It was the last day of Campaign, Jak together with Justine feel a bit worried because they will now campaign on their seniors and deliver their speech.

"Justine! Hmmm.. I am nervous"

"Wait what? You are nervous? Seriously? Jak this is the first time that I heard you say that word when you will speak in front of other people, You can do it! I am the one who is nervous and I am getting my strength to you!"

That moment Jak felt a bit of a strange feeling of doubt inside of him, Speaking in front of other people specially in front of the crowd was Jak's forte it excites him everytime and the more people he will speak on to the more excited he is that is why he feel strange at this moment when he feel nervous when he will speak in front of 30-35 students per classroom.

Before Jak's turn to deliver his speech and advocacies Bryan noticed how worried Jak is and try to do his best to cheer Jak Up!

"Jak, You okay? You look stressed out?"

"Nothing Bryan I am just a bit of worried because they are look matured and they are intimidating"

"Jak You are Great! Always remember that I am sure that they will admire you once you start speaking!"

At that moment Jak is starting to have self doubt that is really strange to him, he usually the one who is aways positive in these kind of stuffs. Good thing that he has a enough support system to make him feel a lot better.

Jak speaks to himself "Alright! Jak let's do this show them what you got!"

"Hello Everyone my name is Jak Marquez I am First Year Student running for Vise President Internal…."

The time Jak started speaking everyone looks at him as his well modulated voice gather all the seniors attention to listen to him and right after he finish his speech and ask the seniors to vote for him, Jak feel a bit strange because there as 2 seconds of silence and then everyone in the room Claps for him.

"Wooooh! You are Good we will VOTE for you!"

Several random compliments showered Jak and it boost ups his confidence there are even some seniors who are teasing Bryan "Bryan Jak should be the president! Switch position now!"

**Everyone is laughing and the tension that Jak felt at first was changed to a Bright smile and confidence.

"Jak is really great isn't he, you are lucky to have him at your side Trish,"

Nette looks excited when James entered the room and…

"Sorry I just need to answer this call, please excuse me"

James leave the room and Jak was a bit confused and asked Ari and Nette,

"Why does James look sad and about to Cry and why did I heared William did they broke up?"

"What where did you get that?"

"Nothing I am asking, wait are they together"

"No Jak"

"Really Ari? I always see their photos for the past few months before the school year started and I thought they are seeing eachother"

"Almost! That is if William did not leave James alone out of nothing"

"Really Nette! How I mean why James looks kind and he looks good why did William left him?"

"That is what we are talking about about James said that since the training camp of the club they become close to each other and start flirting"

"Really Ari Flirting? Can you just use other term for that?"

"What do you want me to use? They did not officially date each other, should I call them Almost Lovers?"

Both Ari and Netter Burst into Laughter,

"I feel sad for James, I mean they look happy together in their stories and posts I shipped them actually! Specially in their photo with their Red Shirt together it looks like a Couple Shirt"

"Oh Yeah! I see that also! But we never know what happens?"

"You are correct there Nette! And because of that After William just did not contact James for a week until now a lot of their friends hates William because of that and he did not even go here to help and for the meetings"

"Oh I see.. That is the reason why I hear a lot of negative things about William ever since the school year started."
