"Ava!" a red-haired girl cried out as she ran to the girl who just come out of a black Maybach
The girl wore a white floral cocktail dress with a white jean jacket over it... Her hair was tied in a ponytail...she wore a gold-rimmed sunglass
"How can you leave me it's not fair," the red-haired girl said
"oh enough with your drama Olivia " Kendra rolled her eyes at the Drama Queen
"Where's Praise and Amelia," Kendra asked
"they are inside the cafe I just came out to take some fresh air because I still can't believe that you're leaving me " Oliva placed her plan on her head dramatically
"Why did you choose to be a model Olivia... Acting would suit you better... You're such a drama queen" Kendra said as they walked into the cafe
"wow... The goddess Ava is here" Praise said dramatically standing up to bow to the girl who just came in with Olivia
"This is your 1:00 and you came by 1:30," Amelia said sarcastically
"Sorry guys I needed to pack"Kendra apologized
"ok ok sit... I have news for you... It might be good news for you but not for me and Oliva" Amelia said while patting the chair beside her
"what news"Kendra said as she sat on the chair curiously
"praise is going back to America, " Oliva said
"That was the reason I went out to take some fresh air I couldn't bear the news of two of my best friends leaving me and Amelia behind" Olivia said and Kendra could see the sadness in her eyes which she tried to hide with her drama
A tear slipped from the corner of Olivia's eye which made Amelia emotional
Olivia was the most emotional among the four of them but she always tries so hard to mask it with her drama... But seeing her like this made them emotional
"I knew this would happen and that's why I brought four free handkerchiefs so you all can cry as much as you want "Praise said as she reached for her bag and brought out four handkerchiefs they looked at her and burst into laughter... They knew that she was trying to lighten up the mood... She was the strongest in their group and also the funniest
Olivia, Amelia and Kendra took the handkerchiefs and wiped their tears
They sat in silence for a while to calm down
"So Praise... When are you going back to America" Kendra asked
"uhm that would be after my last show... I already told your uncle and he was willing to help me with my transcript so I'll be working with you at the headquarters" Parise declared
"Really?" Kendra asked happily
"Yeah"
"told you... It was gonna be good news for you... But I'm happy at least you aren't gonna be alone in America " Oliva said
"yes... I won't cry... I won't cry... My Kendra won't be alone... So I won't cry" Oliva said pressing her lips together to hold her tears
"I need to make use of the restroom... I'll be back" Olivia said and ran to the restroom
"Poor Olive she has held it in for too long... Let her let it out" Praise said
"Why do you suddenly want to go to America praise" Amelia asked
"my grandpa suddenly became sick so my parents asked me to come back home" Praise said
Praise was an American but she came to England 10 years ago and she had stayed with her aunt since then she often went to America during her free time but she doesn't stay long
"guess what guys," Praise said with sparkling eyes
"what," Olivia said making their heads turn towards her direction... They laughed at her expression
"you're always right on time for gossip aren't you" Kendra said as she watched Olivia take her seat in curiosity
"This child" Praise smiled
"Well, my dad is one of the Judges for the Starheight competition it was also one of the reasons he told me to come home is that I can watch him judge and my last show is coming up in the next two months so I'll be leaving, after the show," Praise said
"really... My uncle received an offer too but he rejected it because I was part of the competition... I told you all about Dazzling right" Kendra said
"as expected from Uncle Huxley... He doesn't give room for rumours" Amelia said
"I forgot that you're participating in the Star Height Competition Kendra... Do you know that Dazzling is partnering with Sparkling Beauty" Olivia said
"Really? The smiths? " Kendra asked with widened eyes
"Uncle never told me," Kendra said
"that means-"Praise didn't get to complete her words
"Senior Xavier must be participating too," Amelia said with sparking eyes as they all looked at Kendra with teasing eyes
"you still have a crush on senior don't you Ava" Amelia winked at the girl whose face was as red as a tomato
"oh my god, you guys are so lucky... And I'll ask my grandpa... I'll make sure to be there" Olivia said
"look who's blushing now... I thought you said the crush died when you saw him with senior Yoon" Praise teased
"it died... You guys should stop teasing me... It isn't funny" Kendra yelled
"Hmmm..." Amelia winked
"and as I said before, I think he likes Korean girls more" Kendra said fidgeting
"ok ok..... Let's stop with senior Xavier's matter we came here to have fun... Now where are we going from here"Amelia asked taking a sip from her coffee
"Well I booked some movie tickets and we're gonna play games and go for karaoke" Praise said
"Well, what are we waiting for...Let's go.." Oliva said as he ran out of the cafe leaving her bag behind which Kendra helped her to carry
"This child is something else" Praise said as they laughed while leaving the cafe

Meanwhile in New York York in the Arisons Mansion
"This can't be happening..... We can't let this happen " A woman said in anger
"we've tried so hard to keep him away from America for a long time and we even left our daughter there... Now Father wants to ruin our plans " the man said
"if that woman happens to meet him what are we gonna do... Do something, Clifford... "The woman said
