Sean pulls me over to the side of the room. "Are you SURE you're ok Star?"
I nod and smile at him "100%"
He raises an eyebrow "You're 100% even though you only just recovered from a fangirl/panic attack?"
I blush "Well when you're meeting your saviors you get terrified."
Sean gives me a confused look "Terrified? Of what?"
I sigh. "You guys could've forgotten about me, you might've ended up hating me, you might've laughed at me, I might've embarrassed myself publicly. The list goes on. I was absolutely terrified."
Seans jaw drops "I like you already! I've got to know you more than the others and I think you're a really cool girl. They dont know you that well but they still like you. None of us would ever laugh at you Star."
I shrug "I know the worries were stupid and irrational its just...not many things in my life have gone well up until the beginning of this week..." I trail off.
Sean gives me sympathetic eyes "Im so sorry about your past. Im here for you, remember that." He says softly, bending down to my level.
I cant stop myself. I smile and wrap my arms around his neck, he picks me up and hugs me back. "Thanks Sean, for being the first and best friend I've ever had." I say into his hoodie, sniffling slightly.
Sean chuckles "Awww its ok, you deserve better friends than me!"
I pull away and look at him "Are there better friends than you!?!"
Sean laughs and smiles before putting me back down on the floor. God, I feel so short again now. "Thanks so much for texting me dad last night Sean." I say quietly.
Sean smiles down at me "You're welcome!" He says sweetly.
"Do you wanna speak to my personal dinosaur?" I ask humorously.
Sean smiles widely and starts getting excited "CAN I???" He asks desperately.
I roll my eyes and pull him over to Arnie. "Hey Arnie, talk to Sean and stop being a loner. Have fun!" I say before running off to speak to everyone else.
Marzia smiles at me "Hi there Star!" She says sweetly.
I smile back at her "Hey Marzia, me and my mom are huge fans of your videos!"
Kellins eyes almost melt with happiness when I say "my mom" god he's such a softy.
Marzia laughs "Really!?! Thats so cool! Im a huge fun of your mom, and you for that matter! You have an absolutely amazing singing voice!"
I giggle and blush "Thank you so much!"
Felix comes over "She's right, you're a pretty awesome gamer too!"
I raise an eyebrow "Really?"
Felix laughs "Yeah! I have a feeling you'll be gaining subs in no time!"
I wink at him "I learnt my gaming skills from the best!"
Felix laughs, Sean shouts "Hey! I thought I was your favorite!"
I stick my tongue out at him "You are, I didnt specify who was the best at gaming Sean!"
I turn back to Felix and mouth "its you!" Before acting dramatically casual causing everyone to laugh.
