JiaJia eyes focus on the white board in front of him. Try to draw his new plan. But he still not satisfy with his own drawing. Felt like he was missing something. Something important. But he can't predicted it.
"Arghhhh... Why so hard...I'm stuck...."
Thud!
JiaJia slumps his head on the board. Wish all the ideas came in flash.
"Don't to hard on yourself."
JiaJia turn his head. XinXin came with a cup of coffee. He shoved to JiaJia. JiaJia take it and take a sip without any delay.
"Hot!"
JiaJia let out his tongue. XinXin shake his head. "You're never lesson. Always glup your coffee without blowing it first. Now serve you right?. Haaa...hopeless." XinXin turn his gaze on the white board. "Urgh...so messy."
"How was your plans?"
XinXin turned towards JiaJia. He take back his coffee from JiaJia hand and take a sip. "Ahhh...refreshing. I'm so good at making a coffee. May be, I can open a coffee shop in the future." XinXin smile proudly. He never let's any opportunities to praise himself slips away. Narcissistic indeed.
"I don't know. I felt like something was missing. Something important."
JiaJia threw the white board marker in his hand on the table. Let go all the frustration feeling that blotting in his heart. He needs to find the things that he was missing quickly.
"What do you want to achieve here? In you plan?"
XinXin gaze at JiaJia frustrated face. He smile. Looking at his friend new side indeed interesting.
"I want something Wow! I don't know how to describe it. I just..."
JiaJia walk in front of XinXin and rise his hand and make a fireworks gesture to the air.
"Wow!"
He said with his sparkling eyes. XinXin nodded his head in agreement. Its rarely to see JiaJia so excited, better not ruin this treasury moment. Truth to be told, XinXin can't understand even a single point of JiaJia words.
"How about we mix our cheography with rhythm gymnas cheography."
Said XiangXiang out of nowhere. He just popped up there with the others.
"Hmmm?"
JiaJia head full of questions marks after hearing XiangXiang bold idea.
"Backflip. We always do it in our training."
JiaJia and XinXin looked at each other. "What was that backflip thing?"
"Ermm...let me show you. It was like this"
XiangXiang start to show everyone how to do a backflip.
"Like that. How was that? It's a Wow! right?"
JiaJia mouth wide open in disbelief. XinXin make a scary expression. Yaya cover his mouth out of shocked.
"Isn't it suicidal?"
Ask XinXin in fear. YuanYuan pat XinXin shoulder. He smile naughtily. "You also know what is fear ha? spartan?"
"Relex brother XinXin. The three of us was here right. It not suicidal...not suicidal.."
YuanYuan said with such a sly face expression that calling XinXin anger. XinXin smack YuanYuan forehead.
"Show-off "
XinXin pick a marker pen and walk towards the messy white board. He write down 'backflip' on it.
"Wanna add more? We can try to mix the other concepts of dance. Like...ermmm...tango"
Suggest XinXin.
"Who know tangos?"
Ask JiaJia. Everyone eyes focus on XinXin face.
"Ermmm....we can learn it from online."
XinXin smile awkwardly. Said about tangos, he only remembered a few steps. He already left tangos more over a years. Now he only know pops and ballads.
"JiaJia you do ballet when you're in secondary school right?"
XinXin looked at clueless JiaJia.
"Can we mix ballet in our dance?"
JiaJia still clueless. He can't imagine how ballet could mix well with pop dance. He can't think other than disaster. Sometimes even angel like JiaJia could got a negative thoughts. He not yet turn sixteen. Still a pure teenager after all.
"We can try it. Everything biggest starting from "trial and error" right?"
Said XiangXiang full of determination. WenWen gaze at XiangXiang proudly. His XiangXiang indeed the braver and specialise in his parts. The charmer.
YuanYuan smile after he saw how proud WenWen expression for XiangXiang. "Show-off"
"Yaya. What basic you got?"
Ask YuanYuan. Yaya looks blankly at YuanYuan face.
"Samba"
Everyone eyes focus on Yaya face. He just sat there with his expressionless face. Don't know if he feels proud or shame with his talent.
"Okay. Here we had backflip, tangos, belles and samba. Now, we need to study about all those dance before the next tournament came up."
Said JiaJia.
"Errr... can't we add Tai chi on its?"
Asked WenWen. Everyone gaze at WenWen who smile awkwardly. He came from a dancer family yet he didn't learn dance. His parents too busy with their carers and put WenWen in his grandfather care. The Tai Chi master. As a grandson, he needs to inherited his grandfather Tai Chi legacy.
"Well..we..can consider it. Tai chi right?"
JiaJia add Tai Chi on the white board. "Tai Chi? What it's will look like in dance? Well, what ever. "trial and error" after all."
"And don't forget about upcoming test."
Said Mr Ruirui who just popped up without notice.
"Aww...teacher...why now...?"
JiaJia said in his disappointment. All of his flares for their new cheography been extinguished by Mr Ruirui words.
"What? That was your responsibility as a student. Don't say you're forgotten about it."
Mr Ruirui said bluntly. He walked towards JiaJia and smacked JiaJia forehead. Look like his naughty JiaJia was back. The naughty student who changed drastically after being abandoned by his respectful senior. Of course he is the only one who knows that side of JiaJia. The naughty kid who always being drags by his sister to become her mannequin.
"Don't worry. I trust that you can do well in both your test and new cheography."
Mr Ruirui pat his chest to show how he trusts his students. But he never knows how bad his trios in math.
After dinner, all seven kids gathered to brains washed themselves for the upcoming test. They struggled and helped each others. Only the trios who can't help much. Their scores was worse than a secondary school students. Only YuanYuan alone got an average score.
That's make everyone worried. If one of them fail, their qualification to enter any tournament will be eliminate.
"I will teach XiangXiang. And you take LinLin."
Whispered JiaJia. XinXin nodded.
"I will teach XiangXiang myself"
Said WenWen with his eyes wide open looking at both JiaJia and XinXin. Pour all of his jealousy feeling towards his seniors.
JiaJia and XinXin nodded synchronously in shock. Don't know how sharp his ears could be. Kids nowadays indeed scary. Don't trust with their pure looking face. They're more scary than a pack of wolf.
"I will teach LinLin and YuanYuan."
Said Yaya. Once again JiaJia and XinXin nodded synchronously. Can't believe they will be pushed away cruelly by their juniors. The same juniors who beg for mercy with their puppy eyes.
"Okay... but. Their score on the both of you."
JiaJia point Yaya and WenWen one by one.
"If one of them fail, all five of you will clean up the gym wash room for the three whole months. No excuses. No begging. Can you do it?"
Said JiaJia. His mother like smile was gone. All the five lost kids swallowed their saliva. Being trap by their own words. Sometimes love will drive you into an abyss. Think carefully kids.
"Quickly. Teach me this question."
XiangXiang whispered closely on WenWen ears. A pampered kids like him never do such a task. Cleaning gym wash room for three whole months, it's a hell for him.
WenWen smile proudly as XiangXiang whispered closely on his ears. His heart thumping loudly. He can't even hide his satisfaction.
XinXin and JiaJia looked at each other. "Hopeless." XinXin rollings his eyes. WenWen really beyond saved. "Indeed. I hope, love can't make him stupid" JiaJia shake his head. Having junior like WenWen really nerve-wracking. He can be both cute and annoying at the same times.
