"Annyeong haseyo and good morning ladies and gentlemen. This is Kwon Ji Yong, Editor-in-Chief of Aquinas Daily and fashion extraordinaire. Another fashion dos and don'ts for all you today: While you are allowed to wear cross necklaces and other item depicting your religion, you are not allowed to wear them during lab work. To the students who haven't returned the library books since last year, please do so and while you're at it, bring in some extra cash cause you'll be owing Mrs Ahn So Hee lots and lots of money. That is all. Kamsa hamnida."
"Yah, can you guys please hurry up? We're going top be late for our first dance meet!" cried Aris as he looked at his watch.Han Kyung, Min Ho and Sofia got out of the toilet door with an annoyed look at their faces.
"This is why I ratted on you guys. You guys are so damn annoying!" said Min Ho with an annoyed tone.
"That is your nature, Min Ho. You ratted on everybody who ticks you off." teased Aris
Min Ho rolled his eyes. "So what if I am? You and Shin Dong are an annoying bunch", he thought to himself.
Sofia and Han Kyung got annoyed at their bickering.
"Okay, can we go now? We're going to be late!"
[Nickhun]
The other six boys whowere doing warm-ups stopped and moved towards Nickhun. "We are the committee members of the Aquians Dance Squad. Let me introduce myself. I am Hickhun Horvejkul, from Thailand. I'm in my 4th year and I am the president fo the Aquinas Dance Squad."
A boy with a spiky hair stood up. "Hi, everybody. I am Park Jae Bom, from Seattle. 4th year. I am the Vice President of ADS."
A boy with copper blonde hair stood up. "I am Kim Junsu from Seoul. 5th year. I am the Secretary."
Taec Yeon stood up. "I am Ok Taec Yeon. you may call me Taec. I used to stay in Boston but now I live in Seoul. I'm in my 5th year and I serve as the Treasurer of the Aquinas Dance Squad."
"I am Lee Junho from Seoul. I'm in 4th year. Publicity and Information Exco of Aquinas Dance Squad. I handle all the information and publicize any updates regarding anything that involves Aquinas Dance Squad." Junho sat down. He had a smile that never seem to fade. Compared to other members, he was the most cheerful one.
A boy stood up. His hair was tied into a very tight bun. "I am Hwang Chang Sung from Seoul. 4th year. I am the Special Task Exco."
"Thank you, ADS Committee members. As you can see, there are not much committee members in ADS unlike other student societies, such as the Student Council. Our focus is dancing. We don't focus on student welfare or other activities. We have other societies for that. Other than dancing, we sometimes do a bit community service, such as painting the new dance studio in Seoul or perform for a fundraiser."
Nickhun stepped forward. "We have 15 new members this year. I would like to get to know ALL 15 today. Starting from......." He pointed at Aris. "You."
"I am Aris Ramli. 3rd year from Malaysia."
"I am Shin Dong. 3rd year, from here."
"I am Choi Minho. You guys can call me Minho. 3rd year."
"Ni hao. I am Han Kyung, from Beijing, China."
"I am Sofia Kim Hyun Ae. You may call me either Sofia or Hyun Ae. I was from KL, Malaysia and now, I call Seoul my new home."
Sofia sat down while everybody applauded. "Nice to meet you, Hyun Ae yah!" said Taec Yeon. He proceeded to wink at Sofia. Sofia blushed. Both Aris and Shin Dong exchanged disgusted looks. Han Kyung patted on Sofia's shoulder and whispered, "I think he likes you." Sofia rolled her eyes. Minho who was within earshot snorted. Sofia glared at him.
"Guys! Can you please be quiet?" scolded Nickhun.
"Ne, mianhae sunbae," apologized Minho.
A male student with jet black hair stood up. "Annyeong haseyo. I am Eli Kim. 4th year."
Another male student stood up. He had dark blonde hair and doe eyes. just like Junho, he had a smile on his face that never seem to fade. "I am Kevin. 3rd year."
"I am Alexander Lee Eusobio. Just call me Xander and don't call me Alex. 3rd year. I'm a Chinese-Portugese from Macau," a male student with dark brown wavy hair introduced himself.
"Ooh, a hybrid! I'm a Thai-Chinese,"said Nickhun. Xander smiled and sat down.
After everybody introduced themselves, Nickhun bowed his head. He took a step forward and looked at every members of ADS. "NOW, we will show you what Aquinas Dance Squad is all about. Comittees!"
All of the committee members stood up and formed a formation. Then they started to perform acrobatic breakdance move. No one said a word. They were too stunned to say anything. Then, an eighth dancer wearing a mask did a flip concluding the dance. Nickhun stepped up from his position. "Ah, our eighth committee member! External Affairs Exco......"
The dancer took off his mask.
"Lee Dong Hae!!!!"
Sofia, Aris, Han Kyung and Shin Dong could not believe their eyes.
"Thanks for the introduction. 4th year from Seoul." He saw Aris, Han Kyung, Minho, Shin Dong and Sofia. "Hi, guys!" He waved at them.
"Man, he's everywhere! He sits lunch with us and emcee during our orientation!" whispered Aris to Shin Dong.
"I wonder if he has any twin brothers," replied Shin Dong.
"Well, our dance squad is nothing without the support from our advisors, Mr Jung Ji Hoon and Miss Son Dam Bi.
Both Miss Son Dam Bi and Mr Jung Ji Hoon entered the Alpha Gymnasium.Miss Son Dam Bi was wearing her signature yellow tan top and black sparkly track pants with black split sole sneakers. Her long chestnut brown hair was tied into a ponytail. Mr Jung Ji Hoon was wearing a military camouflage cargo pants and dark green tank top. They began to dance aggressively to the music. It began with an upbeat hip-hop acrobatic dance followed by a Korean traditional dance and finished by a salsa/waltz dance. The students applauded. Both Mr Jung Ji Hoon and Miss Son Dam Bi bowed.
Nickhun stepped forward. "This is why they're our advisors. Give them another round of applause!"
The students cheered and applauded. Then, Nickhun spread his arms as a sign for the students to be silent.
"This year. We have a very special activity planned for you guys," said Nickhun.
"A very special activity indeed," added Jaebom.
Mr Jung Ji Hoon stepped forward. "This year, Aquinas Academy of Seoul will be the host for the Annual Aquinas Gathering."
Everybody cheered.
"What's that?" asked Sofia.
Taec Yeon approached her from a seat behind her. "Annual Aquinas Gathering is an event where Aquinians all over Korea come together and do activities together. There will be cultural shows, booths and stalls, screenings and competitions. The champion for the overall event will get to host the event twice in their campus."
Taec Yeon went on, "The selection is actually by rotation. Let's just say that Busan campus won this year. They get to host it again next year."
Sofia nodded.
"For that, we will host an Internal Dance Battle to pick the best 4 dance groups to compete at the Dance Battle during the Gathering itself," said Miss Son Dam Bi.
"So, we need you guys to get into groups of at least 2, max number is 6. You are free to choose any dance style you want but make sure that your dance style don't clash with other groups. For example, if one group choose ballet, the other groups can't choose ballet. Get it?"
The rest just nodded.
"Okay. We'll give you 10 minutes to get into groups and discuss." Nickhun lookes at hsi watch and said, "You time starts .....now!"
Everybody in the gym ran around to find their group members. Shin Dong and Aris grabbed Min Ho and Han Kyung. "Okay. We have 4," said Aris. "Now, let's find Sofia."
"Too late," said Han Kyung. He pointed to the direction where Sofia was standing. Aris, Shin Dong and Min Ho looked and gasped.
They saw a male student with spiky jet black hair approaching Sofia.
