:|May 9th|:

Her name is Victoria. Vic for short.

She turned 18 years old on June 15th of last year.

Vic has a mass following on both TikTok and Instagram: ~11 million on both platforms.

She recently signed a deal with Thomas Petrou to become an official member of the Hype House. She had finally agreed after declining the request multiple times. You could say she had always been sceptical of big groups of Influencers flocked together.

But ever since she got close to Larray, Nikita Dragun and Mia Hayward online, the idea didn't seem so bad anymore.

It was difficult to become big in LA solely based on your social media presence, so she figured recieving a future advantage in her career by signing the deal couldn't harm.

Of course business is not always top priority to her, she wasn't that type of person. She wanted to get to know new people aswell. She has been following many of the members before she started her own journey, it almost feels surreal now to know she will live with them.

Vic's POV

Today was moving day, I had packed all of my bags days prior. I was leaving a lot of stuff I didn't feel was necessary behind. A lot of it includes my filming equipment.

A van finally came by at 11AM.
Sitting inside were the Wright Brothers, Jack and James. I put on my shoes and stepped outside to greet them.

"Heyy!" I exclaimed as I gave each of them a quick hug.

"It's so amazing to meet you, Vic. We're so excited to have you on the team!" Jack said.

"Thank you, I can't wait."

They helped me load everything into the van, not that it was much. On the 40 minute car ride to the house I had a pleasant conversation with them and they instantly made me feel very welcome to be their friend.

The time went by quickly and before I knew it I was standing in front of the house.

"I'd say we get you introduced first and then we'll leave you to set up your room?" James tapped my shoulder.

"Yeah, that sounds good to me." I answered.

As we walked towards the door Thomas opened the door to greet me.

"Yo, you're here. Welcome to the Hype House Vic Laurier." He bowed jokingly holding the door open for me.

I grinned as I went in to give him a hug. Walking in, to my surprise, most if not all the members were gathered in the kitchen waiting for me. It seems they were expecting me.

Everyones gaze shifted towards me as excited yelps filled the room. One after another I hugged each of them and exchanged names.

"Oh my god, you are HERE! You have such a pretty face, you need to model for my brand sometime girl." Nikita said.

"If it isn't THE Nikita Dragun." I smiled.

"Yes that's meee." She laughed as she flipped her hair. "I called Larray like 5 times and this bitch isn't picking up. He's always late and for what."

"Anybody know is Chase is gonna come over today?" Thomas asked.

"I texted him earlier but he's not sure he can make it today, he's at the studio." Mia said.

I could hear Thomas let out a sigh but nevertheless keeping a smile on his face.

I scanned the room and realized Larray and Chase are probably not the only ones missing.

"Oh yeah, Alex and Kouvrr are out at the moment andddd... Oh Vinnie, he's still up in his room sleeping. He stayed up streaming until 4am last night. He really doesn't get any rest." Micheal answered after I'd asked who was missing.

I'd known Kouvrr before she joined Hype House, we were relatively good friends, but we hadn't talked much ever since she joined the house, especially after she got involved with her current boyfriend Alex Warren.

And of course Vinnie Hacker. Right. I'd seen his TikToks a couple of times on my For You page but I'd never really been too interested in him. He's a good-looking guy, very good-looking, but I don't know anything else about him. I just know his fans go feral over him.

"Hey Vic, let's get you settled in then?" Thomas said as I was slightly dozing off.

"Yes, gladly. I'd also really appreciate it if someone showed me around." I added.

"Back off y'all." Nikita said as she strutted forward and grabbed my arm before anyone could say anything.

I laughed as she was practically dragging me along with her. The others were looking towards us and laughing at Nikita. I figured Jack and James would probably just set my stuff into my room while I was being shown around.

"Nikita, why do you have your own seperate room if you don't even live here?" I grinned.

"You've got to have your options open. Who knows if one day I might wake up and suddenly feel like I want to live in a mansion half the price of mine!" she stated.

I laughed as she continued on showing me around the huge house. It definitely looks bigger on the inside.

"Down this hall are most of the bedrooms, but a couple, including yours, are upstairs." she said climbing the stairs.

"That over there is Vinnie's room, only go knock if you have a death wish." she said.

I grinned at the statement.

"He's like a grumpy old man who only rots in his room all day streaming. I hope he'll come out eventually." Nikita joked, that really made me laugh.

On the opposite end of the hall was the room they had cleaned out and prepared solely for me.

"This is incredible." I exclaimed as I entered the room. It was only filled with the basic necessities like a bed, a desk and a clothing rack. But it was more than enough room for everything I brought.

"Yeah, it used to be a guest room but nobody ever used it." Nikita said, "Oh one more thing. Since the second floor is seperated into two, there's only one bathroom in each section. I hope you don't mind sharing your bathroom."

I did enjoy my privacy and the thought of sharing a bathroom with somebody I had just met is not very pleasant, but I'll get used to it eventually.

1PM•

I finished moving all of my stuff and I could finally sit down to chat with everyone for a while. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming, they all seemed very excited to have me here.

"Yo let's film a TikTok with Vic, get her introduced to the audience you know." Calvin said as he pulled out his phone.

"Yeah sure, seems like a good idea." I answered.

We went on to film a couple of silly dances to popular audios when we finally decided on a good one to post and Calvin tagged me in the video. Not even a minute later the video skyrocketed to tens of thousands of views and so were my followers.

It was a very warm feeling to read all the nice welcoming comments. I had only arrived today but I already felt so respected and loved here.

A few minutes later Alex and Micheal started gathering equipment to go film a new youtube video, but the concept of the video seemed a little extreme to me so I decided to sit it out.

I was scrolling through TikTok, reading and replying to comments when I got a notification.

"Vinnie (@vhackerr) started following you"

A sign of life. So he's acknowledged me being here.

"Vic (@vviclaurr) started following you"

He grinned.
