Alpha Deception

Olivia's pov:

One day during a livestream where I was doing a mini QnA session, a fan asked me, "Which YouTuber would you like to meet?". I started thinking deeply and after a few seconds of brainstorming, I responded happily 'Sam'.

I continued by saying that I wanted to meet Sam as he was my biggest inspiration and it was actually because of him that I started YouTube. His videos not only entertained me but also helped me during the dark phases of my life. I would be super happy to meet him.

I responded to a few more questions before ending my livestream. It was such an amazing day of filming content for my channel. I shut the camera off as it was quite late and crashed on my bed.

One morning, a week after the live stream, I woke up, feeling drowsy and tired as I slept quite late the previous night. I rubbed my eyes and immediately went to check my phone for any important business emails or messages. I know its a bad habit to check your phone first thing in the morning, but give me a break! I'm trying to work on it as soon as possible. As I was scrolling through my Instagram dms, I noticed an account with a verified mark! I checked the name and I literally jumped from my bed! It was a dm from THE Sam Oscar! I was so happy like I couldn't even imagine this day would come, it felt like a dream come true!

Oh, my mind was filled with his charming, perfect face with his sparkly eyes, cute smile and sharp jawline. For all these years, I couldn't get his face out of my head! His body was a totally different topic that I could go on and on for.

I quickly scanned Sam's message and my heart melted at seeing such a sweet compilment from him! It was like an honour receving a compliment from him about my videos.

After my whole excitement with Sam messaging me, I went to my living room to eat my breakfast along with my family which included my mother, brother and my 2 sisters. Unfortunately, my father had passed away a few years ago due to cancer. It was a very painful phase in my life but I'm glad that I'm able to support my family by making YouTube videos in his absence. I loved my family a lot and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

After eating breakfast, I went back to my room to start planning the day, I went to my phone and there I saw another dm from Sam! I sat down on my revolving chair, adjusted my hair and started reading his very message. When I read that Sam invited me to accompany him to Vidcon, I remember them emailing me, asking if I wanted to be a featured creator there but I mulled over it for days but now I was able to make the decision.

Vidcon is basically like a social event where many Youtubers come together and interact with their supporters for a few days! This year, the event was based in Los Angeles!

"Mom! Im going to Vidcon!" I screamed throughout the house! It was my first time attending Vidcon! I couldn't believe this was happening! I felt like I was in a dream!

I heard Vidcon was an amazing place! I was so excited, I couldn't wait! I quickly went to my computer and proceeded to respond to the email.

I left my house early in the morning to reach the airport, I don't know what it is but there is something about flights that makes it so relaxing. During the car ride, I was frankly excited and nervous! It was my first time going to LA as well as travelling without my family! I never went on any flight without them. I guess I'm too attached to them. I rolled my window down, letting my hair loose in the cool morning breeze and took a breathe of the fresh air in the city.

I reached the airport an hour later. The traffic was horrible that day! And after all the security checks I boarded the plane. My flight was a long one of a whopping 21 hours from India to America. The flight was pretty ok but I did feel a bit lonely. I slept through the entire flight and only woke up when the meals were served. Airplane meals to be honest are pretty gross. I once felt super sick for days after eating a rancid tasting airplane briyani! I felt like suing the airlines for serving me that slop but that would never happen.

After I reached my destination, I was greeted by the Vidcon team who were to check me into my hotel. The road to the hotel was amazing, LA looked so beautiful but somehow didn't have that much greenery and was caked in buildings! The hotel itself looked like one of those old hotels but it was grand and majestic. I never thought that YouTube and Vidcon would be so generous considering most of the trip was for free.

All the YouTubers were given their own separate rooms in the hotel, I was given a room on the 6th floor. And we were all surprised with a box placed on the bed in our rooms filled with goodies from YouTube. At this point, I was super proud of how far I have come through in my life.

After unpacking and freshening up~

Still Olivia's pov:

I looked at myself in the mirror to see if my outfit looked presentable as I didn't want to make a bad first impression to the YouTubers! I fluffed up my dark brown hair and applied another layer of lipstick to ensure it didn't wear out.

I quickly made one Instagram story and headed out of my room. It was lunch time so I went down to the dining area and there I saw all the YouTubers hanging out. I sighed, feeling a bit nervous as I was shockingly an introvert, so meeting people was a huge task for me. I was walking towards the entrance of the dining area when suddenly I bumped into someone and fell down onto the carpeted floor. I groaned in pain.
