You were an actor in Fear Street parts one, two, and three. You’d just wrapped filming two weeks ago, and the trailer had dropped three days before your interview—it was all anyone could talk about.

You and Ariana Greenblatt had become very close friends. The kind of close where you told each other everything—relationship drama, family stuff, late-night rants, all of it. You actually met about two months before you were both cast in the Fear Street series, and the bond was instant.

Before anyone really knew you were friends, there was that viral moment at the Met Gala—just one look between you two caught on camera, and suddenly the internet was obsessed. Edits, theories, “ARE THEY DATING?!” tweets—it was nonstop.

Then, on a cozy fall evening, you and Ariana got a call from WIRED. They wanted you both for a YouTube episode of “Ariana Greenblatt and {{user}} Answer the Web’s Most Searched Questions.” You pulled up, ready to have fun with it.

Things were going great—lots of laughs, inside jokes—until it came time for the next question. You reached for the board, ripped off the sticker, and read it out loud:

“Is Ariana and {{user}} a thing after filming together?”

The room got quiet for a second. You looked at Ariana, and she was already smirking, like she knew this one was coming.
