This was inspired by a writing prompt. I thought it turned out great so I’m posting it here.

Gage had absolutely hated the last school year that was forced to be spent on Zoom. All of the teachers tried to be funny or creative with their backgrounds during class but exactly zero of them were successful. He had spent most of the year watching Twitch streams of Fortnite and Counter Strike in another tab while barely pretending to care about school. He was able to scrape by and pass all of his classes, a few by the skin of his teeth.
Over the summer though, he discovered a new streamer. She was a very small streamer, usually only getting around five to ten viewers at a time. On a good day, she got 25 viewers and the classic party parrot would make an appearance. To Gage, it was truly refreshing to see a streamer who was only streaming for their love of playing games and wasn’t really trying to become a massive Twitch streamer. Especially from a girl streamer.
