Chapter 3 - Nailed

"Whoa! Brother Sparkle, you are so cool! Do it again!"

"OK. OK. But you have to watch carefully. Cause I'm not gonna do it again."

Sparkle holds the bottle of soft drinks upside down while the coin on his other hand. He tapped the coin at the bottom of the bottle. Then the coin went through and is now inside of it. He gave the bottle to Lemon to inspect.

" There is no hole in here. How did you do it?"

"Magic!" Sparkle said proudly. Though, it is actually an old trick.

Sprite, who is on the other side of the auditorium, is busy fixing the stage together with the other student. He is currently nailing the material that they will use as the frame of the arc. Everything is going fine other than the hammer seems to be heavier than the usual. The wall of the auditorium seems to vibrate every time he pounds the nail with his hammer. He glanced at the two figures on the other side of the hall. He then again pounds the nail harder.

"Hey! Hand me that. I'll do it for you."

"But, I can do it. You also have work to do." Sparkle insists on getting the box from Lemon.

"I can finish it later. You'll grow a man's biceps if you insist on carrying this. Then you'll never have a boyfriend. Admirers will be scared off if they see you with bigger biceps than them!"

"Would you go out with a girl who has bigger biceps than yours?"

Sprite can't help but to listen to the conversation between the two. And judging from Lemon's reaction, he needs not to guess where this conversation will end up to.

"Hmm... Bicep is never an issue. I'm a man after all."

Hearing this, Sprite feels the temperature gets burning. He doesn't know why but the presence of the two in the room is becoming more and more of an eyesore.

'Dare to flirt when everyone is working hard! How irresponsible!'

He's pounding the nails harder and harder.

"So, If I happen to get a man's biceps. Will you still go out on a date with me?"

A bang suddenly echoed inside the auditorium followed by a loud groan from a man who was fixing the stage. One of the student's cries echoed in the hall.

"Brother Sprite! You're Bleeding!" the student starts to panic.

"Somebody! Call a medic!"
