I stood up, dusted myself off and held my hand out to her; she hesitated at first but grabbed it, keeping her eyes anywhere but at me.
"Thanks.." she mumbled, "What was that?" I tormented, "I said Thanks!" She huffed and I laughed a bit; "Whats so funny?" She asked in an annoyed tone. "The fact that we hate each other and our favourite teachers put us together." I giggled causing her to just roll her eyes, "Whatever, lets just get this over with okay??" She offered, "Sure Cempaka."
We walked over to a place under a tree, it was beautiful; Cempaka had choosen it. I do despise her; I really do. Its just that now that we're working together on this song, I think it should be time for us to drop this childish play and focus for once.
~Cempaka's p.o.v~
I brought her here cause it calms me down, 'Maybe she won't be so bad..' I thought, but I quickly pushed that thought to the back of my head and looked at her with complete hatred; "Well?" I said scronfully. Whoever's winning this competition....ITLL BE ME AND ONLY ME.
~Clarissa's p.o.v~
"Well?" "Well what?" I asked her back, "any song ideas?" She asked but I just shook my head and closed my eyes. "What're you doing?" She questioned with annoyance lacing her voice; "Thinking" I shrugged; hearing her huff made me laugh.
--2 minutes later--
"I got it!" Cempaka shot up, I was honestly a bit disappointed that she beat me to a song at first but hey, I DID say I would drop it so...
"Lets hear it." I masked whatever annoyance in my voice and waited for her reply, "How about Evelyn, Evelyn?" She responded; snapping her fingers. "Sure, could you write down the lyrics and Ill go photocopy?" I asked; bracing myself for that: "No." but instead I got a different answer, "Sure!" She answered in happiness...?
--2 minutes--
"Done!" She cheered and I smiled at her; "Hand it to me, Ill be right back." I smiled at her and she nodded with determination. On the way I read through the lyrics over and over:

'Wow...' I exhaled a small breath that I didnt know I was holding. 'Thats deep, but its mesmerising..' I thought as I got it photocopied and jogged back over to Cempaka. "Hey." "Hai" We looked at each other at first in silence but then I broke the silence. "I got the photocopies done, could you, um..show me how Im supposed to sing it?" I asked unsure about whether I should be asking this or not. "Okay I will, but you must promise you'll practice." She sternly responded, flicking her index finger at me and tutting. I smiled and nodded, my eyes glistening as if they were coated in resin. "Okay.." she inhaled, "it goes like this.." and she started.
While she was singing I couldnt help but drift off. That voice reminded me of something, 'Thats it!' I suddenly remembered, 'She was the voice singing with me that day!! And I called her beautiful oh gosh..' I thought and proceeded to continue listening. She finished and smirked at me; handing the paper over, "Your turn, its my favourite song so dont you dare mock it." She tested seriously. 'Well, Ill make her find out who SHE was singing with as well' I thought as I began singing.
~Cempaka's p.o.v~
As Clarissa began singing a memory almost instantly made its way to my mind, SHE was singing with ME that day?!? Nonononono! It cant be..
~Clarissa's p.o.v~
I finished off the song and watched her shocked face carefully; trying ro decipher what she'll do next. "That day..." she said shocked, "Yes, it was both of us who were singing..." I sighed sadly. There was a moment of silence. "Well..at least we both sing well." Cempaka stated, I nodded and offered an idea; "Awesome, lets ask Mr.Fong first!" She agreed and we headed to his office.
--at his office--
"Mr.Fong?" I asked as I walked in, Cempaka not far behind; "Yes?" He looked up from his papers. "Can we act on stage for the singing thing as well?" Cempaka asked, "Act?" We nodded eagerly and hopefully, "Hmm..sure. Why not?" He answered and we both jumped with joy. "Thank you teacher!!" And we ran out, hearing a small sigh of happiness from Evan.
From that day we had practiced the acts and song as much as we could.
WE HAVE TO WIN THIS.
