Chapter 94 - Life Is Beautiful

"...Cute."

"I forgot how nice and refreshing Freshman girls were. After all, the senior girls in our club sure are uncute and scary!"

The two men that were in the drama and acting club alongside Theo, stared at Prisana and Alex like they were two fresh kittens. Surprisingly, Alex was acting like a demure and cute girl for the first time Prisana has met her. In Prisana's mind, that was most likely because Alex was indeed crushing on Theo's friend she spotted half naked earlier.

Women who were cruhsing on someone, were quite fearsome as they could change from one person to the next.

Alex kept looking at the man named Elliot which paid her just as much attention, "Senior guys are so mature, unlike immature and stupid freshman boys. Isn't that right Prisana?"

"I guess?" she said, not particularly interested in boys her age since she already had a loving husband and beast.

And besides, men her age among the elites were all mature far past their prime. To Prisana, she didn't see much of a difference. She did however, keep feeling a penetrating stare directed toward her.

The other man Theo introduced as Noah was the one to stare intently at Prisana, with awestruck eyes. It made her a bit uncomfortable. As if sensing this, Theo came during the right time with the so called boba drinks and karate chopped Noah on the head.

"Hey, stop making her feel uncomfortable. Even if she's pretty, you shouldn't openly stare at someone to the point of being creepy Noah...See? This is why you can't get a girl to date you."

Noah rubbed his head and looked at Prisana with apologetic eyes. "Sorry Prisana, us senior boys aren't always surrounded by cute freshman girls. And Theo! How could you hide the fact that you're acquainted with them? Don't tell me, you wanted to keep them all to yourself!"

This earned another karate chop, harsher this time since Prisana heard and saw the harsh impact nearly send Noah's face down onto the table in front of them.

"Idiot. Alex is nowhere near cute," this earned a death stare from Alex as Theo passed everyone their drinks.

Surprisingly, Alex didn't whack Theo on his shoulder and continued batting her eyelashes at Elliot.

"I think Alex is very, very cute," Elliot grinned as he focused all his attention on Alex.

She sighed and did this weird thing as she twirled a strand of hair with her finger. "Oh stop. Hah, I mean, you're not so bad looking yourself Elliot."

Theo gestured to Prisana. "And Prisana...She's a married woman. I met them during orientation when I led their group. I'm simply being courteous and exposing them to more resources, namely us if they want to pursue anything in the entertainments seriously. So don't get the wrong idea."

"No way..." Noah nearly ripped his hair out. "It was love at first sight too. Why must my life always result to such hardships?"

Theo shook his head and sighed, then chuckled as he watched Prisana flustered and become unsure of how to deal with the situation.

"Relax. Noah's always like that."

"...Is that right?"

"He falls in and out of love too easily. That's his greatest flaw."

"Your greatest flaw is that you've never fallen in love!" Noah shouted, clearly still hurt from hearing that Prisana already had another. "You see Prisana, even though Theo's had girlfriends, he always chose his career first. That's not love if you ask me. If it was love, it should be beautiful and you'd abandon everything just to be with that person."

Prisana thought about it. It was true. If she had to abandon everything and lose all in the end just to be with her one and only beast of a husband, then she would. But Theo seemed like the faithful and caring, compassionate type of boyfriend so it didn't make sense why he dated them if he didn't love them.

"Says the man who hasn't even had their first girlfriend," Theo interjected.

Noah fake cried, lowering his voice sadly. "...Don't remind me that I may die without ever experiencing the joys of having a cute and youthful girlfriend. Curse you and Elliot! You're like some charismatic and outgoing guy all the girls can't help but be attracted to while Elliot has the looks of an actor and the body of an athlete. And I'm just the...D.U.F.F!"

"D.U.F.F?" Prisana asked, wrinkling her nose in confusion.

She didn't understand the latest trends the normal youth ought to acquaint themselves with.

"Dumb ugly fat friend," Alex explained. "It's bascially like if you go to a party and Noah would be the guy to make his other two friends say Theo and Elliot look like the hottest guys in their group of friends while Noah would end up being some extra cast member."

Prisana took the time to really look at Noah. He wasn't the most handsome man in the world but he wasn't by far, hideous either. Looks were subjective. It wasn't as if her beast were the most eye catching but it was his sweet yet sour heart that pulled her in. Their love was built on lies that never mattered on looks but turned beautiful to truths that led to unconditional vows.

She shook her head and smiled at Noah. "Don't say that. One day, there will definitely come a girl who loves you as you are. Elliot and Theo have their good traits. I'm sure you have your good traits too...Maybe if you start off a little less aggresisve then girls would have an easier time opening up to you and see just what kind of person you really are. Everyone deserves to be in love. It's a beautiful thing which I agree on you with. Chin up, I'm truly rooting for you Noah!"

Theo was the one to chuckle and then he leaned in with his palms and just gazed at her in wonder. "Prisana, I think you're only making him fall for you more."

"W-Who is this husband of yours? I have to see him for myself..."

Prisana innocently showed the group a picture upon Noah's request, of a scandalously caught off guard Dane. He was sitting in their living room reading a newspaper with his shirt robe indefinitely parted to reveal glorious chest muscles. It was a picture she sneaked, thinking the beast himself might as well have walked out of a painting.

"...I concede defeat," Noah stated devastatingly.

"He's more ripped than I am," Elliot commented, admiring Dane's large muscular form.

Alex whistled and shook her head in disbelief. "Wow wow wow. Prisana, why have you been hiding such a man? He's so handsome and he looks rich too. I'm so jealous~ Theo. Don't tell me, you're jealous too?"

Everyone turned over to look Theo.

He covered his face right before Prisana could gauge his emotions.

"I concede defeat too. Prisana, I've been crushing on you since the orientation. It's not like I was ever going to act on it...Damn it, how embarrassing. M-More importantly, I brought you ladies here with the intention of bribing you with sweet drinks so you'd join our club."

Again, Theo was too smooth with his words. Everyone, including Prisana, took some time to recover as he went on to the next conversation so naturally.

Alex coughed, "What's in it for us?"

"Our club goes on free trips and upon graduating, you'll get experience and reccomendation from former actor XXX teacher in charge."

"Sounds like fun. I'm in," Prisana answered, already adoring these people she only just met.

"That easy?" Alex incredulously asked. "I-I mean, if Prisana's joining, then it seems like fun too."

It was strange. There was a heigtened sense of satisfaction as Prisana engaged in friendly banter and conversation with common folks around her age. They were all beautiful and harbored none of those fake ugly smiles full of lies like those elites she was once part of.

She could get used to this.
