CAMPFIRE

ELLIS' POV

When they called my name, I was hesitating if I would move because I am not even sure if I heard it correctly. Is it because I am not expecting anything from winning in the competition?

But when Eros is smiling at me and gesturing me to come forward, then, it means that I really won. I won!

I moved forward and everyone was cheering even the candidates are clapping their hands for me. I just can't believe it. Is it really true?

"Congratulations." The emcee says to me and gave me a stash, and I turned to Eros and he's giving me his crown, turning over his throne to mine.

"Congratulations, El. I am proud of you."

He says and I smiled at him.

"Thank you."

I turned my head towards the audience and I can see the teachers and judges are cheering for me. I am not dreaming. I really won!
