“Before we do the draw lot, how much budget for the gift first?” the president asked.
Others suggested what they want until the end, we agreed about 300 pesos. It's good it's not that expensive.
“So for the draw lots, bring out a 1/8 sheet of paper and write your names,” the president ordered and that's what we did.
After writing, she was carrying a container and she walked around and confronted each of us to drop our paper in it. After everyone already put in their paper, the president first shook the covered container and one by one the students went to the front.
“Prince Vince Victorino,” the president called to the prince. The baboon is really special. There must be a prince to call him.
He stood up and walked to the front. I thought this baboon would complain that he still had to stand up but I don't know why, it seemed like everyone suddenly became tense when he was in front. Almost
Now at work, Iris was gone when I arrived and I didn’t know why.Lizar and I are the only ones left and it's good that there are only a few customers now.We are about to finish at work in the café and the last customer has just went out.We are setting the tables when,“Someone left a thing,” Geoffrey said suddenly so we looked at him.“Where?”Lizar asked.“Table 14,” Geof said and using Lizar's legs, he jumped from there.I wassurprisedwhen he used his long tongue to pick it up.What the heck.Can't you just pick it up using your hands, Lizar?Good thing no human is around now.“A wallet,” he said as he took it.I was surprised again.Shacks.“Quick, look inside right away. It might have an ID,” I said.Lizar opened it and was surprised.“Why? To whom it was?”I asked.He d
Chapter 17XANIAThat afternoon when I came home from school after our Christmas Party, instead of going straight to work, I looked for a hidden place where I could vent my resentment, to be in beast mode.I didn’t cry at what the baboon said.I was used to the sharpness of his tongue since that time I was the personal assistant of that baboon.If I’m an onion-skinned, I would have quit that job a long time ago.But now, he is really overreacting.I arrived late at the café that made Ma’am Safira and Axton wonder and showered me with questions as to what had happened to me.Of course I told them the truth that I just had to be in beast mode.When they asked why, I didn’t tell the whole story.I was just pissed at someone, and they never asked again.As for his gift, at 10 o'clock in the evening after work, I went home first to put it in my room and then I hid as a beast.At twelve
The next day, I was here again at the café and after I placed the order of one of our customers in the kitchen,Chingling, sound of the chimes.“Good morning Sir—”I stopped for a moment in greeting because of the person who entered.Annoying.Just calm down Xania.Your smile might get lost.“We-Welcome to Hounded Pastry Café again Sir,” I forced a smile on the baboon.“Ri-Right this way,” and guided him to an empty seat.Oh great.Why is he here again?I was about to give the menu when,“No need. I'll have my usual,” he said suddenly so I stopped.I processed what he said before,“Ah right away Sir,” Iansweredand went to the kitchen to say the order.I don’t know if I’ll be annoyed or breath a sigh in relief because he’s not like yesterday who can’t even make a decision.
Everyone was amazed at what he said and our classmates started talking.Promenade, what is that?Is that drinkable?When the teacher spoke about that event, that’s when I understood.Ah, dancing.It’s a party?The teacher suddenly called our president to discuss our group performance because they said, every section of graduating students should have a group performance that day.Until the end, everyone agreed that we would dance waltz.Oh my.If there is one thing you should know about me, I have both left feet on these.I don’t know how to dance.Since at this dance it should be by pair, and due to that there are much more girls than guys, it was agreed that all guys should have a partner and the girls without a partner has its own dance and can exchange partner with the guys.So, a guy can have two girls as a partner. But before they looked for a pair for each guy,“Uhm Prince Vince
Chapter 18Oh no, oh great.There was one thing we missed.After our practice yesterday, I don't know why I only thought of asking Tsong yesterday.“Hey Tsong, what time is it again this uhm what do you call this party again?”“You mean the prom?”he replied.“Ah yes that prom. What time is it again on Saturday?”I asked.“6 in the evening,” he replied.“Ah. Then what time will it end?”“Until 12 midnight,” he replied again.I was surprised and looked at him.“Come again?”“12 midnight. Twelve o'clock. Wait why?”he wondered.I was speechless.So there it is, that one mistake. Just great. I should have listened carefully when they were talking about it.Why was I ou
After I changed, we also said goodbye because the baboon seemed to be in a hurry.I was able to thank his friend and promised to pay him but he answered me.“No need,” he smiled at me.“I told you it was free, Vince still paid me. You know, you two really suit each other.”I wondered what he said as we walked to the car.When we boarded,“Hey Tsong, how much is the dress?”I asked.“Cactus, wear your seatbelt,” he replied and I did.When he started the car engine, “Hey Tsong, how much is the dress?”I asked again.“Cactus, I'm driving,” he replied so I fell silent.When he stopped because of the red light,“Tsong, how much is the dress?”He let out a sigh.“You're not really going to stop, are you?”he questioned back, a little irritated.I fell silent but he
The long-awaited day of the Grade 12 students has arrived.Almost all the students prepared for the upcoming prom at six o'clock in the evening at a hotel.In Xania's case, when almost all of her co-workers in the café heard about that prom,there was no hesitation that Iris requested Ma'am Safira to close the café first just to prepare Xania.They didn’t go to a parlor just to fix her up.Not because they don't have money, Xania's hair is really sharp so a beast like her also needs to fix her.When she was finished with the help of Axton, Yune, Willow and Iris,“Guys, I present to you...” Iris said.“...the maiden Xania!”At once she went out of the room where she had been arranged, and surprised almost everyone.“Witwew,” Lizarwhistled.“Wow Xania. Chicks.”“Hey Lizar. Don't be rude ah,” Iris said.“Hey I'm just
Chapter 19XANIAI can't move in my place now, because this guy is in front of me.The whole place was even quieter after he had just played.Why is this person here in front of me?“Xania...” he called the reason for me to return to the truth.And it was his voice that broke the silence.“Tso-Tsong,” I stammered.“Uhm, why are you here in front of me?”I asked confused.He chuckled then.Huh?Do I look like I’m joking?I'm really nervous as if I don't know what he's doing.“Xania, in case you're not aware, that song is for you,” he said.Ah okay.So that's it?So he walked from the stage over here to tell me that?“Uhm, thanks?”I answered in doubt because honestly, I’m not really sure why he sang to me.He just smiled back.Uhm okay... why is he happy?Wait, what's going on?&
