Chapter 4

For a while, I had been getting tired of working at Starbucks and I wanted to move onto something better. For hours I had been looking for different jobs and none of them was suitable for me. They either had low pay or way too many hours. Something I wasn't looking for.

"Ah fuck, this is hopeless" I sighed, dropping my ballpoint pen onto the wooden dining table.

"What's wrong?" Brennen came in with his phone in hand.

"I'm trying to find a new job. Starbucks just ain't cutting it" I half smiled at him. I would still meet with Xavier and Rachel. They are my best friends after all. Not just coworkers.

"What have you got so far?" Brennen sat down across from me, examining the notes I had taken.

"Nothing, these are just possible jobs but I don't wanna work somewhere I don't like" Brennen nodded in understanding.

"How about you start up a YouTube channel? It pays good, well, mostly" I had thought about starting a YouTube channel but in all honesty, was I entirely capable of uploading on time and figuring out editing? That, I don't know.

"Come on Brennen, it's me we're talking about. I'm shit at that type of thing. Heck, I don't even know how to edit" Brennen grinned at my response.

"I could teach you. Ima be your instructor" he winked. He was way in over his head.

"Okay, I'll give it a shot. Pinky promise you'll help me out?" I held up my pinky finger.

"I promise you" he cocked his eyebrow up as he grinned at me, locking his pinky finger around mine. Brennen started to teach me the basics. I knew how to edit pictures and stuff so I would be sweet with that. It was more of the editing videos and filming that I wasn't as skilled with. Brennen and I sat for a good while and he helped me set up my channel. It was just my name, Briana Rutherford. I had taken a little while to edit a banner and profile picture for my channel, but it looked so freaking cool in the end.

"Shit! If I would've known you were that good at editing pictures and photoshop I woulda' asked you to make me a banner and profile picture" Brennen sat back in amazement at my new banner and profile picture. Brennen suggested we make my first video but I was way too tired to and I wanted to get into my pyjamas and chill.

"Maybe tomorrow. I have to turn in my employee shit to Starbucks anyway so, you can come with" I smiled at Brennen, laying on him slightly as he started a snapchat, shouting out my new channel.

"Y'all, go sub to my bae Briana at her new channel Briana Rutherford because she's bout' to be a sensation" Yeah right Brennen if anything I'm gonna be a huge flop. "Ima be her instructor on the YouTube shit so make sure you subscribe and prepare for her to start dropping videos" He ended the snapchat.

"You good?" I looked up at him.

"Ayeee, you know I am. I just had to make sure you get them subs before we start because you need an audience" Brennen stood up with his keys in hand. "I'm gonna go swing by The Trap House. I think Colby is coming here to pick up a package because he's been out of town. I would have brought the package with me but he insisted" Brennen said goodbye to me before swiftly leaving. He referred to Elton, Colby, Corey, Aaron and Sam's house as the Trap House. Aw man, this is gonna be so awkward. I anxiously waited for Colby to arrive and I rehearsed what I would say to him in my head over and over. I'm probably about to say nothing like what I said in my head. Typical Briana to be on that shit. Two knocks sounded at the door and my eyes darted to the lonesome package sitting on the table. Just go Briana, you got this. I don't know if it was because Colby was really attractive or if he was just Colby Brock but he made me so damn nervous.

"Uh hi?" Colby made a confused look at me before shaking his head, as if to be disapproving of me answering the door. Fucksake, what was I doing so wrong?

"Hi, Brennen said you-" Colby ignored me and pushed straight past me, picking up his package. He headed to the door, not even caring if I actually existed or not.

"Um bye?" I scoffed as he turned around on his heel at the doorway. He just looked me up and down and laughed smugly, leaving. Yeah, I'm wearing pj's but who fucking cares? Apparently, Colby does. "What the hell" I mumbled to myself. I returned to my TV show, waiting on Brennen to come home again. My phone lit up with a notification from Xavier.

Xavier Lewis added you and Rachel Croft to a group chat!

Xavier Lewis is typing...

Rachel Croft changed the group name to The Briana and Starbucks Breakup :(

What idiots they were. I loved them though. We would for sure have to meet up. It wouldn't be the same if I didn't see those uglies during the week. And anyway, Rachel would quite literally kill me if I didn't make time for my boo's. Just as I had yawned, Brennen came through the door, looking just as tired as I was.

"Did Colby come?" Brennen locked the door, tossing his keys onto the couch next to me, making me flinch as the keys slightly touched me.

"Yup" I popped the 'p'. I didn't wanna exactly get into what happened between Colby and I when he came because it was plain embarrassing for me. It could have been worse. I could have had Minion pyjamas on. But I had regular pyjamas on and Colby still laughed at me. What a jerk. I thought he was a nice guy. Maybe not. Or maybe he's just trying to be a little prick. Either way, it didn't change how attractive he was.
