project101: The Star

Irene

Today will be my second day at school. I met with Minah and a couple of her friends at the school gate then went up to our classroom on the third floor. When we reached our classroom,  everyone was talking about the selection of the play and who's who.

I am mortified and was hoping I would get the role of a tree, I'm pretty much okay with not standing out and I have stage fright. I am also afraid of public speaking. My character may appear strong or something like that but deep inside I am not.

I listened to Minah talking about her dream to be the lead with Luhan.

"Oh, if Luhan and I would be the leads, I would be very good this whole school year."

One of her friends gave a weird squeak.

"Oh! Oh! I hope there is a kissing scene!! Kyaaaaa!!!"

Then, everyone squealed.

I just smiled at them and went to my seat.

Jeez. I can't stand girls like those. Urgh. I hope class starts already.

The school bell rang and everybody ran back to their seats.

Our lessons proceeded normally but every now and then I hear Minah sighing while stealing glances behind. Luhan was at the back so I am pretty sure she's looking at Luhan.

Our class seat goes like this:

Hara                               Joonil                    Lara                        Pat                     

Hana                             Sehun                    Luhan                   Jena

Seolhyun                   ME                            Minah                    Seokwon

Taeil                              Zico                         Kyung                   Jihoon

Kyungsoo                Seohyun                 Kyuhyun             Jungkook

Suho                          Hyeri                          Chen                      Tao

                                                       TEACHER

So, now that is our permanent seat for the whole school year unless the teacher decided to have some changes.

Lunch came, then homeroom began.

Our teacher, Sir Dongwook, began announcing details on the festival.

"So class, during the teacher's meeting, the teachers have agreed and has confirmed that our section in our year should do a play since others are doing haunted houses, cafes, game booths and others to avoid competition."

He smiled then showed us a box.

"Since the play will be ours, to avoid arguments on voting, I have decided that a representative for the whole class picked one from this box and that would be it. So, who would like to pick?"

He raised is eyebrows and everyone looked at Luhan. I looked too, and wow, he really looks good. He stood up and went in front of the class.

"Everyone, I just want to say that even if I am the official representative of this class means I get to pick on everything. But then, since everyone seems to be pointing at me, I'll be the one to pick it."

He placed his hand inside the box and got a paper.

He unfolded it and his mouth opened as if saying 'ah'.

"Ahh... so, what I have picked is something really good for the class."

He announced.

"W-what is it???" Minah asked excitedly as she jumped up her seat and she realized it herself so she got down embarrassed.

"So class, the play will be, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

"OOOOOOHHHHH" The whole class echoed."

"So, as it was agreed upon yesterday that we will get to pick roles by draw."

Oh no... I hope I get to be a tree... A tree. Just a tree. Or maybe in the costume department. I'm good at that.

"I will write the roles myself and let each one of you pick from the draw."

He began writing on some paper strips and threw them inside an empty box.

After a while he faced the class again.

"So, it's time to pick who's who."

"I will call each of you, alphabetically, based on your surnames."
