The Guest Filmer (cody carson × reader)

🤟chapter 1🤟

*video POV*
"Hello everyone! This is (yn) coming to report some strange news. Sources tell me that this innocent girl was found dead on the crime scene. We are not able to report what the cause was.. But we will report back when we find out..." I stop as I see a friend in the background smile at me making inside jokes. " cut!" I say loudly.

"What?" My friend Izzy asked. "I was only trying to clear the air.." She said laughing. Trying to stop herself from falling to the ground.

I look at her smiling, trying to stop myself from laughing. "We need to get this done! Remember this is due in less than two days." I say to her.

"I know. I know." She says. She then starts to think. "Soooo.. You know that band you are always talking about?" She starts to smile.

"Yes. Set it off? What about them?" I asked confused. What was she up to this time?

"Well I'm not sure if its a locked on thing, but, some rumors are starting up and people are saying that they are going to have a contest and whoever wins gets tour passes.. For the entire tour!" She squeals. I narrow my eyes a bit. Suspicious.

"and how would you know.. I mean you say you aren't a fan." I say smirking as I wait for her response. This is going to get good.

She starts to stutter. "W well um sme of my internet friends are talking about it.. And so" I stop her in her tracks.

"And what do you talk about?" I smirk. I know I got her now. This was the best thing ever. Finally getting the confession.

"Truth is I make theories about set it off with them and I'm part of the "freaks"." She says. Hanging her head. She then looks up at me. "If it is true we could try to do whatever the contest is!"

I squeal like a little girl. I instantly grab my phone and look through instagram. I go to set it off's page and look through. They have a lot of cryptic messages and shit on here.

she hops over to me and looks over my shoulder. "This is the stuff we have been theorising about!" She says excitedly. I then look at a picture that has words all over it. But something was off about it. There was one little dot of color that caught my eye. I first took a screenshot, then I looked at the comments.

Fanacc: this is so cool.. But I don't get it
         Fanacc2: replying to @fanacc me either.

And a whole bunch of other stuff like that.

I looked at izzy. She looked at me with a puzzled face. "I think I'm on to something.. Do you see anything out of the BLUE here?" I asked. She shakes her head. "Watch this." I say as I zoom in on the screenshot and have her look at the words that were in blue.

She reads aloud, "contest coming soon" she says slowly. She looks at me again in surprise. "Dude none of us saw that except for you.. How?"

"Since I major in art right now I can tell different hues of a color. And look at this." I say as I compare colors for her. "This may be hard to see because the screen is filled with all dark blue.. So your eyes fill in the rest." I explain. "The words are also hard to see because they altered the color very slightly therefore making your brain think its like the others."

She looks at me in shock. "You are one smart gal!" She says. "Wouldn't it be funny if they start the contest today or sometime this week?" She asks. I nodded my head.

"Alright well can have our theories later at our dorm. But right now we have to keep filming." I say in excitement but also sternly.

She nods her head. "Alright Cheif! Let's do this!" And with that we continued to film.

*later that day*

"Hey how is the editing going?" Izzy asked. She seemed bored at the moment so I turned on my music. It went to shuffle and it randomly played "N. M. E.".

"Its going good just a little more time and it should be finished! Our film professor will have a laugh at this!" I say as I finish. All of a sudden I get a notification. My eyes grow wide as I look at izzy.

"What!" She asks intreaged by what I saw. I got to Instagram to see the notification. I read it aloud. "Not many of you seemed to figure that picture out but who ever did will know that it starts now!" - @setitoff "

She looks at me. We both squeal. We decided to comment on the post.

@(youruser) my friend and I figured the picture out what's the contest?

I sent in the comment and within minutes I got a reply.. But in my dms.
"congrats! You guys are 1 out of the 50 people that figured it out within the time frame! The contest is whoever can make the best video for "N.M.E" good luck and have fun!"

We instantly thanked them and started coming up with ideas.
So far its amazing.
