(thoughts are in bold)
*ding*
you fly up to grab your phone and see if the notification is the one you want to see.
sure enough, it is.
"OH MY GOSH"
you open it to see what thomas said to you.
"Hey y/n! Love that tik tok that you posted. You seem like the type of person we could use at the hype house. You're pretty, you're starting to gain a following on tik tok, and people seem to like you a lot. If you're up for it, I can fly you out and you can hang out with us for the weekend so everyone at the house can meet you and we can see how they feel. Sounds good?"
this is actually the best thing that has ever happened to me
although your hands are shaking, you typed back to him.
"That sounds AMAZING! When were you thinking?"
ok that sounds good
i think?
oh gosh do i sound weird??
while you were to busy overthinking, you don't even realize that thomas answered you.
you look down at your phone to see a short message.
"tomorrow?"
TOMORROW. HE JUST SAID TOMORROW.
without thinking or checking with your mom you say...
"Yes. Perfect. Tomorrow sounds great."
thomas reads the message instantly.
within seconds he writes back.
"Ok, Ill send you your flight information by tonight. Can't wait to meet you :)"
wow
this is really happening
im going to be on a flight to Los Angeles in 24 hours
you lay back down on your bed and look up to your ceiling trying to take everything in.
while focusing on a piece of chipped paint hanging from the corner of your ceiling, you list in your head all the people that you're going to get to meet tomorrow.
thomas
mia
alex
kouvr
calvin
vinnie.
im going to meet vinnie hacker
ever since that huge tiktoker vs. youtuber fight that happened last week, vinnie has been what EVERYONE is talking about on tik tok. every girl is practically obsessed with him.
looking down at your phone, you see that your tik tok notifications are still blowing up.
you go to check your account and see 75.2k followers.
you decide to go downstairs as your mom is walking into the house.
well, now is probably a good time to tell her
"so i texted that boy that reached out to me."
"oh that's great. what did he say?
"he invited me to fly out to Los Angeles to hang out with him and his friends to see if i'm a good fit to work with them. all of the travel expenses are paid by him."
"well before you answer him that's something we need to ta-"
"i said yes."
"you said WHAT??"
"i know i'm sorry, i should've asked you first. there were just so many emotions going through my head, i just had to say yes."
"y/n, you're 18, you are going to be going to college, not becoming an influencer."
"just because i go visit them for the weekend doesn't mean i'm going to decide not to go to college. it's just to get a feel of them and how they are. and who knows, maybe they won't even like me."
"fine. you can go this weekend. but you better make good choices."
"i will mom, i promise."
you walk back up to your room and stare at your closet.
what am i going to bring?
flipping through shirt after shirt, you can't seem to find any that really catches your eye.
until you see a pretty black tank top that has criss crossed straps in the back
perfect. not to fancy but also not boring.
next, you grab a silk dress that you have yet to wear.
maybe we will go out to dinner?
after looking through your closet for a few more minutes, you finally get together two outfits.
you lay them out on your bed and turn to your dresser.
scattered across the top of your dresser lay multiple pieces of jewelry.
admiring each of them one by one, you decide on 1 necklace and 4 rings
next, you go over to your vanity. you don't own a lot of makeup. just mascara, lipgloss, and highlight because that is all you ever wear.
i feel like this isn't enough makeup for LA
after having second thoughts about the stuff you're deciding to bring, you facetime daria to get her advice
"hey dar"
"hey"
"so thomas texted me and i texted him back"
"no way what did he say?"
"he is flying me out tomorrow to meet with everyone to see if i'm a good fit to be apart of the hype house."
"YOU'RE JOKING."
"nope"
"holy crap"
"i know right"
"have you started packing yet?"
"that's what i called you about."
you show her the outfits, jewelry, and makeup you are bringing.
"is this cute?"
"SO cute. everyone is going to love you there."
having daria say that gave you a lot of reassurance that everything was going to be ok.
"thank you for giving me your input, truly."
"anytime girl. text me tomorrow when you're about to get on the plane."
"i will."
"bye famous girl"
her saying that made you laugh. ending the call you go into the bathroom to shower.
"hey siri, play my shower playlist on apple music."
placing your phone back on the bathroom counter, you step into the shower.
