Div following pointer on hover

I want to show a floating div that follows the pointer when you're hovering certain divs, so far I found this piece of code with jquery that works when hovering the whole body, but what I want is to work on certain divs:

CSS

<div id="tail">mouse tail</div>

Jquery

$(document).bind('mousemove', function(e){
    $('#tail').css({
       left:  e.pageX + 20,
       top:   e.pageY
    });
});

I tried bind to specific selector but it didn't work.

The div should disapear when you hover outside the div and reappear when you hover in.

Target the specific divs, give them onmouseenter/onmouseleave events:

#tail {
  position: fixed;
}

.hidden {
  display: none;
};

window.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e){
  $('#tail').css({
   left:  e.pageX + 20,
   top:   e.pageY
  });
});

var myDiv = document.getElementById('tail');
var targets = Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName('myTargets'));

targets.map(function(target){
    target.addEventListener('mouseenter', function(){
        document.getElementById('tail').classList.remove('hidden')
    });
    target.addEventListener('mouseleave', function(){
        document.getElementById('tail').classList.add('hidden')
    });
});

Just set the div display to none when the mouse leaves and display block when it enters

$('.something').bind('mousemove', function(e){
    $('#tail').css({
       left:  e.pageX + 20,
       top:   e.pageY
    });
});

$('.something').bind('mouseleave', function(e){
    $('#tail').css({
       display:  'none'
    });
});
$('.something').bind('mouseenter', function(e){
    $('#tail').css({
       display:  'block'
    });
});
#tail {
  position: fixed;
  display: none;
}

.something {
  width: 200px;
  height: 160px;
  background: yellow;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="tail">mouse tail</div>

<div class='something'> stuff </div>
