-The next day-

It was Monday and Chris’ gonna have Visual Art first.

RINGGG!!!

The bell rung and all of the students came inside the classroom. “Good morning class, for today’s visual art, you will be in pairs for a project. According to your seatmates. No complains.”

Everyone quickly paired up. Once again, Zelo’s with Chris.

“So today, you will draw your seatmate in caricature. Please take the complete utensils in front and try your best to make it similar. The top 3 will be framed and hung in the school gallery. Chop chop! Now go!” the teacher ordered.

So teacher-ish…’ Chris thought as she took the drawing utensils. “So Zelo, who will draw first?”

“I’ll draw you first.” Zelo was already ready with his utensils and drawing book. Chris just posed with a poker face. Zelo complained about her pose, “Yah, at least you smile or my drawing would be rubbish.” Chris had no choice but to smile. Zelo brightened up after seeing Chris’ smile. It’s so rare for her to smile that sweet.

Awhh why is she so sweet?!’ he thought but knocked his own head, ‘Argh I hate you brain. What are you thinking.’ He continued drawing Chris. He finished in 12 minutes. When he was done, Chris grabbed it away from him and said, “Let me see!”

“Hey! It’s n-not too go-good ya know! I drew your nose too high and one of your eyes is bigger than the other one!” But Chris was satisfied and amazed with his drawing. “Hey, this is nice, bro.” surprisingly she gave thumbs up and another smile flashed on her face.

“Ah.. Gomawo chingu” Zelo blushed away. “Okay, it’s your turn to draw me.” Zelo dragged a chair, sat and smiled. Chris drew him seriously and in 10 minutes, she was done. “Lemme see!” Zelo looked at the paper. “OMG! Chris! It’s so nice! I had no idea that you were this good in art.” Chris smirked.

“Okay, now class, please quietly and quickly pass your drawings to the front, even if you are done or not!” the teacher suddenly said.

The whole class passed their drawings to the teacher and the teacher examined and graded each of them carefully. Zelo’s heart beats fast. ‘Not me please! Not me!’ “Okay, class. I have ranked the 3rd, 2nd and 1st drawing. For the 3rd place, we have Hyosung!” The class clapped. Zelo was relieved.

“For the 2nd place, we have-“ Zelo’s heart beat faster. ‘Oh please God! Not meeeee! It’s baadd!!!’“Zelo!” the teacher announced. ‘BAH! Why me! Whatever!’ Zelo thought. The class clapped for him. “And for the first place with a very precise and perfect drawing, we have the one and only… Chris!”  The class clapped. “Yea! Go Chris!’ Zelo thought.

“Congratulations to all the winners! Your work will be hung at lunchtime for everyone to admire. Okay! Class dismissed!” and the teacher left. The rest of the school went great and since the teacher gave them economics homework, Hyosung suggested that the 4 of them should go to Chris’ house to do it. They all agreed. After school, Chris told Zelo that her 3 friends were going to her house to do homework so they would be busy. ”Okay then. Bye.” Zelo waved to Chris.

“Bye.” Chris waved back as she steeped into the limo with her 3 best friends and L.Joe.

--------------------

When they arrived at Chris’ mansion, the 4 girls separated from L.Joe.

Chris pushed her bedroom door open and threw her backpack on the floor. She rummaged through her bag, looking for her economics homework. Her 3 best friends stared at her.

“Oh, sorry. I forgot. Just put your bags at the corner and take out the homework then sit there.” Chris said. So they did what they were told to do and soon, all of them were lying down on the carpet while discussing their homework.

“Hey, you guys. I’m done writing our answers. Are you done?” Chris asked.

“Of course not! You write too fast, Chris!” Hyosung said.

“Oh.” Chris replied, giving her an –OH- face. Since Chris was bored waiting for her friends to finish, she suddenly thought of a topic.

“Hey, you guys, do you know that I am now officially best friends with Zelo?”

“What did you just say?” Sunhwa threw her homework aside and stared at Chris like as if Chris was an alien. But, she didn’t notice that her homework book reflected to the wall and fell into the rubbish bin.

“I said that I am now officially best friends with Zelo.”

“OMG!” Sulli suddenly shouted.

“What?” Chris asked, confused.

“It’s REALLY rare to be best friends with a kingka, ya know.” Hyosung explained.

“Oh.” I just simply said and again, gave them an –OH- face. “It’s just normal for me.”

“Not for us!” they suddenly shouted in unison.

“OKAY. CHILL.” I calmed them down.

“Wait, and who is the one who wanted to be official best friends?” Sulli asked.

“Zelo.”

“WWHHHAATTTTT???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” They all screamed.

“I said Zelo. And please don’t scream like that, it might break the glass windows.” I said.

The 3 friends then soon returned to normal and continued their homework.

“Wait. Where’s my homework??????” Sunhwa suddenly said.

The 4 girls then looked around the room.

“OMG!!! Sunhwa! Is this your homework?!” Hyosung shouted as she pointed to trash in the rubbish bin.

The 4 girls crowded around the rubbish bin.

“Hey! THAT’S MY HOMEWORK!” Sunhwa panicked and screamed. “Now I’ve wasted my time, energy, my pencil lead, my eraser, my time, my book, my-“

“Chill dude. It’s not like your books were stolen by a group of aliens and brought to Mars.” Chris calmed her down. “I’ll get it for you.” Chris dug her hand into the rubbish bin and pulled out Sunhwa’s homework book.

“IEWH, Chris! Just throw it! It’s folded and dirty already, anyway!” Sunhwa said.

“You call this dirty? How about this…” Chris went to the corner of the room and took out a pet frog from its container. “Say hello to my new pet Froggy! I started to take care of frogs since the frog experiment at school! Adorable, isn’t he?” The 3 girls froze and stared at the frog.

“What’s wrong, guys? I know It’s dirtier than what I did before but it’s cute and lovely, isn’t it?”

The 3 girls shook their heads in unison, giving a –HELL NO- look.

“OK, OK. I’ll put it back.” She put Froggy back into his container. “So, where were we?”

“Sunhwa’s homework accidentally got thrown in the rubbish bin.” Sulli said.

“Yeah, right.” Chris said. “What should we do with it now?”

“It’s alright. Just leave it. I will explain to Mr.Teacher-ish dude tomorrow.” Sunhwa sighed.
