Walker had always heard Leah and Dior talking about her. It wasn’t a secret, they were obsessing over her. “She’s so funny, Walker. Like, have you seen her vlogs?” Dior would say. Or Leah would gush, “She’s like, the most charismatic person ever. I can’t even. Look at her latest video—hilarious.”

But Walker never really got it. He wasn’t into that whole influencer scene. But when Olivia posted a TikTok that caught his attention, he couldn’t help but pause. She was looking directly at the camera, lip-syncing “Baby, you’re never fully dressed without a smile,” and she flashed that smile—that real smile that made something in him pause. It was cute. Maybe too cute.

He shook his head. It’s just a smile, man. He didn’t give it much more thought.

But then came the Teen Choice Awards, and everything changed.

Olivia had been blowing up on social media recently. Her YouTube vlogs were everywhere—especially the ones with her siblings. Videos like “teaching my brother how to drive” had gone viral, racking up millions of views. Her TikTok had blown up even faster, Olivia had something that made her stand out—her boundless energy, her hilarious charm, and, of course, her genuine, relatable self that made everyone want to watch.

Now, here they were, at the Teen Choice Awards. Walker was there for his nomination, along with the rest of the cast. It was chaos—lights, cameras, interviews, and fans everywhere. He was trying to stay calm amidst the whirlwind, trying to avoid getting swept up in the madness. But then he saw her. Olivia.

She was surrounded by her camera crew, chatting animatedly, a familiar face in front of the camera. Everyone was buzzing about her vlogs now that she was blowing up. She was one of those influencers who had somehow made it to the top with her charm and humor.

“Hey! Can I interview you?” Olivia asked, suddenly standing right in front of him, her camera catching the surprise on his face.

He blinked, still taken off guard. “Uh, sure.”
