Aai: "Max?".
Belis: "You seemed to have joined Max's group. You showed no interest in such. But... You were even having fun with him, allowing him to touch your head, showing such expressions....".
Aai: "...?.Oh, that!... That was...".
Belis: "Are you tired of me now?...Am I uninteresting too? Will you be leaving me?..... Please don't.... I don't wanna...". She began weeping.
Aai: "...ugh.!!...". She went close to her and patted her head. Belis clenched Aai's clothes.
Aai: "You sure have been crying a lot lately". She smiled as she said and hugged Belis. Belis was surprised.
Belis: "...!..sen...".
Aai: "Calm down.....Now will you listen to me, Mm?". She looked at Belis.
Belis: "Hm".
Aai explained her situation. How she was dragged by Max, why she had joined and about Max teasing her.
Aai: "That's what it was. Got that?". She leaned back on the wall while sitting beside Belis.
Belis nodded her head. Her eyes were still looking at the ground. Aai looked at her and kept her hand on Belis's head.
Aai: "I'm here. Unless you leave me, I'm here with you (in a low tone)....(sigh) Enough now, stop crying". Belis again got teary and Aai continued patting her.
After a few minutes.
Aai: "Settled now?".
Belis: "Hmm".
Aai: "Still wanna leave the group?"
Belis: "No... "
Aai: "Good"
Belis: "I've requests".
Aai: "...".
Belis: "You have to come to the school's annual".
Aai: "...I'll see". Aai hates crowds and noise.
Belis: "....Uhh! I want you to see my performance, please". She flashed her innocent pleading eyes on her.
Aai: "...Stop that....is it all?". She said while avoiding Belis.
Belis: "No there's more. You can't have anyone closer to you than me. You have to meet me during the breaks. You have to....".
Aai: "That's enough now".
Belis: "No there's... "
Aai: "Let's go?..... ". In a low tone, Aai called. Belis said no more and left with her.
As Aai opened the door, a hair brush flew on her head.
Max: "AAI!.....Are you okay?". He ran to her. Her head did get red.
Aai: "Ah!".
Max: "Your head. I'm so sorry Aai. It flew from my hand. Is it hurting? Show here... ".
Aai: "It's nothing". She pushed him aside. She noticed Max's legs covered with a long cloth. As she lifted her head she got surprised to see Max's face.
Aai: "What.....pfft!.... Sorry". She averted her eyes.
Max: "...!!?..CHASE!". He ran to Chase.
Max was wearing heavy makeup on a long maxi.
Aai was confused here.
Chase noticed her reaction.
Chase: "It's for the play". He said looking at Aai.
Aai: "....You look....ahem! Nice". Saying she walked aside.
Max: "...!!Ah!... ". He was embarrassed.
Max had the role of the elder sister of Chase who's a brother. He was always against this role but Chase and the others were set on making him play.
Max: "Just why DO I HAVE TO BE THE SISTER!!?". Asked irritatedly.
The leader: "Well it was the boys. They said that it was unfair to have you in any male outfit since you 'OUTSHINE' them".
Max: "Humph! of course". as he was admiring himself, Chase chuckled at a side. Seeing him Max again exclaimed, "Then why is Chase a brother? He can be some other character!!?".
Chase: "Well it was the girls decision". He smirked as he said.
Max really felt unfair. He puffed his face and glared at him.
"What are you so unhappy about? More than you I should be revolting".
Max: "Ben!.. Pfft hahahah! What's that?".
Ben: "What are you laughing looking at your aunt like that?". He joked while playing his character role.
Max: "HAHAHA!".
Ben one of Max's friends was given Max's and Chase's aunt role and another friend Eyan was playing as the youngest sister.
Max couldn't stop laughing seeing those too in their costume.
Eyan: "Well aren't I cute, brother?". He asked in a cute girly tone.
Max: "haha! Yea... Pfft!". Eyan continued acting cute for which Max couldn't stop his laughter.
Chase: "Well you are one enjoying his role very nicely, aren't you?" he said putting his arm around Ben's shoulder, leaning in him.
