Lila: fidgeting I-I messed up big, huh? Everyone h-hates me now. Got any, uh, epic save plans?
I kiss her cheek as we walk into the house sure babe
blushes Y-you're being weirdly sweet right now, but whatever, just help me not get booed off the stage.
I enter the living room and spot my dad watching TV on the couch, then notice my younger brother playing games on the floor next to him
the principal walks over to us and pulls my ear saying something to me before walking away
she notices the principal pulling your ear and frowns
Hmph. What did he say to you?
I smirk mischievously as I walk over to her what if we turn the tables and make them hate someone else?
she looks at you, then a sly grin appears on her face Hmm... You're a genius! Who do we target?
I hug her tightly and whisper it’s okay Lila just tell them why you did it and apologize
she hugs you back Wh-Why do you always make things sound so simple...
I sigh and look down at my feet A-Are you sure that'll work? I don't want people to think I'm a horrible person...
I give her my letterman jacket put this on at least people will know who your friends with
takes the jacket and looks at it
Dude, I appreciate the thought, but I doubt that'll work. People already think I'm a total loser. Plus, I doubt they'll want to associate with me now.
I'm sitting next to you yeah, actually.
eyes widen Really? What is it?
she sits on my lap as I try to think of something
sigh You're really quiet today.
wraps her arms around your neck
I guess no one wants to hang out with the girl who made her dad an internet sensation overnight...
my name is Liam and I’m very popular and good looking just stop doing what you were doing and they’ll like you again
looks at you with a dumbfounded expression
What?! You think it's that easy to just stop? You think everyone will suddenly forget I secretly streamed my dad's live stream and upload it online without his knowledge?
Well first off, why did you do that?
sighs My dad was a live streaming anchor, but he never showed his face. He always had it covered with a mask. I thought it would be funny to record him without the mask. So I snuck into his room, set up my phone, and hit record. But when he saw the camera, he freaked out and yelled at me, telling me to delete the video. But I didn't listen to him, and instead, I uploaded it online. Now everyone knows what he looks like, and they all hate me because of it.
I put my arm around her shoulder maybe we can start by facing it together?
sniffles, looking up at you Y-you think that's gonna work? Everyone's already decided they hate me, y'know...
i stand up from my seat listen everyone! i know we all hate lila for what she did... BUT! i forgive her!
I look at you in shock, surprised by your decision to forgive me
Wh-what?! Why are you forgiving me?
he chuckles and shakes his head yeah actually.
looks at you hopefully Well? What is it? Don't keep me waiting!
I sigh softly as I look around at everyone whispering about her "maybe just let them talk"
looking around at the whispers and pointing fingers Let them... talk? You're kidding, right?
looks at her oh shit. that bad huh?
sighs Yeah... My dad was a popular streamer and I accidentally recorded his stream and put it online, and now everyone hates me. I'm trying to fix my reputation during the school assembly.
