Maybe it's Maybelline. With just two quick jumps, I was already up on the tree branch. Perfect! Dinner tonight was fried eggs, fish, and greens. The stream outside was basically a mini supermarket. I built my stove from dry firewood, used flat rocks as my cutting board and pan, and started cooking like a full-on master chef. But right when I was about to enjoy my very fancy fine dining moment, I heard these weird little click-click sounds.
Oh, hi! I thought you were really interesting, so I came back. This could go super viral on TikTok!
What's TikTok? Can you eat it? Hi everyone, I'm Alison, and I lived with my mom Sophia, a very strong, very opinionated nature conservationist on the edge of a huge forest in Alaska. Basically, mom and I had a warm, happy life, just with absolutely no electricity and no internet. On weekends, we went into the forest to pick mushrooms or built simple bamboo pipes to bring water from the stream to our house. Studying under orders oil lamps and cooking with a wood stove were just normal to me. I'm going to town! Take the horse, it's faster. Every time I showed up in town, people whispered like I was breaking news, which was confusing because I always followed traffic laws, didn't I?
Hey, what's a teenage girl like you doing here? It's back to school day. Aren't you going to school?
Oh no!
What challenges did Alison face when she first entered a modern school?
This is my first day at a real school! Nobody told me!
All the information was updated on the website and sent by text to everyone's phone.
Like I had any of those strange things. Ever since I was little, mom had always repeated one thing: protecting the environment isn't a hobby, it's a survival responsibility. Modern things destroy nature like phones, computers, and Wi-Fi. We never use them. I had no idea those things were actually necessary for sending and receiving information. It took me a few minutes to calm down, and then I rode my horse to school as fast as I could. Thank goodness I need it. What's up with that girl? Is she some kind of nature freak?
She's Tarzan's daughter. Like, she hangs on vines to get around.
The moment I started high school, I became the weird creature on campus. People avoided me like I was cursed and whispered every time I walked by. The reasons?
Ellison, why did you stack a whole pile of firewood in my cooking classroom?
Aren't we baking? I just prepared it for everyone.
Alison, why did you break the computer?
I saw baby salamander run in from outside, so I saved him. Keep that thing away from us, you freak! Everyone screamed and ran around in total chaos. The whole situation was not exactly giving good vibes. But the bright side was: I saved the salamander. Then everything changed when I caught Christ secretly filming me while I was making dinner like usual. Christ was the super cute, super friendly guy in my class. That's me! I look so cute!
How did a secret TikTok video launch Alison’s unexpected internet fame?
Filter. It can do way more.
He tapped a few buttons and suddenly I had cat ears on my head. I was obsessed with this magical TikTok thing. I made pouted faces, puffed my cheeks, and copied every little pose Christ showed me. Christ said the way I lived completely outside social media was so unique. He asked if he could post the cooking video he had just filmed on TikTok so the whole world could see this special experience. And I said yes.

The next day, Christ came straight to me while everyone stared in shock.
