Chapter 1 ► That New Girl
(YT/N), a Youtuber with almost one million subscribers, referred to as (YT/N) or (N/N). But outside of the world of the internet, she's known as (Y/N) (L/N).
She was so lucky to know the famous H2O Delirious who gave her dream job a starting boost! Though the years they've lost contact has certainly changed her, they're still best friends nonetheless.
4 years ago
After a super long day of college, (Y/N) was extra happy to come home to her bed today. She turned on her crappy laptop that could barely even run Gmod. She was looking forward all day to play games, but that day was the last time she got to play on PC as it received the blue screen of death. 'PS4 it is then..' she thought to herself turning it on.
(Y/N) turned on the console and entered a random lobby in GTA. As usual, her mic was muted, but she could still hear the annoying prepubescent boys and deep voiced creeps begging her to talk. Just like any other game lobby with a girl, they wanted to talk to her, her number, nudes, all that personal shite. After finally muting all the ones who were trying, she started playing with a random group of people who also didn't have their mics on. Looked like they were in a party.
When about an hour passed, the silent players quit. That was until she received a party invite.
You received an invitation.
Grand Theft Auto V
From: H2O Delirious
One of the same players invited her to another lobby. Upon entering it, she noticed it was the same the group of guys, this time with no randoms. "(YT/N)!" a guy with a slight southern accent said. "You got a mic?" He asked. That's when (Y/N) finally unmuted herself.
"Yea." She said trying not to choke up. It was a bit uncomfortable being just the only girl in a party. Not like it's the first time, but it's usually a party of four, not nine other random guys.
"Nice! Now get out of your apartment. We're going on an adventure!" The giddy stranger said while trying to buzz in. "Oh by the way, this is Vanoss, Mini, Wildcat-"
"She can read dumbass." The one named Wildcat interrupted. "By the way, don't call me Wildcat. Name's Tyler."
She chuckled a bit at his aggressiveness. "Ok Wildcat." she replied causing a burst of laughter. Her character ended up dying when she drove her car out the garage by a C4 thrown by the pissed off pig.
'Finally, a decent group of guys.' She thought to herself. "So what's your name? Or do you prefer your gamertag?" The owl named Vanoss spoke this time.
"You can call me (N/N). Or (YT/N). I really don't care." She responded. This is what her new friends called her since then.
When the guys were starting to get off, it was Delirious and (Y/N) who were last in the party. He noticed something the guys didn't but never spoke up. So he asked her "Hey (N/N) how'd you get that name?"
"It's not really my actual name." (Y/N) started. "When I was a kid, my best friend and I gave each other nicknames. It's funny because you're gamertag reminds me of the one I gave him." She chuckled a bit.
Delirious was shook as to who he thinks he's run into, his childhood best friend. "What was their nickname?" He said trying to play cool.
"H2O Delicious." (Y/N) replied laughing. "It was stupid. He showed me Youtube videos of the water clan in COD and we'd always watch them. That's the only reason why I gave it to him." She continued trying to stop her laughter. "The delicious part came from him always eating my damn sour patch kids!" And like that she continued laughing at the memory even harder. Delirious was laughing an insane clown laugh that (Y/N) thought was so cool. It made them laugh harder. Delirious felt so happy that he could finally confirm he found his long lost friend.
"Hey it's not my fault you never wanted to share anything!" Delirious said suddenly stopping the laughter. (Y/N) became confused at this point.
"What do you mean..?" (Y/N) shyly asked.
"It's me, Jon. Don't you remember (Y/N)?" Delirious replied proudly. Even though he couldn't see it, he knew his best friend well enough to know that she was smiling, cupping her face from that great surprise. Because puberty is thing, (Y/N) couldn't even tell that was him. It was then that they were determined to keep in touch with each other this time.
From then on, Delirious, or Jonathan, let (Y/N) play with his friends whenever she could, still leaving out personal information like her real name. Sometimes she played with them even when Jon wasn't on. That's how close they've all become. Jon was so proud of his group of friends, finding (Y/N) just made it even better. The guys couldn't thank him enough.
Present day
It's moving day! (Y/N) finally got an apartment in L.A. like she always dreamed of. Coincidentally, it was the famous apartment in GTA on Rockford Hills that it was based off on. Inside was just as luxurious as the one in the game. However, due to getting ready for the move, she hasn't had time to play or record anything. Vlogging was not an option, unless she wanted to do a face reveal. The guys, even Jon, didn't even know she was moving at all, all she said was that she was taking a break.
(Y/N) and the moving labor service man were the only ones moving the tons of stuff into her beautiful apartment. For someone living on their own, she sure had tons of stuff to begin with. He eventually was no help, he started going on his phone after just three boxes. All (Y/N) did was roll her eyes at the lazy worker they assigned her, so she took a breather herself after a few more boxes.
The two stood in the hallway quietly resting to not disturb any of her new neighbors. Until one neighbor came out and saw the exhausted (H/L) girl. "Oh hey you must be our new neighbor!" The man who had a weird accent greeted, startling (Y/N) a bit. She fixed her messy hair and wiped her sweat from the hard labor she had experience. But all she did was sweat even more nervously at the sight him. "I'm Craig!"
(Y/N) was afraid to speak from Craig finding out who she was by her voice, so she made it a tiny bit higher than her normal voice. "I-I'm (Y/N)!" She stuttered and greeted back.
"That's a pretty name!" Craig said and suddenly felt like he sounded like a creep. "I-I mean just saying. Y-You know, better name than boring old 'Craig.'" Craig's pale skin began to flush a pink hue. (Y/N) couldn't help but giggle until she covered her mouth, trying not to reveal her unique laugh. Craig saw the lazy working man over (Y/N)'s shoulder and huffed. "Do you need some help?" Craig asked and (Y/N) nodded in reply.
This is going to be tough.
After the two finished moving everything into (Y/N)'s apartment, no thanks to that lazy worker, (Y/N) just collapsed onto her couch in exhaustion. Craig giggled at the sight of her and said "Do you need help unboxing?"
"NO!" (Y/N) shouted louder than she thought she did, making Craig jump a bit. "I-I mean, I can do that part, no worries!" She said with her fake voice again.
"Nah it's no trouble at all! C'mon I'll get ya started!" Craig said looking around for a scissor or knife to open up the box. (Y/N) saw the box she labeled in front of Craig which was her PC and gaming setup, she definitely did not want him to open up that up.
She ran up to the box covering the top like it was already opened. "I'll get this one!" (Y/N) said in one breath. "Umm, you can get the box over there." She pointed at the one that was labeled 'clothes.' All Craig did was give weird look at her. He just shrugged off her odd reaction and did as she said.
Soon, her apartment was filled with her belongings. (Y/N) did her best to keep Craig away from anything that would reveal her other identity he knows. With that, she excused herself saying that she really wanted to go to bed so Craig could leave. Though Craig wanted to stay a bit longer to get to know his 'new' neighbor, he could see that she actually was tired. However, before leaving Craig asked for (Y/N)'s number. But (Y/N) couldn't do that, her Skype that the guys had was linked to her number. She felt bad for not giving it to Craig as she saw the pink tone flush over his face again. So she offered her kik she barely used, it was the only platform that didn't have her number linked to it.
When Craig finally left, (Y/N) collapsed back onto her couch. Just as she thought she finally could rest, her phone buzzed making her groan in annoyance. She reached out to the coffee table and immediately saw a kik message from Craig.
"Hey! If you're not busy tomorrow, wanna hang out with me and my friend Evan?"
(Y/N)'s definitely going to have a harder time keeping (YT/N) a secret now.
