Drama Club

Chapter 1 – Punishment From The Heavens?

"Did you hear?" one whispered. "About a student who arrived late right on the first day today?"

"Like, oh my god," the other said. "I can't believe it. That person shouldn't even be here then. What a disgrace."

Another chuckled, "I heard there were two of them."

"Who?"

"I don't know, but I know it was a boy and a girl."

"Maybe they were making out somewhere?"

"No way, if the both of them are first years, their ride probably was just late. We are on a island after all."

"Maybe," they all nodded.

Hilary sighed upon hearing the conversations behind her. I'm one of them. She thought to herself. It was not her fault for being late but she cannot tell anyone that either. Everyone who attends to Golden High have never had a student late before and this year was the first. Hey, I'm not the only one who was late. Hilary thought, smiling happily. Just as long she keep quiet about, no one will ever know.

All of the first years, including Hilary, were all standing in a big gym at nine in the morning. They were all lined up, the shortest in the front and the tallest in the back, in fourteen rows. The principle, Mr. Dickenson, was giving out a welcome speech for them over ten minutes now and some were starting to bob their heads up and down, getting rather sleepy.

"Starting tomorrow, classes will start!" Mr. Dickenson announced, finishing his speech. "But the first thing you all must do is find a club to join in because that is one of the requirements in being here. You can switch from club to club until you're satisfied, but at the end of your second year, you must hurry and pick one and stick with it until you graduate! Are we clear?" Some nodded, some were quiet, and some replied with a 'yes'. Mr. Dickenson nodded, pleased. "Alright then, then please report to your assign houses. The upperclassmen are all waiting for each and every one of you to meet them."

Hilary was one of the short students and was one of last people to leave the gym. All of the first years were all walking in the same directions when they all walked out of the school's ground, but Hilary went to take a different route. She sneaked around the trees that were around the school and checked to see if there were anyone around.

"Good… I see no one," she grinned. She quickly ran and ahead of her was a big pink suitcase and two pale green bags. "Thank god no one saw these…" she chuckled. When she had arrived late, she couldn't go and leave it at her assigned house because the welcome speech was going to begin. She had to leave them here and hopefully she can sneak into the house to make it look like her stuff had been there.

She grabbed her stuff and started to walk. When she looked around her surroundings to enjoy a bit of nature, she saw a guy taking a nap on a tree branch. The only thing she notices he was wearing is a scarf. A scarf in the middle of spring? Before thinking anything more than that, Hilary hurried away before he sees her and find out she's one of the late students.

It was Kai who is taking a nap, but then heard footsteps and opened one of his eyes. He looked at girl's back and the stuff that she's bringing along. Knowing what the girl must be trying to get out of sight, he did not say anything. He closed his eye and went back to his nap as the cool wind breeze carried her sweet scent back to him.

Hilary waited when everyone is not in sight and quickly ran in an alley. Let's see… my assigned house number is K-5… It should be around here. She thought.

Suddenly, she bumped into someone and caused the both of them to fall on the ground. "Ow!" the boy cried. "Watch where you're going!"

She sat up and looked at the boy with the cap. Under his cap is his blue hair. She glared, "I was watching where I was going. You're the one to blame!"

His eyes showed anger and they both stood up at the same time. "Hey, you're not even going to say sorry?" he glared.

"To someone like you?" she laughed a little and then glared back. "No way! It's you who have to do the apologizing!" She looked away and looked at the two big blue suitcases behind him. "…You're the one who was also late?"

He slightly blushed, embarrassed. But then when he looked around and saw her belongings, he smirked. "You too, huh?"

"Yo, Tyson," someone called from nearby. "Where did you run off too?"

"Oh no!" Hilary grabbed her stuff and ran away. She cannot let anyone else see her like this. She will become the talk of the school for four long years!

Tyson watched her go, thinking what she is doing, and turned around to a boy who had blond hair. "Hey, Max," Tyson smiled as his friend walked to him.

Hilary ran for quite a while now and she finally reached to the house that had a sign that says 'K-5'. All of the houses all look the same; light blue on the outside and the windows were green. She walked to the backyard of her assigned house and no one is around. She went to check if the back door is open or not and it's unlock. "Heaven's on my side today…" she quietly laughed, entering the house.

She was too excited and entered the kitchen. Just then, another girl walked into the kitchen and stared at Hilary. Time stopped. The unknown girl had black hair in high pigtails, which reached to her upper back, and she had gray eyes. Hilary nervously walked backwards when the other girl smirked. "I know who was the one who was late now!" she shouted in the house.

Hilary heard footsteps around the house and one girl came running into the kitchen with a big smile. "This one, huh?" she asked, her violet eyes sparking. She had dark red hair that is in a high ponytail, hanging down to her back.

"Um…" Hilary wanted to explain, but two more girls came walking in with clam faces. "I wasn't…" she started to sweat.

The girl with shoulder length blond hair looked older than the other girls and smiled at Hilary. "I see," she nodded to Hilary, her gentle green eyes seemed to smile also.

The other girl did not say anything. She had dark brown hair, a couple of braided hair on each side, the rest untied, and she had brown eyes.

"No, I'm…" Hilary nervously said.

"There's no need to hide it now!" the girl with the pigtails grabbed her hand. "My name is Amaya! What's yours?"

Hilary smiled, uneasy. "Um…"

Amaya played with her black hair and smirked. "I'll introduce everyone here to you! The girl with the ponytail is Yumeko. The girl with the four little braided hair is Terra. And the other girl, who is the oldest among us is April. We're all going to live together!"

That's too much names to remember for Hilary. She still feels nervous about them knowing that she was the student who arrived late and she wanted to make an excuse about it. But what came out of her mouth was, "I'm Hilary."

Terra, the one with the dark brown hair, turned to leave since the little knowing-who-the-student-who-was-late is over.

"Please don't tell anyone that it's me!" Hilary pleaded. The girls looked at her, even Terra.

"Sorry, I can't do that," Amaya said, dancing around the room and her black hair following her. "I like spreading the news around."

Hilary looked at the other girls, worrying. "I'll get pick on!" she cried.

Amaya had an idea and danced her way back to Hilary. "I know! Yumeko, didn't you say you girls are short on members for the club?" she asked the girl with the dark red hair in a ponytail.

Yumeko nodded, "Yes, why?"

"Hilary, if you want us to keep this secret," Amaya grabbed her arm. "Join our club! If you do, I promise not to tell anyone! How about it?"

April smiled, "That's not a bad idea, Amaya."

"…What kind of club?" Hilary asked, nearly whispering. She hoped it's not anything impossible for her. She did not like sports too much.

"It's not that hard," Yumeko said. "I'm sure you can pull it off. Hehe."

Hilary did not feel so comfortable about it more. They were all silent. She took this time and tried to memorize their faces and hairstyle. April is the one with blond hair and green eyes. Yumeko have dark red hair in high ponytail and violet eyes. Terra's hair is dark brown with four little braids, the rest untied, and she has brown eyes. Amaya's black hair in high pigtails and her dull gray eyes seem to shine.

Amaya pulled the three girls together and smiled brightly at Hilary. "The Drama Club," she chuckled.

Author's Note:

This is a high school, where the main language is English, for the rich teenagers to attend. This school is on a big island and has houses for the students to live in, that meaning they're away from home during school years and they have the options to return home for the summer.

My mind was going crazy with bunch of ideas and this was what I wanted to write. I sort of made this for fun, but I'm kind of serious about writing more. It's because the romance between Hilary and her soul mate hasn't even started yet.

Anyway… leave a review… or do whatever you want. If you have read this far, thank you!
