After a moment of speaking the awkwardness left and Sam started to like these siblings, their mother was Korean while their dad was Chinese and they had lived all their life here.

The big brother's name was Jin, he was in his 3rd year of university and aspired to be a doctor. He was a very talkative person, he never stopped talking but was never boring. Just the kind of guy everybody would want to be friend with.

The big sister's name was Annie, she was just like Sam in her first year of university and she studied languages. Contrary to her brother she didn't talk much but she always had a kind smile on her face that made people like her.

Sam took out a few boxes from his backpack and put a few things into Em's plate while Annie did the same, in her boxes were lots of things that looked delicious but... everything had a red hue, Asian people really liked spicy food. Today Sam had done pastas with meat balls and a salad, Em and Rika shared their plates. After a few seconds of eating from Rika's plate Em started breathing faster, then her face became red, tears even started to spill out of her eyes and finally she couldn't endure it and took a water bottle and gulped it in one time.

"I'm sorry Em I didn't know that you didn't like spicy food."

Sam was first surprised and then started laughing, Em had never liked spicy food but she actually ate it because she wanted to copy Rika. After spending a good time together both groups went toward the running ground, the break was over and the final round of the race will start now. The best teams of each group will compete in the final, the teams were Rika and Jin, Em and Sam and the best teams of the other three groups. Teacher Rose and her son had arrived 3rd in their group so they couldn't participate in the finals and Kate and her dad didn't even make it in the podium of their group, they arrived last...

People started to gather slowly, after a few minutes everybody was there again. After another short speech by the principal to encourage the losers, he announced the start of the final.

The five teams lined up, Em and Rika despite being best friends were full of fighting intent as they watched each other, not one of them wanted to recede the victory this easily. *PAAA*, the referee shot to give the start and everybody started running. At first everybody was equal and it was hard to distinguish who was in front of who, after a few seconds only a boy took the lead and started to extend the distance between him and the rest. He finally gave the relay first and his dad ran as fast as he could, a second later all the rest of the relays were passed and the rest of the adults started running at almost the same time. Sam noticed sadness in Em's eyes when she looked at the fastest boy, she probably really wanted to win so he focused and gave his all. He seemed as if he was flying and right behind him was Jin who was doing his best to not lose with a ragged breathing, he didn't expect Sam to go this fast and was momentarily thrown behind him. The race did almost 500 meters long, the kids ran 200 meters while the adults ran 300. When he had only a 100 meters left to run the dad in front relaxed a bit, he didn't expect to see someone passing him right at that moment with incredible speed, following the first one came another one, both were incredibly fast even after giving his all he couldn't get close to them. Finally Sam made it first and Jin second, the former was very surprised that the later could actually run as fast as him. They would have probably been tied if Jin didn't get surprised by the outburst of energy by Sam.


Later they were standing he and Em on the first step of the podium, he was indifferent but she had a bright smile and she was giggling and joking with Rika that was one step under her. The rewards weren't very important but Sam was happy that he came today as he had made a good friend, after the race he spoke with Jin and felt that he was a good guy so they exchanged their phone number.

Few minutes later Sam and Em we're back home, Em didn't stop smiling all along. She was actually very happy to have won and when he sent her to bed she was too excited to sleep so she asked him to sing her a song.

"What do you want me to sing ?"

"Whatever, sing me a happy song."

She said while she looked at him with her pure eyes, he smiled and went to grab his guitar.

He sang an adapted version of Paradise by Coldplay as the original wasn't sang with an acoustic guitar.

"She was just a girl...

She expected the world...

But it flew away from her reach...

So she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of....

Para-para-paradise...

Every time she closed her eyes..."

Sam enjoyed singing, he always felt something while watching singers on TV.

It actually felt good to tell a story throughout a song. Em fell asleep a few songs later with a big smile on her face, Sam kissed her forehead, turned off the light and went outside while gently closing the door.

He went in his room and turned on the computer, he couldn't endure it anymore and really wanted to check his view count on YouTube. He first checked the outdoor show. It had reached an incredible 60 000 views even though he had published it after the cover. And then he went very fast to check on the other video, this was the one he was counting on to make his first check after all.

When Sam saw the view count he couldn't believe it and refreshed the page a few times. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, it was still the same value.

155000 views.

His xxxtentacion cover had went way past the hundred thousand. He didn't believe that all those views came naturally, that's when he remembered the promise with Eric. He actually held his part of the promise ? He went on Instagram on his internet browser to check if this was what happened and it was really so. On the story of a very famous YouTuber he actually shared a screen of Sam's channel and wrote on top of it : " I was browsing the internet earlier when a friend sent me this, I think this guy is insanely good and deserve more views!! Check it out guys we're the first to find this future star ⭐️ "

'This dude really went all out, his friend actually have millions of subscribers even on instagram... maybe he isn't as bad as I thought ? We'll see that later, meanwhile I have to hold my side of the promise.'

He then checked his YouTube wallet and found that his total views had brought him nearly a 1000€, it should be this much but he had allowed ads to be shown during his video and this was what brought so much money. Of course he wouldn't get a 1000€, youtube will take around 45% so he actually made 550€ with 2 videos.

The count view of these videos will continue to rise but not as fast as it had already, or else he would need to find someone else to make him an ad like Eric's friend, harder done than said...
