~Clarissa's p.o.v~
It was just another normal Chemistry class with Mr.Grant, but an Irish voice coming through our intercome made my day, "Hey guys it's Dathi here and may I request for all those who joined the auditions to please come to Mr.Fong's office now?" I jumped a bit in my seat and looked at our teacher who nodded in agreement and we hopped out of our seats and walked over to Evan's office.
On the way, I was talking to Cecile; she seemed really nervous on joining, thinking her amazing voice was bad! I mean, come on! Out of the corner of my eye I saw Cempaka talking to Siyona. I pretended to gag a little and Cecile laughed under her breath. We reached Evan's office and walked in, "ALRIGHT!" He started, startling me a bit; "there has been a change in the selections..." he let out a chuckle when he saw all our sad faces.
"Now now, its not a bad change~" he purred, "all of you are selected!" We all cheered and clapped our hands, "But...you guys will have to work in pairs. And I will be selecting those pairs!" He stated, I gulped and bit my lip; fingers crossed behind my back and in my mind I was chanting loudly. 'Please not Cempaka please not Cempaka please not....' "Clarissa and Cempaka!" Evan paired and I dropped my face into my palms while Cempaka stamped her foot on the floor, generating a large THUMP sound.
"There has to be a MISTAKE!" She cried, "I. HATE. HER." "And so do I!" I shot back at her, smirking at my victory. "Cempaka Ixora. Clarissa De Souza. Stay back after this, I want to talk with you both." Mr.Fong commanded and we both zipped our mouths shut as he picked off the other pairs.
--10 minutes later--
The rest of them went back to class. It was just me and her. I looked around as I heard the opening of a door, "Cempaka and Clarissa, I wasnt the one who picked who partnered with who, " he paused with a small smirk plastered on his face. Oh how I would love to do something that would remove that little smirk; "Would you like to know who were the teachers who partnered you two up?" We both nodded our heads impatiently. A bit too impatiently...
"Both of you." Mr.Fong called, "Come in now." And we both heard the door creak without oil or grease; we were about to turn around to see who in the right mind would partner US together when our eyes were covered. A medium-pitched voice came near to my ear, "Boo." His warm breath flew onto my ear. I couldnt help it; it was ticklish and I felt a smile creep onto my face. "Hi Mr.Lester." I mumbled, unamused; a bit more considering he was my favourite teacher. At the same time, I heard Evan leave the room and Cemapaka talking to our music teacher.
"Awwh, come on Clarissa please dont be angry~" Phil cooed, but I still kept my face in a pout. "Come on, follow me. I wanna show you something!" He laughed excitedly and shook me a bit; I stumbled out of the office with my small wrist in his hand. He brought me to his room.
"Phil!!" I whined, "Did you actually set this up??" He nodded, "Yeah. We wanted you to work together instead of fighting all the time." He answered simply, "We? You, Mr.Joel; thats all?" I wondered out loud. "And mwah!" David strutted into the room like a cat on skates. "Whyyyyyy"
"Because if ye two work together ye might become friends. If ye two become friends then, then, then.." He stuttered, "Then?" Phil laughed, "Then we wont have to break up anymore of dem fights." He smiled. There was this weird silence and then we all started laughing so hard.
"So...." I breathed out as I regained composure and my ability to speak; "How're we supposed to do 'this'?" I asked, looking up to the two 6"+ males infront of me. "Thats up to you dear, Mr.Cook and Mr.Joel have already informed Cempaka by now I guess." I smiled a bit, "O-Kay! Better go get your lunch; mushy peas today!" We laughed and I headed out.
As I was walking around looking for my friends I ran straight into Cempaka, knocking the wind out of borh of us.
