Chapter 23: It's going to be a rough journey

John's POV
"Thank you and goodbye Mrs Raine," we chorused and I dropped my school bag. Taking my track pants, Ethan and I squished into the boys' toilet and got into a changing room. Our lessons ended at 2.30 and we had practice at 2.40 and today it was in the music room. Call that cramming at the best. And when we got out, we got a text message from Daphne saying:

So sorry! All the cubicles in the ladies are taken. I'm on the first floor and the twins are changing on the second floor. Meet you in 10! ^^'

"Let's run," Ethan declared and pulled my hand. He ran faster than bolt did, not caring if our pants ripped. I could feel the wind beat me up at that moment.
Daphne's POV
Music room
"Daphne, you're a few beats behind the rest," Mr Lee boomed, before getting up to show the moves. "It's 1, hop, 2, hop, 3-and-4, hop and change the leg. Now it's 1, hop, 3, hop, 4, change the leg, 5, hop. Timing matters."

"Less energy, Chloe! Pick up the energy, John!"

"Ethan, treat this like the real thing! Look at the front and smile!"

The next two hours was going through the movements of the verses, but we spent more time refining our steps rather than learning the steps. I didn't think Mr Lee was that picky a dancer, and he had a thing for skimming even advanced dancers alive. Practice eventually ended, and Mr Lee clapped his hands once.

"Alright people, you know what your strengths and weaknesses are. Film yourself and check the movements. Practice for even 10 minutes every day, and I'll see on Thursday!"

Crystal: so sorry guys I can't make it to our voice call tonight. I'm officially under the KCPGT auditions and I need to practice a LOT

Samantha: don't worry we understand! All the best!!
Offline world
I turned on my music and started to practice my A Math sums. The road ahead was going to be tough. I was not only going to manage my studies, but also my extracurricular activities. I was basically the base of the CCA with Fiona Chan. If either one of us faltered, it's game over for the whole CCA.

But at least I have an assistant. We would be able to coordinate the patrol activities together and make sure the patrol leaders were planning badge-related activities based on our recommendation.
Chloe's POV
Chloe's room
"I think it was Player 7 that was the impostor!" I declared. "Player 7 was walking around the whole area not doing anything!" All of a sudden, I heard some knocks of the door.

"Chloe, make sure you practice your moves and study before you think about doing anything else!" My father bellowed through the hole of the door. I groaned and left the WePlay game I was enjoying so much. Making space for my dance, I started to copy the moves right from the video, and did that 10 times to show my parents I was practicing my moves. I've always been under strict scrutiny, so now I need to do my best to show my parents I deserve honour too! But then again, I can't play with online friends and draw as much as I used to. I need to find a way to make it all work!
Ethan's POV
Outside the staff room
"You wouldn't be able to do KCPGT support?" My student council teacher admitted with sorrow. "That's too bad, but I respect your decision in being a part of the real thing. All the best." He then left.

I joined Kallang Christian for leadership, but this time to do something different and help Chloe, I had to give up my duties. It was my final chance to do everything and if there was something I wanted to do this year, I had to do it this year. Next year is just hitting the books all the way. And for that to happen, giving up my true passion is a must for the once in a lifetime opportunities.
