Level 13

Pavel is worried about the Awesome Threesome falling apart. The first problem is Chuck, who spends all his time with Daphne or texting her. Chuck’s behavior also mimics Dapne's, as he always complains about Cam and Pavel exploiting Elvis. The friendship has become so strained that Pavel no longer argues with Chuck, finding it pointless.

However, Pavel thinks Cam might be an even bigger problem. Cam's stream is ruining the Awesome Threesome's identity as gamers. They do not play together anymore. Instead, Pavel and Chuck support Cam's streaming, which is not fun for them.

Even worse, Cam is a mess—exhausted, stressed, and red-eyed after every stream. Elvis is hard to control whenever they turn off the game. When Pavel mentions this, Cam tells him to look at the numbers. The stream now has over 15,000 followers and over 1,000 subscribers who pay $10 monthly to watch Cam game.

Pavel thinks the real problem is that Cam used to be a slacker, but now he is working nonstop to keep up his stream. Between streaming, setting up, taking down, and transporting the beaver, Cam has a full-time job and school. Pavel wonders what will happen to the Awesome Threesome without its leader.

Cam's stream reaches 30,000 followers and has several thousand subscribers. Although minors are not supposed to monetize their accounts without adult approval, Cam got Mr. Fanshaw to sign off on it, who believed the form was for online donations for P.A.G.

Cam is nervous because most of his followers only want to see him reach Level 13, and Cam does not believe he can make it. Even Elvis is getting frustrated, jumping on the TV and staring at it. The struggle to reach Level 13 consumes Cam, making sleeping difficult. He feels sick with constant headaches and body aches, which makes everything more challenging. Despite this, he must keep his stream upbeat and lively. His followers keep pushing him to reach Level 13, causing Cam even more stress.

Cam starts enjoying school because no one expects anything from him there, and he can even catch up on some sleep. He worries because so many people are helping him with assignments that they often overlap, but he decides not to say anything in case they get angry.

Mr. Fanshaw wakes Cam up after one of his classes. He is concerned about Cam's poor physical state but congratulates him on his improved grades. Mr. Fanshaw reminds Cam about the charity car wash after school, which Cam tries and fails to avoid.

Daphne catches Cam on his way out and has him run a stand. The paggers keep coming over to check on Cam and thank him for helping. Cam is exhausted when he sees a tall, thin man in his 30s staring at him. It jolts him out of his sleepiness, but no one sees the man when Cam asks his friends.

Melody goes to her friend Katrina's house. Katrina shows Melody her new favorite stream, which turns out to be Cam's. Melody is surprised and irritated that Katrina does not recognize Cam and that Cam now has over 43,000 followers. Furious that Cam's luck prevails again, even though she will get 20% of his profits, Melody is too angry to work on her project with Katrina and leaves early.

On her way home, she sees Cam biking Elvis back to his habitat. Melody yells Cam's gamer name, startling her brother and causing steer his bike into a flower bed. Cam tells her not to use his gamer tag, and she replies that he should not stream in front of over 43,000 people if he wants to keep it a secret. Cam's confusion makes Melody realize she is being unreasonable. She calms down. Melody tells Cam that Katrina is a fan and that other classmates probably watch his streams.

Melody looks at Cam and notices how sick he looks—pale, skinny, and unhappy. Cam assures her she will still get her 20%, but Melody no longer cares about the money. She is more worried about Cam’s mental and physical health.

Elvis still has not regained his winter weight, causing Daphne much distress. Between worrying about Elvis and running the P.A.G., Daphne has little energy left for her relationship with Chuck. To make things worse, Chuck is not getting along with Pavel, and Cam is too focused on his stream. The stream has become a full-fledged business, with 200,000 viewers and 20,000 paying subscribers.

One day, Chuck walks through the school's Hall of Heroes, where students post pictures of people they admire. He sees a picture of GameFox229 printed out and pasted on the wall. Chuck panics, realizing that Daphne will recognize Elvis immediately. He climbs on a chair and rips down the picture, tearing it into as many pieces as possible. Mr. Fanshaw interrupts and asks if Chuck tore the picture off the wall. Despite Mr. Fanshaw's questions, Chuck insists he does not know anything. He gets a week of detention and must replace the picture.

Chuck cannot tell Daphne the real reason for his detention, so he tells her he got into a fight. She is horrified and lectures him about his behavior.

After detention, Chuck helps Cam with the stream. Elvis knocks the controller out of Cam's hands when he uses the wrong setting. They take Elvis back to his habitat, but Daphne is there. Cam and Chuck run, but Daphne finds Chuck. She believes Chuck is there to check on Elvis. When Chuck returns to the bikes, Cam stares in shock, saying he saw the tall, thin man again.

After running from Daphne, Cam sees a black SUV. The driver slows down when he spots Cam and creeps along the street. Later that night, Cam swears he sees the same SUV parked across the street from his house. He spends most of the evening in the attic, watching the SUV through binoculars. When his dad asks what he is doing, Cam says he is working on a school project. His dad congratulates him on his excellent grades but expresses concern about Cam's health. Everyone has noticed that Cam has lost weight and looks unwell. His dad realizes Cam has a fever. Although Cam knows he is sick, he does not want his streaming interrupted. He says he is only overheated from running and asks his dad not to mention the fever to his mom.

That night, Cam has a nightmare where the tall, thin man tells him that reaching 50,000 subscribers will cost him his soul. Cam struggles to fall back asleep. The next day, he barely finishes school, and even Pavel tells him he looks terrible. Cam shares his dream with Pavel, who takes it more seriously than Cam expected, worrying him even more.

Daphne feels disheartened by Elvis's weight loss and Mr. Fanshaw's rejection of her fundraising ideas. Mr. Fanshaw tells her that while the P.A.G. is excellent, it cannot do everything. Daphne bursts into tears. She argues that Cam would find a way to raise the money, but Mr. Fanshaw disagrees. Daphne feels like she is letting both the P.A.G. and Cam down.

Determined to help, Daphne makes posters asking for fundraising ideas and finds Xavier silk-screening a GameFox229 shirt. He tries to explain the stream, but Daphne is not interested in gaming. Several students offer Xavier increasing amounts of money for the shirt at lunch, but he refuses to sell it. Later, Daphne convinces Xavier to make more shirts and sell them for a P.A.G. fundraiser. Despite Chuck's objections, Daphne proceeds with the plan.

The shirts become an instant hit. By the end of the week, they sell nearly 1,000 and raise over $20,000 for the library. Feeling sorry for Cam, Daphne arranges a ceremony to gift him a GameFox229 shirt, but Chuck and Cam's lackluster reactions frustrate her.
