Rhea's POV:

DAY 1

"Good morning to everyone and welcome to our Sportsfest 2024! We gathered here today for a very special week of excellence in academics, socializing, business minded and most importantly sportsmanship. Let the fun start and have a pleasant morning." The emcee's started the program kapag may mga event sa school hindi ako nakikinig sa mga speeches unless formal speech siya. Minutes goes by lighting up the torch then flag ceremony and lastly the director's speech looks like Kuya Jasper's flow of the program flows smoothly.

After the speech it was tedious at makakatulog na ako in a moment pero nagkape naman ako dahil kailangan kong magising para sa booth namin. Little by little pumunta na sa assign booths and rooms ang mga participants. By 9:00 am kami magbubukas para may oras kami mag-ayos last minute mabuti na lang kasama ko si Anika at three days kami magdudusa magbilang ng pera. I'm sure magiging sulit ito kapag nakaraos na.

"Good morning Rhea, excited ka na sa booth natin? It will be busier than last year because outsiders are allowed to explore the booths" Anika asked me and offered a cup of coffee for me. Tatanggapin ko pa rin ang kape kahit hindi ako umiinom ng kape, I thanked Anika and took a sip that will keep me energized for a couple of hours at least.

I was having a conversation with Anika when my phone rang which I immediately excused myself and checked the caller. It was Blair who was calling me, she never calls me unless there is an emergency. I quickly answered the call.

'Hey Blair! Everything okay?' Tanong ko agad sa kanya, on her line rinig ko yung paghinga niya she seems to be out of breath of something I hope she is not fucking someone who is competing the pageant today.

'I am good here, I saw Chloe here that seems to be in a bad mood may nangyari ba sa inyong away?'

'She has been like that kahapon pa and I don't know what triggered her that much, iniiwasan niya ako whenever I try to talk to her. Anyways enough about Chloe never kang tumatawag sa akin and hindi wala lang ito Blair. Ano meron?' My patience is wearing thin right now. I'm stressing myself with Chloe and I don't know what happened to her.

'Wala na miss kasi kita. Sige na bye gurl' And she hang up on me bago pa ako magmura pa sa kanya, buset na iyan tinawag lang para sa wala at tungkol din sa amin ni Chloe ngayon. I placed my phone back in my pockets as we were almost open our booth, there's already a queue waiting for their turn and we got our "pastor" ready. Customers started flooding everywhere, meron sa mga customers nagpapapicture sa akin kaya dumadami mga nagpapa-reserve.

"I think we need more people here, your popularity rises up our expectation you know we can make a fundraiser para magpapicture lang sayo" Anika suggested, I didn't agree with it and focused on our task. Slowly but steadily we got the hang of it because of the simultaneous requests and reservation.

"Pagod na agad Rhea?" I looked up who it was and it was Gizz holding loads of food from the booths. He is eating a pancake eith whipped cream right now and I hope he is not on high because of that sugar level.
