Class of Mischief | APHMAU Mystreet AU DF#1

~ 18 ~

>18<

The whole auditorium was seemingly packed with students--as if an assembly took place. Amelia had gone to the front of the stage, checking final preparations as the first performance of her students came, she peeked to the back seeing the audience seats full, some students getting their camera's ready.

Amelia smirked as she sighed, moving to the side. Behind the stage, Aphmau was nervous as she was set to be Christina of Phantom of the Opera.

"Mic's are good?" Aaron asked, holding her shoulder as she wore a beautiful white mid-length dress. "Don't be scared Alpha." Dottie cheered as she took deep breaths, trying to calm down. "Actors, dancers to the front." A voice in the ear-pieces spoke. The rest rushed to the front of the stage, still hidden behind the velvet curtains.

Amelia rose to the stage, some clapping and some in silence. She gave a smile. "Good afternoon to all who've come and watched this play of Class Fortune. I humbly thank you all for taking your time to visit this place--our plays will be set in several musicals." She gestured to the curtains. "Now, may we begin the first musical. The Phantom of the Opera!"

With the opening numbers and special eerie vibes given to the play, people were mesmerized by the music. In a matter of hours, oohs-and-ahhs were heard as Christine's lines of the staple 'Phantom of the Opera' were heard.

".. The phan~ tom of the opera is here... inside my mind~" Aphmau voiced as she stood by the stairs, soon emerging Zane--the Phantom. "Sing once again with me~ our strange duet~!" The audience cheered as he nailed the notes, wondering who the masked figure was. Completely captivating the audience to want more--curious of the rest of the musicals.

A major success, the class had exited the stage--back to their casual attire. They went to the front, seeing that the people were all ready out, going to rest on the seat. "You all seem to be in good spirits." Amelia went down to their area, smiling as the group smiled at her.

"We sure are. This play was a success!" Katelyn and Ein high-fiving as they'd been excited about these things. "Who said everyone is all chirpy? And can you two just kiss or something?!" Laurance jutted a finger to Zenix and Sasha who played Darcy and Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. They'd felt off and shy after the whole play and the rest even told the two to date. "Shut up!" They exclaimed to Laurance, hiding behind Blaze--who was close by.

Amelia slightly shook her head--chuckling at the sight before calling them back to her attention. "Now, we have stuff to talk about. But everyone, let me treat you properly for this occasion." She gestured to the door as everyone collectively cheered, having Alex and Aphmau look for restaurants that can fit all of them.

The class was sitting around in groups of 8 due to the tables only having so much to sit around in. "...and that's about it, thanks." Alex finished ordering for everyone as she returned the menu. The atmosphere was up, everyone chatting or bickering with each other.

Zane was minding his business when Garroth put an arm around his shoulder. "Y'all saw my brother! Bet you didn't expect his amazing voice!" The blond flaunted as Zane was getting secondhand embarrassment, but he heard the others agree. "Not gonna lie, you nailed that Phantom voice dude." Dante smiled, Travis giving a thumbs up. "I'm more impressed by this guy." Gene pointes to Zenix who pushed him away.

"Oh, you did great, Zenix! You even woed Sasha!" "Shut up you damn cat!" Sasha pulled Michi down, covering her mouth with a hand, blushing from the words.

Zenix scratched his nape, ears turning red as he didn't know how to properly react to the teasing--glaring at the person who drew the attention to him. "And you Mr. Horace--had fun with your Princess--" Gene gave a devious-yet-pretentiously harmless smile, his fist curled into a ball, the other hand holding tightly onto the table. "How about take this talk outside, Eugene?" Zenix chuckled as Dante and Aaron had to hold him back from potentially murdering his best friend.

The waiter cut off most chats as they served their dishes, all of them taking no time waiting for everyone else, eating the food. Amelia watched as she sat at the head of the table with the girls. She stood, seeing Ivy clicking her glass cup with a spoon--catching everyone's attention. "Thank you, Ivy--" she took a deep breath as she looked at the faces of her students. "As the play somehow got more people to side with Layla, one of our hidden agendas went well. But now comes our problem." She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Kayden had managed to persuade most nearby schools like Bright Port International School, Meteli: School of Arts, and Pikoro Academy to partake in a large scale exam." Her tone turned serious as everyone grew worried.

Gene furrowed a brow. "What seems to be the problem, Ms. Amelia?" She sighed, grabbing something from her coat pockets. "The entire percentile of the school will be dependent on specific merits. If more than 25% of students fail--it will double and all of the students receiving school aid will be removed." The majority were alarmed. "Then you are saying they'll cut us off!" Rylan was wide eyed as the teacher nodded. "Personally, this is meant to target my class... more than half of you were induced to the drug--and that is because they sponsored your studies here." The group panicked, looking amongst another.

"This is ridiculous!" "Those guys are really wearing me down." Protests came as Amelia seethed with the idea of Kayden and Lilac's plan. She rolled the papers, smacking the table, strong enough to chip the plate it hit.

Her darken gaze and smile made some shivers, chills running down their spines. "Of course, I've taken care of you all this far... I'm not making such a ludicrous exam tear us apart." She looked at Katelyn who immediately stood.

"Ms. Katelyn. I want you and the top five students of our class to create study groups. By next friday--I will conduct a mock exam and if none of you pass 75% of this exam. Consider this plan and everything we've worked for gone. Understood, children?" A sing-song tone made everyone instinctively agree. "Now. I'll wire the payment to the restaurant. I'll have to go now, stay safe." She waved, leaving them to ponder.
