Nev Schulman from MTV's Catfish:the TV show took Carmen Newsome's world by storm when she caught a marathon on MTV one day. She watched the show before, but just as a way to fill time. The second time she watched it, she was going through a rough time. It intrigued her how people could create connections over several hundred miles through just talking. In a way, she understood perfectly because without the physical presence to make a connection all people had was their conversations. All Catfish episodes start out the same..the girl or guy in question talks about how they met their potential love and started off as friends. As the conversations got deeper and the connection developed, it turned from friendship to feelings of love. Sex eventually came into the picture as well which led to some dirty conversations. Those intense conversations fueled the feelings of lust which built up so much that one of the persons can't stand it anymore that they want to meet the person that is inciting these feelings.

The episodes where the person had indeed been catfished always gave Carmen mixed feelings. On one hand, she could understand why the person catfished someone. On the other hand, she could also side with the catfish-ee and wonder how someone could be so twisted to cultivate that deep of a connection with a false identity. To the catfishers, she wanted to help them improve their selves so they wouldn't have to impersonate other people. For the catfish-ees, she wanted to help them heal from the experience and not completely cross out making connections online. Carmen had always been a shy person and was able to be confident online where she made several friends. In real life, she had a small circle of friends due to her inability to get too deep with people. Romantically, she had a few relationships that she felt would lead to something long term, but didn't. She went through the phase of dating the ones without jobs or vehicles where she had to put in all the work. After being a meal ticket, she tried to date better. Cheating and a pregnancy scare put her off from dating for close to three years. Having a retail job propelled her out of her shell considerably. But, there were days where she still suffered from anxiety in certain situations.

The passion that kept her alive and pressing on was her career as a copy writer in advertising. She understood how to get certain target audiences to buy certain products. A copy writer puts together the slogans for products that become a major part of their brand. She attended the University of Alabama to receive her undergrad degree in Advertising. Currently, she commuted to Huntsville to intern for a firm to learn the ropes of copywriting. On the weekends, she worked at a pharmacy as a clerk to keep money in. Since she didn't make enough to move out yet, she lived with her parents in her rural hometown. After washing Catfish that one day, it sparked an interest not only in the subject matter, but an interest for the gorgeous host, Nev. She rented Catfish:the movie and was shocked by Nev's story. For one, she couldn't believe someone creative and in the movie business would even be in an online relationship. But, he was taken by Megan so the location didn't matter. Watching his smile whenever he talked to Megan/Angela on the phone for the first time sent her heart into a frenzy. The other moment that stuck with her was when he was laying in bed reading messages out loud between him and Angela. At first, it was casual conversation, but as it went on it grew heated. The things he talked about doing to her showed his passion and how intensely he felt for that "girl". When he smiled and then grew embarrassed about the dirty talk made Carmen's feelings run wild and take off.

Carmen wanted to be the one to make Nev smile so bright the way he did in the movie and even on the show. The first thing she did was follow him on Twitter and look up if he was single. She found out that he did have a serious relationship after the Megan/Angela fiasco but that it didn't last. The news of him being single excited her. In the back of her mind, she knew it was silly to have a crush on a celebrity that she would most likely not have a chance with. Watching the show and seeing Nev's pain and what he went through during the movie floored her. It also made her anxiety better watching the show and crushing on Nev. Wanting him made her want to come out of that social bubble she shrouded herself in. Especially since she watched the people of Catfish bettering themselves after their experiences. But, she figured Nev wouldn't consider being interested in a girl that he hadn't met in person because of what he'd been through. It also wouldn't be a bad thing if she could at least talk and be friends with him. The chances of him talking to her were slim as he probably received messages from many girls wanting to get at him. A gnawing sensation ate at her causing her to realize she needed to try to talk to him. If not only for her anxiety, but for the sake of she wanted to tell him she understood to the fullest how he felt and wanted to hug him.

As far as looks, Carmen stood at five foot nine inches with slight curves due to her half Latina ethnicity. Long light brown hair that weaved down into an ombre effect of blonde at the bottom hung past her C cup breasts. Toned legs and a little hips led to a decent butt on her frame. One of the most attractive parts about her were her naturally plump lips and green eyes. On Twitter, she went and changed her profile picture to one of her in a lower cut shirt with pretty make up and done up hair. Then she hash tagged a tweet about one of the new episodes talking about how deceitful people could be when dating online. Other people that watched the show favorited or re-tweeted her tweet, but no activity from Nev. She decided to wait until the new episode came on live and then try to come up with a tweet that would get her noticed. The only problem was it didn't come on for another four days.

A/N: Hi, I am new to Wattpad but not new to writing. This is also posted on Quotev on my other account as I couldn't gauge which had more readers for this type of fic. I absolutely adore Nev and have the biggest crush on him. So, Carmen's character is kind of similar to myself. I know there are a lot of Nev/OC stories where he helps her find her catfish boyfriend and then she falls for Nev instead. There's nothing wrong with that type of story, but I wanted to write something a little different. I hope you enjoyed and please leave feedback!
