PROLOGUE
Claire is sitting in her bedroom staring into her webcam. She sighs. She never wanted to do this before. But she has to put her side of the story out there. She turns the webcam on.
"Hi, I'm Claire. You might know me from....Johnny Nose's blogs. You might think my name is Wheelchair Claire. You might find that funny. I have a sense of humour. Yeah, I'm in a wheelchair and my name's Claire. Great. It's funny. I get that. But...I'm more than that. I'm...oh God this is terrible. I'm just whining into a camera. This is why I've never done this before. Why would anyone want to listen to what I have to say? I don't subscribe to anyone on YouTube except that girl who posts sex advice. I don't care about anyone's life, okay? I don't have anything interesting to say myself, so don't think I'm just saying everyone else is boring. Maybe I could give an interesting perspective on being a wheelchair user? Nah! What's there to say? I don't like stairs. Oh, and yes I liked to be called a 'wheelchair user' rather than handicapped, okay? Thanks! You know, I'm not even going to post this to YouTube anyway, so why am I still recording..."
"HEY HEY!" came a voice. His voice. Of course he would come in now. Of course her mum would let him up to her room AGAIN without asking Claire first. Of fucking course.
"Right, signing off now," said Claire, reaching for her webcam, but Johnny jumped in her way then looked at her with a delighted expression on his mad face.
"You're recording a blog without me! You said you never wanted to appear on camera!"
"Didn't stop you filming me without your consent..."
"My fans LOVE getting some Wheelchair Claire along with their regular does of Johnny! You should have told me about this! With me cameoing, your ratings will go THROUGH THE ROOF! ESPECIALLY if I whip my cock out!"
"I'm not posting the video, I was just being stupid..."
"Don't put yourself down! You're not stupid! I'll just post the video for you..." He reached for the keyboad.
"NO," said Claire, wanting to hit him again. "Don't you FUCKING get it? I don't want to be your comedy sidekick. I don't want to be associated with you! I want to be my own person! I thought for a minute I could explain who I am in this video...I probably wasn't even going to post it but...then you came in anyway like you always do..."
"Sorry I wasn't listening I just posted your video," said Johnny. Then he skipped out of her room. Claire stared at the screen for a moment. She looked over at Johnny's Youtube channel. All those subscribers. How had he done it?
How had Johnny Nose become the most popular YouTuber in the world?
