Tale of Arcillana

Chapter 34

Cam's Point of View:

"I think we should make your pasarela unique." Macy said while acting like thinking. He is my gay classmate. Most of the students called him Macy. He dislikes someone who called him in his real name, Macario. He will be going be my manager. And he created a team in our class that could help us in the backstage. He is good when it comes to make up. And he will be the one who are going to prepare all of my stuff.

"How?" I asked clueless. Like what I have said before, I am not into pageantry and I only knew basic since I also watch some national beauty contest like Miss Universe and Miss World. Other than that, nothing else.

"You already have the attention of everyone because of your extraordinary beauty. I actually adore you. I envy your face, your body and all. You seem gifted, like the Gods and Goddesses favored you. But don't just end there. I want you to amaze everyone not just by your beauty but I want you to create a signature." He said with an evident excitement in his eyes. I can say that he already have an idea on what to do.

Macy is actually a good companion. He has this attitude but he is kind and thoughtful. I have not noticed him the first week because I do have a lot of works to do and I am always with the company of Mitch and others.

"Wait I am lost. I don't know what exactly to do." I said. He just smiled at me and said, "watch me."

He went to the corner of the room. Like what he have said, I've watched him as he executed the pasarela he wanted me to do.

Macy walked swaying his hips naturally side by side while beaming from ear to ear. When he reached at the middle, Macy turned slowly in one hundred eighty degrees and becomes aggressive in the remaining one hundred eighty degrees while giving a burning sensation through his fierce look.

"That's the transition Cam. You will surely ace it and create an impact. You have to burn the stage, that's the goal. I will think of something that could describe that walk of yours." He said. What he did was amazing. From a very light aura to a burning one. I hope I can do it the way he did.

"Try it." He suggested and without further ado, I walked towards the corner of the room.

I gave my best smile and walked towards the center and did the transition of walk when I reached the center.

I have heard Macy clapped. I am seeing his smile. And I am happy that it was his reaction.

"I am doubting you now that you have not tried any pageants Cam. For a first timer, you did well. You only need a drill to master it and you are all set." He said complementing what I did.

"I am telling the truth. It was just, I am a fast learner and of course, I am Camelle Arabella Montidalgo. There is nothing I can do." I said and winked at him.

Since it is already lunch time, we decided to stop here. We will continue our training tomorrow and I told Macy to come at our house at weekends for he is going to help me for the things I am going to wear at the pageant in different categories. The organization assigned in this event already announced the flow of the pageant.

I went to the cafeteria alone. Mitch was busy because she is the chairwoman in the pageant. She is very hands on from the program up to the venue and organizing the backdraft and other designs needed. And others in their different roles in their organizations.

I just ordered a slice of chocolate rolls and a soda. I have no appetite to eat today, probably because I am alone? In my one week here, I am used in eating with them. I have not eaten my snack or lunch alone, just today.

I am about to have a slice on my chocolate rolls when someone pulled it in the side. I am about to stand and shout to that person when I saw Nicolai's face when I look at him.

"When did a dessert became a main course?" He asked. His eyebrows were about to meet each other. "Eat this first." He said and gave me his food.

"Hey it's okay, this is yours." I said while giving back his plate but he stopped my hand from pushing it slowly to reach his side. I am not really in the mood to eat today.

"I will get mine. Eat that." He said and turned. He lead himself to the counter and probably ordered another menu. I followed Nicolai's back. I creased my eyebrows because I am confused. He usually does not mind what I am eating. Why is he acting this way?!!

"I thought you are busy? Others are not here." I said referring to our friends. We actually have a chat group and he said earlier in there that he is not coming down because he is finishing something urgent. Others had their lunch with their members so I am the only who are in this table earlier.

"I am done already and I am hungry." He said. I am about to utter another word but my eyes widened when Nicolai raised his spoon and feed me. "Eat." He said. I am like a robot that automatically opens my mouth and received it.

Oh my gosh!

"What are you doing?!" I asked in a lower voice. Geez I can hear students' rumors. Is he insane?!!

"Just eat." He said again and feed me another one. I want to hit myself for opening my mouth again to receive the spoon that has rice and fried fish with sarsa. I don't know what they called that kind of dish but it is something like that.

"Yaaaaah! We were only gone for a while yet you are already doing something like this?!!" I turned my head to where Mitch at. She is here with the others and I am dying to put some tape on her mouth. She is too loud!

“Is this some kind of date?” Alliah asked. I was about to speak when Viper interrupted.

“Are you two in a relationship already?” I was taken aback on what I have heard on Viper. She really does not care about what people might think of me and Nicolai. She’s just concern on how she should speak her mind.

Because they are too loud, we already got the attention of everyone inside the cafeteria. I never been embarrassed in my whole life, just this once.

“Please lower down your voices.” I said in a low voice. I am really ashamed. The rumors of Nicolai and Margaux being together was believed further because of her post last night. They’ve been the talk of the town.

“Please don’t do that again. I can eat on my own and I don’t want to be seen as a third party here. I don’t deserve that.” I said and stood. I need to excuse myself first. “I have to go. I’ll see you later guys.” I bid before leaving but I have not able to take another step when Nicolai have a grip on my pulse in my arm.

“You have not eaten anything yet Cam, please have a seat and eat first.” He said. How did he know that I was not able to eat my breakfast?

Did my brother tell him that?

I shook my head to push that thought away. I know my brother won’t talk to anyone just because of that reason.

“Please? Don’t mind them and just eat.” He said after he seen me being conscious. His hand were still gripping mine.

I heaved a deep sigh before sitting back and grab the spoon and the fork. I glance at my friends who are now smiling.
