A month after the preparation and the end of their first quarterly exams...
The classroom is filled with chatter as students settle into their seats. Cheska and Estelle sit in the back, engaged in a lively conversation. Suddenly, Cherry enters the classroom, a mischievous smile on her face.
They all burst into laughter, enjoying the thrill of sharing secrets and gossip.
As they continue their conversation, the classroom door swings open, and Phoebe walks in, looking surprisingly punctual. The room erupts in cheers and applause.
Phoebe blushes, a mix of embarrassment and amusement on her face.
"I know, right? Miracles do happen! I'm turning over a new leaf."
Cherry turns to Cheska and Estelle, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Hey, Cheska, Estelle, can I just transfer to your section? Maybe your punctuality will rub off on me."
Cheska and Estelle laugh, playfully nudging Cherry.
The three friends share a lighthearted moment, their camaraderie filling the classroom with warmth and laughter.
Cherry's gaze fixed on her watch. Suddenly, realization dawns on her face, and she stops in her tracks, her eyes widening.
"Oh no! I'm late for my own class!"
Cherry nods gratefully, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment.
"Bye guys!! Byeeee!" Cherry left the classroom and ran to her own classroom.
The classroom is filled with excitement as the teacher stands at the front, addressing the students.
"Alright, everyone, listen up! Today, we have a special event happening in the school plaza. It's the annual club fair, where various clubs and organizations will showcase their activities and recruit new members. We're taking a break from regular classes, and I want all of you to head down to the school plaza to explore and learn about the different clubs. It's a great opportunity to discover new interests and get involved in school life. So, gather your things and proceed to the plaza. Enjoy!"
The students cheer and exchange excited glances as they gather their belongings, eager to participate in the club fair.
The school plaza is transformed into a vibrant and active space, with colorful booths set up by different clubs. Music fills the air, and students mill around, exploring the various displays.
Everyone join the crowd, their eyes wide with excitement.
They walk through the plaza, taking in the sights and sounds. Booths range from sports clubs to academic clubs, art and music clubs, and everything in between.
As they move from booth to booth, the friends engage in conversations with club members, asking questions and expressing their interests.
Delaney and Cheska walk side by side towards the school cafeteria. The students chatter fills the room. They find an empty table and settle down with their trays of food.
"Ah, finally, lunchtime. I'm starving!" said Delaney.
"Me too. It's always a relief to take a break from classes and enjoy a good meal."
They eat in comfortable silence for a moment before Cheska finally speaks up, her voice slightly hesitant.
"Delaney, can I talk to you about something? It's been weighing on my mind lately."
"Of course, Cheska. You know you can always talk to me. What's going on?"
Cheska fidgets with her fork, her gaze fixed on her food.
