"I feel like we've been making so many videos recently that we need to just make our own channel, Jasmine," Sasha called from where the group sat. It was only girls for right now, since the boys were all with Mark and had their own camera, which could only mean one thing. It was a girls against boys challenge. Ever since Jasmine's friend had gotten increasingly popular on her channel, she involved them more. Not because she wanted to make money off of them or anything but because she simply enjoyed their company and frankly, making videos with them was way more fun than making them by herself. So, whenever she got the chance, she'd get them to make a video with her. And as much as some of them whined and complained about it, she knew they enjoyed it just as much as she did and that's why they let her drag them into her crazy ideas.

"That's not a bad idea, Sasha. We could make our own little side channel so that we don't just end up posting everything on my channel and making other people mad," Jasmine giggled as she set the camera down on the table in the warehouse and took a few steps back, letting it continue to record what was happening in the room.

"I thought you said people liked these videos, Jasmine," Aria replied, prepping before going into a series of turns, no doubt something that no one in the room could label. Jasmine sighed and put her hands on her hips, looking over at Aria.

"Well, yeah, but, like, it is supposed to be my channel about me and I think all of my recent videos are about all of us in the club and it'd probably be nice to have them all on their own little channel, don't you think?" She asked, waving her hands in the air for really no other reason other than the fact that she just sucked at self control.

"What would we even call it?" Isa said, sitting down in one of the chairs, where Monet sat down right in front of her. The room was silent for a second while everyone thought about it.

"We're all suicidal teenagers anyway," Cleopatra called out without skipping a beat, her enthusiasm about the name clearly more than what it needed to be. Everyone stopped, just staring at her before she realized what she had just said. "Oh my gosh! No! Sorry! That's an inside joke that Bailey and I had and... Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I wasn't even thinking. You'll have to take that out of this now. Sorry Jasmine." Not far from her, Kyra started to laugh, hugging her stomach and pulling her knees up to her chest. She probably didn't laugh much. Eventually, a few other people joined and then they were all just a mess after that.

"Okay, but, like, aren't we supposed to be planning things out?" Aria eventually asked. She'd been a part of the club for only a few days and it was clear that she was going to be staying for a while. She fit in nicely with Sasha, Leo, Isa, and Anthony, but she did get along well with everyone, which was good considering that the club was a very small place to be.

"Right, right. We do have to beat the boys," Jasmine said, flipping her hair over her head so that she could pull it up in a ponytail.

"I'm really looking forward to making Mark buy me ice cream, not gonna lie," Monet agreed, nodding in Jasmine's direction. Cleopatra chuckled a bit.

"I think that you enjoy making him do anything for you, if I'm being honest," She replied, tilting her head at Monet. The girl in question looked over at her with a slight tilt of her head.

"I'm not sure I know what you're talking about." Cleopatra just shook her head and Jasmine was quick to hit the pause button on the video camera.

"What's she's saying is that you like him, Mo. You're not that dumb. I mean, the Good Sir is rather attractive," Jasmine said with a giggle, sitting down next to her.

"He isn't though! He's not attractive," Monet protested, her cheeks flushing and she shifted a bit. Probably not from embarrassment but definitely from being the center of attention. "It's only just a little... Nevermind."
