Starstruck Battle Royale - Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

First step to doom...

One by one the students arrived at the front gate. Some of them shouting, hugging, teasing and even chasing each other. They are all in standing in groups, laughing and discussing on what they are planning to do, food they brought on the bus ride, new songs they downloaded. All except Farid who was sitting alone with ear plugs on and shutting the world away from him.

If it was up to Farid, he would have never agreed to come to this trip with a bunch of losers that is pretty much lifeless. He have so much more things to do but his mother and here constant nagging really got to him.

"That's nice, a trip. It's free too? You should totally go, Rid." his mother had said while cleaning the pots that were kept hidden in the cabinet for ages. It was not peculiar when his mother starts doing something unusual. She always finds something to occupy herself when his dad was away. That one time she decided to knock down the walls of his room and make a garden there. Or the time he almost got killed because of her.

"I'm not going, just telling you so you can say no when the teacher calls." Farid replied, not making eye-contact but flipping through the magazine left lying around.

"You have to go. It's better than staying here and drawing those terrifying portraits you seem to enjoy so." she said, shaking her head slightly. She then looks down at the sponge she was holding and started stuffing it in her shirt. 

Farid moved like lightning and took the sponge away from her. "No, mum. Besides, the drawings are true and real." Farid moved away and hid the sponge from her mother. He hates many things but drawing memorials of war or detailed drawings of man getting eaten by a tiger on canvas appeals to him. "I'm not going." he pressed firmly.

And here he was, sitting here, forced to go. He thought to himself, "At least I have my iPod, I can shut the world away." He would prefer to live in a world, free of anyone so he is free to do anything. He took out a sketchpad and continued the current masterpiece, the worms eating the insides of a human's gut. He smiled when he imagined the worms, eating a human from the inside, hollowing it and slowly killing the human. He was finally deep in his own world.

“Do the students all know Ivan and Syaza?” asked Miss Ann-Marie.

“Well most of us do. Well, if you don’t let me introduce them to you guys. Syaza is my sister and Ivan is her boy…I mean friend. He’s a friend.” Yuki said with a nervous laugh.

“Oh sod it, Yuki. We know their dating, kind of obvious, don’t you think?” Kaveeta laughed and pointed at Syaza and Ivan who was holding hands. They pulled their hands apart as soon as they realized that they have an audience. This caused them to all burst out laughing. Farid shake his head but he can’t stop the smile creeping on his lips.

*

The bus was cramped. The air smelled musty and the mixture of all different body odours. From the window, the sun high in the sky shines down on them. Some windows was covered by curtains to prevent the sun rays from entering while some are cranked down low to let some air roll in.  Beads of sweat trickled down faces of the students of class 5 Starstruck. Most students were sweating profusely and kept dabbing their foreheads with cloths. Kaveeta who was the head cheerleader was still looking fine with not a single hair out of place and crisp like it was just blow-dryed.

"Do you not sweat?" Yuki asked, shaking her head. Yuki is sitting opposite Kaveeta and she's annoyed at how everyone is sweating like pigs but Miss Oh-So-Perfect is sitting there, laughing without a single bead of sweat. Kaveeta has always been the popular cheerleader, the girl all the boys want to date. Sometimes Yuki wish that somebody will just tell Kaveeta off for being so vain and full of herself.

Kaveeta throw her head back and laughed. "Beautiful people doesn't sweat. I guess that's something you don't know about." That causes another round of laughter from her stuck up posse, Najihah, Amelia, Chan, Amber and Nalina.

"Since you don't sweat, why don't I help you?" Adrian said and reached forward to dump the contents of the water from his bottle on Kaveeta's head. Kaveeta screamed so loud that everyone had to cover their ears but all of them started laughing seeing her trying to find something to soak the water all over her.

"Thanks." Yuki said and smile at Adrian.

"No problem. Who wants to hear her gloat all the way anyway." Adrian said and turn back to his friend.

Kaveeta turned around and glared. Someone is going to suffer for this and she just knows who. 

Hi everyone!

I'm finally here!!!

After months of dilly-dally on whether I should get a blog or not.

Starstruck Battle Royale - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

It’s just a harmless school trip

                 A particular school day had been rather interesting for class 5 Starstruck. Partly due to the fact that Tim, the class clown, had been caught by the newly appointed homeroom teacher, Miss Ann-Marie for trying to slip a fake snake into her purse. He was punished so severely by the new, stunning teacher – by standing in front of the class for the whole period with the fake snake on his head without making any noise – that the teacher had earned new respect from the whole class in a short span of time.
                 “Okay, class, since the semester break is coming, are you planning on doing something?” Miss Ann-Marie asked innocently – while still glaring at Tim who tried his hardest to not laugh.
                 “I don’t think so, teacher, my parents will be busy overseas so I’m stuck at home“ replied Ashvin, the class president with a tendency to be kind to everyone.
                 “Noob” whispered a voice – Felix’s – from behind, causing some giggles from his pals, Darren, Adrian and the mischievous girls.
                 “Me and Arreya are planning to go to the big mall in the city, I heard the cute new dresses are already there to be purchased by us” Shu Ern winked at Arreya who winked back, God save their dads’ credit cards after they’re done with them. Some other enthusiastic students expressed their wishes to visit some places, some even said that they’ll just hibernate for the whole holiday.
                 “Farid? Are you with us?” The concerned teacher asked a silent boy who seemed to not be interested with the commotion. The boy named Farid looked up from his desk, blankly stared at the teacher and continued watching the wall. “Yes, Miss, I’m still here” replied Farid dully.
                 “Ahah, don’t worry, teacher, he’s always like that! Maybe he’s stuck in his own world?” Chuckled cheerful Lucas, trying his hardest to ensure that the new teacher was not offended by Farid’s action. The class buzzed on with excitement as they wait for the final bell for the first semester to ring, signifying the end of school for the semester; Tim seemed to be extra eager to end the class, seeing that he had been standing for a really long time now.
                 “Too bad if you already planned something for the holiday, because I’m proposing for us to celebrate the end of the semester together, how about that?” Ann-Marie’s sentenced echoed around the class; sparks begin to shine in the students’ eyes upon hearing that.
                 “Do I have your attention? Ah good, I’m thinking, since we’re free for 2 weeks, what about we all go on a school trip to somewhere fun? You know, like a fun park or someplace intriguing” Said the teacher with a smile a teacher shouldn’t have – especially among her own students.
                 “But teacher, where exactly? What about the fare, permission letters and such?” Asked the curious vice president of 5S who seems to find flaws and problems even as tiny as an amoeba.
               “All can be taken care of, I’ll call all your parents for the permission and even better, the fare will be sponsored by me, I came from a rich family, you know! The only requirements for you guys is to be standing by at the school gate with clothes and other necessary things enough for a 4 day trip. 1st of June, everyone agrees?” Miss Ann-Marie cheerfully explained that the location of their destination is to be remained a secret, but she promised that it will be “a trip of a lifetime” for everyone. Almost every student agreed with the plan immediately, even suspicious Claire decided that there’s no harm in that.
                 “Daryl, you’re going?” asked caring Aifa who perfectly knows that Cheah’s discomfort with other people.
                 “I don’t know, Aifa, maybe not” answered Cheah nervously to the only human in the school that he found comfort with talking to.
                  “Come on la Daryl, it’s just a harmless school trip. When else can we find a golden opportunity like this? I’ll definitely be going so I expect you to do so too. Come on, don’t make that face! It’ll be fun.” Aifa said innocently, completely unaware on how wrong her statement was.

Starstruck Battle Royale

Prologue

When the time comes, will you kill your own friends?

Class 5 Starstruck is like any other troublesome class you could think of. Teenagers together with different interests, pasts, and ambitions going to school, interacting with others and influenced by common things humans do. But 5S is special in some way; these 37 students had once been taught by a teacher. A single, fragile teacher who had chosen death over life. Perhaps this article could best describe the incident.

Local Teacher Commits Suicide

A teacher from SMK The Star has been found dead in her apartment on February 1.  The body was found by her neighbour, who reported hearing some weird noises from her apartment so she decided to check on Chow Qing, 37, who lives alone. “I was worried that she was being robbed or something, because I definitely heard some grunting and furniture being knocked down” says the neighbour who wished to remain anonymous. Needless to say, she was shocked by seeing Chow Qing hanging from the ceiling a rope around her neck.

Upon the arrival of the ambulance, Chow Qing was confirmed dead by committing suicide, local police did not find any clue that lead to murder. From the testimony from her neighbours and close contacts, it is believed that she was highly depressed for the whole week. No note was found in her apartment signifying that she had voluntarily committed suicide but with lack of evidence, the police closed the case and filed that Chow Qing had killed herself due to depression.

This particular incident is rather intriguing, considering that Chow Qing, who was the homeroom teacher for class 5 Starstruck had been trying her best to move to another class but her applications was rejected hardly by the principal. From here, a question wanders around the school; what had the class done that was so bad, that a teacher committed suicide?

-O.N.E D.I.R.E.C.T.I.O.N-

Now, I will post something everyone agrees is awesome, adorable and all the nice adjectives that you can find. 

ONE DIRECTION!

BOYS. HEH. Girls just love 'em. Cute ones, especially. Like these guys

 Unless you've been living under a rock, you would have heard of One Direction, constantly making their rounds on the radio, getting into trouble and pulling ridiculous pranks and most of all, performing with their hearts and souls. Its all about the music and talent, no doubt. Plus, adorable-ness. And bangla-ness. I will get back to that "racist joke" statement later.

ALBUM: UP ALL NIGHT

Simon Cowell brought this band together when the boys' outstanding talents were recgonised on the X-Factor, by Nicole Scherzinger, mostly, who suggested that they form a band after the five did not qualify for the Boys' category. Wow, Simon sure knows how to put a band together. The classic band all girls would fall for, and boys approve of. Le Simon has skills. 

Simon Cowell has awesome skills

LE BOYS.

About the racist joke I made earlier, I don't care what anyone else thinks, but Zayn is MY bangla. He can be your whatever but he is my bangla. Bangla because personally, Zayn looks like a hot bangla. Vocal-wise, he sings like a bangla :) Problem sir? Okay, just to please people (do I have to?) he's half Pakistani and half Mat Salleh.

Birthday: 12 January 1993

From wikipedia: Malik didn't fit in at his first two schools due to his heritage, revealing that when he and his sister moved schools he felt he fit in better.

 At bootcamp, he sang "Make You Feel My Love" before being rejected and put into One Direction. Malik was noted for becoming nervous in bootcamp, and when he was told he had to dance, he decided to remain backstage, effectively running the risk of elimination. Cowell noticed Malik missing from the dance routine and went backstage and convinced him to return.

Instruments: ehm... triangle, anyone?

***Irrelevant: Cheer practice officially starts next week :/ oh dear

I don't know what to talk about ... I dunno how to relive this group but hey what's your thoughts of reincarnation. One of my friends did an oral Presenration on this topic and it ended up really touching and sad... Her cousin sister eventually died of brain tumor and what surprised her family now is that her little brother is acting and having the same passion like her cousin. Both of them love eggs and chocolates. What was even more shocking is that her little brother had the same scars as her cousin sister had before. To her cousin sister, the scars were the symptoms of brain tumor. Now, her family is scared that her brother might gets brain tumor too... Everyone in the class were shocked because we never knew it was her little brother and her cousin sister. until the end of her oral presentation only she started telling that the girl who died was her cousin sister and now her brother is having that risk too...
