To avoid burn out, the mock exams are held two weeks prior to the final exams, leaving the last week a time for light revisions.
The mock exams are an occasion for an event afterwards, a fully students' sponsored party.
So for me, to hit two birds in one stone, I'm going to use Nadeer's feelings towards Inna to throw the best party for our class.
"Listen to me you outsider, don't you dare cause any action that might ruin the plan and don't you dare do something without discussing it with me first..."
As i said before, i made a choice, this is going to be super fun. Everything will go the way Nadeer want it.
I wanted to give him an experience that he'd never forget, he's going to appreciate how much of a help i am in finding his love. Inna would eventually too.
Slowly as we spent time together, i started to grow on me, his personality that's innocent even though he's a perv is appealing, he's so fun to be around.
'Of course not! This is the greatest idea I've ever heard! I can't wait for us to get started...'
I thought so too, i couldn't wait to see the moment Inna meets Nadeer.
'But something's very unsettling is bothering me, do you think she would be able to come?'
"Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem, attending the afterparty is totally appropriate academic activity, her family would definitely be fine with her going..."
'No i didn't mean that, i meant her. Would she bring herself to come...'
I wasn't sure if she's would or would not personally come, but i wasn't gonna let that hold me back, so i made some moves to make her do so.
"I'm on it. Let's just have to pray she shows up. I'm going to be faithful."
'It would be a shame for her not to show up, after everything this party has cost me. Might start skipping dinner for a while.'
'Hey! I told you i would too! And think about the stories you're going to leave with... You said you're going to ask your old mates too to donate, right?'
'Ah yeah, they agreed to, but they will come too. They're not the kind of people you want to see at your party.'
"... Oh come on how bad can they be. There's nothing that is bad that our school can't deal with. We have our share of deliquents jocks in our school too, and they will come and donate to the party. It's going to be a balanced equation."
'Yeah. You might be right. I do hope they get along well. I'll try to tell them to be cool. I'll tell them to do it for my sake.'
"Haha... Anything to make the party go smoothly."
"Okay, i guess we have to ourselves a great establishment. So now we can focus on main goal. Inna. She's the one we have to take care of at the moment. Okay?"
'YES! I'll sell the every last asset my family own, just for the chance of being with her.'
I see some of the lessons that i had with Inna elevated my speech skills...
. . .
After three rough days of mock exams, it's time for the party to start.
We chose the park of the memorial to throw the party. All the people who are invited will be occupying a chunk of the park.
Me and my friends were behind sending out invitations. We have invited the whole class, who also invited people they know. We didn't bother to invite the elite since they we already know they are not coming.
I made sure to declare Nadeer as the party thrower, trying to gain him social points that could help him on getting closer with Inna.
As for the party itself, i wanted him to take of the organization. Considering the fact that he still not accustomed to the school, he can't afford to waste this chance and throw a lame party.
And ideed, he successfully checked everything needed. Beverges, food, sweets speakers for the music crew students.
The party started to become louder when crowds of the deliquent jocks showed up with their extravagance, i was ready to get wasted with them but i had to stay cautious for the plan and Inna.
"Hey Bina, did she come yet?"
While inspecting i bumped into one of my classmates.
"I don't think so, Imma ask around to see."
"Oh that's a shame... I was with Nadeer earlier he was asking for you, he wants you to come see him, he's in the bathroom."
What could he possibly want, he needs to be outside now.
It was 6pm, which means everyone who could come to the party has came, so we have to finish up preparing the main event.
"Hello?"
'Ah, Ruby.'
"Why are you hiding here, the party is outside, get your ass in there."
'Yeah... I'm not feeling well right now.'
"What do you mean?"
He indeed didn't seem well, he was trumbling and uncomfortable with himself.
'... I didn't know this many people are gonna come, I'm not the kind of person who can handle a huge crowd.'
"I see what you mean, you scared of being turned down by Inna in front of everybody, but don't forget, we worked so hard to get this far. We need to be as strong as we could. Just breath for me and let those concerns fade away."
He was silent, playing with the edge of his pants pockets so hard, making me get concerned more.
But then out of nowhere, he switched to the comically happy personality he usually put on, and he replied with his goofy voice.
'Yeah, the fear of crowds is not getting between me and my goal. I'm gonna create a memorable moment!, next to when my smut novel is gonna finally take off.'
"... Yeah."
Hearing him talk like such a relief at the time, but i failed to realize something important, or rather i chose not to think about it. I shouldn't dismissed his attitude. That is gonna punish him later on.
. . .
Returning to inspecting, i saw my friends grouped up together next to a tree.
"What's up, is everything going alright?"
"There's so much tension rising around, things might get out of control soon."
"Look Ruby. Check out who we ran into."
"... Oh! Runa!"
"Ruby! How's it going."
"Good, you came to this party too? Don't tell me you know Nadeer..."
"No~ i came here with a friend of mine. This party really brought every school in the region together."
Amira intervened to anger me:
"It's all because of Ruby's and her list of people she was begging to come. Like she was getting married or sumn"
"Shut up—Wow Runa, that's quiet the reunion, i glad to see you he-"
I was interrupted by a huge commotion caused by a group people, which made me go there and inspect.
"I'm gonna see what's going on real quick."
Approaching the scene, i went straight to the only person who could be responsible of this.
"Hey, this is an academic event, keep your clique and your shenanigans out of here."
"What's good Ruby. We're just having a little fun. We don't be around this kind of crowd a lot of times."
"When i told you to come, i didn't mean you take the opportunity and bother the students. I'm doing this for my friend, don't ruin it."
"Alright, don't sweat it, you know I'm a man of his word."
"... Is that so. Well then, is she coming?!"
"That's right, your friend should be here anytime now, if she's not already."
"Oh... That's good."
"No problem. I'll always be there for my girl. I hope whatever you're trying to achieve with that boy is worth the effort."
"It's not like that, matter of fact! I'm the one who's doing the favor, why would i have any sort of shady intentions..."
"Whatever you say."
"... Alright then. Thanks, I'm really grateful for your help."
"Hmmm."
That was the worst part, having to ask Loka to do me a favor made me crawl under my skin. But he got it done afterall.
After conforming that Inna is coming, i had no reason to hold for the main event on anymore, we can start now, the Prom Stage.
"Alright Everyone. We are about to Start the Event that y'all Have Been Waiting For."
The place got dimmed and the lightning got replaced by more romantic lights we set up for this specific event.
The calm music started playimg and the couples starting to get together, for what they know, they're expecting to take pictures like any prom, but we have to add a small touch.
"Everybody! Before we get started, we have something to tell y'all first. I know you're probably already with your partner, but you'll not have the right to take a picture at the stage until the confession screen tell so. I'm going to explain the rules of our game."
"That's all. With everyone set, let the match game begin!"
