Tia's POV

"Calla?"

The green-eyed girl turned around and managed a shocked face, and then continued by a smile. "Tia! What are you doing here?" Running for me with her open arms.

"I should be asking you that," Tia giggled at her friend. When we pulled apart I realized that every pair of eyes are on them. Calla mumbled as she grinned at everyone, "Yeah, this is awkward."

She took a step back and went straight back to her partner; which I don't know his name yet his face looks familiar.

"Sorry for the drama guys, got caught up in a short reunion." She said as she smiled. And lastly we all took a step towards our partners, Thomas gave me a look that says 'what was that' and I only gave him a shrug, I'll tell him later.

The guy next to Calla smiled as he introduced himself. "Hi, my name is Nat Wolff and this is my partner, Calla Lily"

"Call me Calla."

After our introductions, we all had smiles painted on our faces since we already know half of the competitors. We continued to chat a bit and soon we realized that it's about time to have dinner.

"What room did you get, Calla?" Vee asked her.

"I suppose it was 1822,"

"Ooh! That's ours!" Diana pointed to herself and to Vee, "Looks like we're getting the biggest room then!"

We all had a great time in the lounge and we took our coats and prepared ourselves to leave, since the dinner was supposed to be in another place.

The girls get their own limousine since the management doesn't want us to be revealed with the boys yet. We talked and talked and talked endlessly, not running out of topics to talk about.

When we arrived it seems to be a five star restaurant, I looked up and gulped rather loudly. The building was very tall and I believed celebrities come here from time to time.

Maybe every time.

"I didn't know that we would be having dinner in a fine restaurant like this, I should've dressed properly." Calla stated as she stood besides me, readjusting her handbag.

I looked at her one more time; she was wearing nice clothes I could say so myself, she looks more fancy than me. Bloody, they all look fancier than me.

"You look fine, dear." Diana reassured her, by putting her hands on her shoulders.

"Yeah, let's not worry about our clothes and just celebrate!" Vee squealed, she literally ran towards the door, "Come on guys! We're going to meet the others!"

I chuckled; she was just like a younger sister for me, maybe for all of us. I looked back and noticed that the limousine had already departed, and I also noticed that there were a few people holding cameras and giant flashes on them. Of course, ignoring us, since they all thought we're all just rich people spending money on food.

"What are those guys doing?" I whispered to whoever was beside me.

"Those are paparazzi," It was Arabella.

I turned to her with a confused face, what are they doing here?

She seemed to notice my confusion and she threw her fingers through her hair, and with the same monotonous face. "I presume they would be here for the guys, somebody must have told the media that they were going to be here,"
