**Chapter 1: The University Uproar**

Ray sat in his class, live streaming to his millions of followers on Twitch, as he often did to keep them entertained. He was a student at Streamer University, a unique institution where students and professors alike broadcast their daily lives to the world. The university's focus on live streaming had created a vibrant community, with students like Ray and his friends Kai, Duke, Agent, Fanum, and Chris making a name for themselves online. As one of Kai's closest friends, Ray had grown accustomed to being in the spotlight, but his friend, a popular streamer and YouTuber, wasn't in this class. The classroom was filled with students, all of whom were live streaming their lesson to their own audiences. Ray's professor, DDG, stood at the front of the room, lecturing on the day's topic. Ray, wearing his signature short, curly black hair and a bright smile, sat near the front, his beautiful brown eyes fixed on the teacher. Suddenly, a commotion broke out beside him. A girl with long blonde hair and a bright pink hat was arguing with someone out of frame. Her voice was loud and shrill, and Ray could feel his annoyance growing. "Can you just shut up and listen for once?" she shouted. The girl beside her, a petite blonde with a mean look in her eye, started chiming in, saying hurtful things to Ray. "Hey, you think you're so cool with your little streams and your pretty face," she sneered. Ray's eyes narrowed, and he let out a mocking laugh. "Oh, great, another hater," he said, rolling his eyes. The girl beside him looked taken aback, but the one arguing with her friend didn't seem to notice. A few moments later, her boyfriend, a tall, muscular guy with a scowl on his face, chimed in. "Hey, you think you're so funny, don't you, Ching Chong?" he sneered, using a racist slur. "Why don't you go back to Taiwan and leave us alone?" Ray's eyes widened in anger. He had never met this guy before, but his tone was unacceptable. Before he could respond, a nearby student tossed a Skittle at him. "Whoa, what's wrong with you?" the guy shouted, getting up from his seat. The professor, DDG, strode over to the pair, his voice firm. "Alright, that's enough. Ray, I need you to sit inform me for a bit. Your behavior is unacceptable." Ray sighed and shook his head, his stutter becoming more pronounced as he got frustrated. "W-what did I do, p-professor? I-I was just..." DDG smiled kindly. "Don't worry, Ray. I just need you to take a break from streaming for a bit. You're not going to be able to handle this class if you're being confrontational." Ray reluctantly stood up, still live streaming, and walked over to sit in front of DDG. The guy he'd thrown the Skittle at glared at him, but Ray just smiled sweetly and continued streaming. As he sat down, DDG started to lecture him on his behavior, but Ray couldn't help but think about how he was going to tell Kai, his best friend and the dean of Streamer University, about this incident. Kai, who was known for his short temper, would likely have a thing or two to say about it. Ray's mind wandered to his friends, all of whom were involved in the streaming world in some way. There was Duke, with his diamond grill and thick chains; Agent, with his thin black dreads and durag; Fanum, who was always cracking jokes; and Chris, who was kind and funny, but not much was known about him. They all made a living streaming on Twitch and YouTube, and Ray was grateful to have them as friends. But for now, he just focused on the task at hand: getting through this class without any more drama. Little did he know, this incident was only the beginning of a much larger problem.
