romeo and juliet. don't get me wrong it's good. there's just something about it i can't quite grasp. this something occurs in most literature; happily ever afters. like yeah i just watched my entire family get murdered but at least i have my prince back! they're pointless. but who am i to judge? maybe this story will be an exception.
our story starts off not long after the young, gorgeous, hit celebrity nariah constantino just released her newest film. the film consisted of all the pointless lovey dovey stuff movies do nowadays. same plot; different characters. but this one was slightly different. the love interest was normal. not an edgy murderer obsessed with slushies, not a 109 year old virgin vampire who falls in love with the clumsiest girl ever, not even the nerdy "nice guy" who gets bullied by the "bad guy". he was normal. of course the movie was devoured by fans.
nariah was walking down a street, head bowed towards her feet. there were paparazzi surrounding her, everywhere, eyes fixated on her. she just kept walking, as per usual. after taking hundreds of photos of her from every angle humanely possible, they started to disperse. soon enough, she was alone. it felt nice, nothing could be heard except the faint wind, which caused the trees to gently sway. she pulled out her phone and checked the time. 12:14pm. she was approaching a small, local cafe and decided to put it to the test.
as she got closer, the smell began to reach her, becoming stronger. it made her even hungrier. she took out her phone again, and began to scroll through twitter. one tweet in particular caught her eye. she liked it and continued scrolling. her eyes were glued to her phone, so fixated that she didn't notice the person walking towards her. he was also occupied, scrolling away on his phone.
they collided straight into each other, nariah nearly dropping her phone. "oh my god, im so sorry!" she frantically apologised. he just stood there in shock. "you look like-" he stammered. "nariah, yeah i get that a lot." she smiled awkwardly. then she hurried off into the bakery. "god that was awkward" she made a mental note; stay off twitter in public.

OMG SAPNAP HI☁︎︎irl☁︎︎
nariah was sat down, eating a bagel and scrolling through twitter. her mocha was sat next to her cooling down. her newest tweet already had over 12k likes. she bit into her bagel and it crunched. she fell in love with it. nariah had never actually been in love before, not romantically. she loved her best friends, her family and she loved food. but that was all.
just then, the bell rang, and everyones heads turned to the door. most of them looked away after a second, but nariah didn't. she couldn't. it was the guy she had bumped into outside. she hadn't had the chance to look at him properly before. now she had, and he was gorgeous. she analysed every detail of his face, taking it all in. his eyes scanned the room before landing on hers. they locked contact. he was holding a bunch of carnations. he then started approaching her. her eyes widened in shock as she sat up straight.
he was now standing directly in front of her.
"hi."he began
"um, hi?" she said.
"im really sorry about earlier." he extended his arm towards her, displaying the flowers.
"no- it wasn't your fault!" she reassured him.
"still, take the flowers."
"um, thanks," she took them off of him "do you wanna- sit down?" she motioned towards the chair. he sat down opposite her.
"im clay." awkwardly, he smiled.
"cool." she wasn't sure whether she should say her name. it might make him act differently.
"you're supposed to tell me yours now."
"mhm, i know. its nariah."his jaw dropped.
"as in-" he began.
she cut him off, "yeah, that one." then she winced, expecting him to react wildly.
"oh, that's cool!"
"you don't- you're not-" nariah struggled to form a sentence.
"no, i guess you could say i'm famous too."she was surprised, but happy. people rarely treated her like a normal human so this was a nice change.
"do you want anything?" she offered, handing him the menu. his eyes scanned the menu.
"are you sure?"
"yeah."☁︎︎
they had been sat there, making small conversation for about an hour. it was mainly just about her new movie, her life as an actor and just her in general. he had lots of questions, and she was happy to answer them.
"okay, well what about you?" she switched up the conversation.
"on twitter i have i think like 5 mil, shared between two accounts. on youtube like 36 mil. thats between like 4 accounts. 3.2 mil on instagram. nearly 6 mil on tiktok."
"why do you have so many accounts" she burst out in laughter.
"i just- they're a necessity." he made an attempt to defend himself.
"wait whats your twitter user, i wanna look you up" she asked.
"no."after a few minutes of begging, clay finally caved. "fine. its dreamwastaken or my other one is just dream." he mumbled. she sat there, silent. then came the laughter.
"like- dream? like as in- HAHA- dream?"
"why is that funny" he sat there awkwardly watching her lose it. she finally calmed down.
"sorry, i've heard of you before-" she got cut off by him. "you have!?" she nodded."you should make a video with me in! if you want of course."
"that's a good idea!"
they both smiled.☁︎︎twitter☁︎︎
