After two weeks and three days of preparations, tonight will be the time for the Gala Night to happen. Everyone were so busy for the final preparations in the main hall of the school.

The members from singer section was checking on the foods that just arrived from the restaurant we chose to order from, the decoration team from art section were busy tidying the decorations on the stage and also at each tables, the theater section's members were busy with the final check for the games we will be playing on the Gala Night while the members from musician section were busy with the soundcheck to make sure that the public address (PA) system was functioning at its best condition.

I was busy checking the guest list name when someone tapped my shoulder. It was Revus and he was holding a big brown reusable bag paper of the tentative cards.

"Hey, where should I put this? Here on the entrance table or on each of the dining table?", he asked pointing to the bag he was holding.

"Put two here just in case someone is curious before entering the hall and as for the others, put it on every table", I gestured to Revus to put two of the tentative card on the table that have been decorated with green lace tablecloth. "Revus, wait for me. Let me help you after I finish checking with this guest list". He obeyed and stood still beside me, sneaking at the guest list that I was holding with my right hand.

"That's a lot of people", he was amazed.

"And that's why we have to make sure that tonight will be prefect for everyone. The club's member and also the guests that are coming tonight", I put the guest list back on the table before smiling at him to reassure him. "But no worries, we got this. We all will do great, judging from what I have seen during the preparations period", I took few tiny pile of the tentative card from the paper bag and followed Revus's steps to every dining tables that also have been decorated with green tablecloths.

As I was helping Revus, suddenly the figure of Adrian caught my attention.

"Hey Revus, got to go. I want to make sure that everything is good with the PA system", I politely informed Revus.

"Sure, see you very soon. I'll pick you up at your home around 6. And ya, a quick final check, it is red right?", he asked about the colour we both as partner have decided to wear and I nodded confirming.

He waved me goodbye and I went straight to the stage of the hall. As Adrian saw me coming, he lifted his hand high to greet me. "Yes, miss president. Is there anything I can help you?".

I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "Please don't call me that ever again".

He laughed adorably.

"Is everything okay with the guitar? I heard from Alta few days ago that one of the guitar you were planning to use was broken", my eyes wandered on the stage to see few of the members from musician section were busy arranging the musical instruments.

"We have sent the guitar to be fix but unfortunately, they can't fix it before the gala night", Adrian sighed. "But I brings mine for tonight, so nothing to worry", he winked and took out a guitar from its bag.

I nodded and tap his shoulder.

I was planning to leave him to continue his works when he suddenly call my name.

"The ribbons I gave you before, it will surely good looks on you tonight", he simply said that before he walked away from me. I want to ask him to explain more but Eleanor suddenly approched me and told me that everything was already on their place and perfectly ready for tonight's event.

"Let's go home now. We need lots of time to prepare for tonight".

"Okay, wait. I have to go take my bag first", I ran to the nearby table to take my bag and as I realised that Adrian have already left the hall with his team during the conversation of me and Eleanor, I decided to just forget about the explanation I wanted and went back home with Eleanor.
