The Secret Youtuber

Chapter Nine

A/N: Oh my atlanta guys. 250 reads! I'll be quite honest, I was going to give up, but seeing that many reads motivated me! Here's chapter nine, and sorry I haven't updated for like a week!

"You missed the exit!" Alex laughs, pointing at the mall out the window. I smile and shake my head.

"Why did we let him drive again?" Liam asks, putting his hand on my seat and pulling himself forward to ask me.

"I have no clue." I whisper back, blocking the side of my mouth with my hand. I glance over at Sean who's smiling and shaking his head.

"You guys did let me drive." He chuckles, and I straighten out myself in the chair before playfully rolling my eyes.

"This is the worst idea I think any of us have had." Straub comments and laughs. I smirk and look back at him. "What?" He laughs again, putting his hands up.

"Okay, Sean, just take this exit and we'll loop around." Alex points to the next exit. Sean nods and takes the exit. With Alex's instruction and Seans 'amazing' driving skills, we were at the mall in no time. The dumb robot surprisingly knows his way around for not knowing how to drive.

I can't contain myself as I hop out of the car. I get very antsy after being in a confined area for more than thirty minutes, which is the same reason why my Cube episodes have so many cuts and are posted every other day. I run around to the other side and jump up and down as they step out of the car.

"Come onnn!" I whine, and Mitch grabs my shoulders to stop me from jumping. It works. Liam laughs and pats my back. I guess he can see on my face how antsy I am.

"Wait." I stop in my tracks while they continue to walk towards the entrance. "This is my first time being in public since the face reveal." What if they're watching me? I can't do this. This is too much. What if he finds out? He'll come to get me. I know he will. He'll find any way to make his way to me again.

"Uh, Ainsley," Alex waves his hand in front of my face. I snap out of whatever trance I was in and look at him. "Are you okay?"

I can't find words, so I just nod. Shut up, Ains. Just have fun. I know they're all still looking at me, so I smile and walk past them. "What?" I question, turning around and walking backwards.

"N-nothing." Mitch answers, then catches up with me. "Yo, Ainsley, look out!" He shouts, running to me and grabbing my shoulders. I gasp as I hear a car speed right behind me. I look into his eyes, and his eyes are as wide as mine are. He doesn't let go until we both calm down. I fix my shirt sleeves and brush myself off. "Fucking idiots." Mitch mutters, running a hand through his hair.

"Well, I'm still alive, aren't I?" I smile, although I was quite startled. I'm still shaking a bit. I somehow manage to somewhat calm down before heading inside of the large mall. I open the door and walk inside, then wait for the guys to come in.

"Where to first?" Alex asks, sliding his hands in his pockets. I look to the others for a moment before turning on my heel to find a map guide. I finally find one and walk towards the map. I put a hand on my hip and  look at the list of stores. Yeah, I've lived here for a while, but I've never had the courage to come to the mall. Hence my lack of new clothes.

"Hmm, no lumberjack stores." I hear Liam joke behind me. I peek over my shoulder to see the guys all huddled together, pointing to the map in front of me.

"How about we just walk around and whatever stores we want to go into, we go into?" I suggest, making a quick turn around to face them.

"That sounds dandy." Sean smirks, and the others murmur in agreement. I nod my head in approval.

"Alright then, which way?" I ask in a quick breath. We go left. Nothing really catches my eye. Liam and I chat, since he's walking right beside me. We don't talk about anything in particular. As we pass by a Victoria's Secret, I hear Alex, Mitch, and Sean all giggling and commenting on the model's body. I roll my eyes, and Liam chuckles.

I turn into the next store and they all follow me in. We joke around, but I leave them to look for some clothes. I really need new clothes. I pick out a sleeveless floral blouse and a pair of white washed shorts as the first outfit. I go to the next circle rack, and Mitch pops out of the middle and I squeal.

"The hell?" I join in with his laughter. "Get out of there, ya goof!" I manage to say through a fit of laughter. He begins to crawl out, dragging shirts off the rack with him. I groan, and he laughs even harder. I pick up his mess and hang it all back up, then proceed to check out.

"Did you get anything?" I ask the guys as I grab the bag and put my card back in my pocket.

"Ya." Mitch replies with a huge grin. "A shirt." He begins laughing and clapping his hands as he laughs.

"Dude that joke isn't even funny!" Alex groans. "No one even understands it." He mutters, Mitch still laughing. I roll my eyes and walk out of the store.

The rest of the mall trip is spent buying clothes, gifts, decorations, and little toys that we, being immature, could not handle leaving behind. I'll probably lose mine before the night is over.

"The food court here sucks. Let's go eat at the joint!" Alex says, raising a fist triumphantly in the air, his bags in his other hand. We all cheer and raise our fists in the air with the same triumphant spirit as he. We walk back to the car and put our belongings in the trunk. A successful mall trip with no one recognizing me, just how I like it. Maybe doing a face reveal isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

We're off to the joint--and Sean definitely isn't driving again.
