Chapter 18 Section Representative
She picked it up and was ready to see what the rice looked like. She closed her eyes and slowly opened the lunch box again, but as she gradually saw the contents, she quickly opened it. Her hand holding the lid was still raised because of the sight.
She smiled and shed a few tears because she thought it was just simple rice. The green peas in the ground pork were formed into a smile, and her stewed ground pork dish was already on the side of the rice. Because the lunch box is so thick and opaque, the contents cannot be seen, so she thought that only rice was inside the lunch box.
Someone take a lunch box from her hand, and she saw William transfer the dish into the lunch box he was also carrying. “I’m still acting here; why did you take it so suddenly, and who said you could split my dish?” she asked stiffly.
William lowered the lunch box.” If you want, take some dishes here in my lunch box. It’s delicious too.”
“Really? You thought it was just you. I must take it too.” And while taking her lunch box. “Wait! Why did you take so much?”
“It’s just your imagination.” William took a dish from what he was carrying and transferred it to Daniella’s lunch box. “We both have the same quantity of dishes, so you might not complain.” And it started eating again.
She saw that the dish given by William was Cordon bleu. “This is such an expensive dish. I can only see it at the big event.” She said and shook her head before starting to eat well.
A few hours passed, and William finished tutoring Daniella again, so they are still leaving the plaza now. Daniella stopped when she came out of the plaza gate. “Be careful when you go home,” she reminded William.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
William just raised his hand as he turned his back on Daniella and started walking away. “I expected that he could ask if he could accompany me home. I was willing.” She didn’t wait for William to disappear from her sight because they had different routes home and she might be late for going home, so she started to walk.
The week went by, and now it was Monday, and Daniella was walking to school again. “I can see the great obstacle again between William and me.” wrinkled while walking to school. In the few days that Charice moved to Daniella’s school, Charice always watched her as if it was the size of her guilt, and so maybe she treated her the same way because William rarely talked to her like me. She is keeping the promise that she is not allowed to talk to William when it is not his tutoring time, but it is inevitable that he will suddenly talk about the lessons, so maybe a lot of things run through Charice’s brain when she and William talk.
As they sat in their chairs, their teacher announced the upcoming program.” Okay student, you know that our school annually has a program and that will be by next month, so I think it’s better to choose the candidate for that event.”
A female student raised her hand. “Excuse me, ma’am, what is the program about?”
” I forgot and didn’t say what that program was. That program is for ladies willing to ramp up and share their talent and beauty with the audience. So if you have a name in your mind, you can now nominate it while raising your hand. Is that clear.”
“Yes ma’am,” the students replied.
Daniella doesn’t seem to care about their teacher’s announcement, and she’s also one of the voters on who’s nominated, so that’s okay with her. Suddenly, a female student stood up. “I nominate Charice Lopez, ma’am.” Then it sat down. Charice smiled because, even though she was a new student, they really knew who should compete in the school pageants.
Bree looked at Daniella and smiled, wanting to do something. It stood up and, without a break, said Daniella’s name. “I nominate Daniella Sanchez, ma’am, for the most beautiful girl in our school.” She smiled and looked at Daniella, who was now gaping at what she had said.
“All right, class, we have two candidates; anyone who wants to nominate again should raise their hand.” Their teacher looked around at the students, but no one raised a hand. “So, all of you think Charice and Daniella can compete in The Most Beautiful Woman at our school? So it won’t take long to start. All of you have to vote for their candidate. They want to compete, just raise your hand. ” The teacher turned around and faced the board and wrote their names.
Daniella approached Bree and pulled her hair slightly. “Hey! You, who said I wanted to join the program? Since the first year of high school, no one has tried to nominate me, not even you, but why now? What went into your head? ” She even widened her eyes.
Bree smirked at her.” Why don’t you? You’re beautiful.” Bree came closer to Daniella’s ear. And then you’re really the one to be a candidate for, rather than our new classmate who’s feeling that she is about to win even though the pageant has not started!” It moved away and simply looked at Charice and stared.
“Somehow she’s prettier than me, even though my blood boils when I see her,” she replied.
“We’ll know who will win between you two, so don’t say anything negative.” Bree turned to their teacher.
” Let’s get started. Who will vote for Charice as the representative of this section? ”
There was a majority who raised Charice, but Daniella didn’t really care if she lost the poll on who would compete in the other sections. The teacher counted those who raised their hands and gave 17 votes for Charice. “For Daniella!” Many also voted for Daniella.
When their teacher wrote down Daniella’s result, it was also 17. So their teacher was puzzled. “No one is absent from you. Charice and Daniella can’t vote for themselves. As far as I know, all of you here are 37 now, so there’s one who didn’t raise his/her hand. Whoever you are, you can raise your hand now. ”
The students waited a few seconds before someone raised their hand, and that man was William. Charice wondered why it didn’t vote for her. “Mister William, you don’t want to vote for the two of them to represent this classroom in the pageant?”
William looked at Charice and Daniella. “Yes ma’am,” William told their teacher.
