Happenstance

Chapter VII

The students of Freedom High school are extremely busy this past few days, the majority of the Junior High school are busy setting up their stalls or classrooms. You can see almost zombified students walking around the halls with decorations on their hands.

As for Ally and Brookes' class, they are extremely on point of everything they do. They tried to recreate everything as close to it as the real thing. The windows are adorned with cream curtains, the blackboard has a colorful menu for the customers to choose from, the chairs and desk are now aligned to look like that of a café and they set-up a mini stall by the exit door for the mini bake sale. The room already looked decent but Ally and Brooke were bothered about something and somehow they can't resolve the issue.

Ally: Brooke, I can't believe you forgot to tell the kitchen staff committee to make the main dish. I specifically told you to tell them yesterday while they were preparing their things in the school cafeteria.

Brooke: Nobody wants to eat your choice for the main dish it's too sophisticated for a costume café that's why I selected a new dish.

Ally: You what! I can't believe you did that without my permission. I thought we were partners in this whole thing.

Brooke: I thought we were too! You've been extremely bossy with me about everything that I'm starting to think that I'm just your assistant. Actually, I have been feeling this way when I started being friends with you! I always felt like I was only under your shadow and nobody ever treated me as a friend not unless you're there beside me.

Ally: Oh yeah, if that's what you feel I guess we can just try to make this work without us working together anymore.

Brooke: Fine!

Ally: Fine!

They separated ways after that, and as if by unusual timing Anya and Mars just came in the classroom barely noticing that the Ally and Brooke are still fighting. Anya and Mars were arguing about the photos they took as documentation. Only Yanna saw everything but she didn't really comfort any of them because she was in the middle of a crisis herself. Somehow they the expenses their class made was over the budget and no matter how hard she tried, she can't seem to figure out what went wrong.

Anya: These pictures aren't exactly appropriate for documentation. It is more appropriate if our classmates were posing for a photo shoot.

Mars: At least the picture quality is better than someone whose pictures always seem to come out blurry.

Anya: Oh give me a break I told you I'm such a novice at these things but I do know how to handle a camera. At least the blurry photos are trying to capture what's actually happening in the classroom and not outside in the school oval. If I know you were trying to take a picture of a certain person who can't even recognize that she's been stalked.

Mars: I am not a stalker and I don't know what you are talking about. I know what we can do to fix this. Let's just spread out take as much pictures as we can in our desired way of taking photos and let's meet up back here in the classroom for the selecting process.

Anya: Finally, I can roam around the room and not have to act that I like your pictures.

As Anya and Mars end their fight or if you even consider it as a fight. They noticed Yanna sulking in her seat trying to cover herself with excess decoration.

Anya: Yanna, what are you doing? Are you trying to drown yourself with those decorations?

Yanna: Yes and No, I saw a problem with our expense budget and it seems to be over than the expected expense. I don't know who I should tell the problem to since Ally and Brooke are still cooling off their heads after their recent fight. The weird thing is I know that our expenses are less than the budget. In fact, there has to be an excess and somehow that amount just seemed to vanish.

Mars: Maybe someone stole the money, it is clearly possible.

Anya: On the side note, why did Ally and Brooke fight?

Yanna explained to them what happened and they weren't exactly shock about it. They decided to turn Yanna's problem into a positive thing so that Ally and Brooke will be forced to make up.

Anya: Why don't I tell Brooke about the lost money and Yanna will tell Ally meanwhile Mars will try to look for the culprit.

Yanna and Mars: Ok.
