            Hannah woke up with a start and an eyebag, a smile already beaming in her face. The birds were singing, her art projects and commissions were finished even before it was 3 o'clock! She managed to get a 2 hour sleep—indeed it was a sign.

Despite the gray world for today, the sun felt very bright. She showered quickly and changed to her uniform. Downstairs, Thomas flipped perfect, circular pancakes as Sabrina videod it and posted it on Tiktok.

Hannah messed his neat, slicked back hair as she greeted them jovially, “Good morning!”

Thomas grumbled, smartly as he shoved her hand away and flicked his hair back. “Go away, you are ruining my Tiktok.”

Hannah rolled her eyes as she made her way to the coffee maker and grabbed her mug.

Sabrina cutted in, excitement bubbling in her little figure, “Tommie, someone made the heart heart thing and commented.”

She shoved the phone to the equally excited boy as they both read out the comments. “‘Sick flip’ oh yeah!” And they high-fived. “‘How did you do that??? 7 pancakes stacked VERTICALLY?’”

Thomas smartly hollered. “Precise calculations!”

“Wait, someone said that it was an edit and green screen and that you are a,” Sabrina furrowed her eyebrows. “Fraud. He said.” She perked her head to Thomas. “What's a greenscreen and fraud, Tommie.”

“Who?” Thomas snarled, smartly and darkly as he snatched the phone in haste. “I shall dox him.”

The eldest sibling—who was somehow sipping coffee and eating at the same time—spluttered out bits of pancakes and coffee as she choked. “What the fuck? Don't.”

Sabrina looked at Hannah. Then at Thomas who smartly admonished his older sister. “Tommie, what's fuck?”

“Okay, yeah no.” Hannah looked for an immediate distraction. “Since you wanna be viral, why don't we look for the trending videos right now and copy it?”

“That's just plagiarism.”

“You almost doxxed a stranger online.”

For the first time, Thomas huffed smartly in defeat. So, for five minutes Hannah slurped the pancakes as the three hunched on the phone. It was fun and all until Hannah recognized a face.

“Rue has a TikTok? Didn't she say it's an exploitation of entertainment or something like that?” It was so unlike her but it was her. Even with the grayed vision Hannah would recognize those sharp, pretty features marred by soft, wavy hair. “She has 2 million subscribers?!”

Thomas scowled smartly at that. “I do not even understand. She simply stared at the camera and did some weird faces. It's very popular. Then, the next was like some strawberries with chocolates but like really, really close.”

Hannah wrinkled her nose as she began to process some of the comments.  “‘Please I can fit in your empty shoulder bag’? What on earth. Stalker much? How on earth did they know? ‘i wish my girl looked like you.’” She raised her eyebrows. “Yikes my dude. That's fucked up.”

Thomas' phone was ceremonially grabbed by his owner who smartly suggested to Sabrina that they should try to post something again. Hannah, grabbed her phone from her back pocket and began to furiously smash her fingers to her phone, as she followed Rue's account. She then switched to her Messenger.
