Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2003 21:13:58 +0800 From: Lira Feliciano Subject: The Greatest Mistake-Ch. 1 Lena opened the door of the auditorium, there's no one there so she decided to come up to the stage and do some thinking of how she next school play be featured in this. She is the school play director for an extraordinary play of identity problem of a student and how to deal with it in an artistic way but the problem is who's going to play the role of a high school girl who's involve in different relationships. Lena wants a girl who has the power to manipulate and the power to make the character to be possible. She already imagined the play but she could not imagine the girl, so in disappointment she walked out of the room and headed for her class. It's the first day of school and a lot of new faces are in the house, in her talent of being the youngest director who even took the responsibility for a very big event, it is not a problem to be popular. Everyone knows her, a sophomore with a great mind so she gained respect in her earliest days of high school. Everybody smiles at her and she returned it with a sweet hello. She enters her classroom and headed to her seat while waiting for her professor. " Hi Lena! " a girl sat next her, her name is Andy, Lena's best friend and neighbor " Hi Andy, what's up?" " Did you know that we are going to have a new classmate" " Really, I wish she's kind because aside from you I don't really have a close friend, and now that your with George, I guess I'm out of the picture" " Oh Lena don't say that, you're still my best friend" " I know but you have your priorities" " Okay I will not argue with you, well I'm excited to know her, it seems that you want to be her friend already and you haven't seen each other, maybe your soulmates" Andy jokes " Well we have to wait until she arrives" The professor came and stands in front, she saw Lena and give her a quick smile. Lena smiled back and when she look at the door she saw a beautiful girls, a girl so different, from the black short hair, very white skin, small nose, red lips and seductive eyes, you wont even know she's from lower class. Professor Johnson started to speak while the whole class is looking at the girl by the door. " Class, I would like to introduce you to your new classmate. This is Ayen Montero" she signaled her to enter " So Ayen introduce yourself" Ayen stand up straight and look at the class feeling quite nervous but it doesn't make her dumb in front of them. " Im Ayen and I'm from downtown, I like a lot of things and willing to be involve in your society" Lena is quite impressed and liked her so much that she doesn't even took her eyes off Ayen. Ayen took notice and smiled at her, Lena was blown away and realize that she's been staring at her for too long. " Ayen why don't you take the vacant seat near Miss Avalon and that will be yours permanently" " Thanks Miss Johnson" Ayen took her seat and made sexy way to cross her leg and try not to look at Lena. As Miss Johnson finishes her discussion, she dismissed the class. " Lena I have to go, George is waiting for me, we'll going to meet at the cafe or maybe you want to come with us" " No thanks, you go ahead I have something to do" " Ok, why don't you make friends with Ayen and I'll see you later" said Andy almost a whisper and went out and all is left in the room is Lena and Ayen. " Hi Im Lena" she took out her hand for a shake but Ayen just stare at her. Instead of taking her hand she lean her face on Lena and kissed her " Hello" she smiled and walk away Lena is in a state of shock because she never met a girl so aggressive before. She stands there for a long time thinking of Ayen and then it hit her, she wants Ayen for the play and she must ask her. Lena run outside but she couldn't find Ayen, she went outside but she didn't know that Ayen is right behind her " Looking for me?" Ayen said, Lena stumbled and looking nervous and said " Yes, I just want to ask you something" Ayen was thrilled " Really what is it?" " I want you to become a part of our school play" Ayen think for while " It will be great your going to be the leading actress" then Ayen began to smile " I just enter this school and your asking me the leading role? What are you?" " Im the director" Ayen looked startled " So young huh!" " I know, you want?" " Okay we'll talk about it later coz I have something to do, so see you later" Ayen smiled " Sure!" Lena replied And before Ayen go she kissed Lena again, which make Lena blushed for the second time. She thought that it is casual for someone who lives downtown but that's the first time she was ever kissed by anyone. Lena went to the library and read some more problems of teenagers of today. Nad she thought of a new project for the play, why don't she feature an unconditional love of someone who cannot give the love for another because of their sexuality. The afternoon began and she went for her class. She expected to see Ayen in the room. When she entered, she saw her with a feeling she can't understand as if she can't wait to sit next by her and talk to her. But she thinks that she just admire her for her beauty and now she sees her talking to some boys and they were around her, and she feels a little bit jealous. When Ayen saw her, she noticed that Lena is looking at her but she doesn't seem to be in this world. " Hey guys can I talk to you later, I have something to arrange with Lena" the guys smiled and went back talking to each other. " Hey Lena, come here!" Lena came back to her senses and made her way to her chair " So have you decided to join us?" Ayen smiled " Are you going to be in it?" " No I'll just direct you that's all" " Oh, so what's the story about?" Lena hesitated to tell coz she's a little bit unsure " Maybe I should tell you if ive got the plot" " Ok no problem for me" Ayen smiled and turn her back to Lena " Umm Ayen, can we have snack later, you know to get to know each other" " Yeah sure, no problem, see you at the cafe by 4" " Sure!" they arrange themselves as the class is getting started Lena can't stop looking at Ayen and then she thinks that she's getting weird, so she concentrated her mind to her lesson. What she didn't know is that Ayen felt the same way, she knows what she's feeling but afraid to admit it coz she didn't want to commit the same mistake again of falling in love without assurance. But still there is no harm in knowing her
