The Valedictorians

Ready, Set, Go!

After their dinner chat last night, everyone was excited and curious about the O-Week Ceremony. Tho many new very little about it, even Gossip Queen Ashley

Eunice wasn't so keen on going but after some persuasion, she finally caved.

Everyone slept extra well that night in excitement, some less than others. Nevertheless, It was a glorious morning in the Valedictorians mansion with everyone trying to get ready.

The whole ceremony was to start at 9:00am sharp and the dress code was; Sports outfit. Mostly T-shirt and leggings for the girls. Jogging pants or knee length shorts for guys and sweatshirts and pants for everyone

Not only the girls were getting ready even the guys. It wasn't really hard for them. Just shower, pick a shirt and trouser, eat and they're good to go.

Some of the guys even wore bandanas (Edmond, Manolo, Yoshi, James and Beomgyu), some styled their hair (Minghao, Roman, Joshua, Jungwon, Allan) to prevent it from getting in their face while Chris just let his hair do it's own thing. Wonwoo didn't go, he said it'd be a waste and he'd prefer staying at home reading than mingling with all kinds of people

The girls were done on time with their plain outfits ready for what the day has for them when they left the house.

All students were supposed to meet behind the biggest tree in the school. The one Audrey and Jasmine sat on the bench in it's shade. Behind the tree is a great big lawn that extends further but into bushes and a little forest, then has a small flowing river in front of it

When they got there, It was packed. Students were sitting, laying and standing on the lawn doing all sorts of things like chatting, laughing, playing, running, some were even sleeping

Excitement immediately rushed through the younger girls blood as they squealed internally.

"It's crazy" Felicia said
"It's beautiful" Marina said
"It's wonderful" Jasmine said
"It's so damn highly populated" Favour added "I hope none of them talks to me" Eunice said then she and Favour shook hands with an agreeing face

"That's the whole point of these events" Meilin said. "Dueyy" Ashley added

"Com'on it looks like I'd be a good experience to start the year. Let's look at this positively" Olivia cheered.

"What she said!!" KC added and the other girls giggled at Eunice and Favour's pain except Megan

They saw some students taking blankets from the bench under the tree and spreading on the grass to use and they went to take theirs.

With Jasmine at the back, she was grabbed quickly with a hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming into someone's hard chest.

She tried to scream and squirm then she elbowed the person hard in the stomach and the person spoke.

"Owww~ Same reflexes. I taught you well" The person cried out and with only the voice Jasmine stopped squirming with a dead face as she stood still

Then when the person let go, she turned around slowly with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow to see the bafoon in front of her.

"What were you trying to test exactly" Jasmine asked. "If you could still protect yourself and all my classes didn't go in vain" Beomgyu said proudly

"Vain? You thought me to fight like a chicken. That got me NOWHERE" Jasmine deadpanned "That's a little harsh to say to your Sensei" Beomgyu said and Jasmine rolled her eyes before noticing the crowd behind Beomgyu and getting shy

"Hello" She greeted shyly in a low voice and they greeted back.

"Shouldn't it have started by now?" Edmond asked in his beautiful Australian accent
"Last minute preparations maybe?" Jasmine asked
"Maybe.." Minghao said
