and i oop...

two

pov: mae's

location: on the bus

time: 7:42am

i click on instagram first, and i have 167 dm's and a couple thousand followers... the funny thing is, i have no posts. i am so confused that i feel myself getting dizzy and i have a few heart palpitations. i open my dm's and most of them say shit like, 'omg ur so pretty wth?' and one from my bestfriend says, 'omg i guess ur famous now!.'

the pretty comments are really scary because as i said, i have no posts, so how do they know what i look like. i quickly message riley back asking her what the fuck she means by, 'famous.' she instantly replies back saying, 'check tiktok...'

i almost drop my phone by how fast my fingers are moving, and i open the app. i have thousands of likes, comments and follower notifications so i click on my profile and realise what i have done. i have fucking posted one of my drafts. i quickly click on it to see how bad it is. thankfully it's not the worst, but it's still pretty bad. i'm dancing to the 'woah' sound, in my sweats and looking like trash...

i look through the 1.3k comments and i begin to feel sick, most of them are nice and supportive, saying stuff like, 'omg ur so pretty,' and 'ur woah is good,' and other random shit. but i see other comments such as 'holy shit your hot,' and 'who wants to fuck her---->.' that last comment made me want to yeet myself out of the bus into the middle of the road. not only the actual comment, but the fact that it has a hundred or so likes. i immediately delete the app and put my music on high volume so that i can stop thinking about that app.

location: mae's high school

time: 8:02am

the bus pulled into my high school and i immediately got off and made my way into school. i rushed to my locker and grabbed my books for the first periods, i then slammed the door shut and walk-ran down the hallway where my best friend riley was waiting for me at her locker. 

"i guess you are famous now," riley giggles. 

"i want to die!" i roll my eyes. "i don't even know how that happened... i must have posted one of my drafts." 

"what else is in those drafts?" riley winks, grabbing my phone out of my hand. she logs in with her touch id and goes straight to my apps.

"i deleted it..." 

"phat rip. why?" riley looks at me with her piercing green eyes. 

"i don't know, just that whole thing gave me anxiety, like-" 

"hey mae, your ass looks great in those sweats!" some random junior called out to me, his friends all looking me up and down like i am a piece of meat.

riley grabs my arm and we move off towards homeroom. we begin to walk up the stairs, and i hear other dickheads whistling and catcalling to me. any other girl would enjoy it but i don't like that kind of attention, it's disgusting. we go into homeroom and sit down at the back of the classroom. 

"jack just called out to you!" riley goes all crazy, fangirling over this whole situation... "and after you get even more famous on tiktok, you can start a youtube channel and then go to the emmy's..."

"sure," i can't help but laugh at her fantasies. 

the homeroom teacher comes in and we do the roll and the class goes back to talking. i don't know what i'm going to do... should i go back on tiktok or just pretend like nothing happened and go back to my boring basic bitch life?
