ARYA SAVIER

"The event of the Drama club will be starting please go to the Stadium right now," The speakers around the campus announced. It appears that the administration required each student to watch this one.

Maybe the drama club begged the administration to make the announcement. I heard that each year their play really sucks and no one even bothers to go and watch. I groaned and stretched my arms. I was asleep on the classroom and trying hard to forget—

My train of thoughts stopped. I don't want to remember what I saw.

"Hey Arya! Are you slacking up here again?" I gazed at the source of the voice, it was Elsa together with the "usual" Brian Fans Club. Flori and Trei were grinning at me stupidly.

"Hmmm...Kind of, until all of you came along," I smiled back.

"Hey Arya! Would you mind being with us for the play? We hadn't have a full time bonding in a while you know," Gela slung her arms on mine and dragged me. I just nodded and tagged along.

When we went down at the stadium, the place was packed with people. It appears that not only the students were forced to watch but also the faculty members. It was hard securing seats for 5 people but we managed in the end.

We were seated on the 3rd Row or something, I didn't even know how Elsa managed to do that but I guess her seductive powers never fails. The stage was well designed, I guess the arts club and the drama club really tried hard this time. I heard the play is all about the Golden Apple which started the famous Trojan War.

Magnificent curtains were hanged on the ceiling and there was even a magnificent tree that looked real. I wonder why Lieutenant and Jadey never told me about this gig of the art club, they  were probably escaping from any unnecessary workload so they wouldn't tell me about it.

I wonder if the actors and actresses were as good as the setting of the stage. Rumors has it that the drama club always sucked because of their choice of actors and actresses.

Minutes later, to our annoyance, the drama still hasn't started. What the heck is wrong with this drama club? I could hear the groaning of others and the place was also too noisy because of the bored students.

I was debating whether I should sneak out when I suddenly felt a tug and a bump in my sides. Ow! I scowled and hissed to Trei, "What the heck was that for?!"

"Shhh! They might hear you!" Someone covered my mouth and Flori nodded to the people currently walking towards the empty seats in front of us.

My eyes widen when I saw who it was, it was Brian Christian Harvard together with his group of friends they were laughing. I tried so hard to remain invisible. I let out a sigh of relief when they sat in front of us, it appears that Brian never even noticed me one bit.

I keep on staring at Brian's back, I couldn't help but remember that event again. The questions keep coming in my head, are Brian and Claudette already together? What happens now?

Gah! I hate myself for thinking too much!

 

BRIAN CHRISTIAN HARVARD

"The event of the drama club will be starting, please go to the stadium right now, attendance is a must." The announcement was heard throughout the campus, I rolled my eyes and just reclined comfortably on my seat.

"Attendance my ass, as if they could force us to watch that crap," Tristan complained while the others just laughed along.

"Hey Bri! What's with the long face? You've been sulking for like, I don't know, maybe forever?!" Anton made a face and I couldn't help but laugh at his ridiculous face.
