Celestial Academy: Unveiling Destiny (Academy Series 1)

Chapter 40

Seraphina's Pov

Wendy and Arianna had just finished doing my make up, and as I looked at myself in the mirror, I barely recognized the girl staring back at me. Dahan dahan akong napahawak sa aking pisngi. Wala na ang pagka putla ng aking mukha as well as the dark circles around my eyes.

I wore a red, dazzling gown that clung to my curves in all the right places. Hinaplos ko ang tela ng gown, It was made of silk. The high slit of the gown revealed my long legs. Kitang kita ko mula sa salamin ang tattoo sa aking collarbone dahil tube and design nito. Hinaplos ko ito, Nakaramdam ako ng parang kuryenteng dumaloy mula sa aking collarbone hanggang sa iba't ibang parte ng aking katawan.

"You look stunning Sera." Wendy said, her eyes is shining with pride. Napatingin ako sa kanya gamit ang salamin, she's wearing an off shoulder blue gown na bagay ba bagay sa kanya.

Arianna nodded in agreement. "Siguradong ikaw ang pinaka maganda mamaya." Arianna is wearing a gold gown. Bahagyang nakikita ang cleavage niya dahil sa mababang neckline ng suot niya.

I forced a smile. "Salamat.. You two look good also." They both smile.

"Now, remember to smile and have fun and just enjoy the night." Wendy said giving me a reassuring squeeze on my shoulder. Tumango ako.

"Tama si Wendy. Don't let anyone ruin it for you." Arianna added, her eyes is full of determination.

"Wait! What is that in your collarbone Sera?" Wendy said. She's looking at my tattoo.

"Is that a tattoo?" Tanong naman ni Arianna. Tumango ako.

"Ano yan?.. I mean anong ibig sabihin niyan?" Si Wendy naman ang nagtanong. I'm not in the mood to answer her question kaya nagkibit balikat ako.

"It's nothing. Just don't mind it." We heard a knock from the door after I finished talking. Nagkatinginan ang dalawa bago nagtungo si Arianna para pagbuksan kung sino man ang nasa pinto.

Arianna opened it, revealing Arisson standing there. He look dashing in his Tailored suit. His eyes widened when he saw me. Nakita kong natigilan siya at natulala.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

A slow smile spread across his face. "Sera you look.. breathtaking." He said, his voice is filled with awe.

"Thank you Arisson.. You don't look so bad yourself." Nasa akin lang ang mga mata niya habang lumalapit.

"Favoritism ka Aris! Hindi mon lang kami pinuri." Nagtatampong saad ni Arianna. Nabaling ang mga mata ni Arisson sa kanilang dalawa ni Wendy.

"Maganda lang ang pinupuri ko." Saad niya habang nakangisi. Nakita ko ang pagkunot ng noo ng dalawa.

"Sinasabi mo bang pangit kami Arisson." Nakataas ang kilay na sambit ni Wendy.

"Parang ganun na nga." Mabilis na nagtago sa likod ko si Arisson ng akma siyang papaluin ni Wendy ng handbag na hawak niya.

"Babe oh." Napabuntong hininga ako saka hinila si Arisson papunta sa aking tabi.

"Let's go, baka nagstart na."

We walked down the corridor silently, my heart is pounding with every step that I take. Malamyos na musika ang aming naabutan pagdating namin sa gym kung saan magaganap ang ball. The gym was already filled with students and faculty staff, all dress in their finest attire. The air was thick with excitement and anticipation.

As we entered, all eyes turned to us. Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa braso ni Arisson na siyang dahilan kung bakit siya napatingin saakin.

"Chin up babe. Let them see how gorgeous my date is." Ginawa ko ang sinabi. I roamed my eyes. I can see amazement and admiration on the eyes of the boys and some of the girls are looking at me with envy and jealousy.
