the set was cozy, lit with soft yellow and orange panels that made everything feel like a warm summer afternoon. cameras rolled as the smosh crew bustled around, checking microphones and adjusting lights. you sat comfortably in the middle seat, grinning nervously but excitedly. to your right was courtney, as chaotic and competitive as ever. to your left was chanse, cracking his knuckles with mock seriousness and next to him was angela, cool as a cucumber, spinning a marker in her fingers

this was your idea, a "who knows me best?" challenge video and you were the star. the rules were simple. you asked a question about yourself, they all wrote down their answers, and you picked the best one

"alright. next question" you said, lifting your eyebrows for drama "in one word.. how would you describe me?"

chanse raised an eyebrow "one word? thats dangerous"

courtney leaned forward with a fake conspiratorial whisper "you want the friendly version or.."

laughter filled the room and you shook your head, holding back a grin "be honest but like.. not mean honest"

everyone scribbled quickly except angela who paused, tilted her head thoughtfully, and then finally wrote something with a tiny smirk

"alright" you said, bouncing slightly in your seat "lets see what you got"

courtney held hers up first and in giant letters it read "chaotic"

"hey!" you laughed "thats just a nice way of calling me a idiot"

"its not an insult" courtney protested then added under her breath "mostly"

chanse went next "spicy"

you raised an eyebrow "explain?"

he shrugged "youve got a kick. youre unpredictable but in a good way. like.. jalapeno energy"

you burst into giggles "okay okay ill take it"

then angela flipped her board around "gay."

for one second it was just silence then everyone broke

you howled with laughter, nearly falling out of your chair, courtney choked, chanse dropped his marker, and off camera the crew was wheezing

angela just smiled calmly, holding up the board like it was a perfectly logical answer "what? its accurate. its one word. you said honest"

you wiped a tear from your eye "i- shes not wrong"

courtney leaned over, still giggling "thats it. give her the point. i cant even compete"

you looked over at angela, heart warm and cheeks flushed with laughter "honestly? that might be the best answer of the whole game"
