Chereads / SOPHIA / Chapter 43 - Arrival (3)

Chapter 43 - Arrival (3)

The first person to give a presentation was a cute girl her topic was about the "planet". She wore a costume with painting on her face, making her look like earth! She was so cute that everyone gave her a sounding applause.

Sophia turned to little tim; what's your topic?

"Science" he replied proudly!

Well that's more suitable for you! I can't even imagine you talking about fashion. Little tim try to loosen up a bit and use simpler terms so that others can understand.

She quickly opened her phone and played a video for him. "It was a program on DIY sci". Look science can be fun too, you just have to know your audience and the language they better understand okay?.

Mn. I'll try! He scrolled through her phone especially her photos. He saw many pictures she never posted. Can I get these pictures?

Sophia thought about it for a while before deciding to make a deal with him. ''If you loosen up a bit this time then you can send as many as you want''! What do you say?.

Deal! He was determined to collect a lot of photos.

The parents were so happy as they watched their kids perform, it was obvious cuz they were smiling and bragging about their children's ability. As the time quickly went by lots of kids had presented their topics.

The next person was charles! His presentation was on "fashion". He slowly unbuttoned his suit and then turned to sophia giving her a wink before going up.

He was like an MC right now! He smiled and introduced himself. Then he began his presentation. His movement were so smooth that everyone's eyes were glued to him. He even brought his family's latest design and it was completely sold out.

Finally! Fashion is a form of self-expression and autonomy at a particular period and place and in a specific context, of clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body posture. In its everyday use.

thank you! He walked and then pursed he turned smiled and winked.

Ah ah ah ah ....... The little girls screamed. Sophia and charles sisters that were sitting by the corner rolled their eyes. This little guy just likes attention. They had to close their ears.

He walked majestically to his seat. How did I do bruh! He stood before timothy with twinkling eyes.

Not bad! Timothy slightly glanced at him before lowering his head to continue looking at Sophia's photos.

After calming the crowd; the next contestant was called out. Timothy got up and turned to sophia. Sophia sighed as they both stared at each other.

She ruffled his hair making him look different. Take off your suit! She folded his shirt, took of his tie and loosen some buttons.

Little tim looked completely different in few seconds. He walked towards the podium with his head raised with pride. He gave the flash to the tech guy and started his presentation.

Sophia held her breath as she watched his every move. His cute voice was heard as the auditorium was very quiet. He was a bit different from how he was when she watched the video.

Although he looked like he was communicating with people with low IQ! He still tried to use simple english so that everyone could understand.

Pfft..... Sophia giggled as she took cute pics while he gave his speech.

"In conclusion science is essential in every aspect of life, health care! Fashion! Business! Sports! Education!... So it's importance cannot be over emphasised. Thank you!"

Yeah! Sophia quickly stood up and screamed, others joined her and clapped as the little guy walked to his seat.

She picked him up and gave him a light peck on his cheek! You did great little tim, I'm so proud of you!

Thanks auntie sophia! His face was as red as a tomato.

After a while, the next person was called up! She walked up the stage with an intimidating aura, there was obviously no trace of tension around her. She wore a black suit with a her packed in a cute ponytail.

"Hello everyone my name is amber! I'm here to talk about business....!

She was so stern that everyone felt intimidated as she spoke. Two kids in front played as she spoke. She looked at them smiled and continued speaking. Then she slowly walked down the podium and stood before them.

''You see this is how the world of business works...!. She took the toy from them dropped it on the ground and then stepped on it.

If you aren't serious you'll be crushed! The boys shivered as they stared at her, then she walked back to the stage and continued her speech!.

Few minutes later she concluded her presentation! Her gaze swept across the crowd and landed on a girl with two cuties by her side. They weren't paying attention on her rather they were giggling as they looked at their phones.

Her blood boiled as she stared at the scene, she stared at sophia with an evil intent. As though she could feel someone's gaze on her, sophia raised her head and stared at her.

She was stunned that sophia was unfazed; instead she was the one that felt untold pressure. She quickly looked away. She bowed and gave a stiff smile, turned and walked back to her seat.

....

Calm down little one! You almost killed someone! Tell me who made you so upset that you almost exposed your self eh? A sinister voice spoke into her ears immediately she sat down.

She shivered as his face was to close to hers! She quickly pointed to sophia. He looked at where she pointed and saw sophia talking with the guys.

Don't worry little sis! I'll take care of her for you. He smiled deviously and rubbed her hair. Amber felt all the hairs in her body rise, as he laughed. She couldn't even imagine what would happen to sophia.

Sophia felt something off with that girl Amber! the way she looked at her was weird. I haven't seen her before, I haven't offended her so why is she looking at me as though I took something from her.

What's wrong! Charles asked she mumbled words they couldn't hear.

What's up with that girl amber? She gave me a weird look just now. Did I offend her in anyway?

Yup you did! She's very very weird, well there are things I can't say here but I think I know why she's acting that way towards you! It's called jealousy!

Jealousy what's she jealous of? I don't even know her. She's too young for me to say maybe I stole her man or something!

But you did! Timothy is her man. She hasn't seen tim so intimate with someone before and all of a sudden a beautiful girl, so enchanting like a rose flower suddenly appeared. How do you think she feels?

Actually she's not the only one, every other girl here have their grudge against you, because you're close to the two kings of this school.

'..!! Sophia was speechless! Are you guys really five years old?. Anyway what's the next competition gonna be about?

Oh! It's a talent show, you'll get to shake what your mama gave you! He grinned.

Sophia rolled her eyes. So what's your talent?

Charles and timothy signed simultaneously! We ain't got nothing! My sis invited some of her friends over and somehow my song and dance moves got stolen and registered. So now I don't have anything to present.

What about you tim? I didn't prepare anything so we sitting this one out.

Sophia stared at the little guys and then thought about what to do... Even though the had high scores in the other tasks, they had to participate in everything to have better chances of winning the competition.

Yes I got it! Both you come over. They titled their heads closer to her. Do you guys know this song? It was a short anime video clip that was popular some yrs ago.

Yes we do! That's good then let's perform this together what do you guys say. Parents/ guardians are allowed to participate right?

Charles left his little mouth open as he looked at sophia, tim had a frown on his face. She caressed his hair, don't worry I'll dance with you guys so you'll be fine, I'll help you so just follow my lead okay.

.....

The last segment began with a little ballet dancer! Slow music began playing, the lights went dim and then the spot light shone on her.

She began her performance in a very slow pace, she moved like a swan with a bright smile on her face as she moved. She looked so pretty and fragile.

Soon it was over, everyone cheered for her as they clapped hard.

The next was a dance performance by some guys, they dressed like K-pop stars but apparently they didn't move like them. They made so many mistakes but the parents found it cute and they took pictures and made videos.

Some people even made memes out of the performance; Expectation vs Reality.

Next a girl came out with her mum the were a little over dressed. When the music started they quickly tore their clothes, they were left with little clothing.

As if that wasn't enough, the dance moves were a little inappropriate for the event. Sophia had to cover their eyes so they won't see such a disturbing scene.

Is this appropriate? She asked as continued to cover their eyes.

Well mabel's family have invested a lot in this school so apparently, they are allowed to destroy our eyes with nonsense.

After what looked like eternity they finally finished, everyone could only give awkward smiles and claps because they were very uncomfortable with the scene that just played out before them.

Five more children had to perform before it would be their turn. Some kids joined forces while some didn't participate at all.

Sophia opened her bag and brought out some simple sneakers, she passed one to timothy then she took off her heels and put on hers. Charles was already wearing something simple so they didn't worry about him.

Let's go to the changing room to perfect our act he suggested! They agreed and went over. It wasn't easy but they managed to get some moves correctly.

There was one more act before their turn so they the passed the song over to the tech guy as they waited for the group to finish their performance.

Sophia turned to timothy, do you really wanna do this? She knew he had an a reputation to keep, so she didn't want to ruin it.

It's fine I don't care about that anymore! He smiled, let's win this competition.

Okay! they practiced a little again and finally they were called to the stage.

Everyone's eye was clearly on them, they just couldn't believe that timothy actually agreed to dance! It is was the most anticipated performance ever.

Sophia stood behind them as the music started playing. One two three... They danced like the anime character.

There was a moment of silence.. after that came screams especially from guys.... ah..ah hahahah.... They just couldn't believe it. Every child( the ones that watched anime) knew that song and dance. at the end of the episode the character would run out and start dancing.

Everyone loved it, it became so popular that it won many awards. Sophia smiled all through as they danced in unison.

Timothy was a little stiff in the beginning but after a while, he started getting the hang of it! Charles on the other hand added some extra moves making the crowd scream.

They looked so beautiful as they danced together. Many people made videos and took lots of pictures. Even if they knew they may be asked to delete it later.

Sophia smiled and moved forward then she made gestures at kids, inviting them to come on stage. Some were a bit skeptical, while some immediately ran over to dance with them.

The environment became cooler and the hostility disappeared. They all forgot they were competing and enjoyed themselves.

Boom...

Amber jumped as her brothers phone fell to the ground. He didn't move at all as he stared at sophia as though he had seen a ghost.

What's wrong?

He smirked, I have finally found her after all these years! His eyes glistened as he stared at her.
