University of St. Thomas (UST) is Ada's new school. College life is the most interesting stage in her life. Looking forward on moving up to the next level of her life she cant wait for it to start. So here it goes...
Being sweet sixteen they say is the youthfulness of all ages. A teenage girl turning into a lady in this brand new world. She was mesmerized by the ambiance and scenes at every corner of the school. The different types of students, their classes, status and fashion. It is a mixed feeling of emotions that greeted her while entering the university. Most of the students here are rich and because its this school's reputation. Some of them enter the school in wheels, plenty of handsome and pretty students around. She felt a bit awkward with them, she thinks it wasn't her agenda. She don't want to get associated with them. Ada and Mary part ways on the lobby area because they have different courses and different buildings. They are parted on by end to end buildings. Ada while entering her class make her usual self. She felt a bit nervous yet like everybody in that room they are all first timers. She soon got her own aquintances, some of her classmates were in the same situation as her, but some are rich fella and they looked so overly confident. New faces from different high schools. Some came all the way from the big cities to study there. Anyway, they were having tough time searching for their classrooms at first because it was a huge school. Their first week of school wasn't the formal class it was all just briefings and introductions. The week soon comes to end. It was easy and relax time for everyone. The struggles of college life is on the way on the following days.
Her parents were giving her advises now that she had entered college. They reminded her of her priorities in life. And still don't get into any relationships until she finishes her study in college. She made a promised to them to do all and follow their advises. But her parents too didn't expect that it would be a heavy cost to let her study in the university. The daily need she has to have in order to go to school. They are not financially ready for it. Her university is an hour bus trip from her home. Everyday she would travel back and forth. The cost of transport and her allowance for meal and other school needs was tough to budget. And most of all the high tuition fees. She survived the first semester of her first year until her parents told her that she cant continue going to college because of their financial status. It saddened her and she felt really unlucky to be in a poor family. She was determined to finished her college so she asked her parents for this 2nd semester to get enrolled. She said she will apply for a scholarship in her university and work hard to finished her course in college. She is very persistent to continue no matter what it takes. She asked her bestfriend for a little help she can give. Mary's parents supported her dreams and lend her a little amount to pay her tuition and her parents made a loan from friends for this semesters tuition fee. She promised to herself that she will not let down her parents and her future. She decided aggressively and determined to focus on finishing her studies on that university no matter how hard it could be.
After her application for university scholarship she chooses to be a school representative in the Theater arts. Three of them from her class applied they had been her friends too. They were the closes acquintances and became her buddies. The organization was called STAGE. The category for the scholarship is from 25%-50%-75%-100% depending on the role of each member and their contribution of services to the organization to represent the name of the university both in local and nationwide. Getting in is quiet difficult because she don't have any experience being on stage and performing arts except for the pageant shows she joined in the passed. They were asked to act, there is an initiation like of that fraternity its also the same like a brotherhood and sisterhood. The foundation of it is trusting each other. Being one family and helping one another. She thought they would never passed but they were chosen to be apprentice for the nxt 3 months. They are not yet eligible for the scholarship discount in this semester. It will take effect on the next enrollment. But atleast she got in. So she feel lucky and blessed. Everyone is kind and supportive towards the new members. They were interviewed and made a short briefings of their roles as a theatre artist. Their upcoming school events and their roles were given in advance. Its like giving them assignment. They had to do researches and gathering informations. Buying props or making them. Making tickets for the shows and marketing too. Selling outside or doing solicitation letters for their production. The school gives them allowances for every shows they will do. There are also outside of school shows where they are being rent for a show in a certain event and they are getting paid or sponsorship for the big shows. It was a fun and adventure type of life. She love being a part of it. She had learned a lot of new things too and meet all kinds of people from the circle and outside of the circle. She also gains her confidence more and their group is famous too. Everyday there is a rehearsals and more practice everytime they have an event or a shows. She learned a lot on music, acting, lights effect and stage management. Her forte was on make-up artist because she was good at drawing so its also easy for her to do it. She is the backstage gamer everytime there is a show. she did everyones make-up before they appear on stage. She also acts on stage but mostly not the main character. She prefer being on the backstage as a support.
The time flies so fast 2 years passed and she is now on her 3rd year of college when she finally gets the 100% scholarship grant. She also became an officer of their organization. She was appointed as vice-president, the members decided to give her the chair for VP for her constant loyalty and big support to the organization. Yearly, as usual they will gather new members for apprenticeship and trained them. As a VP she is in-charge of the membership and their scoring. They trust her judgement and she is very dedicated and focus on the things she is assigned to do. Balancing between studies and her organization she managed to do it smoothly. This year they have a big event that will showcase the three group in performing arts namely the STAGE, Dance troupe and Chorale. They are the two other organization that offers scholarship like with the STAGE which is her group. They all have their own organization offices in the University hall. There were 4 corner rooms which serves as their offices the other one is the office of their director. The Director of Arts managed the 3 organization it is the main management office. Its the one that decides their calendar of activity. The upcoming event is the collaboration of the three group. It is a big show for this year. They were all quiet busy preparing for this big event and at the same time the midterm examination is coming too. Study, classes and afterward rehearsals for the show. It was an everyday struggle and tiring for everyone. But they all do their designated duties without compromising their studies. It maybe each unique skills. The balance life of being a scholar. As they are all busy with practices and run-throughs each members of the groups got to get closed and make friends with each other. They develop a close friendship and allies. It was a great opportunity to get them work together in one show. Its a musical theatre show with the dance acts too. The show was entitled RANGA where its production is featuring the three groups of arts. The actors, singers and dancers play it professionally and deliver the shows full of entertainment.
Every after show there will be a food shared for everyone. Its like a price for hardwork and caring for all the artist. Its a token of appreciation. The show runs for 1 month. It was tiring and exhausting but all are doing their best to deliver the good show for the viewers. The audiences are the students of the school and from other invited schools and some outsiders. The full house can accommodate up to 300 people. The hall can only hold up to 400 maximum of audiences. But 30% of the space inside the hall is the stage itself. Needs backstage and a place for artists before the show starts. Upon running the shows for the whole month Ada met Romy who is a member of chorale he is a transferee student from the big city he is handsome 6'2" tall with Spanish blood. He has a looked of that like a foreigner. They became friends and Romy started to be always following her and compossing songs for her. He is very good at all kinds of instrument specially the piano. Sometimes he would just suddenly pop up on her face and scare her. One day he showed her a carving of their name together inside a heart shape carved on the bark of a mango tree. That was so sweet of him. His gestures where implying her that he likes her more than friends and after a month even when their show finished running he will still see her anytime they are free. Most of the the time in their office. He would befriend everyone and he always sticks around. After 2 month they got this mutual understanding but not as a relationship between bf or gf its just mutual. They treat each other special, but he is a gentleman. He would asked if he could kiss her. And she let him too. Their relationship is not that deep because she was not ready to go on that level and she told him about her stands with being in a relationship. Although she had turned 18 she still managed to not get too deeply involved with men. She is conservative on her own way, although she is sweet with everyone either boys or girls she still has her limits to keep. After another month of trying Romy gave up on her. He soon finds someone new with her collegues. She thinks he is a possessive kind of guy and he has a temperament. And that character she don't like to be bothered by. So she let him go.
The relationship between the artists groups grow much closer as they had many following collab shows inside and outside of their school. They got to travel together in one bus and many had became friends with others some had find their pair. One day they had this show outside and she happens to be seated next to this familiar face from the chorale group a guy that looks like a Chinese mestizo. He introduce himself first his name is Sid. They got this time chatting and getting to know each other and sharing ideas with each other. She found out that he is a year senior than her and that he is already graduating this year. He came from a poor family and he is the youngest child among his other 11 siblings. His father died in serviced a military man while he was still young. He has this smiling face always that makes him more attractive and funny. And he loves to sing. He even sings to her and he has a very good voice. No wonder he is in chorale group Ada thought. That's where their friendship starts.. so many more things happen after that meeting with Sid..
