Chapter 105: Fame
Chapter 103
I was walking down the school hallway with Carly, Sam, and Freddie. As we moved through the crowd, several students greeted us with waves and smiles. I could see some people pointing in our direction, whispering excitedly to each other. I just kept walking normally, sharing a few nods and smiles back, while Carly laughed softly at the attention we were getting. Sam elbowed Freddie playfully, and he just shrugged, trying to look cool despite the obvious stares.
The first two music clips from Marshmello had just been released, airing on MTV. The first one was Happier, and just like in the original, Carly was the star of the video.
Carly got emotional after watching the clip. She even bought a golden retriever for herself (unfortunately, the one she filmed with wasn't for sale).
Freddie also got famous because I asked to put, in huge letters at the beginning of the clip, that he was the one who did the filming (Happier).
Then the other three arrived at our meeting spot—Laura, Regina, and Cher. Of the three, Regina was the one who was grinning the most.
No wonder—she was the star of the second clip, Friendzone. Sia was singing as if she were an observer, while Regina played the main role of the girl rejecting advances and being the centerpiece of the story.
Cher was happy too, knowing she would be the next one to be the center in the upcoming clip.
"But Jake is still the most popular," Cher said with a playful smile.
Yeah, I had just released two more songs: Blame (Calvin Harris) and Wake Me Up (Avicii). And I decided to finally sing one myself—the second one. After all, Wake Me Up was my favorite song from Avicii.
Unfortunately, I didn't get John Newman for the first one. He might be too young (like, born around the same time as in my past world). I didn't find any singer with his name. Well, I can't get everything.
So everyone congrats me because I sang the song. Since there are plenty of other singers who performed with Marshmello, nobody thought too much about it. Still, by singing a Marshmello song myself, I ended up becoming even more popular.
