《Abnormal》Chapter 22 Pageant
Advertisement
I looked at myself, red and black dress, roller skates, some star stickers under my eyes, wavy hair and an secret umbrella under my dress.
"I'm not ready at all." I said.
Sean sprinkled some fairy dust, no, glitter on my face.
I sneezed, "Wth?!"
"Why not? You don't like glitter?" He asked.
" I'm fine with it , but why my face?!" I said, brushing some glitter off.
"I saw Bethy, she had lip gloss and a very shiny dress." He said.
I rolled my eyes , there were still some glitter on my face , "Yeah, just these would be fine."
Sean clipped something on my hair, "There! "
I looked at the Mirror, there was a flower clipped onto my hair, and in total, I looked....cute.
" Hello everyone, welcome to the beauty pageant of 2020! " The speaker roared outside, making me even more nervous.
"Good luck! " Sean waved good bye and left.
I took a deep breathe and peeked outside the curtains.
There were more than 600 people sitting on the grass.
The event is held on the field, it was a sunny day, that's good.
The principal came up and said a few sentences, something like...welcome to another year of blah blah blah, we really do hope everyone is doing well here blah bleh bluh.... he got a round of applause after that.
The host came up with his script, "Now, let's welcome Auri from class one ! "
The music started blasting from the speaker, it took me sometime to ajust the volume.
A girl in a pony tail walked up, long yellow dress and some make up, there were butterflies fluttering beside her.
She made a pose in the middle of the circle and walked back.
"That was amazing! Now let's welcome Endia from class two! "

A girl with caramel skin walked out, in a blue dress, she has curly brown hair.
There were sparks beside her, it flew upwards and formed some letters, Endia.
She walked around the circle the walked back, the sparks disappeared and the name was gone.
I closed the curtains and bended down, trying to concentrate on breathing.
The girls from class three, four, five already went.
"Fantastic! Let's welcome Bethy from class six! "
Boys from the left of the audience started cheering.
Bethy walked out in a light pink dress, she had super high heels and pink lip gloss, she used her quirk and made shapes and letters, vote for me.
She posed multiple times before blowing a kiss to the judges, Bethy walked backwards and turned, returning to behind the curtains.
I sucked in air between my teeth and lowered my head.
The girl from class seven was on her way, it was seconds before her return.
I can't do this I can't do this I can't do this.
But a part of me was screaming, GO! GET OF OF THERE GURL! SHOW THEM WHAT WE'RE MADE OF!!!!!
I took a deep breathe, inhaling and exhaling.
"Let's welcome, Millie from class eight! " The host announced.
Boys from the middle of the audience cheered, and the loudest is.... Sean.(surprise surprise)
I skated out from the back and found myself facing 600 and more students, I skated around the way, and did a 360 degrees turn followed by a cartwheel.(Yes, I wore pants underneath my skirt.)
But then, while I was facing the ground while doing a cartwheel.
I saw, water, yep water, floating water.
A float piece of sh----
I turned and skated around the area, the big blob of liquid followed my moves, I did a front flip and landed on the edge of the stage, one centimeter from falling down.

Just then, the blob striked, I took a step to the left, dodging the attack, I backed up after that.
The water reflected the sun, making wave like textures on me.
The judged observed closely, not suspecting anything yet.
I looked back, great, more attacks, Bethy is really trying hard to soak me I see.
I skated in an S formation, dodging the water coming from above.
I tried to make it seem like I did all these on purpose.
So that it wouldn't ruin our school's reputation.
Just then, water droplets started pouring down, but only on the stage.
I could tell Bethy was raging right now.
I was in the middle of the circle, I took my secret weapon, umbrella power!
I opened my umbrella and held it on top of me.
And stopped myself from getting soaked.
Thanks to Bethy, there was now a rainbow!
Thanks a lot Bethy!
I did a bow and skated away, trying not to trip due to the wet stage.
The audience clapped.
Bethy stomped at me at the back of the stage, she grabbed my sleeve and pulled me towards her, "You little...."
"Hey! What are you doing?" The teacher at the back yelled at Bethy.
I pulled my arm away from her, "Go away Bethy." before skating away.
The judges were deciding, I peeked nervously at the judges, they were talking and making hand signs.
The crowd was muttering and whispering.
I gulped nervously.
The judges gave the host a piece of paper.
"And...it seems like we have a tie! "
The crowd gasped.
"Bethy to 28 points and Millie to 28 points! "
I glanced at Bethy, her face was bright red.
I gulped, gotta run after this.
