Dorm 308

{ T W E N T Y F O U R }

The Sports Fest and Vanity Fair starts today, on the first week of December. The hallways are overly crowded with people who are too loud and rowdy. The whole field is covered with booths of different games and food stalls, there's the typical ring toss game, dart games or whatever you call them. The main attraction of this whole three day event is the Basketball and Volleyball Championship tomorrow. They had at least three weeks to practice after the tryouts. And on the last day, there's a mini concert event and fireworks. Today is just a warm up of the events tomorrow. Also, today is the ticket selling for the sports game and concert.

Marlene and I are walking down the green grass of the school grounds. We are talking about her Volleyball practice yesterday and how she hates a certain girl for purposely hitting her on the face.

"I will hit her on the face in front of the whole student body tomorrow at the game. We will be competing anyway." She shrugs as she mentally plans her sweet revenge.

"Are you seriously doing that?" I asked her.

I spotted a cotton candy mini stall in the corner and grabbed Marlene on her elbow. I carefully directed us towards the pink stall through the sea of people who are walking around the place also. The stalls are placed neatly by row causing the huge crowd of students to stay in the middle aisle.

"I may do it, that's why you should watch."

"I can't promise that I can watch. There's too many people who will buy and by the time I can buy, it will be sold out." I sighed. I was disappointed that there's fifty or less chances of me buying a ticket for the game. I was eager and determined to buy one for each event, but when I heard a rumor saying the tickets are being reserved for people who have connections, my hope dissipated in the air.

"Don't lose hope, I bet you can get one. There will be a lot of tickets for more than half of the students studying in this university." Marlene encouraged. "Harry is playing right?"

"Yeah." I replied. Second reason why I want to get a ticket is because Harry told me he got picked to play for the game tomorrow. The first reason to watch is because of Marlene, but my mind keeps telling me that I was too eager to see Harry play again that's why I was excited for this Sports fair.

I will never tell Marlene and Harry about that. Marlene will tease me about liking Harry and being us together, though I can't fully deny the first one, and she will somehow get disappointed with me and for Harry, it will surely boost his already flaunting ego much more. He will never shut up about it.

"More reasons to buy." She pressed on. "Are you buying cotton candy?" Marlene asked as she realized that we have been in line for buying the treat that I love.

"Yes, don't tease me." I sent her a half intimidating glare. For sure she will tease me for buying cotton candy, because she always tease me in both my pathetic non existent love life and unhealthy food choice.

Once we are the ones being served, I get a mixture of blue and pink cotton candy. I paid for the candy and continued walking around the grounds looking at every small store and food stalls that are on business. The booths and stalls varies from henna tattoos, charms and bracelet, clothes, small antique things and many more. Making the school look like a little market except they are not selling raw items. Harry also told me that the Business and Management faculty and students are the ones who organized the whole market thing. The students themselves are the ones who planned and managed the stalls and booth that we are seeing right now.

"Is that Harry?" Marlene tapped me on the shoulder causing me too look at the direction of her gaze. There he is, sitting on a plastic stool as he puts fake tattoos on a person's body. I then remembered that Harry is a Business Major that's why he is here, working. "Let's go see." Before I can even respond, Marlene dragged me to the small tent like stall where Harry is currently sitting at.
