It seems like the school loves to do beauty pageants but it was unlike elementary beauty contests where money is the number one factor for winning the crown.

I woke up two hours early from my past awaking time since I have to support and cheer for Willmark in today's pageant. He's the representative of their course, he's also going to wear a sports attire like every contestants.

At eight thirty in the morning, I finally arrived to the school grounds after the congestion of traffic from Manilad. I immediately went to the back stage and met Willmark's classmates.

"Oh, the girlfriend is here!"

"Move away people, Willmark's girlfriend is here!"

I was a bit embarrassed at their shouts and duck ahead and went to Willmark's side. He held my hand and I gave him my older brother's Jersey.

"Sorry for being late, traffic's so bad"

"It's fine, thanks for this" he smiled and I held his hand, there's still half an hour of time before they go on stage.

We head near the school gates and I told him to be still as I took pictures of him. He was well built and tall, the fairness of his skin can rival those of a woman. Everytime he smiles his eyes formed into a crescent moon shape and it's as if it was filled with lustrous gems, his teeth is pearly white making his smile more perfect than ever.

"Done taking pictures?" I soon woke up from my stupor and nodded at him before sitting down.

We made small conversations here and there and when it was about to be nine, we stood up and walked back to the back of the stage.

"You can do it! I'll cheer for you but not too much since I still have to do my report" I smiled sheepishly at him before he shaked his head in laughter.

I wove through the mass of students, and finally reached my class and sat down on the floor. My friends were already waving at me so I went to their side.

"Gonna cheer for your bebe?"

"Of course I am!" I said proudly, my boyfriend is too charismatic, he's always a part of any pageants and games.

"Jamie, your boyfriend is really handsome, mind introducing me to him?" Emil asked and I instantly shook my head and scolded him.

"Don't you dare flirt with my boyfriend Emil or else I'll really castrate you!"

"That's what I like" he said with a wink and I responded with a kick on his side which resulted him into shouting aray.

This- how dare he try to covet my boyfriend in front of me? It seems like my boyfriend's too handsome that even guys would be enamored by him, really, I have to work hard more in the future.

The program started and instantly, the whole time my eyes had only look at his tall stature, in my eyes the other contestants were nothing but air. I do admit that I'm a bit jealous at Willmark's partner but it left quickly as soon as I remember that I'm his girlfriend.

Soon it was his turn to stride forward and introduce himself. My throat was raw from shouting the moment he stepped on the center of the stage. I whipped of my phone and took countless of pictures and even recorded a video of him standing up, smiling and him walking and introducing himself to the stage.
