"Haeeeyyyy...! Welcome back to our channel..."
"Boring! Can't you say anything else?"
"Can't you stop protesting? It's getting hard to shoot with you."
"Alright! You just create your own YouTube channel, then!"
"Eh, no! Don't sulk, Vasyl!"
"That's right, your face is even ugly when you're sulking — Though you are ALWAYS ugly!"
"Stupid, we're twins!"
"WHAT? I HAVE A TWIN?"
Alesh laughs, she turned off the camera and looks at her friends with annoyed stares mixed with amusement, "If we stay like this, when will we finish shooting?"
"Why should you target anyway? Just have fun!" Vasyl replied, lying down on Alesh's rug. His brother followed, while Eidlan shook his head to see what his friends doing.
"For the sake of fans, Syl, we promised to update every week!" Alesh remind him, capping Vasyl's feet, "do you want your promise got broken?"
"What? No!" Vasyl positioning his body to a sitting position, "never mind, re-take!"
Eidlan rolled his eyes, re-adjusted the camera and positioned his friends. He joined in a few seconds later, finishing the video with his silly friends.
"The editing process has three days left, can you do it?" Eidlan asked while tidying up the camera, he looks at Alesh, who snickered.
"I could finish it in a day," she replied, "you think what am I? An amateur?"
"Bighead." Vasyl repacks his bag, "I'll just leave the laptop?"
Alesh nodded, already busy with her edits. All of her friends look at each other, each taking a pillow and bumping Alesh who immediately shouting. The twins and Eidlan giggled, leaving Alesh alone with the edits.
Half daydreaming, Alesh thought of their YouTube Channel. This was made a few months ago, containing songs that they cover, was made for having fun but blew up since it's easy for them to found fans. In large part because the twins had 'subordinates' that they could ask to help them popularize the video, partly because Alesh had many extended family members who would certainly help, and partly because Eidlan is the smartest student in the school which can easily persuade teachers to popularize their videos. And then Alesh tried to mastering her editing skills with the twins' laptop (also based on having fun at first), then BAM! They took it kinda serious now.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Still editing?"
"Uh-huh." She doesn't need to turn her neck to know who's knocking, "what do you want?"
Afsal, her brother, scowled, "Mom called you, can't you hear?"
Alesh pointed her earphone, "You think?"
"MOOOOMM! Alesh doesn't want to go!"
Alesh quickly removed her earphones and shut her brother's mouth, "Okay! Okay! I'm coming!"
Her parents are waiting in the living room. As she thought a few seconds ago, she's immediately given extensive advice due to her behaviour — Busy with YouTube until her grades didn't get better.
She only half-listened, eyes stayed on her parent's eyes, brain flew off somewhere. YouTube and her grades are two different things. She has learned, she has tried, but she's just too stupid to receive what her parents' want. Anyway isn't it's good enough that Alesh could be known for an achievement? Whether in music, or her ability to edit videos.
