Chapter 1: Wrong Uber?

Chapter Text

One very busy day, an average girl by the name of Tiffany—5'4, black haired, and a tsundere—was trying to make extra money; she did Uber and it was her busiest day as of yet. There was a fair going on, so Tiffany tried her best to do as many trips as she could before taking a small break to eat breakfast. While eating she had gotten a notification saying she has a new Uber drive soon. Tiffany had not known it yet but, this one trip would change her life forever.

Kate—an obsessed fangirl, and a person who denies her gingerness—was running late; she had promised her two friends, Bella and Emily, to go to the fair. While heading to the Uber she called them so they could tell their Uber driver to wait a few minutes for her, and that she would pay the extra money.

So Tiffany waited, she would be given tons of money for waiting around—who was she to deny the free money? Alas, she looked to her right and saw a masterpeice heading towards her car and slipping into the seat next to her, not knowing she strutted into Tiffany's heart and mind.

Absent-mindedly, while trying to ignore her forming crush, Tiffany greeted Kate. They had enjoyable chatter over the 20 minute drive to the fair. The small talk taught them more about the other, Tiffany handn't realized that Kate had fallen even harder. Though, the one thing Tiffany was sure about, was that she liked—no loved—Kate and wanted to get closer. But Tiffany would wait for another chance, not wanting to seem like a hooker to the souless dwarf that was happend to be a ginger.

As Kate stepped out of the vehicle, they caught each others eyes, both unbelievably in love and starstruck by the other. Neither of the two wanted to leave but both terrified to scare the other off. Feeling hurt Kate broke the gaze, knowing she had to leave she turned her back before she said something stupid. She couldn't have said the words "I love you" to the driver she just met, could she?

For the next month, Kate got a new addiction—it usually swapped between obsessing over kpop or brainrot, but this time it was doomscrolling...on Tinder. Anyway why Tinder? Easy - to find out what Tiffany's account may be and then use it to stalk her on instagram; a simple yet forgotten way to see if someone is even worth dating, but not morally correct.

Finally after having scrolled for hours—she yelled: "Ohh! Tiffany!!!" as she screenshotted the account before sending it to her friends asking for help or any aid the single people could give out.

After having decided to text Tiffany, Kate was anxious—what if it was one sided, was this crush ever worth it?
