I2L2A [COMPLETED]

Chapter 5: "IN2L2A"

"Is it really the end? Is it finally over?", Jian asked as he is making 3D Origami pieces.

"Nope, you still got 200 pieces to gooo haha.", Miller replied.

They we're currently given the time to make the pieces for their project but they also have another problem to worry about... the Dance. They have 2 main groups which are assigned to sing a specific song and dance to another song. Jian and Miller got assigned to the Dance group together with Pretzel. A few weeks before he they even began the idea of the Group Performance Task. Yes, you heard it right. A P.T. It holds the biggest chunk of grade you can ever get. And he's desperate to make it worth the grade. He saw a vision, he was dancing with Pretzel, holding hands and such. It was just a 2-second vision that he thinks that it would come true. They were practicing the normal tribal moves for the song, changed it and turned it into a Cha-Cha dance. Since Jian had no idea on how to dance the Cha-Cha, he researched it and with the help of his classmates, he engaged on this unrealistic dance (That was what Jian thought about the dance). Confusing at first because the movement in the video was very fast, then later on he caught up and mastered it well. New updates on the dance, they're gonna add Modern Dance elements into the Dance. It was very frustrating for him knowing that he's going to dance Pretzel's old dance routine in 9th Grade. It wasn't that hard but he was busy managing the moves he had memorized in his head.

Practice Day arrived together with the UN Parade. Since they already finished with the preparation for the costumes, props and designs plus the Bulletin Board, they were good to go practice the Dance. Jian brought his tablet to help Miller study the dance moves at school.

"Here, watch the vid bro. Its very easy to master.", Jian said.

"Damn bruh, this foot goes there and then... what?", Miller replied.

"Its like this, 1, 2, 3, Cha-Cha 1, 2, 3, Cha-Cha 1, 2, 3, Cha-Cha 1, 2, 3.".

"Mannn, this shiz is hard. How many hours did it take for you to memorize it?".

"Uhh.... 1 hour? That's the Cha-Cha and the Modern Dance videos as well."

As if on cue, Pretzel together with Kathryn entered the room. Jian had the video of both Pretzel and Kathryn dancing on stage so he clicked the video and showed it to them.

"Hey Pretzel, I never knew you danced like this last year.", Jian said.

"Nooo, don't watch meee. It was embarassing at that time haha.", Pretzel replied.

Kathryn proceeded to tease Pretzel, "Yieee, Jian's got the video of youuu.".

Jian just glared at Kathryn with no emotions. Pretzel on the other hand had red color all over her face (was she blushing?). The teacher arrive so he had to hide his tablet because he doesn't have a permit for that thing. He carried on to build his Origami figure, some sort of a pen/coin holder. Pretzel on the other hand hasn't even started to fold her pieces. Jian wanted to help her but he knew that Chris can help her so he just left her to be alone.

Mapeh arrived and it was time to dance. They had a small time to practice first. The plan was cut into separate parts, first was the tribal dance, second was the song, third was the tribal dance chorus, fourth was the song chorus, fifth was the modern dance bridge and chorus, and the last would be the song bridge and chorus as well. They were performing so well, but there was only one problem... the partnerings were established. Jian had no partner so he got paired up with their leader. The genius was very clever, she remembered what happened to Jian and Pretzel, so they partnered them both. Jian felt like his heart was stabbed by another dagger. He already moved on but she keeps on popping into his mind. He got used to being with her that he felt empty without her now. He's really trying to forget her, she was everything to him and now she's with someone else. Jian thought, "You were never appreciated for what you've done. She didn't even remembered your efforts. Deal with it! Move on! There will come a time when you'll meet the right one, focus on your studies now!". Pretzel avoided Jian's hands whenever he tried to dance the part.
