VENUS ATHLEA SARVANTES
The crowd is starting to pour in now that it's the day of the school festival, and I'm in charge of fixing the graduation stuff next. I'm currently in the council office, while my cousin is at the booths of their respective departments. "Venus, Venus, you have a call!" I noticed it's just a classmate calling, and I answered immediately. "Hello, Pres. We need you here at our booth because not many people are coming in," he said before I could even speak. "Okay, I'm on my way," I replied before hanging up and looking at the maid outfit I was supposed to wear, which was delivered earlier and laid out on the couch. Imagine it! Costume of Venus I quickly put it on and checked myself in the mirror. I smiled because it fit perfectly, and I even twirled around and posed. I heard my phone ring again, and when I saw who was calling, I suddenly paled. Lexi calling... I accepted the call, my hands shaking as I answered. "Hello, cousin, hehe," I replied nervously. "Venus, get to your booth now. They've been looking for you for a while, you stupid," she said sternly, and I pouted at her words. She's always calling me stupid, and now she's even using English. "I know I'm bad, so get out of there," she said, and I was taken aback because she seemed to read my mind. "You're really stupid. I didn't read your mind; you just said it out loud," she replied, and I nodded in agreement. "Ah, okay, bye, cousin," I said, hanging up the phone and leaving the office. As I walked out, many people greeted me and stared at me. "Wow, President, you're so beautiful today!" "Yeah, right, I'm totally crushing on you!" "We love you, President!" "I think I might be in love with you, President!" "You're so sexy, Pres!" They shouted, and I just smiled at their comments because they were praising me too much. Don't they know that excessive praise can go to one's head? But it's okay; their words are nice, so it's fine, hehe. When I arrived at our booth, I noticed that many people had followed me, and the crowd had grown significantly since earlier, which surprised me. "Wow, Pres, you look amazing in that outfit!" Shane, one of my classmates, said, and I smiled. "We've had a lot of customers because of you, Pres," Adrian and Arriane chimed in, and I nodded. "Let's get to work," I said, and they quickly got moving. I helped out too, and at each table I visited, people asked for pictures with me. "Pres, you're so beautiful. Can we take a picture together?" one of my schoolmates asked, and I smiled. "Sure," I said, and we took a photo together. "Enjoy your meal," I said as I left their table, and they thanked me. After a few hours, it was lunchtime, and we were about to take a break when someone walked in who made my heart skip a beat. Thump! Thump! Thump! As he approached me, I saw that everyone was staring at him in awe. "Hi, wifey," he said with a smile, and my friends were practically speechless. "Hi," I replied, and he looked at my friends before his expression turned cold. "Have you eaten?" he asked coldly, but his eyes told a different story. "Not yet, we were about to take a break," I said with a smile, and I noticed he smiled subtly. He was about to say something when my friends suddenly interrupted. "Hi, miss," two of my male classmates greeted him. "Tsk," he replied coldly, looking at me.
"Let's eat lunch together," he said coldly, taking my hand. I was about to speak when Adrian and Shane suddenly pushed me towards him. "Bye, enjoy your lunch date," the two said with a mischievous grin. I just shook my head, and as we walked out, many people stared at us, especially at our joined hands. We reached the parking lot, and he opened the car door for me with a smile. "Thank you," I said, smiling back, feeling a spark from his touch that made me feel giddy. He got into the driver's seat, smiled at me, and started the car. "Where are we going?" I asked after a few minutes. "To your favorite restaurant," he replied, looking at the road. "Wow, Jollibee?" I asked, and he nodded, glancing at me briefly. We arrived, and he quickly got out, opening the door for me, making me feel a warmth in my cheeks. Why did he have this effect on me? He took my hand, and we walked in, greeted by the guard. "Good afternoon, ma'am. Enjoy your meal," the guard said with a smile, and I smiled back, but Athena just looked indifferent. We went straight to the cashier, and I ordered first, making Athena chuckle. "Two pieces of burger steak, two large cokes, three large fries, and two chocolate sundaes, please," I said quickly, and Athena smiled slightly, handing over her card when the cashier asked for payment. Jollibee is really worth trying, so if you haven't been here yet, you should give it a try. Our food was served quickly, and Athena took it. I noticed people staring at us as we walked, like we had something on our faces. When we sat down, I stared at Athena's face, leaning in close, and noticed she suddenly blushed. "Why is your face red?" I asked curiously after checking if she had anything on her face. "N-nothing," she stuttered, and I just nodded. She handed me my food, and I clapped excitedly. "Thank you," I said, kissing her cheek, and many people stared at us in surprise. Athena gave them a cold stare, and they looked away. "Welcome, wifey," she said, starting to eat. I finished eating in a few minutes, just like Athena. "We have somewhere else to go," she said with a smile, and I nodded, though I was curious about our destination. After resting, we stood up, and she took my hand again. "Let's go, wifey. I have a surprise for you," she said, kissing my forehead, making me blush and feel a little spark.
