CHAPTER 35
FOUNDATION DAY 6
Mikaela
It's already 4pm in the afternoon we're still here in the university to watch the battle of the bands. We choose to sit on the bleachers rather than on the crowded place with a lot of people in the middle part of the gymnasium. I'm happy for my little brother because it's my first time to see him this happy whenever he is with Lou. Before, I rarely saw him smile or laugh without carefree but since he met her, he changes big time though in a good way. It may sound funny that we notice how change though he didn't even notice it. He's so sweet to Lou and he's not that sweet to me and to our mom. I never thought that he can be this sweet and caring with her maybe because I know in the first place she caught his attention since high school when she saw her playing volleyball for intramurals. I know since then that he always looks her though she seems oblivious. He wraps his jacket over her shoulder and she just smile sweetly at him.
"Are ready guys?" the emcee asked us with the smile. "yeeessss" the crowd screams so loud. "Now, let the battle of the bands begin! Our first contestant from IT department the 'Archer's Band' "the emcee said energetically. The band show off with a three girls and four boys wherein the three ladies play the organ, guitar and other one is a vocalist. It's so amazing on how they play their instrument so well and how they sang the songs, and how their cold voice is a music to my ears. Their drummer is so cool that you can feel his passion for music and the one who plays organ is so amazing because she keeps on playing the organ while her eyes are close and she didn't even have played a wrong key note. While the girl guitarist is so cool while she plays on her electric guitar like a rock star. After they perform three songs the next band show off in an instant from accounting department known as the Safe Haven Band and it was an all-girl group consisting of four people.
I never thought that watching the battle of the bands is kind of fun. My first impression with this kind of contest is a boring one but this event proves me wrong. That's why I'm looking forward to a watch a live concert of my favorite band and be a fan girl at times. Watching a band with an all-girl group is so cool now I'm envious to those people having a talent in singing and playing music instrument. The next band came from entrepreneurship department the 'The Zeus Band' which consist of the most popular guys here in the university. They are the same year as with me and Jenny and they are known to be the playboys, good in soccer, student council officers, talented and genius for being constant dean lister's. Like they always said, nobody's perfect because regardless of their good standing on academics and extra-curricular activities, they still give a headache to our professors because of the women's catfights every day because of them. That's one of the reason why I'm turned off with them because they are such a playboy and a heart breaker.
When they start to sing a lot of people screams for them their fans and admirers besides, according to the news that I've heard their lockers are always full of love letters every day. As in every month, they have a new girlfriend that's the longest duration, relationship for a month and their girlfriends most of the time came from different universities. The name of their band came from the acronym of the names T for Tyron Montemayor, H for Hiro Takamura, E for Ethan Collins, Z for Zack Nathaniel Scott, E for Ezekiel Montenegro, U for Uriel Brent Riego and S for Saul Archie Yu. When Zack 'the leader of the band' starts to sing the perfect strangers a lot of people screams so loud and some of them got hysterical when he got out of the stage to come here at the bleachers holding a box of Ferrero. Until he went in front of us and hand over the chocolate at me yet I just look at the box of chocolate and look at him again. Truth to be told, I don't know if I'll accept the chocolate or not then, he looks at my brother who's looking blankly at him. There's a lot of people whose shock when the music stops and he talk. "Can I get a permission to you to court your sister?" he asked my brother seriously which glared at him.
"How can I be sure that you are serious with my sister? Besides, what will you do if I won't allow you?" my brother asks coldly. This is kind of embarrassing, him asking permission from my brother in front of everybody. "I'll ask permission from your parents too and if you won't allow me, I won't give up. I'll fight my feelings for her" he said seriously and hand me the chocolate for the second time. "You'll better be serious with her or else you'll be dead. Hurt her and I will kill you" my brother said in a threatening voice then he nods and tap my brother's shoulder and said his thanks. I sigh before I accept it because I don't know what to feel because it's the first time that I will have a suitor who asks a permission from my brother first. After that, he went up to stage to resume to sing the song and then, Hiro, his best friend starts to sing magandang dilag which also come down the stage holding 3 red roses and went to our direction. I really don't know; what's these best buds trip to do this thing because we all know that it's not their thing to do this publicly and we all know that they don't do courtship.
He went to Jenny and hold her hand to kiss it while Jenny is so shock and speechless. Then, he faces Gav and tap his shoulder like they are so close like his best friend he also asks permission to court Jenny. "Can I court your gorgeous sister?" Hiro asks that makes Gav to glare at him and be irritated. "Tss, you should work hard for our trust before you can court my sister. Oh, I have a bright idea, do you know how the courtship in the province works?" Gav said with a grin on his face and look at him with a dangerous smirk. "Yeah I know, when can I ask permission to your parents?" Hiro asks seriously and smile at Jenny, who only frown at him.
"Tss, it's up to you, when you are ready to face our parents, just tell us" Gav said while looking at Hiro with a threatening gaze. "Thanks bro, if it's okay it will be tomorrow night on your mansion" Hiro said and tap his shoulder that make Gav more irritated. "Don't call me that, you're not my brother and we are not close" Gav said annoyed, then Hiro give the roses to Jenny and she accepted it with a frown on her face. Then, he went back to stage and continue singing the song with a wide smile to their faces like they won a lottery.
