Tw: mention of bruises and knives

"How was school?" Mom asked, today I came back to the house for the first time in two days.

Well I got harassed two days in a row, there's a bruise on my wrist from Keira pushing it against a wall, I want to tell Ranboo I love him but I'm way too scared for whatever reason, oh and by the way something catastrophic may happen to me soon.

"Good" I answered simply, walking into the kitchen to grab a snack before leaving for Ollie's,

"that's great" Dad nodded, "—You're here today"

"mhm" I acknowledged,

"That's unusual" Mom sighs, "where are you usually after school?"

"Ollie's house" I exclaim, "with Ranboo and Iris—Big Q's also visiting right now"

"Big Q?"

"Alex is his actual name, most of my friends call him Big Q" I nod,

"Why?"

"Because his online persona name is Quackity" I stated.

"Why do your friends have online persona's?" Mom quipped,

I sighed, "they're all streamers, remember when I mentioned that?"

"I don't remember" Dad shook his head, "what are streamers?"

"Streamers—my friends stream themselves playing video games"

"that's stupid" Mom scoffs, "who would want to watch that?"

"Judging from Ranboo's average 100 thousand live viewers per stream, I think maybe a handful of people would want to watch it." I say nonchalantly, "They get money and a career from it, so I don't think it's stupid. I think it's rather remarkable"

"yeah, but do they really rely on money from that?"

"well Ollie recently got 1.4 million dollars from her parents—and everyone is planning on suing Uber this summer" I list, "I don't think they only rely on streaming for money"

a/n: Oneshot of Ollie's inheritance is in Arcane (oneshot book)

"why would she sue Uber?"

"she got into an Uber—which kidnapped her" I explain vaguely,

"well isn't it partly her fault for trusting an uber in the first place?" Mom questioned.

"wow" i scoffed, "that's a really stupid statement"

"why is it stupid?" She pondered, "am I wrong?"

"in so many ways, yes!" I state, "Yknow I was just stopping by, imma go back to Ollies"

"okay" Dad nodded, "—Is Ollie a good influence on you?"

"I mean I'm not one to decide, but yeah" I shrug,

"why?"

"well she kinda helps me with anxiety stuff sometimes, she's a good friend" I smile softly,

"what anxiety?" Mom questions,

"well—I get anxious about school—and sometimes I'm just anxious in general" I stammer over my words.

"hm" She acknowledges, "well just stay safe around Ollie"

"why would I need to stay safe around Ollie?" I tilt my head, very intrigued.
