The next day I was lazy to go in.I was planning to be absent today because I still didn't get enough sleep last night. Unfortunately, I was awake last night thinking about that handsome guy. He won't disappear from my mind or maybe I already like him.
Wait, how come I like him eh we only met yesterday. What is that 'Love at first sight'? Tsk, there's nothing like that, it doesn't seem to be true.
Just in time,Calli came and ruined my beautiful sleep. Alas, my beautiful sister was still carrying a watering can, maybe it will throw me out again.
Her plan fails because I'm awake. I just used the water on him, that's a punishment for him not listening to my story last night, I must have slept. I took a shower and got dressed. As usual, I'm wearing our school uniform now .Hmm, our uniform is nice, in case it's too tight. Maybe we don't have enough pompoms to be cheerleaders.
I also hurried to eat because I might be late now. I'll pay our treasurer the fines again. I'm already budgeting my money and I'll add more to the bill.
"Eat a lot there Zyrah" Ate said
"Yes, you know your sister is dead hungry"
"You really like to joke" he said
"By the way, aren't you dressed yet Calli? Aren't you coming in for school now?" I asked
"Ah... eh ...I'm sick "she stammered
"You're sick? But ypu look okay Calli. What's the real reason you're not coming in?"
She took a deep breath first and spoke.
"I will look for a job"
"WHAT!? Didn't Mama and Papa say that we should focus on our studies first"
"Zyrah, you don't understand. We already have a lot of school fees. We're not kids anymore.You're in fourth year high school and I'm in third year college while Kyle is in his second year of high school. We need money so we can study "
"Mama and Papa are sending us money, are you still going to work?" My tone of voice rose a bit because I'm not really in favor of the idea that my sister is working
"Because we don't have enough money. What about our projects? We'll rely on Mama and Papa again. Do you know that they're having a hard time working for us? I just want to help" she cried and said.
" I'll report you to Mama as well as to Papa "
"No! Don't Zyrah, please let's just keep it a secret. I'll help you, I'll give you money for your projects, please"she said
"Okay go ahead as long as you're careful.Even if you got a job, you still have to study. You can only get a part time job Calli"
"Of course I won't neglect my studies. Oh go ahead, you might be late"
"You're my sister, you're still crying" I said in a voice that was a bit preaching
"If you just allowed me, I wouldn't be crying here HAHAHA"
"All right, I'm leaving sister bye!!" I said while running out of the house. I went straight to the corner and there was a taxi parked.
Even if I only have a little money, your favorite girl had no choice because I'm late.
"Hello!To the nearby high school"I said to the driver
So that's how he drove to my school. I thought our driver wasn't talkative in case I was wrong
"Are you sure you're studying there? At Huffle Ford High School?" He asked in astonishment
"Yes, isn't it obvious? Are you sure you're just a taxi driver? Because you look like a reporter, you have a tendency to gossip"
"You're serious lady, I'm just asking."
"You can ask that question, it doesn't help. Just drive, maybe your cute passenger will be late" I'm really sorry in that case, I'm not in the mood to gossip with you right now because I'll be angry with my teacher again.
After he delivered me, I already paid my fare.The driver even said that I didn't pay enough, but I also told him that I paid correctly, because he was talkative, so I reduced the money to pay him.I did an excuse just to get rid of him.
And speaking of excuses, what can I do to excuse the teacher. Our first subject teacher is still ill today.
I hurried to my classroom. I had some students who were upset but I told them I had to get to class now. And when I got there my classmates were starstruck again.
"You thought you saw an actress?Hello it's just me your cute best friend"
"Zyrah, are you just now?" Arnica Nicole Alferes asked me
"Ah eh you left me yesterday didn't you?"
"That's not our issue. Do you know English Culmination now? Where's your costume you're not wearing yet?" Keisha Joyce Cuevas asked next.
"How many Q&A questions do you have? You didn't even inform me"
"There's no time for us to fool around. Zyrah, put on your costume, the contest is starting" said Arnica
Of course I forgot, English Culmination is now and we have to wear fictional character costumes and so on.
"I'm not wearing a costume"
"WHAT! ?" they said together
"Ops, just chill, I won't come, just come first."
"Hey do you know there's a plus grade points to those students who wear costume now Zyrah and you're the classroom president.You should also be dressed so as not to tarnish the image of Grade 10-A" Keisha preached
"Of course we don't want to leave you here either, maybe you'll succeed" Arnica said
"Well, your sweet case, you still left me here yesterday"
"That's enough chatter. Let's just find what you can wear" Keisha said
"Let's just buy at the Mall, I still have money, eh"
"Will the guard let us out? You saw our guard's stomach was swollen. "he said sarcastically
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" I couldn't stop my laughter. It's like Keisha is very insulting when she speaks but the tone of her speech is funnier
"I know, let's just borrow a costume from Miss Chen, isn't that nice, it's definitely also the coordinator of the theater club" Arnica suggested
We walked and went to Miss Chen's office. We're pretty close to her because she's our Arts teacher and she always cleans us in her office. I think we're already working as her assistants haha
"Good morning to the most beautiful teacher in the world" Arnica greeted
"Oh what else do you need, you're really bubbling me up" said Miss Chen
"Not really. Umm can I ask for a favor? Zyrah doesn't have a costume with her now, we can borrow it from you first" said Keisha
Miss Chen just looked at us, she's sure she's still thinking about our request. Not to mention, but we're also one of the stupid students here at the school. It's not literal but we're really stupid sometimes but we're honor students
"All right, Miss Chen, we'll return it."
"Really? You didn't return my ethnic dress to me after you borrowed it again" said Miss Chen
Yeah we borrowed an ethnic dress from Miss Chen when we had a role play in Filipino but Keisha lost it. She said she forgot where she put it so we just paid for it. I informed Miss Chen then but I didn't wear it. but Arnica then he gave it to Keisha to hide but unfortunately he lost it
"This time we will really give it back to Miss Chen, promise that. All right, I really need you to be beautiful and sexy, maybe you can lend us at least one costume. Aren't you kind, Miss Chen? Have mercy on us specially on me please"I said with matching puppy eyes
Eventhough I look stupid right now,I really need to do this for the sake of my grades and classmates
"Oh this is fine.This oh" she handed me an anime costume at the same time. Miss Chen also has a taste, she knows that anime is my favorite. If I did bring a costume today, the design would definitely be like this.
"Take care of that Zyrah, I just bought it, I probably won't try to wear it yet. Put it on and it looks like the program has started. I'll be with you first" she added
I immediately put on the anime costume that Miss Chen lent me and then Keisha put light make up on my face. I don't want it to be too thick because I'll just look like a clown. I don't do make up, but this is Keisha who struggles because she's a freelance make up artist.
Arnica chose the shoes for me to wear. She likes to collect shoes here and abroad, so I'm not surprised that she has good taste. when it comes to shoes.
After they fixed me, I looked at myself in the mirror. My cuteness still doesn't change. We went to the stage and they were right in their suspicion that the program had already started. There were winners in front, best in fairy tale costumes, best in anime costumes and more.But something caught my attention. This is the man in the middle of the stage. His face looks familiar. I feel like I've seen him but I just can't remember when. I was still staring at the man when he suddenly waved in front of me. not Arnica
"Hey Zyrah are you listening?You're been calling to the stage" said Arnica
"Huh why?"
"I think you've been stunned there before" Arnica said again and her face palm was beautiful
"Because Ma'am Alvez, our class adviser, is gone. Since you are the class president, you will pin the sash on Dexie because she won our section" said Keisha
I hurried up to the stage. Am I starstruck with that man? And here is Dexie and the man I was looking at side by side and I realized that my older brother was decent. He was the one I talked to yesterday.What a coincidence!
"Congrats Dexie! You're beautiful now, what you're wearing is just right for you"
"Thank you Miss President"she said while smiling at me.
"Don't you call me Miss President anymore,Just call me Zyrah it's just that we don't seem to have anything in common haha "
"All right Zyrah, oh hi Miss Chen" she said and I turned to the side and Miss Chen was there and was currently pinning the guy's sash. They were talking so while I was standing on the side I first listened to their agenda.
"Miss Chen, isn't it only the class adviser and classroom president who can pin the sash?" the guy asked decently
"Yes why did you ask? " Miss Chen replied
"Eh why is she here" my decent guy said while pointing at me "She's definitely not a teacher and it looks like he's not a class president look at her she's very stupid" he added
I couldn't control myself anymore and I confronted him.
"Wow, I'm ashamed of you, you think you're the handsome one you're wearing now" I stopped for a moment and he glanced from head to toe "Well you're really handsome just a little bit but your attitude is the opposite.You don't know me so don't judge. You're too much of a judge "I said annoyed
"Don't assume toouch girl.How can you say that I'm referring to you" he said
"Obviously, you even taught me before. Wait, what's your problem with me" Because based on your attitude yesterday and today, I seem to have really proven that you are not deserving of your position as class president" proudly said my decent brother
"Dos, Zyrah that's right. The students are looking at us oh" said Miss Chen
And he was right, almost all the students were staring at us. It was as if they had witnessed a debate or maybe a parody.
"And another Dos, Zyrah just looks like a local but she's smart" said Miss Chen
Ah Dos is the decent guy's name. His name is weird. Maybe it was conceived with money. It looks like money
I just stared at him. It's a pity he's still handsome, he just doesn't like the behavior
"All students and teachers please proceed to your respective classrooms and offices.This program had been finished.Thank you for your cooperation and Congratulations to the winner.That's all good day Huffle Fordians" said the emcee of the program
I went down to the stage with Dexie. Arnica and Keisha met us with their arms crossed. What is the problem with these?
"Who's your boyfriend?" Keisha asked
"Maybe you crush it or maybe it's a long time bestfriend. Will you leave us Zyrah?" Said Arnica"What are you, I don't even know that man"
"But why do you and Dos look so close?" Dexie asked again
"We're close? Duhh in a dream maybe it's still possible. Did you see him before, he's really arrogant"
"Wait do you know her Dexie?" Keisha said and turned to Dexie
"Of course he was with me in the dance guild I joined" he replied
"Ahh that's right, let's go" Arnica said
"Just wait because I left the headdress I'm wearing. I'll just come back, wait for me"
As soon as I put them on, something came up in my napa poging man and I realized that he was Dos who was arrogant and ugly
I would have passed him in case he blocked me. There are as many students here now and Dos and I are crowded with them. It's hard to move because my body and his body are really close one wrong move and I might sink into his handsome face which is the opposite of his habit
Dos and I also stared at each other for a few minutes. He was really handsome, especially his puffy eyes that seemed to be talking and conveying a message.
I was captivated by his dazzling eyes that shines like stars in the sky. I've been fascinated by his pellucid face and mesmerizing cheeks and lips.I wish I would get closer to see those beauty in it.
It was like the world had stop revolving and just the two of us were left behind
Wait, am I fluent in English? I think my brain is working now ..
But why?
