I'm DESTINED to be HERS (EXO FANFIC)

Chapter 25

I yawned and stretched my arms, showing how tiring this day is and it's not even half yet. "I want to sleep." Dawn whined and I couldn't agree more. I'm also sleepy. It feels like there's a lazy fog surrounding the school and every students just feels so tired and doesn't have the mood to exert energy. "Ace!!!" We were startled by Mina shouting from afar and enthusiastically running towards our direction. Or maybe it's just me and Dawn who feels lazy. "What's with the excitement?" I asked. Dawn sat straight and rested her chin on her palm with droopy eyes. "I got an awesome news but first what's up with you two? Did you caught some flu virus?" She said the last part while creasing her forehead. Dawn and I tiredly sighed. "If no news about EXO means catching a flu virus? then that's it." Dawn said in monotone. Mina smiled awkwardly, didn't know how to react on Dawn. I huffed a laugh and asked her what news was she going to share.

"Oh right! X asks everyone to gather in the club room today. He's going to announce something." She said it with excitement. "That's the awesome news you're talking about?" Dawn said with a tinge of disappointment on her tone. "It is!" Mina's defense. Dawn waved her hands like dismissing the conversation. Mina playfully rolled her eyes. "Okay then." I said and stood up. "Let's go together." Mina nodded. "Catch you later, Dawn." Dawn raised her thumbs up while her head is resting on the table. Mina and I walked together to the club room while she kepts on blabbering about how curious she is on X's announcement. According to her, X's announcement was always fun and educational at the same time. The crew always anticipates it.

When we entered the room, half of the crew were already there minding their own business and playing with music (dancing). "What do you think X's announcement be like?" One of the crew asked. "Last year, we danced in urban front row. Do you think we'll be dancing to WOD this time?" Mina joined their conversation. Urban front row is a big dance event that only talented dancers are given the privilege to show off their skills and it's a big deal. WOD on the other hand is more prestigious event or let's just say the highest class dancing event. This is where you can officially call yourself world-class dancer if you perfomed on WOD stage. My mouth hanged open. "All of you performed in Urban Front row?" I almost squealed. "Not all of us. Freshmens were to watch, Seniors were the ones who performed." the crew member said. I whistled. Three continuous claps echoed the room and caught our attention. X stands in the middle and signalling us to listen to him. Everyone's face was masked on excitement and anticipation. Even I became excited too. "C'mon, X. Drop the thrill and spill the beans." Mina commented and everyone laughed. "Alright, but first I would like to thank all of you for coming--"

"X!" Everyone whined and X laughed. "Stop with the tease please." a crew member said. I'm also dying in curiousity. I felt extreme excitement and for some other reason why do I feel scared? X cleared his throat. "I got an invitation from an old friend." he paused and smiled. "He asked me to let Astrals train with their dancers there." our foreheads creased. "Where is that 'there'exactly?" Mina sounding frustrated with all the cliff hangers X is giving. "SM studio." I was shocked. We all were. "S-SM? Like really SM Entertainment Studio?" I voiced. "Train there?" Mina seconded. We all know how big of a deal SM is and to train there means perfection. I gulped. Not to mention it's EXO's entertainment. Like duh! That's a huge privilege! X nodded and the room filled with reactions. We're all happy...but I'm worried for no particular reason. Like this whole thing was a bad idea. I just shrugged it off. "We'll be starting next week. Prepare your self. The way they do it in SM isn't the same how I do it." X meaningfully said. "And there's a twist." he continued.

"Y'all know, freshmens are to observe while the seniors are doing all the thrill. That's what has always been but this time around freshmens are going to join." he looked at me and smirked. And I don't know why did he do that. Everyone cheered in glee and was too excited to even hear X's last words. "Alright! That's the announcement. Schedules will be posted on the board soon. Y'all dismissed." and he walks out of the room.

Mina and I walled back to where we left Dawn. She was still on her spot just as how we left her a while ago. Did she actually fell asleep? "See you later, Ace." I nodded and went to Dawn. I took a sit and checked on her. "Is she really asleep?" I said to myself. "Nope." Dawn groaned and lazily opened her eyes. My forehead creased. She really looks tired and a bit red. "Hey, you okay?" I worriedly asked and she slowly nodded. I placed my hand on her forehead and she chuckled. "I am okay, Ace." She sat straight and stretched her arms upward. "C'mon. We still have classes." I nodded and we're off to our classes. I can't still believe what X has said earlier. Train there to dance... With no auditions or whatsoever requirements. SM is a huge company and has high standard in recruiting talents. It's such a huge opportunity to be invited there. X is a no joke. He has unbelievable connections. I told Dawn about it and of course I got the reaction I was expecting to see. She squealed and was shaking me to dizziness. She's more excited than I am and was planning what am I going to wear on every practices. I just shook my head. "Dawn, it's a training not a fashion show." I remind her but knowing Dawn, she'll have her way.

How this day end was almost a blur. After classes, Dawn and I went on our seperate ways. I went back to the dormitory and took a rest before reviewing. Exams are almost there and I can't risk on failing. A ping was heard on my phone. I checked to see what it was. "Hi, Ace!" Tiana just came in and hopped on to her bed immediately. "Hey, what's up? I asked. "Nothing." she muttered. "I'll be out again tonight. You don't have to wait for me in dinner." she said and got up from her and went inside the bathroom. "Okay..." I said. She's always going out. I'm wondering how can she make Ms. Levi give her permission. I just rolled my eyes ignoring that thought. I checked my phone to see Sky's message. My forehead creased. Why would he text me? It's actually the first time to see his name popped on my notification bar.

From: Sky

Are you busy?

My eyebrow quirked up. Tiana went out of the bathroom, all dressed-up. "Are you going to sleep here?" I asked and she shrugged. "Not sure but just lock the door. I'll bring my keys with me." I nodded. "Bye!" she said and left the room. I looked back to my phone and composed a reply.

Why?

Just answer my question.

I frowned. He's sometimes getting on my nerves. He's cold, bossy, a pure jerk. I sighed and suddenly a smiling Sky flashed inside my head. I scrunched my nose. He's moody. I ignored his text message, got up from my bed, washed myself up then started studying. Continuous ping was heard on my phone. My forehead creased and checked my phone again. It was the EXO's groupchat. They were sending comfort and good luck messages to each other. It seems that they're in different places.

I was to put my phone down when an incoming phone call was flashed on the screen. My forehead creased. Not because I don't know who's the caller but why is he calling me? Was it that important? I sighed, bit my lip and answered the call.

"Wha--"
"Get out. I'm outside your room."
