Chapter 7: Two Times

Rae's POV

I woke up early and took a bath. I spent twenty minutes in fixing myself. Today is Intramurals! I can't wait to read many books today.... No class, no classmates, and no teachers! What a perfect day to read and sleep. After fixing myself, we ate our breakfast. Thea, Kathtlyn, Cassidy and Tina already woke up so we ate breakfast together.

"Hey guys! Today is Intramurals!" Kathylyn suddenly said. "Yeah! So many good looking boys! I hate that Dark Hell. Psh." Cassidy replied. "*nods* Yeah. I never thought that Heaven is a gangster. Anyway, OMG!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to find another boys!!!" Tina commented. She suddenly change her mood when she doesn't like the topic just like Heaven's earlier.

"Lizah, aren't you excited?" Cassidy said in a question tone. XD "Yeah. I'm excited to sit in the library and read." I told them. "KJ!" The three shouted in chorus. Yeah yeah. "I know.... Just eat there so that we can go to school now." I said and go upstairs to get my things. Books, costume and extra t-shirts.... I went down and got inside the car. When they finished eating, they also got inside the car and drove to school.

I hurriedly went to the tent of the Dance Troupe. Thank God I wasn't late. We're gonna perform for the intermission number. I changed into our clothes and practiced once more. I turned my expression into cold and blank one. "Guys! Ready in ten minutes! We're the next one." Yuri, the leader, said. "Gosh! I'm so nervous!" Micah suddenly said. "Yeah same." Ann agreed.

"Let's welcome, the Black Diamond!!!!"

We went to the stage and positioned ourselves. The music started and the applause also started.

We danced like no one's around. While dancing, I can't help but to smile. I really love dancing. I cannot live without it. When I smiled, the crowd shouted, "We Love You Allizah Smith!" ..... I can't help but to feel great. I smiled more when I recovered in shock. I was looking at the crowd and suddenly my heartbeat is so fast. I felt like the world stopped revolving and we're the only person in the field. We're looking at each others eyes but my eyes remained blank. Finally, the intermission is done. "Around of applause for the Black Diamond! They will be attending the International Dance Competition in Korea next week right?" We nodded... "Good luck Girls! Once again, Black Diamond!" We thank the emcee and the crowd and went to the tent. They're starting the games now.

"Okay listen guys. At 3pm, we're gonna practice two new songs for the contest mkay?" Yuri said and we nodded as response. "We're excuse to the Intramural since the contest is coming. The school wanted to win so they will give us time to prepare... Let's not disappoint the school okay? We should win this." Micah added. After the meeting, we went to our practice room and rested. I texted Thea and the three that I am with the group. They know where they should find me because it is my usual text. I got my earphones and listened to a random music.

From: Thea "루비"

Liz! Basketball na! Basketball Court at 5 mins.

Adik din oh. Malamang sa basketball court talaga maglalaro. Alangan naman sa volleyball court. Anyway, "Guys, I'll just watch a game. Thea texted me." I said to them. They won't mind anyway because they don't like me. It's because lahat ng attention nasa akin. Attention seeker daw kumbaga. Psh. Girls and their insecurities. I went to the court at halos lahat ng bleachers ay occupied. So I texted Thea.

To: Thea "루비"

Hey. Where are you? I am here at the center of the bleachers, standing and waiting (charot)... I am wearing a denim shorts (which is really short) and a black tube top.
