Chapter 3

"That's pretty good." The blonde boy stated.

Grace glanced back towards her iPad and realized he was complimenting her work.

"Thanks. I'm Grace." She introduced. "Tom Simons. I noticed you were sitting alone over here, is everything alright?" He asked.

Grace chuckles while nodding. "Yeah. I'm just keeping an eye on my siblings. Clay is playing tag over there" she points towards the kids running around "and the twins are over there watching people play video games." pointing towards the twins under the tree.

Tom nods in response.

"Are you American?" He asked. "Do you hate Americans?" Grace jokingly asked, making Tom chuckle.

"No. I was just curious since you didn't really have an accent. I actually have some friends who live in America. Some have come to see me while others haven't" He explained.

"I miss my friends back in America, but the UK is pretty fun if you think about it from an outsider's point of view. Because America wouldn't have existed if Britain didn't exist." Grace rambled.

"Do I hear a nerd near me?" Tom laughs while the female playfully elbowed him with an amused grin.

"It was one of the few subjects that I could enjoy because of the cultures and art styles in each era. That and English with all of the stories we had to read." She explained. The girl sets her tablet to the side to start playfully hitting the boy in front of her. His expression went from shocked to a challenged one real quick.

The two eventually started chasing one another and all they could hear was their laughter and breathing. Hearts beating fast as they had so much fun. Both wishing that they had known each other back when they were kids. And that's when they began to falter in their chase of fun. The adrenaline slowing to a stop as they get lost in thought about the 'what could haves'.

Tom clears his throat, catching Grace's attention. "I guess we both had too much fun doing that. Reminds me of something my friends do in a videogame."

"I think I owe you my last name as well, since I didn't use it in my introduction. My full name is Grace Villin." She states. He begins to laugh upon hearing her last name.

"Villin? Are you secretly a bad guy from a story? Am I going to get kidnapped after becoming friends with you?" Tom asked while still laughing. Grace chuckled at the question.

"If I'm the bad guy, why would I kidnap you? The only potential I see in you is how you would be a perfect model for my examples in making a portfolio for graphic design. Any girl would try and date you if they went only for your looks."

Tom glanced away to hide the frown from her compliment. She didn't know who he was as either persona. Tom the Model and TommyInnit. But it didn't settle too well with her observation.

Grace and Tom head back to the bench to find the three siblings waiting for their older sister. And the twins were smirking when they saw Grace with a boy.

"You finally socialized? That's new." Theta commented as the pair arrived. Clay stared at Tom as if he was trying to determine if he would be allowed to be around his older sister. Amber eyes staring into baby blue eyes for a few seconds before Clay broke it. Tom was relieved that the staring contest had ended.

"You seem special. Grace is lucky she met you." he states.

This confused everyone but they accepted Clay's weird comment. Niyah then turned towards Grace, tablet in hand.

"When we get home, I want to show you something that is so funny." She began. Her older sister sighed in response. "Before you show me anything, what is it about?"

"It's just an animatic of some streamers Theta and I watch. This animatic is mostly about a streamer called BadBoyHalo. Just some funny moments from his streams on the Dream SMP." Niyah explained.

"What kind of name is BadBoyHalo? Sounds like someone on an emo arc of their life. Probably wears black as his main color." Grace points out. Tom on the other hand, is laughing and knew that he was going to totally tell Bad that later on in a stream. And he knew that the fans would go wild with that assumption on who he was.

Theta was also chuckling at his sister's comment. It seemed like the twins had some work to do with Grace and her knowledge of the MCYT community.

"You have a lot of learning ahead of you sis. Basic information on BadBoyHalo, he is actually one of the sweetest members on the Dream SMP. He refuses to use swear words and says 'Muffin' or something relating to food to replace swear words. The only person on the server who purposely provokes him. TommyInnit." Niyah summarizes.

Grace chuckles and Tom becomes anxious about what would be said about him. And his body tenses as his new friend spoke.

"You make him sound like a villain. From what you're telling me, TommyInnit likes to provoke BadBoyHalo because of the content that follows whenever something happens between them. This TommyInnit probably has funny streams if you two seem to watch these people."

Tom let out the breath he had been holding when Grace had basically said that he did that for content. Which was partly true to some degree. It was also pretty hilarious whenever he could go on for a good while before Bad left the call.

"Anyways, can we go home now? We've been here for a bit and I'm hungry." Clay mentions.

Tom glanced at his phone and realized he was going to be late for the photo shoot. The twins mumble about how they were ready to go home as well. Grace, however, didn't want to end this interesting day so soon. But a silent message between her and Tom spoke loud and clear as the two handed each other their phones and input their numbers. With that out of the way, The two went off in different directions. Grace and her siblings walking and Tom sprinting to his shoot before he was lectured on being late.
