When the four of us got to our hotel, there were fans in packs outside, there was a lot of screaming. I thought it was honestly a bit stupid to keep all the YouTubers in the same hotel and same floor seeing as if somebody found out what floor we were on it wouldn’t be that difficult to get into the hotel and find our room. I had no issue with the fans, I loved them. But when you’re trying to shower and there’s screaming girls banging at your door, it can get a bit much.
I said hi to people and took selfies, we walked into the lobby to see a swarm of people. And not just regular people.
My kind of people.
Youtubers.
I was going to be staying in a hotel with creative people, some who are geniuses at playing pranks, others who are so funny I nearly wet myself and some who are the kindest, most generous people ever. I was very excited for this upcoming week.
I walked up to the front desk and checked us in. Just as I was doing so I felt a tap at my shoulder, I turned to see a tall dark haired boy shoving a camera in my face,
“Jake!” I squealed and he hugged me. Jake was a vlogger too, and a pretty hilarious one at that. We had tweeted each other a couple of times and we watched each other’s videos a lot.
“You’re a lot taller in person you know that?” He laughed at me.
“And you’re a lot more American” I said. He clutched a hand to his chest,
“Was that supposed to be an insult?” he gasped, still with the camera in my face
“Are you insulted?”
“No”
“Then I guess not” I sighed sarcastically. He laughed, “Vlogging, I like it” I said gesturing toward his camera,
“Everyone is, it’s so the viewers at home can watch the same convention over and over, from a slightly different angle each time. Aren’t you vlogging?”
“Long story, but my camera’s in my bag so I’ll have to start when I get to my room”
Jake smiled at me, put his camera away and hugged me again,
“It’s so weird not seeing you on the other side of a screen” he explained
“I know exactly how you feel.” I said looking around the room, “I’ve never met anybody here before, I’ve only ever watched their videos, never actually spoken to them before.”
“Well there’s a party tonight in one of the function rooms downstairs, I can meet you guys and we can all go and meet other people and be social?”
“Ugh social interaction” I said sarcastically
“I feel you, but come on, it’ll be fun”
“Okay, I’ll come” I said as the woman at the check in desk handed me two keys. I hugged Jake goodbye, gave him my room number and got in the lift with the girls.
All of the corridors looked exactly the same and it was so difficult to find our rooms. We eventually got to rooms 224 and 226, next door to each other. Lori and I roomed together while Sam and Violet were in the other room.
I ran through the door and collapsed onto the bed nearest to the huge window.
“Comfortable?” Lori asked, cocking her head to the side. I launched myself off of the bed and went for my suitcase where I found that Sam had packed my vlogging camera. I turned it on and pressed record.
“Hey guys, it’s me!” I smiled “So as you probably noticed. I’m not in my room. Or my apartment. Or London. Actually I’m in a different country. I am in Los Angeles in the US of A. I had no idea we were coming here until like, 14 hours ago?” I looked over at Lori for confirmation and she nodded “Lori’s here by the way” I said and turned so they could see her,
“Hey!” she smiled and waved
“Anyway, I’m in LA for a bunch of conventions that are happening. I’m here for Playlist Live, I’m here for Digifest and I am here for Vidcon! I’m way too excited about this. And not only that, we’re here with our wonderful best friends Luke, Michael, Calum and Ashton to see them perform at a couple of shows hopefully and hang out. I’m going to be collaborating with a few American YouTubers. I actually met Jake in the lobby earlier for the first time ever which was awesome because I’ve been wanting to meet him for ages. I’ve been tweeting back and forth between some people arranging some collabs over DM’s and texts but MOST IMPORTANTLY,” I took a deep breath, “I am here to meet some of you guys! I’ve never been over to the US so I’ve never met any of my US somebodies” somebodies is what I called my fans. Because my name – ImNotAdi – was sort of saying ‘I am nobody’ they are the somebodies. “Which I’m super excited to do so yeah.”
Just as I was about to finish a door in our room flung open and Lori and I screamed, in jumped Sam and Violet laughing at us, Sam holding her camera.
“That’s not funny!” I yelled, turning my camera on them
“Oh you should’ve seen it from this side” she was still laughing.
Turns out we had conjoining rooms.
Fabulous.
We turned off our cameras and all talked about we wanted to do.
“I think this is going to be incredible” Lori gushed
“Tell me about it, we’re going to spend so much time together” Sam beamed
“Sam we do that enough already” Violet laughed
“Yeah but this time we’ll be doing something other than stuffing our faces with pizza and watching movies” Sam said
“I want to go to Disneyland” I smiled
“There’s one in Anaheim we could go to. It’s about and hours’ drive I think” Lori nodded excitedly
“Disneyland, really?” sighed Violet
“Yeah, what’s wrong with Disneyland?” I asked
“Nothing, it’s just, and hours’ drive just to get there and we have so much stuff to do, we won’t have much time to stay there” she was right
“Yeah I guess” Sam sighed
“Do you think the guys will want to do anything with us?” asked Lori
“I’m sure they will” nodded
“I don’t know, they have a few shows to go to and stuff” Sam pointed out
“Well I guess not then” I said
“Okay, cutest out of all four of them, go” Sam said very randomly
“Whoa what?!” Violet sat up quickly and all of our faces dropped
“Oh come one guys!” Sam laughed, “Don’t tell me you don’t think they’re cute”
“Well…” Lori said and Violet and I flicked our heads toward her, glaring, “No!” she quickly said, “No they’re not cute!”
Sam raised an eyebrow and chuckled
“Sam that’s so wrong! They’re our best friends for god’s sake!” I gasped
“Well I think Ashton’s cute” she giggled.
“Well obviously you think Ashton’s cute. He’s your boyfriend you numbskull”
“I would appreciate you not giving me abuse thank you very much”
We all laughed. I started to think for a while. Did I think any of the guys were cute?
Michael? Yeah, he was cute in a kitten way. Not that I was denying he was hot. He was. But I don’t know, I’ve known him for too long to look at him any differently.
Calum? I know him well but he’s – still – too good of a friend.
Ashton? Sam.
So that leaves… Luke.
Did I think Luke was cute?
Yes
Wait, what?
WHAT
Did I just admit that? Did I just think those words? I guess I did. He was hot. And he was funny. And he saved me from getting caught by the police guy.
I wonder if he thinks I’m cute…
We came to the conclusion that we were way too tired to actually go somewhere. The clock said it was 4pm but we had just had a very uncomfortable 12 hour flight and we were 8 hours behind regular time and I wasn’t prepared to do the maths to work out the time just then in the UK.
We got changed into our sweats and pyjama’s and got into bed. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
