Chapter 21: [Bonus Chapter] 21 - Monetized!

Today at school was much quieter than yesterday, mainly because high school students have short memories.

Yesterday I was the topic of gossip, today it was Jackson and his dad.

Apparently a lot of students had added Principal Adams to FaceShoot and as soon as I made the post with the screenshots of the pedo shit he was doing to the students, the students saw it, showed it to their parents, the parents called the police and Principal Adams is no longer here today.

Unfortunately, Jackson didn't respond to my phishing email, but since he wasn't here today, I didn't care, as long as he disappeared from my sight, I was fine with that.

Even though the subject of today's gossip was Principal Adams, I noticed that some people were still commenting on me.

My anger started to rise again until I realized that the reason for these comments was not to make fun of me and Ethan, but because of my weight.

"Hey, did you see that Noah Black is thinner?" One girl commented to her friend in surprise.

"Thinner? He's still as fat as ever." Her friend replied indifferently.

"He's definitely thinner, look at his baggy clothes, even his face you can see him better now." The girl said.

"Really? That's kind of true...is it because of Jackson?" Her friend asked intrigued.

"I guess it could be, Jackson bullied him so much that he probably wanted to change." The girl tried to guess.

"This change is actually good for him." Her friend commented, apparently trying to analyze me.

When I realized that the subject of their gossip was my weight, I just ignored it and went to my classroom.

I'm still wearing my fat clothes, so even though I've lost 18 kilos, the change isn't so clear because my shirts are still as big as they were before.

And I could even feel good about these comments, but considering how shitty this school was and the people who studied here, why should I care?

I had already set a goal to move my siblings and I to another school when I started making more money.

This decision was more about Ethan and Olivia's future than my own, since I was in my last year and would only be at the school for a few months, so the education there would be of little use to me.

But for them, who still had a few years of study ahead of them, going to a better school would certainly help them get good grades in the SATs.

Of course, even though I went to a bad school, I still had some advantages.

[Math Classroom

Effect: +50% bonus when learning math related content.Duration: While I'm in this room].

This bonus really helped me learn everything.

The best thing was that because I really studied these subjects with an interest in learning, I didn't just follow the books blindly, but looked for points that could be useful to me and dedicated myself to them.

For example, instead of trying to study the best way to calculate the angles of a triangle, I used Math Buff to speed up my learning of programming, as well as the possible applications in the world of music.

Having to focus on other areas instead of just learning what the books taught was more difficult because not all the information was available in the books with good explanations, so I used my cell phone to look up the subjects I wanted, even if I had to read university articles, and learned from there.

My teachers were frustrated when they realized that I wasn't paying attention in class, but after I proved that I knew what they were talking about and answered the questions correctly, they began to trust me more and let me study the way I wanted.

Unfortunately, one thing I discovered during my time at this school is that there really isn't a music room here, so I wouldn't be able to take advantage of a buff like the other subjects to improve my music-related training.

But that didn't affect me too much, because I was still able to learn and improve very quickly.

During my time in school, my skill level increased slightly.

[Intermediate Math Lv 29 -> Lv 30].

[Intermediate Biology Lv 25 -> 26]

[Intermediate Physics...]

After returning home and having lunch, I looked at my phone and was very pleased with the growth of my MeTube channel.

[83,023 views 4,611 subscribers].

My song was currently at 5,000 hours of views, which meant that I could finally apply for MeTube to monetize my channel.

Without wasting much time, I quickly completed the registration and within a few minutes I had filled out the necessary form.

With the last click, MeTube took a few seconds to verify the data I had filled in and my channel was already monetized!

From now on, every view the video received would earn me a few dollars.

Of course, considering that my channel only got a few tens of thousands of views a day, I'd only get a few tens of dollars, still a far cry from what I was getting from the drawings, but it was an extra to keep track of.

My Spokify profile was starting to get some views from people who put Numb on their playlist, but it hadn't even hit 1,000 views for me to get anything.

"Noah, are you going to record the new song?"

I suddenly heard an excited voice coming from my bedroom door.

Since the room wasn't mine alone, Ethan took advantage of the moments when I was practicing to just stay in the room and listen to the music.

I think he already knew all the words to the song.

"Yeah buddy, I think I'm going to record In The End now, what do you think?" I asked smiling.

Although I wasn't so used to it when I came into this world, I think Ethan's charisma must be around 20 points, because it's very hard not to like him.

Or maybe it's just the idea of being the older brother that makes me look up to him even more? I don't know.

Anyway, now it seems much easier and more natural to be affectionate with him, which I like.

"Yes! Yeah, record that song today, that song is so cool!!! Don't you know, when I sang this song at school, everyone was talking about how cool I sang it!" Ethan said excitedly, leaving me surprised.

"You sang In The End in school?" I asked in surprise.

Ethan froze when he heard my question.

I could see his expression instantly change to one of regret.

"I'm sorry, Noah, I... I didn't mean to..." Ethan began to apologize, almost crying when he realized that he had shown Noah's song to all of his friends at school.

-------- Ethan's comment --------

Sitting on the sofa, Ethan was almost in tears as he clutched one of the pillows.

"I didn't want to spread Noah's music at school..." He said sadly, trying to hold back the tears. "I just thought the song was really cool and that I would sound really cool singing it, and it really worked!"

Getting a little more animated, Ethan explained. "Tony made fun of me again and to answer him I said my brother is a famous singer!"

"Ethan really is a famous singer!" He said indignantly.

"But when Tony heard that, he started laughing and dared me to sing one of my brother's songs." He said, rubbing his face. "When he dared me, I thought I'd look as cool as Noah when I sang, so I sang In The End."

Getting up from the sofa, Ethan excitedly told the camera. "You had to see it, everyone looked at me surprised after I sang it, even Tony was shocked at how cool the song was, so when I got home I told Noah!" He sadly sat back down on the sofa.

He sat down sadly on the sofa again. "But I forgot that I couldn't show his song to anyone, because imagine if one of my friends stole his song and gave it to a very famous singer? What could Noah do?"

-------- Comment End --------

When Ethan explained what had happened and why he was so scared, I had to stop myself from laughing.

There was no risk of anyone stealing my song because I had already secured the copyright for it, so even if someone sang it, they couldn't make money off it without my permission unless they wanted to get sued.

And who would be afraid of 9 or 10 year olds stealing their music?

"It's okay Buddy, if you want to sing my songs at school, no problem, just wait until I release the songs first." I said as I stroked his head.

"Really?" He asked, his eyes shining with a mixture of tears and hope.

"Sure, if you want I can even teach you how to play the guitar!" I laughed as I handed him the guitar.

Shocked, Ethan held the guitar and tried to imitate my playing, but looking at the difference in size between the guitar and Ethan, I thought maybe that wouldn't work?

"Or maybe I could teach you how to play the ukulele first?" I said a little insecurely, thinking that buying him a ukulele might be easier for him to start with.
