CHAPTER 29
FOUNDATION DAY 1
Louise
When I reach the school gate I saw my friends waiting for near the guard's house because I have lots things today. They come near to get the two large picnic basket that contains bibingka at puto cheese. I hand over to them the baskets because it's so heavy that's why we went to our booth directly to bring them foods there. When we reach there I saw that the other foods are already there and they microwave it to reheat so they can put it on the glass corner.
They give the baskets to my seniors and thank us after that we left to wander around. We decided to went on the photo booth first so we can have a group picture. On the first shot we just smile, on the second shot we pose a jump shot, on the third shot we pose wacky, on the fourth shot we pose a peace sign and on the fifth shot we pose with a hand gesture of finger heart. The other shots we just smile and when were to get the pictures they ask a favor from me and Kris to have a picture together.
They are the one who will say what pose we will do on every shot. For the first shot Kris put his arm around my shoulder, on the second shot we pose having a hand gesture forming a heart, on the third shot we hold hands, on the fourth shot we only just smile and on the fifth shot Kris put his hand around my waist. Actually, I'm a bit uncomfortable the pose that they ask us yet it's their favor so I grant it and I don't want them to think that I'm a kill joy. I'm surprise on the last shot because he kisses me on the cheek. I know that on that shot I look like shock because I'm surprise on what he did that's why I distance myself a bit from him.
My friends ask a favor from the staff of that booth if they can make an eight copies of our group photos and two copies of the photos of the two of us. They agreed but we have to pay five thousand pesos for it and we also agree. Were shock when Kris pay for all of it that's why Gav is keep on teasing him on something that I can't understand. After that we wander around the gymnasium then we are shock when the staffs of jail booth went to arrest us. "Wait, why are you arresting us?" I ask them curiously. "You guys step on our trap that's why we will detain you on our jail booth for an hour" he said at us.
"Arrgh Kev, why didn't you tell us about the trap thingy?" Miks said with full of irritation to Kev. "Oh, I'm sorry besides I don't know where they place the trap and what kind of trap it is" Kev said shyly while scratching his head. "Are we allowed to pay for our friends who are arrested too?" Jenny asks with a brow raise. "Yes, you can" the guy answered. "So can please let us go then Kev and I will pay you for our freedom" Gav said and they pay for all of us.
We went on the fashion designer booth to look on their clothes that they are selling. When we reach there, I'm surprise when someone from the back put a scarf to cover my eyes and abduct me. I think we stop inside the booth and they remove the scarf on my eyes then I saw that they bring me on the marriage booth. They order me to change my clothes to wedding gown and they put a light makeup on my face. Also, they fix my hair quickly and then they lead me to their hall. I saw that Kris is the groom and our friends are their gowns and tuxedo.
They inform us that we can't back out and oppose besides it's just a fake marriage so I agree. The one who acts as a priest is a senior accounting student and the amusing part is that their props are complete. The ceremony is just short because there are some in a relationship student who wants to bind their love with the fake marriage. Students who want to experience to be married with their crush and they have long lines of students who want to experience it. I think the mastermind of this was our friends and Arch belongs here in this booth.
There are a lot of students watching the ceremony and we notice that our friends are recording a video until the ceremony was done. The ring that they giving to the 'fake' married couple is cute then I find out that my friends paid the ring. There is also a pictorial after the ceremony and before we change our clothes they made us to sign a fake marriage certificate. They give us a copy of it then we went to our booth to eat snacks.
They chose to bought some Filipino delicacies such as puto cheese, bibingka, puto bungbong, cassava cake, ube banana langka roll, camote cue, and maruya as a merienda. For the drinks they chose buko pandan juice, coconut shake, mais con yelo, melon juice, papaya shake, fresh mango drink at milky melon sago. I'm glad that they choose our booth among the others who serves International cuisines and then I ask them on what they can say about the foods. "The bibingka and puto cheese is so delicious. Are you ready to have a lots of order to these delicious delicacies?" Miks asks me. "Oh, sorry but I don't have time to make some orders. Though I can teach you if you want" I answered with a smile. "Yeah, can I hire you as my teacher who will teach me how cook" Miks said with a smile. "I will teach for free whenever I'm available" I said with a genuine smile. "Wow! I join on your tutorial" Jenny said with a giggle while jumping.
"Does our house will be venue of our tutorial?" Miks asks me. "Yes, because you know we can't do it on our home" I said shyly. "When it will be happening so we can volunteer to criticize the food you will cook?" Arch ask the three of us. "It depends when Lou is available to teach us how to cook" Miks said with a smile. "We can start on this week when they don't have a game" I said a bit hesitant. "Sure, the delicacies that I want to learn first, are the merienda that your booth is serving" Jenny said with an excited smile.
"Yeah, the foods and drinks are taste delicious. You can notice that the ingredients of the foods and drinks are so fresh" Gio said. "Yeah we really want to know how to do it" Miks said full of curiosity. "Does your booth will serve different dishes tomorrow?" Gav asks me. "Yes, for tomorrow we will serve street foods as a merienda like fishball, kwek-kwek, kikiam, banana cue, siomai, cheese stick, french fries, banana chips, barbeque, and many more" I said with a smile. "Does that mean everyday your booth will serve different delicacies?" Kris asked. "Yes, because we want to introduce all Filipino foods if there's a chance" I said with a smile. "Wow! That's a great opportunity to all of us, to have a chance to taste the different Filipino foods every day. It's like we have a food trip to every province here in the Philippines" Kev said amused. "Food trip on their booth every day. So ready your cold cash guys" Arch said with a smile.
