Ethan's POV
"I'm glad all of us are getting better, together," I admitted. "We've got so much more unity now. And I'm happy for Nicole, she got the Japan trip."
"That's nice!" John admitted. "And she has an interview at the end of the week."
"There's an interview?"
"Yes. So do you think you got China?"
"I don't know. I went to ask Mrs Nur over the holidays and she said "sometime this week."" And I decided to tell my parents I was going home with friends and I saw a mysterious number. 67777999?!
"Ethan, that's Mrs Nur's number! You got in!" Crystal announced. Realisation hit me and I grabbed her hand, jumping up and down like two energetic bunnies. "And we can even wear our ties to the interview. It's the same day as our Student Leader Investiture!" I changed walking positions with Chloe as we discussed about all the fun things we would do when we went to China together.
Chloe's POV
I clenched my teeth. Ethan was my man. How did it become Crystal's? Ever since we formed 8 point compass, Crystal and Ethan have become close again. In fact, I can tell Ethan doesn't want me; he just has to be with me because we're four year classmates. He wants Crystal.
Smacking his head, both him and Crystal glared at me.

Ethan: what was that for?!
Chloe: what does Crystal have that I don't? She gets to go to China with you and Nicole gets Japan. I love Japan more than anything, I deserve Japan!
Ethan: even then, you can't just smack us for nothing.
Chloe: oh yes, I can! I'm going to make sure I retain in Sec 3 for as many times as I need to until I get to go overseas!
Crystal: that's not going to solve your problem! The age limit for registering for O Levels is 18, so at some point you have to promote to Sec 4! And you're not going to be happy and rejoice "finally I can go for my Japan trip!" NO!! You're going to be freaking out over a problem you can't solve! I'm serious!
Crystal's POV
Flashback
Happens before the start of prologue
While waiting for Mrs Teo to come out and give the news, a girl went to the staff room and when she saw a teacher, she immediately started begging for marks. Claiming she had passed Social Studies but failed history, I saw how hard she was trying to stay composed but yet it was all futile. I could feel her doom coming and that was when I knew my Sec 3 goal was not to retain.
I don't get why Chloe didn't see that scene.
Present day
John: Oh, Anika got an invite to Germany!
Crystal: I'm going to send her my well wishes right now!
Ethan: me too! OW!
Chloe: fuck you! Fuck her! Fuck Kallang Christian! (Proceeds to point the middle finger and runs off to pick her phone up)
Daphne: that girl has some growing up to do...I'll try my best to meditate this, but I can't guarantee anything. If she messes up our team dynamics to the point we don't get into KCPGT finals, it's on her.
