Quickly posting the photos of you and Quen, you felt a smile form on your face. Not only were handed such an opportunity but you also gained a friend.

A few minutes later, you saw Quen put your post on her story, captioning it "in 1 hour!! Be ready". Hearting the text, you closed Instagram and decided to practice your guitar.

You practicing a new cover, decode by Paramore, a song you've been practicing for the past few days. You were going to post another cover on your youtube because you haven't uploaded one in well over a couple months. You enjoyed singing and playing guitar, so this was pretty easy content to make.

Before you knew it, an hour passed and you got a quick message from Quen telling you it had been uploaded. Hearting the message and typing a quick reply, you put down your guitar and went to your computer to open up youtube.

You opened her new video, leaving a like and full screening the video, you started to watch it. It was exactly an hour long, wondering how much film the editors had to cut, you continued watching.

The video was good, you were around 30 minutes in and you were laughing already even though you were laughing at yourself and Quens actions. Even though you knew what was happening, the way it was edited and recorded made it effortlessly funny.

You were now reaching your favorite part when you called out Hamzah. Watching it fully through made you laugh, you were glad it was kept in because that had to be at least one of your top favorite moments in the whole video besides the friendly banter between you and Quen.

Finally finishing the video, you were reading a couple of the comments left by users.

username1: the duo i didnt know i needed, love them sm username2: i literally cant wait for the clips to be posted on tik tok LMAO username3: STOP why do i lowk see y/n and hamzah as a cute duo, need them to collab ASAP. username4: BROOO when she called out hamzah i SCREAMEDDD.

Laughing at the comments and reading a few more, you closed out of youtube. Sending Quen a text message on how much you enjoyed the whole video, you went to lie down on your bed. You genuinely did enjoy the video, it was perfectly made and you and Quens personalities paired together perfectly in your humble opinion.

It was around 1 pm now, and you had your schedule cleared for the whole day so you just decided to scroll on your phone until you think of something better to do. You were just scrolling on tik tok when you started to get clips of you and Quen's video. You were laughing at them, seeing people post their favorite parts of the video.

As you continued to scroll, you noticed the amount of clips of you calling out Hamzah, some even having 15k likes which was mindblowing since the video was still new. Other than those clips, you've seen people make edits of you and Quen which you reposted.

You loved seeing these types of videos, and you were glad the video was getting such positive feedback since that was a new experience for you.

7:26 PM

A few hours have passed, and you had taken a nap and just made yourself something to eat. Now you're sitting at your kitchen table in your small apartment, scrolling through your tik tok for anything to watch while eating.

You were getting random videos that helped fill the silence of your apartment. It helped with the sense of loneliness you get sometimes. Continuing to eat, you got an Instagram message.

You saw the notification of his follow and followed back. You didn't actually expect him to text you and reach out over the clip. You were smiling while replying to his texts, and you were sure that nothing would've come from what you said in Quen's video, so this was an interesting outcome.

Laughing at his texts, wondering how the collab would go, you felt all giddy inside oddly enough. It felt good to have these chances, the opportunity to meet new people and create new friends. Even though you didn't really know Martin and Hamzah, you knew their content based on the clips you've seen and the couple of videos you've watched. So you knew it wouldn't be awkward but a nice way to branch out of your comfort zone

It was nice texting hamzah, even though it wasn't talking about anything personal or crazy, texting him felt easy and natural. You wondered if it would feel the same talking to him. Hamzah seemed nice, like he was someone who lived up to their full extent; someone who isn't scared of challenges, someone who fights with everything they have to get what they want.

You knew he was passionate about his youtube and that was extremely rare to find. You've seen countless clips of him putting his all into his content. I mean, it was obvious with the amount of time hamzah and martin both put into slushynoobz. You kind of admired them in that.

So, you felt thrilled that you would be able to collaborate with them and share communities over some silly little comment you said on Quens channel. You were kind of excited to talk to Hamzah though, and of course Martin but it was different with Hamzah. You didn't know him, but it was just a silly little crush that probably meant nothing. It's like when you see someone at school and have a small little hallway crush that you knew theoretically wouldn't go anywhere,

Well of course you found him attractive- as well as his humor and personality so you were kind of exhilarated to talk to him. So, as of now, you will try to wait patiently until you film that roblox video with them in two days.

A/N: lmk if u wanna be on the tag list and I will also be taking request on what to write :p hope u guys liked this chapter, it was shorter so sorry abt that!! ill try to release the next chapter tmmr!

Yet, as a kid, you had always had a passion for making other's day with humor and jokes. It was a specialty of yours, somehow magically lifting people's spirits with your jokes. You also had such a passion for art and music. Something your family always loved you.

Yet, when you were 8 and your brother was 11, your family had to move to the United States. It was difficult for you, you left behind your whole life full of family and culture. Yet, you had no choice but to adapt. School was hard for you, the mispronunciation of your ethnic name, your accent when you spoke English, and trying to fit in with the new culture you were living in.

But something that helped you in your difficulties was emo music. It had hit you hard in elementary school. Bands like My Chemical Romance, Pierce the Veil (which you connected with heavily as the lead singer was Mexican), Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Taking Back Sunday, Black Veil Brides, Bring Me The Horizon, System of a Down, and many many more.

That's when you started to feel somewhat normal in your new life.

When you were 12, you started to adopt the emo look. A heavy side bang, skinny jeans, black heavy eyeliner, tight band tees, and studded belts. Looking back on it, you looked ridiculous but you were happy—so you can't hate it looking back on that time.

In high school, your look became more authentic. You wore what you liked and made it you. You finally became you. During your senior year, you made your first YouTube video. It was nothing much, just you playing Minecraft. But this was during the pandemic and lockdown—so it was a break from all the stress you were facing.

Your videos didnt blow up exactly, but those few views made you happy. So you continued to upload and you gathered a small community that meant a lot for you. You were posting from a decent-quality gaming laptop that you saved up for during your sophomore year with money from family and work. So the quality wasn't the best but you and your audience liked it.

You mainly posted gameplay, like Minecraft, Roblox, sims 4, or random indie games. Here and there you would post guitar covers of your favorite songs, sometimes you would sing in them as well.

Slowly but surely, you started to gain your audience and by the time you were 20 during 2023, you hit 400k followers on youtube. That was a huge milestone for you. With the money you've gained from youtube, you've used it to help your family when needed and finally buy yourself a long-needed functional and high-quality PC.

Yet your year was 2024. That's when you started to blow up on social media. Your clips were on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. That's when you hit 600k on YouTube. You were ecstatic.

From then on, your followers have been on a steady increase on Instagram and YouTube. Finally hitting 476k on Instagram and 693k on youtube.

And you were happy, you built this platform all by yourself (with the support of friends and family of course). During your years of making content, you had never collaborated with another influencer. That was until Quenlin Blackwell invited you to her series called 'Feeding Starving Influencers'.
