Aiah spent the whole weekend thinking of an efficient way to get Mikha's attention.

Monday: In the Cafeteria

Aiah: "I'm Mariah Queen Arceta and I'm eh eh eh eh ready!" she told herself then she started singing while entering the cafeteria...

Aiah: "I feel good, feels like a rainbow in the sky~"

Aiah's first plan was to sing while passing by Mikha.

Her angelic voice made every student turn their heads to her and stop eating just to listen to her. She drew a crowd in the canteen within seconds.

Aiah: "I'm in paradise, oh, I'm in paradise~"

Students: "YEEEEEEEEEEEEE. MORE!!"

Aiah: "Ikaw ang nasa isip, laman ng panaginip~"

Aiah noticed Mikha was busy eating her lunch while reading a book...

She suddenly sang louder intentionally.

Aiah: "Ikaw ang nasa isip, laman ng panaginip~"

Then, Mikha stood up and looked at Aiah momentarily then left the cafeteria.

Aiah's tone turned gloomy and she stopped singing.

Aiah: "Pati ba naman sa harana di ka makuha, Mikha?"


MISSION FAILED.




Tuesday morning (No classes)

Aiah: "This plan will work! I'm perfect today hihi!", while looking in her salamin salamin.

She bought a new red dress from Luwis Button and a pair of Guchee sandals, applied a little bit of make-up and sprayed her favorite Koko Shanel perfume.

Aiah left her room quickly and was greeted by Mr. Wu and Lingling at the gate of her house.

Mr. Wu: Good morning Ms. Queen, ur so gorgeous today! May ka-date ka?

Lingling: "meoooow *furious*"

Aiah laughed. "No, Mr. Wu! It's a great day to wear my new outfits." *posing like a model*

Mr. Wu: Araw-araw ka naman may bagong damit eh...

Lingling: "Meowww~ *in agreement*"

Aiah: "Ay ganon ba? Sayang kasi, naka sale 50% off. Don't tell mom ha!"

Mr. Wu: "I won't, Ms. Queen. Are you leaving? Do you need my assistance today?"

Aiah: "I'm good, Mr. Wu. Thank you. I'll call you if I need you to fetch me. Bye Lingling, magpakabait ka Lingling or else magiging siopao ka :P"

Mr. Wu whispering to Lingling, "Kakakain mo ng galunggong yan araw-araw."

Lingling: "Meow~ *happy tone*"

**At the park**

"There you are! I'll win you this time for sure! " Aiah in a determined voice. "Gumagaling na ako sa pagsta-stalk ko rin, hihi."

Aiah strolled through the park where Mikha could see her and as usual, everyone in the park was captivated by the young lady's appearance. She's like a fairy enchanting each and every one by her beauty.

ALL EXCEPT MIKHA.

She's busy playing with her friend's dog while chatting with her friend.

"What kind of conversation ba pinag uusapan nyo, bakit ang ganda ng ngiti mo."

Aiah pouted. "Hindi mo ba talaga ako napapansin?"

She observes Mikha afar, giggling with her friend and can't help but feel jealous.
Aiah was hypnotized by Mikha's smile, radiant and cheerful, like the sun in the sky.

She walked towards where Mikha is...
One step forward, two steps back, bawat apak na kay bigat for Aiah.

Before she could reach Mikha, the two got up and leave.

"It's too late." *sigh*

Aiah went home with a heavy heart.

The next day~

Location: School's gymnasium, pageant event

Aiah is the representative for their school department.

Growing up, she used to join every kind of events that showcased not only her looks but her intelligence, talent and pleasing personality. And she always wins.

This is a walk in the park for Aiah.

The stage is filled with pink and white flowers, and Aiah steps into the spotlight with elegance and grace. Her gown, a cascade of midnight blue satin, glittering like the stars in the sky in every step she takes and hugging her curves in all the right places in her every movement. She was a vision of beauty and sophistication that captivated all who beheld her. In that moment, she was not just a woman in a dress; she was a goddess descended from the heavens.

Male Student 1: "Mariah Queen Arceta, akin ka na laaaaang, akin ka nalaaaaang, giliw~"

Male student 2: "Pumila ka sa likod, oi!"

Male student 3: "Lord, wag mo na akong papilahin sa likod please."

Also, a crowd of girls were also cheering and holding a big banner for her saying: (WE LOVE YOU QUEEN AIAH xoxo-MAGANDANG BINBINI CLUB)

The program started and one by one, the contestants were introduced. Then it was Aiah's turn.

MC: "Give a round of applause to contestant # 8, Mariah Queen Arceta!"

A loud cheer was heard as Aiah takes place in the center, waving to everyone.

Jhoanna: "Go Ate Aiah! Ate ko 'yan!! Woohoo"

Colet: "Wala kayong laban sa manok ko!"

She was delighted when she heard her best friends in the crowd cheering for her but her mind is bothered by something.

This grand event is Aiah's last idea to get Mikha's attention. Well, not exactly, it just happened that it's their school centennial anniversary and it's the most awaited occasion throughout the school year. Aiah wanted to use this big opportunity to do her mission.

She scanned the whole audience but she can't find that girl in the crowd.

"Huh, bat hindi ko siya mahanap? Where could she be?"
...
