Chapter One: Reveal

Like any other day for the past three years my parents woke me up at seven thirty. They were leaving for work.
I also planned on streaming. Not doing much but maybe a face reveal?
I needed advice.

-----------------------------------------JE❤----------------------------------------------
                                                     Hey should I do a face reveal today?
JE❤
I-WHAT? Holy-yeah if
you want to. Its up to you.
I'd love to see your face.
                                                                        Well no face reveal but...
                                                                                                             🏞

It wasn't special. Just a backwards mirror picture.
I looked like crap though. I was still in PJ's wearing a raggedy thread bare black sweater and shorts that barely covered my ass.
My dirty blonde curls hung down on my back. And in the background was my messy as fuck room.

Immediately after I had started streaming donos rushed in. I thanked them all for the birthday present. It wasn't unusually large sums of money. Just five to ten dollars more than usual. Everyone congratulated me on being sixteen. Chat exploded with the birthday song. And I just sat there laughing.
"Thanks you all it means alot."
At that moment the front door opened.
"NOELLE SWEET HEART."
"Shit Chat keep it Quiet I'll be back." I muted everything and ran downstairs.
"Yeah mom?"
"Just came to check in. I forgot my computer. I'll be back at six okay?"
I nodded. "love you mom"
As she walked out of the house I sprinted upstairs.
I turned my volume on and I heard JE humming.
"Wow JE I didn't realize you had such an amazing voice."
JE stopped and looked away from her camera. Blush crawling over her face.
Chat exploded.

Noelle! We enjoyed JE's singing!

NOELLE.

No.Bad Noelle.

Noelle Face reveal?

That last comment got chat riled up. Spamming Face Reveal!!

"Sorry guys. No face reveal this year. But..." I trailed off. I grabbed my rainbow rimmed purple reflective lenses glasses. Grabbed a rainbow mask and threw that on with the glasses. My face now fully hidden.
I grabbed my phone and logged onto discord. Making sure to screen share for twitch. I stood in front of my window. My blonde hair reflecting the light making it nearly impossible to see my head.  And turned on my camera.

Chat exploded.

Donos rolled in.

Subs went berserk.

"holy shit guys. Its not even a fucking face reveal. Guys. gUyS. GUYS. COME ON YOUR GONNA BREAK MY COMPUTER."
But I looked at chat. Only to see the same message played through in different words.
JE had fallen out of their seat. Popped their head out from over their desk and straight up said to chat.
"Damn she fine."
Making everyone die of laughter and of cuteness.
JE had brown hair. Always hanging down over her face in some way. Olive skin. And deep amber eyes.
After muting text to speech for Donos and subs. I turned some tunes on and played Minecraft. Building a willow tree in the village.
When Mask by Dream came on I had completely forgotten that I was streaming. I had stopped talking about thirty minutes ago. And chat just seemed to enjoy watching me build.
Quietly I started singing mask.
i wear a make with a smile for hours at a time. stare at the ceiling while i hold back what's on my mind.
A few lines into the song I got louder.
But the fact is, I can never get off of my mattress.
Halfway through I was just singing. Not caring how loud.
Always being judged by a bunch of strange faces.
A little later my favorite lines came on. And I screamed in tune.
I NEED HELP IM FAILING ALL MY CLASSES. THEY THINK THAT I NEED GLASSES. I JUST REALLY WISH THAT I COULD PASS THIS.
a tear rolled down my cheek.
THATS WHAT THE MASK IS. THATS WHAT THE POINT OF THE MASK IS.
I was full on crying now. But not caring. My cam was still on in discord which I had forgotten. So I got up and belted out the song.
SO YOU CAN SEE IM TRYING YOU WONT SEE MY CRYING I'LL JUST KEEP ON SMILIN IM GOOD. AND IT JUST KEEPS ON PILIN ITS SO TERRIFYIN BUT I KEEP ON SMILIN IM GOOD. YEAH IM GOOD. IVE BEEN CARIN  TO MUCH FOR SO LONG BEEN COMPARING MYSELF FOR SO LONG BEEN WEARIN A SMILE FOR SO LONG ITS REAL. SO LONG ITS REAL. SO LONG ITS REAL.
I felt like I was bawling my eyes out. And I was. Sobs were coming out of me. And I just shriveled to the ground as my mother burst through the door.
It was six o'clock.
And today god knows all hell would break loose.

Its quite a few months after I first posted this chapter and I just want everyone who reads this to know.
This was not my finest work. Not very realistic at all. And I actually look back on this chapter and think 'this is the cringiest thing I've ever written.' And I pray to god Dream never sees this.
(Its unlikely but with my luck I would not be surprised if Dream did find this. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.) Anyway just wanted you to know. I figured I just needed to get that out there because it been nagging at me.

I am successfully less stressed
