Jelly chose the best place to shoot the video. She chose the park. I asked my mom if she could drop us off there. She said she was so busy, so she just asked us to walk there. It was a 5 minute walking distance anyway, we were just too lazy.
As we walked by the streets, Jelly started another conversation. "You nervous?", she asked me. "Do I look like I'm not nervous? This is the first video I'm gonna post and I'm worried people will hate it.", I said. I can't describe my feeling at the moment, but my hands were sweating like crazy.
We were getting closer and closer. Until the park was in sight. Jelly grabbed my arm and dragged me there. While she was dragging me, we saw 4 familiar faces by the bench.
"Hey isn't that Xanie?", I asked. "Yeah! That's them. Come on.", she said, then she pulled me until we reached the bench. "Ayee guys! What's up?", Jelly said in a black guy voice. "Just chilling, what you girls up to? Why do you have a camera?", Xanie asked.
"Well Camilla here-", "N-no. Don't start.", I said as I stopped Jelly from continuing what she was about to say. "Don't tell me what to do. See, Camilla here is gonna make a music video about the song she wrote. It's really catchy!", Jelly explained. "A music video? That's so cool! Can we be in it?", Christiana asked.
"Sure! Yes you can. We need more people, anyway.", I answered. "Then what are we waiting for? Run to the court!!", Jelly exclaimed. We all ran to the basketball court for the first scene. Everyone was so excited so we started shooting as soon as possible.
The cameraman, Jelly acted so professional. She then said "5 4 3 2 1 sing!" I was really nervous, but I had to start so we won't waste time. I started singing and the others were background voices, they started to harmonize.
We finished the first scene then went on and on. It took us an hour and 45 minutes to shoot the whole thing. After that, we watched it and saw some flaws that we needed to edit.
So the 6 of us, Xanie, Christiana, Neave, Regina, Jelly and me went all the way to my house to edit the video.
Neave was the best at doing this so she tried her best to fix the flaws. After about 2 hours, she said that the video was good enough already. We all checked it out...
We all loved it! Even me, to be honest. The acting, the background, the venue, they were all terrific! Mom even heard it and went straight upstairs. She said, "Who's singing? A new teen sensation on youtube?" We were all silent, especially me. I was blushing like no tomorrow. Everyone thinks it was great!
"Camilla was singing. That was a while ago at the park, should we post it on youtube?", Jelly asked while looking at me with a great big smile on her face. "Oh my Lord, Camilla! Your voice is so amazing! I didn't know it was you! I thought it was Maddi Jane or something.", mom exclaimed. I was sitting there, looking at the ground smiling and blushing.
"YES! You should post it! I'm so proud of you, Camilla. This will lead you to a great future! And who knows... Greyson Chance ", mom said in a flirty voice. Everyone in the room said "YIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE Greyson Chance!" but I was speechless.
Mom left the room to bake some cookies for us. Jelly then uploaded it on youtube, and in no time, it was posted! We all had like at least 2 000+ followers on twitter, so we tweeted about it.
And you know what I tweeted? "Please watch this, I worked hard on making this song & Greyson's my inspiration. Meeting him was all I ever wanted. Please help me. " Greyson's last tweet was a day ago so I was sure enough he wasn't online that time.
After tweeting, we all got hungry and went down to check on the cookies. We ate a lot, and my mom told everyone in the house about the video. Everyone seemed so proud.
I was the first one to finish my food so I rushed upstairs to check on the video. As I logged on twitter and searched the video on youtube....
To my surprise, "Greyson notice Camilla" was a TT! I didn't know how it happened, cause I only have like 3.3k followers! It was the 3rd trending topic WORLDWIDE! I screamed in joy, tears fell down my eyes. I was so happy, my dreams may come true!
I checked the views, and it already had 50 000! I went through all the comments, almost all of them were positive and flattery!
Jelly heard me screaming so she went up. "WHY WHAT'S WRONG?!" Then I told her EVERYTHING I saw. "This is indeed a video to remember! Will Greyson see it?!", I said with joy. "Who knows. I told you you're amazing.", Jelly said while she patted my shoulder.
