Hoover Quantum Academy's Open School Fair

Booths, Stalls, Mascots and Chattering Voices. Today is Friday. Which means it's our Foundation Day. Madaming mga nakatayo, kumakanta at nag-aayang mga estudyante na pumasok sa mga booth nila.

"Welcome to Hoover Quantum Academy!" Cel's booming voice shocked everybody. I even flinched. Nasa stage sya kasama ang mga Student Government. Kami namang mga Shadow Government ay nag-iikot ikot to check the safety and cleanliness of booths.

Hawak-hawak ang isang clipboard ay tinitingnan ko ang mga detalye ng mga pwedeng ipang-laban na mga stall. Sa palinisan, padamihan ng costumer at pagandahan ng decorations.

"Pasok na po kayo sa Bloody Wonderland! Where you will meet Alice and her companions with a twist!" A girl wearing the Queen of Hearts costume really took the twisted Wonderland to a new level. Gamit ang Ulo ni Alice ay dun sya kumukuha ng flyers at nginingitian ng nakakatakot ang mga dumadaan.

"Visit Our Galaxium Booth!" Naka-ngiti ng inosente ang isa pang estudyante. Mga couples ang target nya at ang mga kasama nya. Syempre, pwede silang mag-lagay ng pekeng grass at mag-benta ng snacks sa loob.

"Who wants to see handsome maids and beautiful butlers?" A guy wearing a maid's costume almost made me cringe. Dahil, ang pogi nya tapos naka-palda? Sagwa. Pero, that attracts the costumers.

Samut-sari ang mga pauso ng mga estudyante para lang makakuha ng madaming costumer. May mga naka-costume, nagbibigay ng flyers at ginagamit ang charms para lang manalo.

[Good Morning, Einsteins! I'm Aly and my companion Niño will play you a song that will set the mood]

Bubbly by-Colbie Caillat
Will you count me in?

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place

It starts in my toes, and I crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes I always know
That you make me smile, please, stay for a while now
Just take your time wherever you go

Nagpatug-tog sila na syang sinabayan din ng ingay ng mga tao. Nag-tama ang tingin namin ni Cel at tumakbo sya mula sa stage papunta sakin. Hindi ako umalis ng pwesto at hinayaan sya na lumapit. "Hubby! Ayos ka lang ba? Di ka ba napapagod? Baka magka-sakit ka?" Tuloy-tuloy nyang tanong. Hinawakan ko ang kanyang balikat nya at niyug-yog ng konti.

The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under covers stayin' dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

It starts in my toes, make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile, please, stay for a while now
Just take your time wherever you go

But what am I gonna say?
When you make me feel this way
I just, mmm

"Chill. Ayos lang ako Cel. Ikaw, baka masinat ka?" Tanong ko at tiningnan ang temperature nya. Nag-pout sya at tinabig ng mahina ang kamay ko. Tumawa ako at ginulo ang buhok nya. She's fine.

And it starts in my toes, makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile, please, stay for a while now
Just take your time wherever you go
