Charlotte left her presence and asked around and no one is ready to join drama and she decided to ask Adam. And she saw Princess beside her talking to him

"Excuse me Adam,"said Charlotte

"Really why don't you join dancing group."asked Charlotte looking at him anticipated

"Nah I don't want to,"replied Adam unfortunately

"Uhmnmm,"said Charlotte

"Yeah,"said Adam

"I'm joining drama and wanted to ask if you'd like to join," said Charlotte unfortunately and quickly added "It's fine if you don't want to join, Adam." said Charlotte and turned to walk away

"Drama?"asked Adam again

"Yes, drama!"replied Charlotte and she turned back

"I think it'll be interesting if I join drama," said Adam after a thought

"Yeah to showcase your talent,,"replied Charlotte smiling

"Uhmnmm," mumbled Princess quietly and she was vex inwardly

"Is that a Yes?"asked Charlotte, her eyes fixed on him

"Yes, I'll be glad to join Charlotte,"said Adam

"Thanks Adam we need to find others and start rehearsal immediately,"replied Charlotte

Princess had came to Adam's seat in order to cajole him to join dancing group because she liked dancing and she wished Adam would be her dancing partner and also to make mockery of Charlotte in return. She decided not to give Charlotte the chance to act along side with Adam only and she turned and said

"Can I join Charlotte,"said Princess in a pleading tone. Charlotte was silent and contemplating if to allow her join the drama group because of what happened at the pool

"Can I join please, I can perform seriously,"said Princess pretending

"This is a competition event and I don't want anything that would make us loose." replied Charlotte frankly

"I know just give me a trial," replied Princess begging

"Okay, let's go," Charlotte turned to Adam and the three of them went to search for other people who will join the drama group.

Vivian Andrew met with other people for the music class and she was talking with the crew and suddenly someone interrupted them.

"Excuse me every one,"said Caleb

"Caleb," said Vivian startled

"Vivian,"said Caleb looking most handsome and fresh and the other students were eavesdropping about him

"Caleb," said first looking at him in a flirting way

"Hi,"replied Caleb softly

"Excuse me,"said Vivian suddenly and she pushed him to the door way

"Are you sending me away,"asked Caleb startled

"We're practicing, can't you see ?"

"I came to join the group,"said Caleb

"Oh,"asked Vivian mockery

"The event is for all classes, both art and science so no discrimination,"said Caleb upset

"I know, so what do you want?"asked Vivian looking at him astonished

"I'm here to join the club,"said Caleb

"Really?"asked Vivian

"Yeah "replied Caleb

"Can you sing, cause this really means a lot to me and I don't want us to fail the competition,"said Vivian sternly

"Uhmnmm, I know and it means something to me too,"replied Caleb frankly

"Uhmnmm,"she said

"Yeah,"he said

"Okay let's go and meet others," said Vivian after a thought, and they moved closer to the other students
