Shuffle. Shuffle. Shuffle

I dragged my feet on the cold, white ground of the school corridor. Today was the day of the presentation. I was in cold sweat. I know I was in trouble. And was Ryder. Harry did not know what was going on at all. He acted like he did not know there was a project all this while. I'm so sorry Karen.

When I reached the classroom, I hesitantly opened the door. I did not want to see Karen. But I had to. When my orbs met Karen's orbs, I gulped. Karen peered at me as I took the seat next to her. I honestly don't blame her. And her eyeliner she put looks exceptionally extraordinary today.

Karen peering at me:

Karen gave the same look to Ryder and Harry when they entered the classroom. Ryder looked like he was going to pee in his pants while Harry tried to ignore Karen. Miss Samantha shortly arrived and gave the class five minutes to get into our groups for some final preparations. Me, Ryder and Harry looked unsure as we approached Karen.

"So uh Karen, did you bring the slides?" I cautiously asked Karen.

Karen sighed and looked at us. She pulled out a chewed up thumb drive and said, "Yes, I had everything prepared but my dog chewed it. I don't know what to do anymore."

I stared at Karen in disbelief. For once I could believe that a dog destroyed somebody's homework. But the thing is, we have nothing to present! Unless, we act it out. Oh my goodness Emily, you are a genius. Filled with hope, I told everyone my plan. Karen was a little unsure but she agreed that was the only way to save our ourselves and our grades. When our group was called, we acted out the scenes.

We had a blast acting out the scenes. The class and Miss Samantha enjoyed our performance. There were times they burst out laughing because of our antics. Despite some exaggeration, we stuck to the plot and did not act out of character. I must admit, my group's acting was marvelous. I was mostly impressed by Karen. She would have no problem finding a job in Hollywood. 

Miss Samantha was so impressed with us that she asked what drove us to do a performance. Karen spoke up as she fished for her chewed up thumb drive and explained the situation. Miss Samantha did not say anything else except for an 'Oh' and facepalmed.

Miss Samantha's face when she saw the thumb drive:

After everyone in class finished their presentations, Miss Samantha told us to go to the school gym. It appears that there would be a surprise. I wonder what we have in store.

When we entered the gym, we were greeted by the fresh aroma of food. There was singers in the gym too. It appears that the singers were popular as girls started screaming "Bts" and "Bangtan boys". Apart from the boy brand, I spotted Lisa's older sister. She was performing a song and the boys were loving it. That's not all. There were also celebrities from different Korean dramas. Miss Samantha was looking very smug. Many of our classmates were too shock to ask her how did she arrange all of this.

Since this was a party, I decided to enjoy myself. I ate some food and listened to Lisa's sister's singing. Her voice was calming and smooth. Lisa introduced me to her sister. Her sister's name was Luka and her other friends who were performing sang absolutely stunning.

Luka and the other performers:

I enjoyed the performances. The vocaloids and the boy band performed together. It was absolutely stunning. I mean, their voices went well together and the choreography was fantastic.

After all the performances, it was time to say goodbye. It was so heartbreaking. Many of us cried when the celebrities had to leave. But alas, they promised to keep in touch in us and hopefully perform in our in the near future.

Suddenly, I heard people gasping loudly. The vocaloids, Bangtan Boys and celebrities turned their attention to the back of the gym where the drama was. There, at the back of the gym, was One Direction. The whole band including Harry was there. They were waving and giving their autographs to fans. Despite the fans, there were some people who were sneering at them in disgust, hissing and booing. Yeah.... They were some haters. According to Miss Samantha's face, One Direction was not supposed to appear. So, why were they here? In a school of all places.

The boys got up on the stage and beamed at everyone. Harry pulled out a mike from his jeans pocket and started to speak.

"Hello everyone, it's me, Harry. I'm no ordinary Harry. I'm the Harry from One Direction! So, I actually knew this party was going to occur so I invited my pals. I hope you won't mind their presence. Oh and, don't worry Miss Samantha! I didn't look at any personal information in your laptop!"

Instead of starting to lecture Harry, Miss Samantha just sighed, grabbed a can of Sprite and collapsed on a chair and took a nap. I suppose she wasn't in the mood to scold anyone.

The party was a blast! We were saddened by the fact that it had to end. I take back my words eight chapters before. Miss Samantha was the best teacher ever! Aw man, I feel bad for judging her so quickly. Moving on, the rest of the classes were a bore and I was elated when school was over. As I was about to walk home, Ryder told me he wants to show me something. Nodding my head, I let him drag me to the nearest Starbucks outlet.

We sat at the seat next to the window and stared into each other's orbs as we sipped our coffee. After the both of us finished the drinks, Ryder finally told me the important news. I was curious and millions of possibilities swarmed through my head. However, I did not expect Ryder to get onto his knees and proposed to me. I gasped and popped the nonexistent p. How could this be happening? I'm still in high school, I'm too young to get married! Oh wait...I'm twenty. Nonetheless, I agreed to the proposal and promised to marry Ryder right after high school.

Author's Note
I have some good news and bad news. The bad (this may good to some people) news is, this book is going to end. This is the second last chapter. But, don't go yet, there's more. There's going to be a sequel to this book! Don't worry, the next book is not going to be this cringy and you won't be seeing Emily and Ryder again! I'm not sure when I'll release the next book but it won't be anything soon. See you at the next chapter! Have a nice day!
