8 Chapter 8

Melissa is excited waking up early in the morning. Her beautiful smile is clearly reflected on her face when she's walking at the entrance of her school. She wore her favorite ordinary dress and continue walking, daydreaming about what happened yesterday. It was an

implausible experience she didn't anticipate to happened. Her prince held her safely in his wide arms, like a princess saved by her prince, romantic indeed! She couldn't help but smile. Her day is perfect. Eric smiled at her when she's in the canteen eating together with Aria. She blush at the sight of him, finally, Eric smiled at her for the first time. What a great progress of their relationship, she assumed.

On the other hand, she's excited that Matthew and Betty is not in the school today, what a great relief!

She thought that life is better when nothing destroys your day. She hope that her day will continue like this.That's what she thought. Her day is perfect until Ryan explode the bomb!

"We have a problem! Matthew Valmonte wants to join our play!" Ryan's announcement made everyone stop on what they are doing.

He can't be serious right? A brat like him don't usually like a boring play like this? Why all of a sudden he wants to be part of this play?

"Then give him a supporting role, problem solve." Aria just shrug her shoulder as if there's nothing to be afraid of, with Matthew wanting to join the cast.

"If that is simple Aria. I don't need to be bothered like this." Ryan hissed in frustration. The frown on his face is clearly evident that what Matthew request might change the whole thing in the play.

"I see. You already told them the good news Ryan. I know its a bit late but I would like to participate in your play, would you give me the honor to join your cast?" No one answered, instead they just gave Matthew an awkward smile. No one even pays attention on his silly request instead, they continue doing their task as if they didn't hear him utter a word. "Unless you want to be kick out of this school? Is that what you want?" Every word he said, he mean it. Everyone is silent. A bully like him does not bluff, he really mean it. "I guess, silence means yes?" He said with confidence, proud to show his arrogance in front of Melissa's colleague. "So, when shall I start?" Ryan is aghast that caused his jaw to drop in awe. Seems like Matthew made up his mind and who is he to stop him? Stopping him is completely impossible. Ryan knows his place. But he knows for sure, that this play is destined to be doomed!

His madness made everyone worry. Melissa knew that what Matthew bring is trouble.

"And, director Ryan, did you ever tell them about the role that I'll be playing?" His handsome face turns to dark while facing the antonish face of Melissa. Premonition creeps on her. Something is not right here. Matthew smirk and continue expressing his thoughts to everyone. "I'm gonna be the new leading man on this play!" Boom! Matthew's word shakes the whole world of Melissa.

Melissa's world begun to shutter. Her mind is completely in a mess. Matthew? Her leading man! No way! How could he do that to her partner in this play? It's not easy to be chosen in this play and now someone unexpectedly took it from him without having a choice to say no, It's not fair! Not fair at all!

Matthew is satisfied of Melissa's reaction. Delighted about her displeasure. This is what his plan all along. Making Melissa freak out about his sudden announcement. There's more to it for sure.
