1. Hi, My Name Is...

*Casey's P.O.V*

I sat on the sofa in the living room, my laptop resting on my lap and the TV playing in the background, the two devices illuminating the dark room as I hadn't turned on the lights since the sun went down about half an hour ago. I was just scrolling mindlessly through Tumblr, something I spent most of my time doing.

"Casey, why is it so dark in here?" My mother complained, walking into the living room and flicking on the light. I had to squint, the sudden brightness of the room hurting my eyes slightly. My parents were divorced and I lived with my dad, but Mum was here because Zoe was coming home to visit today and Mum wanted to see her as soon as she arrived, as oppose to waiting for Zoe to go round to see her tomorrow.

"The sun went down." I shrugged, not looking up from my laptop. Mum sighed and sat on the sofa next to me.

"Your sister and Alfie will be here soon, why don't you go and make sure their room is ready?" She suggested.

"My room, you mean."

"Yours and Zoe's room."

"Fine." I groaned, closing my laptop and carrying it under my arm as I exited the living room and went upstairs. I went into my bedroom. It used to be mine and Zoe's shared bedroom, but she moved out so it's just my room now. She still sleeps in here when she comes to visit, though. Although, it was going to be even more of a squeeze this time as Alfie would be sharing our room too.

I sighed as I began making Zoe's old bed, neatly folding the corner of the duvet back. Don't let my unenthusiastic attitude fool you. I love my sister to pieces and I'm really happy that she's coming home for a couple days since we haven't seen each other for a few months, but I've never been my parents' favourite child and having their perfect little Zozeebo home is only going to remind them how useless I am compared to her. Zoe's got almost 5 million subscribers on YouTube and she's writing a book and Joe's got almost as big a following as Zoe, but me? I've got none of that. I'm just little old Casey Rebecca Sugg. Sure, I'm creative like my siblings, but I could never achieve anything from it, not like them. I'm too socially awkward to make videos or be popular. I hate being in Zoe and Joe's videos because I know I'll make a fool of myself on camera. Yeah, I appear in their vlogs ever so often, but that's it. So, instead, I'm just living on the internet and trying to get through my last year of sixth form with no idea of what the hell I want to do with my life. I don't blame my parents for favouring my older siblings over me, because I totally understand why.

My low mood was lifted a little when my phone went off with a notification. I picked it up off my bedside table and smiled when I saw Dan Howell aka Danisnotonfire had tweeted saying he'd just posted a new video. Immediately, I sat down on my bed and opened my laptop, going straight to YouTube. I found Dan's new video in a seconds, it was titled 'Internet Support Group 3' which I was happy about because his Internet Support Group series were some of my favourite videos of his. Although, to be fair, I'd be happy watching any of his videos.

I was a pretty big Dan and Phil fan, but I wasn't absolutely obsessed with them. It's not like I spent hours and hours stalking them- Okay, so I might have stalked their twitters a little but that was ONE TIME, OKAY?! I just enjoyed watching their videos, I found them funny and they always managed to put a smile on my face. And, okay, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think they were attractive, especially Dan...

Yeah, it was a tiny bit weird considering they were good friends with both of my siblings, but I'd been watching Dan and Phil since before Zoe and Joe met them and I wasn't going to stop just because they were friends now.

"Casey!" Mum called up from downstairs, just as the video finished. I closed my laptop and put it aside before jumping up from my bed, grabbing my phone and making my way downstairs.

"Zoe!" I squealed, finding her and Alfie by the front door. They still had hold of their suitcases so they must've only just walked in. I ran up to my big sister and wrapped my arms around her neck. Zoe giggled as she hugged me back and lifted me off the floor slightly.

"Did you get even shorter?" She teased. I playfully rolled my eyes. I'd always been short. I was only 5'2. I didn't mind my height, and I didn't mind family and friends teasing me about it because I knew they were only joking. The only thing I hated was being talked down to.

"Do I not get a hug?" Alfie asked, holding his arms out and pouting. I laughed and gave him a hug, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Good to see you again, Spacey." He chuckled and I pulled away, glaring playfully at him. Spacey was a nickname I was given by my family and Alfie loved to wind me up with it. I'd been known to get a bit lost in the clouds, which often resulted in me bumping into things/people and having to ask people to repeat things too many times because I wasn't paying attention, so you can probably see how I earned the nickname.

After I greeted my sister and her boyfriend, Dad walked in from the kitchen where he was cooking dinner and Zoe immediately hugged him hello.

"Dinner will be ready in about twenty minutes, we're having a Sugg Sunday Roast." He winked as Zoe and Alfie gathered up their luggage to take upstairs.

"Ooh, yummy!" Zoe grinned. Dad chuckled before going back into the kitchen while Zoe and Alfie made their way upstairs and I followed so I could help them unpack.

By the time they were finished unpacking, dinner was ready and we all went downstairs to eat. Dad's roast dinner was amazing as always and the meal in general was great. After we'd finished eating, Zoe and I went upstairs to my room while Alfie stayed downstairs and helped clean up. I hope one day I have a boyfriend as lovely and helpful as him.

"So, how's school going?" Zoe asked me, sitting on her bed while I sat on mine.

"Alright, I guess. Pretty stressful, though."

"Well, do you think you could afford to take the day off on Friday?" She questioned.

"Why?" I gave her a confused look.

"Well, me, Alfie, Joe and a couple of other YouTubers are going to see One Direction and I've got a spare ticket so... I was thinking maybe you'd like to come?"

"Seriously?" I asked, a huge smile spreading across my face when Zoe nodded, "I'd love to! Thank you so much, Zo!" I jumped up from my bed and tackling my sister in a hug.

"You're welcome." Zoe laughed, hugging me back.

I was so excited for Friday.

A/N: Hey, I hope you guys are enjoying this story so far 😊 I know this chapter isn't much, it's just supposed to be an introduction sort of thing, so it's a little boring. Hopefully you'll find the next chapter more exciting 💕 I'm pretty excited for this book, I love Zoe and Joe and I love Dan and Phil so I decided why not throw them together in one story 😝☺️ anyway, I'll stop waffling on now 😂 love you all ♥️
