A Different Side of U (Jackson Yi Yang Qian Xi story)

7~Drumsticks and Drums

A/N: Hey guys, sorry for making you wait so long for the next chapter, school is busy. Anyways, I have two questions for you, my reader. First, should I make Raven have a younger sister like NanNan? And second, should I put in Tfboy's chinese names or just their english name like now? Thanks!

There was a knock on Raven's bedroom door before Pang Hu stepped in. "Sorry for the interruption, Ms. Zhen, but I'm here to notify you that because of the tfboys, there will be cameras around your house and wherever they go just to keep their fans in China updated." Raven could allow with a nod. Honestly though, Raven would prefer not to film her in case rumors spread to Chinese websites.

When Pang Hu left, Raven quickly tapped into YouTube and searched up the most recent tfboys video. There was a Mango Star News with pictures of tfboys getting into the car from the dance studio, saying how they were now at staying at America for who knows how long. Raven sighed, it wouldn't take long for everyone to find out they were living with her eventually.

Not long afterwards, Raven didn't know how long, she suddenly heard, "RRRRAAAAAVVVEEEEEEEENNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!" from out from out side her window and her name was shouted for almost a minute until her bedroom door busted open. No surprise it was Meggie. So in return, Raven waited for her friend to run to her side before screaming "MMMEEEEEGGGGGIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!" making the other girl cover her ears and give a playful frown, "exactly," Raven scolded.

The frown was then quickly replaced by an overly excited face, "Guess what?" but didn't let Raven give a sarcastic answer before saying, "Theresawholeschooltalentshownextmonthandtheyrebeginingauditionsonmondaysoyoushouldtotalytryoutandshowoffyourdancingorsingingskillz!" Gasping for breath afterwards.

Raven looked at Meggie as if she was mentally ill. "Ok, let me make this clear for you. First of all, I will never dance and sing in front of the whole school. Second of all, I'm not that good at dancing or singing. Third of all, why would I? Fourth of all, go audition alone or ask tfboys to do it. Fifth of all-" Raven was stopped by the look on her friend's face. A mixture that said you've got to be kidding me and seriously? and you're mental and are you done now? and shut up because I don't care.

"Too bad Rave, I already turned in the audition form yesterday so you're gonna have to do it." Maggie shrugged. "Oh, and by the way, I'm not doing it." before she got chased out of the room by Raven.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Raven exclaimed through the door. But the form was already sent so there'll be no way out. The thing is though, Raven never showed anyone her singing and dancing abilities except for Meggie (and Gina only knows that she dances). In fact, she barely even participates in school so no doubt everyone's going to be surprised. Unless, she can find someone do to it with her. Her feet magically dragged her infront of the guest bedroom where the boys slept.

"大家好，我们是TFBOYS" The voices in the room were muffled, but it was clear that they were doing a video blog so Raven just lost the confidence and decided to go to the basement and practice her instruments instead.

Jackson's 3rd POV

Just finishing their first video blog in America to keep their fans updated, all the live comments were the same as before. How's America, how have you been, don't forget to wear thicker clothing, I love you, have you eaten, come back soon, and the list goes on. Really appreciating their fans' thoughts for them and this is so far the longest time they'll be staying at a different country, but they'd also like to know how it feels to not have any (auntie) fans running after them on a regular basis.

Jackson decide to have a snack on the first floor and I hear the muffled noise of the drums. It's almost impossible to hear but decided to take a look anyway. Stepping into the instrument room, Jackson didn't want to interrupt Raven, who was beating the drums so pro-ly (A/N, not sure if that's a word). But he also wanted to ask her to be his drums teacher.

The boy watched as the oblivious girl twirled the drumstick in her fingers and walked towards the next instrument, piano. Placing the stick on top, her fingers rested onto of the keys and just like that, music flowed out as Raven's fingers danced from high to low. The song ended and Jackson hesitated but stepping into sight and coughed, catching the girl's attention.

"Oh, Hey, I didn't see you there," Raven said in a surprised tone.

"Hi," Jackson scratched the back of his neck unconsciously, "Um, I heard you play, you're really good." Flustered at the compliment Raven replied with a thanks and Jackson then got to his point, "Well, I'm actually really interested in learning those instruments... So do you mind teaching me a little?" And just as he said that, Jackson felt his face go warm and had to remind himself that they barely know each other.

The girl gapped for a second and stammered, "S-sure thing." And sticking her thumbs up wanting to lessen the tension and awkwardness.

Raven's 3rd POV

Raven wasn't sure if she heard correctly. In fact, she wasn't even sure she was seeing right. Was the talented Jackson Yi really asking her for help? Was the Jackson Yi really blushing? Was the Jackson Yi even in front of her? Yes, Yes, Yes. Now Raven couldn't say no to a famous Cpop star now, could she? So, yes would have to work out.

Handing the drumsticks to Jackson, she began the mini lesson. Raven hesitated a bit before making her hands gently touch the boy's as she adjusted his grip. Mentally, Raven was going crazy. But on the outside, she pretended as if he's just a friend. Jackson's hands were actually really warm and soft and it sent a chill down her spine.

It was all Raven could think about at night. Forcing away the memory like nothing happened, she drifted off with a smile on her face, as possibilities of what might happen later circled her dreams.
