"The winner is..."(drum roll sound).
"I proudly announce The winner is Miss Mia. Congratulations!"
The crowd applause deafening the hall.
Really? I win? Seriously?
Her bigger eyes can't be any more bigger but nevertheless still twinkle with the unexpected win.
She jumping happily and the applause getting louder. The handsome emcee that looks a bit like Sebastian from Black Blutler comes approaching Mia. Oh my, what a handsome guy. Mia glanced at the nametag that pinned on his suit which written as Sebastian.
He smiled showing his pearly perfect white teeth, and stretch out his hand.
"My lady lets me escort you to receive you prize."
This sound like a dream come true! Mia giggle in her heart inwardly but try her d*amndest to appear outwardly calm totally and definitely forgotten that she just squeaking jump like monkey earlier.
Walking at red carpet that appear out of nowhere, Mia looking at the front towards the main stage, but she cannot help herself from frowning. Sebastian who walking beside her notice and asking away.
"My lady, what is your concern? Do tell this humble servant."
"Erm, what is the name of this contest again?"
"My lady is sure is teasing this servant. My lady just win Miss Nuggets Contest and wining it splendidly I might said."
Huh? Nuggets?
She looks down anaylizing her dress. But I wear historical gown clothes though. Even her sleeves is full of laces.
Did I hear wrong?
"Can you repeat this again?"
"This is Miss Nuggets Contest, my fair lady."
"Did I eat the most nuggets compared to others?"
"Of course not, its determines whoever draw the nuggest in most unique way!"
Sebastian can not hold the pride when he utter this sentence.
Huh?
"Is this for real?" Mia really cannot comprehend the head or the tail of this conversation at all.
"Sure you, my lady are, everyone draw almost the same way and the similar shape. But my lady masterpiece is absolutely in unrival category. Such a brilliant lady you are, my lady! "
"I am?"
"Of course, not to mention the fastest one to complete it too. Very outstanding! Our judge very impressed while you working on it and I do share his sentiment!"
"I know its presumptious of us, but would you my fair lady granted our request to be apart the masterpiece for us to keep as a momento?"
"Eh? Erm, sure? If you insist?"
How delightful! That will be our greatest honour!
"Apart from the grand price of USD 1 Million , we also give you a special banquet just for you."
"1 million USD?"
Ka-ching! I am rich hahaha.
"Thank you. Do you mind if I have one last look of my artwork?"
"Sure my lady, this way, please."
Sebastian lead Mia into one corner that has a lot painting display. Mia looking each side of walk path that show funny shapes of nuggets in brilliant color of watercolour and some from oil paints, but it was arrange to be a background pieces and it somehow the audience gaze to concentrate at the most at front pieces.
Getting closer Mia can distinguish some shape of triangle, drumstick with two main color, red and black.
Her nose twitching, she smell something familiar. Getting closer, she looks deeper and even shockingly took a step back!
Wow, what a bizarre artwork. This is the most laziest work that has been done by a nonsense painter. Truly wasting the pristine white canvas.
This obviously done by scammer. The painter just dipped the nuggets a bit deeply that enough to left behind a bit of uneven smear dark red tomato ketchup leaving shape triangle and drumstick at random space within the canvas. and to make it contrast, another new pieces of triangle and drumstick shape dip it with black soy sauce and scattered to serve as the background of the red ketchup. It's look like five minutes work!
"Eh, this one sure different from others.
Did you said earlier, the winner piece also happen to be the fastest artwork been complete?"
"Indeed I say so earlier".
"This is my work??"
Gulp! Mia swallow her own spit.
I better grab the cash and run now!
"Where is the prize? Can I take it now? I suddenly remember I have a tea appointment with Lord Phantom and must take a leave now. I am almost late now!"
"Sure, but first let me lead you to our special banquet just at the next door. Please come this way."
This time Mia swallow her saliva again but with different feeling. Looking at very long table, she only can see a lot of appetizing food.
Potatoes Gratin Fries, rice pilaf, Mabo tofu, beef stew, meat pies, Carpaccio and fried rice, fried chicken, salad, some scones, Korean barbeque, Tom Yam Gung, mango ice cream , dim sum, dango stick even takoyaki? Yummy!
Twack!
Oww! Who dare hit my bum just now!!
----------
4 minutes earlier inside a rooms that resemble pigstay room in certain grand house.
A young boy wearing schools uniform standing at her bedside.
"Hey shorty wake up!"
Mia who lay down wearing a long sleeve and longs pants keeps drooling on her pillow.
Looking she still doesn't have any reaction even after raising his voice a couple of times, truly grating his nerve.
Mia trying to find another comfortable position and turn and hug her bolster and this making one of her check butt rose higher from the other one.
This brat truly asking for a spank. He gritted his teeth, he open his claw widely and slap on the higher check that he view as an act of mocking him without any mercy.
Slap!
Ppppprrrrrrrt !
And the sound comes accompanied with its own unique "heavenly" smell.
Oh gosh!! What does she eat last night??
Coughing he try escape as fast he can to save his sanity and not make his nostril damage any further. One second time is what he took to take to escape but enough to torture him, making his face getting pale due his nose sensitivity.
Mia woke up screaming in pain, sitting confused and rubbing the butt area. She looks around but doesn't notice anything wrong apart from the pain at her butt.
Oowww, its freaking hurt! What the heck happen just now?
She glanced at alarm clock on her side table.
All sleepiness runs away.
Crap, its 7 am and this is our first day at new school too! I am in a big trouble!
2O Minutes later,
Mia rushing fom the starirs when her mobile phones keeps ringing.
She tries rearranging her hair to make it neater and shouted while running down the stairs.
"I am coming. I am coming".
When she reaches the door, she flicks down the main switch and everything inside the house going dark. And unfortunately even outside too.
Why it's so dark? She pulls out her phone to check the time, rubbing her eyes and looked down again. Nope, the clock number remains unchanged. Mia glared up and shouted angrily at the tall guy who waiting for her at the main gate.
Despite her strain neck to show her prowess against a very tall young man, sadly the effect she wants to reach isn't achievable. Her head doesn't even reach his chest and making her stance more awkward with both hands half bent resting at her waists.
The young man tries to hide his laugh and Mia didn't notice at all due to dark surrounding her. She keeps glaring and with a high voice but not loud enough to disturtheir neighbourrr she scolded him.
"It's freaking 5 am! Boss, I want to go to school at a normal time, please!"
