Chloe's POV
Even though Daphne was able to meditate whatever that happened the previous day, I wasn't able to shake off the sense of inferiority. Nicole was going to my dream country, Ethan and Crystal were going to China together, and Anika was going to Germany. And here I am stuck in Singapore with just art by my side.

To feel better about myself, I decided to start doodling on my worksheets and post it online so I could show people my art skills. And what better way to do this than to do it in class?

(Chloe is drawing this character ^^^)
Taking out my colour pencils, I placed it on my lap and thought about which anime character to draw. I know! I was going to make sure I drew a chibi version of the prettiest girl in the world—Eli Ayase from Love Live School Idol Project. Taking a light blue colour pencil, I started doodling her from memory, not really caring about YZ staring at me the whole time. "Hey Chloe, I think you should save the doodling for later," YZ advised. I gave him a death glare and continued doodling away.

Should I just colour the essential parts of Eli's body or use all my colour pencils to colour everything? You know what; it'll be more complete if I used all the colours in my 48 colour pencil pack. I continue doodling away, thinking about how everyone was going to fawn away over my art once I post it. The comments would make me a lot more popular than my sister. She only posts once a week, so she's stuck at 400 forever. I'm 2000 and counting.

The shadow on Eli's hair was coming together perfectly! The soothing sound of the colour pencils really felt like ASMR...until I felt someone grab my colour pencil.
YZ's POV
YZ: come on! Stop drawing in class for once! I'm wasting my time reminding you on drawing. And she's going to check our notes!

YZ: OMG! I heard what you did. Doesn't mean you didn't get the cultural exchange means you get to doodle all day long.

Chloe: shut up! Art is all I have left! And that stupid KCPGT! 
In a fit of rage, she blasts Realise by Vivid Bad Squad which is her audition song. She proceeds to dance her parts for the audition, distracting the rest of the class from the lesson.

Ningguang: I love you Chloe!

Keqing; give us an encore!

All: encore! Encore!
Mdm Yeo's POV
"Chloe, give me your notes," I declared. Chloe could only timidly stumble her way to me and I saw the notes. Why was there a blonde girl amidst all the characters? I could've screamed at her but decided not to. This wasn't the first chibi character I've seen on her notes. On her worksheets that I handed to the class, there were always random, senseless doodles with nothing related to the class.

My cheeks flushed, but I decided shouting at her was useless. I knew where she should go next, a place someone else can finally discipline her.
