Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 119:

“Keep working on it for a while longer. Have you got an account on Stellar Social yet? Try posting a few short videos to increase your visibility. After you’ve signed up, tell me, and I’ll make sure to follow you,” Norah texted.

“Okay,” Zeke quickly replied.

Before long, Zeke had set up a new account under the name Dream. Norah was quick to follow him using her Starbeam account.

“Where would you like to have your first performance of this song? At the Glamour Club? Or maybe on a talent show?” Norah inquired.

Zeke didn’t hesitate with his response, saying, “The Glamour Club.”

The Glamour Club was a big deal for his band, as it was not only a prestigious venue but also a place where they could record their performances and share them on Stellar Social. It was a smart move, hitting two targets at once.

Norah shared the same thought. Taking Rosy Secret down from their favorite stage could break their spirits even more.

“Once you’re ready and have practiced enough, contact me. I’ll help you get a slot for your performance. I’ll send over a new song later.”

“That’s awesome. Thank you, Norah.”

After Zeke caught Joanna calling Norah by her first name, the entire band started calling Norah by her first name as well.

“Just make sure you keep at it, and don’t ease up.” After this exchange, Norah refreshed herself and went back to her room to start up her computer.

It had been some time since she last dived into her hacking skills, and today seemed like the perfect day for a little adventure.

When she checked out a worldwide hacker hangout, she saw that she still ruled the hacker charts, causing her to smirk out of sheer boredom.

The second and third spots were consistently held by C and T, but after refreshing the page, they changed to N and T.

For a moment, Norah wondered if the N referred to her own name. Her sharpened instincts made her think it could be.
