise for last night but honestly i just don't want to see you so angry with me. i am really sorry for last night, i was just overwhelmed with how fast you've gotten over me and how one of me best mates are trying to crack on with the girl i've liked for years. but it's fine now you kind of snapped me into realisation that we broke things off for a reason and even for that im sorry. i hope we can stay friends and keep on good terms yea? x Seen 13.12pm
EmmaCambridge💗 i accept your apology stephen but really last night from what i can remember offended me. i suppose thanks for the compliment that im good in bed lol but still was kinda offended. me and will aren't involved in any kind of way, i was really drunk so i didn't even know what i was doing. and what i said last night isn't even true i didn't break things off over you being controlling or anything like that, i just didn't have time and im sorry too. and yes we can stay friends you idiot x Delivered 13.15pm
Alex catches me smiling at the phone as I send my reply. 'Someone's happy this morning then,' he says kicking me under the table. 'Uhhh yeah just um Stephen text me,' I say hesitantly. I see Will's face from the corner of my eye and he frowns slightly. 'I thought you weren't talking to him because of last night,' George says confused. 'Does everyone know about this?' I turn pink with embarrassment since they're all Stephen's best mates and they've all heard what he's said about me. They stay silent letting me know that they all now know. Will ends up on his phone and once he puts it down, I automatically get a message. I furrow my eyebrows at him but he nods in the direction of my phone.
Will☺️ fancy making a vid later on x Seen 13:20
I look up from my phone and he grins in my direction. I type a quick reply back to him.
Emma🥰 yeah sure when and where Seen 13:21
Will☺️ come round mine at about 3ish x Seen 13:21
Emma🥰 perfect :) Seen 13:22
Will and I both look up again and smile at each other putting our phones down. George and Alex stare at us. 'What?' I say realising how obvious it looked that we were texting one another from across the table. 'Nothing. But George and I are gonna make a video now aren't we mate?' Alex says standing up nodding at George to get up. 'Sure. I'll see you guys later then,' George says confused but plays along. They both leave the apartment, leaving me and Will.
'Didn't want to have to ask in person, I'd get the piss taken out of me,' he says laughing and standing up to put the dishes in my sink. 'It's alright,' I smile. 'What's the video then?' I curiously ask standing up to stretch. 'New This Week on the Internet. Thought it might be a laugh to have someone famous on,' he jokes. As I begin to walk out of the kitchen I shout, 'Well, Will Lenney, I'm not all what I seem.' And just as I was about to close the door to get ready I hear Will whisper to himself. 'Emma Cambridge, you're gonna drive me mad.'
It's like there's a tornado in my room. Every item of clothing I've ever worn - every scarf, belt, hat - is in a heap on the floor. Trying to make a good first impression is hard. Well, for me. And trying to find an outfit just to do so, would be the hardest part. I want something casual to show off that I'm not just an Instagram model and that I can also be a normal person. I want something that doesn't scream, 'You're trying too hard!'
After a full twenty minutes trying to find something to wear and still not being successful, I hear an impatient Will knock on the door. 'It's not a fashion show you know? It's just a YouTube video.' I get up from the pile of clothes I hadn't even realised I'd been sitting on and open the door. 'Go ahead and set up. I'll meet you at yours in a bit when I'm ready,' I say. He nods and before leaving the apartment he shouts back, 'Enjoy the fashion show!' Once I shut my bedroom door again, I stay with my back up against it. Although I've only met Will for the first time in person last night, he's all I could possibly think about in the moment. I smile and get back on track to find an outfit.
Eventually, I settle on a pair on black adidas leggings, black adidas shirt and my dark brown hair is down and tasseled, with a pair of round sunglasses perched on the my head. I'm wearing a tanned foundation, not too dark for my skin and my face is well contoured and highlighted to hide the fact I'm currently still suffering a hangover. I apply mascara to my naturally long lashes and clear lipgloss to my plump lips. While getting ready, I didn't fully understand whether I was trying to impress Will's YouTube audience or Will himself. But I settled for his audience since I wasn't going to let a boy define my appearance today. I take a quick picture for instagram and upload it before leaving for Will's.

Gee had spent the night with her boyfriend, meaning Will is the only person at home. Gee and Will have shared their flat for a couple of months now and I find it strange that I've never even met him while I was there. Probably because of his YouTube thing and he's constantly making videos.
I knock on his bedroom door and walk in to find Will scrolling through Twitter on his computer. 'Finally!' He jumps up to get to his setup. I giggle and take the seat next to him as he records the start of the video straight away.
'Right so, as always the following clips you're about to see have all been collected over the course of the last seven days, on the Internet. And here with me today I have the Emma Cambridge with us!' I laugh and wave to the camera and Will begins to play the videos he gathered and I have to say, from looking at Will recording - he's in his element. He seems so dedicated and happy in front of the camera and we're having such a laugh together - I really haven't felt so happy in ages.
