“....The She-Devil”

*

"What just happened?"Trip thought..Ken was just trying to help,why the harsh outburst.He wanted to explain to them that Ken meant no harm but just as he was about to speak the drama leader and the principal walked in

"What's going on here?"The leader glared at them.Students don't gather around like this except if there was a fight or a free show of talent

"Actually Sir,Bertha....."A student wanted to explain the whole ordeal to the principal and leader but he was pinched by one of Bertha minions..and Bertha interrupted him

"Actually Sir,we were just practicing"She glared at Christy"Right hun?"

Christy was so angry but no matter how angry she was she had to act along with Bertha or if the principal finds out that they were actually fighting they would be given detention and field work..The last thing Christy wants right now is to be in detention"Yes sir,we were just practicing"She smiled brightly

Principal laughed"Wow,wow,wow,Mr Malcolm, you've actually done it.If someone else saw the students,they would think that they were actually fighting"He tapped Mr Malcolm on his shoulders"If this is just a practice,I wonder how the performance on the main concert would be..I won't bother you to escort me back to my office..you can carry on"The principal stared at all of them,Laughed happily and left

Mr Malcolm was so happy that the principal praised him that he didn't even debate on the whole issue anymore "Alright, Alright you all can disperse,The show is over"He waved his hands to chase the students away.

He glanced at Trip direction "Oh Trip you are back.Well the female leads are here.. Bertha and Christy come over here"He introduced the two females to Trip

"Actually Sir, I've seen them around"He smiled with his eyes on Christy..He could really see the blazing anger in her eyes

On hearing that Mr Malcolm smiled"Okay since you know them,that's good.Tomorrow there will be a rehearsal competition between the two of them to choose your female lead..Go on,you guys can get chatty"He said that and left

"Are you okay?"He asked Christy..When she paid him no attention he walked towards her direction but she walked away

"Anna are you okay?"She patted and straightened her hair

"I'm Fine, Let's just leave here"She said with a smile but there was a glint of tears in her eyes.On seeing that, Christy felt a sting of pain..she was on the edge of crying but if she cried,who would Anna look upto to be brave

"Let's go"With that they left the Art hall.

Trip watched them go.For some reason,the fact that she walked out on him didn't make him feel pissed..He sighed at least the debacle was over

"Trip,Uhmm...My name is Bertha and I'm...."Her words hung on her throat as Trip sneered at her.

"Ken, let's get out of here.. tomorrow is another day"He didn't even pay her any attention or a second glance

Ken glanced at Bertha and her minions"I think you need to wipe out the blood stain on your lip..it's disgusting"

Bertha touched her lip and realised that he was right.."Thank you"She smiled at him

Trip and Ken left that Art hall too.

"Anna you are back,Thank you for signing me into that Arithmetic competition..it was fabulous..There was some math calculation I've been having troubles with but when I got there i....."She raised her head and stared at Anna.Something was wrong.

"What happened Anna"She patted her hair,she glanced at Christy "What happened Christy?"Tang Yan asked with worries in her eyes

Christy sat Anna down and urged Tang Yan to get her a glass of water.

"It was Bertha"Christy growled

"Bertha?,the She-Devil.but how did you guys come across her,our dorm and classes are in a different unit,so how did you guys come across each other?"Tang Yan knew something bad must have transpired.considering the past relationships between Bertha and Christy.

"It's all my fault"Anna broke down in tears..she covered her face with her eyes"If I didn't sign Christy into that drama group,she wouldn't have come across Bertha and made a spectacle out of herself"She cried harder

Christy sat by her side.she removed her hand from her face,wiped her tears"Hey,it's not your fault..you did it because you cared for me..So it's not your fault.. Tomorrow is the competition and I will make today's spectacle worth it okay?..So smile"She tried to ease Anna worries and luckily that worked.

Anna sat up and cleaned her tears"You are right..Tomorrow rehearsal needs to be worth it,Put her in her place tomorrow Christy.Enough of her looking down on you"Anna grabbed Christy's hands without hesitation

"Anna is right Christy..Put her in her place tomorrow"Tang Yan smiled at Christy and they had a group hug

"I love you guys"Christy smiled..

"We love you too"They replied her

"And boom,you are in the middle of a war zone.i can't believe that those two girls would actually be competing for the female lead..like damn!"Ken kept on thinking about the drama that transpired

"The other girl,she went too far"Trip said angrily

"Who Bertha, she's known for her bullying nature..You know what I keep thinking about,it's the other girl she slapped.You could clearly see the tears in her eyes but she just kept her tears in...I wonder what her name was"Ken shook his head

"Anna"

"Huh?,"

"You said you wonder what was the name of the girl that was slapped.well her name is Anna"Trip turned his chair to face Ken"Her name was Anna"He repeated himself

"Anna..Nice name"Ken smiled

"Remember you have someone you like.. don't go changing crushes right now"Trip chuckled

"Im not,I just wanted to know her name"

"Yeah right"..Trip turned off the lights and laid on his bed... Tomorrow is another day and he hopes it would go perfectly well.
