I've stayed with Clay for a week now, just going back home occasionally to grab more clean clothes when I run out of them since Clay currently doesn't have a working washing machine.

"So" Angel bursts into my room while I'm getting more clothes "Are you like moving out? If so I call dibs on your room" She says laying on my bed

"No i'm not, I'm staying there for a few more days, he wants me to stream" I mention, still grabbing clothes from my closet

"Oh... so you're dropping out then"

"No, I'm doing both, plus it's just a test stream nobody will join" I assure her

"Girl have you seen your socials?" Angel laughs holding her phone

"Not really..." Spending so much time with Clay got me off my phone most of the time, I just check it to see if any of my family members or Angel text me

"Well you literally have over 100k followers on both twitter and instagram... and I haven't even checked your tiktok yet" Angel informs me

"Oh..." I replied

"Yeah, oh"

I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed, I don't really like having that much attention on me... If a lot of people follow me, then that's a lot of people having the right to comment on me, have an opinion

"Should I delete it?" I genuinely ask, I can't erase 100k people

"Talk about it with Clay... or should I say Dream" Angel says still scrolling on her phone "Most of your comments are wondering why the 'feral boys' followed you, look"

I grab the phone and go through my recent instagram comments

gnf.enthusiast: who is this and why did all the feral boys follow her

dnf_isreal: stay away from them, dnf will be real don't get in the way 💙💚

karlnaps__: ayoo you are gorgeous !!

gnfsleftnut: she's pretty but I get weird vibes from her...

             | emilyinnit: stfu it's literally a picture of  her at a park you haven't even heard her talk... just because she knows your fav ccs you choose to attack her...? lowkey misogynistic

"Yeah no... I'm definitely deactivating" I give Angel her phone back

"Oh no, babes don't do that... you are giving in on what the haters want, they are just a bunch of pixels anyways, don't listen to them" Angel comforts me "But seriously, talk to Clay about it"  Angel adds and I sigh

"Fine I will, he's outside waiting for me so I'll mention it in the car"

I finish closing my bag and wait for Angel to leave my room so that I can lock it.

"Don't spend too much time there with Clay, I miss my best friend" Angel embraces me and I feel a little guilty.

Since I started college it's been just her and I, doing everything together, but the past few days I've barely even talked to her.

"Don't worry Angie, I'm coming back soon and we are partying, ok?" I assure her

"Yo, the dick must be really good if you are promising me a night out" Charlotte laughs

"Well..."

"Oh god tell me" She begins but notices me shift uncomfortably "Or don't, just tell me to stop when the size matches his"

And so she begins slowly expanding her hands, her eyes growing wider as I don't stop her

"Stop" I say after a bit

"How- how are you even walking" Angel says still pretty shocked

"Literally don't say that near him because his ego will skyrocket" I dismiss her

"Right... stay safe please" Angel says giving me one final hug

I make my way downstairs and then back into Clay's car

"What took you so long?" Clay asks scrolling through his phone

"I ran into Angel, I haven't seen her in a week, that's a long ass of time for us" I explain putting on my seatbelt, and the car falls silent

I look out the window, watching as Clay pulls out of my street, my thoughts begin to consume me.

I am terrified about today, I'm not sure on what to do with my instagram

And as if he was listening to my thoughts, Clay asks "Are you ready for today?"

"About that..."

"Don't tell me you are backing out" Clay looks at me with a genuine look of sadness, but then his face flashes with worry "Did anyone say something to you?"

"After you guys followed me I guess people started connecting the dots and deduced I was the one who played among us on stream that one time" I explained

"Let me fix that" Clay says pulling out his phone from his back pocket "Here, open twitter on my main and tweet what I say"

I do as he told me, quickly opening the twitter app

"If anyone attacks a female that interacts with me or my friends, then you are no fan of mine" I start typing trying to follow him

Don't judge ok? I'm a slow typer

"or any of them for that matter, disrespectfully shut the fuck up" he finishes

That seemed a little... harsh?

"Are you sure, Clay? I don't want them getting mad at you over me, it's fine I can stream either way I don't know why I let it get to me, I've gotten called worse really" I ramble, to which Clay, still looking at the road, puts a hand on my thigh to stop me

"Hey, just tweet it, I've also gotten called worse, that tweet won't do anything, trust me" he assures me, and so, I tweet it

"What are people saying?" Clay asks

"Well, George, Sapnap, Quackity and Karl all said vouch... Tommy just said 'i love women'" I informed him "And then it's just people saying vouch"

"See, it's gonna be fine don't worry, plus we are all going to be there"

"Thank you" I say

Clay doing this has really helped me be less nervous about today, maybe it won't be all that bad... I should probably not be so negative about this and actually enjoy it

That will definitely make it easier on my end.

"Also, Nick is coming over next weekend" he nonchalantly says

Wait

"Nick as in Sapnap Nick?" I ask confused

"How many Nicks do you know" Clay laughs

"Well you said it so casually I just- I don't know... it's huge though, you guys haven't met in real life yet right?" I am kind of confused as to why Clay isn't more excited about it, he's meeting his best friend

"Wait what about George?" I say before he can answer my first question

"Yes it's my first time meeting him, it just seems so surreal, like it's not happening" he says pulling onto his driveway "And George had a lot to sort out back at home so he sadly couldn't make it this time, but they are planning on moving here"

"Both of them?"

"At some point, eventually, yeah" he tells me

"Yes" Clay chuckles "I can't wait for you to meet them too, but for now, you are streaming" he pecks me on the lips, getting off the car.

"Wait, Clay" I say calling out for him

"Yeah?"

"Are you sure people are not going to be mean?" I shyly ask

"Oh, no they will say dumb shit, but the good will drown the bad, I promise it can get overwhelming at first, but you can do it" he says reassuring me, and I nod in response

Here we fucking go.
