Chapter 1 - Pizza and Nudists

A/N - Hi everybody! So this is my first story, I've been working on it for ages and it still isn't done but I'm really happy with it so far. This first chapter is really just to give you background about the characters and their relationships with each other so it's pretty boring but i will update tomorrow to give you a WAY more interesting chapter.

hi this is me from the future and i would like to say that i finished the book. it's good i swear to you, just give it a chance because the beginning is slow but it gets WAY better.

But for now, meet Adi.

"Hey world!" I smiled into the camera, "It's me, I'm here, on your screen, hello"

I've had my YouTube channe,l "I'm not Adi" for about 3 years now and I've racked up around 400,000 subscribers, which is absolutely insane. I started it when I was 14 and I've loved making videos ever since. I'm not a prank channel, or a beauty guru. I'm a vlogger. And I make pretty funny videos too, I love to make people smile and this was my way of doing it.

"Today I have a story for you all, so gather round kids and let me tell you about the time I accidentally went to a nudist beach." I began.

I told the story and laughed at the stupid jokes I made and cringed when it was getting embarrassing,

"He must've jogged past me about 6 times with his tackle hanging out, he was like 70. But what made it worse was that he was completely nude, apart from a hat" I cringed again.

When I finished the story I ended the video,

"I hope you enjoyed this video and now you can see why I have repressed memories. If you did enjoy it please give it a huge thumbs up AND if you want to see more then you can subscribe for weekly videos. I've not been Adi and I will see you next week, BYEE" I walked up to the camera while saying bye and covered it with my face before turning it off.

I collapsed onto my bed and tried to decide if I should start editing now or procrastinate.

I think you can guess what I chose.

I walked downstairs to find my three roommates, Violet, Lori and Sam. They were vloggers too and we moved in together about 2 months ago in an apartment in the centre of London. We met through YouTube and they were my best friends.

"Have you filmed?" asked Sam, not looking up from the magazine she was reading.
"Yeah" I said, collapsing on the sofa beside her. I turned on the TV and propped my feet up. "Do you guys want to order pizza? I want to order pizza"
"I could eat some pizza" Violet said.
"Me too" Lori added.
"Guys it's 11pm" Sam whined
"We're hungry though" I replied and got up to get the phone so I could order. I called the pizza place,

"Hello, Antonio's. This is Joe" said a voice on the other end of the phone,
"Hey Joe its Addison"
"Oh hey, the usual?"
"How did you know" I said sarcastically
"I'll be over in about 10 minutes"
"Thanks!" and I hung up

I walked around the apartment. I wanted to do something. I didn't want to just sit around all day and do nothing, which is what I had done all day and now it was too late to go out anywhere.

"Have you called Ash?" I asked Sam
"No" she muttered
"Why?" I said
"Because he's busy"
"How would you know if you haven't called him" I raised an eyebrow
"Because he's recording"
"At 11 o'clock?"
"Yes"
"Sammie"
"He's busy Adi! For god's sake let it go already!" Sam yelled.

I slumped back into the sofa cushions. Ashton was her boyfriend. He was leaving for tour soon and she was kind of mad at him for leaving her. But what was he supposed to do? Give up on his dreams just to keep her happy? No way. The girls and I were trying to get her to talk to him, to no avail.

I looked over at the others and they just sort of shrugged at me. I sat back on the sofa while I waited for Joe with the pizzas. Then I had an idea. I pulled out my phone and dialed Mikey's number.

"What are you doing?" Sam asked, still not looking at me
"Calling Michael" I said and walked into the kitchen before she made me hang up. I heard her yell at me from the sofa,
"What are you doing?! Stop! Why are you calling him?!" she screamed, but she still didn't follow me, I knew she wanted to see Ash.

"Hello?" I heard Mikey
"Hey! It's Adi!" I smiled even though he couldn't see me.
"Oh hey, I need to talk to you about Ashton"
"Yeah, I need to talk to you about Sammie" I grumbled
"What's up?"
"You first"
"Well, he's acting all weird and won't talk to us properly, he's just lying in bed all day and then only getting out when we need to go somewhere and" Michael lowered his voice "he's not giggling. Why isn't he giggling?"
"Yeah, I think I can answer that" I said
"Go on"
"Sam's really pissed at him for leaving for tour. She says it's because he's leaving her but I think she's worried he's going to find someone else. She thinks that if she doesn't call him, or talk to him at all, it will make him leaving a lot easier. I feel like it's doing the opposite"
"What do we do?" Michael sighed.
"Well, I just ordered pizza from Antonio's, you guys should come round, force them to be in the same room as each other and then BOOM, they're talking again."
"What if that just makes it awkward?"
"Are you really turning down a free pizza?"
"Point taken. We'll be round in 5" and he hung up.

I walked back into the living room where the girls were all sat to see Sam looking at me from over the sofa.

"Well?" she asked
"The guys are coming over" I smiled. She didn't say anything, but a saw a little smile appear on her face. She SO missed Ashton. I would miss my boyfriend too if I hadn't seen him in two weeks.

The pizza turned up a couple of minutes later, I went into the kitchen to cut it up with Lori when I heard the door open.

The guys were here.

I hoped that Sam was okay, I wasn't too sure how she was going to react when she saw Ash.

I walked out of the kitchen with Lori to see she had jumped up into Ashton's arms and he was holding her tightly at the door. I smiled and mentally congratulated myself on my work and went over to the sofas and put the pizza on the coffee table where the others were.

"Move up" I poked Michael and he shuffled over and I sat next to him. I raised my hand for a high five and he gave me one.
"I think we did well" He said, looking at Ashton and Sammie.

I looked over at Luke and Calum who had their eyes focused on the TV and Lori and Violet who were on their phones.

"Aren't we all so social" I said sarcastically, earning a glance from the others. Just as I said that I heard some noises coming from the corner, I looked over to see Ash and Sam having a full on make out session,

"Okay kids, let's keep this PG. You want to do that, go to Sam's room I'm trying to eat over here" I turned back around and got a laugh from everyone else as Ashton and Sam shuffled over and sat in a space on the sofa together.

We all talked for a bit. I was so bored and I wanted to do something. I stretched out onto Mikey,

"I'm bored" I whined.
"And what am I supposed to do" he said, watching the TV and ignoring me.
"I don't know. I want to do something spontaneous something totally unexpected."
"You do realise that by saying that, it's now going to be expected."
"Thanks for the help" I sighed and sat back up. I looked at my phone to check twitter. I replied to some people and favourited and followed. I loved communicating with the viewers, and I liked to watch them freak out a little when I did tweet them.

I never really understood why people freaked out over me, I'm just me. I'm not important and I don't really effect anybody's lives.

*************

A/N - I'm going to be honest with you here this chapter is probably the most boring thing i've ever written but i promise it gets good!
