Chapter 3
Snap. Snap. Snap.
I looked at the ground I was walking on. There was no sign of twigs or leaves anywhere. So it couldn't have been me or Maya since she was right next to me.
"Did you hear that?" I whispered to her.
She shook her head.
I know I wasn't crazy. I know I heard something.
"Fuck!"
I started to panic, and held on to Maya's arm.
I knew I wasn't crazy!
We looked around frantically, but there was no sign of anyone.
"Fucking hell, I'm scared!" I whispered to her.
"Oh, and you think I'm not?!" she whispered back fiercely.
Once we started to walk away, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I turned around and let out a scream, so did Maya.
Not even a few seconds later, that same person was dying of laughter on the ground.
I was confused and frustrated.
"The fuck was that all about?!" I said angrily.
Someone was also laughing hysterically behind us. I turned around, the other guy had a video camera in his hand.
And that's when I got confused.
They looked identical. I looked at the one with the video camera, then to the one dying of laughter in front of me.
"Um... There's two of you...?" I said puzzled.
The guy got up and wiped tears from his eyes, then started laughing once again.
The one with the video camera went next to the other guy.
Identical twins. Literally.
I looked at Maya, who looked at me with the same what-the-fuck expression on her face as me.
"Sorry 'bout that girls, I didn't mean to scare the life out of you like that," said one of the twins.
"Why'd you do that for?" I asked.
"You guys aren't from here are you?" asked the other twin, "You guys speak so... American!"
"'Cause we are," I responded.
You know, they weren't that bad either. They were attractive.
"That's so awesome! And we did it because it was a dare from one of my fans for my next Truth Or Dare video," said a twin.
"Video?" said Maya.
"Yeah, I'm Jack, from Jacks-gap! And my less attractive twin brother, Finn," grinned Jack.
"I'm better looking than you, so shut up!" laughed Finn.
"So you guys are Internet famous?" I asked.
"Well, I am, not Finn here," said Jack patting Finn's back.
"I am," said Finn removing Jack's hand from his back, "But I don't have a YouTube channel, I just appear in his videos."
"Ah, coolio," I smiled, "I'm Lizzy by the way," I stretched my hand out.
He shook it, "Nice to meet you!"
"Maya," they shook hands.
This was crazy! Four YouTube celebrities in one day of being in London!
"Well, we'd love to stay and chat, but we have to get home," I told them.
"Hope to see you guys again another time, though!" said Maya.
They laughed and nodded.
"Okay then, Bye!" they said
"Bye!"
What a night, hunh?

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of Carpe Diem by Green Day blasting in the stereo, and Maya singing her heart out.
"Maya! Shut the fuck up, it's 9 in the fucking morning!" I yelled all sleepily. One thing you should know, is that I'm the fucking Grudge in the mornings.
She paused the music and skipped to my bed, "Calm down, I did that on purpose. Phil texted me and told me he and Dan want to hang today if it was cool with us."
I smirked at her. "I see someone wants to be next to somebody eagerly,"
"Shut up, it's not everyday you meet Phillip Lester!" she punched me playfully on the arm.
I got up and checked my phone. Three messages from Dan.
I couldn't help but smile.
"Aye, I see you, Lizzy," said Maya chuckling.
I stuck my tongue out at her.
From: Dan
To: Lizzy
7:37 am
Hey, Liz! It's early, I know, sorry if I'm waking you up
From: Dan
To: Lizzy
8:24 am
You awake yet? I sure hope I'm not being too annoying
From: Dan
To: Lizzy
8:51 am
So, me and Phil were wondering if you guys wanted to hang today?
I smiled to myself. Goddammit Dan was just awesome.
I texted him a quick reply and got my stuff to shower.
After about an hour or so, I was all ready.
I applied eyeliner as a finishing touch, and sprayed myself with my Victoria's Secret perfume.
"Ready yet, Liz?" yelled Maya from the sofa.
"Yeah, I'm ready, you?" I replied fixing up my hair a bit.
"Yeah," she said through a mouthful of whatever she stuffed in her mouth.
I walked in the kitchen and looked at her shirt, and raised my eyebrow at her.
She looked at me, then my shirt and started laughing.
"Why would you choose to wear the same band shirt as me?" I asked her.
"I never said that!" she chuckled.
"Coincidence much?" I smiled at her, and gave her a high-five. I looked down at her shoes and face-palmed myself. "Same Vans too?!" I laughed.
She cracked up and starting choking on her cereal bar.
I patted her back and made sure she was still alive.
"Twins for today?" she said after she was done dying.
"Might as well, no?" I chuckled.
She smiled and continued eating her cereal bar.
