Hell Week Event #2 : Rehearsal

-Xav-

IT WAS ANNOUNCED yesterday evening that this day, will only be a rehearsal day. That's why the 3 of us is now here at the academy's gym to practice our walk. The school also included a ramp instructor for us. Sniper is also here as our class' proxy. The others were downstairs enjoying their time in the school foundation booths. While the 3 of us is here, who are needed to practice.

Bianxi and Vina is along with Quart and Sniper's 2 bestfriend. Up until now, i can't look Quart directly in his eyes because the scene i made yesterday is still flashing behind my mind. I just stared at my opponent. They are really pretty.

Anyways, im wearing a black tight leggings and loose white shirt, i changed into this one because the school gym's aircon is really not getting any colder up until now. My sweat is now invading the sides of my face that's why i changed my outfit immediately. Before the practice started, the ramp instructor demonstrated first the proper walk that is needed to be practiced and the event organizer announce the order of the program's segment that will be held tomorrow.

"So, the flow will be, first is introduction then followed by sports wear then followed by casual wear then talent segment, the fifth will be Q and A and the last one will be coronation" gladly, my mom is super prepared for my pageant and about my talent, its completely done and perfect. The practice is held in the way by alphabetical, the sections with the letter A on it will be the first one to be criticized. We had a letter T on out section name that's why we will be criticized last. We just seated calmly as we watch the others do their walk.

"STAND STILL AND WAIST OUT" I flinched in panic when i heard the ramp instructor shouted. She is really mad but the poise is still in her. I just held Sniper's arm at the moment she shouted again. Terror invaded me.

"Xavantot" he said, well, he just wants to tease me with that boring name. I slightly slapped his arm to alarm him because Quart might hear it. I looked slowly to my right, checking if Quart heard it and i heavily sighed when i knew he doesn't. I can now breathe in peace. I just stared at his long eyelashes when someone shouted once again that made me flinched.

"THERESE!" Oh jeez, its already our turn. Without thinking, i accidentally slap Sniper again, am i feeling close towards him? That made me embarrass. I stood up and the instructor is directly looking towards me, that look made me nervous. As if i want to fart, sweat is working as a fall right now from my temple downwards.

"Hmm, nice posture, ill deal with you later. Boys, heads up" that compliment made me blush all of a sudden. Sniper and Quart is now climbing upstairs to the stage. Quart is not doing anything but his walk makes him look appealing and hot. Ohmy! Im inlove with an angel.

Sniper was the first one to be trained by the instructor, he immediately perfect it, he only consumed 15 mins of the time. The instructor is happy about that. Im really nervous as fuck, im might get shouted by the instructor. Sniper is now followed by Quart.

His hands were on his pocket while walking, as if he was really a runway model. The way he walked added fierce through his human body. He is really hot by the way he walked added by his poker face. Im busy staring when some girls from my back shouted, i just glared at them.

I wanted to shouted at them saying that the boy they were drooling at is mine. I also flinched in surprise when the instructor screamed as well, she is even jumping and blushing. My nose is now smoking hot and i am mad. Quart immediately walked down the stairs at the moment he finished the training. Just like Sniper, he instantly finished the practice.

"You! UP!" the lady said while a poker plastered in her face, her hands were even on her waist as if she was posting. She even pointed at me. Is she starting a fight? If she wants to talk with me and start my training, her face is emotionless. Her face from Quart to me is a rush. I just climbed the stairs until i reached the middle. The height of the stage is staggering me.

"Lets start with the shoes only" she shouted from the bottom of the stage. She doesn't know how i badly want to push her. Such a meanie. I was about to get happy because of her compliment yet she screamed over my baby. And i dont like that.

"Hands on your waist, right foot forward, wherever you were comfortable, right above the other one. Waist out and smile" the she commanded me, as if she was my mom. As if she was really pretty.

"Walk here with poise" she said, i was about to do what she said when i mistakenly placed my foot. I was really distracted by Quart. He is staring at me for goodness sake, im now really blushing hard. Does he love me now?

"AGAIN!" What the actual fuck, i flinched again because of the way she shouted. She even outclass Bianxi and Vina's mega voices. I just started from the beginning until i make my mistake again and again that made me start all over again

"I was wrong about you! You have a nice posture but im still now satisfied on the way you walked. Are you a robot?" she shouted, i just smiled in shyness. I think im now the longest one to practice here on stage. When she shouted, it even made me more embarras.

AFTER FEW PRACTICES i managed to perfect it. Jeez, i practiced almost 1 hour while my co-models only consumed 10 to 15 minutes of the time. I really know nothing about modelling, all i know is to love Quart hehe.

"For the girls who are participating, practice your walk and your posture as well Many girls here have their nice walk but their posture is not participating and in vice versa as well. A famous italian is model is coming tomorrow as your judge and local models as well." i just nodded. Do i even have chances of winning?

"Students! Dismiss" the principal announced. I fetch my bag and opened it up to grab Quart's favorite drink which is gatorade. I am now finding him. My sight was diverted towards the gym's stairs and there he is talking with Yvonne. I hide where i can still able to see them. How did Yvonne managed to get in here? I was shock when they kissed. The bottle of his favorite drink fell. I instantly stood up and ran.

I saw Sniper, as if he was looking for me, without thinking, i hugged him, he saw me crying that's why he immediately pulled me towards the gym storage room. He is now looking at me when i just cried and cried. He caressed my hair. I just mourn in pain. Im so broke and hurt right now. I am always in pain everyday because of Quart. I can no longer prevent myself from weeping.

"Stop" he said, and i just bit my lips to stop myself from crying.

-Sniper-

SHE WAS BACK FACING THE STORAGE DOOR when Quart showed up as i peak through the door's crevice. Right from that moment, i knew he was looking for Xav. He is even holding the bottle of the energy drink that Xav bought earlier. Xav already prevent herself from crying. A worried emotion is plastered on his face while looking for her. He now bypass the storage room.

I pulled Xav's chins upward, her nose was red, her eyes was puffy and swollen because of the large amount of tears she released. Tears are still flowing from here eyes down to her cheeks. I just wiped it off. Since middle school. I already know that she has this feeling towards Raven and i have no rights and i cant stop what she feels.

"Stop it already!" i gave her the weirdest smile ive ever had, even thou i look really ugly in that face, She managed to smile and laugh while tears are still flowing. I know she hate my smile so bad. Before leaving, i handed her my handkerchief before she went home. Her mom ordered me to guard her and thats what i should do.
