Walking into the cafeteria Shabeela was pulled by the wrist
She looked at Joshua who held her wrist in confusion
He started to walk and Shabeela followed
He stopped in the empty halls and looked at Shabeela
"Is everything okay?" Shabeela asked confused
"Uhhh No. I'm sorry." Joshua said
"Your sorry. For what. What did you do?" Shabeela asked
"I—you don't remember." Joshua said
"Remember what." Shabeela said
"Saturday night at the club." Joshua told her
"What happened there, that your apologizing." Shabeela was still confused
"It's nothing" Joshua said
"It's nothing. Did I say something stupid. I was super drunk. Oh my gosh I must have said something stupid before I blacked out right. What did I say?" Shabeela said worried
"Do you like me." Joshua said
"Boy. Where's that coming from." Shabeela said sarcastically
"No I'm serious." Joshua had a straight face
"Okay. So am I. I don't want anything to do with you." Shabeela said
Joshua stood quiet for a second
Remembering everything Shabeela said that night
A drunk girl never tells lies
"It's not that I don't like you. It's just that I can't trust you." Shabeela said
"Yea I got that part." Joshua said disappointed
Shabeela looked at him while he looked at her
Shabeela then lifted her face up to reach Joshua's face and placed a soft kiss on his cheek
"Ewwwwww do you ever take a break Joshua. Cmon. I'm so embarrassed to be related to you." Laila said as she was walking past them in the halls heading to the bleachers outside
But they just ignored her presence
"Just don't hurt me." Shabeela said in a soft tone as she walked off
Joshua stood there with his hand on his cheek
He was in shock
He didn't know what that kiss meant
Does she actually like me?
Does she want me to officially ask her out?
Can I stop trying so hard?
Joshua had all these questions running though his head

Laila finally made her way out to the feild by the bleachers where Yeonjun was waiting on her.
Laila didn't want to go. She thought about it for a good minute
But she had to straighten things out with Yeonjun
"You came" Yeonjun was kind of surprised
"Yea well no durrrr. Did you not tell me to" Laila said
"Yea but I was here forever I figured you wouldn't show up." Yeonjun said
"Yea I thought about it for a while but I'm here now. So talk" Laila said
"Ohhhhh uhhh okay so ummmmm about what I said and did at the club" Yeonjun began to talk
"YOU REMEBER" laila yelled
"Yea. It's a blur but I slightly remeber." Yeonjun said
"But I do like you laila. I've liked you for a while now. And I wanted to know if you would like to go out with me." Yeonjun asked Laila out
"ME GO OUT WITH YOU? O-M-F-G THATS CRAZY" laila continued to yell with her hands gesturing around
Yeonjun just sat around thinking about what the crazy part was
"Ooookay so what does that mean" Yeonjun said confused
"Uhhhhh ummm okay I guess. Let's go try this out." Laila said calm after she just yelled
"Really" Yeonjun said standing up as his eyes lit up
"Yea" Laila giggled at him
The two walked hand in hand to the cafeteria
With eyes all on them
"Damn new couple alert." Jay said
As the two blushed at what he said

Hajra was walking out of the cafeteria when Jay noticed her
He followed her out of the cafeteria
"Hey tutor girl." He called out
Hajra turned around to him
"Can I take you out sometime." Jay said
"What?" Hajra smiled with all her teeth out
"Lemme take you out sometime" Jay said
"Ummm lemme think about it." Hajra said stood there pretending to think
"Okay." Hajra simply answered
"Okay I'll pick you up tommarow at 8." Jay said
Hajra smiled and went her own way

Yeonjun was sat in the middle of Jake and Laila
He noticed Jake being awfully quiet
"What's up with you. Why you so depressed. You won the game. What's left" Yeonjun said to Jake
"Not everything is about the game." Jake said to him
"You like a girl." Yeonjun shoved his face closer to Jakes
"Huh? What? No" Jake said
"Yea you do because there's nothing more for boys it's just girls or the game and if it's not the game then." Yeonjun spoke
"Okay so what if I like a girl." Jake said
"Then why isn't she by your side." Yeonjun said
"It's complicated." Jake said
"Your Jake Sim how complicated could it get." Yeonjun said
"That's the whole problem. I'm Jake Sim. She doesn't like Jake Sim. She likes Jake" Jake said
"What the hell. Who is she. Who doesn't like Jake Sim. Tell me her name." Yeonjun said
"No" Jake said
"I can't help you if you don't tell me her name" Yeonjun said
"Okay but don't tell anyone" Jake said
"Okay" Yeonjun put his ear closer to him
"Afeefa" Jake said lowly
"MY TUTOR" Yeonjun accidentally yelled
"Shhh. your tutor?" Jake was confused
"So you guys are close." Jake said
"No she barley talks. I still owe her 3 wishes." Yeonjun said
"Oh lemme set you guys up for the winter dance and everything will be perfect. Her wishes will be granted." Yeonjun said
"How do you know she wants to go with me." Jake said
"I don't but you have to make a grand gesture. Then she will." Yeonjun said
"Okay." Jake agreed

Sunghoon was in his thoughts sitting in the group
"Do you know why Farwa is acting up? Are auditions really that stressful" Sunghoon said
"She's doing auditions again" Laila said
"Oh she gets really stressed out with auditions." Sana added
"Will she be okay." Sunghoon said
"Yea she seems fine this time around. Last time she went a bit umm off track" laila said
"I haven't noticed anything she should be fine" Sana said
"Yea she's probably just stressed." Sunghoon said

After school Farwa drove to her audition and got out of the car.
She went on stage to give her audition
And well, she didn't do to good.
The judges told her to practice a little more and Maby next time she could get a part
Farwa stormed off the stage and was heading towards her car.
She had tears in her eyes and looked devastated
Someone stopped her by the arm and held her wrist
Farwa pulled her arm out of his hand and turned around to see who it was
"Are you following me around now." Farwa said
"No I just heard you would be here so I came to watch." Jeonghan said
"You shouldn't have. I just embarrassed myself in front of everyone." Farwa said wiping her eyes
"No you didn't. You were good. You just needed to be a little relaxed. You looked really tense." Jeonghan said
"Yea I guess. I should try that next time." Farwa said
"I need to go be somewhere." Farwa added
"Where?" Jeonghan asked
"Why are you so nosy . I just have to go pick something up." Farwa said
"Something like what? Drugs" Jeonghan said
"No. Now leave me alone." Farwa said
"Why? Why do you choose drugs." Jeonghan said
"Leave me alone I have to go." Farwa said walking off
"You do drugs so you can forget about the world. So everything seems easier. To block out all the voices in your head. Well it's not going to help you. It will just ruin you." Jeonghan said as Farwa was walking away
Farwa stopped and turned around
Walking towards Jeonghan with an angry face
"What do you know what I'm going through. You have no idea. You proabbaly have it perfect. You probably have your whole life planned out. But you know nothing about me so stop assuming things." Farwa said
"I do know. I know exactly what your going through. My sister went through the same thing 4 years back. And now she's not even around. The drugs took over her and now she's gone forever. That's why I care. And I know you can get through whatever your going through without drugs." Jeonghan said
Farwa froze
She felt sad hearing about his sisters story
She didn't want that to be her
She didnt want to go back to rehab either
It was too lonely there
"I- I'm sorry. I didn't know. But how can I get through it. I feel like the world is collapsing on me. I can't get one audition right. My voice cracks when I try to sing. I'm tired of everything. I need Help" Farwa cried
Jeonghan held her and caressed her back to comfort her
But someone was watching from a distance
Feeling an ache in his heart
