The Uprising: Book One

Chapter 4: Hello Dragons

It was Thursday; the last day all the clubs would be out and about advertising themselves at the same time and the last of the meet and greets. It was still well before the time but Primrose was already there. She took in her surroundings; seniors setting up stalls whilst a few other students loitered in the car park. A quick neatening of her clothes before she began her walk alone through the stalls. Although she could feel herself being watched, her eyes searched for one stall in particular.

Zac just hung up a track club banner and watched Primrose walk past; he glanced at the swim team club stall which was nearby, Phillip deposited a few bottles of water into a cooler box and noticed Primrose as well, he gave Zac a shrug.

She finally found it; the science stall. She stopped walking when she noticed that no one was there. She knew she was still being watched and was about to turn back when she caught sight of him; dressed in full black and with a box tucked underneath his arm. Primrose continued towards the stall; watching him unpack the box.

He felt her approaching and turned his head ever so slightly to look at her through his tinted sunglasses; he gave her a half amused smile

Primrose saw the smile again; the one that implied he always knew something. She started feeling nervous but was then stopped in her tracks by Annabelle, "Hey! You're here early"

Primrose smiled and nodded but her attention returned to him as he removed his sunglasses and hoody, it messed up his hair but he didn't seem to care and it actually suited him

"Can you help me out with some stuff", Annabelle flashed her amazing smile and it was hard to say no, Primrose followed her but not without one more glance at him

*******

At the drama stall, Annabelle slid over a box, "Can you just unpack this-Dean is running late- so I have to get this stall ready, check that the cheerleading stall is perfect and basically check everyone else's as well...and then I have to head back to the house to make sure things are ready for tonight"
Primrose began unpacking the box, which contained pamphlets about drama club, "Is it just you doing everything?"

"Well no...but I'm a perfectionist so I'm the only one making sure it's done...perfectly" she smiled, then sent a quick text and finished hanging up the banner for drama club

"Everything alright?

"Yeah, just needed at the cheerleading stall to sort something out- will you be alright manning the stall till Dean gets here?", Annabelle asked whilst already grabbing her sling purse

Primrose nodded and neatened up the table whilst Annabelle left, Primrose watched her go, noticing how perfectly coordinated even her outfit was. She turned her attention to the science stall, Ashley was now with him

*******

The gang arrived with the majority of the other students, "Hey Prim!" Dante' yelled whilst approaching the stall

Dean was seated next to her and faked his sadness, "Was I nothing more than a pass time to you?"

"You're going to get an Oscar someday" Primrose laughed whilst getting up to join her friends

*******

"Hey Aster" Ashley greeted at the science stall, to the surprise of the rest of the gang; Primrose chose to come with him. "H, this is the guy I was telling you about"

Henry slid a box under the table and then stood to shake Asters hand, "Henry"

"The president of the science committee" Aster beamed

"So you want to make the team for the annual competition?"

Aster nodded, "Absolutely! I heard you guys did your project on Bio-Luminescence last year; have you thought about this year's project?"
