Debi's POV
Taiko and I are already here at school, in our classroom, we are still waiting for Mel and the guy she defended yesterday. I saw them enter the room together. I approached them immediately.
"Mel" I said as I approached them both. "Wow, you guys are so close. Do you really know each other? You even arrived at the same time" I said.
"We just met at the gate" she said, "What's up?" she asked.
"Here's your handbook" I handed them their handbook and they took it.
"By the way, Debi this is Rix, and Rix this is Debi" Mel introduced me to the guy she defended yesterday. Rix and I shook hands and said "Hi" to each other.
Then Ms. Celine arrived so we sat down in our seats.
"Good morning everyone, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Celine Park and I am your Master Teacher" Ms. Celine introduced herself.
"I reviewed your performance during the audition, and I already have the list of your group mates here. I have divided you into eight groups with five members each" Ms. Celine said.
Ms. Celine has already called the group members and unfortunately Taiko and I are not in the same group but Rix is in my group so it's okay.
"Now go to your respective groups" Ms. Celine said and we immediately went to our group.
"You will be doing a group performance with a fantasy concept" Ms. Celine said "You will be given two weeks to prepare your presentations, you will compete against each other, and those with the highest evaluation score after the performance will receive a special reward" she added.
Someone raised their hand and asked "What's the reward?".
"That's a secret" Ms. Celine answered and then said "Start discussing in your group" then we started discussing in our group.

Dylan's POV
Time has passed and it's lunch time. Right after dismissal, the four of us headed straight to the cafeteria. We ordered at the counter, bought some food, and looked for a place to eat.
While we were eating, someone suddenly placed a piece of cake next to my plate so I looked to see who it was. She was the girl yesterday. I think I was really pissed off yesterday, I didn't even bother to notice that she's beautiful.
"I'm not here to cause trouble, this is my peace offering for what happened yesterday" she said to me.
"And you think we will accept that?" Reed said.
"This isn't for you, it's just for Dylan, he's the only one I've wronged" she said looking at Reed, then she looked at me again. I just ignored her and continued eating.
"I'm really sorry, I'll make up for what I did" she said.
It's not really a big deal to me, I already forgot about it. Before she could say another word, I interrupted first.
"It happened and that's over, so it's okay, so just leave me alone" I said. She didn't say anything and just left.
"You should have taken advantage of that, it seems like she'll do whatever you say" Drake said as soon as the girl left.
It was merely a distraction. Right now, I need to stay focused and work on getting my career back on track.

Melody's POV
I've returned to our spot. I really hope he’s not mad about what happened.
"So, what did he say?" Debi asked when I returned.
"He said, it happened and that's over, so it's okay, he want me to leave him alone" I answered.
"Let it be, he said it himself, so just forget what happened" Debi said.
"She's right, let's just focus on our first task. Has your group come up with any ideas yet?" Taiko said. That’s what we ended up discussing during lunch break.
------------------------------------------
Rix's POV
I listen to songs with a fantasy theme and I also watch performances with a fantasy theme as well. I'm just here inside our classroom.
"Hey" Debi suddenly appeared infront of me, she's with Melody and Taiko.
" Did you have lunch?" Melody asked me.
"Yes, I already had lunch, I ate here, I brought some food cooked by my grandmother" I answered.
Taiko looked at what I was doing and then she asked "Have you chosen anything for your presentation?".
"I've seen some but we still need to discuss about it as a group, Debi and I are in the same group" I said.
"Wow, I’m jealous — at least you guys already know each other somehow" Taiko said.
Debi has sat down beside me and said "You can leave us now, we'll talk about the task. Just do what you need to do."
"Wow, really Debi" Taiko said. They just left us and went to their seats.
"So, what's your idea, what did you find?" Debi asked me.We then started discussing about my idea.

Tina's POV
I waited for Dylan to come out of the men's bathroom. As soon as I saw him come out, I rushed to meet him. He stopped and looked at me.
"What?" He asked.
"I saw someone gave you a piece of cake during lunch, is she your fan?" I asked him.
"Whether she's my fan or not, that doesn't concern you" he said.
"It does, what if she approaches you and says she likes you? Just remember, we're on the same level as them now — we're all trainees here" I said.
"Don’t tell me you’re jealous or something, we’re not even a thing. We both know the agency is just pairing us up for show. And one more thing, did you even read the handbook that was given to us yesterday, it's included in the rules that it's forbidden to have relationship with fellow trainees." he said.
I couldn’t say anything, then he just left me. I’ve had feelings for Dylan for a long time, even though I know he doesn’t feel the same.
I’m afraid that he might develop feelings for Mel. A lot of people like her, and it’s possible that Dylan might end up liking her too. I don’t know if I can handle seeing that happen.
