After two months of practices, trainings, and preparations for the sportsfest, the day has finally come. Maaga akong ginising ni mama para maayusan na dahil at exact 9 the pageant will start. Marami raw ang manonood at isa sa mga judge ay isang model.
"Even if they recruit me, hindi ko tatanggapin ang offer nila." I crossed my arms. "But why? Ang ganda mo kaya! Manang mana ka sa akin." Mama flipped her hair.
Hindi ko na lang siya pinansin at kumain na lang. Maya-maya pa ay nagbukas ang pinto. My eyes widen as I saw two women. Hindi lang sila basta-basta, they work for a famous make-up company. "Beshie!"
Napatingin ako kay mama na bigla nalang sumigaw at tumakbo papunta sa dalawang babae. Napatakip ako ng bibig nang magyakapan sila. "Where is she?! I want to see her?" They all looked at me and I stopped eating.
Bigla nalang sila tumili at tumakbo papunta sa akin. "Smooth, silky, and soft hair kahit hindi ito ang original hair color niya?" Tumango lamang si mama na parang proud na proud sa buhok ko.
"Her skin is so clear, I see no pimples, acnes, blackheads, or whatever. Paano kayo nakagawa ni Demon ng isang masterpiece?!" I don't know what's going on. One is caressing my hair and one's touching my face. Tamang ngiti lang si mama at panay ang pagflip sa kaniyang buhok.
"Libre na ang hair and make-up. This girl is rare. Bree, make sure to record our hair and make-up session."

THIRD PERSON
They only have two hours left before the pageant. Habang inaayusan na si Death ng hair & make-up, nagbukas muli ang pinto at pumasok sina Becca and Zandra.
"Costume's here!"
Lumapit sila papunta kay Death at napatitig sa mga nag-aayos sa kaniya. "Omg! B, it's Ashley and Brielle. Sila yung famous hair & make-up artists na nagtatrabaho sa New York!" Nginitian lamang sila nina Ashley at nagpatuloy lang sa pag-asikaso kay Death.
"Girls, these are my friends back in college. Inaanak nila si Death."
Maya-maya pa ay natapos na ang kaniyang look. Costume nalang ang kulang. Before the general practice that was held last week, they drew lots kung ano ang sports outfit nila. Luckily, Death got the motor racer. Hindi niya na kakailanganin pa na mag-skirt, plus, she'll wear all black.
Akala niya okay na ang lahat, but when she saw the costume, she thought twice before wearing it. "Susuotin ko yan?" She asked. Tumango si Zandra at hinila si Death papunta sa kaniyang kwarto para magpalit. Since tumakas lang sina Becca at Zandra para maibigay ang costume, umalis agad sila.
DEATH
I'm not really sure about this outfit. It's too fit for me. Usually, baggy clothes ang suot ko. This time, I'll be showing everyone my curves and all. Hindi ako sure.
Tinignan ko ang sarili ko sa mirror, I looked hot and cool. The costume's comfortable kahit masikip ito. I sighed. Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at bumaba na.
Mama and her friends stared at me. Damn, I can't blame them. Maski ako ay nabighani sa sarili kong itsura. I never felt this gorgeous before.
Napatingin sa orasan si mama at bigla nalang siya nataranta. We only have twenty minutes left. Sumakay na sila sa kotse ni mama. Humiwalay ako sa kanila at sumakay sa motor ko.
