My First Love Stories

Chapter 5 Initiation

I couldn't believe Eric runs the club. How does a very smart and handsome guy have his right side of the brain work at the same time? He must be very talented.

Fifteen minutes passed after we answered the profile sheet. Jei introduced Ms. Ruby as our adviser. She is 5' flat and short-haired. She was also our speech communication instructor.

I admire her for being so cheerful and an exciting mentor. She's one of the people who I look up to and motivates me to study harder while enjoying my college life.

At last, Eric stood up and welcomed us.

"Thank you all for coming on our orientation day" he said as he wore his usual smile.

"As you know not all recruits will become members, you'll need to go through series of workshops and training". Now he's serious.

"For the final task... your initiation" he smirked like a devil.

What?!

I thought it's prohibited in this school. My parents wouldn't let me join any club if there's initiation or anything like it.

Before everybody could raise their violent reactions, Eric "ssshhhd" them.

"Wait, I'm not done yet, your initiation will be your own PLAY" he grinned as he talked.

Everybody in chorus said:

"Ahhh!" then everyone bursted into laughter.

"We chose Bob as the director since his profile says he has experience in directing and he will be the one to supervise you from casting, choosing the production staff, etc. but of course, we are still here to help you and support all your needs"

As I've told Jei I'll be volunteering on making the props and production design. So we all sat there in a circle while Bob chose our assignments.

"I've read the script and I'll choose the actors first based on their description" Bob showed the pieces of paper he held with marks and highlights.

One by one he picked a member for each character, described the traits and gave some information.

"So basically, the play has five main characters and each with different experiences and secrets to reveal" While he made a run through of the story's plot, he looked around and studied our faces and appearances.

"Jeffrey, you'll be Boni, the youngest among the group, who holds a secret ever since you were a little boy" he pointed at a short guy with long hair on his left,

"Dan, you'll be Primo, a mysterious guitarist with an unrequited love towards Riela" he referred to a buffy 6-foot guy with a bad a$$ look and gorgeous face.

"Jam, you'll be Soria, their instructor, tough outside but has a lot of regrets in life" a slightly smaller girl with curly hair and a nice body on my right.

"Alex, you'll be Ron, Riela's best friend, he secretly admires Soria" he tapped the tall skinny guy with a long face and pointed nose,

"And Zasha, you'll be Riela, a boyish gal with this long time crush on your best friend, Ron" he stared straight at me with a serious face which meant that he wasn't kidding.

"Huh? Me? Why?" I frowned like I was begging for help.

I couldn't call Jei because he left earlier to have their officers' meeting.

This is not happening.
