After the class is over, Hariz makes his way to the school's great hall. On the middle of his way, he's blocked by Emily Torres.

"Hi, Hariz", greeted Torres.

"What the hell do you want?" asked Hariz.

"That's not the way to greet an old friend, is it", said Torres.

"Don't use that word 'friend' with me. I'm going to puke, you know", said Hariz.

"You still mad at me?" asked Torres.

"You know what, if you have nothing else important to say I'm leaving", said Hariz.

"Hey, wait. I have something to tell you", said Torres.

"Fine. Make it fast", said Hariz.

"Well, I would like to invite you to my birthday party this Saturday", said Torres.

"And why shall I go", asked Hariz.

"We're used to be friend, right. Besides, my parent miss you", said Torres.

"Oh", replied Hariz.

"You'll be there, right" asked Torres with hope.

"No promise", said Hariz.

"Ok, fair enough. See you later, then", said Torres.

"Yeah", said Hariz before left.

Then, Hariz quickly make his way into the hall. There, he saw about 10 students already there with a beautiful blonde hair sophomore girl standing at the front.

"Hariz Eagles. You're 1 minutes late", said the girl, Maria Sharapova.

"Sorry, Maria. Toilet emergency", said Hariz.

"Pee faster next time or I'll report it to Principal Maddox. Now take a seat", said Maria.

"Since everybody's here, let's start. First let's welcome our latest committee member, Hariz Eagles. He's the only freshman in our team", continued Maria.

"Hi, everyone' said Hariz.

"Now, then, Hariz. Tell us what do you looking forward for homecoming", said Maria.

"Well, a party I guess", said Hariz.

"I see. But you should know. Homecoming is not only about party. It is about showing your school spirit", said Maria.

"This school have spirit? Should we call a Ghostbuster then?" asked a girl at the back.

"Haha. Very funny, Rhea. By the way, we need to choose a theme for the ball. Any suggestion?" asked Maria.

"Punk rocker from hell sounds good", said Hariz.

"Heh, I agree with you, freshman", said Rhea before bumping fist with Hariz.

"No way. For your information, homecoming dance is a dance ball with either jazz or slow romantic dance", said Maria.

"What about Royal Night?" asked a brunette long hair girl.

"Explain it, Maya", said Maria.

"You know, we can have some knight statues and red carpet. The homecoming king and queen can seat on a throne after being announce", said Maya.

"Hmm, interesting. Any other thoughts?" asked Maria.

"Well, that doesn't sound bad, right Eagles-boy", said Rhea.

"If we can add Vikings and dragons, I'll totally agree with you, mademoiselle Rhea", said Hariz. They laughed.

"Okay, then. We had decided the theme. Now let's start painting some banners. Let's do it in pair. Hariz, you're with me", said Maria.

"Why do you get him?" asked Rhea disappointedly.

"Because who knows what will you two do if paired up together", said Maria.

"Huh, you're no fun, Maria", said Rhea before left and teamed up with Maya.

"You're okay with this, right", asked Maria.

"Yeah, sure", said Hariz. Then, Hariz and Maria put some masking tape to the floor so that the paint will not make the floor dirty.

1 hour later,

"Hey, Maria. We are wondering is there any snack this afternoon?" asked a 3rd year girl, Cassie Chan.

"Oh, shoot. I forgot", said Maria.

"Never mind then", said a 2nd year boy, Carlos then.

"No way am I expecting you to work with empty stomach. Hariz, can you please come with me to buy some snacks for our team. You can have anything you want later", said Maria with full hope.

"Sure", replied Hariz.

"Thanks. Let's go. I'll drive. To my car", said Maria.

Later Hariz and Maria arrived at a café in the middle of the town. As they enter the café, they were welcomed by a crew.

"Welcome to Ventara's Café. How may I serve you?" asked the waiter.

"We want 11 sets of beef burger set and 11 sundaes. Anything else do you want, Hariz?" asked Maria.

"I want a regular sized of cheesy wedges", said Hariz.

"Okay. That's all?" asked the waiter.

"Yes. All take away, please under name Maria Sharapova", said Maria.

"Okay. Your order will be ready in 15 minutes", said the waiter before left.

"So, Hariz. Anyone in your mind to bring for the dance?" asked Maria.

"Well, to be honest. I don't even know either I'm going or not", said Hariz. Maria looks surprised.

"Why not? Your girlfriend might be frustrated if you not going with her", said Maria.

"Since when I have a girlfriend. Besides I'll be surprise if any girl want even talk to me for no legit reason", said Hariz. Maria smiled.

"No wonder Tori always values you. You're humble", said Maria.

"After what happen today, you know she's overestimates me", said Hariz. Maria laughed.

"I don't see that way. You just protect yourself. After all, not being a bully despite having such ability and strength is a proof of your humbleness", said Maria.

"Really. I never see it that way", said Hariz.

"See. You might not see it but other people will", said Maria.

"Thanks, Maria. Never thought talking with someone that are not my sisters can make me feel better", said Hariz. Maria smiled.

"Oh, you're welcome", said Maria.

"By the way, with whom are you going for the ball?" asked Hariz.

"Well, it seems I'm going alone again this year", said Maria. This time, Hariz the one surprised.

"What? How come someone that as beautiful as you have no date?" asked Hariz. Maria blushed a bit.

"As you can see. I'm quite bossy and harsh. Most boys want a sweet soft girl. Since my time as sophomore at middle school, the longest relationship was only last 3 months while at high school, I never date anyone", said Maria.

"Really. I thought being bossy is ladies nature. I don't think there's anything that can change that", said Hariz.

"Huh, you talk by experience aren't you?" said Maria. Hariz laughed.

"Kind of. My mother, my sisters, my aunties, and my cousins always bossy. So, it doesn't really matter for me", said Hariz.

"But you know what, I don't think I need a relationship right now. I want to be focus in what I can do in my time at high school", said Maria.

"I see. So, it quite impossible for anyone to date you before your high school graduation, right", said Hariz. Maria just nodded. Later, the waiter came with their order. After paying for the food, Hariz and Maria return to school. The whole team are really grateful to Hariz and Maria for the food.

"Hey, Hariz. Let me have a taste of your cheesy wedges", said Rhea.

"But it the last piece", said Hariz.

"Who cares? C'mon, give it to me", said Rhea.

"Okay, then", said Hariz before give it to Rhea. When Rhea is about to reach it, Hariz quickly pull his hand and eat it.

"Eagles. HOW DARE YOU", said Rhea before trying to catch Hariz. Hariz quickly avoid and run away. Rhea then quickly chases him. They've been chases-and-run for about 10 rounds of the hall before return to the gathering side and breath heavily. The other committee members laughed.

"Well, what a team members we have right now", said Carlos.

"Yeah, these 2 will make our job here more fun. Right, Maria?" asked Cassie.

"As long as they didn't cause trouble. These 2 together might give me a headache", said Maria.

"Well, at least we know that these 2 can work together with us", said a 3rd year boy Jason. Everybody agreed.

After finished their meals, the team continue to work for a while before wrap it up.

"So, same time tomorrow", said Maria.

"Bye, Maria", said Cassie before leaving. When Hariz about to leave Rhea holds him.

"Hey Hariz. Wait up. There's something I want to talk to you about", said Rhea.

"What is it?" asked Hariz.

"It's about us, Sniper", said Rhea.

"How in the blue hell that you know my nickname?" asked Hariz.

"I know you but you don't know me. I'm a FFC U-17 E-class girls champion for Strelsau", said Rhea.

"What? Sorry I don't recognized you", said Hariz.

"Never mind. That's just shown how insensitive you are", said Rhea. Hariz sighed.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" asked Hariz.

"Actually, there are total 10 MMA fighters in this school with 4 person fight in FFC; us and your best friends Yusuke Godai and Jin Hakariya while another 6 person fight in Gladiator Fighting Union (GFU)", said Rhea.

"So, we are more than enough to create a MMA Club here in Ryuuga High. Is that what you want to tell me", said Hariz. Rhea smiled.

"What a smart boy you are. No wonder Tori always said that she always proud of you", said Rhea.

"So, what's your plan?" asked Hariz.

"Are you free tonight", asked Rhea.

"Yes, why", asked Hariz in return.

"Great. Let's bring all 10 fighters together 2100hrs tonight at Golden Griddle. Think you can bring along both Godai and Hakariya?" asked Rhea.

"I'll try my best", said Hariz.

"Fair enough. See you tonight then", said Rhea.

"Okay. Bye then", said Hariz before left.

Later when Hariz arrived home, he's about to walk straight to his room before he heard Tori calls him from her room.

"What's up, sis?" asked Hariz.

"Come here, lil bro. I want to talk with you", said Tori.

"About what happen today?" asked Hariz.

"Yes, if you don't mind", said Tori.

"Sure, why not", said Hariz before take a seat besides his sister.

"Now, tell me what you're going to do with the invitation", said Tori. Hariz looked at his sister shockingly.

"You know about the invitation? How?" asked Hariz.

"I was there and neither you nor that Torres girl realised it", said Tori.

"I thought you want to talk about me kicking those 3 arsehole", said Hariz.

"There's no need for that. They deserve it anyway", said Tori. Hariz laughed.

"So, what you're going to do?" asked Tori again.

"Well, I don't know. I don't really want to go but it's quite rude to just ignore the invitation", said Hariz.

"I see. Then, just do what you see fit", said Tori.

"Okay. Thanks, sis", said Hariz.

"So, how is it like working with the homecoming committee?" asked Tori.

"Well, it's kind of fun actually", said Hariz before telling everything that took place.

"Heh, so you and Rhea are planning to create a MMA club with your friend at our school", said Tori.

"Yeah, we're going to discuss about it more tonight", said Hariz.

"Okay, then. Just hope for the best but prepare for the worst", said Tori.

"Yeah, thanks sis", said Hariz. He then gives a quick hug to his sister before left.
