My Link - A Story

Where the FireTruck is my Phone?

I felt my body was so numb, but I heard people talking. "You touched her? Are you stupid? She has social anxiety that is the whole reason she is even here. She was bullied at school because she didn't talk. She has just started to talk to anyone and you might have just sent her back were we started and it hasn't even been three days!" "Man I'm sorry I didn't know." I started moving my hand and opening my eyes. "Jovie. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Josh rushed over to me. I laughed. "I might be better if I know who all these people." "Oh right!" Josh helped me up and introduced me his co-workers. The bowl-haired man was Ian, I gave him a hug and thanked him for the food battle bedding. There was a taller guy with black hair kinda looked like tan, I found out he was Anthony. He and Ian ran everything and were in charge.

Of course I knew about Flitz and Mari, but was introduced anyways. Sohinki and Lasercorn AKA Matt and David were the last to be introduced, but I knew of them from one of Joven's vlogs. Wes stood in the corner looking sad because he wasn't introduced to me. So I decided to be a smart ass and introduce him. "Hey everyone, this is Wes! I met him at the airport after he rode the carousel with my suitcase. Oh and he lives across the hall from me and we share a bathroom." I crinkled my nose. "SO pray for me."

Everyone erupted in laughter. It was great, but eventually they all went back to whatever they were doing before. I stayed in the green room to watch them film 'Top 5'. It was pretty cool, especially when Joven got upset about the Wii sports accessories pack. With Matt and David adding in comments, I had to suppress my laughter. Once Josh was done, He laid in the floor with me. "Wanna go get some lunch?" I nodded not really wanting to say anything. We left the building and went to get some TACOS! I was so excited. Once we got back to HQ, we put down our food in the conference room. I sat down and started situating my tacos with sauce when everyone came in with their meals. Mari sat beside me so we could talk. "So Lauren, What are you hoping for from Santa this year?" Josh almost choked on his soda when she asked that. "You do know she is seventeen right?" David started staring at me creepily. "But Santa Corn needs to know what to get the little children of Smosh want for Christmas." I shook my head. Josh had some strange friends. I took a bite out of my taco really enjoying it, but then Anthony rushed into the room holding a stack of papers. He set it down in front of me. "What is this?" Anthony scratched the back of his neck. "Well, um ya know, a contract? I assumed you would end up in a video, and well we would pay you for it. And we can pay you if you helped with setup, editing, and filming ideas. So you can look this over and sign it. We will pay you, it won't be much but it'll be something." Anthony left the room. I thought about it and looked over what it said. It was mainly stuff about Smosh owning certain rights, company image, and legal stuff.

I just signed my name quickly and handed it to Ian. "Is this good?"

He looked at me strangely, "Well duh, all ya gotta do is sign it and shit, and then if we wanna film you to put on the internet and exploit your social life, we shall." Ian laughs evilly. "Just kidding, but you should be in a video in the next week." "I'll think about it." With that I went back to eating my taco. Once lunch was over I went back to Josh's desk to find my phone, but it wasn't there. I wondered around the office for the next hour looking for my phone, but I couldn't. Flitz stopped me and whispered in my ear, "Ian has your phone." I hugged Flitz and made my way into the room where I knew Ian and Anthony were doing some kind of work. I cracked the door to see what they were doing. Ian had his earphones in and Anthony was too busy playing a game on the Xbox to notice me. I snuck up behind Ian right on his shoulder, waiting on the song to change. I heard the music stop and decided to whisper closely, "Give me my phone please." Ian jumped up and tripped over his chair and landed right on top of me. We laid there for a second. It was super awkward with our faces extremely close. "Ian, can you get off of me and give me back my phone?" He smirked and slid off my phone from his bag. "Only if you agree to go get coffee with me tomorrow morning to talk about this." I nodded smiling like an idiot. "Now get off me you donut loving douche!" Ian gave me a sideways look then getting up. "I didn't think you were a Smosh fan." "I'm not but I do know you decorated my room with Mari, so I assumed you had the idea for donuts." Ian helped me off the floor. "Well, I gotta go. See you in the morning at 9?" Ian nodded and gave me a proper hug. I headed back to Josh's desk, laying in the floor behind him. "I'm done are you ready to go home?" "No I'm just going to lay here in the floor until I slowly decompose. Of course I'm ready to go!" I got up and collected my bag from under his desk. We exited the building and got in the car waiting on Wes to hurry up. I turned to Josh. "What time do have to go work in the morning?" "I don't, why do you ask?" "Oh, Ian invited me to go get coffee in the morning and to talk about what happened today." "That's awesome that he wants to get you to do videos on the main channel! I can't wait to see what he and Anthony have come up with." I laughed to myself awkwardly. I mentally face-palmed. I had just lied to Josh, but in a round-about way. This was awkward as shit. I had never had friends before and it was great. My phone buzzed with a text from Flitz:

BAE WE HAVE TO TALK! CALL ME WHEN YOU GET HOME AND ARE AWAY FROM JOV AND WES...
