3. Storyline:
Shawn, Jack and Mary was voted by their classmate to represent 3A class to participate
in a Fresco Competition. Three of them have a good command in arts. As they know, there will be
given great prizes if they are the champion for the whole form.The hamper and mysterious prizes
motivated them to be the first in the competition.
Jack and Mary are having their discussion about the coming competition vigourously
while Shawn show his negligent about it. Mary invites Jack and Shawn to her house for some
further discussion about the competition. Hence, everyone started to do their research and try to find
the best idea for the competition except Shawn. He was playing his phone when others are putting
their effort in finding the best idea. Jack advise him to help them out, after that Shawn when to
help them. He put down his phone and started to find the idea for the fresco competition.
After a hard time of finding the best ideas for the competition, Mary started to complain.
To be the nice guy Jack brought them some drinks to chill. The moment he walk towards them, Jack
accidentally kicked the cup of coloured water on Mary’s paper. The water splash on the only drafts
that Mary had just drew. Mary begin to cry as she feels despair by watching her only drafts being
ruined. She wanted to give up on this competition. Jack was constantly apologizing to Mary while
Shawn is trying to encourage her to start over again. They believe that they will do better than the
previous one to have a even better idea for the competition. So, they cheered themselve up and
continued their work together.

Finally, they manage to finish their fresco on time. They was really satisfy with the product
they did and was so confident that they can win the prize. On that competition day, they
unfortunately fail to be champion. They were so disappointed and can not believe they lost the
competition. Shawn blames Jack for the result they have and feel good for himself. Shawn, Jack
and Mary’s form teacher scold Shawn that he did not introspect himself before blaming others for
the failure.
At the end, Shawn realizes his mistake after being scold by his teacher. He apologize to Jack
as he knew that he has the responsibility for the results too. Jack understand his situation and
forgave him. Three of them promise to do well and win the next champion for the next fresco
competition.
