Courting Rancis Ong: The Seven Despicable Boys (bxb) (On going)

/48/

Just close your eyes, the sun is going down.
It will be all right, no one will hurt you now.
Calm morning lights, you and I will be safe.

"I... I am Rancis Ong. I will be your host for today's event," I announced on the microphone.

My trembling voice filled the whole event hall. Everyone was looking at me all stunned. I saw the the whole St. Therese basketball team on the centre of the hall, right next to the gymnastics team. I smirked as I saw Zac looking at me intently as if trying to make sense of what's happening.

I am wearing a dashing royal blue dress that elegantly cascades to the floor, it is also studded by uncountable crystals refracting lights like a bouncing rays of the sun.

Loel prepared this dress and, my hair and makeup for me, while Winston carried my things. Jules talked — threw money at their faces — to the organizers of this events so that I would become the host. And Yuno orchestrated this whole plan.

I inhaled sharply as I tried to calm my nerves. This is the turning point. The whole Kristofferson family is here because they're the guest of honors for being the biggest investor in this university — not shocking nonetheless.

This is Yuno's plan. To expose the crime the whole Kristofferson family is hiding. A crime that destroyed the families of Yuno, Loel, Jules, and Winston. The crime is disgusting; it is revolting, and to lock away such nefarious doings is beyond appalling.

Hindi ko akalaing kayang gawin ng isang tao ang ganoong klaseng bagay. Sobrang nakaka-suka. Alam niyo ba kung anong mas malala doon? Parte ng lahat nang ito ang aking ina. Ang aking sariling ina na handang gawin ang lahat para sakin.

I smiled, "I'm here to announce who amongst all of the university's team and athletes won the preliminary competition."

The audience let out a loud cheer, however some jeered.

I announced all the teams and athletes that won different sports until I reached the point where I have to announce the basketball teams.

I inhaled sharply. This is that moment where my heart's suppose to pound restlessly.

"The teams that'll qualify for the main competition are — in no particular order — the Forks Royal Eagles, Timberstone Green Hogs, Virgin Mary Red Virgos, and last however is not the least." I smirked then pierced a stare at Zac, "The St. Therese Blue Cayotes!"

Another wave of cheer filled the room, it was deafening nonetheless.

The teams that are announced must go to the stage to be scrutinized by the general public, which is pretty unnecessary but is still done.

"You look beautiful," someone suddenly said.

Tinignan ko kung sino 'yong nagsabi noon at halos mamatay ang puso ko sa kaba ng aking makita ang kanyang mukha. Nakatingin sa'kin ang buong St. Therese basketball team dahil ang kanila lang namang team captain ay nakatayo sa aking harapan.

He was out of place. The whole place suddenly went silent because of the scene that he had caused.

My heart skipped a beat for a moment, my mind burst into a kaleidoscope of colors, whilst my limbs turned spaghetti soft.
