You would think being Silkyâs cousin or sister as he insists, means that you would be familiar with his group of streamer friends considering that you are too a streamer but youâre wrong.
Always traveling to different locations to film content and even most of those places have little to no signal. You werenât really updated that much from his life. Another point to this is that you and your cousinâs content doesnât really go into the same genre.
Although you do call each other from time to time to catch up, anything deep into streamer things was never really discussed. You do know that he along with some of his friends left their last group and created a new one named Core.
Having started streaming a few years after him, the two of you agreed to keep your connection private. It wasn't exactly a secret, you'd both admit you were cousins if anyone ever asked but neither of you went out of your way to mention it over the years.
The decision had mostly been his. He never wanted any of the attention or the occasional drama that was tied with him to spill over onto you. By keeping your family connection lowkey, he hoped you'd be able to build your own community without being caught in the crossfire of his.
Time flew past after that. Cause the next time you two called each other again was after 5 months of no contact. it happens when youâre currently stuck in the middle of nowhere in Antartica i guess.
Silky mentioned that applications for Streamer University was currently happening. You had watch some clips of it when it happened last year and it looked like so much fun. You just hadnât been able to join cause youâd been deep in the amazon forest filming a youtube video.
âYouâre going to apply to Streamer University this year right?â. Jerry's voice snapped you out of your thoughts, reminding you that you were still on the call with him. Glancing back at the screen of your phone you rolled your eyes.
âof course im going to applyâ you replied as you further cozied under the blanket. Closing your eyes you continued âIâm not missing out on it againâ
Jerry let out an obnoxiously loud laugh at this making you crack one eye open to squint at him through the screen. "Well, that's what happens when you're filming in the fucking Amazon rainforest."
A snort escaped you.
He suddenly sat up, pointing a finger toward the camera as if he was making a serious argument. âNow youâre in the middle of fucking nowhere in Antarticaâ.
You closed your eyes starting to welcome that feeling of sleepiness cause you know he was going to start a rant about what content you do again.
It tends to happen when you have an overprotective cousin or brother as he insists you call him.
Your point was proven as he remained silent for a few seconds and then started to spew the same lines youâve heard over and over from him before. âSeriously,â he continued âDo you ever film anywhere normal?â.
You heard shuffling on his end.
âI mean âââ, i donât even know if youâre a youtuber or an explorer at this point on god.â He exclaims.
You mumbled a quiet âi am a YouTuberâŠwho exploresâ to which he ignored you completely.
âSometimes i swear you only became a youtuber because it gave you an excuse to go wherever the hell you wanted. Is this because you werenât allowed to go anywhere as a child? Talm bout some explorer shi.â
He was really on fire today cause he was not stopping.
You werenât really listening though, half of your consciousness was tipping towards dreamland.
âIs this some kind of unresolved trauma âââ?â. He paused dramatically before continuing. âBruh, therapy exists for this, you know."
His long rant was suddenly cut off when a high pitched girly voice screamed his name.
âOhh Jerryyyy! Can we smoke Jerry?â
Feeling too sleepy you didnât bother looking at who it was and just laughed lowly.
âDamn unc still got itâ you murmured sleepily and a faint laugh from the background on his end was heard.
Jerry spluttered in offense âthatâs not! Nevermind..â he said sighing in defeat. âGood luck in your application âââ hope to see you soonâ
You just hummed and whispered a goodbye letting him end the call.
âââ Ëđ Ì !!
It was a month and a half after you uploaded your application in tiktok for Streamer University. It was finally the day where kai announces those who got in.
You were still in the middle of nowhere when you were setting up your stream, like setting up your stream outside the cottage youâre staying at and facing a side where the background is completely white while thereâs an active blizzard happening.
Why? For the love of game of course. It was also kind of funny for the clips.
âLeaâ your camera woman slash tech support slash personal assistant slash best friend and etc. was sitting beside the set up and was fixing the camera then shot you a thumbs up as a signal to start the stream.
You plastered your âStarting Stream in 1:00â on the screen and played the background music for it.
You waited for the viewers to come in and read some of their comments.
Yoo a stream after a few months???
EEE
âL champ emote spamâ
Sheâs in the middle of a deserted place again i bet
LLLLLLL
After the timer went off, you wasted no time in shouting a loud greeting. âHello friends!! WE are at the middle of nowhere in Antarticaâ and laughing hysterically.
wthhh
Whoâs we?đ
TOLD YALL SHE SOMEWHERE DESERTED AGAIN
L
Damn she even in the middle of a blizzard too
Broâs side quests are immaculate
Youâve finally stopped laughing as they still continue to spam in the chat âWelcome back to the stream guysssâ.
After wiping the small tears that gathered at the corner of your eyes you started clicking. âWeâre going to see if we got in on streamer university for todayâs streamâ.
Finally able to click Kaiâs stream you were quick to share screen it to the chat. Thankfully you were right on time as he started revealing the school staff.
It was after 30 minutes of getting to know the professors and janitors, some you were familiar with. Before kai finally got to revealing the students, you sat up straightly as the nerves was slowly starting to creep in.
You glanced towards the moving chat murmuring a soft âI really hope i get in guysâ.
Broâs nervous
WE are getting in trustđđ
LMAOOO
âRandom chat emote spamâ
EEEE
After a few more minutes of revealing, it finally reached the half of the second set of students. The reactions of the streamers was too funny when their name is revealed. Some had their own background songs too.
Kai was then clicking something on his computer then his stream started to play a pop smoke song then it clicked.
âOh! Itâs silky!!â You say excitedly. After a few seconds of teasing kai then ripped the piece of paper revealing Silkyâs name.
When that happened you started to scream in excitement and clap for him.
She knows Silky?!???!!
Gangđâïžâïž
Bro knows ball ig..
Kai then showed Silkyâs stream. He was wearing these all black suit with a suitcase and started pushing everyone around and off of him. It was funny honestly you couldnât help but laugh at the scene kai was showing.
The next forty minutes felt agonizing. One by one, the remaining students were revealed. You celebrated every student who got revealed, those you know and didnât know.
You celebrated with them. You really did but with each name that wasn't yours, the knot in your stomach only tightened.
As the list grew shorter, so did your confidence. You could feel the exhaustion creeping in.
Eventually, only two covered names remained.
You could almost hear your heartbeat with how loud it was beating. You have your palms held together in front of you now with the anticipation.
You stared at the screen barely blinking, while Kai leaned toward his computer and was typing something with an unreadable expression.
Then without a word, music began to play.
Not just any song though, it was âAlways been a dreamerâ by Staffan Carlen.
Not to own the song or anything but thatâs like YOUR song. It was your starting streams background music as it was also the intro and outro of you youtube videos.
Glancing at the chat on the side you can see how theyâre also starting to freak out.
ONG
FIEHSIAKWSNWHQKQKQBQHQIWNW
YOU JNOW I fEEL JUDT A LITTLE BITTT
told you WE will get inđđ
W
Not wanting to celebrate too early as kai was still teasing on revealing the name, you sat up straighter in anticipation and when he ripped off the paper covering.
You felt all the nerves suddenly bleed put of your body because the plaque had showed your name.
Immediately stood up and started celebrating, Lea tackled you and both of you started to jump around while screaming and laughing.
You glanced back at your laptop and saw that kai had pulled up your stream. He was watching your stream with furrowed eyebrows in confusion.
Very perplexed, he asked his audience. âChat why the fuck is she streaming outside in the middle of the blizzardâ
The statement made you laugh hysterically and shout âWERE IN ANTARTICA!!â like it was just nothing. Kai only placed one of his palm over his eyes and laughed. Then moved on to the last streamer.
After Kai wrapped up the remaining announcements, you closed the shared screen of his stream and switched back to your own.
You stuck around for a little while longer, celebrating with your chat as the excitement slowly settled.
Messages of congratulations continued to flood in, and you made sure to thank everyone for their support before finally saying your goodbyes.
With one last wave, you ended the stream.
âââ Ëđ Ì !!
A week or two had passed after the announcement.
It was 3 days before you started your flight on going back to America. You and your camera woman had to get like 4 flights because this yearâs streamer university was at Arkansas in USA, and Antartica was so to there.
The journey had been exhausting. Multiple flights, endless hours in airports, and your ears constantly popping had made the trip anything but enjoyable.
You were glad you made sure to leave Antartica a day earlier because it was exactly the third day now from when you left Antartica when it was supposed to only be 2 days.
It was a good thing you called someone on your team who was at your penthouse in New York to drive your car in picking you and Lea up at the airport.
Unfortunately, the delay in your flights meant you had missed the opening ceremony. a bit of a bummer, considering you'd been looking forward to it.
It was almost half an hour when youâve finally reached the school. A crowd of fans had gathered outside the gates, their excited cheers echoing through the area.
After showing one of the staff members your invitation along with your ID, you and Lea were escorted inside the campus grounds.
Kai apparently begun speaking to everyone one by one, giving them their dorm keys and telling them they were allowed to stream.
You left Lea in what looked like a common lounge while another staff member guided you farther into the building.
"You're with the last five," they explained as you walked down the hallway.
Unfortunately there was not anyone you were familiar with. All of them were so sweet though and introduced themselves. As time goes by, one by one were called by kai. You being the last one, no surprise in that being late and all.
After being guided again by a staff to a room with these large wooden doors. You slowly opened it and peeked inside, Kai then started to cheer and shout. You were laughing while coming towards him.
âEYYY LOOK WHOS HEREEâ he said standing up and stretching his hand out for a handshake to which you did.
âHi kai!!!â you said and looked around at the multiple cameras and deciding to face the one at the side, waving a hand. âHi friends!!â
Kai just laughed and then sat down again. âNow here is your things and dorm keys yeahâ he said as he gathered things and handed them to you. Picking them up as you cheered, he clapped and continued âYou can now streamâ.
âYay! Thanks kai! See you aroundâ You said waving your free hand and turning around to leave the room.
âââ Ëđ Ì !!
When you met up with Lea again, the two of you started to set up the stream before leaving the building.
A short starting-soon countdown filled the screen as viewers slowly began trickling into the chat. After about a minute, you switched to the live feed and shouted a greeting.
âWE are at Streamer University!!!â You laughed as the chat started to speed up.
YOOO
EEEEEEEEEEEE
STREAMWR UNIVRSITY!!!!
WWWWWW
yes WE aređ„°đ„°
You started to walk around trying to find the exit. âLetâs go explore this campus peopleâ. You say as you let your camerawoman walk in front of you to angle the camera better.
It was a few minutes before you finally found the exit. There was a lot of streamers running around when you finally went outside the building.
Determined to find someone you know, you started to look around and thatâs when you finally saw your cousin. He was with a group of people and they were like in this small gossip circle.
Not being able to contain your excitement you suddenly ran up to him and screamed his real name. He didnât even had the chance to fully face you before you almost tackled him to the ground.
He was shocked for a second before finally screaming your name too and jumping up and down while holding onto your shoulders and shaking you.
Okay you regret tackling him now cause youâre pretty sure you got some brain damage from the way he was shaking you.
He stopped after a minute finally realizing that the shaking was too intense. âSorry, my bad gâ he replied laughing, not sorry at all.
âWhen did you get here?â He asked while still having a big grin at his face. You paused for a second before finally feeling better, You couldn't help but mirror his expression.
"Literally just landed not too long ago!" you replied enthusiastically.
Before he can say anything else, both of your bubbles were popped when there was a very loud cough that was heard on your guysâ side.
Looking at the source, you forgot that he was with some people in the first place. Every one of them was looking at you guys as well as their cameras.
You also noticed your own camera woman had finally catch up to you and was at your side panting slightly lol.
A person who was on a wheelchair spoke up first.
âSo silky who is this youâre with?â He asked wheeling? a bit forward to you guys. One of the guys shouted a loud yeah.
Jerry had let out a looooooud laugh before slinging an arm around your shoulders, pulling you in closer beside him. "Guys!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
âMeet my baby sister!". You blinked in surprise, You werenât aware there would be a reveal but oh well.
Playing along, you raised both hands and gave an enthusiastic wave. "Hello, friends!" you shouted just as loudly.
For a beat only silence was heard. The everything became loud.
âwhat..â
âNo fucking way!â
âTHATâS YOUR SISTER??â
People were talking over one another, some were shoving each other in disbelief while others stood there completely frozen, trying to process what they'd just heard.
Even some of the cameramanâs was crashing out.
the entire scene was chaotic.
The reaction was so over the top that you couldn't hold back your laughter. Beside you, Silky had doubled over laughing just as hard.
WHATTT
SISTERHRKFHEJSND???????
Uhm since when?đ
Bro what the hell is this crossover..
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You mean OUR baby sisterđâïž
It took a moment for everyone to calm down.
An asian guy was emoting then suddenly yelled. âNah how the hell are you guys related??!â. His expression was genuinely in disbelief.
Jerry called him the n word. âTf you mean by that. Is it because im black you think we aint relatedâ He said starting to crowd the guy with intimidation as a joke.
The dude just help up his hand and shouted at his camera that no he wast not racist.
Jerry then turned to look bacj at you who was just standing in front of them still smiling.
âââ he said âThis my group, you remember Core. The one i told you about right?â.
To which you nodded enthusiastically at âof course i remember!â
He then started to introduce you to them one by one. âThis crippled guy is Lacyâ He said pointing to the said guy. You sputtered in surprise with how he introduced Lacy.
The man in the wheelchair just laughed at your reaction. âhi nice to meet youâ he said reaching out for a handshake.
You returned the gesture. âHi im âââ nice to meet youâ you replied with a grin after recovering.
Jerry then pointed to the guy standing beside Lacy.
"This one's Marlon." Marlon, one tall of a man offered you a warm smile before extending his hand. You shook it with a smile of your own and said the same greeting you uttered to Lacy.
âThen this one is Jason and Ronâ Your cousin continued as he pointed towards Jason and Ron who was holding onto each other? Hugging?.
They waved at you and said hi.
You just smiled and waved at them since they donât look like theyâre going to let go of each other and just said the same introduction again.
You glance behind them and saw Ronâs? Camera man maybe.
He was stood just behind the two a small smile tugging at his lips as he quietly laughed to himself while panning the camera between Jason and Ron.
Then absentmindedly he looked up. His eyes met yours.
Oh
For a moment, neither of you looked away.
The conversations and laughter around you blurred into meaningless background noise.
People around the two of you were moving in a very slow pace and you can feel the wind blowing onto your cheeks gently. It was like everything was in a haze.
All you could focus on were his eyes. Your heartbeat skipped a beat. Then it started to beat rapidly.
People always talked about moments where time seemed to move in slow motion. You never really believed them.
Your life had always moved at an impossible pace.
There was always another flight to catch, another country to explore, another video to film. Everything was rushed. Everything was moving.
Until now. For the first time in your life, it felt as though the world had stopped and took a deep breath.
You weren't sure how long the two of you stayed like that. A second or maybe longer. It didn't matter.
Because the moment Jerry called your name, the spell shattered.
The noise of your surroundings suddenly came rushing back all at once. You blinked, finally tearing your gaze away.
âAnd this one is Adaptâ Jerry introduced next.
Quickly turning your attention back to them you shook Adaptâs hand as he outstretched them and introduced yourself for the last time.
Unable to help yourself, you stole a quick glance back at the guy you had been staring at earlier.
Big mistake. He was still looking at you.
The moment your eyes met again, you quickly looked away heat creeping up your cheeks before you could stop it.
Needing an escape from whatever was happening, you gently tugged on Silky's shirt to get his attention.
"I think I'm gonna go find my dorm first," you said a little too quickly.
looking up at him with a smile you hoped appeared normal, praying he doesnât notice anything weird.
You apparently werenât really good at acting cause he raises an eyebrow in slight worry. He just hummed and pulled you into a quick side hug.
"Come find me later, okay?" he said. "We still gotta catch up."
You nodded, returning the hug before he let go.
You didnât say anything and just shot him a thumbs up and a smile.
Quickly waving goodbye at the others you went on your way. Making an effort not to glance at the guy. You just turned and headed toward a building.
You were quiet for a few minutes aimlessly walking ahead, you could feel Leaâs confused gaze on you.
You were always the type to talk someoneâs ears off so it was weird for her seeing you quiet and dazed like this.
You then suddenly stopped walking, startling Lea.
You briefly glance down at the chat
Bros disassociating
Same bruh
Hohoho i saw thatđ
Me when school
You looked up and stared directly at the camera.
Staring quietly at them for a few seconds, you uttered words they wouldâve never expected to hear coming from you.
âFriends i think i have a crushâ you said exhaling lowly still in a bit of a daze.
Even Lea got startled and looked at you with wide eyes before quickly fixing the camera angle again.
HELLO?
AAAA IT REALLY IS LIKE COLLEGE
Woah there
I BET IT WAS ADAPT
LMAO
she just met core right?
WE have a crushđ
LOL
ik smthing u guys dontđ
The chat was rapidly moving but you just continued to walk ahead not saying anything further.
Finally seeing some people you knew you went up to talk to them.
You pushed that situation at the very back of your mind and just socialized with a lot of people.
âââ Ëđ Ì !!
Of course in the span of a few hours people made that clip more famous than finding out you were Silkyâs sister or something.
You donât really have a problem with it, the hard part was just avoiding peopleâs questions and redirecting the conversation.
Now you were just wandering around the campus, after running away from another conversation that was questioning you about your crush.
You never really went through with your excuse of finding your dorm room though. To be honest socializing and talking to people made you forget about it.
You and your camerawoman slowed down in your tracks when you saw someone ahead.
It was Lacy having a hard time going over those mini speed bumps on the cemented path. He was all by himself with his camera man nowhere in sight.
Immediately you went over. âHi lacy! Let me help youâ You said grabbing onto the handle and started to push the wheelchair.
He was startled at the sudden voice but grinned when he saw that it was you. âOh thank you so much!â
You shouted a âTada!â after successfully pushing him over the bump. He as well cheered.
Stepping beside him both of you was just going forward on a path.
âBecause of that good deed, you are now under my protection!â. He said while letting out this evil laugh of some sorts.
You chuckled âProtection for what?â. You asked as he was still doing that evil laugh.
He stopped in his tracks and folded his hands together like a villain. âWell ill have you know âââ that i am this schoolâs biggest bully. Yknow shoving people into lockers and giving them wedgiesâ he said cackling.
Lea angled the camera down showing his wheelchair.
LMAOOO
Leađđđ
SHADY CAMERA NO
Camera did him dirtyđ
He continued his speech with the same dramatic tone. "But because you've helped me" he declared, placing a hand over his chest. âI shall personally make sure no one messes with you in this campusâ.
You were practically gasping for air from laughing too hard as he ended his speech. Finally managing to compose yourself, you straightened up and played along.
"Why, thank you so much!" you said dramatically. Then exclaimed with such enthusiasm. "Now no one will steal my lunch money!â
The both of you were just staring in complete silence before bursting into laughter. After calming down you then continued down the concrete path, towards this building.
Your attention then drifted down to chat.
Hmmmm
Ohohohoho is this THE crush??
L
doesnt look like it to me chat
LACY??
Erm
BABE HE HAS A GIRL AT HOME
You froze mid step.
âFriendsâ Your eyes narrowed at the messages flooding the screen.
You looked directly into the camera, your expression suddenly serious. âStop thatâ.
Beside you Lacy turned to look at you, thoroughly confused by your sudden change in demeanor.
You continued âLacy is not the crushâ.
Lacy blinked for a second then broke out in a startled laughter, doubling over as he finally realized what happened.
The three of you then continued walking when he stopped laughing hysterically while you stand beside him with furrowed brows.
Some viewers were speculating that it was a member of core since they were the once you met before admitting you have a crush.
Not wanting to have these shippings continue if ever you meet some other members again, you decided to clarify something once and for all.
âMy crush isnât a streamerâ. You said out of nowhere while walking in silence.
That only made chat explode more.
Not a streamer????
L crush
IS IT A FUCKING CAMERA MAN
oooo cameraman
ohohhohogogohohohohog siebe?????
damn
i know who it isđđđ
The man in the wheelchair beside you gasps dramatically. âis it a cameraman?â Lacy shouts in disbelief as his wheelchair stopped moving forward, making you stop also.
Before you could even react he held onto your forearm, giving it a loght few shakes like an overly excited middle school girl.
âOh my tell me who!â He whined. âTell meeeeeeâ.
What is it with my cousin and his friends constantly shaking people. Choosing to preserve your dignity, you simply kept your lips sealed.
your brain trying to figure out an escape plan.
Thankfully, the universe seemed to take pity on you.
Your saving grace arrived in the form of Yonna Joy. Who came skipping toward the two of you, unknowingly interrupting Lacy's relentless interrogation.
âHey guys!â She says as she stops in front of you both.
Lacy let go of your forearm and rested his hands back on the armrests of his wheelchair.
"And what do you want now, Yonna?" he asked with exaggerated sass.
Yonna raised a brow at him. "Well, I'll have you know, La-cy," she said, crossing her arms and deliberately emphasizing every syllable of his name. "that I'm here to collect my roomie." she continues and pulls you by slotting her arms with yours.
Lacy then immediately dropped the act. "Ooo Wait, you guys are roommates?"
âYeah!" Yonna answered, breaking character just as quickly.
You blinked and turned to look at her. "We're roommates?" You asked in confusion.
She laughed. âYeah girlâ she exclaimed.âSaw your name on the other desk earlier. Chat said you havenât found your dorm yet so im here to collect youâ
Before you could even say a response. She suddenly took off, dragging you along with her.
A surprised laugh escaped your lips as you stumbled after her.
Behind you, you could hear Lacy yelling something in protest though his voice quickly faded into the distance.
Neither of you paid him much mind lol.
The two of you were too busy laughing as you raced through the corridors, eventually slowing to a stop in front of another building.
Slightly out of breath. Yonna pointed where the elevator was as you two and your camera mans made your guysâs way at. She pressed the button for the second floor, then chatted with you as the elevator slowly climbed.
Once the doors opened. She happily showed you around the hallway, pointing out a few rooms and common areas before finally stopping in front of one of the dorms.
âThis one is oursâ She exclaimed as she opens it.
The room was simple but cozy, with two neatly made beds separated on opposite side. You had your own desk set ups too.
Yonna then informed you that the Cameramanâs have their own dorm rooms and told you where it was.
After chatting with you for a bit, she then said sheâd leave you to let you fix your things and get rest while she explore more.
Nothing much really happened from noon to evening in Day 1 at Streamer University.You spent your remaining time of the day arranging your things and set up.
You bid goodbye to chat and ended your stream early to catch up some sleep.
After days of non stop flights and running on pure excitement for the whole day, it was no wonder you crashed the minute you ended stream.
âââ Ëđ Ì !!
Waking up a few hours later, a wave of disorientation hit you as you sat up. You just remained sat on the bed for a few minutes before the sleep fog cleared up.
Finally realizing you were at Streamer University you glanced at the other side of the room. Yonna was already tucked in and sleeping.
Quietly you got out of bed and grabbed your phone on the desktop. The blinding light of your lock screen greeted you as you fumbled to lower the brightness. After successfully doing so you were able to properly able to check the time.
It was one oâclock in the morning now. Grabbing the dorm keys you made your way to the door.
As quiet as possible, you opened the door and went outside then quietly closed it back after making sure you didnât wake up yonna and locked the door.
You didnât really have any much planned when you got out of the dorm room. Just want to walk around for a bit.The hallway wasnât really that quiet, you can hear some screaming and loud laughter from far down the hallway.
As you were about to round the corner, you collided into something solid.
A startled yelp escaped your lips as your feet lost their footing, instinctively you squeezed your eyes shut. Bracing for the painful impact with the floor.
But it never came.
Instead there was a firm arm wrapped securely around your waist while another caught your wrist before you could fall.
Snapping your eyes open. You were startled as the guy in front of you was standing much closer than expected.
He has his eyebrows lifted in surprise and his eyes shining in concern.
But it wasnât just any guy.
It was that cameraman from earlier this morning. The one you had that whole slow motion shazam with.
It was your crush.
Neither of you spoke for a few seconds, still looking into each otherâs eyes. The noisy hallway earlier seemed to fade into the background.
He blinked first. âAre you okay?â His voice was quiet and almost hesitant.
That shook you out of your daze and you fixed your footing as he slowly lets go of you.
âYeah! Im sorry i wasnât really looking where i was goingâ. You answered as you feel your stomach do somersaults.
He then crouched down to pick up your keys that youâve dropped. Standing up, he muttered a quiet âHereâ and passing it to you.
As you reached for them, your finger brushed against his for the briefest moment. A strange warmth surge through your fingertips, you couldâve sworn your fingers shook a bit too.
Shaking off your nervousness, you beamed up at him. Offering your free hand for a handshake.
âHi! My nameâs âââ, Nice to meet youâ you exclaimed.
His eyes widened for a second before shaking your hands. A slow grin made its way to his lips.
âMy name is Dylan but everyone kinda calls me Laiysâ He replied.
âOh! Your ronâs cameraman right?â You questioned.
His eyes glanced down at your hands as the both of you slowly let go of the handshake. He then quickly looked up and smile at you.
âYeah i amâ he said, the corner of his eyes wrinkling at the gesture.
âJerryâs sister right?â He retorted now grinning widely.
You let out a laugh. âYeah i amâ you said copying his answer.
It was quiet for a moment as both of you were just looking at each other with both wide smiles. Breaking the silence, you let out a small chuckle.
âWellâ you started. âI should probably let you get some rest. Youâve probably had a long dayâ
He gave a soft laugh and nodded. âYeah. I guess i shouldâ
âAnd i should get going tooâ you continued.
Another brief silence settled between you, neither of you seeming in much of a hurry to end the conversation.
âUhmâ you started feeling that bit of shyness creeping up again.
âIt was very nice meeting you Laiysâ you said smiling up at him.
His smile that never once dropped only seemed to brighten up. âYou tooâ Laiys replies.
You gave him a small wave. âGood night Laiysâ
He returned the gesture. âGoodnight, âââ
You sidestepped around him, making your way down the hallway in the direction he'd come from.
A few steps later, you glanced back. He was already walking away, his back facing you as he disappeared farther down the hallway.
Later when you return to your dorm room and lay at bed, you couldnât help but replay the interaction again and again while having your eyes closed.
The next thing you knew you were already falling asleep with a small smile on your face.
