Prologue – Becoming a Youtuber

Lexi's POV

'Comment on the down bar below, if you like it give it a thumbs up if you don't well too bad. I will see all of your sexy faces next week…' Marcus said to his camera. What he didn't know is that I'm about it copy him with his 'bye' in his video. We were just doing a truth or dare video

'BYEEEEE!' I screamed copying how Marcus usually says it. He shot up from where he was sitting and tickled me on my sides. Damn Marky Butt Butt, he knew full well that I hated being tickled and I'm extremely ticklish. 'MARCUS LLOYD BUTLER GET YOUR FAT ASS OFF ME! YOU BETTER DELETE THIS PART FROM THE VIDEO'

'NEVER!'

'YES YOU WILL MARCUS LLOYD BUTLER'

'FINE!' he mumbled. Thank god, I got up and brushed the invisible dust on my body. Anyways time to get on the guitar to relax just to sing. I started to sing Payphone by Maroon 5.

'I'm on the payphone trying to call home. All my change spent on you. Where have the times gone. Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two.' I sang twirling my chocolate brown hair.

'Lexipoo create a singing channel so we can be youtubers together!' Marcus whined, he knew I didn't want to create one as I already got some hate for being his best friend whom was a girl. I grimaced. He saw my look… 'Pleasee Lexipoo, I'll tickle you if you don't start one.' I glared at him. Damn boy he knew full well I hated being tickled. 'I'll do anything for you as long as it's agreeable.' That seems like a good offer. I was contemplating, should I do this? But what if I get hate? My mind was still deciding. Start. No. Start. No. Ugh screw this if it gets that bad I can just delete it. However there is one good side to this, I can use Marcus as a slave and my shopping buddy. He hates shopping with me as I drag him into clothes stores.

'Fine. You are helping me create one though and should I do a cover now of Payphone?' I wondered. I saw his lips curl into a smile I knew the answer. It was a yes, I would be singing a cover now. 'Well then go get my guitar you fat ass.'

A week later...

OH MY GOD! I just hit a million views on my cover of Payphone on my new channel heyitslexi and reached to a 20 million followers on twitter. I have to call Marky and tell him the good news. I dialed his number event though he lived next-door ring ring. He picked up.

'MARCUS BUTLER I JUST REACHED A MILLION VIEWS ON MY VIDEO AND I HAVE A MILLION SUBCRIBERS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!' I screamed down the phone. He chuckled. 'THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!'

'Your welcome Lexipoo! Now shall we go out and celebrate? I will text the crew (the crew as in; Zoe, Louise, Alfie, Jack, Finn and Caspar), we can go to Mario's Pizzeria! Can Drew come?' He said on the other line. Drew couldn't as he had to revise for a test. YES! Mario's Pizzeria! He's like a father to me since he knew my mother when she was younger! They were friends since they were kids, our family and Mario grew closer ever since our mum died. 'The dinner is tonight by the way, I'll be outside your door at 7pm sharp!' I chuckled, we said our goodbyes as I started to get ready since it was 5.30 already. But first I need to update my twitter. I had a lot of followers since I was Marcus Butler's best friend but I gained more since I started my channel. I updated my tweet saying 'THANKS YOU GUYS FOR MAKING MY VIDEO TO A MILLION VIEWS! GOING OUT WITH marcusbutlertv, zozeebo, pointlessblog, sprinkleofglitr, jacksgap, finnharries and caspar_lee FOR A CELEBRATORY DINNER! LOVE YOU ALL XOXO!', satisfied with my tweet I uploaded it.

'DREW! I'm going out with Marcus and the crew for a celebratory dinner since my cover reached a million views!' I yelled out of my door, I heard my brother yell out a reply. I started to go into my walk in closet choosing a white sleeveless blouse, a leather jacket, my blue skinny jeans and a pair of flats. I didn't want to wear heels tonight. It's annoying. I started a bath with my favourite strawberry scented bubbles. I started humming to the tune to Hall of Fame by The Script ft. Will. .

After soaking for 30 minutes, I decided to let all the water out then proceeded to take a shower before I started to prune. I belted out the lyrics to What Makes you Beautiful, as I heard my older brother yell 'SHUT UP LEX I'M TRYING TO STUDY!' Oops, I better shut up now.

I hurried my shower. I got out, dried myself then changed into my clothes then to blow dry my hair. I brushed my long curly chocolate brown hair down. My hair was dry now, I plugged in my curling iron and started to curl my hair. Curling just enough for it to have loose curls or wavy instead of having it all frizzed up. Bleugh, I hate it when I have frizzled hair. That happens when it gets to humid. This happens a lot considering this is England.

I started my makeup, I applied some black mascara on my eye lashes. My eye lashes were naturally long but doesn't mean I would like to make it longer. I added some blush onto my cheeks making it a bit rosy. I don't like wearing a lot of make up unless I'm going clubbing or a party. I added some pink lip gloss. I chose my little brown leather bag which was a shoulder bag but small. I emptied out all the unnecessary stuff then packed my phone, earphones, some cash, lip gloss and some tissues. I sprayed on some perfume making me smell a bit but not too much that it made people cringe.

Damn I still had 15 minutes, I went to my laptop and scrolled through twitter. People were saying 'Congratulations' and other nice messages from people. There were some hate, I'm not surprised though. To me this isn't that frightening because I was Marcus Butler's best friend. I replied to some tweets saying thanks and followed some back. I went to check my tumblr which had a lot more followers since my youtube video, but mines wasn't going to change to how other famous people's tumblr's were. I'm going to stay as a summer blog. I reblogged and queued some pictures. I forgot something, I went to my long mirror and took a picture of myself. Damn I look good. I uploaded this on twitter and said 'what I'm wearing tonight for dinner' looking good huh?' Immediately got some retweets and some tags saying I looked good.

Ding Dong

The bell rang I shot off my chair and heard my brother yell that he was going to open the door. As I walked downstairs I heard Drew and Marcus giving each other bro hugs and general talk.

'Looking good sis! Heard about your video congratulations. I'm proud of you. Mum would've been so proud of you sis! Heck if dad was at home right now he would've been proud' My brother said with tears in his eyes. I reached out for a hug. He's been taking care of me mostly since my dad is a famous lawyer and is always busy with work. Don't get me wrong, he hasn't abandoned us or anything. We understand he's busy with work so that he has money for our school fees, for our housekeeper Natalia who was an Hispanic woman who had been with us since mum and dad got married, she was on holiday for a week to visit her family. We've always been urging her to move her family here and we will pay for their tickets and they can live in a spare flat we have. My dad also has to pay for this big house we live in, 3 story victoria style house. The exact same as Marcus lives in.

'You look beautiful Lexi!' Marcus says looking at me.

'Aw thanks Marcy.'

'Shut up Lexi-Wexi!' He knew full well I hated that nickname. I punched him in the arm hard. 'Damn girl you hit hard.' I glared at him.

'Guys don't you have somewhere to be?' Drew said interfering with our fight. Damn big brother. 'Butler I want her back before 12am understood?' Marcus nodded. 'Good! Now go have fun you two.'

I waved goodbye to my brother giving him a peck on the cheek and saying I would see him later and good luck in revising.

'Milady.' Marcus said opening the car door to the passenger seat to his Black 2014 Camaro. I rolled my eyes.

'Ever the gentleman aren't you Marcy!' He rolled his eyes.

I turned on some music as Marcus started the car and we drove in a comfortable silence to Mario's Pizzeria.

We arrived to Palmscape Mall which was where Mario's was located. As we were walking there were girls crowding around us asking for our signatures and to take pictures with them or to follow them back on twitter. Wow, this would probably be my new life now. After 30 more girls surrounding us we managed to go to Mario's.

'Wow.' I breathed, that was crazy. Marcus chuckled and I gave him my usual glare.

'Well Lex welcome to the life of being a youtuber…'
