No one's POV
Unfortunately, Natalie was so focused on her own problems that she didn't realise her idol had her own struggles too. Let's learn what are her idol's issues.
Crystal's POV
"You sure you understand everything taught in class?" Mr Xavier, my tuition teacher asked.
"Yes," I replied, before slinging my bag and walking out of the tuition centre.
Hi, I'm Crystal once again, and today I want to talk about the tenyaxtiara they don't see. Mainly because, people only talk about editors' editing identity, and I'm one of them.
Apart from studying and editing, I run a blog and write stories here on Wattpad. I have also volunteered to help out with my elective programme as a student helper, and am practicing to film a speech for a public speaking competition.
Not only that, I'm gunning for quite a competitive course. Pure Sciences, not electives sciences. And a second Maths. To achieve my goals, editing has to take a backseat, because appealing is very difficult. To add fuel to fire, I'm only an average student, trying to hold 3 subjects' worth of tuition together.
People who have seen me on Roblox ask how often I play, and I respond, "When I have the time." Judging by the description of my life, you think I have time to play Roblox? At most I spend 30 minutes in total playing Bang Dream. As for anime, I only watch it during the weekends or daily if it's the school holidays.
Back to the main story, here I am, going home from Maths tuition. I don't like my tuition, simply because it's exhausting, but I have to go. In eighth grade, every subject and test, so I can't skip tuition. And then, I got a notification on my phone:
(princess_chichi): tenyaxtiara, updates?
I freaked out internally. Oh no, I've been too focused on my competition and studies I forgot about the Nevada MEP part due the precious week!
I replied:
(tenyaxtiara): Hi, I'll get it done asap. Sorry, I've been prepping for smth irl...
The minute I got home, I found myself forcing my tired body to open Alight Motion and trying to do typo for my part. After an hour, I dozed off before I could even watch my part and then export it.
Another hour later, I suddenly woke up, realising my phone was turned off.
I checked the time.
23:12
Freaking out, I exported the part, converted to a mega file and sent it out to Chika, sending the text:
(tenyaxtiara): Here's my part. Stayed up to finish it
Claire's POV
Hi, I'm Claire. I'm leading Team DeliParti in Precure Wonders, and Crystal is in my team. We are both frequent MEP participants in Precure Wonders.
One day, just before I was going to work, I received a discord message. The message read:
05:12 02/05/23
(tenyaxtiara): Here's my part. Stayed up to finish it
...
What?
Crystal's staying up to meet deadlines? Let alone leave up to the "MEP-part-finisher-triple-threat" name??
I have to talk to her. She's harming her health, at least where editing is involved.
