"Good morning, everyone! I'm so sorry for being late!" Nate suddenly made his entrance, while gasping for breath. "You're not that late, Nate. We're still doing warm ups." the old director reassures him. "Thank you, Sir." Nate heaved a sigh of relief. Then afterwards, he walks towards his cast mates to join them. "Celine isn't here yet?" Nate asked everyone, while looking worried. "Yeah. Maybe she overslept?" Nick did a wild guess. Nate's brows met in a curious frown when he saw Gale giving him a challenging stare. He doesn't have any idea on why he's looking at him like that... =========================== Twenty minutes have passed, but Celine is still missing in action. But the Director still went ahead with their rehearsals, as scheduled. "Today, we're going to discuss the list of songs for our musical play. Next week, a pianist will be here so that we can start with your vocal rehearsals." Director Alford informs everyone on what they will be expecting at the rehearsals ne
Celine and Nick finally reaches the small town of Walnut Creek. They were greeted by the gust of winter wind, as if they are being welcomed. "So, where are you going now?" Nick suddenly asks Celine. "I'm going to my parent's farm, which is called the Montecarlo farm. How about you? Where are you going?" Celine asked in return. "Oh, I'm going to my grandparent's place." Nick smilingly answers. "Let's have fun on our holiday vacation, okay?" Celine was ready to say goodbye. "See you at the rehearsals after the holidays." Nick nodded in return. They were about to part their ways when Celine heard someone calling her name. "Celine!" Celine smiled when she saw Sally, and her brother Simon, who both steps out from the pick-up truck. Sally excitedly ran towards Celine. "Sally and Simon! I'm glad to see you again after a long time!" Celine happily greeted her childhood friends. But instead of answering Celine, Sally's attention instantly focused on Nick. "Who is he, Celine?" Sal
As the night deepens, Celine is still unable to sleep. She decided to get up, walk out from her room and decided to warm up some milk so that she can relax and feel sleepy. And coincidentally, Celine caught Nick as well, drinking one mug of milk. They are now enjoying their own mugs of milk , while chatting to each other "What would you feel after the Finale night, Celine?" Nick suddenly asks Celine, out of the blue. "Of course, I'll feel sad." commented Celine. "Me too. I mean, I know the boys have been fooling around and we sometimes get irritated with each other but we're still a family." Nick suddenly became serious. "I agree with you. But even if the play is over, we're still friends, right?" said Celine. "Absolutely! Nothing will change..." Nick reassures Celine. Celine suddenly changes her mind about Nick. He can be a clown especially when he is with Nate, Gale and Justin, but deep inside, he can be a warm, kind and gentle person... ============================ The n
The next day. Only two weeks before the Gala Night starts, Director Alford called for a meeting. It was obvious that all of the cast members are under real pressure now. "We're almost at the end of the race, and now we're going to work harder that before. But first, let me give you a good news." the Director announced, as he unrolls a medium-sized poster. All of the cast lets out a gasp of surprise and excitement. It was their official poster for the musical play, and it looks absolutely impressive and amazing! "We're also sending the tickets at the participating outlets. We really have to give our best shot. But for the meantime, guys.We need to put up these posters around the area. And be sure to ask permission to the authorized person before putting up the posters. Is that clear?" the old director asked for everyone's approval. "Yes, sir!" everyone said in unison. "Celine, do you want to pair up with me?" Justin asked her with a smile. "Sure!" Celine smiles back, as she's
At Drew's apartment. "Are you sure you're alright, Drew? Do you think it's better to see a doctor?" Erika worriedly asks Drew. "Erika, stop worrying. I was able to jump out on the last minute." Drew reassures her, as he went to the fridge to get them some drinks. "Well, that's a relief." Erika said, sounding suddenly tired and weary. At the same time, Drew suddenly made a mental flashback on what happened awhile ago... Everything happened so fast, and he's just thankful because nothing happened to him. It feels like a deja vu, as the same thing happened to him few years ago... Drew finally made a decision, and he wants Erika to hear about it. "Erika." he calls for her attention. Erika snaps her head up and stared at Drew. "Hmm?" she asks, waiting for him to speak again. "I'm leaving as soon as possible. I don't want to get involve with any musical plays and stage plays from now on."
FINALLY, the Championship game between Waldorf High and St.Charles Highschool is finally over. The basketball court is almost empty, except for some members of the basketball team. Angela is sad because their school did not get the Championship title. Their rival, St. Charles High, won in the end. She's overwhelmed with so much emotions right now. This is the day she has been waiting for the most. This is the day she will confess his true feelings to someone that she has secretly loved for a long time. "Goodluck with your confession today, Angela. Don't you dare chicken out on a the last minute, okay?" Angela snaps out from her reverie when she heard Sarah's voice behind her. Sarah's been her bestfriend for a year already. They started being best of friends during their freshmen year, up until their current sophomore year... "I'm actually nervous right now, Sarah." admitted Angela. "You can do it. This i
Angela carefully checks the contents inside her bag. She's making sure that she didn't forget all the important things that she needs to bring to school. This is a big day for her because this is the day that she has been waiting for. She was chosen by their Professor and her classmates to be the representative of their class for the History Quiz Olympiad where she will compete against other students from different sections. She studied like crazy for a month, and she tried her best not to give in to any distractions. She's aiming for a victory, as she wants all of her teachers and classmates to be proud of her. And she also want to show all the girl bullies in her school that being smart is more important than having a physical beauty. She used to think that bullying and harassment only happens in the movies, but unfortunately, it also happens in real life. She's been a victim of verbal bullying since her freshman year in College, and s
Because of Kent's three-pointer shot, their school's score went up again, and in the end, their basketball team won the Basketball Competition. It was almost like a sure win... She can't really explain why, but she just couldn't take her eyes of Kent Cervantes. They sometimes attend same classes and she doesn't really care about him. Angela considers Kent as her rival, especially when it comes to their school's academic rankings. Kent is a scholar, and an athlete and at the same time, he is on the top rank. The two of them consistently tries to take over each other when it comes to academics. Kent is not just the usual golden boy with good looks and athletic skills but he got amazing brains as well. Angela is being challenged by him, and that's why she's studying extra hard. She doesn't want to be easily taken over by others, most especially by Kent. She can't let her guard down, and she needs to beat him!
