Stealing Spree

Chapter 2534 Social Media

After taking that selfie, Mei-chan didn't return to her seat. She got so comfortable with squeezing on our side, wedging herself into the narrow space beside us with her shoulders pressed against mine as she scrolled through her phone, giggling at the freshly taken selfie.

Marika, still nestled against me, didn't seem to mind the extra company. Her fingers idly traced patterns on my sleeve as she watched Mei-chan with quiet amusement.

I mean, I get it. She's adorable. However, she also smells like trouble. She's someone who can be dubbed to be terminally online. She was documenting everything around her by posting photos and status updates online.

It's like she's willing to open herself to the public, ignoring scrutiny and chasing clout. Nevertheless, considering she's not getting in trouble for it yet, she possibly knows what to and what not to post. Or maybe she has secret account where she's posting those she cannot post on her public account.

Among my girls, even if they have social media accounts, most of them are not that active on them. Other than official group chats for classes and activities, they will only post photos occasionally. At most, they'll scroll through their feeds and leave reactions to some posts.

I once thought that they might've been feeling restricted because of our relationship, but when I brought it up to Yua and Ririka, the ones most active in maintaining their virtual identity, they immediately refuted it by saying that not everyone was interested in putting their daily life or just airing their thoughts in public. Many still prefer privacy.

Because despite being inactive, most of them still garnered a lot of followers. I mean, who will not be interested if they see their photos? I keep falling in love every time I see them.

Anyway, that's that. As for posting our photos together, some of them already did. They blocked my face with an emoji. I don't know if my poses are the same in those photos, but if someone can connect the dots, then props to them. Low chance that it will lead back to me, and even if it does, my own public account still has my photo before my haircut. Furthermore, I have no full-body photo in it...

Of course, I've seen some notifications that tagged me with their stolen shots, especially from students in our school. But I have no time to waste checking them one by one.
