Chapter Two: Show Time!

Everybody was busy with the rehearsals on the days approaching the open-house. People were all in a state of confusion and disorganization at the start but we gradually improved. Very gradually. We finally picked up the pace a week before our performance.

During rehearsals, people were pretty harsh on me and the person acting the main lead’s role, Logan’s role. Comments flew in faster a cheetah spirit could sprint. And let me tell you, cheetah spirits can sprint incredibly fast.

“You better not destroy the class’ reputation!” Warned one. “Logan’s gonna be there!” Added another. “Don’t embarrass us.” Complained a third. I sighed. People get jealous so easily, it’s not like I wanted to be female lead! “But you do!” Sheila commented. “Don’t think you’re a cute little fox and I won’t strangle you Sheila.” Sheila went to a corner of my mind, literally, and whimpered.

Before I knew it, it was already the day before the open-house. After the initial setbacks, we actually made something that might, could and would work! I was proud of us. Screw everyone who said drama was not a real major!

Suddenly we heard cheers, screams and shrieks outside the auditorium. “What’s going on?” I asked Ava. “Umm... I’m not sure. But I’m willing to guess!” Ava’s face lit up like a Christmas tree on Christmas Day. “Maybe someone important is outside! The president?! No, maybe it’s Teng! But he can’t be that popular, right? How about...” Ava’s nonsensical guesses came out one after another. This woman, I swear, lives to indulge in gossips.

Our curiosities were cleared soon after as someone bursts through the doors. “Logan! Logan’s here!” Approximately half the class bolted out the large double doors of the auditorium only to come back in after Logan together with his prideful strides comes into the hall. The massive crowd follows him in but Logan whispered something to his bodyguards and the bodyguards ushered the fan girls out. Order was (kind of) restored. The only people left in the auditorium were the people in charge of the Heist play.

“Hey guys, great job on the play so far! I’m just here to check on how everything’s going.” Omg! Logan’s voice is light yet charming! My heart’s about to melt!

“Kisa is in love\~! Kisa is in love\~!” Sheila teased in a singsong voice. “We’re the same person! If I’m in love, you’re in love!” I whispered back at Sheila only to receive a playful giggle.

Logan spoke again, “Is anyone in this class called...” He pauses for a moment while scanning faces in the room. I can already feel the girls beaming with anticipation, hoping it’s them that Logan wants to see, while the boys were all making ‘tsk!’ sounds like he was robbing their girlfriends.

Just then, Gina grabs Logan’s left arm. This scene shocked us all. Gina was the class’s most beautiful and pretty girl, not only is her reputation fantastic, but she also comes from a rich family, the Lou family. Gina however, has rock bottom E.Q. and rumor has it that she slept with numerous men. Despite all these, she amazingly still owns a mountain of love letters which she cold-heartedly ignores. Most boys who confessed their love to her has their pride stolen from them as she nonchalantly dismisses them, while those who get past this stage are in the relationship for no more than two weeks. She is Gina Lou, aka Ice Queen, shatter-er of hearts.

Gina ignores us and continues, “Mr Huntley wants to see the leader of all this right? That’ll be me, I’m Gina Lou.” I could hear a myriad of whispered insults with my fox ears such as B*tch! How dare she?! and the most common of them all,That should be me that’s standing there!

Logan just shook off of her grasp and smiles, “Actually, the person I want to see is Kisa Su, is she here?”
