ALEXANDRA CHLOE SARVANTES
I finally finished what needed to be fixed, and I know you're looking for Venus, my stupid cousin. It's hard, isn't it? That's the truth, so don't bother arguing, and you won't get hurt. I'm here at school, and I know you're not asking, but I just want to say don't complain. I went to the council office, and I thought I'd see Venus, but all I saw was the annoying Zhia. She seemed to notice me and looked at me with a big smile. "Hi Alex," she said cheerfully, and I raised an eyebrow. "Tsk," I said, rolling my eyes, and went to my desk. After a while, the door opened again, and Venus came in carrying a bunch of papers. "What are these?" I asked immediately after she put down the papers. I noticed her strange look at me and just shook my head, knowing what she'd say. "Ah, cousin, these are papers. Didn't you notice?" she asked curiously, and I heard Zhia giggling. I gave her a dirty look, and she stopped laughing. "I know, what do you think I am, as stupid as you?" I said irritated, and she pouted suddenly. "You're so mean," she said, but I just rolled my eyes and looked at the papers she brought. They were just suggestions for booths, and they seemed good. "Have you chosen a booth for your department?" I asked her while looking at the papers, and after a few minutes, I didn't hear any response. So I looked at her and saw she was just staring at the papers. "Hey, I'm talking to you," I said, and she suddenly looked at me. "Ah, I was the one you were asking, cousin. I thought it was the papers, hehe," she said stupidly, which annoyed me even more. "You're so stupid, tsk," I said, rolling my eyes, and walked out of the council room before I got infected with her stupidity.
VENUS ATHLEA SARVANTES
My cousin must be crazy, and I really don't know where she got that from. She's different, especially when she was talking to the papers earlier. She knows they won't respond. "Venus, I'm stepping out for a bit," Zhia said, and I smiled and nodded at her. After she left, I read through the booth suggestions from each department. Our department, Business Administration, suggested a Sweet and Cafe booth, which was fine, so I accepted it. Then I looked at the twins' department, Psychology, and they suggested a Kissing booth, which I also accepted. I searched for my cousin's department and found that Accounting and Economics suggested a Marriage booth, which I accepted as well. The other departments had suggestions like Horror booths, Photo booths, Sweet booths, and many more, and I accepted them all since they seemed good. After finishing, I brought the papers to the school president's office.
President's Office - Hillario Santos III
I knocked on the door, and after a moment, it opened. The president's secretary, Kuya Jay, greeted me. "Hi, Good morning, Ms. Venus," he said, and I greeted him back. "Hi Kuya Jay, may I speak with Mr. President?" I asked, and he smiled. "Yes, Ms. Venus, he's been expecting you," he said, letting me in. I smiled in gratitude. When I entered, I saw Mr. President, and his appearance showed his age, with gray hair and some wrinkles. "Good morning, Ms. Sarvantes," he greeted me. "Good morning, Mr. President," I replied, hoping he'd ask me to sit down soon because my arms were heavy with papers. "Have a seat," he said, pointing to the chair, and I quickly sat down. "Have you finished the task I assigned to you?" he asked immediately, without any intention of taking a break. "Yes, Mr. President, and I'll just inform Ms. Alexandra Sarvantes that she can start preparing each department," I replied, and he nodded. "Thank you, Ms. Sarvantes. You may leave," he said, and I was about to stand up when he suddenly stopped me. "Ms. Sarvantes, please wait," he said, stood up, and returned with a woman who looked familiar. "Have we met before?" I asked her, and she smiled suddenly. She resembled Athena, especially in her smile, but I preferred Athena's smile. "Ms. Sarvantes, I'd like you to meet Atty. Aphrodite Saavedra, one of the owners of this school," Mr. President introduced. "Nice to meet you," I said politely, and she smiled at me. "Nice to meet you again, Venus," she said, and when she spoke,
"Hi," she said, sitting across from me, and I noticed her staring at me. "Why?" I asked, and she just shook her head.
APHRODITE SELINE SAAVEDRA
I have the wife of my sister in front of me. She's indeed beautiful and looks innocent. Maybe that's why my sister fell in love with her - because of her innocence. I also know that it's part of our mother's last will that my little sister needs to be married before she turns 23. "How are you?" I asked, and she smiled at me, making me smile too. Her smile is infectious. "I'm fine, thank you," she said politely, and I smiled at her. I was about to say something when my phone suddenly rang, and I checked who was calling. Little sis Calling... "I'll just answer this," I said to Venus, and she nodded. I quickly answered, even though she was right in front of me. "Hi, little sis," I greeted her. "Big sis, what are you doing?" she asked coldly, and I smiled. "Talking to your wife," I whispered, noticing Venus's curious expression, which was kind of cute. "Leave her now, big sis," she said threateningly, and I smiled, even though she couldn't see me. "No way," I said childishly, and she hung up on me. I just shook my head at what she did and looked at Venus, who was still smiling. I was about to speak again when I noticed that Venus was holding her phone and smiling widely. I think I know who's calling her now, and she noticed me looking at her. "It's okay, answer it. Don't make the caller wonder," I said, and she smiled and excused herself. "Hello," I heard her say, and I just looked at her, smiling. What magic did you use to attract my sister to you?
ATHENA SAMANTHA SAAVEDRA
Big sis is really annoying. Maybe I shouldn't have told her yet. I'm talking to Venus now, and I smiled when I heard her answer. "Hello," she said, and my heartbeat suddenly quickened. "Hi, how are you?" I asked immediately, smiling, even though she couldn't see me. "I'm fine. Just busy with some things, especially since the school festival is next week," she replied, and actually, I'm the one who planned for their school festival to be earlier. I'm going to surprise her, and I know many people will be surprised by what happens that day, especially her. "Young lady, your meeting is now ready," Celine suddenly said to me, and I nodded, then spoke to Venus again. "I'll call you again, wifey. I have a meeting," I said, and she responded, which made my heart happy. "Okay, don't forget, and I miss you. Don't get tired, bye," she said, and I replied before hanging up. "I miss you too, yes, you too. Don't get tired, bye," I said, hung up, and stood up for my meeting. I know that once many people find out that I'm married, many will be surprised, especially them...
