[Brynn Rumfallo PoV]

The anxious crowd below me hollered as I was ready to leap off a helicopter that was flying three hundred feet in the air.

My pilot, Marina, gave me a heavy look.

"Are you sure you want to do this? It makes me worried to see a thirteen year old jump out of a plane."

I laughed.

"Well, there's no turning back! Oh, and its a helicopter, not a plane."

Before Marina had time to respond, I leapt from the plane, still hearing the crowd scream below me, and when I knew I was in the crowds sight, I did two consecutive front flips.

The crowd cheered louder as I pulled the black strap on my parachute, and landed on the grass safely.

I boasted as the press was taking pictures, and the bystanders were cheering loudly.

As I was scanning the crowd, I noticed a man in a black hoodie and sunglasses, who was writing something on a notepad and taking pictures of me.

I had an eerie feeling about this, but soon my mother escorted me into the nearest bathroom to change, and brought me back to our minivan, as I waved goodbye to the members left of the descending crowd.

That evening at nine o'clock and I was getting dressed when my phone went off, signaling I had a text message. Expecting it to be my best friend Mackenzie, I look at it, but it wasn't Mackenzie. It was an unknown number, whom simply just sent me-
'hello brynn.'

'Who is this???'

'You know who I am ;)'

'Tell me who you are or I'm getting the police.'

Of course that was a lie, but I wanted to scare him off.
The only reason I'm not deleting his number is because he may actually know me, like maybe its my Uncle Rob, or my Aunt Belle, or my cousin Clarke, or someone like that.

'Haha. I never knew a dare devil had a sense of humor!
I'll just get to the point.
Brynn Rumfallo, you are a major dare devil. I love how risky and dangerous you are. I am hosting a reality television show titled 'Risk Takers.' You will get an information slip in the mail soon, just thought I would let you know now. On my show, people do very dangerous things, but the winner will receive a cash prize and fame! Now goodbye, seeya soon!'

I read the message over a couple times, but I couldn't believe it.

And how does this person know my address?

In fact, who is this person?

A/N-
this was extremely sucky, I know, but it will get better.

I wrote this on July 11, so I just published the draft. Bear with me. 😂

based off the movie 'nerve'
