Today is the fateful day... the day of our drama performance.

I took a deep breath as I tried to calm my shaking hand that was applying eyeshadow. I couldn't help but feel nervous. Our teacher booked the theatre, so our performances were going to be on a large stage in front of an audience. Some of the other teachers are even taking their classes to watch.

I would have to kiss Jungkook in front of all them. That's what was freaking me out the most.

Finally finished with my makeup, I applied the setting mist. Damn, no matter how nervous I was, I still looked good.

"Calypso, are you ready to go?" Jennie called out from the doorway.

"Yes, coming!" I shouted back. I grabbed my bag and swiftly left my room.

Once we got to school, we went backstage. Our class was preparing for performances and was buzzing with activity.

"Were you invited to Yoongi's party?" I heard one girl ask another.

"Nope." She replied sadly.

"How about you?" She turned to me and Jennie.

I looked at Jennie and shrugged. "I never heard about this party until now."

"Yoongi is hosting it, the senior. I heard that he only invited select people. I wish I could go..." the girl trailed off.

"Do people really care about parties that much?" I asked.

"At this school, parties are the way everyone de-stresses. It's also a way the social hierarchy is established. The usual hosts are Yoongi, Taehyung since they both live in mansion. Sometimes even Jungkook."
 
The way her gaze changed when she said Jungkook made me cringe. As if I was supposed to care. "Parties are the best part of highschool life." Jennie said with a smirk. "I'll take you to one sometime so you could have some real fun"

"I mean I guess it could be fun." I shrugged.

Honestly I could care less about a party hosted by a popular douche. I bet Jungkook and his gang were invited since they are the most popular guys in school.

At this point in time, 4 out of the 5 groups in our class have performed already. Our group was to go last, we were supposed to go out in a few minutes.

As Jennie and I stood backstage looking through the curtains, I could see Jungkook and Taehyung, looking as ethereal as ever, walking towards us from the green room. Somebody definitely must have styled them and did their makeup because DAMN.

Jungkook stopped beside me.

"You ready? " he asked.

I nodded, trying to conceal my nerves.

"Take a deep breath. Don't worry."

"I'm not nervous haha" I laughed nervously.

"I can read you like a book, Cal." He said with a smirk. "You can't fool me"
