incoming call ;; dnf

I. wrong number

tw ;; slight cussing

a/n ;; as i was writing this i
realized i probably needed to clarify
the main story is written a bit in
the future, since george changed his
minecraft username to georgenotfound
in 2019 and dream's cursed video was
released in 2019 as well a couple
months before the username change.
don't ask why i know this, i was bored
so i was looking at what george and dream's minecraft usernames were before
they started lol george's was GRP before he changed it to his current user, and dream's was DeltaNinja, they both had really weird names haha, though mine were probably weirder to be quite honest

also this story is completely fictional, i'm trying to be as accurate as possible but some things might be misleading and some are just for the sake of the plot lol

needless to say, i didn't think any of this would've escalated into what it did.

i didn't expect this wrong number to actually be someone interesting. i answered as a joke.

in the past
(approximately 4 years prior)

it was a chilly, autumn evening. i had just gotten home from going out with my parents, as i had moved out a couple days prior but still wanted to visit them.

my room was still filled with a bunch of boxes and was very undecorated. it hurt to look at it. my office was already decorated as i had focused on that first. it was my first priority, since i desired to be a youtuber. i was still wondering what i wanted to do, but i had taken an interest in coding plus minecraft has always been one of my favorite games so probably something relating to that.

while i was lost in my thoughts, i had gotten a call. i looked at my phone, and raised my eyebrow in confusion. i didn't recognize the number whatsoever, not even the area code. i was just going to decline it, but i had an idea.

i decided to answer it, probably to joke around. i didn't know if i'd regret it in the future or just not think anything of it.

"yo nick, i'm almost done with the coding." the voice on the other end said. they sounded VERY american. i also didn't know who nick was, but they mentioned coding.

"sorry, i think you've got the wrong number." i said, but i didn't want them to hang up on me. i was genuinely interested in what they were doing. "though i'm interested, what are you guys coding?" there was a moment of silence. i wasn't sure why the guy wasn't answering.

"hello?" i sighed. they hadn't hung up yet.

"sorry, i... i don't know how i typed the number in so wrong. i also didn't expect someone with a british accent but i'm not complaining. we're working on a cursed youtube video." they answered. i wasn't sure what they meant by 'i didn't expect someone with a british accent but i'm not complaining.'

"it's completely fine. that sounds really interesting. kind of odd, but could i help with the coding? i've been planning on starting a youtube channel as well, and i've been learning how to code for a while now and not to brag but i'm pretty good." i laughed a bit, as i twiddled my thumbs out of nervousness. why would they even let a stranger help? quite a dumb question, don't know what i was thinking.
