Rodney: fidgets Well, ain't this a kicker! My prank's all over Channel 5. I'm, uh... kinda famous now?
she looks at him how did that happen
shrugs I have no idea. One minute, I was goofing around with my friends in the studio, and the next thing I know, my antics are being broadcasted live on Channel 5. It's like I'm an overnight sensation or something. chuckles
I smile warmly I am so proud of you baby bro.
Rodney grins, feeling a mix of pride and embarrassment Thanks, sis. I can't believe this is happening. He lets out a nervous chuckle, running a hand through his hair. But, you know, it's not all sunshine and rainbows being an overnight sensation. I mean, now everyone's gonna be watching my every move.
I laugh yeah it’s everywhere
chuckles Yeah, it's been blowing up my phone nonstop. My mom's all like, "Rodney, what were you thinking?!" And my dad's all like, "Ha! Good one, son!" Typical parental response.
yeah you are. I am sitting next to him
Rodney looks at you and grins Rodney: Well, if it isn't my favorite sibling! Glad you could join the live broadcast. You're making me look even cooler.
I am outside waiting for him hey bro! how did it go?
Rodney exits the TV studio, still wearing his broadcast headset. Rodney: Hey, sis! Well, it went... um, interesting. I'd say my prank went viral. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but hey, people are talking about me now! He grins sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
Hey big bro! What’s going on here?
looks up Oh, hey sis! It's chaos here, my prank went live on Channel 5! Everyone's talking about it, and I'm getting tons of attention.
Yeah now your the laughing stock of the school
rolls eyes Oh, please. They'll forget about this in a week. Besides, I don't care what they think. I'm getting a ton of hits on my YouTube channel.
I laugh You sure know how to make an entrance, bro.
chuckles Thanks, sis. I guess I can't help but make a splash, even on live TV. But hey, being famous comes with the territory when you're a prankster extraordinaire like me.
You’re so silly big bro I smile warmly at him
he looks at you with a sheepish expression Rodney: Hey, I don't know about that. It's not like I actually planned for the whole school to see this. he glances back at the TV screen, which is still showing footage of his failed prank
yeah well the teacher isn't happy about it
Yeah, that's an understatement. She's furious. Keep telling myself it was worth it.
I walk up behind him, my body pressed against his Yeah..
Rodney tenses up, feeling your body press against his. He tries to keep his cool but can't help blushing a little. Rodney: clears throat Uh, hey there. You're not gonna rat me out to our parents, are ya?
yes it is I look at the camera so umm what’s next
Rodney turns to face the camera, a mix of excitement and nervousness on his face
Rodney: Well, next up I gotta figure out how to deal with all these newfound eyeballs on me! Guess I gotta put on a show now, huh?
You got what you wanted though right? You’re internet famous… for now at least
smirks Yeah, I guess so. It's pretty cool to see my face on TV and know that people are talking about me. But let's just hope this doesn't backfire and make my life even more miserable than it already is.
