Cruel Reality [B1A4 Fanfic]

The Contest

Jay's POV

I knew something was up.
The moment I saw that her whole class was silently staring at her, I knew she got into trouble. Again.

"What's going on with your class?" I asked.
"Nothing. We were just saying our goodbyes to each other." She said warily.

She stayed in her room, as she usually does, when we got home.
I was determined to find out how big of a trouble she was in, so I got up to her room.

Julie's POV

I paced in my room.
My books were safe, to my relief.
But my papers and school materials were all thrown in the trash by.... I don't even wanna say her name.

I took out all my things from my bag and counted my notebooks.
Oh no.
My Physics notebook was nowhere.
No. Please no.
I tried looking for it in my room incase I just left it at home but I couldn't find it.
It was the one notebook I can't study without. All those formulas...
"Looking for something?"
I jumped.
"What the f-- Jay! You scared me!"
"What are you doing here?" I asked putting my things back in my bag.
"What were you looking for?" Jay asked.
"Nothing." I laughed nervously.
"What is it this time?" He asked already catching up of what's happening.
I told him everything.

"Stupid." He flicked my forehead.
"I couldn't resist not talking back! They were so annoying." I said rubbing my forehead.
"I'll tell mom. We'll buy things next weekend when she gets her pay." He said and swiftly went out of my room.
I pouted. That still won't get my physics notebook back.
I just opened my skype and called Chloe.

"Hey." Chris answered.
"Where's Chloe?" I asked.
"Editing my video." She beamed.
When she asked me which song I chose I immediately said 'She's Back' would be okay. It was the only song I remembered anyway.
"You've already done your parts?" I incredulously asked.
"Of course! Did you practice? Woohyun's high notes are hard." She said.
"Why do I get the high notes again? I didn't even want to participate in this." I said massaging my temples.
"Because I can't reach high notes, duh." She rolled her eyes at me as Chloe came into view.
"Have you filmed your vid, Jules? Send it to me quickly. I need yours to easily edit Chris' parts." Chloe said sitting next to Chris.
"No. I haven't even memorized which parts are mine."
"You have to dance it too."
"What?! Why do I have to do that? Can't you just do it yourself?" I asked.
"I already did. You have to dance and sing at the same time. Now go and practice. Send it to me by next week, okay? And the rap parts are yours, by the way. You know I can't rap. Love you Jules." Chris hurriedly said as her mom shouted at them in the background and hung up.
I sighed.

***
I sneezed as I sat down.
It has been raining hard since Monday night and this Thursday, the weather wasn't any better.
I left my open umbrella at the back of the room as everyone else did and sneezed again.
I groaned inwardly. I can't catch a cold now, I got to film my cover video after class.
The bell rang and class started.

At lunch time, while I was eating I noticed 3 people walking up to me.
I groaned again. What is it I did this time?

Daphne's POV

Ashley, Carl and I walked up to where Julie was eating and sat beside her.
"Hey." I greeted her.
She just looked up and sighed.
"What is it this time?" She asked.
"Um.. I just want to thankyou for saving me last week." Ashley smiled at her.
"If it wasn't for you, they wouldn't have stopped at just tickling me." She added.
Her face was blank. She seems to not remember it.
"What are y-- Oh! You're talking about... nevermind, it's okay, you're welcome. You need anything else?" She ranted.
"Um, can't we eat with you?" I asked.
"Suit yourself." She said and sneezed lightly. I noticed that her nose was pink and she looked pale. Well, paler than her usual pale skintone.
She can't be sick again, is she?
