"Goodmorning class. As you all know,finals is coming." One of the prof said.

We all whined. Usually when prof say that,there planning to give us projects. And I hate it,our article is not even yet finished.

"Since,I love this class. I want this class,to perform a ...ROLEPLAY!"

Everyone whined.

"And what kind of roleplay?" I asked.

"That's up to the director."

"Who's the director?" One of my classmate asked.

The prof look at me.
I poke Yuan. "I think he's looking at you."

"No. He's looking at you."

"Yes,Ms.Rivera I want you to be the director."

"I respectfully decline."

"Do you seriously think anybody will be responsible enough to do this? Remember,the grade of the director will be the grade of the whole class depends on how the play go. I'll give you the rest of the class,to talk to your classmate."

I stand up in front. "So else wants to be the director? Please,spare me the headaches."

Nobody raised their hands.

I sigh.
"Fine. I want Yuan to be my scriptwriter. Zach to be my choreographer. Daniel to be my stage designer. And Santos,to be my stage manager . Lights and sound by Gerald. Makeups and costume by Tim. And Dantly Rivero to be my leading actor."

"Such a bitch. She choose the boys more than the girls." Santo's gilfriend said.

"Because they are less dramatic. If you want,you can be with Santos you are both my stage manager."

The two idiots high-fived.

'They don't even know what a stage manager is.' I said to myself laughing.

"The rest can be the propsman. " before they can complain. "Anyone who dissagree can make their own fucking roleplay. Remember,the director automatically get a grade with play or without. ARASO?" I shouted.

Everyone straighten their seats. "ARASO!"

"Let's start off with the theme. What do you want?"

"Action!"

"Sci-Fi!"

"Comedy!"

"Romance! "

"Let's ask the scriptwriter." I said.

Yuan look at me. "Well...I was thinking of...RomCom."

"RomCom! Amazing." My bitchy classmate said. "I'll be the leading actress."

"No!" I shouted and they all look at me.

"And why not?" She asked raising her pencil drawn eyebrow.

I look at my classmate and they are all looking at me.

"Anyone wanted to be partner with Hanz? Anybody?" I asked. I know nobody but my bitchy classmate is the only one who can fulfill the leading actress role.

"Come on,director! Stop being so selfish about Hanz he's not even your boyfriend."

"I know he's not boyfriend but he's still mine. So fuck off!" The whole class screamed wildly.

"Ms.Rivera,your words!" The teacher warned me.

"Tsk,whatever."

After my part-time job,I waited for Hanz

"Hanny." I run up to him.

"Oh hey. "

We were walking when I receive a call from Yuan.

"Let me see that." Hanz said,I showed him my phone and he put it on loudspeaker. "Talk to him."

Yuan:Boss? Boss? Are you there?
Me:Ahh...yeah.
Yuan: Hey,can you come over at my house? I started the script. I want you to see it.
Me:Can you just send it to me? Or you can show it to me tommorow morning.
Yuan: It's alright.

I suddenly got the feeling that something is wrong.

Me: Gabby? Are you okay?
Yuan: Yeah. See you tomorrow.

He ended the call.

"Somethings wrong." I said.

"What do you mean?" Hanz asked.

"I need to go."

"I'll come with you." Hanz said.

And we run all the way to Yuan's house.
I rang the doorbell.

I tried calling Yuan but he won't answer.

Then the door opened.
"Kendra!" I said.
She run and hugged me.

"I miss you Marie. And who is he?" She asked pointing at Hanz.

"This is Hanz. One of your brother's friend."

"I'm Kendra." And she shake hands with Hanz.
"He's pretty like us." Kendra said giggling.

"Where's your brother?"

"He lock himself up in his room." Kendra said.

Kendra lead us to Yuan's room. Where his mother is knocking.
"Yuan please,come out. You need to eat." His mother said knocking.

"Leave.me.alone!" He shouted.

"Auntie--I mean ma'am. Is he alright?" I asked.

"Oh,Marie. Goodthing you came. I noticed he was a little pale,so I asked him but he suddenly got angry and lock himself up." Mrs.River said.

"Let's see what we can do."

I knocked on his door ,three times.
"Gabby?" I said.

His door suddenly opened,and grab me inside .
Then he locked the door.

I didn't even blink because everything happened so fast.

"Gabby? Are you alright?"

He was just hugging me.
"I'm so glad you came."

"Hey! Are you alright?" Hanz said knocking.

Yuan look at me. "You brought him?"

"Sorry,I was in a hurry. "

He let me go.
And he opened the door.

"Son? Are you---"

Yuan grab Hanz from the shirt,pull him inside and close the door.

"Hey! What the heck man? Are you always this rude to your mom?"

I saw Yuan,pissed off.

"Ah! Gabby,where's the script you told me about?"

His mood brighten. "Aww. I lied to you. I need some ideas."

"Tsk." We walked over to his bed.
"Can you do me a favor and kill the leading actress?"

"That won't be fun." Yuan said.

"Alright. Then let's make the leading actor a gay?"

"What?!" Hanz said looking at me unbelievable.

"Ahh...I see where your going. Making him gay." We both look at him.

We were giving him an 'You-won't-like-our-idea-look.'

"I hate your ideas." Hanz said disgusted.
