Chapter 4: Nikita's Devious Plan

Nikita's pov:

The bright morning sun shone upon my eyes while my alarm was screaming at me.

I woke up still a little sleepy and stood near the window stretching my body while simultaneously cracking up a few bones. I headed to the bathroom to freshen up. The smell of my shampoo enriched the atmosphere.

After 2 hours I finished dressing up as well. I know 2 hours seemed a lot but my hair was a mess so I treated it to a nice wash. As I was combing my hair, an amazing idea struck me!

"Yes! Brilliant! Im such a genius!" I said to myself.

This plan is perfect! Knock, knock Olivia! Death and humiliation is waiting at your door.

I continued combing my hair while admiring myself in the mirror. I got the talent, brains and beauty. There is no one as perfect as me. 

I was even surprised at myself for coming up with such plans.

Olivia's pov:

I got up feeling awful! I was up texting Jessica all night that I fell asleep so late. I could not even sleep in as I had to stick to today's schedule and I did not want to miss anything. Yes, I was the type of kid who use to follow the rules. It stuck with me ever since I was a little girl.

I quickly freshened up and chose my outfit of the day- a grey tank top and some white ripped jeans. My mom used to hate them, thinking it was dumb to buy torn out clothes. It took a while to convince her that it was a style.

I walked outside of my room and headed towards the dining area, I was so hungry!!

While walking towards the lobby, I saw Nikita there, talking to some of the hotel staff. "I wonder what she is doing?" I thought to myself.

I walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder.

"Hey Nikita! Good morning!" I greeted happily.

Nikita's pov:

"Oh no" I gasped. The sweet, innocent yet annoying voice sounded so familiar. I slowly turned around and saw Olivia there.

Can't this girl ever let me devise a plan to ruin her in peace?

I was extremely worried at that point if she had heard my conversation with the staff. If she did then my whole plan would be a flop and my intentions would be exposed.

"Oh hi, its you. Haha" I said while giving a fake laugh. The fake smile really hurt my face. It was hard keeping it up all the time.

"Whatcha doing?" She gave out a smile which always made my blood boil. I couldn't stand her whatsoever.

Nervously, I immediately responded with a slightly loud stuttering voice, "Oh um I actually was j-just com-complaining about a leakage in my bathroom. The whole night I had to mop up water from under my sink."

She looked shocked "Oh no! I hope everything is going to be ok."

"Yeah yeah, you don't have to worry! The staff will take care of it, haha" I said while faking a laugh but it did come off with a nervous hint.

I was getting annoyed with her million questions so in order from her to stop asking anymore questions, I told her that we have to leave to meet the CEO. I quickly pulled her hand and walked towards the auditorium.

"That was a close one." I said to myself.

Olivia's pov:

I sat down on the chair and noticed Nikita fidgeting with her gold bracelet while looking towards the entrance door. Her face had a nervous look simultaneously.

I placed my hand on her shoulder and out of concern I asked her, "Are you ok?", to which she replied "Oh, me? Yes I am" with a subtle laugh.

I just nod and looked ahead when at the corner of my eye, I noticed Sam entering the auditorium. He looked super cute in his black demin jacket! I got up from my seat and instinctively hugged him super tight. I wonder what on earth is wrong with me?! I was not able to hold myself back!

We quickly sat in our seats as the programme was about to begin.

Before I knew it, the auditorium became darker while silence gripped the room. Just then, the spotlight shone on stage, revealing the host who then approached the microphone which was located at the centre of the stage.

"Creators, I'd like to wish a very 'Good Morning' to each and every single one of you, present here today! I'd like to also welcome all of you to our annual YouTube seminar.

Please welcome our most beloved CEO, Ms. Erica Wayne!

I was super excited to finally meet Erica! It had been quite a long time since we last interacted that it felt like a blurry memory.

Before we knew it, we saw Erica walk on stage gracefully and took the mic from the host. Her blue eyes glistened with the spot light shining bright on her. Her hot red lips and glittery eyeshadow added a whole pop to her appearance! The entire crowd was widly appluading her for her presence! 

At that moment, I really felt as if we truly were one as a family. To see all us, content creators gathered in one room, enjoying ourselves was truly an amazing site and I never wantd it to end.

"GOOD MORNING!! My dear creators" she greeted enthusiastically. "Welcome to our annual Vidcon event! This year I'm proud to announce interesting changes to the event and how far we have come in youtube!"

"I would first like to start off by saying that we, at youtube have witnessed a tremendous spike in the number of new creators joining our the platform and sharing their valuable content with us! The spike has led us with a whopping 10 million plus creators in this year itself! This is an immense achievement for us! And I wanted to extend my gratitude with each and every single of you all!"

Over an hour into into the speech~

"Finally, I'm going to announce the exciting stuff we are going to do this year (Vidcon 2020). This year my team and I have decided that all you hardworking creators deserve a break from your hectic lifestyle so we have decided to postpone vidcon for a few days, SO THAT YOU ALL CAN GET A VACATION IN AUSTRALIA. YES!! You heard this right, YouTube will be hosting a vaction for all of you to Australia for a couple of days. Vidcon will be held after this vacation so better start packing up for it as we leave in 4 days for Australia."

As soon as she mentioned this, the whole crowd applauded Erica in a flash! Their excitement felt as she handed out a million dollars to everyone.

I looked at Nikita and Sam with excitement, "OMG, we are going on our first vacation together! I'm so excited, I've never been to Australia before!"

Sam gave a huge smile, "I know right? Finally YouTube is doing something for us creators. We deserve it you know."

I laughed at that comment since it was actually true. I took a moment and for some reason could not help but take a good look at Sam's smile. It felt so different that what it was in his YouTube videos. I guess being super close, in person with him really did enhance everything about him.

I broke from my trance and turned towards Nikita who still looked quite anxious as before.

I did not see an ounce of happiness in her facial expressions. Did she not like the idea of all us YouTubers vacationing together or did she not prefer Australia as the holiday destination? I did not know but I was able to realise that she was acting a bit weird earlier as well. I wonder what happened to her since morning! Or was I really just overthinking things and she was really in fact happy but could not express it properly.

After the session ended at around 4pm~

Nikita's pov:

I immediately got up from my seat after the boring speech ended! I saw Olivia and Sam looking at me weirdly with my sudden action of springing out of my seat. I had to admit, I did look like a mess but I couldn't do anything about it. I was in dire need to get out of the auditorium!

I ran out of the auditorium like a hungry cheetah and continued to discuss and carry out my plan with the hotel staff whom I bribed to assist me in my plan, in the storage unit of the hotel's kitchen.

It was not the ideal spot for me to hold a meeting but I had to make do with it!

After some time of preparing my plan with the staff, I left the storage unit and walked back to the auditorium where I saw everyone finally leaving in large numbers.

I immediately stopped them by yelling "Stop!" and stood on top of a table. All of them looked puzzled and maybe a bit shocked, which could be because of my charms, I assume.

I put on my happy face, adjusted my luscious hair and started talking as loud as I could.

"Everyone, STOP! There's no need to go back to your rooms now, for I, Nikita Dixion, have arranged a "Thank you Party" to appreciate our CEO's fabulous plans for us!"

After hearing this, everyone started screaming and complimenting me. I felt super special at that moment. It was finally time, people appreciated and admired me.

I felt like I was on cloud nine as I not only carried out the first step to my plan but people started giving me the attention and love I deserved! Aah! I'm such a genius!

"Party starts in an hour so please get ready people"

After this, everyone scurried back to their rooms to get ready, while I went back to the staff to ensure everything is going as planned.

"Oh Olivia, you have no idea what's in store for you! This party will end the worst for you!" I thought to myself.

This was indeed my time to shine!
