Richard:"Alright class we are going to need a representive for the annual school festival anyone wanna go for it?"

"Uh? I'm kinda busy lately I don't have a lot of time."

"Yea me too"

(Heh all of them just dodging the role, well not that I'm complaining why would anyone want to do something they have no interest in. Well pretty sure that sums up 90% of school anyways.)

Richard:"Alright then if nobody wants to do it, I guess we shall do a randomiser with the computer."

Michael:"You know man you should probably sign up"

Daniel:"What? For what reason, I have no interest in doing that."

Michael:"Well with all the high and mighty things you talk about this job would be pretty suited for ya!" Michael smiled as he gave me the most carefree look in the world.

Richard:"Okay, Daniel your up!"

Daniel:"WHAT!" I stood up from my seat with my mouth agape as the whole class lit up with applause

Daniel:"But why me? I don't even like this sort of thing."

"Well blame the computer not me" Ms Koto smiled at me with a face of pure happiness, I bet she's enjoying watching me work after that essay I wrote.

"Good for you man, do a good job for the class." Isaac smiled and congratulated me.

 "Damn that charisma is hard to turn down, even for me. I can't help but be magnetised by by his personality, truly an embodiment of a perfect kid."

"Yeah, I hope I don't screw up anything." I laughed awkwardly.

Richard:"Please go to the meeting room after school for the committee meeting Daniel."

"Right thanks ." I said with the most fake smile ever. "I bet even some of the girls in this school can't compete with level of fakeness I'm putting into this smile right now." I awkwardly thought to myself

As the bell rang, Daniel walked to the meeting room he couldn't help but wonder why life had did this to him. He scoffed at the school system for these petty superficial policies to attempt to get students to bond but really just makes the situation worse for everyone involved.

"Woah!" Daniel accidentally hit someone while being too deep in thought.

"My apologies I wasn't looking straight." As he opened his eyes the same long flowing black hair greeted his eyes as the hair swayed past, the same bluish black eyes greeted him.

"Oh hi Jasmine." Daniel awkwardly waved

"How rude! I expect you to think with that self proclaimed genius brain of yours." said Jasmine with upmost confidence and that very familiar icy gaze.

It's like she's barely fazed by what just happened. As they both stood and picked up their dropped items Daniel couldn't help but notice a particular handout.

Daniel: "Committee schedule... you're on the committee as well?"

Jasmine: "Yes I was forced to by my class, honestly those people just pushed what their unwanted work on me."

Daniel: "Oh once again I'm in agreement Ms Jasmine." I jokingly said but was once again surprised at how similar she was to me.

Rosalia: "Oh Jasmine all the best for the committee meeting!" A familiar voice interjected from behind.

''Oh thanks I will do my best!" Jasmine smiled as if she had seen an angel descending from heaven.

Rosalia:"Oh Daniel... you're in the committee too huh?"
