negativity. After dinner Kaya proceeds to check her notifications, which now say “58 views”. Her heart takes leaps of faith by looking at the comments that say things like “wow you are pretty” or “Keep it up,” but as she keeps scrolling Kayla finds one that says “you are just a wanna be”.
Kayla stands there and then all of a sudden laughs. She thinks to herself that if someone puts themselves out there, then there is a big chance of them getting hurt. But the risk of that happening is better that never opening up at all.
Kayla thinks sleeping it off is a good idea, but she can’t seem to keep her eyes closed. That’s when an amazing idea comes to her head. She creeps into her parents room to grab the camera and the tripod. She sets it up in the corner of her bedroom and presses the red record button. This was different than her last video; this time she openly talks about how if you don’t like something, move on rather that making comments about why you don't like it. Right before she presses the red button again she gives the camera a killer smile, knowing that her phone will soon light up with positive notifications again.
