GIRLS CONTINUES TO CHATTER AS THE WHITE NEW KID DID SOME STROLL IN EAST HIGH. It was one of the days that he wore the usual poker face but since he's finding the familiar short blond girl. He wear that million dollar grin on his face.

His hand met the cold metal of his locker and put all of his things there and check himself out to his small mirror. And saw a few girls giggling. Zenith sighed and continues to walk on his first class.

East High was okay,Zenith thought. Except they have this drama club that everybody gushed about. He didn't get the idea, though. As he turn his way he accidentally bumped into someone and by means by someone it was the nerdy Ty.

His eyes bulges open which made Zenith grin more playfully.

"Zenith?" he was still astonished by the fact that the Zenith Claire is....actually there. Standing in front of him.

The one that broke Ellie's heart into pieces.

"It's been a long time... Ty."

Ellie felt her head a little bit better. But her neck was killing her. She could see it was already snowing outside which made Ellie nuzzle to her blanket even more. But then, as if someone was behind her. Hands around her. She saw the familiar bitten nails with a silver ring on its index finger holding her right hand.

Ellie yelp in surprise, as the curly brown hair woke up. Ricky looked tired while rubbing his eyes, like a kid.

"You're awake already..." it left as if he's asking. Ellie covered her mouth to not be noisy about the fact that the two of them shared the same bed.

"D-Did somethi..." Ricky quickly shook his head and explained what happened that night. Ellie's scrunched brow vanishes as she remembers what really happened. She sighed in relief making Ricky chuckle at how frantic Ellie was.

"Don't worry, you're mom just knocked the door and said that she and your dad are going to the market to buy some foods." Ricky explained as he pulled his hair back. His hair looks like a haystack but Ellie find it cute...and at the same time hot?

With that thought, Ellie shook the thought away. It didn't help though since his hand touches her forehead.

" Are you sure you're okay? You're all red..."

"Y-Yeah! I'm all good. Hehe." her heart beats faster like she was gonna have a heart attack. He smiled in gladness that Ellie was feeling okay.

Ellie thought,

To be honest, Ricky would be the death of her if he didn't stop acting so thoughtful and sweet in early in the morning.

Growth. It was one of the things that a person continues to try to achieve. And it was one of Ellie's witnessing right now as she watch the other students give their best to the rehearsals.

Ellie sang her part, whole heartedly. Everyone turn their attention on her voice. She gave her best to sing her part . It was not that high but it was a tricky note to achieve.

She turns to EJ who gave her a thumbs up, her smile grew. Then, her eyes met Ricky's brown eyes she winks at her playfully making him shook his head.

Nini turn to the brown curly boy and the short blonde girl who were giggling with one another as they perform. She felt something a like a twist on her stomach. Which was the first time she felt.

"Hey, here's the microphone---" Nini snapped into reality as Ty gave her a microphone.

"You okay there?..." Ty asked worriedly at the girl who looks gloomy at something. Then Ty saw where Nini was looking at.

Ricky smiling goofily at Ellie who just made a corny joke.

"It hurts doesn't it?" Ty blurted not minding the girl's feelings.

But it was true though.

Nini is jealous.

Ty thought.

Nini sighed and shook her head. Making Ty tap her shoulders comforting her.

"Well... You can't just avoid your feelings and expect it to disappear."

"What are you---"

"You know exactly what I mean, Nini." with that Ty left the girl in confusion. Nini bit her lower lip in frustration of what Ty just said.

Nini thought,

It's nonsense.

I don't have feelings for Ricky anymore.

I don't.

Right?

Zenith waits outside East High. He's been meaning to ask her to meet up with him. But since he has asked Ty about it just resulted him empty handed. He was not very glad to see him, though. As Zenith points it.

His lips touches his ash gray scarf around his neck. Students continues to pass by. Just in time, as he was about to walk back inside he saw a girl struggling to carry some of her projects. If Zenith could point it out she was one of the cast in the so called musical.

"Here, let me help you with that." Zenith volunteered which made the girl gave a sweet smile at him.

"Thanks. Since it's a hell of a week..."

"I know." which made the girl brow furrows. Zenith answered in respond.

"I'm from England. The name is Zenith." he introduced and asked where the girl going. They proceed on heading at the parking lot.

"Nice to meet you, Zenith." they paused and Zenith Waits for the girl to introduce herself. Since  he wants to have a friend at least there in East High. The girl was a bit shocked at how good-looking Zenith is. Not to mention a strand of his hair left on his forehead, which made him look... Perfect.

"Oh! I'm Nini. Just Nini."
