Jizzie | Hand on Heart

Chapter 5 | Vidcon?

"Joel are you ready!" I yell through the house.

I'm currently standing at the front door, tapping my foot impatiently.

"Joel we have to go!"

Joel comes down the stairs, with his rucksack on his back and hauling a suitcase by its handle.

"Finally!" I explain, pulling up the handle on my suitcase.

We go out to the car, loading up the bags.

"Ready?" I grin.

He nods, getting into the drivers seat while
I slid into the passengers seat.

The drive takes about 4 hours, but eventually we arrive.

"Woah" I gasp, as we pull into the ExCel centre.

Joel smiles, following the signs and men in high vis jackets to the car park.

We finally find a parking spot and head inside.

"Okay, so here are your creator passes, and panel list, as well as your schedule and featured activities, and then you have a map and rules and requirements"

My mind wanders around as the desk lady speaks.

I look down into the main hall, there's no one here yet, but everyone will be here soon.

The booths and meet and greets are already set up.

My meet and greet isn't until tomorrow.

I have a day to try the activities and just have fun, then the opening show later tonight.

Most of my panels are on Sunday.

"Lizzie" Joel prompts.

I blink and let him put on my wristband.

"Lets go!" I squeal, bouncing off.

"Welcome to VidConLondon" I read of the sign.

We go to the creator lounge and I deposit my stuff down.

"Let's go explore!"

Joel laughs and we go down into the Expo hall.

The stage is massive, with chairs and backdrops and big lights.

We head into the main hall.

The first thing I see is a glitter makeup booth which I don't pay much attention to.

There are some merch stores, I spot Joey and go over to him.

He's got his back to me, and is talking to someone behind his booth.

I make a sign to the girl to keep it quiet, and she winks at me.

I put my hands over Joeys eyes, "guess who?"

He laughs, "I don't know"

I remove my hands and he turns around.

"Lizzie! Gurl it's great too see you!"

I nod, hugging him.

"Joel!" They exchange some words.

"So, have you guys tried the Nickelodeon slime booth?" Joey asks.

I shake my head curiously.

He grins, leading us over.

There is a big orange tank with glass separating it into booths.
