Overshadowed stars

Samantha couldn’t enjoy her sleep as her crazy friends kept on playing loud music.

She kept on tossing around, and when she couldn’t take it anymore, she opened her eyes and sat up.

“Are you girls crazy??!” She yelled, and the three girls laughed.

“As if you’re different.” Stella said, and raised the volume of the music.

“Won’t you get ready for school??” Selena asked, and Samantha rolled her eyes.

“What about you??” She asked, getting off the bed slowly.

“We’re ready. We only need to change our dresses, we were waiting for you to also get ready before we put on our uniforms.” Selena replied.

Samantha walked sluggishly to the bathroom, and immediately she opened the door to enter, pänts of different colors started falling on her.

She got hold of one and took a close look at it. She realized that it’s a pänt, and threw it out.

“Are you girls out of your mind?! How could you put your stinky pänts here??!” She yelled, and the girls started laughing.

“That’s the punishment for waking up late. Come on go inside now and take a quick bath.” Sophie said.

“Gösh! Y’all will pay for this.” Samantha said while closing the door behind.

CROWN STARS COLLEGE**

Shouts and screams filled the air as The ‘S’ Stars made their entry into the school compound.

Girls wish to be like them, boys wish to have them as their girlfriends. The shouts increased as Sophie smiled and wave her hand at them.

A girl walked past them in a hurry, stepping on Samantha’s foot unknowingly.

“Hey! Come back here!” Samantha yelled, and the girl turned back, and walked back to them.

“Do you not know that you stepped on me??” Samantha asked, and the girl faced down. She was already trembling.

“Chusuanmitda. (I’m sorry)” The girl said, and bowed.

“Sorry won’t do… Stella, pass me the handkerchief.” Samantha said, and Stella handed her the handkerchief. She threw it at the girl’s face.

“Wipe off the dirt.” She said with her arms akimbo.

“Uh??”

“Are you deaf?? I said wipe it off!” Samantha yelled, and the girl go down on her knees. She started wiping the dirt off Samantha’s shoe as tears trickled down from her eyes.

“Please let her go. She have somewhere to go urgently.” Yoona, the girl’s friend said, and Samantha glared at her.

“Will you stay quiet or you want me to shut that stinky mouth of yours for you??” She said rudely, and Yoona stepped back.

When the girl was done, she stood up and stretched the handkerchief to Samantha.

“You can keep it, because I can’t use it anymore.” Samantha said, and walked away. Selena and Stella also followed.

Sophie walked closer to the girl, and smiled at her.

“I apologize on her behalf, please forgive her.” Sophie said, and the girl nodded.

“Do you really have somewhere important to go??” She asked.

“Yes, but I can’t go again. They won’t allow me in if I go now.” The girl replied sadly.

“Oh! I’m really sorry about that… but can I know where you’re going?? I might be of help.” Sophie said.

“I want to go and register for the ‘Face of S-WAY’, but the time for registration is over.” The girl replied, and Sophie pouted. She felt pity for her.

“But why didn’t you register for it earlier??” Sophie asked, and the girl sighed.

“I just got the money for registration this morning.”

“Oh!… Anyways, I guess you’ll get registered.” Sophie said, and the girl raised a brow.

“What do you mean??” She asked Sophie.

“What’s your name??” Sophie asked, ignoring her question.

“Han Ju-rheong.” The girl replied, and Sophie brought out her phone. She dialed a number, and the person answered almost immediately.

“Sophie Park on the line.” She said.

“Oh! Miss Sophie, how may I help you?? Do you have some work for me??” The person asked over the phone.

“Not really. Erm… please I’d like you to help me to register a girl for the Face of S-WAY.” Sophie said.

“Oh! But the registration is over.” The person said.

“I know. Please do this for me.” Sophie said, and the person sighed.

“Alright. What’s her name??”

“Han Ju-rheong.”

“Okay. Tell her to come right away.” The person said, and Sophie smiled.

“Alright. Thank you so much Ms Nam.” She said, and hung up.
