"So how was your national debate competition? I heard you won first prize."
"Just throwing the facts breaking there fantasies and here I am with the gold."
"Sounds like you."
"I know right~"
.
"Just look at her showing off her superior self as soon as she came back and what's with Feng being so close with her?" Ling drinking the water harshly while sitting with Ning and Yuan on another table aksed as she looked at Feng and Gu Wei siting on another table a little far away away there.
.
"Ling don't say that, Gu Wei and Feng have been good friends ever since they were kids futhermore they are just catching up with things and Gu Wei is just strict nature." Ning explained as she smiled at the angry face Ling was making.
"Yeah I forgot, you admire her. Gu Wei your idol."
"What? Gu Wei is your idol?" Yuan not able to believe his ears asked.
.
"Yeah, this idiot here likes how practical, collected and helpful Gu Wei is...I can agree with the first two but the last part it must sure be her imagination." Ling said as she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes while Yuan broke into a giggle.
"Ling!!" Ning said as she pouted and hit Ling on the shoulder.
.
"Our little lady is turning red. See Ling your Ning is turning into a tomato." Yuan teased while Ling laughed and Ning looked at the floor.
.
The trio didn't know but a pair of eyes were looking at them very precisely and warmly.
"Look at those crackheads teasing Ning again." Feng said as she smiled and shook his head.
"Yeah they look like a bunch of kids who need to be disciplined."
"Woah! Calm down Gu Wei. And just let them be...even though Ning is sulking inside her happiness knows no bond." Feng said as he looked at Ning with a genuine smile on his face.
.
"You sound like I was going to do to them for real...but Feng I didn't knew you were so close with those two girls. Espically Ning, you rarely interacted with her before but within a month you have become so close with her...it's sounds very platonic you know." Gu Wei said as she looked at Feng whose eyes were still on Ning.
"I don't know about platonic but maybe I was blind before for not recognizing a gem like her before but now that I do...I won't let her lose." Feng said as he smiled and faced her straight.
.
"Whatever you said sounded very impractical but as long as you are happy go for it." She said while shrugging her shoulders.
"All the students gather on the ground for the prize distribution!" The announcer announced and eveyone started gathering on the ground.
.
"Hey you two are you ready for today?" Yuan asked as he wiggled his eyebrows.
"Huh? Ready for what? All the competitions are done." Ling said as she looked at him with suspicious eyes.
.
"Next for the relay race...."
"Come on! Don't act so dumb most importantly you Ling."
"Yuan if you don't want me to beat your Ass! You better speak straight."
"Ling! What year are we in?"
"1st! Don't you even know that--"
"And when the lat time we can participate in sports meet?"
"This year!"
"And what happens every year during the 1st years last sports meet?"
"...The After Party!!!" Ling said as her eyes grew wide and she started jumping in the air.
.
"What? After Party?"
"Yes! The After Party which is held for the 1st years every year to celebrate there last sports meet in the campus. And today we are going to have one~" Ling said as she held both of Ning's hand and squealed in excitement.
.
"And the best thing is that only the 1st years are allowed to take part in the party which is arranged by the juniors." Yuan said as he signaled towards the other side of the filed which was getting decorated with lighting and balloons.
.
"Wow! I am so damm excited about it! Ning today we will Party till late! and no excuse!" Ling said as she looked at the arena with stars I'm jer eyes whereas Ning couldn't help but feel the churing in her stomach getting rougher and her breath becoming weaker.
.
"(Party...with so many people around...*takes a deep breath* ...I can't do it...I can't..)"
"Ling...I think I will just---"
.
"And the moment that eveyone was waiting for has come! All the 1st year students are asked to go to the next arena for there After Party that had been arranged by no other than your favourite juniors! Now go and enjoy!!" The announcer said before dropping the mic.
"Did you hear the Ning! Now let's go!!"
"Wait but Ling..." Ning wasn't able to complete her sentence as Ling took her hand and directly ran towards the party area along with Yuan.
.
"(But I don't want to go there..)"
"Ling...I.."
"Welcome eveyone to after Party which will be held till you all can no longer take it!! So without wasting any time let's get the party started!" The D.J which was a junior in spes said as he played some party music and eveyone started to move there feet along with the music like they were very much familiar with it.
.
"Wow! Ling you can really dance can't you."
"Yuan don't dare provoke me! not today! And Ning move your feet. It's our first ever after Party don't just stand there and waste this moment. Come on!" Ling said as she pulled Ning in between the dance floor.
.
"Geez! I hate loud music."
"Then why are you here instead of going back home?" Feng said as he handed the cup of juice to Gu Wei standing beside him.
"Why are you here then? You aren't a party person too."
"Well I--"
.
"Shit!! Why didn't you check the expiry date before ordering the food?"
"I am sorry I just got confused with the months."
"Really it's written in big letter here this food expires on 27- 03-22 and today is 27-04-22." The juniors in the side talked and Feng chocked on his drink.
"What did you say about today's date?"
