Chapter 20:The Meeting in the Toilet

1 Sept
Dear Diary
They were extremely shocked! When i went to find them during lunch (i had asked them to) on Monday, the moment Xuan saw me she shot up from her seat and nearly overturned Remmy. "Is this true?" she demanded. "Have you been asked to...to kick us out of Band?" I nodded with my head facing the ground, unable to look at them. For a moment i felt like i was the student and they were the upset disappointed teachers. Rathi, Diya and Jo gave a very big disappointed sigh while Yokie just looked around at all of us, with her head moving jerkily like a wind-up toy. "What? Really? This-this can't be! We can't be kicked out of Band!" She started to get emotional and her eyes reddened. Xuan, who is known to be very sensitive to crying as well, was shaking and tearing uncontrollably. "Why?" said Jo, looking at me sadly. Jian hadn't even bothered to come. "Guys," i said,my voice shaking as i tried not to shed tears, "Guys, i'm really sorry. But i don't know how Ed Eew got the picture. I'm at a loss too. But," and i took a deep breath, "i want y'all to know i would never EVER betray you. I would get kicked out of the school if it meant you guys can continue Band."
"I know that B-Band means a-a lot to you guys," i said. I could feel hot tears flowing of my eyes. "And as a teacher, i'm-i'm never going to deprive you of this joy. Not for my...my selfish wants." I couldn't continue. I ran to the staff toilet near the studio and sobbed my heart out in the cubicle. I couldn't believe how things were turning out. Suddenly, a worried voice spoke. "M-MiLoh Choong Chai? What's going on,friend?" It was my Stony Bff. I sniffed and blew my nose on some toilet paper. "Nothing." "Don't give me that! Something's obviously been happening!"he replied,sounding more worried. "The Band Gang's outside. They told me you ran away crying so i came in here on behalf of them." I tried to control myself but ended up sobbing even harder.
"Choong Chai,dude,"said my Stony Bff gently. "Could you get out of that cubicle? Hearing you cry makes me sad." I reluctantly unlocked the door and stepped outside,and choked with shock. The Band Gang was in the toilet!!! The GUYS' toilet!!!!!! "What?!?! What are y'all-"i spluttered. "Hush up unless you want us to be discovered by Ed Eew."hissed Jo. All of us ran into the handicap cubicle. It stank like Ed Eew himself. "What's going on?"asked my Stony Bff. "Basically,MiLoh got himself a girlfriend,which is the clarinet tutor."explained Yokie. "But Ed Eew found out and is threatening MiLoh that he's gotta kick us out of Band or he'll get MiLoh kicked out of school." My Stony Bff gasped. "That's madness!"he whispered. "What are you gonna do,Choong Chai?" I shrugged. "And Clarice doesn't know about this. She's gonna be devastated if she finds out."i added gloomily. My Stony Bff was completely flabbergasted. He actually stood there for about 5 minutes with his haw open like a fish before things actually registered in there. "T...Tell someone then,"he stammered wildly. "T-Tell the VP,the Principal,D..Dave even,anyone!" I shook my head frantically. "They are going to kick me out of the school themselves if they find out!"i said. "But i can't do this to them! Not after all they've done for me."
We stood there thinking for a long time. Suddenly,Rathi had a lightbulb moment. "Since Ed Eew is my FM,"she said,"some of us can spy on him! I'm sure he's doing this for a reason." My Stony Bff's eyes lit up. "Heeey that's not a bad idea at all!"he said. "And i can help y'all spy on Ed Eew too,since i have the advantage of being a teacher!" The Band Gang rolled their eyes. "Great!"i said. "I'll spy on him too!" "No you don't."said Yang. "Ed Eew will suspect something if you spy on him. YOU,you will pretend to kick us out of Band." "What?!"i said in disbelief. "So,"said Yang slowly,"you will pretend to make us sound horrible so that Ed Eew thinks his plan is working. Then when he puts his plans into action,we catch him redhanded."
"Hey,that's a great idea!"said Jo,smiling brightly. But i was still sort of worried. "But won't that be risky?"i said worriedly. "I mean,what if the plan doesn't work out,and i really do end up kicking y'all out of Band?" Xuan shrugged. "If that really happens then happen loh. Even if we do-"she paused,as if she was going to say a swear word."quit Band,it won't kill us. We'll just find....something else to do,i guess," There was a tone of sadness,but i could see that the Band Gang was ready. "Ok,"i said readily,"What do i do?" "YOU go on ahead and tell Ed Eew that you will go ahead with his plan."said Rathi. "Yang and Yokie will spy on Bella."
