New Classic successfully ended the European leg of their world tour after two months of going on tour in Europe―nonstop. All fifteen stops of their tour were all sold out―combining the 7 shows they did around Europe and the Asian leg of their tour. At the same time, they also won new awards as a band―making history.
There were a lot of international and local articles about their successful world tour. Filipino journalists branded them as the pride of OPM. The rise of their popularity couldn't be stopped. Top Star Records also took that opportunity to push them even more and do promotions, so they were really constantly attracting a lot of fans.
Even during their tour overseas, we were still kept busy. Their fanclubs from the other countries were coordinating with us because of the fan projects. As the official admins of First Class, we acted as the middle man between the international fanclubs and the management of New Classic. Though it was a lot of work, we had fun communicating with them as we all support one group. We have something in common.
As soon as New Classic was back in the country, they did a press con to announce the encore concert of their tour here in Manila―which would mark as the end of New Classic's first world tour, Utopian World.

The sudden announcement of their encore concert led me into juggling my student duties and my responsibilities in the fandom. It caught me off guard. We were only given two weeks to prepare for the fan project. But as the head organizer, it made sense why my mother was still busy after getting back in the country from the tour with New Classic.
Gusto ko na tuloy matapos lahat ng mga kailangan kong gawin na requirements sa school bago ang encore concert. Ayokong matambakan ng mga gawain lalo na't may ibang responsibilidad pa ako. I wanted to enjoy the concert without worrying about my academics.
That was why I took the courage to meet up with Blair again. We were randomly assigned as partners for the case digest that we needed to present together. Noong una nga ay natatakot pa akong lumapit sa kanya para magpakilala. However, I realized that she wasn't really like what people judged her to be. She was somehow approachable. Kaya nga lang, kahit na alam kong ganoon, hindi pa rin ako mapakali kapag nilalapitan siya. I guessed it's because she's close to Ida―she's her best friend.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
I didn't expect that I would witness this kind of scene as I arrived where Blair and I decided to meet up.
"You and Gael! Alam ko na! Huwag na kayong magmaang-maangan. May nakakita sa inyo." Darlene was fuming mad as she accused Blair. "You two made a scene at the hallway, pagkatapos ay nagtago pa kayo sa bakanteng room, 'di ba?"
Natigilan ako sa paglapit sa kanilang dalawa dahil ayokong makisama sa gulo. They were getting a lot of attention from other students. Madami ang tumitigil para lamang panooring silang dalawa.
