A trainee first day

A chance, huh? He obviously said it to get my attention, and he got it. Right now, I'm anxiously waiting for the training.

That's what I was thinking on my way to school, and my mind was racing, imagining my day as a trainee.

I sat down, not even giving a look to the person who sat behind me. I didn't do it on purpose, but I was just too distracted with my daydreaming.

I felt someone poking my shoulder, I knew who it was, so I looked back.

A beauty looking at me, her glasses, well brushed long shag haircut. Looking at her angry face, I almost smirked, but I hold it to myself.

— So, why are you ignoring me? — Julia said, looking at me, her expression feels bitter.

I looked at her, and she seemed upset, and I can understand why.

We haven't talked much since 'that day', and now she sees me ignoring her, it's not strange if she thinks I am doing it on purpose.

— Sorry, I was daydreaming just now. — I said with a guilty expression and then gave her a beaming smile.

I know that my eye-catching looks will make her forgive me, that's the good part of being such a pleasure to everyone's eye.

To be honest, It's not that I avoided talking to her, but I was too busy with the play and practicing, so things just happened.

— Humph, you should not ignore such a pretty girl like me. — She said, her cheeks flushing, and frowning.

She's really cute when she gets upset, but I can't say it or I'll get a punch right on my handsome face.

— I'm your only friend, and you know it. — She said, she didn't want to be mean, but that's the way it sounded.

— He-he — I chuckled, I had no idea on how to answer her.

To be honest, I really don't know why my only friend is Julia, actually, I have another one, but she's not from my class.

— Sor... — She tried to say something, but her voice didn't come out from her mouth.

— So, why have you been ignoring me? — She said, trying to pretend those words she said never happened.

I felt an urge to laugh, but I hold with all my strength, which is near to zero, so, soon I burst into laughter.

— Why are you laughing? — She said, raising her eyebrow, and staring me like if I was a weirdo.

I'm not a weirdo, ok? How can someone dazzling like me be a weirdo?

[~Yes, you're a weirdo.]

Shut up, system. Actually, you don't speak, so… Write up? Ahhhh, why am I talking to a blue screen? I

[See? …]

Damn it, why a blue screen is so ironic?

— Never mind, I just thought about a good joke. — I said, trying to avoid saying I laughed because she was shy.

She gazed me with killing eyes, she knew I was lying, but she didn't force me to tell her the truth, maybe she knows, maybe not.

Then we talked about the exam that will happen next month and decided to study together, she said she's not good at math, so I am glad to help her.

After this, the teacher walked in the class and the class started.

----------------------------------------------

[Chain quest: Second step to the show biz.]

[Description: You had a hard time trying to pass such low level test, but gladly you have the system to help you. Now, it's time to go even further in the way to success. You need to be chosen as one of the two people to audit for the movie]

[Fail punishment: System being shut down]

[Reward: none]

Wait, this is too outrageous, why the penalty is system being shut down, but if I succeed I get no reward, are you serious?

[He-he, I'm just kidding host, you don't need to be so serious.]

[Reward: Dark room]

This damn system, and what in the hell is dark room?

[I can't say much, but I'll asure you that you never got something greater than it]

Now I'm curious about what this reward will be, I hope the system isn't just deceiving me.

Although even without this punishment I'd do things the same way, but seriously, who uses punishment in a system? Damn, administrator.

While I was absent-minded I reached my destination, Miller's company, a place that I'll be visiting frequently.

I went to where Mr. Miller said I should go, and waited someone come in.

After about thirty minutes, the door opened, and someone I never even thought of the possibility of being here showed up.

— Jesse? What are you doing here? — I said, I found no words to express how shocked I am, so that was the only thing I could say.

She came in carrying a bag, but she dropped it out of shock when she saw me. Her moth was wide open in a '0' shape.

— Brian's father called me for a test after the play. — She took a long time to say it, seems like she's shocked too.

If we think about it, it's not strange that Mr. Lee invited both of us, we are two of the most talented of our age, so it's obvious he would call us both.

It's not some kind of arrogance, I have the system, so I'm sure I'll find my way to success, and Jesse is one of the most talented person I've seen in my life.

She saw that I was in shock too, so she just sat at my side, and we talked about how the test went for both of us.

— Seems like we've gone through similar things, huh? — I said, I've listened her talking about how things went, and I was really surprised that she went to something similar to my situation.

After this, I said everything that happened in my test for being a trainee.

— Well... — She was speechless.

— Seems like we're going to be together for a long time. — She said something that's easily misunderstood and smiled to me.

My heart skipped a beat seeing her smiling to me, but I had no time to enjoy her prettiness.

*Whistle* *Whistle*

I heard someone whistling, you know what kind of whistle I'm referring.

That irritating whistle we do whenever we see a couple acting cute or something similar.

I looked to the owner of such annoying whistle.

It was a good-looking man, in his 30s, red tinted hair, a little black reamer in his right ear, using a simple white shirt, blue jeans pants and black sneakers.

— I thought here would be the trainee class, not a dating show. — He said, his eyes were full of despise, looking at us.

— Mind your own business, old man. — I said, a vein about to burst in my head.

I had no romantic intent with Jesse, but this guy just pissed me off.

I dealt enough with bullying in the past, I know that if I back off now things will only worsen.

— What did you say, brat? — The guy seems to be hot-headed, like his hair.

— Are you deaf? You are really an old man. — I said, returning the mockery to him, I smiled in despise to him.

Then he ran and tried to punch me, I only replied his mocking, and he's starting a fight? Is he some kind of cultivation novel young master?

Seeing the man running to me, I used my dance skill, that I trained with all my sweat all these years.

His punch was about to hit my face, but I took a step back, and it just passed a centimeter away from hitting me.

He kept trying to hit me, but whenever he tried to, I always avoided it, I was sweating from the nerve-racking situation.

To the people around looking at that scene, it seemed I was in a waltz with his punches, whenever he was too close I'd go away, then he would come close again and the scene would repeat.

I could even hear him clenching his teeth, he was panting, his face was red like his hair, sweat all over his body.

Then, he looked around trying to find something to hit me, near him was a broom at the side of a broom closet. He grabbed the broom that at was at his side, then tried to hit me with it.

'I'm screwed' was the only thing I could think of when I saw it coming right at my face.
