Emily: (Answers the phone) Hello?
Ethan: (Laughs) Wow, such an angelic voice.
Emily: (Rolls eyes) Nice to talk to you too, Eth.
...
An Hour LaterI was lying on my floor, laughing so hard.
Emily: (Laughing) Wait he actually trapped you in a net and dressed up as a killer clown to prank you?
Ethan: Gray and I prank each other a lot. My pranks are the best thought.
Emily: Oh what's that smell? Smells like someone's ego cooking up.
Ethan: What?! It's true! Grayson's pranks are so extra.
Emily: Talking about this Grayson, when will I get to talk to him?
Ethan: Tomorrow we should FaceTime. I'll introduce you to Gray and Roxy.
Emily: Where are they anyway? Didn't they leave to get pizza an hour ago?
Ethan: I know right? They're talking so long. I should probably text Roxy and see where they are.
It was silent on the other end of the call until Ethan finished texting his girlfriend.
Emily: So, do you have a job? How old are you? You can be a creepy forty-five year old man for all I know.
Ethan: (Laughing) Oooh yeah, I bet I got that forty-five year old Dad bod!
I wheezed and bursted into a seizure of giggles. He was laughing on the other side of the call too.
Emily: (Laughing) No but seriously, how old are you?
Ethan: I'm eighteen and I film goofy YouTube videos with Grayson for Tuesdays.
Emily: Oh cool. I was eighteen yesterday-
Ethan: Wait, it was your birthday yesterday and you didn't even tell me? I gotta get you a gift.
Emily: I didn't tell you because it's not that exciting. It's not like I can eat birthday cake or stuff. And sure, send me a gift. Just decontaminate it before you deliver it.
He laughed. I then heard mumbling noises over the call.
Ethan: That's Gray and Roxy back. We gonna FaceTime tomorrow?
Emily: Sure. Also eat a slice of pizza for me please?
Ethan: (Laughs) Of course. Speak tomorrow.
Emily: Bye!
I hung up and placed my phone on my chest, staring at my roof. I then remembered that Eth mentioned that he makes YouTube videos.
After showering, throwing on my favourite purple silk pyjamas, taking my pills and getting comfy in my bed, I turned on YouTube on my TV.
I then realised that I didn't know what Ethan's surname was so I shot him a quick text:
I typed into the YouTube search bar 'Ethan Dolan' and up popped a channel called 'Dolan Twins'. Boy did I spend HOURS watching Ethan and Grayson's videos.
Ethan: What's up guys? We're back!
Grayson: And this week, we're gonna be doing a challenge that I made up called "Flip, Sip or Slip".
...
Ethan: Why who's sleeping?...Babies sleep in here? Oh, can I pet them? I love babies!
...
Ethan: Round seven- (Throws up) Round sev- (Throws up)
Grayson: (Dying with laugher) Oh my god hahahahaha!
Ethan: Boy I just can't wait for round seven- (Throws up)
...
Grayson: (Angry) Did you just call me Dennis?! My name is Mr Scuppie in here! It's Mr Scuppie, alright?! It's not Dennis to you! It's not Dennis to her! It's Mr Scuppie! Alright get out!
...
By now, it was about 2am. I was currently watching their 'Types Of Parents' video.
Grayson: (Shouting) You're grounded! Again!
Ethan: But I'm sorry I just-
Grayson: (Shouting) Son of a spanky! Go to your room!
I had tears streaming down my face as I was laughing so much. I had an idea. I decided to play a small prank on Eth:
After one more hour of binge-watching YouTube, turned my TV off and snuggled under my warm duvet and and went to sleep.
