Chapter 96: Our Last School Festival
The school festival ca without problems. Since it’s a two days celebration, the first day will be for the beauty pageant and opening of the booths. The second day is for the awarding and after party for every student in our school.
"Hey, have you guys seen the last canvas for the decorations?" Carla asked the mont I got inside our classroom.
I shook my head as an answer while I roam my vision. Our classroom looks so cozy with all the soft sofas all around near Ryzen’s desk. His paintings were placed on the walls and so of our classmates’ handmade things were placed on the desks on the sides.
"Doesn’t it look great?" Andy said who’s wearing an apron. Everyone’s wearing an apron because we let our guests paint with Ryzen and so of our classmates also paint with them.
"Aren’t you going to prepare for the beauty pageant?" Ace asked as soon as she arrived with a box of newly brought paint. ’Actually, I’m glad I accepted to be the representative in the pageant since I don’t have to do any work in our class.’ "Maris and Carla will be helping you prepare right?"
I nodded. Since I’ll be going to the swimming club’s booth after the pageant, I can’t help with our booth and our booth didn’t need my help so it’s great. "Aron’s bringing the tiara, but he’s still not here," Maris said with her arms crossed.
"What about the shoes? Did you get the perfect fit?"
They talked about my costu again without letting
in. Andy said that it’ll be a surprise to
and I didn’t want to ask about it anymore since it might make
look like I’m excited. "I brought the makeup," Kaoru said while panting. Where did he even get that?
"Is it newly bought?" I asked with a low voice and Kaoru nodded causing my eyes to go wide open. Honestly, grandpa Kenta learned of this pageant and he couldn’t stop himself from supporting
with all his might. Everyone in the mansion knew about it and they said that they’ll watch the pageant. Even Shiho said that it was exciting even though she wouldn’t be able to see
wear that dress.
"Kaoru’s family is really fond of Noelle," Carla said. "They even sponsored the dress. I think we’ll win by default just because of how gorgeous that dress is. It really looks like a dress that ca out of a fairy tale book." She added.
It looks like everyone agreed with that. I guess I’m the only one who hasn’t seen the dress. "The color is a secret. But don’t worry, it’ll suit Noelle perfectly. What will suit a beautiful person? Of course, beautiful things." Maris smiled proudly.
"Uhm, I’m not that pretty."
All eyes were on
after I said that. Maris glared at
with those piercing eyes making
gulp. "Are you being humble right now?" She asked causing
to back away. ’W-What’s with them? They’re scaring .’
"Was getting rejected by your prince turned you into so kind of a humble princess?" Ryzen asked which caused Andy to slap his arm. "Ouch! Why would you do that?"
Andy had this smug look after clearing his throat. "It wasn’t my Ellie who got rejected." He said proudly making
shake my head at him and he just winked at
as if saying that he was handling my secret well. ’It might give
a heart attack soon if this keeps up.’
"Let’s stop talking about that. You should go to the auditorium already to prepare." Ace said and that’s how Maris and Carla pulled
out of the classroom while Kaoru followed us from behind. Everyone’s getting busy with their class’s booth and I think they’re all being cheery despite how tiring it was.
"It’s our last school festival," Carla said as we walk into the hallway. "I hope we can create so fantastic mories together."
I smiled. It’s indeed our last year in high school and soon we’ll be taking different paths in life. "This will be our last, let’s enjoy it." Maris and Carla looked at each other before they smiled at . They led
to the dressing room behind the backstage of the auditorium where the other contestants are also preparing.
"Tsk." I heard Maris click her tongue the mont we got inside.
"Why are you clicking your tongue— geh!" Carla frowned after seeing the reason why Maris clicked her tongue.
"Ugh, why are there peasants here?" When I looked in the direction they were looking, I saw Francesca in a cute devil costu.
"Doesn’t your costu fit you too much? You look like you ascended from hell." Maris said causing the people inside the changing room to fall silent.
The silence broke after the guy sitting on the farthest end of the changing room laughed. "Stop laughing Franklin!" Francesca scread at the guy. That reminds , that guy is the sa guy that took that special examination with
and Francesca. He’s Francesca’s younger brother.
"Why? What this senior said was the truth." Francesca’s younger brother said. "Don’t you think even your classmates hate you? They chose the devil as your character." Franklin chuckled after teasing his older sister. Even so of the contestants couldn’t hide their amusent with what was happening. Aren’t they bullying her at this point?
Maris grabbed my hand, snatching my attention away. "Let’s not focus on her." She said as she gently pulls
towards my seat in front of a mirror. "Now, I’ll be doing your makeup, would that be fine with you?" I don’t know why she would ask my opinion when I know nothing about makeup.
"Don’t turn Noelle into a goth chick like you, please," Carla said which caused Maris to flick her forehead. "Ow! That hurts."
Maris rolled her eyes. "Of course, I know what a princess’s makeup looks like."
Carla pouted. "I know that too. I’m just joking."
After that, Maris starts doing my hair and makeup. She’s really good at it, and I could see that she’s enjoying it. "Does Maris wants to beco a stylist?"
Maris looked at
through the mirror in front of . "I still don’t know." She said as she combed my hair. "But I do think I enjoy doing makeup and styling hair the most so I guess I’ll give it a try." Hearing that made
happy for her. My classmates are all artists and sotis I feel out of place. Am I the only one who has no talents when it cos to arts?
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Carla said as she stood from her seat. "Did you already choose a song to sing? Have you already told Andrei about it?"
I nodded. "Yeah, I told him before and he said he’ll be the one telling it to the committee."
"What song is it?" Carla asked with a smile.
I felt embarrassed being asked like that. I only chose to sing because I’m not good at dancing or acting. "You’ll know later." I’m not good at singing either but Ace and Andy complinted
before when I sang in front of them although it wasn’t on purpose.
"What about your club’s booth? What did you choose to do?" Carla asked as she stared at . I saw her excitent in the mirror. "Are you guys going to do that random ga and the swimming girls are the prizes?"
My face heated up as I nodded. Leslie approved of it, and everyone is allowed to take the chance with our gas. Although I don’t know what kind of gas will they be playing. ’No one would choose
anyway so at this point, I don’t really care. I’ll just be handling the cleanup.’ I thought
"Do you want to tour the school with Night?" Carla asked.
"Why would Night tour the school with that bitch—" Franklin imdiately covered his sister’s mouth.
"I apologize for my sister’s wrongdoings. Don’t worry, I will tell our grandfather about her sins towards you." Franklin said and bowed at . "But let her join this contest. I can’t wait to see her humiliate herself in front of everyone." He added with a sinister smile on his face.
It scares , I’m scared of these siblings. How could they think of sothing terrible about other people? ’It doesn’t make
feel relieved. It makes
worry about Francesca despite the things she did to .’ I thought.
"Forget about those two. They’re really not on good terms." Carla said while shaking her head. "It’s because Francesca’s like that, that’s how her younger brother beca even more sinister than her." She muttered those words directly to my ear making
feel ticklish.
"Stop with the chit-chat and wait for Aron to arrive," Maris said after she was done styling my hair. "I’ll be finishing her makeup so you better get her costu from Andrei. Take Kaoru with you." She told Carla and that’s what they did.
Now that I’m preparing for this, I feel nervous and anxious. There are tons of ’what if’ running inside my mind and I can’t seem to calm down. "Isn’t that Night!?"
