Ethan's POV
"Crystal Ong...Crystal Ong...Crystal Ong!" John mumbled under his breath, before letting out a scream.
"We're the first performance of the group finals!" Crystal exclaimed. All of us enveloped one another warmly as we enjoyed a moment of pure bliss, thinking about how our stardom dreams have finally come true. Jennifer then walked by and clapped for us, which surprised us, before her neutral expression turned to an evil smirk.
"What is THE FAITHS doing here? Like why is Chloe in the lineup?" She asked cynically. "Chloe doesn't have a chance in anything, y'know. You heard what Ningguang said when Chloe got back her A Math results, right? She deserves nothing."
"That's not true!" Crystal was the first to snap. "She's just trying to exploit your status as student council president. She thinks you're friends with everyone!"
"You know we're in this fight for popularity together right? We're influencers, so we should be fighting to be keeping that label! I'll give you something to make you keep that name!" She flung her hand and sashayed out of my field of vision.
Crystal's POV
When I finished my girl guide activities, I realised Jennifer added me into some group chat. The header of the group chat read: The Chloe Gossip Chat.
The Chloe Gossip Chat
Crystal was added
John was added
YZ was added
Lucas was added
Anika was added
Daphne was added
Ethan was added
Nicole was added
Keqing: woohoo! An influx of new members
YZ: omg what do you want from us?
Jennifer: I'm expanding this community of Chloe gossipers! Xingqiu, remember I helped you and your class cope with Chloe's shenanigans with this chat in our first year? I'm so glad we got so many fans now
Crystal: I'm your fan but not of this project. Now kick me out.
Jennifer: I can't. You guys are suffering under Chloe's shenanigans. I need to get you out of this fix.
Ethan: even then we can just think positively right?
Nicole: right?! It solves EVERYTHING in the world
Jennifer: *Ojamajo Doremi gif*
Now I have made you guys pros at gossiping. You guys are supposed to gossip about Chloe and think of ways we can compare her if you guys wanna stay here. Especially you, Crystal
YZ: I got one! Chloe is stupid because she failed A Math. Like we're talking about 9/30 omg!!
Shenhe: you actually listened to our comparisons! Wow, I'm super impressed!
YZ's POV
I wasn't too sure about taking part in this gossip game at first, but Keqing and her gang made the game fun to play. We would sometimes recall all of Chloe's embarrassing moments and laugh out loud at them. Sometimes, we would go on voice call to discuss how else we wanted to compare Crystal with Chloe. I never had this much fun before! I know we're going to have a lot of fun playing this comparison game and make new friends in the process. Of course, Anika and I are going to find a way to hide this secret from Chloe, but 8-point-compass is doing excellent so far and we can navigate any challenge we encounter together!
