Chapter 10: The Center
Six hours later, Ava was sitting among the other trainees in Class A who looked nervous and moved their hands or sang to prepare for their 1-minute show.
Sophie who was sitting next to Ava was also very nervous and continuously muttered what she had prepared. Sophie had already thought about what Ava had said earlier about being sweet and showing her own charm. Before going to bed he had already thought about it, having felt certain he finally slept quietly.
Ava herself did nothing, she just sat with an empty look as she still felt sleepy. She did not prepare anything like the other trainees because she did not intend to be the center, the more unexposed the better for her.
But it seems like the staff had no such intention, since the trainees gathered, the staff and cameramen used their cameras to look for good seeds to go for. So Ava who was calm-quiet among the trainees who were busy making her stand out. What's more about Ava's lazy and sleepy appearance, what a different scene.
The other trainees who will be the determinants talk to each other about who will be the center this time. Because in a survival program like this, being a center that will be highlighted by many cameras is very important for the participants so they are looking forward to it.
The originally crowded atmosphere had now become quiet when Keegan came to enter the room with her handsome face. He looked serious but not as cold as usual, probably because he had started to feel close to the trainee participants so he would not be as cold as usual.
“Halo!” greet the trainees while standing from their respective places
“Halo everyone, are you guys okay ?” ask Keegan
“ya!”
“Good then, because soon you have to show the theme song song. And the most important of the appearance this time, namely CENTER.” Keegan paused for a moment and read the cards in his hand before starting to talk again. “Before, it has been told that there will be a selection process for the appearance of the theme song.” song
The expressions of the trainees became even more tense than before especially those who were in Class A. They seem more nervous.
“Participants from class A will take turns displaying the one minute appearance that has been prepared by them. Meanwhile, classes B, C, D, and F will slice the evaluation form for the participants who perform.” The other trainees nodded and thought silently about who they would choose. “Now, we begin the process of selecting the center position. Denise Field trainee participants please come forward.”
Denise, who is an agency with Vivian, came forward with confidence. He carried the mic and went up on stage with a big smile. “Halo, everyone. Introduce me Denise Field from Big Galaxy Ent!”
The other trainees gave a standing ovation to encourage the trainees who would advance for the first time.
Denise took the previous starting position while waiting for the music to play. Once the music is turned on, Denise immediately danced choreographed dances with more energy and added details that are strong hip-hop style.
The other trainees were surprised to see Denise's powerful choreography move. Each movement is more detailed and smoother than the other trainees.
“This is class A.” level
“He makes moving his choreography look easy right?”
All the trainees except those who will be selected all focus on staring with awe and assessing whether Denise can be the center for this theme song.
When the song stops, Denise gives a wink with a teasing smile. Everyone applauded loudly with Denise bowing in gratitude before stepping off the stage.
After that, one by one the other participants were called and showed his one-minute appearance in a different style than Denise and some had a similar style. Then there were three people left at the end and Sophie was asked to go first.
Sophie stood up with a smile looking at Ava for a while then went onto the stage. He put on a very wide smile and cheerfully greeted everyone, “Halo everyone! I'm Sophie Berger from MNO Ent. Please help!” Sophie bowed deeply before she took the first pose for the theme song.
As the song played, Sophie began to raise her head and smile cheerfully and move her body in a precise and clean choreographed spirit. Sophie sings in a bright voice and gives a different spirit than the other trainees. Especially his spirit effect, far surpassing other trainees.
The trainees again become fascinated with Sophie who looks very light in dancing and makes people who see her excited. Trainees inevitably get excited about this.
When the song ended, Sophie stopped and smiled satisfied with what she was doing. His face showed no more expression than to encourage the beholder.
Sophie returned to her seat with the other trainees clapping before Keegan announced the name of the next trainee to come forward. “Next, trainee participant Vivian Evans, please to go forward.”
Vivian who had been waiting ever since advanced with great anticipation. He smiled broadly as he greeted everyone on the spot. “Introduce my name Vivian Evans from Big Galaxy Ent.” Just like Sophie she immediately took an early position in the choreography.
After that, when the music was playing, Vivian danced with the expressiveness, her every move seemed to match her choreography. Unlike in the previous evaluation, she is now dancing with a cute and sweet image.
The appearance effect is almost similar to Sophie, but it looks more cute and makes those who watch it smile. Her aura was indeed different from Sophie but she did present this song in a good style.
When he finished, he gave a sweet look and heart mark with his hand. The audience of course also applauded seeing her sweet and cheering for her. Vivian immediately got down and returned to her seat with a satisfied face.
The last person to appear was Ava. Either it looks like the staff deliberately put him at the end. Ava who was about to advance onto the stage happened to pass Keegan who was sitting on the side of the stage.
“Do it right.” Keegan said in a voice that wasn't too loud but Ava could hear it. Ava glanced at him small and found Keegan staring at him rather narrowly.
Ava who was initially not nervous suddenly became uncomfortable seeing Keegan staring at her like that. He felt somewhat reprimanded by her, but Ava tried to let him off and stood on stage with the mic in her hand.
“Include my name, Ava Luna.” Ava doesn't own a company, so her introduction was very short. Moreover, his introduction also did not have as many expressions as the other trainees.
So this left a lot of impression on the trainees who saw it. Some trainees who knew her secretly felt very excited to see Ava on stage and pray for her success.
Ava took an early position while thinking, she didn't plan to be the center, so dead we subtracted a bit of her ability from the evaluation video.
As the music lit up, Ava raised her head with a small smile whose effect was less than before. He moved his body lightly and did not use much energy except in the required parts such as the dance break section.
As a result, moving Ava is not as effective and as good as when in the evaluation video, but still has an effect that is more or less the same as Sophie and Vivian. But because Ava reduced her strength, she looked lighter when dancing when people saw her.
As soon as he finished, he paused for the final pose of a few seconds with a light smile and a slower blink of an eye. Only then did he bow and quickly get off the stage.
Upon returning to his seat, he let out a long sigh, feeling relieved that it was over.
Keegan on the other hand glanced at her small and turned to speak to the staff who had started collecting evaluation form boards. Keegan stands to wait with the staff in charge of narrowing down the center candidates.
About 10 minutes later, Keegan received the results from the staff while furrowing her brows in confusion. “You are sure of this result ?” ask Keegan to the staff on duty.
The staff nodded loudly and showed the recorded results. Keegan nodded her head then returned to the stage.
On the other hand, on a crowded stage with trainees waiting while talking to each other. Sophie also talks to Ava but she talks more than Ava herself.
When Keegan walked in, they were silent. Keegan got on stage quietly then looked at the trainees before she started talking. “Finally the evaluation process to the end, we will announce who the center of our theme song appearance is. Of the total 9 participants in class A, there are three people who contest the vote at the end.” Keegan looked at the paper in her hand with a small smile. “Please step forward, trainee participants Sophia Berger, Vivian Evans, and Ava Luna.”
Sophie was surprised and happy to hear that she was chosen as the center, she was also very happy, Ava was also selected. So Sophie shook Sophie's hand and pulled her very excitedly up the stage.
Ava froze for a while, she did not expect she would still be elected to the candidate. He put on a shocked face but there was no face of excitement as if he was really just shocked.
Vivian on the other hand was very happy, she turned around and looked at her friend who was also just as excited as her. Vivian took the stage first with more spirit than ever. He looks very confident to win this election. He stood up with a different wide smile from Ava who was somewhat surprised by the result.
The three of them stood on the stage with a high sense of anticipation. Maybe it's just the two, because Ava just hopes she won't be the center.
Keegan looked at the list again and smiled mysteriously. “From these three candidates have votes that only differ very slightly.” Keegan looked at the three before returning to speak. “From the results of the selection conducted by other trainee participants, who became the center for the theme song song is....”.
Everyone took a breath, feeling nervous listening to the results. They felt that maybe the three candidates did have all the criteria for a theme song song. So they can't guess who gets elected.
Keegan glanced over while holding the result in her mouth for a while. “Congratulations to.... Vivian Evans!”
Everyone's shocked look clearly looked amazed. Vivians clearly looked so happy that she shut her mouth in disbelief. Sophie and Ava both clapped and smiled happily, both of them also congratulating Vivians.
The other trainees also applauded and congratulated from afar. Although they cannot be the center themselves, they are quite happy to be able to support the people they like.
On the other hand, Keegan smiled and was happy with the result, but in her heart she felt a bit strange. Even so he did not want to destroy the happiness that exists now. So he stayed quiet.
Happiness continued until dinner, Keegan bought pizza for the girls as a reward for their hard work. The cafeteria was filled with trainees who became infatuated with the smell of pizza from a distance.
“You guys have been working hard for these three days, so I bought this pizza for a reward for your hard work all along. After this there may still be something to do, but for tonight, just enjoy your dinner well and practice more tomorrow.” Keegan gives a little advice and advises trainees to eat without worry today.
“Thank you PD!” Shouted the trainee participants along with a sense of pleasure.
“Then please start eating.” Keegan said.
The trainees glanced at each other and timidly picked up the pizza at the table to start eating. Sophie on the other hand was not so shy, she picked up and started biting with a happy face. Ava next to him ate quietly next to him and ate slowly.
The table where Ava and Sophie are sitting is also Crystal, and Melody. They ate with a very happy feeling and it felt like their fatigue disappeared with a good meal.
“Delicious food is indeed the best to end fatigue.” Sophie said while tasting her fingers that were exposed to the sauce from the pizza.
“I agree, pizza at the end of a tiring day is the best.” added Cyrstal who started picking up the next slice of pizza.
“A long time ago I didn't eat pizza!” Melody's reaction was equally satisfied with the existing pizza. “I have to diet on a normal day, there is no chance to eat pizza.”
“PD Keegan is really a good person!” praise Sophie with all your heart.
Ava notices her friends are very happy with pizza. He glanced at Keegan who was sitting on a separate bench with a soda can in her hand. Unexpectedly, Keegan was also glancing over to where she was, so they stared at each other for a few seconds before Ava turned her gaze away and had no intention of seeing Keegan again.
Ava feels that it is likely that Keegan feels something odd with her. But he shouldn't have known Ava's true abilities. In essence, he intended to reduce his sense of truth so that there would be no problem for him later.
While eating, suddenly a staff who often gave announcements came and gave Keegan a paper announcement to be announced to the trainees.
Keegan read the contents of the announcement before standing up, “Please pay attention a little while you eat, tomorrow there will be a shirt fitting for the appearance of the theme song held in 3 days. Please continue to practice choreography. A clean gladi for the appearance of the theme song will be held the day before filming time. So that's your schedule for a while.”
Sophie who was eating suddenly stopped, she stared at the pizza in her hand with guilt. “I shouldn't have eaten.” whispered Sophie rather regretfully.
“Some pizzas won't make you gain weight.” said Ava comforting a sorry Sophie.
“Is it ?” Sophie's dim eyes shone again.
“Eat quietly, after this do a few short walks, do not lie down directly.” Ava tells him not to lie down immediately, because usually Sophie will lie down immediately when she reaches the dorm. “Let's take a few short turns in the front garden.”
Sophie nodded as she continued to eat the pizza in her hands, Crystal and Melody before them were unwilling to follow the two people who were already planning a leisurely walk after eating this time.

The next morning, all the trainee participants finally had enough sleep to wake up with happy smiles. Although yesterday they had a difficult time, but when they get enough rest, they are very happy with it.
The morning routine was still going as usual, and the trainees still had to go to their respective classes to continue to choreograph again. But in the middle of training, trainees in each class will be invited to do fitting clothes in advance for the costume show in two days.
Class A was the first to do clothing fittings. Because of the number of people, so the staff provides enough people to do clothing fittings along with makeup artists and hairdressers.
Vivian as a center is of course more attention than the other students. While the trainee participants went to try the clothes given by the staff after seeing the trainees' appearance first.
Ava and Sophie stood a bit behind so they were both a little later. When they reached the front of the staff on duty, they stood waiting while the staff looked at them and guessed the size for both.
The standing staff turned around and picked up some school set clothes and handed them to Sophie first. “Please try this first, if there is not enough immediately notify the staff” The staff is back looking at Ava with a hard thinking face.
“Must I try the usual style or sporty style?” he murmured confusedly. The staff thought for a long time before calling the other staff and asking for an opinion. “What do you think, should we give sporty style or how ?”
The female staff who had just been summoned also seemed to be thinking out loud. He looked at Ava from top to bottom while shaking his head several times. “Looks like she's better with elegant style. Just make it with normal set, just improve with make up and hairdo.”
The staff who first looked at Ava nodded in agreement. “Truely, it seems better that way, I think it's better for him.” Then he prepared the clothes in question from the hanger and gave them to Ava. “Just wear it like you use school clothes in general. Later I will help you to tidy it up.”
Ava received the hanged shirt and went to the dressing room. He hung the clothes on the hanger as soon as he entered and stared at the clothes he received before unpacking one by one the items present. Ava began to change her clothes and wore a plain white shirt typical of schoolchildren and a short skirt that expands gray. Outside there is a tight vest in maroon red and brown tie with plaid motifs. Then last covered with a gray suit that shows a red vest from the outside, there is the symbol of Unlimited Youth Girls in the left suit in a striking embroidery.
Ava tidied up the clothes to make it neater before going out to bring her training clothes. When he came out the situation was still a bit crowded and no one really noticed him. Ava quietly stood by the side waiting for her turn.
But suddenly a female staffer who was taking notes for each participant what needed to be worn beforehand, accidentally saw Ava who was standing at the side quietly. Inevitably he was flabbergasted and patted the shoulder of a friend next to him who was arranging the clothes of a participant.
Sophie who was also done with her fitting clothes quickly found Ava who was on the side. He looked flabbergasted and approached Ava with a surprised face.
“Ava! Holy hooch! You look so beautiful in this school uniform!” Sophie turned around Ava and looked carefully. “Even prettier than our previous school uniform.”
Ava looks at the uniform Sophie is wearing. “Your body makes you look very sweet.” Sophie was wearing the same clothes as Ava, but the atmosphere made her look very cute.
Sophie moved her body and showed off her clothes. “I also agree, this shirt is very sweet, I feel like I am attending an expensive school.”
Ava smiled slightly and looking at her own uniform, she also felt the same feeling. “Indeed look very luxurious.”
“It looks like you should go to one of the staff immediately, they need to note about make up and hairstyle later.” Sophie looked around with some worry. Ava also inevitably came to see and visit one of the staff who was writing on the board.
“Excuse me, I'm done fitting.” Ava said softly to the busy-looking female staff.
The female staff who was writing raised her head and looked at Ava with her eyes. She was speechless and looked at Ava with her mouth open and face stunned.
“You...” Female staff stammering at Ava who looks like a very beautiful schoolboy. “You are very beautiful.”
Ava became silent for a while, “Thank you.” Ava smiled stiffly, “Do I have to report about shirt fittings?”
The female staff nodded loudly and immediately became aware of her duties. “Ah! That's right, come with me.” The female staff took Ava to another staff who were standing in front of the dressing table and were taking notes on other things. “Excuse me, this is another participant to check.”
This time the staff on duty was a more aesthetic woman, she had light-colored hair. This staff turned around and looking at Ava in question, he immediately approached Ava and touched Ava's face rather meticulously.
“This girl does not need much make up, her facial features are already quite good, just accentuate a little will be better.” This staff turned around and took his slate. “What's your name ?”
“Ava Luna.”
The staff searched Ava's name and started to note something on it. “By the way, you are so beautiful. I guess, your hair just needs to be in a little wave, it will make you look more elegant. You don't have to go to the hairdresser, I'll tell him.”
Ava gave a small nod and then glanced at the staff who was escorting her first. “Do I have to change clothes now ?”
The female staff standing next to her glanced at Ava with some hesitation, she scanned Ava again and found Ava had not yet used any shoes. “You haven't used shoes yet, let's grab the shoes for you first.”
The staff took Ava to a section that had shoes and socks. Ava said the size and was immediately given something of her request. As soon as Ava used more complete equipment, Ava became the center of attention of everyone in the room.
Ava looked very prominent, a very elegant impression came out of her. He looks like a very popular school student in school, so many people like him.
But on the other hand, there are people who are not so happy with Ava's prominence in the room. Vivian, who has received everyone's attention because she will be the center, is busy adjusting and consulting staff to make her look better on stage.
As soon as Ava appeared, it seemed like attention was starting to drift away from her, Vivian started to get irritated with the feeling of being ignored and the feelings of others being better than her. It turned out not to be that easy it really became the most prominent. Although he has established himself as a center but it seems there is a possibility that his other attention will be stolen.
I don't know why Vivian felt so annoyed by this fact. It seemed like he needed to do something else in order for him to stand out more and make sure the girl named Ava was not too attentive and influential.
