***Alex Octavia Logan, 21, and Skylar Rose Jones, 20, are best friends that decided to follow their dream and move to LA to become YouTubers. They have been living together in an apartment in LA for almost a year and making videos for their separate channels and their channel they share together, Sky and Alex.***
***A/N- The pictures on the top of each chapter is what Alex wears on her adventures. ***
"Alex. Octavia. Logan. Are you ready for tomorrow?!?" Skylar screams at me, running into my room, and jumping on my bed. Sky has been my best friend since middle school. She was the first person I met when I moved to my new school in New York City from my little hometown in Pennsylvania. She ran up to me right after the teacher introduced me to the class, and from then on, we have been inseparable. She's like my sister.
"Skylar. Rose. Jones. I'm so nervous, but I'm so ready!" I scream back to her. Tomorrow we are going to explore and stay the night at this old, abandoned asylum in LA. That was the first place we wanted to go to when we moved here, but we weren't ready. So, we decided to take on smaller explorations, like abandoned houses, in order to build our confidence.
"We have to run to Target to get the rest of the stuff." Sky says while scrolling through the list we made.
"Okayyyyy." I get up and put on my black chucks and grab my bag. We play rock-paper-scissors to see who has to drive and, of course, I lost. We jump into my car, turn on some Nirvana, and begin our shortish journey to Target.
Because of where our apartment is located, the closest Target is often filled with celebrities and other well-known influencers and content creators. One time, I met Evan Peters and Jenna Marbles, and they were both so incredibly kind. Anyways, Sky jokingly said that we could possibly see the Traphouse boys today because they were also getting ready for a big, surprise overnight exploration, and Colby posted on his Instagram story that they were going to get supplies for their "big night."
Sky is obsessed with the Traphouse boys and all their friends. She watches everyones videos, follows them all on everything, and stalks their social media all day, but her favorite is Colby Brock. She thinks he is so sexy and loves everything she knows about him. I don't really watch their videos or anything, but I can't lie, Colby is very cute.
When we finally get to target, we walk in, grab a cart, and head straight for the snacks. We grabbed everything we wanted and went over to the outdoor section for the actual important stuff. We decided to start walking around Target after we grabbed everything just to see what they have, when we hear a large commotion nearby.
Sky and I look at each other with confusion on our faces and mutually agree to take a peek into the next aisle. We decide to just walk by casually so we don't look "stalkerish". Sky takes the lead and we put on our best poker face. We see the Traphouse boys battling each other with lightsabers and one of the dramatically falling to the ground. As I was taking everything in, my eyes finally land on Colby, who was already looking at me. That's when everything slowed down and it felt like we were the only people there.
Sky began whisper screaming, bringing me back to reality. "Oh my god Alex! That was the boys. Sam and Jake and Corey and... and COLBY! OH MY GOD COLBY FREAKING BROCK WAS LIKE FIVE FEET AWAY FROM ME! Oh my god. I was completely joking in the car, I was not actually expecting them to be here. OH MY GO..." She was totally fangirling, but I zoned out again trying to comprehend what just happened. It felt so much different than when I usually meet someone new, famous or not. I couldn't stop seeing him in my mind, looking back at me, right in the eyes. "Alex? Are you okay? You didn't even react."
"Oh yeah! That was crazy!" I put on a fake smile and do a giddy little jump. We just kept walking around Target, grabbing a couple more things we can bring on our trip, and even more things we didn't need. Once we decided that we've spent enough money, we checked out and headed home.
We spent the rest of the night watching Sam and Colby exploration videos, mostly so Sky could relive the moment at Target, but also too mentally prepare ourselves for tomorrow night. I kept replaying that moment in my head and still had that weird feeling in my gut, but I think I was just excited to see a bigger influencer.
We went to our own rooms to finally get some sleep. The last thing I saw was him.
***Colbys POV***
The boys and I are at Target getting all the essentials for our next exploration. We already grabbed the food and tools we needed, so obviously we got distracted in the toy aisle. Jake grabbed a lightsaber from the shelf and ambushed Corey while he wasn't paying attention.
"Oh you are gonna get it now!" Corey belted out while grabbing the other saber and getting his revenge on Jake. I pulled out the camera and began filming the war that was commencing in the toy aisle. Corey accidentally hits Sam with the saber so Sam grabs two lightsabers and joins the battle. I try really hard to get a good video of what is happening right now, but I'm laughing so hard that the footage is probably horrible.
"HIIIIYAHHHH!" Sam screams as he hits Jake right in the gut, prompting a dramatic death scene. Seconds after the show begins and the battle continues, two girls walk by, confused yet intrigued by the performance in front of them. The girl pushing the cart caught my eye immediately. I swear that she was the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes on. Her beautiful long black hair and her porcelain skin. I had stopped everything. I stopped laughing. I stopped moving. For a second, I think I even stopped breathing. I was overwhelmed by a feeling in my stomach I can't even describe. It was like a scene straight from the movies.
"Dude. Are you okay?" Sam asks while clapping in my face, jolting me out of the trance. When I came back, all of the boys were looking at me with confusion on their faces, while I hear squealing from a distance. I hope that it is her.
"Yeah bro. I'm fine. Are we ready to go?" I clear my throat and smile. The boys all look at each other and shrug it off. We make our way to the checkout, and I look around trying to see if I can find her again, only being met with failure. I have never felt like this before.
I went back to my apartment, still thinking about her. This feeling has not gone away at all. I felt this same way since the moment our eyes met. What is this feeling and why is not going away?
I decided that I needed to go to sleep since I have a pretty big day tomorrow.
The last thing I saw was her.
