Tokyo, Japan.Hagiya Residence. "Sister Clarissa! Kaori is pulling my hair!" a five-year old girl suddenly screamed."Give me back my doll first!" the other twin said in return.Clarissa switched off the electric stove and took a deep breath. Afterwards, she quickly walk towards the room where the twin sisters are currently having a fight."What's going on here?" Clarissa asked the twin girls, as she's trying to become a referee between them."Kaori pulled my hair and it hurts so much!" Kaoru immediately complained, while crying."But she stole my doll from me!" Kaori complained as well.Clarissa tenderly smiled at the twin girls."Kaoru, will you please give the doll back to Kaori? You have your own beautiful doll, right?" she told the girls."I am sorry for hurting you, Kaori. Here's your doll..." Kaoru finally apologized, while giving the do back to her sister."It's alright, Kaoru. Do you want to play dolls with me?" Kaori suggested, as she's finally smiling."Good girls!" Claris
Even before Clarissa could recover, Edward held her hand firmly."Just ignore him, Clarissa." her boyfriend tries to keep her calm.And just like a perfect timing, a male staff suddenly approaches them."To everyone who's participating in the audition, please submit your application form to me and afterwards, proceed to the audition room." the staff strictly informs them."Let's go, Edward. Let's show them what we got." Clarissa's stated, while looking determined.After submitting the application form to the staff, they went right ahead towards the auditorium...=========================Clarissa is now inside the auditorium room, and now she's watching Edward dancing onstage.She's feeling restless right now because in a few moments, she will be the next one dancing onstage."Damn it. I'm feeling like a wreck right now." she whispered to herself. Clarissa feels like she's about to throw up because of extreme nervousness."Uh oh... I think someone's gonna to throw up, girls." she hear
The next morning...Clarissa woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. She jumped out of her bed and ran to her mini-living room to pick up her mobile phone.She quickly answered the call."Hello?" she asked, in a raspy voice."Hello, may I speak with Miss Clarissa Montecillo?" the female caller asks."Yes, this is Clarissa Montecillo speaking. May I know who's calling, please?" Clarissa answered "Hi, Clarissa. I'm Diana Lee, and I'm calling to formally inform you that you've been picked as one of the dancers. Please report to the Grand Theater tomorrow at 10:00 am sharp. Your attendance is a must."After a few minutes, the call was finally ended, and she still can't believe that she passed the audition!"I got in!" Clarissa excitedly screamed, as if there's no tomorrow.=====================The next day.At the Grand Theater."Don't be too nervous, Clarissa. Just dance just like what you usually do." Edward encourages her."I'll prove to them that they didn't make a mistake in cho
Evening quickly came by.All the staff and dance crew are currently having fun. After their first day of rehearsals, Jun invited them all of them to have a drink at a certain pub and have a mini-orientation to make them feel comfortable with each other."Alright, everyone! Let's make our mini-orientation party even more fun, so let's play a little game, shall we? How about doing Truth or Dare game?" Jun suddenly announced.The crowd became rowdier after they heard what Jun said."I'm sorry to spoil your fun, guys, but I need to go. I still have to go somewhere important." Kei politely informed everyone. As soon as Kei left, Jun finally started the Truth or Dare game by spinning an empty bottle.A few seconds later, the tip of the bottle stopped towards Edward. Toru observed that Edward and Clarissa seems to be very close with each other. He heard from the grapevine that they are romantically linked with each other."Okay, Edward... Truth or Dare?" Jun asked the question.However, To
"Yes, Sir. I'm absolutely fine. Why are you outside?" Clarissa curiously asked him."Oh, I'm just here to get some fresh air. How about you, what are you doing here?" Toru asked her the same question."Uh, same to you, I guess. I'm feeling a bit suffocated inside." Clarissa responded, while shrugging her shoulders.His instinct's telling him that Clarissa's hiding her real feelings. Anyway, he doesn't have the right to force her to tell him the truth.Clarissa smiled at him, and then she spoke again."I have to go back inside..." she informed him."Oh, alright. I'll just stay here for a bit more. I'll go back inside in a few minutes." Toru smiled back at her.Clarissa nodded, then afterwards, she walks back inside...Toru watched her walking away until she's out of sight."I hope you'll be able to see what is going on around you, Clarissa." he whispered.==========================Few hours have passed. All of the people are starting to leave the pub one by one. Jun, their choreograp
"You're finally here, Jason!" Kei greeted one of his team member."I'm sorry for being late." Toru apologized to everyone. "You're not really late, dude. Anyway, let's do our best for our rehearsals today, okay?" Richard, the other member of their idol group said, while tapping Toru's shoulder."As always, we need to give our 100% best." Toru nodded approvingly.At that exact time, Toru and Clarissa's eyes accidentally met. Toru just gave her a simple smile, and Clarissa just nodded in return.Then, they spent half of the day learning new dance moves....=======================Lunch time.Edward and Clarissa are at a Coffee Shop not far from the Grand Theater."So... How did you go home last night, Edward? What happened to you after drinking at the pub?" Clarissa bombarded her boyfriend with questions."Just like what I told you, I went home all by myself. I wasn't able to escort you back to your apartment because I was so drunk." Edward explained."Why am I not convinced, Edward? I
"Oh.That was fast. Did he find out what happened to us last night?" asked Toru. Clarissa smiled sadly."Don't worry about it too much. That's not why we decided to split up. Apparently, he fell in love with somebody else." she answered."I'm sorry to hear that. But are you okay?" Toru asks her again."Surprisingly, I'm more than okay. It may sound weird, but I feel more relieved when we broke up. Should I pretend to cry and be heartbroken?" Clarissa stated, in an amused manner.Without a warning, Toru suddenly lets out a bark of laughter."You never cease to amaze me, Clarissa. You're really one of a kind." he enunciated."Well, I'm glad I made you laugh." Clarissa said, while shrugging her shoulders."By the way, are you hungry? We can do a take out by going at the drive thru and eat while we're on the road." Toru suddenly suggested."Sure! I'm actually starving." Clarissa finally confesses with a smile.==========================After a while.They finally reached their destinatio
Clarissa's train of thoughts stopped in a halt when Victoria and her two friends suddenly laughed, as if something is funny."Wow, are you suffering from amnesia, Clarissa? Alright, let me remind you something. Edward just recently broke up with you, and now you're flirting with another guy in just a blink of an eye! And you even had the guts to seduce a famous celebrity like Toru?! Just look at you! You're just a Plain Jane, and you're nothing but a pathetic wallflower!" Victoria insulted her.Afterwards, the three girls laughed at her in a mocking manner.At the same time, Clarissa secretly counted one to ten to calm herself. She has to control herself because she doesn't want to create any trouble. She doesn't want to stoop down to their level.Clarissa took a deep breath before she spoke again. "I'm not that desperate to flirt with another man right away, unlike other girls who snatches other people's boyfriend." she stated,in a calm manner. Victoria's whole face suddenly turned
