Chapter 6 - Chapter 5

Club Day.

That's the name of today's event at school.Which means, every students should focus on their club, the whole day.But since I'm a transferee, I still don't have a club.And now, I don't know why i let myself get dragged by Hailey, to the Theater Club.

"Don't worry Rei! My club mates are so nice" She told me.

"Well, that's not the point Hailey..I'm not suitable on Theater Club" I said in the most not harshly tone.

She pouted. "But let's just try!"

When we got arrived at the Theater Club, her club mates immediately greet the both of us.

"Hello! I am, Amy Crossed .. the president of the Theater Club.And you must be Rei Gonzales, right?"

I immediately nodded and smiled shyly.

Actually, there are a lot of them in the club. It seems like they don't need someone like me anymore in the club.

Amy told me what does the Theater Club do and their agenda.She told me a lot of things about the Club.She asked me if i want to try acting and stuffs but i shyly refused.Theater, is not realy for me.But, yeah, i tried auditioning but they also told me that, it's not suitable for me because i look so awkward and shy.They told me those things in a sweet way, maybe to not hurt me? It doesn't bother me that much because I already know that acting is not meant for me.

"Ah! You know what? I'm gonna call West" Hailey told me while typing something on her phone.

"H-huh? Why?"

"West!… .Rei's with me..yeah!… Okay"

She turned to me. "Don't worry! I told him not to flirt with you" She laughed.

My eyebrows furrowed slightly. "I don't get it"

"Besides being a member of the student council, West is also a member of the dancing club..and I told him that you are looking for a club that is suitable for you"

"Dancing Club !?" My eyes widened.

"I'm not good at dancing, Hailey" I think I want to cry. What's happening to me is so embarrassing huhu.

"Just try it!" She widened her eyes at me so I wanted to cry even more in embarassment.

When West came in front of us, he was very sweaty and just wearing a shirt. All right, he's hot — but! He is still flirty.

"You take care of Rei…" Hailey glared at West before she returned to the Theater Club.

"Babe, I'm right here for you" West told me.

I immediately frowns and distanced myself from him.

"Why—"

"You're sweaty"

He laughed softly and wiped away the sweat. He's not really that sweaty but err, I don't want to side with a flirty person like him.

When we arrived at the Dancing Club, I saw his clubmates, still practicing.

"Sup Guys! We have a new club mem`—"

I immediately kicked West because his clubmates might think that I would actually be a member of their club. NO WAY!

They stopped dancing and approached us.

"Hello! I'm Jake Paul… the president of the Dancing Club" Jake offered a handshake which i shyly accepted.

"Hello..I'm Rei Gonzales" I smiled.

"Darn! You're pretty" One of the guys told me.

Darn.I'm embarrassed! I'm not used to be complimented by a guy!

"So flirty" a girl told them.

Same as what Amy did to me.Jake told me a lot of things about Dance Club.The practice, schedules, events, contests and many more stuffs.And as usual, i auditioned too, which is really embarrassing! It's like I just want to feed on the ground! Because, they made me dance in front of them all! Jake told me that i was actually good at dancing, i just need to practice it even more and build my confidence.Pero i told him that, dancing isn't my thing..in a most not harsh way of course ..

While we were walking towards the cafeteria, Kean saw us. He immediately grabbed my arms and pulled away from West which made me frowned.I'm not in a good mood today, i got embarrassed for 2 times already huhu.

And now, I don't know why I let myself get dragged AGAIN, by Kean. And now we're going to his club, the Cooking Club.

I'm actually surprised that he belongs to that club.

Geez i just remembered the Tinola that he cooked.

"Welcome Rei! I'm Mina Romero, the president of the Cooking Club" She smiled at me so i did the same thing.

Mina told me a lot of things about Cooking Club. I noticed that there are only a few members of this club. And she told me that there were really many members of this club before, but since there a lot of clubs that got added,they changed clubs..And now there are only 6 members of the Cooking Club.

"I was surprised that you joined here" I whispered to Kean.

He pouted. "What do you mean Rei? I'm realy good at cooking!"

I frowned. "As you say so"

"Come on" Kean came over to me and put his arm around my shoulders. I tried to get his arms off my shoulder but he still puts it on.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

He didn't answer until we got to the club he says.

"Gaming Club?" I read the name of the Club.

"Yup! Look" He said and pointed at the young man. So I peeked. And inside there. I saw a lot of guys, infront of the computers wearing headphones. But my eyes got fixed on one guy.

It's Yuan!

"Why is he—"

"As soon as he found out there was going to be a gaming club, he immediately signed up" Kean laughed softly.

"I know you have no interest in gaming, but I just want to show you haha" Kean explained while scratching his head.

I smiled and nodded.

"So? Have you decided what—"

"What are you guys doing?"

I looked at the door of the Gaming Club when I heard Yuan's voice.

"Hey bro!" Kean greets his friend.

Yuan just looked at him, boredly.

"I'm just showing Rei around,because she's looking for a club"

Yuan looked at me.

I seemed to lose my breath for a few seconds before smiling a little. "Y-y-yeah"

Omg why am I stuttering !?

"Have you decided yet?" He asked.

"Uhm..no"

"Ah" He answered shortly and went inside again.

Huh? What—

"Haha don't mind him.That's what he gets for playing too much" Kean said to me laughing.

"Let's go?" He said and walked away. I immediately followed him.

When we got back to the Cooking Club, I told them that I I'm going to join in this club. They were happy with my decision.

"So? It seems like I might have an opponent in cooking huh?" Kean smiled at me but I rolled my eyes at him.

Is he crazy? We all know that I'm better than him when it comes to cooking.

He laughed at my reaction and messed up my hair.

"Welcome to the Cooking Club, Rei"
