The Secret's Magic

Kabanata 13

We continue that day as what we planned, except the fact that Almario butted in and tailed us wherever the heck we go.

Wala akong ginawa kundi ang iwasan siya. Dang! What he just said that moment is perplexing. Imagine, he just said weeks ago that he's nagsasawa na sa presence ko then all of a sudden he'll call me baby and stuff?

I don't know. I'm skeptical about his words.

About the gown, we are half way through. I'm lucky to have my friends helping me to finish my evening gown as early as possible.

I still have a problem din kasi, wala pa akong talent. What should I do? Sumayaw na parang nasa party? Argh!

Me and my co candidates stand up fast when we saw our choreographer and the President of the Student Council entered the gym.

Kumunot ang noo ko when I saw Yasmin the bitch just walking behind them. What is she doing here?

"1 hour lang tayo ngayon ha, since almost done naman na lahat ng prod niyo. Alam ko namang busy na kayo kakapractice ng talents niyo."

I heard everyone giggles and shouted their gratitude, but I can't take my eyes of her. Akala ko she'll just pass by pero she's still here talking with the SC President.

"May dagdag na female candidate, from third year BS Economics. No worries, sa huling number siya kaya walang mababago sa mga na practice niyo na." The SC President announced.

The announcement gathered diverse opinion from everyone. Bakit bigla bigla na lang sila mag papasok ng new candidate. I was frowning when Yasmin look at me, as if expecting that she'll see me here dito sa gym. She gave me a playful smirk before rolling her eyes on me.

I furiously rolled my eyes as well. Too faced bitch! Bait-baitan.

"Pero bakit Pres? I mean, more than one week na lang, pageant na. Don't you think this is unfair for us na ilang linggo nang nag prapractice?" Miss Accountancy said without inhibitions.

I always find her annoying and vaunting, but I wont deny how I praise her right now. I'm on her side. This is so unfair! 

Because of what she said, nag bago lahat ang perspective ng co candidates ko especially the female candidates. They all agree with Ms. Accountancy. The boys are just watching everyone argue.

"Matagal pa naman ang pageant, more than a week pa. She can still cope up." The SC President said. This President is such an obvious bias! 

She kept on defending Yasmin behind her while everyone's explaining their sides and perspective. But what can you expect to a person who's carrying clear prejudice, pinag tatanggol pa po talaga.

That's when I decided to step in for everyone. Duh! I am a Buenaventura. I wont just stand here and let someone step on my rights.

"So that does mean you are defying the rules that you made, Miss President?" I asked her with a neutral tone.

As much as I want to make her pahiya in front of everyone, I still have awa naman. If si Calla lang talaga ang kaharap nila, I wont think twice embarrassing her right now.

"Nasa rules and regulations na binigay niyo that there's a specific time frame where candidates, in all levels and courses, must submit their forms diba? What's happening now? Are we just gonna act oblivious that there's a rules as such?" I added.

I arched my eyebrow at Yasmin when everyone screams a loud murmur of assent. And this two faced bitch is napipikon na, that made my smirk.

Come on, show your true color. Don't hide it in your deceptive smiles.
