A/N I bet you didn't expect another chapter so quickly, because I am the queen of no updates. Well SURPRISE MUTHA FUGGA! I'm sorry you were probably glad there wasn't anymore… eh, I shall torture you once more then darlings! Enjoy!
The stage for the meet and great was rather small; hopefully everyone would fit on it. I was kinda glad that it meant we wouldn't have to walk all around, there were way too many people at the signing earlier for it to be healthy and I has pretty exhausted but none the less flattered that people actually liked us.
Kitty and I piled onto the stage with the group of other Youtubers that had been selected to participate in YouTube's 'special surprise' they were revealing now. The group consisted of Smosh, Tobuscus, Shane Dawson, Robbaz, Danisnotonfire, Amazingphil, Jenna Marbles, Kingsley, RayWilliamJohnson, and some other guys I'd never heard of. The crowd erupted in cheers and whistles from seeing all their favorite YouTubers in one group to announce the news they'd been waiting on for months. A YouTube representative walked out in front of the group of us, holding out his hand to calm the masses. Eventually there was silence.
"Welcome everyone to this very special announcement from YouTube." He spoke into his microphone. "On behalf of YouTube, and all these people here, I am very pleased to announce that we have decided to relocate a select bunch of the most popular entertainment YouTubers to America to all live on the same street to improve their videos and do more collaborative videos in order to improve ratings and profit made by them and by the YouTube corporation." He announced trying to be professional but he was obviously a big fan. Everyone in the crowd went ballistic, I was really glad there was security there to keep everyone…. In line. I glanced down the line; everyone was smiling widely at the fans reactions. I saw a familiar face looking back at my down the row, none other than Shane. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I guess the crowd saw it -to be fair we were up on a stage- and cheered louder, making us blush. I turned back to Kitty who was standing next to me. She didn't see me when I realized I could see her holding hands with Anthony behind the row, and behind the crowds' line of sight. I giggled a bit to myself and turned to face the crowd. The presenter spoke up again.
"They will be moving in to their new apartments on their own, or in their YouTube group depending on their situation. They will be occupying the apartments tomorrow. For safety reasons, the address will not be released to the public. Thank you everyone for your time, the meet and greet will be now, just give everyone time to get off the stage." He finished, extending an arm leading us all off the stage and into the crowd below.
There were screams, so many screams. Kitty and I made it through the crowds and to our area with the banner labeled ours. Over the hour we were standing there, we got handed 6 wads of people's hair, 7 excellent fan art pieces, 4 people asking for our emails and home addresses, 2 people asking to marry either of us and an uncountable amount of hugs and photos. Finally it was over, don't get me wrong I love meeting all the fans but it is exhausting.
At the end of the day we all piled back on to the bus, waving to everyone has we drove off. The ride home was more eventful than expected. Kitty and Anthony were flirting it up again. I pulled out my phone and texted Anthony –everyone had exchanged phone numbers earlier in the day- telling him to hurry the fuck up and kiss her. So he did, much to Kitty's surprise, but not mine obviously. After that I decided to excuse myself to a different seat because it's rather distracting knowing people are kissing right behind you.
"I'll leave you guys to it then." I said as I walked further down the front of the bus. Kitty looked at me, confusion playing on her face. I smiled to show her I wasn't angry, she gave an awkward thumbs up and a smile before turning back to Anthony. I wasn't angry but, it was just weird. Kitty was always the favorite one, she was prettier and funnier than me. Sometimes I just felt like the weird shadow.
I sat down in the new seat, looking out the window because there was nothing better do to and I didn't have enough confidence to talk to anyone. Curse me and my social awkwardness, lack of attractiveness and poor conversation skills. Half way to the hotel I felt someone sit down next to me. 'Who the fuck' I thought before turning around to see Shane sitting there.
"You looked like you could use some company."
"Thanks." I said quietly. I didn't know what to say next without freaking out. Most times when I talk to people I come across as confident and well spoken, but other times I just don't know what to say.
"What's up? Is it them?" Shane asked, pointing his thumb over his shoulder to Kitty and Anthony.
"That's why I'm sitting here, yes. I wanted to give them some space." I replied.
"Well you look sad. Why are you sad?" God did he ever stop asking questions?
"I'm not sad. I'm happy for them! I'm really happy for them! I just sort of came to the realization that I'm sort of like Kitty's shadow. Sometimes I'm confident but other times I'm just… there." I said. "Why do you care. Why are you talking to me, you're Shane fucking Dawson!"
"And you're Kat! Not a shadow. Important to me." He replied, putting his hand on my shoulder and gently kissing my cheek. I was going to squeal. All my self-doubt faded away. I was blushing like crazy, trying not to let it show too much.
"Thank you." I said. We spent the rest of the bus ride talking and laughing. When we finally reached the hotel, we all piled off and went back to our rooms.
"I saw you chatting to Shane on the bus!" Kitty said, teasing me.
"I saw you kissing Anthony you lucky bitch!" I replied. We laughed and began packing clothes into our suitcases to move tomorrow. My phone went off in my pocket, I pulled it out and checked my messages. One new message from Shane.
'See you tomorrow X'
