Falling Treasures

EDWARD POV

It's been two weeks after the announcement of the sportfest of the university. Today is the day where the contestants of Ms. Sportfest will be practicing with the a known beauty queen. Since they cancelled the class, Dale, Marco, Vivoree, Yong and I decided to watch their practice.

"I'm kinda nervous for Kisses. To have a beauty queen to judge her is terrifying." Dale commented as we walked.

"I'm sure Kisses can take that. She's used standing infront of a crowd." Vivoree commented which I agree.

"Yup. This will be a piece of cake to Kisses." Marco added.

Yong nudged me and whispered, "You don't have any input?"

I looked at him as if there's something wrong with me not saying anything.

"Don't let Marco win dude." He said as he shook his head.

"There's no competition here dude." I said.

"Yeah yeah, like what you said." He said still not believing me.

"Right. She can do this." Dale remarked.

"In the end, we just need to believe in her." I said as we arrived at the gym.

We decided to take the bleacher which is nearer with the contestants. There we saw Kisses standing properly with a poise of a beauty queen. You can see confidence in her as she plastered that radiant smile of hers.

"Kisses!" Marco called the her attention which she heard and shyly waved at us.

"Come on let's take a seat. It's going to be her turn now." Vivoree said as we took our seat.

"Okay, now it's your turn Kisses Denne. Start yout runnway walk." Ms. Lara said as she took her seat and looked at Kisses who is about to walk.

As expected of her, she walked gracefully and her smile never waivered. You could considered her walk, simple yet elegant. Her nickname in is "Queen" and from what I'm seeing right now is she deserves that. She can walk the talk. As soon as she was finished, she went back to her placed and stood proudly.

"Okay, where do I start? you said that you are joining pageants right?" Ms. Lara said as she look at her sheet.
"Yes maam." Kisses answered.

"Well, it doesn't look at it." She said sternly as she looked at her. From there, her smile waivered but still a small smile is still in her face.

"How many pageants have you joined?" Ms. Lara asked.

"Four Maam." Kisses answered.

"Four already? But from what I can see, I can't see someone who is joining pageants." Ms. Lara said.

"Is that how a beauty queen even stand? You should look in the mirror. You look a bit chubby. You don't have the height beauty queens has. What will you do about it? Where is you smile?" Ms. Lara continuously said to Kisses. Her smile dropped and now look stunned.

"Do you think your parents will be proud of you?" She added. That hurts. family is a taboo topic to everyone and if I were her I would really be pissed off. But from what I can see, Kisses is still handling it maturely.

"That's harsh." Dale commented.

"You bet." Vivoree agreed.

"You need to loose weight and you're too wobbly." Ms. Lara pointed. Kisses is still speechless. I don't blame her. Ms. Lara's words are a lot to take in.

"So do you agree with me that you look a bit chubby? Don't you think you face is big? Yes or no?" She asked. Kisses only nodded. No words came out from her mouth.
