WHAT ABOUT US?

Jeyah's POV

I went inside my room after having our dinner. And as usual, my brother was asking me why I came home late. He told me not to spend the night on the road, since I am a girl, and it's not safe for me to be alone at night time. He's right anyway. It's for my own good that's why he is so protective of me.

I was sitting on the bed with my back leaning on the headboard while reviewing my lessons. And most of the time, when I'm studying, I used to turn off my phone to avoid any disturbance or interruption. After studying my lessons, I went to my music room to prepare myself for my live stream. Yes, I'm a streamer on three platforms. And if you want to ask what kind of streamer I am? Well, I am a singer. But no! I'm not a professional singer hahaha, my gosh! I just want to sing because this is my passion. I'm not streaming to earn money, but just for some sort of relaxation. Starting from 8:30 in the evening until 9:30, I stream on the first platform, then from 9:30 to 10:30, on the second platform, and 11:00-1:00 a.m. on the third. I streamed for two hours on the third platform because it's here where I have a lot of followers.

This is the reason why during these hours, I'm not active on any of my social media accounts in order for me to focus while having my live stream. Well, I don't show my face when going live. Actually, it's just an audio live. hahaha. Sounds weird but it's true. I did not even put a picture on my profile but anything like a precious stone, a flower, a nature, or an anime. Most of my followers were coming from other countries, and all of them asked me to show my face, but I just told them I don't want to. I thought, they would no longer come to my stream, but they still visit me and give me virtual gifts.

While I was in the midst of streaming, someone suddenly joined under the username "Dylan". I don't know if it's his real name or what because it's my first time seeing him. He interacted with me in the chat box and complimented my voice. It made me flattered. Anyway, it's a normal feeling when someone admires you or appreciate something in you right?

After some time, another came in. And I guessed, it's his friend because they were interacting with each other in the comment section. Until I asked them if they have song requests. The girl under the username " Claui", requested me some songs. Then after singing those songs, "Dylan" asked me if I could sing any of the songs of Michael Jackson. And the first thing that came to my mind, was, of course, the song "One Day in Your Life", because this is a piece of my soul. And honestly, whenever I sing this, I could not help myself but to get emotional. They were asking me why, I was being emotional while singing the song, but I told them, it was just nothing.

I did not expect that was the beginning of our friendship. We chatted online most of the time and he asked me about some of my personal information. I told Dylan about my age but I did not mention to him when is my birthday. I also told him that I am a student studying at a certain university. However, I did not ask anything about him, except that he would send me a clear picture of his face. Hahaha. I don't know why but I just wanted to know him. After a while, he privately sent me a picture. And I can say he is really handsome. But wait, I had this feeling that it's not his real face. I am not sure though. Whatever! Maybe he's thinking that it would be unfair if I get to know him when I'm not showing his face to him. Anyway, it's his choice so, I need to respect it. And for him not to know that I doubted his picture, I gave my compliments and told him that he is handsome.

Another day at school in the afternoon time.

I heard groups of girls, who were screaming and giggling as they made quick long steps going to the school gym. I furrowed my brows in confusion, on what's the event and why plenty of girls were heading to the gym. I was about to get inside the classroom for my last subject when I met Clarisse at the door.
