Something New

Chapter Two: Reactions

*Dan's POV*

I'm not sure why I did it. I had never even posted a video in my life before, but Phil talked to into it. I was awkward and shy and in no way entertaining, but I slowly gained subscribers.

I had been on YouTube for about 2 months under the name danisnotonfire before I posted that video for Tyler Oakley. I was crazy to think he'd pick this awkward 20 year old, who was obsessed with llamas, but I didn't post that video alone.

Phil had somehow managed to walk in as I was recorded and it hit me that this video would be better if he was there. It always was. Phil gave me the confidence to begin Youtube, so having him in my videos definitely made me more comfortable. Plus, if Tyler picked us, it would be easier to make videos with two people versus one.

*One Week Later*

We did it.

I did it.

He picked us.

He picked me.

Tyler Oakley had emailed Phil and I telling us that we had been chosen for his new channel.

Naturally, I ran to Phil. I brought my laptop to Phil's room ad screamed. I screamed out of joy. Out of excitement. But I also screamed out of fear. Tyler Oakley is a big YouTuber. He has a big fan base and this is going to change everything.

"Phil, I'm scared."

*Phil's POV*

"Phil I'm scared." Dan said quietly. It was quiet a change from the yelling he was doing a moment ago.

"What's wrong Dan?" I asked, walking over to him and rubbing his upper arm.

"I'm scared. Tyler Oakley picked us and I'm scared. Ha," he chuckled, "this is probably the best thing that's happened to me since I met you and I'm scared."

"That's understandable. Don't worry. I'll be here the whole time." I smiled.

Truthfully, I was scared too. That's a lot of people watching me and my best friend be very socially awkward on the internet. Though, at the same time, it was rather comforting. All those people watching will get to see me and Dan be us. They will get to see people who aren't afraid to be themselves. They will get to see us.

Us.

*Connor's POV*

"Hey what's up you guys? It's Connor. Today's video is going to be a little different. It's directed towards a certain person, Tyler Oakley to be exact."

Then I whispered "If you haven't, please subscribed to him."

"Anyway, hi. It me, Connor. If you can't tell I'm pretty awkward. I love cats, tea, and tumblr. I have been on one other collab account called 'CollabsAtSea' and I loved it." Then I did my signature fast talking and goodbye.

That was my audition video. It was full of my face in random parts of the screen. I was kind of known for jumping all over the screen. I was like a vlogbrother.

When I got the email that i was chosen by Tyler, I kind of cried. I mean not literally, but it was a big deal. It made me realize what the kids I picked for collabatsea probably felt when I picked them.

Happiness. Excitement. Nervousness. Pride. Confidence. Joy.

It was great. I didn't know who else was going to be on the channel, but I knew it was going to be great.

*Hannah's POV*

It was probably a little unfair that me, Grace, an Mamrie got chosen by Tyler, since we were all already friends, but that doesn't mean we didn't deserve it.

Tyler had always said he loved the "trinity's" channels. He loved the drinking and puns that came with us. We were like that in person too. We all had that corny sense of humor that always kept Tyler cackling.

Although he was my friend, I looke up to Tyler (literally.) he was so talented and I was a big fan of his. He knew how to entertain his viewers and he was so open. I really did admire that. My sexuality had never been a secret, just like tyler, but he was so much more comfortable with himself than I was. Hopefully working with him will help me be more confident.

*Grace's POV*

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yesss!

This is so great.

Hannah and Mamrie are my two best friends and doing this channel is going to bring us closer. I just know it.

See, the last few months haven't been very good between us three. Me and Mamrie went on this little trip for a channel and didn't include Hannah. Ever since then, she hasn't been acting the same. I don't know if it's the whole us leaving her thing, or what, but she's been very distant.

Maybe she's jealous of Mamrie. although me and Hannah have always been closer than me and Mamrie. I've always felt a closer connection to Hannah. I don't know if it's her sense of humor, or her confidence, or her beautiful hair, or her cute face- What am I saying?

The point is, I'm happy about Tyler choosing the Trinity.

*Mamrie's POV*

This past week's YDAD was kind of different. Me, Hannah, and Grace haven't done a full Trinity collab in a while.

"Hi, and welcome to You Deserve A Drink. I'm Mamrie Hart and today the person I think most deserves a drink is Tyler Oakley! Unfortunately, Tyler couldn't be here because he's busy trying to pick people for his new channel," I wink dramatically into the camera, "so I have a few special friends to help me out instead. Hannah Hart and Grace Helbig! These two idiots are going to help me make a Gin and Tyler!"

The video continued with the steps to make a simple gin and tonic with a cute little rainbow flag coming out if it. At the end where I usually show the bloopers we explained that that video was our audition for Tyler's channel. Yeah, we were friends with Tyler, but I know Tyler, and I know he was fair about the whole thing. He always talks about how much he loves YDAD, itsgrace, and My Drunk Kitchen. I'm sure it was all professional, which makes me even more happy.

*Troye's POV*

"Gay" "You're not funny" "You're body is so awkward" are just some of the comments I usually get on my videos, but they don't bother me. The way I feel right now has blocked out every rude comment I could ever get. I'm literally floating on a cloud right now.

Tyler Oakley chose me, Troye Sivan. Awkward "troyesivan18." The kid who taught his viewers about green screen paint.

I had always been a fan of Tyler, so this was a kind of a big deal. I looked up to him, in a way. He was able to be open about his sexuality. I mean, yeah, my family knew I was gay, but my viewers didn't. Tyler radiates gay, and apparently so do I, but I would never admit it.

My video was so dumb. It was seriously just me siting at my desk, my fairy lights shining in the background, and me talking directly to Tyler. I can't even begin to explain how nervous I was to post that video. I know I shouldn't have been, but I felt like this was a whole new thing for me. It was something new. It's like it was going to change my entire life.

And it will.
