We're so Young, but We're on the Road to Ruin

"Video Uploading...24%"

The most painful part; waiting.

I sit and stare at the computer screen, watching the percent go up; 37% to 42% back to 24%.

After about 15 minutes, the video is finally published. Now more waiting. More thinking. How will the fans react? Will they get mad that I "copied" him? Will they be weird about it?

The thoughts didn't linger long before notifications started coming in.

"OMG CALYPSORAE FACE REVEAL"

"AHHHH"

"YOU'RE SO PRETTY"

I'm thankful for all the positive comments, and thankful for my moderators deleting the nasty ones. Unsure what to do now, I start looking into the different creators attending TwitchCon.

*blooblop*

"A discord notification? I wonder- oh it's Schlatt".

We messaged back and forth for a little while, talking about TwitchCon and our face reveals. We both felt better knowing that we we're both actually who we said we were.

"Jschlatt is typing..."

Man, he's been typing a while. What, is he confessing or something?

"Hey since we both live in New York, do you want to hang out before next week?"

Oh. That was unexpected and took way too long to type.

"Sure, where should we meet up?"

We decided on a park halfway between us to meet up at 2pm tomorrow. I need to do laundry.

While looking through the cabinets for dinner, the front door flies open as I see Amarylliz's ginger hair fly in front of her face.

"YOU FACE REVEALED?! AND DIDN'T TELL ME?!"

Stunned, I stand there idly and without thoughts. I can't tell if she's actually mad or not.

"Calypso Rae, how dare you. Also, did you see Schlatt's tweet? Oh, and I brought home dinner".

Confused by the amount of tone changes in her words, I start with the most important thing to address.

"Whatcha get? Pizza?"

"Nope, I stopped and got some fettuccini with bread sticks."

"Fuck yeah. What tweet?"

Lizzie opens up her twitter as I watch over her shoulder, her feed is almost entirely about Taylor Swift. As she types Schlatt's username into the search, I feel my stomach drop in dread.

"Guys, obviously my number one fan is Calypso. She copied me".

Before I could even start reading the tweet, Lizzie starts giggling to herself. I don't get what's so funny and why this is so important that she had to yell at me about it?

"What are you laughing to yourself about, hm? Are YOU his biggest fan?"

"It's not what he said silly, look at the replies-"

I take her phone and scroll though them, starting to realize why she's giggling.

"Why are all these people saying we should date? Well, more than normal anyway. All we did was face reveal?"

"Lyps, it's because he said you're his biggest fan. They're making it into that you have a crush on him".

"Ugh, weirdos. Can we eat? I've been starving trying to find food for the past hour".

Lizzie opens the to-go bag as I grab our last plates from the cupboard. She starts to tell me about her day and something about how this one guy in her class almost caught fire or something, but I can't pay attention.

"And then this other guy- are you even paying attention? What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind with everything coming up".

"What things are making you worry? You weren't this stressed about the trip until now were you?"

I sigh, how do I tell her my plans for tomorrow when she was giggling over the tweet? I also don't feel like getting murdered though, so I have to tell her so I'm not alone.

"Well uh, after I posted my face reveal Schlatt messaged me on discord"

I look up and see her grinning the most stupid smile I've ever seen.

"And we got to talking about TwitchCon and how we are both flying in from New York, and then he asked if I wanted to meet up before we head out next week".

I look away from her, already knowing what she's about to say- or yell.

"DID YOU SAY YES?!"

"Yes, we are supposed to meet at this one park around 2 tomorrow. Do you-"

"CAN I COME?!"

It's almost like we have the same brain.

"I was just about to ask you that, I don't want to get murdered".

We spend the next hour or so talking about tomorrow and planning ahead for everything like our outfits, if anything bad happens, or if plans change. We throw our clothes in to the wash and Lizzie heads to bed. I stay up and watch TV while I wait to switch the laundry, and trying to distract myself from thinking about tomorrow.
