I'm In Love With HIM

Chapter 38: The Win and Lost

BLUE

The day has come. The day that the whole Northville is waiting has come. The grandiose clash of wisdom, talents and prowess has began.

The excitement from the faces of the students is so captivating. No doubt that they already wore that smile since the time woke up from bed.

The whole gymnasium is now filled with students, wearing their team shirts. Every team has it’s own color representation. The ABM Counters bleachers were filled with their green lights. Purple dominated the whole HUMSS Speakers. GAS Generals is now clouded with blue while the TVL Innovators shined in yellow. Last but not the least, we, the STEM Thinkers firing in red.

It’s really a view to see each other teams cheering against each other. Since from the opening program, I can already feel the tension within the teams.

After the parade, dumiretso na kami sa gymnasium para sa opening program. Of course, I have my personal assistant at my side. Mr. Gray held my water bottle the entire parade. The candidates were obliged to bring the banner in each other’s team. Kaya nasa unahan kami palagi at si Mr. Gray naman ang taga-bigay sa akin ng tubig.

Pagkarating ko sa gymnasium, dumiretso na kami sa backstage para sa first official appearance namin sa pagbubukas ng intramurals.

I don’t know, but I am already trembling right now. Hindi ako sanay sa mga ganito. Kaya hindi ko alam kung paano pakalmahin ang sarili ko.

I saw Ellaiza at my side together with a make-up artist. Inaayos pa nila ang aking sarili. Tapos na akong ayusan ng make-up artist naming mga male candidates. I’m really hoping na maayos lang ang mukha ko ngayon.

“Kinakabahan ka?”

I automatically turned at my back when I heard her usual cute voice. When I saw her face in this state, I was totally mesmerized.

Damn! She is so beautiful. Where in the world did she came from? Is she still a human being?

Alam ko na maganda talaga siya kahit wala pang make-up, but putting make-up on her just make her beauty ethereal. It enhances her beauty perfectly.

“Hello Sandra. I don’t know how to control it,” I uttered, telling her the truth.

There’s no use of lying. It won’t help.

“Kalma ka lang. Masasanay ka rin. Just be yourself in walking the stage,” she said with a hint of encouragement.

“Okay. Thanks,” I uttered, rubbing my palms.

“Guys, please do prepare na,” the stage director told us.

Mas lalong tumindi ang kabog ng aking dibdib. Daan-daang estudyante ang nakaabang na makita ako. Some of them will support me while some of them will hate.

“Let’s go,” Sandra uttered, pulling me to the entrance of the stage.

Tanaw ko mula rito ang naghihiyawang mga estudyante. Each of them are cheering for us. I can see my team in a fiery read, cheering for me and Ellaiza.

“And now let us welcome, the official candidates for this year’s Mr. and Ms. NSU High!”

As soon as the host announced, isa-isa na kaming lumabas mula sa backstage at sinalubong ang malakas na hiyawan ng mga mag-aaral.
