BEAUTIES walked into the practice hall and met Gemma and Honesty on the floor, wallowing in pain. Zora was the first to laugh at them.
β Wtf happened to you both?β She said amidst laughter. Harriet rolled her eyes at them and turned to leave but Gemma called her back.
β Harriet β She had to swallow her pride cos she needed help before she dies of pain. She couldnβt even walk, her right leg was broken.
β What?β Harriet folded her hands.
β Please help me call Belinda or Emerald to help me β She pleaded.
β I was here in this practice hall all along. I was at that end, listening to that girl perform before you and Honesty came in. I didnβt interfere cos you both needed to be thought a lessonβ Emerald said as she made her presence known.
β Since your leader is here, Iβll take my leaveβ Harriet said, and turned to leave again, but Emerald called her back. She didnβt bother to turn as she headed for the door.
β Thanks β She said and Harriet Finally left the hall with her group mates. Emerald sighed as she dialed the line to the school infirmary and in minutes Gemma and Honesty were rushed there.
After attending to them, the specialist turned to Emerald;
β Gemma sustained a fraction in her knee region but itβs not severe. Iβd advise she doesnβt move around for a while, and if she must, then thatβll be with the help of crutches or a wheelchair. Sheβll get healed before the audition if she adheres to my warningsβ The specialist advised.
β What about Honesty?β Did she hurt her right eye real bad?β Emerald asked worriedly.
β As for Honesty, sheβll be okay before she knows it β The specialist replied.
β Thank you maβam β Emerald sighed again. Belinda came in too, she shook her head Gemma and Honesty before sitting next to Emerald.

β You both need to go to that newbieβs class and apologize. Thereβs nothing much to do in school. The audition is this week so we should practice. As we all know it, other schools too will be thereβ Harriet said.
Zora sighed loudly.
β Meet me in the car β Harriet added and left with Elvire. Zora stared at Elvira who sighed too. They held hands and started leaving for Devynβs class.
They met Lesley singing while Devyn was smiling as Lesley performed in front of her. Zora almost laughed but she controlled herself.
β Is this what they call a voice?β She laughed silently as she entered the class with Elvira. Devyn saw them first and her expression changed. Lesley hadnβt seen them yet, but she stopped singing after seeing Devynβs sudden change of expression.
She turned swiftly to see Zora and Elvira.
β You both also want to get beaten?β Lesley asked frustratingly, cos she was tired of seeing their faces.
β Beaten? Nope, we arenβt here for that. We only came to say you should forget about that night, Devyn β Zora said and Devyn furrowed her brows.
β What night?β Lesley asked.
β I was attacked the day I ran out of class that I almost committed suicide. If not for Blueberryβ Devyn said.
β What! you were attacked? By them? Maybe I should teach them a lessonβ Lesley began to roll her sleeves ready to fight, but Devyn held her.
β Itβs all in the past. Letβs just ignore these spirits of distraction and practiceβ Devyn said, letting go of Lesley.
Lesley faced the girls again as she folded her hands under her B@@bs.
β If you came to apologize to her because youβre afraid of leaving your group, then do so and stop beating around the bush. Iβm such Harriet meant business the day she said βTake a step and youβre outta the band. Gosh, I so much love that babe β Lesley laughed.
β Really? Harriet said that?β Devyn asked.
β Yeah, on the first day we both came to school. I almost laughed my lungs out β Lesley replied as she pushed Devyn in front.
β Here she is, sheβs all ears β She said and Elvira balled her fist really tight. Lesley saw her curled fist and smirked.
β Weβve got a change of mind. Devyn said sheβll only accept your apology if she slaps you both two times each. In fact, sheβll forget something of such ever happenedβ Lesley smirked.
Devyn faced her swiftly.
β Huh? β
β You want her to change her mind again?? She doesnβt need your sorry anymoreβ Lesley said, ignoring Devyn.
β Stop being her mouth!β Elvira said as she tried to control herself from yelling.
β Of course sheβs notβ Devyn chipped in. β She actually said my mindβ She added and Lesley tried not to laugh.
β Cβmon β Lesley signaled, but the girls hesitated.
β I h@tΓ« time wasters the most. We have things to do dummiesβ She said and Zoraβs eyes widened.
Did Lesley just call them dummies? It was unbelievable, yet they still had to do as said.
Zora came first and Devyn landed her two consecutive slaps that made her stagger backwards four times before she could get herself.
β Goodβ Lesley clapped as she called Elvira next.
β Your twin is quite cool but donβt worry, Iβll make sure you become cooler than herβ Lesley winked. β Remind me okay? Cos youβll benefit from itβ She added.
As soon as Elvira got in front of Devyn, Devyn didnβt waste any time using her both hands on Elviraβs cheeks. Instant headache befell Elvira and her eyes darkened. She couldnβt process anything that moment cos her ears suddenly stopped functioning as she heard the sounds of trumpets blowing.
Whoever was blowing the trumpet in her ears was doing a great job.
β Am I dead? β She asked, covering her ears with her hands
β Hmmβ¦ Youβre in hell chilling with the devilβ Lesley replied.
β I hope you avoid us from now on β She added and left the class with Devyn.
β Letβs talk more on the phone, I need to go home nowβ Lesley said as soon as they got out.
β Thanks for today β Devyn said. Lesley gave her thumbs up before running off. Devyn smiled slightly and turned to leave when someone tapped her from behind.
β Maikel asked me to give you thisβ The girl said and Devyn stared at the girlβs hands and her mouth dropped open when she noticed it was a guitar.
β Maikel?β She asked and the girl nodded. Gently, she collected it from her and the girl went her way. Devyn brought out the guitar and her mouth dropped open again.
It was the latest brand and it looks very costly. She smiled as she looked in the direction of MARVINSβ class.
β Youβre such a darling, Maikel. How did you know my guitar got broken this morning?β She muttered with a wide smile on as she left school too.

Nash laid on the couch, staring at his brothers who said nothing as they sat.
β Donβt tell me youβre all thinking about that girl?β He asked and Maikel faced him properly.
β Wanna ask me something?β Nash asked and he nodded.
β I donβt have listening ears for now. Iβm sleepyβ Nash said and made to cover his ears with his headphone but Sweetheart seized it.
β You wanna die?β He asked, glaring at Sweetheart.
β Iβll diΓ© later cos I know Iβm as good as dead alreadyβ Sweetheart replied.
Maikel stood up and went to sit next to Nash.
β Dig your grave after this β He glared at sweetheart again before sitting upright. He then faced Maikel.
β What? Wanna K!SS me?β He asked and Maikel brought his face closer as if to K!SS him. Nashβs eyes widened and he tried to stand up, but Maikel held him.
The rest of the members were trying hard not to laugh as Nash made a gross expression. After struggling for a bit, he relented and held Maikelβs face.
β Fine, I wonβt resist again. Letβs do this β Nash smiled, while Maikelβs eyes widened. Now it was Maikelβs turn to struggle cos Nash kept pulling him closer for a K!SS. Ian laughed loudly that he choked on his saliva.
β Did Maikel forget heβs 20??β Rema asked.
β I wonder if Nash forgot heβs four months older β Valerie added. They were still talking when Nashβs lips accidentally touched Maikelβs.
β Ewww!! β Sweetheart made a coarse expression.
β Eish, Gross!!! my precious lipsβ Nash screamed disgustingly as he rushed into his room to brush his lips.
β FΕ―Γ§Ζ you, Nash!β Maikel yelled with gritted teeth as he glared at Nashβs door which suddenly opened.
β Iβll kill you! Itβs all your fault β Nash said and Maikel quickly pick to his heels. Soon, they started running around the sitting room while the rest of the members laughed.

Mu yul bowed to Yeomra, their supreme as he began to walk away.
β Do not meddle in human affairs. You can act like them but never show them your true selfβ Yeomra said and Mu yul Finally vanished into thin air.

Devyn got into the house but met only Blueberry. Immediately she entered, he ran to her and took the guitar from her. He opened it and brought it out of its case. He stared at it before giving it back to Devyn.
She stared at him.
β Weird. Does he know I was gonna receive this as a gift?β She wondered as she went to the couch.
She took the guitar and began playing it softly. Blueberry just watched her.
β My crush loves the song I wrote, and I guess thatβs why he gave me this β She said with a smile. Blueberry said no word still as he sat next to her. He suddenly felt a presence almost entering the house and he stood up and started staring around the place.
When he saw no one, he sat back.
β Did something happen?β She asked him.
β Oh! I forgot you donβt talkβ She breathed out. β Well, Lesley and I are planning to audition together, but I really wish I could sing for the world to hear my voice. That would have been coolerβ She pouted sadly while Blueberry stared at her.
β Just say something already if you arenβt dumb. I h@tΓ« being the only one talking since mom isnβt hereβ She said, yet no words from him. Instead, he stood up and went to his room.
β Huh? When did he become like this?β She wondered.
β Mind if we go get ice cream?β She asked, yet he didnβt look back.
β He even refused ice cream? Strangeβ She muttered, staring back at the guitar. She smiled broadly and K!SSed it. She did that for seconds before heading to her room excitedly.

Lesley was in the kitchen trying to make noodles since she stays alone. She felt someone was right behind her and immediately she turned, the person whose face she couldnβt see held her against the wall, choking her.
β Iβve been looking for someone to work for me and I think youβre the perfect one. Kill for me and Iβll forever ensure your soulβs safety β
β Who are you?β She struggled, yet she couldnβt overpower the man holding her.
β I can choose to kill and let your soul be escorted to the underworld, but thereβs no gain in killing a rare gem like you. Work for me, and Iβll give you all you want β
β Iβll rather allow my soul dissipate than work for youβ She managed to say. Immediately those words left her mouth, the man threw her against the wall. She hit her back so hard on it and fell to the ground, coughing out blood immediately.
She looked up but didnβt find the person anymore.
β Evil aura β She muttered.
β Whoβs he? Why does he have an evil aura all over him?β She wondered, standing on her feet. Not minding what just happened, she cleaned her bloody lips and carried her noodles to the couch. She turned on the TV and started watching MARVINSβ old performance.
β My Nash β She pouted when she saw him on TV.
β But who is that @$$h0le who almost killed me? I should kill for him? Heβs nutsβ She scoffed, filling her mouth with noodles as she shook her head to the song playing.

Mu Yul got himself an apartment with everything in it already except clothes. He had no clothes, just the black he was wearing.
He entered the room and touched the bed before sitting on it.
β Six months isnβt that long anyway. I just need to persevere, and after I get what I want, I leave this boring human worldβ He said and immediately, the fixed phone beside his bed rang. Since he wasnβt aware, he flinched and fell to the ground.
He stood up like nothing happened as he stared at the fixed phone angrily. He walked to it and picked it up. He stared at it, wondering what it was used for.
After holding it for minutes and nothing happened. He made to keep it back, but it rang in his hands, frightening him. He quickly smashed it on the floor and started stepping on it.
β What the hell is this rope?β He wondered.

β«· DAYS LATER ~ A DAY BEFORE THE AUDITION ~ MAIKELβS MANSION β«Έ
Maikel woke up early and started doing the cleaning while his brothers were still fast asleep cos he didnβt want to disturb them. They werenβt in school, they were at the mansion Maikel got from his dad for being a good son. It had all the musical instruments he ever wanted so he loved the place.
Everything they needed was already in the house so they only needed to practice cos they werenβt the only boy group that would be performing.
He was done with the house chores when Ian ran to him.
β Maikel β He called and hugged him, sobbing on his shoulder.
β Did something happen, Honey?β Nash left the room when he heard Ian sobbing.
β What is it? Youβre frightening meβ Maikel said, disengaging from the hug.
β Maikel, my throat hurts so much. I donβt know what went wrong and we need to perform tomorrow. It hurts a lot when I try to sing. How do I sing tomorrow? Are you guys gonna lose because of me?β He cried.
Nash yawned widely and held his shoulder.
β Weβve come this far for such pain to pull us down. Donβt forget you still have four older brothers who are always here to make sure youβre happyβ Nash said.
β Did I overstress you guys during practice?β Maikel asked, feeling sad already.
β You wanna diΓ© young? Stop complicating issuesβ Nash shot him a glare before looking at Ian again.
β Donβt worry baby, all will be wellβ He cupped his face, but Ian pushed his hands away.
β Wanna K!SS me like you did to him?β He asked jokingly.
β If that will make you happyβ Nash replied as he moved closer to Ian who quickly sat down.
β Stop it!β He started laughing. He knew Nash was trying to make him forget about the pain, but deep down, he felt like he was dragging his group members backward.
Nash brought his face impossibly closer and Ianβs breath seized.
β Why will I K!SS you? You think Iβm into men? Yuck! Iβm into womenβ Nash flicked Ianβs forehead slightly and he held the spot with a pout.
β Pout again and Iβll bite your lipsβ Nash winked and Maikel smiled. Thatβs one of the things he loved about Nash. He acts cold all time but he had the kindest and warmest heart.
β Weβve come too far for this to weigh us down, okay? Weβve got your backβ Valerie said from behind. Not long after, they all sat on the couch and began singing softly. Ian tried to sing too but he wasnβt loud cos his throat was hurting. He smiled at how low his voice was and Maikel and Nash exchanged glances, glad Ian was finally able to let out a genuine smile.
β Iβll always stand by you allβ Nash and Maikel said in their head coincidentally as they both stared at their kid brothers. All of them were of the same age, just the months speak the difference, apart from Sweetheart who was 19.

Devyn and Lesley had been practicing as well. They had given their names to Miss Rachel as particiP@Εts in the audition.
None of the bullies had the time to disturb Devyn because of the audition cos everyone was busy with one thing or the other. She hadnβt even seen MARVINS ever since Maikel sent her the guitar. They were nowhere around the school premises.
β Are you sure youβre ready for tomorrow?β Lesley asked and Devyn nodded.
β Iβm not singing. Iβll just sit and play the piano while you sing so itβs no big dealβ She said and Lesley nodded gently.
She was about to say something else when Miss Rachel walked into class. Miss Rachel wasnβt smiling like the other days so the students didnβt utter any words, cos they did not want to offend her.
β Good morning yβallβ She began and the students were afraid to respond to her greetings cos, they didnβt want to be too loud or too low so they wonβt get punished.
β Well, as we all know, the audition is tomorrow and it wonβt be taking place in our school but another. If you know youβre capable of showcasing your talent without disgracing your lineage, then raise your handsβ She said, but no one did.
β Apart from Lesley and Devyn, no one is gonna try to perform? Well, the audition is a three-day thing. Only those that get to the finals will be broadcasted worldwide. Even famous singers might watch youβ
β The Marvins arenβt in school but at Maikelβs home, training cos he has his personal studio where music studies him. Yeah, music studies himβ Miss Rachel bragged and Devyn smiled.
β I know theyβre gonna come out first cos I trust Valerie and Sweetheart very much, talk more of the other members. They were just like you and I was once their teacher. I was with them the day they auditioned and since then, theyβre all well-known now. You can also do the sameβ She concluded.
β Devyn and Lesley, your names are on the list already. See me in my office tomorrow so we could go together. For spectators, the address will be disclosed on the school blog tonightβ
π₯
How does she want to sing when she has no voice?
π₯
Canβt wait for them to disgrace themselves.
π₯
I believe in MARVINS
π₯
In MARVINS we trust.
The students kept murmuring among themselves but Devyn tried not to look bothered.
β Alright everyone, thatβll be all forβ¦ β Miss Rachel stopped when she heard sounds from the door. She looked at it to see two people struggling to enter at the same time.
β Let me go in first β The first guy said but the second guy wouldnβt let him hence drawing the studentsβ attention.
π₯
Did heaven chase down angels today?
π₯
Theyβre totally my style.
β Blueberry?β Devyn exclaimed, shocked. How the hell did he get to her school? She wondered.
β Who are you both?β Miss Rachel asked and the two guys stopped pushing each other.
β Me?β The first guy asked and Miss Rachel eyed him.
β Oh! Iβm Mu Yul, the best grimβ¦ β He paused and looked at Miss Rachel who had her brows raised, urging him to continue.
β The best what?β
β Iβll be the best student here, I promiseβ He replied. β I heard about this school and wanted to learn how to sing tooβ He added. Rachel faced Blueberry who wanted to walk past her but she pulled him back gently.
β You didnβt answer my question. I just asked what your name isβ She said again, but Blueberry kept mute as he stared at her.
β Theyβre asking for your name dummyβ Mu Yul leaned closer and whispered into Blueberryβs ears.
β Your name or you leave my classβ Miss Rachel said.
β He doesnβt talk, heβsβ¦. β
β Iβm Blueberryβ¦ Blue or Berry for short β Blueberry interrupted and Devyn almost died from shock.
She went speechless as she stared at him shockingly.
β Did he justβ¦ talk?β Devyn asked, her eyes wide as she blinked rapidly.
π₯
Jeez.. his voice!
π₯
I could hear him talk all day.
π₯
Blueberry?
π₯
Even his name is sΓ«xy.
β Blue or Berry?β Miss. Rachel raised a confused brow.
β Anyone or just combine both namesβ Blueberry replied and Miss Rachel chuckled. Sheβs never seen a student so brazened.
β Are you insane?β She asked to be sure.
Cluelessly, Blueberry turned to Mu Yul.
β Whatβs insane? β He asked. Devyn who read his lips facepalmed herself.
β Itβs a good word. It means you look good β Mu Yul replied proudly and Blueberry faced Miss Rachel again.
β Yes, Iβm insane β He blurted out.
