"HEY UH, SOPHIA?" I poke her shoulder.

"Yes, Mimi?" She replies nonchalantly as she continues scrolling through her Instagram feed.

"That Wyatt guy - the one with the curly hair requested to followed me." I say as I show her my phone.

She grabs my phone and looks at the screen to find he indeed did follow her cousin.

"Huh, he is. Whatever, he's weird, but cool. You can follow him back if you want."

I nod and did so. I was about to exit out of Instagram when I received a text from my DM's.

I exit out of our conversation and went to Sophia's profile. I click the video and my eyes widen at the amount of views it got.

"1, 378, 095 VIEWS?!" I exclaimed.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Yeah, you're kinda viral. Have you seen the memes people have made?" Sophia asks.

I tune her out and search up the hashtag, and hundreds of videos of me in it pop up. I scroll through a few of them, laughing at some.

user1: me when i think life is going great until reality hits me #faceplantchallenge

user2: me #faceplantchallenge

Some of them are even people recreating my embarrassing moment.

user3: saw this on @sophialillis account and i had to do it! #faceplantchallenge

Sophia peeks over my shoulder. "I'm a genius, I made you famous. You should put your profile to public. You're going to get hundreds of fans because of this."

I shook my head, "Most of them are probably going to follow me because of you, being in the most popular horror movie right now. Besides, I'd rather keep my life private."

"It's kinda funny, actually. 'Cause when I'm bored, I look through photos I'm tagged in and I see all of these cool edits and hilarious photos. Some of the fan accounts do deep stalking and find pictures from our private accounts, I don't know how they do it, but it's creepy sometimes."

I completely forgot I was texting Wyatt and quickly went back to my DM's.

I shut my phone off and sigh deeply. Sophia is sleeping beside me and I pull the covers closer to me.

"You've been talking to Wyatt?"

I flinch, surprised that she is awake. "Yeah, and you're right, he is cool." I pause. "And pretty weird."

"Oh, trust me. The other boys are weird. They don't follow you, don't they?"

"Nope." I reply, popping the "p" in the end.

She shifts to her side, "I'll tell them to follow you in the morning."

I was too tired to fight back and tell her that she didn't have to, and I fall asleep through the sound of rain hitting against the window.
