I am Venice

Chapter 4

Chapter 4
One day had already passed since Jayden Austin introduce hisself to me. I was left dumbstruck and didn't know what to say. I was about to tell this to Paige but i suddenly remember that we're not in a good terms. I really want to talk to Paige. She is my human diary, actually. But remembering what she told me, made me a bit annoyed. It makes me feel sad that my best friend doesn't believe in me and not placing her trust in me. But its's okay i'll just find a right time to reconcile with her.

"I heard that the election is just around the corner. Good luck, nominees. Class, remember to vote wisely! Class dismissed." With that Mrs. Murphy left as the bell rang signaling that it's break time already.

I can't find Paige anywhere. She didn't attend our first and second class. I'm starting to be worried.

"Ven" i heard a familiar voice and look behind.
Yes it was Paige. Wearing a green t-shirt with my face on it and has a label of "Vote Wisely. Vote Venice Dixon." Holding so many posters and leaflets. Is she supporting me now?
"Paige" i think i'm going to cry because of the sweet gesture of Paige.
And i'm right, i began to cry and Paige too and suddenly hugged each other very tight. Oh, how i miss Paige.
"I'm sorry, Venice. You are right. I should've believe in you no matter how big your opponent is." she cried still hugging me.
"Ssshh. It's okay, Paige. It's enough for me that you decided to support me now." I assured her as i caressed her hair.
"You missed me, do you?" She asked me and poked me.
"Nawp. You're the one who missed me, right?" This time, i'm the one who poked her.
We said our "i miss you" and both laugh out loud. Paige is such a sweetheart.

"So, that's the reason why you didn't attend our first and second class?" I asked Paige while we're sticking the posters that she was holding a while ago.
Paige told me that after deciding to support me she made a poster and leaflet for me and also a green t-shirt with my name and face on it. I wore the shirt that Paige made for me. That was really the sweetest gesture Paige has ever done for me. Now, we really look like we're careering this campaign! Yes, I got my head in the election! Fighting, Venice.

Time Check: 2:30 pm
After our class, me and paige decided to distribute the leaflets while wearing our very own shirt. We decided to split, me on the cafeteria and Paige at front gate of our school.

"Hi, Venice!" Some girl just call me. I look behind to see who called me. When i looked back she smiled at me. I remember this girl, but not her name. I don't know where the hell i saw here. So i just smiled back at her at gave her my leaflet.
"Venice, I didn't know you'll be interested to join this election." Again, some girl whom I didn't know but looks familiar to me tried to have a conversation with me. Again, i just smiled back.
"I'll vote for you, Dixon!" The guy whom again i don't know called me. This makes me stir up. Then it's just sunk in my mind that those people who called me were my classmates and they just notice me because i'm running as a SC officers. Wow, so this election made me instant popular at least i hope so.
I was on my own dreamland when precipitously someone bumped me and all my leaflets falls on the ground and the girl who bumped me didn't even bother to look or even help me out! Aish that girl!
I was about to get the last leaflet when someone stepped on it. What the hell! What did i do wrong?
"Hey! Watch out!" I growled at myself. But 'that someone' didn't even move a bit! Is he testing my patience?
"Aish! Hassle!" I complain. I stand up to face 'that someone' who dare to step on my precious leaflet!

Oh.my.gosh.
Unbelievable.
Kooky.
Flimsy.
This is far-fetched from what i've always imagine.
Max Nichols. Yes. My crush. My dream guy. My love. The love of my life.
Is. Literally. Standing. Right. In front of me.
I pinched my arm. Ouch! I am not dreaming!!
My hands, feet and my face starts to sweat a lot because of the nervousness i'm feeling right now.
Then just after how many minutes I heard his serene voice, the voice that i've been wanting to hear for like ages.
"2 minutes." He said in a peaceful tone while looking at his watch.
"Oh?" I can't believe that's the only word that left my mouth! Stupid, Venice!
"2 minutes had passed since you start staring at me." I space out at what he said. For real? That long? Work it, Venice! Think fast! Think of an attested reason.
"Dirt." What? Are you serious Venice? I'll give you a round of applause for that wonderful reason.
"Dirt?" He repeat with a questionable look on his face.
"Yea. Yeah! Dirt. There's a dirt on your face." I said in a jiffy. Good, Venice! You just officially ruined your first impression to your dream guy!
He smirked at me. Yes, Max Nichols smirked at me. Even if it's a smirk, it actually made me happy because it's for me! Yay, too obsessed, Venice?
"Venice Dixon, right?" What? He know me? OMG! Get a grip, Venice!
"Y-you know me?" I stammer! What the hell!
He pointed at my shirt. Oh, Yes! There's no way he'd know me! How come i assumed!
"O-oh. Yes. Venice. Venice Dixon." What are you waiting for, Venice? Go stretch your arm so you can shake his hands.
But unfortunately, i don't have the guts to do that.
"Running as a student body treasurer?" He ask. But not looking at me.
"Yes. Venice Dixon running as a student council treasurer." Woah, That came out great.
"I see." He looked so laid-back. Looks like he don't have any problem at all.
He walk away from and with just a meter away he stopped abruptly and speak.
"You'll have my vote." He said in a serene tone not looking back and walked away as i watch his retrograde figure.
Wait. Did i hear it right?
"You'll have my vote"
"You'll have my vote"
"You'll have my vote"
Yes. I did hear it right.
Is this the start of something new?
Is my dream starting to come true?
