The Waters - A Beta Squad Story (bxb)

5. Day In The Life

As the camera clicked, Sharky couldn't help but feel a sense of pride swell up inside him. They all looked so good together, so comfortable in their own skin. He glanced over at Kenny, and although he thought it cheesy, he agreed that his smile lit up the entire room. It was then that he realised something: their friendship had grown into something more. It wasn't just about hanging out and having fun anymore; it was about being there for each other through thick and thin.

After the group photo, they took turns taking solo shots in front of the camera. Aj, as always, was a natural in front of the lens, posing effortlessly with a smile that had a domino effect throughout the room. Chunkz decided he was going to pull an exaggerated smirk at the camera each time. Niko was practically glowing with confidence, and Sharky and Kenny found themselves in a competition to see who could take the best shot. They bantered back and forth, laughing and teasing each other like they'd been doing for years.

As they finished up the photo shoot, the producer came over to thank them for their hard work. He assured them that the upcoming merchandise sales were going to be amazing and that the boys' friendships were going to be the heart of it all. Sharky couldn't help but glance at Kenny as the producer spoke, feeling a newfound sense of responsibility towards their relationship.

The next task on the list was to film their new YouTube video, so they headed out to the vehicle and headed over to the set. They were filming a new 'guess the liar' video. By the time they arrived, it was already five in the afternoon.

As they filed into the building, they spotted their friends Filly and Harry Pinero. They were the hosts for today's video. Chunkz dramatically runs up to Filly, crushing the man in a hug, both jumping hilariously.

"Chunkz, you big idiot, I can't breathe!" Filly exclaimed, laughing, as he tried to break free. Niko and Sharky share a look as they walk up to Harry, who is grinning from ear to ear. "Hey, Sharky, Niko, how's it going, brother?" he asks, wrapping his arm around each of them in turn.

They all chatted for a moment about how the photo shoot went and how excited they were for the new clothes to drop.

As the crew set up the cameras and the chairs in the middle of the shoot for each member to sit on, the boys couldn't help but feel a sense of nervous excitement coursing through their veins.

The rules of the game were simple. Four of the members were given a question, and they then have to answer the question. The fifth member is then given a different question that they have to answer. When everyone reveals their answers, they have to guess who they think is the member with a different question. If they manage to not get voted for, they win, and the other members are given an electric shock. If they were voted out, then they would get the shock instead.

The producer reminded them of all the rules. The five boys sat in the middle of the hall on their chairs, their faces etched with determination. The hosts were instructed to sit on the sofa on the left side. Then, once they were all in place for the video, the main director counted down from three, and the cameras began to roll.

Filly and Harry brought a lot of energy to the start of the shoot, introducing themselves and the game.

As the first question was given out to the five boys, one of whom had a different question, Aj and Niko exchanged glances. They knew this was going to be tough. The questions were all about their lives, their friendship, and even some personal information. They had to be careful not to give anything away. As the rest were writing their answers on their whiteboard, the two boys looked at each other, and Aj knew that Niko was thinking the same thing as him. They both wanted to win so badly.

In the background, Sharky and Kenny were noticing the tension between Aj and Niko. They decided that they needed to step in as mediators before things escalated any further. Sharky spoke, trying to calm them down. "There's no need to get so competitive."
