Dear Diary
Today's the day. It's gonna be mighty tragic. I told Ms Madeline,the Maths teacher if 2C3,that i wasn't going there to day for Maths,much to her surprise. She said she couldn't stand the class any longer by herself and needed me there to calm everyone down with my hotness.
I went to class reluctantly. Jo was acting normal with her bunch of friends and playing with this Muggle contraption they call a fidget spinner. (Or is it spidget finner?) Jian,for once,was sleeping on her desk. Usually she would be doing her homework with knitted brows.
Xuan was at the back joking with her table partner as usual. I thought they were all better and went to check on them. To my greatest horror,even though Xuan was laughing,her nose was runny,and her eyes were red and puffy. Jo had the same problem.
This may not seem scary to you,but it was to me. This told me that even though they looked like they were ok from the outside,they weren't actually ok. They were hurting on the inside,screaming in agony,perhaps. I got really creeped out just thinking about it. I really shouldn't think so negatively,it's bad.
Anyways,i woke Jian up and asked her to go outside. She trudged outside grudgingly,and kept glaring at me. You know how scary she looks when she glares at you? Gee whiz it was really frightening.
"What do you want?"she said soft enough for no one to hear,but loud enough for my ears only. She sounded angry,frustrated and grumpy. "Uuh,is...is Jo and Xuan alright?"i said shakily,knowing what was coming.
She shot a look of pure venom at me and i shuddered. "Alright? Alright? Do they look alright to you?!?!"she fumed,smoke pouring out of her ears. "For your information,they have been up all night! In fact,NONE of them could sleep last night,and neither could i because i was trying to comfort them!! Sorry to burst your bubble MiLoh,but you gotta ask questions that don't already state the obvious!"
I was really stunned by her outburst. Jian really was angry. I told her to go back inside,and she gave me at least a 1% apologetic look for blowing up like that before storming back in. Jo was dozing off in her seat,and could barely keep her eyes open during the lesson as she tried to copy figures off the board. Xuan,it seemed,had completely given up,and draped herself on her books and was sleeping silently. I purposely went to the back to make sure Ms Madeline didn't see her or Jo sleeping.
After the lesson,i went to the canteen with my Stony Bff. He hadn't been eating cup noodles in his underwear while watching TV last night apparently. He was worried about the Band Gang too and had called them to make sure they were ok. "They told me that they were fine and that i should check on Huay Huay (his nickname for her)instead. I see why now."he remarked. As we reached the canteen,we saw Ed Eew sitting by himself besides some chatty girls,eating all by himself. Rathi,Xuan and Jo were sitting together. Only Xuan was eating. Trust that girl to think of food in a situation like this.
Then it hit me,why Ed Eew wanted all this stuff to happen in the first place. He didn't have any friends. I'm not trying to make fun of him. He's always so cold towards everyone,and the way he carries himself doesn't make it any better. I'm not trying to be vain here,but if you put me and Ed Eew and me side by side,ANY idiot would choose me. (Dang it i sound narcissistic please pardon me.) Ed Eew sometimes looks like he doesn't brush his teeth,and he's always pulling up his pants. The first time i did that in Secondary School my mom slapped me silly and told me to wear a belt. I looked mighty funny for the next few days but everyone started wearing them so meh.
Ed Eew doesn't display any form of friendship as well. Even my Stony Bff is more caring than him,and that's saying something. Ed Eew only thinks of himself,you know? That's why Xuan complained so much about him making her run all the way up to class just to put the DnT files and she had tuition. He doesn't put anyone's interests at heart. I guess that's what makes us different,besides me being a young,hot and sexy dude that everyone loves. (I'm sorry i sound so vain.)

The day passed by really slowly and finally,it was 3.00. I headed to the studio with my heart in my throat. "Aah,here comes the Kopi Boy!"said Ms Siew loudly,slapping me on the back really hard. My Milo almost came up.
She had made the Band Gang stand in a row in front of her,and she was glaring at them with daggers in her eyes. "So,"she said loudly,"do y'all know why i have asked you to stand here today?" The Band Gang looked solemn,and slowly they nodded. "Why? Eh? Gimme an answer quick! Diya!"she spat. "Why did i call y'all out?" "Because we have bad attitude."responded Diya,her eyes glued to the ground.
"Yes!"screamed Ms Siew. Her scream gor my ears pounding. "Y'all have very bad attitude! AND your playing is very bad!"
"I don't know WHAT happened to y'all but y'all have deteriorated very badly!!" Ms Siew jabbed a finger at Yang. "YOU'RE so out of tune,and when i ask you a question you give me that face!" (That's how Yang looks Ms Siew,goodness gracious.) "And you!"she added,pointing her finger at Xuan. "You were good! What happen to you? YOU BECOME LAZY?!?!" She shook her head.
"Y'all no need to come here anymore. I DON'T NEED you in the Band. GET OUT!!!!!"she shrieked.
I had to try and muster a 'triumphant' smile as they turned and slowly made their way towards the door. My heart was breaking,and tears were threatening to leak out of my eyes. I couldn't believe it.
I had betrayed them. I betrayed the Band Gang. I was such a despicable person.
Suddenly,we heard a commotion outside. Ed Eew burst in looking mutilated,with an absolutely livid Clarice growling ferociously at him. "He-he purposely wants to have them kicked out of Band!"panted Ed Eew. Ms Siew looked furious. "What's going on?!?!"she bellowed. Clarice tucked a stray chunk of hair behind her ear.
"I'm very sorry Ms Siew,but you mustn't listen to him."she said. "This was all his plan!" She pointed angrily at him. He turned green. "What are you talking about?!"he spat. "It's obvious that he wanted the girls out of the Band so that the Band would deteriorate to its fullest! Isn't the Band getting smaller,Ms Siew?"
If he thought he could get on the right side of Ms Siew he was terribly wrong. Her face turned red at the mention of the Band becoming smaller,and she glared at him with pure,pure hatred. "DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT AGAIN!!! I KNOW THE BAND IS GETTING SMALLER,DO I NEED YOU TO TELL ME?! Clarice! Tell me exactly what is going here!"ordered Ms Siew. Despite her age,she sure is a strong woman.
"Since Ed Eew isn't a well liked teacher,he wanted to frame...Kopi Boy for kicking these girls out of Band."explained Clarice. "We found evidence in his office!" She brandished her phone at Ms Siew,who took a good look at the pictures. My Stony Bff joined shortly after,and added the punch by showing them all pictures of Ed Eew's woman. Mrs Chan turned green,and Mrs Toh grabbed a stand and slammed his face hard. "He,"said Clarice,pointing to me,"was blackmailed by Ed Eew." Ed Eew tried to protest,but Clarice took the stand from Mrs Toh and whacked him a few more times.
"HOLD HIM DOWN,STONY BFF!!!"she yelled. I felt myself falling more deeply in love with her. She had never looked this wild and sexy before. My Stony Bff obliged immediately,terrified of the raging hurricane in front of him,and did so. Clarice punched and kicked him really badly,out of pure anger. She even borrowed Xuan's tuba to hit him until he went unconscious.
The VP was called and he sent for an ambulance straight away to take Ed Eew to the hospital,where he would be staying for now. He wasn't coming back to Bandset Girls' anytime soon.
