Ray's Youtube Career – Chapter 10
It was time to go home, luckily, our flights aren't as early as they were the first time, I woke up on the floor, no wonder I felt a sudden thump in the middle of the night, but it was worth it, watching Ashley sleep peacefully great reward enough for me, I went to the kitchen and saw a waffle maker, I thought 'REALLY NOW I DISCOVER THIS?!' I decided to make some waffles and talk to the guys on skype, it was just a video call with Mitch, everybody else was there, I had to plug in headphones so they wouldn't wake up Ashley
"So sad you guys will be apart." Kara sighs
"It'll be fine, we'll figure something out." I nodded
"Let me guess, she's not ready is she?" Rob smiles
"Nope, not even packed, nor awake, and I bought her plane ticket as well. It Doesn't upset me though, I'll do anything to keep her happy" I showed them a first class ticket for Ashley back to England
"Whoa fancy…" Mat glared at the ticket
"So what are you doing right now?" Justin asked me, looking deeper into the webcam
"Just making some breakfast." I nodded, pulling out strawberries and whipped cream from the fridge 'SERIOUSLY?!'
"How romantic." Louise pushes Justin aside
"It's nothing." I shake my head, they noticed how I sloppily prepared my plate but how neat I set up Ashley's.
"Hold on let me instagram this shiz!" Mitch took a snapshot when I saw looking for some orange juice then when I came back; they acted all sappy and happy again
"What did Mitch do?" I rolled my eyes asked
"Let me just give you a tip…..INSTAGRAM BITCH!" Jerome shouts
"Fucking 9 AM in the morning let me sleep." I could hear Christian cursing in the back; they must have invited him over
"CEO happy as always." Mat nodded
"Mmmmm…" I heard behind me, Ashley was slowly waking up, to a nice smell of waffles, great way to wake up.
"We'll leave you two alone." Jeff waves
"And you Jiffy stay away from my sister." I scolded him, but he knew I was joking
"Awww now I have a nickname…" Jeff pouts as Tom and Taz instantly start calling him that, Justin pushed end call
"So you're a youtuber, stole my heart and cook too?" Ashley gave me a hug from behind.
"Youtuber, im just a 10k scrub, meanwhile you with your 400k subs, you're the real youtuber." I gently rubbed Ashley's hands
"So what else do you manage to do?" Ashley asked as I did the 'gentleman' thing and pulled the chair for her, she sat and stared at her breakfast, I had stacked 2 waffles, put a bunch of whipped cream on top and made a shape of a heart using cut strawberries. "Aww!" She reached over and hugged me tightly again. "This is so nice."
"Glad you like it Ashley, but can I have my lungs back plzz? I big fan." I begged
"Oh okay." She smiled and pulled away, while she was eating I explained the things I can do, my extra jobs, 1 at a mall food court, working for a cinnabon kiosk and another at an Adidas store. And how if I'm bored of playing Minecraft, I played soccer with my friends, of course I was bad, but it was fun hanging out with friends, and yes Ashley corrected me through her whipped cream grin that its Football not Soccer.
After we finished I had 1 more waffle on my plate, she had only eaten 2 and still did look hungry so I let her have mine. She didn't eat anything yesterday, I literally woke up to her stomach rumbling, I tried making her happy by rubbing her stomach but she thought I'd be tickling her so she kicked me in places that should never be kicked, figures why I laid on the ground like I was dying.
"Thanks." She nods, I slowly pulled out 2 things, 1 was her plane ticket and the other was another t-shirt design, my first shirt was to make people see my PvP content on my channel, however this shirt design had Ashley's original character with the suspenders holding hands with my character, there were little hearts above her head and we were walking down a pathway. GG to Lexi for this, I never knew she could draw.
"Awww its soo cute!" Ashley took a picture of the design. Then looked over at her ticket. "R-ray did you?" She cut herself off
"Yup." I said, grabbing a strawberry and flipping it into her hair like a coin
"Lol, im about to get rid of this poof anyway." She giggles; her poof was slumping downwards, since she had fallen asleep on it. "But thank you for the first class ticket, I wish I could stay in America with you and our friends."
"Yea we all want things that we don't get sadly." I sighed, but was surprised when Ashley gave me a big whipped cream filled kiss
"Mmmm waffles." I mumbled
"Tee hehehehe." Ashley giggled then I walked her to the living room, I had also packed her suitcase, which had a picture of her supposed 'identical' twin, we sat down on the couch as I let her pick a show.
"Hey Ashley were not breaking up right?" I ask, laying a hand on her leg
"W-what?! Of course not!" Ashley snapped, hugging me as my eyes watered
"Well you're moving back to England and I don't know when I'll see you again." A few tears escaped my eyes. "A lot can happen and-!"
"Shut it!" Ashley cut me off, smiling at me "I wuv you Ray, and that won't change even if we were on opposite ends of the earth."
"You sound so adorable Ashley, even I can't be sad anymore." I wiped my tears away "And don't worry, I'll find a way for us to be together daily." I nodded
"I know, you're amazing and you always find shiz out for the better." Ashley compliments
"Nah you are way more amazing than me." I poked her cheeks
"No you are, Mr. Awesome PvPer/Chef/Football Player"
"Oh stop, I've only reached 10k, I can only make minor foods like breakfast and lunch and to top it off, I suck at soccer."
I lay back on the couch, Ashley sat at one end of the couch, hesitating to lay beside me, in case anybody walked in and saw, but honestly what more can the group make of us now? They must have lots of pics of us already.
We began watching shows then we watched a movie, we chose comedy so I went with The Benchwarmers, it was my favorite movie, yet I fell asleep right away, sad face. But Ashley was next to me, cuddling, so that made up for it
Who knew what time it was, but when I woke up, we were being watched by of course the group, at least we weren't late for our flight, we all rushed to the airport, taking cabs to get there, all rushing to the different flights, it was literally a rampage, Justin was going to Florida, Mitch to Canada, Jerome to New Jersey, I to Massachusetts, etc. We all said our respective goodbyes and departed except for me and Ashley, we just wanted to stay in each other's arms and as I much as I wanted to get on that plane to England with her, I couldn't, and I have friends, a sister and a family back home. Ashley and I kissed each other goodbye, it lasting for a while, Lexi had to push us apart, I gave Ashley my favorite jacket since she only had a regular t-shirt on, and airports/planes are cold. Lexi dragged me to our flight back to Boston. For the first time since Sara told me the bad news, I was sad.
Arriving home, we were greeted by our parents and Jay, who was making out with Gwen of course. Lexi told them about our adventures in Seattle and how I got Ashley as my girlfriend. None of them mentioned Sara, they simply congratulated me on Ashley, and they wanted me to be as happy as I could be.
"Come on now go to bed Lexi and you too Ray, I don't want to walk in your room and see you recording with your friends."
"Alex don't be harsh."
"But Kaitlyn dear I just want-!"
"Relax; I'm tired anyway, besides this whole week was all about Minecraft and no sleep." I jumped and lay back on my bed "Besides I do have school tomorrow."
"Well okay then…" Both my parents said in shock and left my room, because seriously, I hate school, I only go to see my friends, and oh shit! I forgot about that deadline the principle gave me.
Well, time face the devil…..I wondered if things will be different now that my group of friends is just missing a person
All morning I've been distracted, thinking about Ashley, and thinking about how we can make this work, she can't fly in every week just to visit, and I know how much she wants to move to the US, but she just got out of school, she must have so much on her mind. Walking to school I accidentally bumped into a mother, she had 2 kids with her, both looked either the age of 10 or below.
"Shit sorry." I apologized and walked past them, looking back I heard their reaction, I turned back "Im sorry, just distracted."
"How old are you?" The mother asked me
"16." I replied
"Do you use that language frequently?" She kept asking more questions, it may have stalled me but I was most likely in trouble anyway
"Only when I get mad or I just blurt them out, like in situations like these or on my videos." I tell them
"Your one of those Youtuber's as they call them or something?"
"Yea you can say that, only 10 thousand subscribers though." I sigh
"10k is better than what most people who try have." Her son spoke up
"Thanks. Look im sorry but I have to get to school." I pointed my direction
"Yes. Well goodbye…" She let me finish
"Ray. Or Rayis2slick on YouTube." I nodded and ran off
I walked in the school, getting stares from everyone, I don't know how many of them actually watch my content or if they just stalk my twitter…
"Yo!" Tommy walked up me with Melissa
"Hey tommy." I nodded
"Just a 'hey tommy' what about oh Sara moved away, you got a new girlfriend, how was Seattle, did you get torn apart by fangirls?"
"Well when Sara told me she moved through a text message I was upset of course but then I realized Ashley Marie wasn't just 'eh that person I met on skype and play minecraft with' She was actually a friend that likes and cares for me." I showed them a picture of Ashley
"Whoa she's smoking!" Tommy exclaims, getting a deadly stare, not from me, but from Melissa, and Tommy played it off like he always does, finding some way to cheer her up "She's hot but your hotter." He kissed Melissa as her frown turned into a smile
"Oh shit late bell will go off any second now, see ya guys at lunch maybe?" I say, running off again, having to run up 3 sets up stairs, I'm glad I go jogging daily. My Algebra 2 class was going on right now, the teacher was writing on the board, so I snuck in through the other entrance of his class, taking an open seat in the back.
"Glad you could join us." The teacher looked at me
"Sorry." I mumbled underneath my breath
"You were gone for a quite a while now, the Principle does want to see you."
"Again? Fucks Sake." I grabbed my stuff and rushed out of the classroom, heading down the hall I walked in the Principal's office, Chad was in there with his parents
"Ah great…" I rolled my eyes
"Ray it's been way past your limit and Mr. Jones's family has decided to press charges on you." The principal directed me to look at his parents
"Oh really you're going to press charges on me?" I laughed as they looked at me confused
"This isn't a laughing matter young man."
"How about what your son did huh? Your 19 year old son had no business picking on, hitting and almost violating a 16 year old girl!" I shout, Chad's parents backed away in fear "Yea chad you thought you could hide behind Mommy and Daddy well sorry but it won't work, you did something wrong and you suffered the consequences." I smirked "You press charges on me and you'll pay." I looked right at his parents "So what's it going to be, your over age son goes to jail for assault and attempted rape or we can just drop these charges and talk?"
"We'll drop the charges" His father spoke
"Harry!" She shouted "He's probably just lying."
I showed them a picture of Sara "Want to still call me a liar?"
"N-no" Chad spoke
"Ray im sorry but gave me no choice, you can either join this special program that would be suited for you." He handed me an anger management brochure, 8 month mandatory attendance, pfft screw that.
"Or you can be expelled and never come back to my school." He smiled, thinking I'd pick the camp
"Or you can go fuck yourself" I ripped the brochure to pieces
"Ray!" He shouts at me
"I don't have Anger issues, your just siding with Chad cause he's the school's Quarterback, and all you care about is winning sport events, what about the art program, the band, the theatre, the gamers. Hell I was on the soccer team but the coach cut me to make room for his son who doesn't even like the sport, it' all about preference in this school and not opportunity."
"You are hereby expelled; now get the hell out of my school." He growled at me
"Listen geezer, nobody here fears you." I smirk, and then spat on his desk before storming out with my stuff, first period had ended. I saw my friends by their lockers, I walked towards them, handing them some stuff.
"Here's my skype name, social media stuff and some other stuff." I had bought them souvenirs from Seattle, giving Samantha a signed T-shirt from Preston
"Holy shit thanks ray!" Samantha fangirled
"But what's with all the stuff?" Michelle asked me
"Sara has left from our group and im next, I've been expelled." I rolled my eyes
"WHAT?!" They shouted
"No they can't do this." Kasandra shook her head
"They just did, in case we never see each other again. Thanks for everything guys, I was just some loner in the beginning of my freshman year." I extended my hand but they all hugged me one by one, Michelle hugged me tighter because I can say anybody is my best friend but really, it was Michelle the whole time, she invited me to be with her friends, invited me to play soccer, etc.
"Cya guys." I waved goodbye and left the school through the back entrance.
Heading home I wondered, how in the hell am I going to tell my parents? Meh they're at work right now, I have time, I snuck in the house, having to climb up to get in through the window since Jay is always in the living room, and I was getting a skype call from Ashley, I had forgotten to set up my mic yesterday so I was a big n00b and had to do it now, I ended getting spam calls from her until I finally picked up. She was in a call with Annie and 3 others who I had no idea who they were.
"Oh so this is your boy toy?" One of them said
"S-shut it!" Ashley giggled through her mic
"Ashley when you said new series I didn't think I'd be teaching 5 people how to PvP." I chuckled
"Hey we're not all bad." Annie said as she introduced me "Ray say hello to Kaleidow, Elleanora & Mousie."
"Hi." I mumbled into the mic
"Hiiiii!" They all cheered, I'm still the smallest channel out of the this small group, only being beaten by Kaleidow by like 200 subs…..GG!
