The teenage orphan [Being edited]

13. Youtube

I woke up, took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I dried my hair and brushed it out, I put on mascara then put on my glasses.

I put on my plain jean short shorts, and a pinnie from my old school. I rushed downstairs and saw Michelle cooking breakfast.

"Morning Michelle!" I yelled while hugging her from behind. "Hello darling, mind helping with the plates?" She asked. "Nope not at all." I said.

I picked up the plates of food and placed them on the table. "Come on everyone, breakfast!" She yelled. Everyone then came running and sitting in their designated spots. "Guys I'm going to head to work now, see you later." She said.

"Are you not going to eat?" Thomas asked. "There's coffee and food at work." Michelle said. All of the kids looked upset. Barely touching their food. Well except for Derek. "Michelle, can you just stay and eat breakfast here? You still have like an hour till you gotta be at work." I said.

"But it's a 20-30 minute drive hun." She said. "Exactly, you have so much time to spare." I said.

She looked at all of the kids. "Yeah sure, I guess a pancake or two won't hurt." She said sitting down and smiling. Everyone smiled at each other and we all continued to eat.

A few minutes later we finished eating and that's when Michelle left. I took all the dishes, rinsed them off, and then put them in the dish washer and turned it on.

We all took a seat in the living room and turned on the Tv. Lily hopped onto my lap and we turned on Americas Got Talent. Derek kept on looking at me.

I'm still a little but mad at him, for making Jack cook for everyone. A ton of things could've happened. At 7 o'clock all our tutors came in.

Zack came in and kissed my cheek. "Let's go." He said pulling me up. We walked up to my room and to day was our regular algebra day.

*8:20*

"Ugh whys algebra so hard?" I complained to Zack. "It's hard for most people." He said laughing.

I took out my laptop and went on Youtube. "So have you talked to Derek yet?" He asked. "Nope and I'm not planning to." I said clicking onto my profile. "Why not?" Zack asked.

"I hold grudges and Lily could've died." I said. "True." Zack said. "Zack can we go to the mall? I need to buy a tripod." I said.

"A tripod? For what?" He asked while grabbing his car keys. "I want to start up my Youtube channel again." I said. "You have a Youtube?" He asked.

"Well I never post on it anymore or anything." I said. "I have one too, but it's usually with two of my other friends. I never post individual videos." He said. "You should. You get to connect more with your viewers." I said.

I fixed my hair really quickly and we walked downstairs. "Does anyone need anything? Zack and I are heading out!" I yelled while walking down the stairs

"NO!" Everyone yelled at once. "Is everyone sure?" I yelled out. "YEAH!" They all replied. I took my sunglasses and walked outside and sat in the shotgun of Zack's car.

We head over to Best Buy and buy a tripod along with lights for the right lighting. We then, well I then went shopping and Zack followed and helped me choose out clothes. After that, we went and got some smoothies.

We drove home and I ran up to my room and set up the lights and the tripod. I attached my camera to the tripod and sat on the window sill. I set up my laptop and everything like that. I opened the window behind me and clicked record. I connected my camera to my laptop so it would upload while I was recording.

Zack sat behind the camera. Smiling at me.

"Hey guys to my 925,000 subscribers, I'm sorry I haven't made a video in like forever. A lot of things have happened to me, and this is just a video of my explaining everything. Mostly for my friends back in New York who needs some explaining." I said to the camera.

I looked at Zack and he nodded and smiled at me. Mitch and Thomas then came in and sat on the bed.

"So as some of you know, my 18th birthday was on May 25th. Wow it was my 18th birthday, I should've been happy. No, that's not how it went for me. On that same day at about 1 in the morning, a huge fire started in my house and I lost my parents and my twin siblings." After I said that. Logan and Morgan stepped into the room.

"I had to stay overnight in a police station. The firemen were only able to save some of my belongings, including a picture of my family. The only picture I have of them. Besides the ones on my camera and laptop. That night I got no sleep at all. The fire happened at about 1 in the morning. I will never ever forget that day. The day where my house burned down into flames."

I looked over at everyone sitting on the bed. Lily, Jack, and Eli were sitting there too.

"Sure most of you are now thinking. 'Then why's there such a beautiful view behind you?' That's because I was transferred from New York, to California. No orphanages in New York would take in an 18 year old because it would be hard to get rid of me. But with the help of my Officer, she helped me find a orphanage with the most wonderful kids ever."

They all smiled at me and I saw Derek and Cat standing in the doorway.

"I am so glad I was placed in this orphanage, because the people who I'm around are beyond amazing. I would like to introduce them all to you." I said smiling. All the kids and Zack came and sat in the frame. I looked at Derek and Cat. "You guys are part of this too." I said with a small smile. They both came and sat in the frame.

"This is Lily, Morgan, Logan, Mitch, Thomas, Eli, Jack, and Derek. They are all actually part of the orphanage. Oh darn it, I should've added ages. You know I'll put their ages in the down below. As you can see there are two others that are not in the family. That is Cat, Derek's girlfriend and this is Zack, my...." I paused for a little.

"HER BOYFRIEND!" Lily yelled out and everyone laughed. "Yeah, my boyfriend." I said smiling at Zack. Zack then put his arm around me and a few seconds later he took his arm back.

"Well so these people are honestly like some of the best in my entire life. Our orphanage mother is Michelle, but she is working right now. Okay anyway, so the point of this video was to catch all of you up on what has been going on, and to tell you that I will be posting more on this channel. Thanks for watching, and I guess I'll see you soon. Bye!" I said covering the lens with my hands.

I clicked record again to stop the recording. I unplugged my camera and started to edit it. I added background music and then started to upload it to youtube.

I laid down on my bed with everyone sitting around me. "I love you all so much." I said smiling at them. Zack places his arm around me and kissed my cheek.

Everyone then piled on top of me and hugged me.
