"Stupid alarm." I huff. My body lets out a long yawn, stretching my body as I get up. Open my curtains, sunlight shining beautifully through my window.
"Its going to be a good day!" I tell myself, smiling at my words.
My right hand gravitated towards the phone on the counter, I then head to the kitchen, "Hmm.... what to make today..."
I scrolled on TikTok wondering what video I should post as I think about breakfast as well.
I keep seeing this "Grimace Shake" trend everywhere. People seem to love it so why not? Then again the trend does seem quite... extensive and a tad terrifying. I know it's not real.
Grabbing my keys I head out the door, taking a breath of the fresh air. It really is beautiful morning.

It's been about fifteen minutes, I'm already in the McDonald's drive-thru. Nobody was out this early in the morning, besides the people who had to get to work.

What if it is real?
Nah, don't be a kid Lisha. It's obviously fake, why did I even question it?

"Hi welcome to McDonald's, What would you like today?"

"Two Grimace shakes, and three Egg-McMuffins please!"

"Alrighty dude, you're total is on the screen, pull up please."
I nod as if they could see me then I laugh at myself. Myself had pulled up to the window and sat there tapping on the wheel making little songs in my head. Someone opened the window to me humming and tapping on the wheel... I feel the blood rush to my face. This is making me feel stupid. CRAP! I forgot to grab my card- I roll down my window and grab my card hurriedly.
"Sorry-!"

This is embarrassing.. I'm never going here again.

"Its okay— Wait! You're... Lisha?. Like you're Skellies on Twitch right?" They grab my card, "You're one of my favorite streamers.. Could I get a picture maybe?"
I smile, "Of course!"
They hand me my card, and I put it in my purse. They pull their phone out of their pocket and fix their hair whilst I fix mine.
They take a few pictures and post it tagging me, with my permission of course, I post it too and tag them.
"See you around!" I say, pulling up to the next window.
"You too!"
I wait at the next window for not even a second and there was a tall skinny man standing there. Looked tired and irritated. Makes sense, working at McDonald's is probably tough. He widens his eyes at me, looking at me like he just saw a ghost. The window he was at is open, so is mine. He doesn't say a word and walks away. A different man handed me my drinks, telling me to have a good day.

Another fifteen to ten minutes went by, I had just arrived home. Stepping out the car, I take a breath of fresh air. The air didn't feel as good as it did earlier. I exhale slightly disappointed, I won't let that make me upset.

My phone was practically blown up with notifications, getting a few at least every ten seconds. I smile at myself, I was proud of myself for making it this far with my career. I was always told I wouldn't make it into the streaming industry because of my sex. It's so irritating how much they lay on you because of it.

Why can't everybody just be nice?

Shutting the door behind me, My hand stretched to lock it making sure nothing will get in. My mouth couldn't help but yawn again. I don't think I can do this anymore. I need to start sleeping earlier than usual. My mind couldn't get off of this show I've been trying to finish. So... I had to finish it.

At three in the morning.

I huff, setting the grimace shakes on the counter. My hand reaches out to set the phone down, tapping record.

"Alright everyone, today I'm going to be trying the Grimace Shake!" I look at it, This felt cringey.

My lights flicker, good for this video I guess. "Well, lets go for it!" I smile, taking a drink. I kept telling my body not to gag, there was something terribly wrong with this drink. How could anyone deal with this taste. Tapping the button to stop recording, I settle my body to get ready for the next part. I start by spilling it all over the floor, This feels like such a waste though it tastes horrible. I feel bad.

I take a breath, grabbing my phone to record it. My mouth spit the shake all over the floor, making me feel like I was going to throw up. My body started to tense up making my mouth want to close. I went to breathe but that caused me to choke on the shake. Shortly after I had thrown up.

Nobody was going to know, they know it's all fake anyways.. That felt so gross to think about.

I'm done recording so I force myself up to clean this mess. After rinsing my mouth out I decided to clean up, then I had used Febreze spray. Inhaling, exhaling it felt a lot more smooth on my nostrils and nausea.

"Well, I won't be doing that ever again."

I sit down on the couch, getting ready to take a nap. I felt extremely exhausted.
