Finally, the festival day was upon us. 

Music was blazing around because of the seniors driving around in a truck, blaring the music and starting the festival with and upbeat vibe. 

"START IT UP!" 

Everyone starts to cheer, loudly. I, for one, am not going to lose my voice at this festival but I will have fun. That is if my sister, Crystal, doesn't ruin everything. I already told her not to come and waste her time here, but i'm expecting her to come.

Father told me that he told Crystal to keep an eye on Daniel Park, just so I can watch her as well. Like hell i'm going to miss the festival just to keep an eye on her. No. I want to enjoy myself here even if i don't talk to some new people. I need a break. 

Now. Let's start the J High Festival!! 

Our school is famous for its Festival's sights. A lot of people gathered and each dept also attempted in making a profit for the event. There where a range of ideas: Snack Booths, Cafes, etc.

But as for our dept....

"ALRIGHT! VOTE RESULTS...! One of you have to participate in the slave auction." I point at both Daniel and Zack as I say the results. Zack already starts to protest. 

"What?? Are you nuts?! Why ME?? No WAY I'M GOING TO GO!" Zack yells at me. I throw him a glare and he quickly clears his throat, but still huffs in annoyance.

"Alright then, if you can make a profit, I'll let you off the hook." I say as I notice Zack steal a couple of glances from Mira, his (obvious) crush. He growls and gives into my pressure on him. Yes. Now I'm going to put him in the most profitable place he can be put in. 

HIT HIM IN A MINUTE AND DOUBLE YOUR MONEY

I read the sign and nod in satisfaction. I yell after Zack as the crowd begins to be amazed at Zack's skills. 

"Good job, Zack! Keep it up!!" He nods at me, throwing me a thumbs-up as he dodges every punch thrown at him, flawlessly. 

I look around the festival, weighing my options. In the end, i chose Daniel to be in the slave auction. But there were also various dept performances planned to show off their skills. Beauty dept is a massive success because of the actual beauty, and the only male, Eli Jang. Even I have to admit that he's good looking but... I always find myself thinking why he would chose such a... creative hair color. It fit him... but it wasn't him. If you get what i mean.

Baking dept was taking a loss due to poor sales. And architecture dept.....$0.

J High is famous for the three stages at the festival. The first was... our class fashion show. 

"Haha haha!!! What the hell is that??"

"Ahahahahah!!!" 

"What are they doing??"

It looked uncomfortable being up there. So i felt bad for the guys that went up there. Plus, the outfits were made by sophomores to be worn at the festival on stage. 

I walked backstage to see the senior guys that walked with the outfits on. I see Zack and Daniel back there too. Then there was yelling.

"You!! HOW COULD YOU MAKE ME WEAR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!" A senior yells at a sophomore that had made the outfit. 

"I could make something better blindfolded!!" 

"Then go right ahead!!" The sophomore argues back as his senior grips him by his collar.

"I can't cause they made me model because of my height!!" The senior yells and pushes the sophomore away, looking at Daniel, Zack, and I. We bow.

"Hi."         "Hello."        "Hey."  

We greet him and respectfully bow because he's our senior. I recognize his voice. Cho Ma?

"Oh... hey Zack. Huh? [Y/n]? Hey! Been a while." The senior, Cho, hugs me from the side quickly before grabbing the sophomore again from his collar. 

"Who's that? He's handsome." Cho asks me and Zack.  "He's the new transfer." I explain.  

"Oh! That's him!" Cho realizes.

Cho begins to gives Daniel some side notes and told for modeling while whining about the sophomore who did his costume. But anyways, the fashion show this year met everyone's expectations. And the following event was... the slave auction.

"Hello everyone! They're starting!" The host of the auction announced. "I'm Hwan Kim from the Baking Dept and I'll be hosting this year's Slave Auction!" He says with a wink. "Last year i was sold for the highest bid so this year i'll be the MC!" Girls yell in excitement as the host walks around the stage, smiling. 

The highest bid this year will also be next year's mc, so they say. I wonder who will be the highest, although I have a high bet on Daniel being this year's highest bid. I don't think i'll lose this bet. 100% sure.

"This year, girls will bid for freshmen guys until there is the highest bid! The winner gets an 8 hour date on the day of her choosing! Dates at night are not allowed so remember that!" The host announced. I squeeze through the tight crowd and I might've thrown some reflexed elbows into some guts, ...totally on accident. 

"Excuse me... pardon... let me by..." I excuse myself through the crowd and push through. A few guys let me by with reddened faces but i pay no attention to them. Some girls also scoff as I push through and their boyfriends stare at me. I sigh, irritatingly and walk up to the front.

Once i was in the front of the crowd, the host eyes met mine and he stared, gaping but cleared his throat to begin calling out the guys.

"O-okay! The first slave is Beom Kim from the practical music dept!" The host announced the first "slave". Girls began to yell out numbers starting from 50 then being sold by 65. I chuckle softly at hearing the amount.

The guy sold for 65, walks off the stage, solemnly, and towards the girl that bought him.

The third guy walks onto the stage and is sold for $80. The 3rd guy walks through the curtains and girls begin to squeal. I smile warmly as the guy's eyes met mine and he immediately smiles. His name is Eli Jang from Beauty Dept. He was really nice and welcoming to me when we bumped into each other once in the hallways. 

I kind of felt he would be someone i would get along with.

"Sold for $500!" The host's gapes as his record has probably been broken. But that's nothing. Wait until Daniel get out here... then the really competition begins. 

The fourth guy comes out and I put a hand over my mouth to stifle my laughter at the way Vasco walks onto the stage. Girls at first admire his body and form but after they look at his face clearly they get scared and no one bids. I yell out clearly.

"$500!" 

The host looks over to me and sighs disappointed but recovers quickly. "Sold for $500!!" Vasco looks up surprised and looks for me in the crowd from the stage. Our eyes meet and I wave. He waves back happily and i motion him to wipe away a tear from his face. He obeys and jumps off the stage. 

"I'll meet him out later." I say to myself.

The fifth guy, one of sunglass- I mean- Vin Jin's followers walks onto the stage and immediately get sold for 50 cents. 

"Okay, next up....OH! I saw this guy before and i was amazed!" 

Everyone's attention is caught by a tall guy that walks onto the stage slowly and hesitantly. I breathe out slowly and look around for my sister as they call out his name. 

"Daniel Park!!"
