CHAPTER 9

Eljin's POV

4pm, Gymnasium

Our trainer taught us the steps. Damn! It's so hard! Here comes another trainer.

"Dancers, this is Ms. Bobbles. She graduated in Harvard University. She's a former dancer of the 'Happiness Dance Company'. She's a stunt expert and will be in charge of the stunts."

"Alright, girls prepare to fly. I'll be choosing 8 potential flyers." Ms. Bobbles declared. "Now, I need four boys for the base."

She pulled Hurvy, Andrei, Carlo, Reinhardt.

"Here's what we're gonna do..." She instructed the boys.

The flyer to be tested was Franie Princess. She looked nervous, but because she's a man hater. She just pretended that she was kicking a boy.

"She flew perfectly like a butterfly!" Reinhardt's eyes twinkled looking at Franie Princess.

"Okay, you're in!" Ms. Bobbles said.

"What? Me?" She didn't expected it to happen.

"Next."

All of the other girls were tested to. Some failed. Some passed.

"Next. We're down to the last one."

I was the last one.

I followed what everbody did. So, here I go, walking towards the four bases- Andrei, Carlo, Reinhardt, and Hurvy. I took a deep breath and started to count...

"1..2...3...4...5...6...7... Eeiiiiggghhhhhttttt!!!" My left foot was hanging on Carlo's shoulder. My buttocks were about to touch the grass when an arm wrapped my back.

"Be careful, kid." A half-Chinese blooded drummer boy at the back caught me.

"Thank you."

After putting me down, everyone stared at us. I turned bloody red.

"By the way, what's your name?" I asked.

"You already said my name." He winked.

"Huh? What? Thank? You?"

"Yeah, it's Yu."

"It's me?"

"No, I mean Yu, without the 'O'."

"Ooooowww." I nodded.

"No! No more 'O'."

"Ya. No 'O', I get it." My eyes twinkled.

"What are you two doing?" Ms. Bobbles asked.

Then, Carlo began to complain, "Ms. Bobbles! Eljin doesnt know what 'awareness' means. She's too heavy! She's not fit to be a flyer! I can't carry her."

"It's not my fault. You're not just strong enough like Hurvy." I told him.

"Yes. I can see Eljin's potential." Ms. Bobbles said.

"You! Tall guy, what's your name?" she asked.

"Bryant."

"Replace Carlo for a while."

Bryant stood in Carlo's place. And Eljin made the second try.

"On my lead.. 1..2.3.4..5..6..7..8."

"PERFECT! Now that's what you call a flyer! You're in, Danford!"

"I'm in? For real?!? Thank you! Thank you, Ms. B!" I hopped in pleasure.

After the practice

"Hey Bianca! Alexia!" I called them. "Did you see how Denrose looked at me. It's so different."

"We don't care." Alexia replied with a blank face while Bianca just keeps on listening to music.

"Come on, guys! I'm sure you've witnessed it." I cried.

"Yeah, she was looking at you." Alexia replied with the same expression. "Her eyeballs were poked."

"Huh?"

"She's cheesed off, I think." Bianca added.

"But why?"

"Dunno."

I really don't know why Denrose looked at me evilly. Maybe because because I was a better flyer? Or she's insecure of my beauty? I'll just find out. I'll get to know her more.
