The next day. Ren and their official choreographer, Richard, are both making their way towards the Gold Eagle Auditorium. This is the day where their real work starts, and this is going to be their first rehearsal for the upcoming concert."Are you ready to meet your dancers?" Richard suddenly asks Ren."Can't hardly wait." Ren smilingly replied. As soon as they steps inside the auditorium, all of the dancers enthusiastically greeted them."Good morning everyone! Are you all ready to hit the stage?" Ren greeted everyone."Yes, we are!" all of the dancers excitedly said in unison. "Alright then. Let's work hard and let's play hard!" Ren nodded in agreement.After a few moments, everyone is now on a serious mode as they learn the complicated dance steps...============================Later that night.The first day of their rehearsals is finally over. Ren decided to reserve
Ren stopped his Bentley at the side of the road which was quite far from the Grand Theater.He then turned his attention to Clarissa who was clearly nervous while sitting at the passenger's seat."Just relax, Clarissa. And besides, you don't have to worry because we haven't done anything wrong." Ren tries to calm her nerves."I know but I can't help myself but to feel nervous. I know Edward will be asking me lots of questions, and I'm not really good lying to other people." explained Clarissa."Okay, here's what we're going to do. You will go inside first, then afterwards, I'll go inside after five to ten minutes... And when they ask you how you got home last night, tell them you rented a taxi. Go ahead and enter the Grand Theater first because you might be late." stated Ren."Thanks a lot." Clarissa said goodbye, while looking grateful.Afterwards, she steps out from Ren's car and made her way to the Grand Theater.
"Oh.That was fast. Did he find out what happened to us last night?" asked Ren. Clarissa smiled sadly."Don't worry about it too much. That's not why we decided to split up. Apparently, he fell inlove with somebody else." she answered."I'm sorry to hear that. But are you okay?" Ren asks her again."Surprisingly, I'm more than okay. It may sound weird, but I feel more relieved when we broke up. Should I pretend to cry and be heartbroken?" Clarissa stated, in an amused manner.Without a warning, Ren suddenly lets out a bark of laughter."You never cease to amaze me, Clarissa. You're really one of a kind." he enunciated."Well, I'm glad I made you laugh." Clarissa said, while shrugging her shoulders."By the way, are you hungry? We can do a take out by going at the drive thru and eat while we're on the road." Ren suddenly suggested."Sure! I'm actually starving." Clarissa finally confesses with a smi
Clarissa arrived early at the rehearsal room the next day.She breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that she's the only person in the room. She decided to wake up early because she wants to practice alone.Anyway, she wasn't able to sleep well last night because of Edward, Victoria and Ren... She started warming up her whole body, and after a few minutes, Clarissa started dancing...She suddenly stopped moving when she saw someone entering the room. She groaned inwardly when she saw Edward and Victoria..."Great. Just like what I needed early in the morning." Clarissa muttered under her breath."Oh, you're here, Clarissa. Aren't you trying too hard eventhough you don't have a talent in dancing?" Victoria sarcastically spat out."Please stop being a bitch in the morning, Victoria. I'm not in the mood to fight you." Clarissa warned her."Victoria, stop it ---!" Edward wasn't able to finish what
Every female dancer starts to get excited after they heard Jun's announcement.Being able to be picked is a huge advantage and they can have an exposure...On the one hand, Clarissa is not too hopeful because it is obvious that Victoria will be chosen. As a professional dancer, she will not harbor any resentment towards Victoria if ever she was picked. She can clearly admit that she is the best dancer in their group.Meanwhile, Victoria gave out a big smile to everyone because she's absolutely sure that she will be personally picked by their choreographer."And now, I'm going to formally announce the dancer who will dance with Jason for his solo performance... We decided to pick Clarissa this time, and it was an unanimous decision." Jun suddenly announced.Clarissa held her breath in shock after they called her name. She can't believe that she was chosen! It was obvious that everyone is expecti
At a certain fastfood restaurant..."I'm really going into a monster-mode right now! Even if Edward doesn't say anything, he still cares about that bitch!" Victoria angrily muttered, as she slams her fists on the table.The other customers at the restaurant stared at her in surprise, but she doesn't give a damn about them. She is now raging in anger because she knows that her boyfriend still cares for his ex-girlfriend. She needs to do something that will destroy Clarissa!"---I just need to dig up some dirt or scandal to any members of the NO Borders, and I know our magazine will sell like hotcakes, again... I'm just waiting for a big break."Victoria snaps out from her reverie when she heard the old man's voice, who was sitting at the nearby table. He was talking to someone over the phone. She decided to listen to the old man."----I've been monitoring them for a month, and I followed th
Victoria wasn't able to answer because she was taken back by Jason's calm demeanor."Everyone, please calm down. For the meantime we need to concentrate on the rehearsals first. We only have a week before the concert starts, that's why we can't afford to waste anymore time." Nick calmed everyone down."Nick is right. That's why I want you all to do series of warm ups and afterwards, we'll start with the rehearsals, okay?" their choreographer announced as well.All of them didn't have a choice but to follow their choreographer's orders.Meanwhile, Clarissa secretly watches Jason. It was obvious on his face that she is affected by the scandal that appeared on the newspaper, and she feels like it's all her fault...She decided to talk to Jason later and apologize to him...=========================Clarissa is standing by the door, which was NO Borders' private room. Her heart is
Jason eyes immediately searched for Clarissa as soon as he steps onstage. He anxiously looks for her and he couldn't see her from the crowd of dancers..."Alright, guys! Gather up! I have a very important and serious announcement to make." their choreographer suddenly called for their attention.As soon as everyone has gathered, Jun spoke again."As you all know, the NO Borders' concert will start tomorrow, and this will be our last rehearsals. For the passed few days we had a problem and because of that our Big Boss decided to --- permanently remove ai Clarissa as one of the back-up dancers.That's why we decided that for Jason's partner for his solo performance, she will be replaced by Victoria." he pronounced.Everyone was obviously shocked after they heard the announcement."Is it because of the scandal?" Edward bravely asked Jun.Somehow, he was still worried about Clarissa.
