This week is the fashion exhibition I'm competing for . Gosh !! I'm fucking nervous and I'm sure if I should win , this will be a step to success and connections but I'm really nervous I need someone to talk to , someone to assure me I can do it but who can I turn to ? I was lost thinking that I didn't notice someone was beside me .
"Ahem" you're looking worried 'need help ? And I'm Jayden by the way . I looked over ,but was surprised i didn't notice someone approaching and I came back to the reality when I heard the introduction . Hi , I'm Lillian " I said to him . You look lost anything bothering you care to share ." He asked me . And I don't know if I can pour out my heart to him cause I'm not sure I can share my problem with a total stranger . I'm sure he noticed I was contemplating if I should cause he told me not to worry if I don't feel like.
Like I said I'm Jayden by name and I'm in year 3 and my major course is design and my minor course is music . I know you're wondering how I can study two courses here , the thing is I've always have a passion for music but I can't study that . I need to do what my parent said I should even though I never liked it. Oops!! I need to start going whenever you're ready to talk you can find me .
I wanted to stop him from going but I don't have the courage to do such , when he's talking to me ,I noticed sadness etched on his face as if there's consequences if he doesn't do what is parent told him and I started to feel worried for him but I have my problem I'm bothered with . I started regretting not telling him what I'm worried about . Then I made up my mind to find him .
I carried my book then went off to where year three do have their class . Hey please !! I'm looking for Jayden . " I asked a random girl . But she told me she doesn't know the person I was talking about so I walked away trying to cool my head off I stumbled to a garden . The garden looks so beautiful with different flowers planted accordingly . The garden looks exactly like a fairy home with blue crystal clear stream flowing . Beautiful birds chirping around , different beautiful butterflies flying around , then I spotted Jayden beside an orchid flower playing guitar . I stood there in trance reminiscing about my childhood days . I sat beside him watching him channeling all his emotions to the tune.
I clapped for him when he finished playing the tune . That's a beautiful " I told him . Thank you !! Are you ready to tell me now ."he asked me . Yup …..the thing is I'm nervous about the fashion exhibition I'm competing for cause I don't know my competitors and I'm not sure I can do it . I poured my heart to him and I felt relieved immediately that made me remember the words my mother do tell me whenever I'm feeling bothered " problem shared is half solved " do you think I'm pathetic ." I asked him .
Nope ... You're not "he told me . Do you have faith in yourself at all he asked me but I don't know how to answer his questions . Then he continued his speech .
If you believe you can do something you'll surely do it , you don't have to worry yourself about lesser things , if you're sure about what you want to project out for people and you're sure it will captivate the audience and the judges you'll surely win so Lilly you don't have to fidget . Hmmm!!!! I sighed . Thank you for the advice and I'd love to see you around and I waved at him before rushing back to my dormitory . I won't lie the advice and the garden gave me inspiration so when I got back to my dormitory I took my book then began sketching the design that dropped into my mind . Once I'm done sketching I was surprised about the aura it's giving and I can picture how it will look like once I'm done making it . Oh gosh!!!! I can't wait .
******************
Today is the D-day for the fashion exhibition and I'm done with the final product and I won't lie the dress is enchanting . I really owe Jayden one for this hadn't been I didn't go to the garden I don't think I can get inspiration .
I'm at the backstage waiting for my turn and oops.... We are six competitors , two candidates for each year Except year one . That's Three guys and three ladies . And I'm the last contestants. They arrange it in a decending manner . From the fourth year to the second year that makes me the last candidate contesting .
I used a white fabric , it is a long dress with a slit at the front , it is a backless dress with a cow neckline, I designed the dress by embedding gold beads with a cluster look . The beads compliment the dress giving it an elegant and sophisticated look and I added two pairs of white gloves . I pray I win this competition . And boom ... It's my turn . I carried myself with elegance although I'm fidgeting inside on the stage . I introduced myself to the judges before showing my design . And I heard a loud gasped among the audience and the judges and that put a smile on my face and my courage came back to me in full force . I named my design "HARMONY" . After my speech , I notice my words was laced with confidence . I was given a standing ovation . One of the judges asked what inspire me . And I couldn't help smiling about how I got my inspiration . I told her about the garden , the music and lovely flower , flowing stream , butterflies and colorful birds working together making the garden look beautiful .
Woow !!! That's creative and lovely ." One of the judges said to me .
I went to the backstage . Then we were instructed to go back to the stage so they can announce the winner in both male and female .
