55 Chapter 55

"It was fun playing with you, Kawhi, and Tiffy, but I promised LoafofBread I'd play Among Us with him now. Honestly, I'm tempted to keep playing though."

"Oh no, it's fine you should go. Thank you very much it was an honor meeting you."

"Yeah, it was an honor. Thank you so much. We'll keep watching your stream."

I smiled. I inwardly cringed a little bit at them being honored to meet me but my face kept its warm smile.

I'm just a normal teenager, you don't have to be honored to meet me.

"Thank you for your support you two. This community is the greatest in the world."

I glanced at the chat and saw them being emotional as well.

"Nice to meet you, Mike and Tianna. I'm Charlie."

They were two other big internet personalities. Mike made skits, and funny videos while Tianna was a vlogger.

We were eight people in total: Lily, Yvette, Bread, Zoom, Poodle, Mike, Tianna, and I.

The others were off playing with some other big streamers as well and Zoom dm'ed me that he envied them. When I asked him why he just told me to watch.

A few seconds in, I already saw the reason why Zoom didn't want to be in this lobby.

Something about how Mike spoke to the rest made me a little uncomfortable. He was practically flaunting his status and how popular he was which clearly made us awkward. Not even had the game started yet he was saying some very questionable things.

At first, I thought he was joking because he was a comedian but it seems he has a history of horrible behavior that Zoom informed me about.

Apparently, he had also made a horrible diss track in the past which included an offensive slur and was barely saved by his diehard fans and an apology video.

Though Mike was acting weird, Tianna was getting along fine with us while ignoring Mike.

Mike was trying to kiss Tianna's boot and was trying to show that both he and Tianna were superior to us since they were 'real' YouTubers unlike gaming streamers like us.

Of course, unlike him, we acted courteously and just smiled off his stupid comments.

[Tianna: "Charlie you made Canon in D right?"]

"Yeah, how was it?"

[Tianna / Mike: "It sounded great, I really loved it honestly. / Could be better."]

"I'm glad you liked it. Have you watched the official music video? And what do you mean Mike?"

I smiled looking at the screen.

[Mike: "Honestly I don't know. I just thought the way you played it was annoying and like... it felt like it had many mistakes."]

I kept my smile on but inwardly I was puzzled. Is this guy a secret master composer and arranger that has hidden from the world in a clown costume?

What's he saying?

"Oh, I see," I just replied while keeping up my smile.

[Mike: "I think the song is just overrated honestly."]

I pressed my teeth a little more tightly but still kept the smile.

[Modeling has gained 15.5 points.]

Thank you system.

I can't tell if this man is purposefully being disrespectful or he genuinely thinks that.

The atmosphere turned quiet and no one was talking anymore.

In our private group chat, everyone was typing 'WTF IS HE SAYING'

While the ones that were in the other lobby were asking what was happening.

[Tianna: "Well I thought it sounded great and I really liked it. I didn't know there was an official music video though can you link it?"]

[Mike: "I thought it was okay, and yeah I can send you the link."]

Oh, he was just trying to converse with her and insulted me while trying to get her attention.

Okay.

[Mike: "By the way, can we start guys? It's getting boring just talking to you."]

We're just barely getting to know each other man.

[Chat:

charlxiesimp: someone shut this man up

canoninthisD: bruh

Potatorater1: sweet potato: 7/10

sucmycanoninD: *reloads shotgun with religious intent*

DICtionary1000000: amen

redissus: amen]

[blacklily: "Uhm, okay."]

Everyone was freaked out by him.

Fortunately, this round I got impostor and I knew exactly what I had to do.

Everyone, and surprisingly, Mike muted themselves and we began moving to do our tasks.

I moved to the cameras and Mike for some reason followed me.

It's as if the heavens themselves decided to kill this man.

I entered the cameras and waited a while.

Then I went to the reactor room to complete my first Long Task.

Mike kept following me as I went around the left side of the map completing my tasks.

The lights went out quickly.

'A body has been found'

It was blacklily that died first.

My other impostor friend was LoafofBread so in other words, this would be a fun game.

[Poodlefluff: "Body in the top right of the map weapons."]

"Mike and I have been on the left side by reactor and camera this entire time."

[bzoomster: "I saw the cameras being lit up so they went to that side first definitely."]

[Yvettel: "By the way, Bread what were you doing?"]

[LoafofBread: "I'm trying to marinate Tianna."]

[Yvettel: "Oh, cool. Zoom we were together right?"]

[bzoomster: "Yep. Doing tasks. I went right first with Lily and she followed me but for some reason, she went up while I was doing a task so she must have been killed the moment she separated from me. Yvette you saw us."]

"Yvette, what tasks have you been doing?"

[Yvettel: "So I followed after Zoom and Lily and I noticed Lily wasn't doing tasks so I thought she would kill Zoom then she went up with me and so I went back down so that she wouldn't kill me. Then the lights went out and she died."]

[bzoomster: "Did you see anything in the cameras, Charlie?"]

"Nope. Only your positions."

We all voted to skip.

Surprisingly, this round Mike did not talk at all. I thought he'd want to be a detective and try to get everyone killed or something.

Maybe he muted his microphone or something.

'Emergency meeting'

Mike's character was pressing the emergency button.

[Mike: "Bro I was muted and you guys didn't tell me. I was with Charlie and I have a theory to who it should be."]

[Mike: "So the only person who should have killed was Yvettel since they were the only ones there."]

[Tianna: "Maybe. By the way Loaf, what do you mean by marinating me?"]

[LoafofBread: "Oh, it means when an impostor lets a crewmate survive so that the crewmate trusts and clears the impostor as a crewmate."]

[Tianna: "So then… it is you, Loaf?"]

[LoafofBread: "Yup, it could be me."]

[Poodlefluff: "Haha, yea of course of course. So Mike you think it's Yvette?"]

[Mike: "Yeah, she isn't even defending herself she's quiet."]

[Yvettel: "It's not me. Zoom can testify that I was there with him. I purposefully went to the side so that he could see me while he was doing his task."]

[Bzoomster: "True."]

[Mike: "So it's Yvette and Bzoomster. Easy."]

"But then why would they report the body if everyone knows the three of them are together?"

[Poodlefluff: "I reported it."]

Oh.

[Yvettel: "What about Tianna and Loaf? No one knows if both of them are impostors. Or what about Poodle? Maybe she killed Lily, waited a little, and then reported it. Poodle why were you even there?"]

[Poodlefluff: "I knew someone was about to get killed so I started looking around while spamming the report button. But you guys were together, right?"]

[Bzoomster: "I had a long task and Yvette was waiting for me. I think she didn't want to get too separated to not die or something."]

[Mike: "It's obvious it's Yvette and Bzoomster like just look at them. How would you even know that Bzoomster is not an impostor"]

[Yvettel: "Well, I don't but if he was and killed me then Lily would've come back down and reported it."]

[Mike: "She's dead dumbo. And you guys are trying to blame others. It's so obvious you guys are trying to distract us from the fact you three were together.."]

[Yvettel: "...I meant if- ugh just forget it. Dude, we were together but when the lights went out we weren't together anymore."]

Well, this is getting kind of messy. How did Loaf even get that kill? That was insane. Tianna isn't even suspecting of him or anything. He even straight-up admitted he's marinating her???

Also, why's Mike calling her a dumbo? They're beginning to get a little heated.

He's got okay reasoning and what he's saying makes sense, though it's the first time I've ever seen Yvette struggle explaining things. She's leaving out some hidden details as well that just come out conveniently.

Maybe it's just Mike that's making her like that.

The time ran out and everyone muted themselves again.

[Mike: "Bitch, idiot, uh duh duh we weren't together anymore duh uh uh I'm dumb uh duh."]

Except for Mike. He forgot to mute himself.

Mike's voice sounded out trying to mock Yvette's nice-sounding voice and making it seem like she was dumb.

I felt my blood boiling. What's this guy's problem?

It's been literally 4 minutes of gameplay and he's already ruined our days.

[Chat:

Amonguspost: dude what the hell how does he have 7m subscribers with that attitude

Jnasjdwnajnsdjnwjand11: fuck him man i hated him ever since he made that stupid disstrack

initialbang: daamnnn thats the first time ive seen charlie frown]

I didn't notice I was frowning until I glanced at the chat but I didn't care. What's with this guy?

That was just childish and petty for no reason at all. Fortunately, he was forgetful enough to not mute his mic otherwise we'd never known how rude he is since he isn't streaming either.

Everyone unmuted themselves.

"That's rude."

[Yvettel: "What the hell man?"]

[LoafofBread: "Dude…"]

[Poodlefluff: "...bruh…"]

[Bzoomster: "What's your problem?"]

It seems even Tianna got into it.

[Tianna: "Why are you calling her a bitch you moron?"]

Oh, even the dead.

[blacklily: "That's so incredibly rude."]

[Mike: "..." He was quiet at first, but it seems his pride became indignant at us, "It's true, she's an idiot bitch. What, you want a diss track written for you too?"]

"Mike, dude. Zip it before you embarrass yourself anymore."

Oh man, I just want to say fuck it and curse him out but I'm supposed to be better than this.

[Mike: "Shut up kiddo. You're like 16 years old it's past your bedtime."]

Hearing that, I waited one more second for my kill cooldown to be over and I spammed the kill button on him.

[Bzoomster: "Could you just stop talking?"]

[Tianna: "Dude, you're a shame to every single YouTuber. Shut the fuck up already man, since the beginning no one here wanted you. You're like 12 years old mentally and you're ugly as hell in the inside and outside."]

Everyone's fed up with him now.

Yvette wisely left the discord call and we followed after her.

We decided to pause our streams early.

"Hey Chat, sorry I'll see you guys later."

I waved at the camera and quickly ended it.

"Tianna, sorry it had to be like this. Maybe we'll hang out some other day."

[Tianna: "Nothing to be sorry about. We'll hang out later."]

I left without saying anything else.

My DMs were being spammed with hate comments because Mike tweeted out asking for his fans to support him, or in other words, flame us.

Both on Twitter and on Youtube we were being spammed and I even received some hate on my Instagram post.

[Dagodjohn1: stupid ass plays like shit! hate this man]

[daddypapakelly: bruh who is this kid plays like trash]

[funneycomedypostssss: kid u too young to talk to mikey like dat go drink ya milk]

The comments had few likes and it was the same people spamming the same hate comments and liking the other hate comments.

It's the first time I ever came across such a situation. Not even when my old friends confronted me was I so frustrated.

I can't fight back because my career is just starting and even if I was in the right, it would still be unprofessional and immature from me.

I should definitely reward myself for holding back against this clown.

[Hello!

It's been a while!

I wrote some chapters but I forgot to upload them to webnovel lol.

What are your thoughts?

I thought this chapter was a little frustrating to read, especially with the addition of Mike. It's frustrating when you can insult and fight someone back but are mature enough to understand that if you do, you would lose out more. Charlie has more to lose than Mike, rather, Mike has nothing else to lose.

The chapter before this one was also a little boring I feel. No worries though, I believe the next ones won't be that much.

Thank you very much for reading!]
