As Saturday arrived than I expected, yesterday I got busy to buy the book, so maybe next time. I'll just keep the money. "Morgan, are you ready?" Dorothy asked me, she's smiling so widely that it spook me at some point. She can't hide how excited she is for me. She's almost squealing.

Charlotte turn her head on us, her eyes doesn't look like she'll spare our lives. "Dorothy, stop asking that the same question for multiple times," then she sighed giving an accusing look. She pointed me. "Because this nuthead here, won't be ready even if we're already on the school." Dorothy pouted, hugging the pillow beside her.

I tsked, side eyeing her. "Don't be mean." After saying that, I go back to being miserable again. I don't know what to do, and Charlotte must be right, I'll never be ready for this no matter how excited and happy I am. Because--

My thoughts was cut off, when Charlotte spoke again. "If you start looking for something presentable on your closet, probably right now you're already ready." Dorothy nodded her head. She stand up, and walk to my side.

"I'll help you look for your outfit, come on."

"Just listen to Dorothy, because I, myself will be the one to drag you to your room if you won't move." I grunt as Dorothy pulled my arm, dragging me up, while chuckling.

She asked me to sit on my bed and wait, because she'll find something for me. I just hope she'll find something. I lay down, my hands rested on my stomach, staring at the ceiling as if it's interesting than anything around. "Here!" I heard Dorothy, she's giggling and I saw her holding three piece of clothing. A khaki trouser, white t-shirt with print in the middle, and a beige cropped cardigan. "This will do, you pair these with your brown leather ankle-boots."

I got up and take it from her. "Thanks, Dorothy." I hug her with all my might, she hugged me back with another chuckle. "You're such an angel." I get my towel, then take a bath. When I got dressed, I got out of the bathroom, then run to my room to check the time, it's past 1 in the afternoon. After gathering my things in my sling bag, I go to living area, and saw Dorothy playing with her phone.

She looked up at me, then smile. "I'll help you with your hair." She then instructed me to sit down on the floor, as she fixed my hair.

Charlotte peeked at her room, which caught my attention. She's wheezing, before saying, "Make her look presentable, because our president would be please to see it." Then shut her door, before I even open my mouth to react. Dorothy laugh saying she will. I facepalm, knowing they won't stop teasing me about Seonghwa.

With the thought of Seonghwa, I found myself smiling, feeling ease to think he will be there too. Now fast-forward to the main event, our arts were already there, along with the rest of the arts that are from different university. The teachers told us to stay close with them at the back near where the arts are displayed, while the rest of the students are in front.

"Don't be nervous," I heard Seonghwa whispered, squishing my shoulder. I look at him and flash him a smile as respond. I wish I could stop myself from being nervous, but I can't. Maybe it's because for the fact that, there are big people to judge my piece, and there are many people witnessing it. Or another fact that, there might be no one to be interested on my art, leaving it alone.

Even though being assured, there's no piece of art to be left, I'm still worried. I saw Jiyoon stood beside me and smile. "Hey," she called, and I look at her with raised eyebrows. "It's okay, I know the nerve, but try to relax." She chuckle, "Ms. Jooyoun asked me to tell you to relax, because you're trembling visibly." She pat my shoulder gently, as her eyes fixed on the back of our art work.

It made me feel at ease at some point, Seonghwa not too far from me, giving me comforting smile with two thumbs up. He's also mouthing that is okay, and I should not worry. "Hello everyone ~" The emcee started, earning a cheer from the crowd. "Are you all excited to see the masterpiece of each three universities?" He asked in playful tone, that made everyone roar in excitement as if, they were all interested. He introduced the big people whom he addresses as CEO's of big companies, that I don't even know. It was told, one of them might be the one who'll take our art, so we should anticipate.

Also before they start the bidding, they told us that this exhibition was to also help less fortunate people, which means, the 1/4 of the bidding will be given to the chosen charity and the rest... yes, it will be given to us. After the long event, we come to an end, and to wrapped up, we were called to introduce ourselves and take a picture with the person who bought our piece. It was fun, and exciting. Because before bidding start, there were flashes of cameras, and there some taking a picture of the displayed arts, including mine! Now I can't control my excitement.

As planned of the officers, we will be going to Hannah's house for the party, and I don't think my two friends will be fond of it. After the settlement, I went to say goodbye to the exhibition manager, and run to them. "Charlotte!" I called out and they spun around to look at me, running towards them.

"Congrats!" Nara squeal, she's jumping up and down together with Dorothy. "We're so proud of you!"

Dorothy bobbed her head cheerfully, she's giggling. "Yeah we are! And you might get featured on tv news! OMG! I can't wait!"

Charlotte laugh at them and throw her arm across my shoulder. "I don't really like partying, but we should celebrate this achievement you got." She put her chin up, raising an eyebrow at me. "Gaja~" She's literally dragging me right now, with her arm wrapping around my neck. Her other arm on Dorothy.

"Wait, wait." I said then got away from her grasped. They look at me confused, then I look around. "Where is Seonghwa?" I absentmindedly asked. Then I realized, as I looked at them whose throwing me that mischievous look.

"Why are you looking for him?" Nara asked in a teasing tone, she squint her eyes and smirk. Charlotte smirk too, while Dorothy chuckle.

"I thought it'll be on monday?" Nara and Charlotte nod in agreement, while giving me 'that' look. I swear, I will whack their faces if they won't stop. But I don't understand or I didn't get what she means, so I tilt my head quizzically. "I'm talking about you two, I thought he'll asks you out on monday."

I nodded unsurely. "Yeah...? Did I say we're already together?"

Charlotte replied, "No, but you act like yes." She shrugged.

Then Nara whistle, and look up from her phone. "Jisung told me they're waiting for us outside, your lover boy is there too." She stated with a playful laugh on the last part. Dorothy linked her arm on me, while Nara did the same to Charlotte then they march, dragging us with them, heading the exit.

"Let go, I know how to walk." Charlotte deadpanned.

Nara shook her head, holding her tight. "Nope, I'm not letting you go. You might get lost."

"Why do you think--"

"Shhh, just shut up and walk. So annoying."

"First--"

"Second?"

"I swear Nara!"

"You didn't."

I and Dorothy laugh as we listen to them bicker all through out the bus.
