Just a Fan| HBR

Chapter 1

"Can he please have my babies already?" I said.
"Honestly, truly." My best friend Victoria said.

My name is Layla, I'm 16 years old, and I live in Houston. I live a pretty normal middle-class life.

My best friend Victoria and I are obsessed with this boy named Hunter Rowland. I've been his fan since his cringe fboy musically days. (AN: that was a joke so don't get offended lol)

We were watching his Instagram live.
"So today I'm going to be guesting people." He said in his cute, raspy voice.
Victoria and I looked at each other at the same time.

"Let's request to be in his live!" Victoria said.
"I look disgusting! Hell no!" I said.
I had on a yellow tube top with sweatpants and my hair was in a messy bun.
"Shut up, you look fine! I'm requesting." She said.

"Hmmmmm, how about Victoriagrace03?" He said.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Victoria and I both screamed in union.

We both got in a cute stance as it was loading for us to be in his live.

Whenever we popped up on his screen, I literally wanted to screamed.
"Hello!" He said with his cute ass voice.
"Oh my gosh hi!" Victoria squealed.
"Now which one of y'all are Victoria?" He asked.
Victoria had always been the "more attractive friend" so I already knew she was going to get more attention then me.

"I am!" She said.
"Alright. Now who are you?" He said.
"Me?" I asked pointing at myself.
"Who else would he be asking Einstein?" Victoria asked in her sassy tone.
"I'm Layla." I said and then smiled.
"Layla...... that's such a pretty name." He said.
"Oh my gosh thank you!" I said and then squealed a little bit.
"So how old are you guys?"
"We're both 16." Victoria answered.
"Ahhhh I see." He said and then licked his lips.
"I'm gonna follow you Victoria." He said.
"Omg!!!! I love you so much!" She said while hyperventilating.
"I love you too. Well I'm gonna go guest other people but expect a text from me after the live."
"I will, I promise I will!" She said.
After the live, Victoria could not stop talking about what happened.
"Oh my gosh! Do you think I fangirled to much? Should I have had a more chill vibe?" She said while prancing.
"Girl chill. He wouldn't have followed you if he didn't like you." I said and then smiled.
"I guess."
Victoria received a call from her mom telling her to come home so she had to leave.

I started to get ready for bed and took off my little bit of makeup and put on some comfortable clothes.

I heard a knock on my door and my mom peeped her head through the door.
"Hey. Has Victoria left yet?" She asked.
"Yes." I said while looking down.
"Is everything ok?" She asked and then sat on the edge of my bed.
My mom is my favorite person in the world. Don't get me wrong, I love my dad as well. It's just my mom and I have a super close relationship and I always felt like I could tell everything to her.

"I guess. You know that Hunter kid that I'm obsessed with?" I asked.
She nodded her head.
"Well we got the opportunity to be on his Instagram live and he was really interested in her but not me..... and that's the way it has always been... everyone likes her but not me."

My mom had a saddened look on her face. I could only imagine that her own daughter telling her that everyone likes her friend but not her has to be pretty heart wrenching.

"Layla... I can't control how other people feel about you. But just know that some of the most important people in history were the unliked."

I smiled at my mom and pretended that her advice actually helped.
"I love you mom."
"I love you too." She said and then gave me a kiss on the cheek and left.

I decided to watch some YouTube and settle in for the night.
