Their preparation for their first task has already started. We, the master teachers, are allowing them to practice wherever they want, as long as it's within the school grounds. They only come to us by group to take attendance, we're just here in our office.

Iris' PoV
I went around the entire school, observing all the students as they prepared for their first task. Then I saw Harrison doing the same. I approached him, but he seemed too focused on observing that he didn’t notice me.
"What's so interesting? Why are you looking at the students like that?" I started talking. He was startled when I spoke — he really was that focused.
"Ms. Chen" was all he managed to say.
"Have you done what I asked you to do?" I asked him.
"I’ve done it, I’m just waiting for their response" he answered.
"Okay, since you're also observing like I am, you need to report to me anyone you notice who deserves the school's attention. I know you're not biased" I said before I left him. He just responded "Yes, Miss."

Melody's PoV
We’re already practicing for our first task, and my role is a backup dancer. I just let my group mates take the lead in this performance.
While we were practicing, my eyes caught Mr. Harrison and Ms. Iris talking on the second floor. We were positioned in the hallway, and from there, the second floor was visible.
When Ms. Iris left, Mr. Harrison and I made eye contact, but he quickly looked away and walked off. I got scared because he might think I’m a gossip or that I’m trying to find out what they were talking about.
"Dylan" I heard someone call his name, so I looked toward the direction the voice came from. And found out that was Drake's voice. Drake approached Dylan. And I was just watching them having their conversation.
"Melody, what else are you looking at? You should be practicing" one of my group mates bring my attention back to what we were doing.
"Sorry" I apologize and went back to practice.

Tina's PoV
I saw the way Mel looking at Dylan, I recognized that look on her eyes. Those are the looks she gives when she wants to do or make something happen. But I’m not sure if it’s the same look she gives when liking someone.
I looked in Dylan’s direction. I won’t allow them to have a chance to like each other; I won’t let that happen, not on my watch.

Drake's PoV
I'm in the same group with Dylan, I was assigned for the choreography and he will be the one singing.
"Are you sure about that?" Dylan asked me. I hesitated to answer him, that's why I pull him over in a corner to talk so that no one would hear our conversation.
"I am" I said when we reached the corner side.
"Those two really can't be trusted" Dylan said.
We were talking about Reed and Chris because we chose the same song for the task. But we were the ones who picked it first. When the four of us were talking, we already told them that, and at that time, they hadn’t chosen a song yet.
"What do we do now?" I asked.
Even though we're in the same group, those two never really saw us as friends or allies — only as competition. And now, they have the chance to show it openly.
"They want competition against us? Then let’s give it to them" Dylan said. We then approached our group to discuss about our performance again.

Debi's PoV
It was lunch break. We finished practicing before Mel and Taiko, so we just waited for them in the cafeteria. Rix and I had already ordered and found a spot for the four of us to eat. Rix and I were laughing when the two arrived, already carrying their food.
"You guys seem to be enjoying yourselve, why are you so happy?" Taiko asked as she sits down.
"Just some funny videos, how's your practice going on?" I said.
"It’s alright. I’m only assigned to play the piano, so I won’t be that much in the spotlight on stage." Taiko said.
"As for me, it’s okay too, since I’m just a backup dancer. How about you guys?" Mel said.
"I'm also a backup dancer and Rix will be playing the piano as well" I said.
"But it was your idea, so why aren't you taking the lead, you could be the main dancer" Mel said to me.
"That's not really my idea, remember it was Rix's. It's alright by me actually, it's only just our first task, there will a lot of more to go" I said.
"Rix, is that the packed meal your grandma cooked for you?" Taiko asked Rix pointing at the food in Rix's lunch box. He ordered food but he also had a packed meal. He ate a lot, believe me, but he's not fat, he's still fit.
"Can I have some?" Mel said.
"Me too" I said.
"I didn’t ask for nothing — I was hoping to get a taste too. Is that okay?" Taiko said.
"Of course" he happily respond. He gave us the packed food he brought, and we immediately tried it. Wow, its delicious!
"Wahh, your grandma is a chef goddess" Mel said.
"Yeah, I hope we get to know her." Taiko said.
"Why not? If you don’t have plans on Saturday, you can come over to our house" Rix said. We immediately looked at him.
"Really, we can?" I asked.
"Yeah, we're friends now, right?" Rix said.
The three of us were surprised when Mel grabbed Rix’s face with both hands and moved it repeatedly to the right and left, making Rix look like a child. We looked at Mel. When she realized what she did, she removed his hands on Rix's face and smile before saying anything.
"Sorry, that’s what I do when I get happily excited, I hold their face or I hugged them" Mel said.
"Hugging is acceptable, but holding someone's face like that. Well, that's a weird habit" I said.
"If I'm your man and I saw you doing that to other guys, I'd be jealous" Rix jokingly said. The four of us just laughed.

Dylan's PoV
We just had finished discussing our performance all over again. Drake and I just arrived in the cafeteria.
I scanned around, looking for available seats when my eyes caught sight of Cake Girl holding the face of the guy she defended from Reed on the first day of class.
What is she doing? Why is she playing with his face in public places like this?
I don't know but I got pissed off and decided to leave.
"Where are you going?" Drake asked me.
"I lost my appetite. I’ll just wait for you guys at our practice spot" I just said to him and I left him there.
