Chapter 10: Preparations #1
No One's POV
Everybody from distinct classes are united at the playground for another meeting. Mr. Adam Lozank is on the platform, speaking.
"Next Tuesday will be the class assembly. It will be an assembly to not just to entertain but also to express your thanks to the entire school and your parents. So you have to give your best!... Actually, all in each class will have at least a part to do in the assembly." he finally stated.
*Recess*
Kendra's POV (In Phil)
I can't believe a janitor locked the rooftop door and left me staying here in this fiasco. Philanthropy is the solely place for me to preserve my secrets without my favorite spot... I think. Ugh!... Why does the entire room gets a part? "Hate my life". That's my saying. Hate me too. Anyway, I'm half asleep. Yes. I'm torpid. I don't care.
"You know you're a great singer, right?" I opened my eyes and happened to be singing in front of DR (Diane Rainshine). Crap. I didn't know my mouth is moving itself. I swiftly silent myself granting her to smirk. She understood how I feel when it comes to good compliments. They're painful. She's sorta informing it to take her payback earlier last Nov. 2. Then, as if reading my mind, she added.
"If you're about me getting my vengeance for the call before, I'm not. I'm not much of a revengeful person. To be honest, you're seriously——"
I ran off when she's about to say her final word. I can't believe I let singing take over me. Now one of my secrets it's relieved. Ugh... I'm never gonna enjoy this.
*After the break*
We're settling on what we're going to do on the assembly by groups. Most of them are groups and a few are individuals. Except for the hosts. The main topic of the groups are dancing and singing. Kesh. The individuals are promptly filled so I have no choice but to from the choose from the 4 dancing and 2 singing groups. I don't like dancing 'cuz it isn't my style. Plus, 1 group is loaded by BTS fans (Andrew is the only male), the next is completed by boys, another are males too yet had a little gay-ish character then girls with Rob, the solitary boy and cannot immediately do the steps correctly. Now, it's either Jam's team or Shawn's. If I join J's then they would make me mingle with them. That's... what I'm avoiding. I'll just go to SS' (Shawn Scapream). I'm the only female though. The teacher asked me if I can sing and I lied, saying "No." I thought I was free but she asked the whole class if I'm a fine vocalist and to lift their hand if I am. I'm facing at the front door that I can't see my mates' response. Besides, even if I look, it's clear that there is no hand that's raised. I faced at the class since curiosity took over and to my surprise, there's a lot who raised. That includes the mischievous Diane. I critically would've punch her by now. She's freaking annoying!!! Like she's second Halia.
I realized Yas (Yasmine) is covering her mouth with her hand as she Snickers. She's the third. We've known each other the past 2 weeks. How? She told me she heard our conversation with Jeon's girl that we get to talk about it then random stuff after that. I found out that she's greenminded the following day after she whispered "cringe" at my ear while we're sneakingly observing Jill's weird dance. Unfortunately, she caught us but chased me. Me! Not Yas. She's super unfair. Anyhow, I convinced ma'am that there are singers already so I'll play as a guitarist. It's a private discussion meaning no one knew. Mrs. Hazel accepted my conviction and everything's final. Here are the positions:
MC's/Hosts: Zyanna & Maynard
Opening Prayer: Jess
Opening Remarks: Athena
/BTS/ Dance Group #1: Thea, Moira, Diane, Cyrilla, Aquila & Andrew
Dance Group #2: Martha, Isabelle, Alexia, Maegan &Rob

Singing Group #2: Jam, Daphnie, Chloe, Laiza, Jelliane, Zoe & Cassandra

Closing Prayer: Yasmine
Now that's done, we immediately went to practice. Rufino, Shawn & me are the guitarists which Shawn never knew I am one. Cydney & Sarge are the beatboxers and Ethan & Sebastian are the singers... Correction. All of us became singers. Teacher don't mind any of it so it's fine. At least I'm gonna sing with the others. Our song was "Dying Inside" by Darren Espanto but I suggested "Photograph" by Ed Sheeran instead. My fellow members agreed because it best fits the event. Yet, Rufino wants to do "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran to enlighten the audience. Looks fun... but we can only play one song. Everyone took their votes and it ended up being a tie. And guess what? I'm the tiebreaker. Since I didn't vote. Let's just get this over with. The last that I remembered is that our classmates joined in singing "Perfect" and that everytime on the chorus part, they're changing "dancing into the dark" into "dancing into the sun". Like making fun of it literally and intentionally. I hate that to happen again 'cuz once it gets to music, I respect it. Hence, I closed "Photograph".
We then commenced on editing our place for the song that mostly there are individuals singing. Verse 1 & Pre - chorus 1 is Shawn's, Verse 2 is Rufino's, Pre - chorus 2 is Ethan's, Choruses are for all of us also the Bridges and the Ending is for Sebastian. Thank God I don't have a solo.
Since we don't have our instruments yet, we practiced on singing but due to distractions, some never get a turn. So we just have breaks for today. Scapream wants to perceive what type of guitar we have. I lied saying that I don't know 'cuz Fernando is a chick - guitar. You won't understand.
And now we're on break, I'm checking on the other groups. See how they're doing. Andrew's skipping practice, permitting Thea to burst a little. She's actually the leader and has more ideas on choreography than the rest. Isabelle's and Brandon's dance group are doing fine. Ken, one of the newbs (he's half - japanese), is getting a 'bit frustrated on teaching Jay. I can tell. The Quote Boys are dispersed all over the place. I hope they can finish their task before next Tuesday. Jam's singing group is even fine. Just some don't care and minding their own business. The MC's are making a draft same goes to the other individuals. Aside from creating drafts, Jill, Yasmine and Jessica are having fun. Playing games like tag, I think. Me? I'm back on my seat feeling bored. I kinda thought of drawing like the guy beside me. Meh...
*The following day*
I've brought dad's (and now mine) Fernando guitar in school, bagged with it's own case. It doesn't catched that much attention so the atmosphere is fine. Also inside the classroom. Thinking of giving the guitar a short whirl, I took it out of it's bag and sat down by the classroom's wall outside. I tuned the stringed instrument using it's tuner system's guidance and the sounds are still a ok.
(A/N: Turn the music on!)
Since I don't want to sing in school or anywhere else, I wanna do an instrumental. Just for a warm up.
About a half completion of the song, nobody notices me playing. Goodness; however, about 3/4 completion, I felt someone watching me. Uh...oh...
(A/N: You can continue hearing the music if you want to)
"Aww... Why did ya stop?" pouted the person on my left as I instantly paused. "The music was beautiful."
"Who cares?" I responded, going back inside with Fernando followed by her. Does everyone keeps distracting me?... Yes. Yes, they do.
*Timeskip*
"Alright, class!" our teacher called. "Start practicing and I'll see what you have accomplished in the afternoon."
Oh boy. I head over to my group with my guitar inside it's case, seeing them getting ready. They didn't seem to notice so I brought the guitar out of the bag. Again, they didn't notice. I tuned the stringed-instrument and every string is still in it's proper sound. Since we're not yet practicing, I wanna lighten up my mood a bit. I then started plucking the song, "True Colors" by Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake. Later, everything disappeared as I only listened to the music I'm playing. Not too long that I felt like someone's watching me. I immediately paused and see if there is... Dang it. I missed.
I looked at my members and they signaled it's practice time. With just like a short amount of time, Shawn said we have to take a break. I mean, we just practiced once. Meh. I don't care. I wanna watch the others anyway. I'm somehow interested with the BTS dance group which is the only one practicing right now.
I sat by the chair of Aquila's since the armies are training by the door. With my guitar resting on my foot, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I faced at my left seeing the same person this morning, Laiza Go.
"Hey. Can I borrow your guitar?" she asked. "I wanna practice and you're gonna help me."
I blinked and handed my instrument. As she practice the song "All of Me" by John Legend, I watch the fan group and teach Laiza when I'm called. And again, I felt that there's someone staring at me while I'm teaching the beginner. It seems like that person if from the dance group.
