"Once again Thomas, thank you for picking me up," Kat states, grabbing her suitcase out of the boot of Thomas' expensive car. They had just gotten back from the airport, and after a few hours of driving, they were finally at the house. Thomas replied, telling Kat that there were "no issues", and that it was the "least he could do after she flew all this way as a favour". And it was exactly that, a favour. Thomas never really thought of Kat to be the 'new eye' of the Hype House, yet after a brief conversation with her during the Charli D'amelio era, Thomas was somewhat acquainted to Kat. And with this aquatinted relationship between the two, he felt like he was in his right to ask her for this massive favour. Thankfully for him, he messaged Kat during one of her manic episodes in which dying her hair wouldn't cut it. She wanted more change in her life, and he gave her the opportunity to do so.
Placing the suitcase on the side of the curb, Kat pulled up the handle and began to walk towards the house. For one, she noticed how massive the drive way was, and how many cars that were parked there. If she were to add up all the prices of those cars, she would be able to buy her house back in Adelaide almost three times over. She saw that as an eye-opener when it came to her differences between her and the rest of the members. Slowly, she made her way past all the cars and onto the stairs, leading her way up to the mansion. She recognised the beauty of the place, and understood what the craze is about the mansion. High walls, natural lighting, a Spanish-villa esc aesthetic, alongside the view and ground space. It felt almost unreal that she was moving into here, alongside other young influencers. It also felt unnatural for an eighteen year old to be given the opportunity to live here for free.
"Welcome to the Hype House, what do you think?" Thomas asks enthusiastically as they get to the top of the stairs, a charming grin plastered onto his face. Kat instantly stops admiring the house, looking back at Thomas with a subtle smile. She takes a moment to think, a moment to look around once more, and another moment to fully digest where she was. It was a fever dream, right out of a wattpad fanfiction.
"Honestly, it's kinda mental," she replies, gaining a laugh from Thomas.
"Don't worry, you'll get use to it," he says, opening up the front door to the mansion. On their way to Kat's new room, Thomas gives the girl a tour of the mansion, including the kitchen, where the bathrooms were, the lounge rooms, the whole works. It didn't take long, and the two were at Kat's bedroom upstairs in no time. "I'll let you get settled in first, but when you're ready come meet us in the living room."
Walking into the bedroom, Kat closes the door behind her and thanks Thomas for his efforts. Gazing around the room, she automatically felt more out of place than she already did. The interior was completely different than houses in Adelaide, it felt more fresh and expensive than what she was use to. While the bedroom had all the essentials needed, a bed, wardrobe, the whole works, Kat felt extremely out of place. Especially when she discovered the ensuite. "How fucking rich are these people?"
