The Smosh Effect

Chapter 1. Welcome to Smosh!

The air in the Smosh office buzzed with a chaotic energy that was equal parts, exhilarating, and terrifying. Y/n clutched her bag tighter, feeling like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole as she navigated the halls. She landed a job at Smosh as part of the crew after months of interviews and auditions, but now, faced with the reality of actually being there surrounded by faces, she'd only ever seen on her computer screen a wave of nervousness threatened to take over.

"Hey!, You're Y/n right?" a voice, friendly and familiar cut through her nervous thoughts. Y/n turned to see a girl with brown hair and eyes. "I'm Amanda! Welcome to the team."

"Thanks" Y/n managed, her anxiety easing slightly. Amanda had always been one of her favorite Smosh cast members, with her positive energy and infectious laugh that always brought a constant source of entertainment. Seeing her in person just as genuine and approachable as she appeared on camera was strangely reassuring.

"Don't let the chaos intimidate you," Amanda winked, leading her down the hallway. "It's all a part of the charm. Speaking of charm, come meet everyone else."

they entered a room where a bunch of activities and inside jokes flew over Y/n's head. Amanda Effer navigated the space introducing Y/n with enthusiasm.

"Court, this is Y/n, the new cast member." Amanda said when you approached Courtney sitting at her desk. "And this is Shayne." Amanda said that she nodded him sitting across from Courtney.

"Nice to meet you both" Y/n sad, feeling a blush creep up her neck, obviously she knows who both of them are because of her love for the channel, but it was so different meeting them in person after only seeing them online.

The four of them all got to know each other over the next half hour when Amanda suggested they go meet other cast members. Amanda took Y/n to meet Chanse, Tommy, and some of the crew before ending up at Angela's desk.

" And last, but certainly not least" Amanda said her voice softening slightly, "this is Angela."

Y/n's gaze followed Amanda's landing on a girl seated at her desk hunched over her laptop with so much focus. You think she was diffusing a digital bomb. She had her hair pulled back into a messy bun which revealed delicate features and eyes that seemed to of unspoken stories. Angela looked up the two approaching, flicker of surprise, crossing her face before melting into a shy smile.

"Hi!" Angela greeted her voice soft. "It's so nice to finally meet you."

"You too!" Y/n replied, her stomach doing a strange little flip-flop. There was some thing about angela, and aura of kindness and understated beauty that threw her in. Maybe it was the way her eyes crinkled at the corners when she smiled with the way she spoke. Whatever it was Y/n couldn't help but feel a spark, a connection that went beyond the usual awkward first meeting.

" Alright lovebirds, save it for the bloopers" Shayne's voice boomed from across the room, effectively shattering the moment. Y/n felt her cheeks warm, but to her relief angela just rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"Ignore him," she said, her smile widening "He's thrives on awkwardness."

"Don't we all?" Y/n countered, earning a genuine laugh from angela. And then that shared moment of humor, amidst the organized chaos, Y/n knew this was more than just a new job. It was a start of something exciting, some thing that had the potential to be special.
