Drowse - First Season - Finished

Chapter 37 - Something/July 1974

POV Helena

First of July

Today is the last day of school, in college. Finally, after three years, I finished a cycle. I'm a Bachelor of Fine Arts now. The graduation of degree will be in August, when I will receive the diploma. As it's the last day of school and the teachers and classmates will pay homage to me too, before I traveled to Manila, I was able to take my friends with me. Only Bri was not present. He'll be discharged on the fifth, but tonight I'm going to visit him at the hospital before my trip. There were cakes, salads and drinks in the room. Freddie, John, and Roger were talking to a few more people.

Everyone was saying goodbye to the teachers. They hugged me and wished me luck in the Miss Universe contest.

"What do you intend to do, after the Miss Reign has ended, Helena?" Asked a teacher.

"Master's Degree in Art History," I smiled. - I want to work in museums, art galleries as curator, continue painting my paintings. After the reign of Miss, I will leave the world of fashion a little aside and return to dedicate myself in my studies.

"Very well, Helena," said the professor. "You have a bright future ahead of you.

At that moment Rog hugged me and told my teacher:

"Helena is an excellent painter. She even painted my own self-portrait, but she did, "Rog smiled.

"Rog," she said sheepishly.

"Helena painted my self-portrait for my sister," Roger smiled. - Then I want a copy of my self-portrait.

I smiled at him. Clotilde watches us. Alicia was sitting, eating some savory foods. Your belly is already a little bigger. She watches Roger and I hugged. But then comes our way saying:

"Roger, can you give a little attention to the woman who's expecting your child?"

Alicia spoke a little louder for all to hear. Roger kept hugging me and said,

"I've already paid too much attention to you, Alicia, now I'll stay with my friend who is leaving for the Philippines tomorrow.

-What is Helena better than me? Tell me Roger? I'm blonde with blue eyes, thin, tall. I am beautiful, while Helena is younger than I am, is not thin, has black hair and black eyes. She's not beautiful. Alicia was beside herself.

"Alicia, please behave," said one of the teachers.

- Behave myself? Who should behave is Helena, after all, before she is elected Miss London and Miss England, she deceived her friends Brian and Roger, saying that she is in love with the two of them, I believe she is in this one to this day. If I want to, I'll tell you now about the organization of the event, that you dated Brian, before the Miss São Paulo contest.

At that moment Clotilde, who was sitting, rose and came up to me, saying,

"Is that true, Helena?" Before you participated in Miss Sao Paulo, did you date Brian, the hospital boy?

I had not commented on Clotilde about it. I did not know what to say. It was white, like a paper. That's when Freddie approached and said seriously:

- Yes dear Clotilde, before the Miss London contest, Helena dated for ten months, Brian, however, she broke up with him, before the contest, after all, she gave up being with him, to realize the dream of being Miss and this is what matters. Ever since Helena became Miss London and Miss England, she has not been involved with anyone else, and you are proof of this, for she is with Helena twenty-four hours a day, and I believe that this is no obstacle for our dear Helen to lose The crown, is not it? Helena is an integral and true girl.
