"My very last term! I shall be eighteen on my next birthday! I'm almost grown up!"It'll be my last year going to school with you Felicity." I said in my big sister's voice. After all, I had actually said something similar to my younger sister when I left for university.

"We will be announcing the parts after we have finalised the decisions." announced the drama teacher, Ms. Tsareena.

"Please take a seat on the empty benches." said the director, a plump senior by the name of Dennise Lyolldman.

I sat on a bench and started to read the script. It was really well written, and Dennise certainly had a talent of writing.

"Please gather! We have decided on the parts." A tall sophomore, Dawn Lake announced.

"The part of Felicity goes to Amanda Ling. The part of Susan goes to Violet Bush. The part of June goes to Abigail Laws! The part of Alicia goes to Sarah Jane! The part of Mamzelle goes to Pamela Wert! The part of Nora goes to Nora Tessell! The part of Sally goes to... Autumn Han! And lastly, the part of Darrell goes to... April Tan!"

All the students cheered, but some seemed disappointed that they had not passed.

I happened to notice Malaysia's face, and it was beyond comprehension. She was red with anger, and everybody was scurrying out of her way as she roughly dragged Amanda somewhere.

Amanda screamed some words but I wasn't focusing on it.

"Woah! We actually made it!"

"April, can you and Autumn go get the props please? We will be holding a practice soon!" (not so soon, it was free time at that moment)

"Of course Dawn." We both replied

I linked arms with Autumn and as we passed the corner, we overheard Malaysia.

''It's all because of you little brat Amanda!" Screamed Malaysia " I would have got the part if you didn't keep following me and distracting me from practicing my script! All I wanted from you is to ditch your silly old friends. There'd be so much drama! Did I mention that I like drama? Because I do. Anyway, I'll find a way to get that part from April someway or another. And if you didn't understand that, It means: we're through!''

I exchanged surprised and shocked looks to Autumn.

"Shouldn't we go comfort her?" I suggested.

"I guess so..." Autumn agreed, but reluctantly.

After all the commotion, I wanted to check on Amanda in our dorm but the kitchen door was locked.

I took out my cell-phone and texted Autumn.

Autumn Han

Me: Autumn, Amanda locked the kitchen door!

Autumn: I dunno, why don't you try knocking?

Me: I'll try, but come up quickly.
