Chapter 136: Impressive !

Alyssa tried all the makeup ideas that came in her mind thtought the week until one thing crossed her mind.

" I can use Jokers makeup.." She suddenly said and tried it on her face.

After that she stood before the mirror with the makeup on. It looked wierd but maybe she had her reasons why she chose this.

***

Unique Makeup Competitions.....

It was finally the day for the Competiotions. The function took place from one of the biggest hotels in the City. Most contestants were there by 10am.

Calcel's car arrived before the building when his driver came to open for him. He came out with all paparazzi waiting for him with their cameras. The best they could do was to take his photos because they obviously knew he would not talk to them. This was his character they were used to.

Back to the hall...

The contestants were preparing themselves in their dress room as the competition was soon beginning. Alyssa got her kit and begun applying her makeup very well.

As she begun with the powder , She heard the girls say.

" You girl , Calcel is already here i have heard. " She spoke.

" Are you for real ? " The otherone asked in exitement.

" Ya. I can't wait to see him face to face. He is the only reason i joined the competition. " The first girl again said.

" That will be enough even though i don't win the competition. Just him to see me, talk to me and know that I also exist. " She finalised when they both let out a laughter.

Alyssa heard them and smiled at their thoughts. How could they only join a competition just to see someone. Ya , She had seen him in the magazine and yes he was really hot. But she didn't expect people to join the competition for such reasons.

Alyssa minded less as she begun applying her white foundation. Suddenly ths girls turned and saw her.

" Oh my , Look at this girl. Whuch type of makeup is that ? " The first girl asked with a smirk.

" It's white foundation. " Alyssa replied confidently.

When they all saw her they laughed their lungs out.

" Oh my God ! You think today is Halloween ? Look at you ? You look like a ghost ! " The second girl talked with disgust and disrespect.

They all laughed again making Alyssa really angry.

" All of you stop laughing. You will not understand what I am doing anyway ! " She spoke putting back her focus to ths mirror.

Later on, Different girls were called for their presentations until it was finally Alyssa's time.

When she heard Marvis Thompson, She knew she was the one and came out with her Joker's makeup. Her whitefull face and the red fake smile lipstick.

When she stepped onto the stage almost everyone was surprised to see her like this.

" Who is this ? " Whispers started from the people seeing the weird makeup this girl had.

" This is weird, What the hell is this makeup ? " The judge who sat near Calcel asked. He was an older man that looked about his early thirties and the third judge was an

old woman of about forties.

" Can you introduce yourself ? " The old female judge asked.

" I am...." Alyssa turned to face them when her eyes landed on Calcel. He was also looking straight to her and he had his normal face expression.

She didn't know why her heart skipped several beats when her eyes saw this handsome face again.

' Why is my hurt racing ? What's wrong with me ? ' She begun asking herself as she kept mum.

" Will you talk ? " The male judge yelled bringing her back to reality.

" I am sorry sir. " She spoke loudly with a bow to apologise

This made Calcel surprised. This voice. It was exactly like Alyssa's. He opened his eyes in shock and gave her more attention when she stood up right again. But this Joker's makeup , One could not tell her real face right now.

" My name is Marvis Thompson. " She declared herself

Hearing this made Calcel give a sigh of relief. It couldn't be Alyssa of course because Alyssa was dead.

" Marvis Thompson ? So can you tell us what that is ? " The woman asked.

" This is joker. " She answered looking at her.

" Joker ? We all know that. Can you tell us why you have appeared like this today ? " The man asked.

Calcel was already in another world thinking of the voice this girl had.

" I chose this makeup because it's a symbol of pain and happiness. " She begun.

The rest laughed when she said this except Calcel and the female judge.

" Silence...will you please explain to us ? " The woman asked making the man feel embrassed.

" Well, We all know that this is a fake smile. It's just a lipstick. Many us do makeup to look beautiful for ourselves and the people we love. Then I come to think of this. Not everyone is loved. So now those who feel unloved , What do we do ? "

She asked and there was silence.

" I got an accident 10 months ago. " Saying this made Calcel curious again. It has been 10 months since Alyssa's death.

" When i recovered I couldn't remember everything. Then I found myself with a step mother who really mistreats me. But because I am father's daughter, I have to keep on the smile and show him that all is well because I don't want to hurt his feelings for her. And as you see me right now, I got to know that the man I loved abandoned me when he found out I was carrying his child. " Her story was getting sad amd it started touching everyone.

" So, My past maybe bad. But because I have to push on with life, I wear a fake smile to show that everything is alright. In short, Makeup is not all about looking beautiful and attractive. It's all about building yourself confidence and being able to move on. Just like this smile , That shows everything is alright eventhough there are tough times. As long as I can smile, I can fit in the society, Forget my painful past and move on. "

She concluded.

" Impressive ! " The woman said and clapped for her.

The rest heard the clap and also clapped her.
