Geli's Pov
By the way, when our classmates came here, they were already carrying a pair of school uniforms and they were also carrying beds as used in camping. They said it would be better if we were here in the shop to spend the night. To be able to practice more.
Tsk! Fortunately, their parents allowed them.
Good thing there are rooms where this building can sleep. And it's good that the beds are all master's bedrooms.
I still don't want to participate in their 'sleep over' here in the shop. Hhmm ... If only Althea hadn't forced me. It's ok because I'm the only one here in this room. Red put me to sleep here because Althea just forced me, he just made me solo.
*****
"Guys! Guys! Guys! wake up, wake up !!!!"
That voice began to make noise again. I covered my ear with a pillow because of the excessive volume of the voice. I took my phone from the table and looked at the time displayed on my phone screen. It is only four o'clock in the morning, why does she woke up early just to make a nuisance?
Someone turned the door handle from the outside so I looked there.
"Geli, Get up!" Its just Althea.
"Althea, your morning is disturbing!" I nodded.
"Common, Sleeping Beauty, get up! You need to practice one more time." Althea took my hand and pulled me away from the bed, I tried to reach for my phone before she finally pulled me.
*************
Althea took me to the practice area, before we finally got there. I looked at myself from below. I haven't been able to change clothes, damn it! since yesterday, this uniform is still my suit.
"Althea" I whispered near her ear.
"Yes?" She answered as she looked at me.
"Look, I haven't changed clothes since yesterday." I whispered again.
"Then, let's change your clothes, I have an extra pants and shirts, it will definitely fit you." Relief!
...
Althea lent me, her white t-shirt with black stripes, and her brown pants. But to make me more comfortable, Althea also lent me a dark blue jacket.
I'm not used to using other people's stuff.
*************
We finished practicing once, my classmates went straight to school, because they had a change of uniform. Althea drove me to my apartment and she also sent me to the unit. And since it was only five o'clock in the morning, I first cooked for her a fried rice and sunny side up egg. This is my first time cooking like this for other people. Well, Althea is no different for me. For me she is a ..... friend?
After I cooked, I said goodbye to take a bath.
*************
I have already dressed in uniform, my brain is ready for new lessons again. I went back to the table where I left Althea.
"Geli !!!" She had run out of food on the plate.
"Your done. Can we go now?" I asked gently.
"Of course, let's go !!!"
We went out and I locked my unit. We took the elevator, and since no one seemed to follow, I press the GF or Ground Floor.
"Wait !!" A voice of a man shouted.
Althea hurriedly pressed the open button.
Surprisingly, it's Vincent, the one who saves my life recently.
It was as if the two froze again when they met. What's up with them ?!
"Hi, it's nice to see you again" Said Vincent as he entered.
"Yeah, it's so nice to see you ... again!" They smiled to each other as if their lips were to be torn to excess.
"Ehem" I bothered their freezing moment then I again press the Ground floor button.
TING!
At last!
"By the way, Vincent, are you going to school now?" Althea asked Vincent.
"Yes, uhhmm ... Actually, I'm studying at F.G.U., I'll just move there too." That's why his face at school doesn't seem familiar to me. The women there are harassing him.
"Oh, right! Geli is there too, do you want to come with us?" Althea invited him.
"Really, well, alright, if youbsay so..." Why are they always like this, they just don't go straight. 'I like you', duh, its obviously obvious.
*************
Vincent offered to drive the car, like me, he was also surprised when he first saw Althea's car or maybe Red's?
He also did not think Althea knew how to drive.
I sat in the front seat so that they would not be too noisy. By the way, I don't call it passenger seats anymore, I don't know, maybe because I'm a little used to it and I don't look like a passenger to them anymore.
Hehehehe ....
It's as if it's always forced when I ride here, I feel I still have to pay. But now it is different.
I did sit here so that there would be no noise, but the silence also seemed deafening, all I could hear were the car horns and the gas that Vincent was stepping on.
"By the way, when did you move into your apartment?" I tried to break the silence.
"On the day I saved you, I was exactly moved there when I went to the intersection to ride, no taxi is stopping in front of the building!" It was the same in my brain then.
I was silent at what he said and did not speak again.
*************
Vincent parked the car at the side of the gate.
"Hey! No parking there!" The guard shouted while pointing at this car.
We hurriedly go off and Althea moved into the driver's seat.
"Good luck, Geli !!! Go, go, go! Bye, Vincent!" Althea said before finally turning on the car and leaving.
...
Vincent and I walked in together. As we passed the guard, he raised an eyebrow as he looked at the two of us. We just accelerated our walk before he could say anything.
"What's the good luck for that Althea told you earlier?" Vincent asked me. We are already in the hallway walking and we are about to separate directions.
"That's for our debate later" I replied without even looking at him for a moment.
"Ahh .. is that so? All right, I'm here. Good luck too!" He said goodbye before walking in the left direction.
...
"Being a business man or business woman is better if you can learn everything about it starting from senior high school probably because ...."
I heard voices and I think that was coming from our room.
When I entered the room, I saw my group rehearsing and so did Red's group. He was in the middle and seemed to be discussing what was in his group.
"Good morning, Geli!" Simultaneous greetings of my groupmates.
"Ahh ... I'm sorry, am I late?" I told them but I did not look directly at them.
"That's okay, My Princess !!" Terrence said struggling to see me.
"Tsk! Let's practice again, guys" Stephanie said sleepily.
"Yes, Geli. Come on!" Dondria approached me and held my arm.
"Ok"
*************
"Class, this is it! Are you ready?" Ms.Chaluer asked us.
"" Yes, Ms! "" Everyone's excited answer.
"Then, let's go to the stage now"
Ms.Chaluer came out first. I got up and led my group, so did Red.
*************
"Now, class! This is our judges. I chose them because they are good judges when it comes to such contests." Ms.Chaluer said while pointing at them.
"This is Ms.Corazon Ramos ..." The one on the left side stood up.
"Ms.Jean Villela, the headmistress of the school" The headmistress also stood up from the middle. My classmates began to murmur.
"And finally, we have, Mr. Arvin Valencia" The latter stood up and we started to applaud.
"Ok. Class, begin!"
Team Geli
Student 1: "What is heavier? It is also possible to be a businessman even if you did not study it when you were in high school? But in today's time it is necessary that many are educated! The others, the company is just falling apart. Why not study how you can fix the small problem so that it does not grow!"
Weird!
Team Red
Student 1: "That is also possible. Why is it that you can seek the advice of your elders! And if you are a resourceful person to choose to be a businessman it is also easier to solve the problem."
Team Geli
Student 2: "You are right there, but many millennials are not ready when they graduate, what jobs to choose, they have a diploma but what if you are so nervous that you can no longer use being can you pass ?! "
Team Red
Student 3: "Yes. That's true, but nowadays, many people have succeeded in becoming businessmen even though they did not start that course in high school. Just like Ms. Chaluer's former student, she once told a story to us that she has a student who has succeeded in becoming a businessman even though he used to do nothing in class but pure nonsense. "
Team Geli
Student 3: "If it's all about luck, there's only a 10% chance. So we better not rely on luck, let's rely on what we know is right. You can use your knowledge, for the brain you rely on. and not with luck. "
Team Red
Student 4: "It's not really enough to get through luck because that's not what I'm aiming for. All we have to do is be diligent all the time."
Team Geli
Student 4: "Of course if you want to be a successful businessman, you have to study ..."
I suddenly remembered what he had said.
When I was only 12 years old ...
...
~FLASHBACK~
"Why did your grades in science go down ?! Didn't I tell you if you want to be like me when you grow up, it must be higher enough than here! It must be higher than 90 but what do I see ?! An 89 in science subject ?! " I'm crying because Daddy scolds me and as for my Mommy she's still at work.
"I'm sorry, Dad. That won't happen again" I said sobbing.
"If you want to be a successful business woman when you grow up, you have to study hard! clear?! Study! Study! That should always put in your mind !!
"Yes, Dad"
~END OF FLASHBACK~
"Geli! Geli!" I just got back to the reality when I noticed a student tapping me from behind.
It was Dondria.
"What's wrong with you?" My eyes widened at what she said.
I looked at Red with my left hand raised. I looked around. They seem to be bored waiting.
"Sorry" I looked back and whispered that.
Team Geli
Geli: "Ok, we really need to study and study the things we are sure to include in being a businessman or businesswoman to make the business more successful"
Team Red
tudent 12: "Why are you always repeti-"
Red: "Yes, you really need to study but you don't always have to always rely on books or technology. Sometimes you need the help of a friend or maybe someone who knows more about the business world."
Team Geli
Geli: "Why would you? If the answers are already in your knowledge, that's better. People around you can still be proud of you!"
Team Red
Red: "If you don't have friends, no one will be proud of you"
Team Geli
Geli: "It doesn't matter if you have a friend or not!"
Team Red
Red: "But you have a friend!"
Everyone was silent. What am I saying ?!
"Uhmm .. class, that's enough. Go back to your room, now" Ms. Chaluer said calmly.
*************
"Uhmm .. My princess, are you okay?" Terrence asked me.
My groupmates surrounded me except for Stephanie who was already sitting in her chair.
