CHAPTER THREE
#STAY_TUNED...
MORNING
ALEXA'S BEDROOM
A piece of soft music was playing on Alexa's Amazon Smart Speaker.
Alexa sat up on her bed; the blanket covered her waist, and on top of it was her laptop. Her notepad and glitter pen were also by the side of the bed. She was wearing her glasses as she was busy tapping on her computer.
Fast typing fingers...whispering lips...and roaming eyes.
ALEXA: (Waves her right hand) Hi, everyone!
[The girls were online]
LOCATION
DIFFERENT HOUSES
Different bedrooms were shown. Some girls were alone, some in between their siblings, and some with friends.
Some were in the bathroom, some in the toilet. Some were doing some kind of early morning exercise routine. Some were curled up in bed, and some were in different kinds of weird positions. But one thing was common. All fifteen phones were glittering as all were online on GIRLSAY, waiting for what was next.

BACK IN ALEXA'S BEDROOM
Alexa was still typing furiously.
ALEXA'S V.O: My name is Curie. Short for curiosity. Ha! Ha! And I'm your questionnaire for the entire game.
[A female anime figure pops up on the screen and waves]
ALEXA'S V.O: This platform has different people from different family backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. Also had different experiences growing up. Your profiles are private unless you want to make them public.
(Bites her left index fingernail)
You all already know the rules, so...
(Still typing)
Thats it!!! I also believe that everyone here is between the age of 15 to 18 years...yeah!
(Coughs)
TO HERSELF: Is that too much...(rolls her eyes) Urrgh!
(Continues)
ALEXA'S VOICE: The game has a total of 45 topics and everyone's views and opinions are to be shared—truthfully. I will be the one introducing the topics and hashtags. Lol! (Shrugs)
This game's gonna last for a month and a few weeks until the holidays are over which means we are all gonna be online throughout this period. It doesn't hinder any of your activities. Besides, it's the hols anyway...yeah, right!
(Breathes)
So...let's begin!!!
First of all, I hope we don't mind introducing our names and age!
