Third Person's Point of View
Sonia walked through the hallways of NDU in rush. Her unkempt blonde hair bouncing as she ran straight to her classroom and stopped in front of Caroline that was busy chatting with Laura. Panting, she put an arm on the girl's shoulder which confused the pink haired girl.
"What wrong?" Caroline asked, scanning the girl both confusion and panic written all over her face.
"The play!" The girl looked up, her green eyes filled panic. "We haven't plan anything for the play!"
Caroline blankly stared at the girl for a few more seconds before panic rushed through her as she stood up, grabbing Sonia by the shoulders and shaking the girl.
"I totally forgot about that!!" She then rufled her hair in frustration. "What do we do?!"
Sonia stayed silent for a moment, obviously thinking about what to do for their play. It was an activity given to them by one of their teachers which is to compose a play about one of the six types of love and somehow, their group was put into the category of family love to which the two are now pondering of what to do for their play.
As the two were busy on their train of thought a smiling Merideth came inside the classroom and was greeted by the two girls standing near the board with preoccupied minds.
Her sudden appearance was then followed by the class muse entering. Ashley walk to them with a smile and soon another girl coming from the same group as they are approached the Merideth and Ashley that was staring at the two thinking people.
"Ah!" Sonia shouted snapping her finger as she moved. Caroline then stopped her from her train of thoughts and stare at the girl, waiting for her to say what she wanted to suggest. "I've got a very interesting Idea!"
Ashley, Merideth, Bea and Caroline listen closely as the girl explained what she had in mind. She then asked for Caroline's opinion knowing well that the girl is a renowned actress.
She and Caroline then was hooked up on how to save their grades by their play, Caroline was already having an easy time due to the fact that Sonia is very easy to understand when she explain things and is open for the suggestions they are giving.

"I'm sorry. Your mom didn't make it." Ashley said looking at Sonia who started wailing and calling Caroline's name.
"Caroline! Mom is dying!" Caroline rushed through Sonia's side and stared at Bea shoulders shaking both fear and panic on her face.
"Mom! Don't leave us!" She screamed a top of her lungs.
All students, even the teacher felt shiver up their spines as the girl's emotion can be felt even though its just acting. The plan that Sonia set up was about two sisters that was left alone after their died and her older sister starts to destroys her life by befriending a bad influenced friend without consideration of her younger sisters feelings.
"Wow! She's amazing!" Rianne's breath hitched as she watch both Sonia and Caroline pulled off their acting skills.
"Sister what's happening to you?!" Sonia asked grabbing the girl by the shoulder and shaking it. "Why are you doing this to yourself?!"
Caroline swayed her body in message that she is drunk and shoved Sonia to the side. "You know nothing about what I'm feeling right now!"
Sonia walked to Caroline once again. "Then make me understand! How would I know what's wrong if you won't open up with me!"
"Open up with you?!" Caroline scoffed. "Don't try to act like you know it all! Its like mom's death doesn't have any effect on you---"
The whole classroom shrieked and cheer as Sonia landed her palm on Caroline's cheeks, the sound was so loud that everyone went num thinking it hurt Caroline's badly but inwardly Caroline was very happy that Sonia was her teammate the minute Sonia slapped her and grabbed her by the collar of her uniform.
"Doesn't have any effect?! Do you think I'm a cyborg?!" The girl screamed to her face. "Mom's death killed me! And what you're doing to yourself is killing me over and over again!"
Caroline didn't respond. "All I want is for you to stay strong. Because that's what I'm doing for us right now."
"Sonia wait---" Caroline stopped herself as she saw Merideth dragging a chair propping it as a bike that drew over Sonia.
"Oh my gosh! This is trouble!" Merideth said in panic. "I have to run away from this one."
"Sonia! Sonia" Caroline panicked. "Sonia please wake up." She then went on to call one of her friend which was actually Merideth to help her take Sonia to a hospital.
"Your sister is now in stable condition." Ashley, acting as a doctor smiled in seeing Caroline sigh in relief. "And also... "
Ashley sheepishly eyed Merideth, which cause the whole classroom to laugh.
"We reviewed the CCTV and found that the pink bike that was parked outside was the one that hit your sister."
Merideth gasped. "So, youre accusing me?!" She outbursted.
"I didn't say its yours, nor did I accused you. But since you reacted first that means your guilty." The whole class laughed again as Ashley tried to hold her laughter watching Merideth and Caroline exchange arguments with each other.
"I trusted you!" Caroline shouted.
"You know I only befriend you coz you're pretty right?" The whole class laughed over again when Caroline slapped Merideth and kicked her out. But went back to feel the intense when Caroline cried aand beckoned for Sonia to wake up.
"Sister?" Sonia's gentle voice caused Caroline to cheer that even the whole class felt it and cheered with her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Sonia!" Caroline repeated all over again.
The two of them changed the scene of where they were both watching the news of Merideth being put to jail in a drug raid.
"That serves her right." Caroline sassed.
"I do wish she'll be given a chance to change though." Sonia gently said, hugging her sister and smiled. "And that Mom will be happy wherever she is."
"Being in a family isn't all about yourself. So you have to work not only basing on your own feels but also for the feels of people who care for you." Caroline qouted. "This is what I have learned in a play we performed."
"I learned in this play that as a member of the family, you have to learn how to open up to them. Maybe they hold the answer you might want to hear or answers you needed to hear. Being in a family means to not give up on someone no matter how strayed they can be." Caroline noted.
———
They both ended their play with a bow and and the whole class applaud. Especially Rianne, Dianne and Cole. They both never know that putting these two as a tandem is too destructive.
In the end, they both received the highest points in class and Caroline went to Terrence with a smile on her face.
"Something nice happened?" Terrence asked childishly wrapping an arm around the girl.
"I think I want to act again."
Terrence was a bit taken aback. "Why?"
"Someone inspired me to do so." The statement confused him even more but nonetheless kept it at that.
"I'll support you all the way."
Caroline smiled and embraced Terrence burying her face on his chest.
"I'm glad you do. It means a lot to me."
The two was busy cuddling and was on a fit of cute giggles and that made Caroline's day greater than her usual one.
"I guess fitting in could wait a little longer." She mumbled happy that someone she's cuddling right now can baby and comfort her. "I love you babe." She added.
Terrence smiled rubbing the girl's back in a comforting manner. "I love you too babe."
The two was left in a very comfortable silence with only their two beating hearts that syncs was heard.
