JULIE.
__________________________________ (EDITED)
The sound of her alarm fills her ears. After many snoozes, it finally served the purpose it was made for. Julie tiredly checks the time on her phone. "Shit." She initially was supposed to be up by 12 pm to prepare for her first stream of the weekend, but it was now 2:45, and she had nothing planned. It wasn't that Julie didn't care about streaming, it was just that recently, she'd been so tired. She'd been grinding to get to this point for years, had gained a great audience, and still couldn't be time-consistent to save her life.
She hastily got up and went to her bathroom to brush her teeth, shower, and make herself presentable. It wasn't like this was abnormal of her, her followers and subscribers knew that she was always late and that she would make up for it somehow. She just loathed the idea of letting her supporters down, especially since they're always so accepting of her. She averaged around 8-10k viewers, and had a pretty supportive community. Julie started streaming around a year ago, transitioning from a YouTuber to a full-time streamer. She didn't regret it in the slightest, and wouldn't trade it for the world. Somehow though, she felt as if she didn't do enough to show it.
After getting ready, she quickly gathered packages from her room to take to her office. It was nearing a week since she'd originally gotten the packages from the post office, and decided that today would be a good day to finally get into it.
As she booted up her PC, she wondered if this would all work out, being that streaming was very different from YouTube. Could she really get away with being late like this? Would her followers still even bother to join? Attempting to brush those thoughts away, she pressed the "start stream" button, and made her announcement.

As chatters flooded in, all of Jules' doubtful thoughts slowly began to fade away.
JulesBraStrap: MAKE SOME NOISE YALL WTF!! nickifan572: HI BAEEEE kaicenatsrighttoe: WHERE HAVE U BEEN BITCH?? dyin2live: what if they die in the end or sum lol SHAKEYODREADSS: AGENT WANTS TO PLAY WITH YOU!!!
There was one specific comment that caught her attention. "Agent wants to play?" She unintentionally read aloud. "Agent who?" She knew exactly what Agent they were talking about, but was somewhat confused. She and Agent were very well aware of each other's streaming careers, and she was painfully aware of how popular he was, and how he'd found a group of friends that he did content with.
Julie didn't have many friends in the industry, or in general.
Up until this moment, they'd decided to dislike each other in peace, and to just not acknowledge each other's existence as a whole. They'd both left Toronto years prior, Julie moving to Dallas, and him moving to Atlanta. They hadn't spoken in years, which made her wonder why he was trying to be friendly with her now.
Especially after that moment they had senior year.

AGENT.
" I can wager anybody chat, I'm undefeated!" Agent had just recently beat Kai Cenat in a gaming wager, and won 30K from it. His bank account rose, and his ego did too. Though it was just a lighthearted comment, his chat took it as a challenge.
agentsnutrag: shut up forehead bigbuns384: WWW allabthtbass38: u should go against julezcorner!! She's rlly good at fort.
"Agentsnu— bro WHY is that your name??" He exclaimed. His chat was obviously a little more wild than Jules', but he knew it was all jokes. Agent had been on live for around two hours, and was looking to play with someone—preferably another streamer. Apparently people aren't too inclined to try and play with you after you just beat someone for 30k.
TTS: YOU SHOULD PLAY WITH JULEZCORNER.
Agent had to stop himself from making a displeased face. He'd already seen someone say it in chat, but tried to ignore it. When it's an AI voice reading it out loud to him and his 10k+ viewers though, it makes doing so significantly harder.
He thought about it for a moment, no more than three seconds. "I mean shit, if Juliana is down to play, I am too!" he exclaimed. Between Julez and agent, the latter was better at video games in his childhood. That was one of the many things they used to argue about. He also loved to get under her skin, and one of the main ways he did so was calling her by her full name, Juliana. He wasnt sure why it upset her so badly, but it didn't matter much to him. If she was still the same girl she was when they were children, he knew that she'd never turn down a challenge.
After that day in detention, Julie was more rude to him than she'd ever been. He had no idea why. He almost thought that they'd become friends, but he was clearly mistaken. They weren't even cordial.
He wasn't innocent either though, he knew that. He made sure to give her the exact same energy she gave him.
His gut told him that the wiser option would've been to just pretend the TTS had never played altogether, but there was a part of him that was somewhat infatuated with her. He wondered why after them being on the same platform, she still had never attempted to contact him, or at least acknowledge his existence. It bothered him more than he'd like to admit. He had so many contradicting thoughts about her, which irritated him deeply.
He still didn't like her though. Never in a million years.
____________________________________ A/N: FIRST CHAPTER DONE OMGGGG!! I didn't really like this one, and Ima just warn yall that Agent might be a littleeeeee (a lot) out of character. This was initially way longer but i felt like it was way too wordy tbh. I got y'all w/ some filler later tho!! Don't be a silent reader either, y'all gotta make me laugh or sum! But anywayss lmk if yall liked it and want the next chapter!
