Susana was dumbstruck, similar to how the students were at the moment.
Although she expected to be in awe with Dawn if she could at least perform a little, she never expected for Dawn to be this good.
It’s as if Dawn has already helped them come up with the routine for their cheer dance.
If the others in their team could replicate what she did, then they would for sure win the competition.
Susana quickly wrote down her name at the top of the list and even encircled it.
When Dawn finished performing, the people erupted in cheers.
“Whoa!!!!! Amazing! Wow! It’s like seeing a cheerlea
Days later, Helena picked up Dawn to get her hair and makeup done. She had hired Monique to do their makeup in her residence. Dawn had to excuse herself again from their study group because of this event that she had promised Helena she would go with her. Just like last time, they would meet on Sunday instead. “Thanks for coming. I liked how you did my makeup last time.” Helena said to Monique. “I’m excited to see the outcome later.” “No, thank you for inviting me..” Monique smiled. “Ah.. Dawn! Will I be doing your hair and makeup too?” “It would seem so..” Dawn smiled. “Good to see you again..” “Good to see you too.. I’m looking forward to learni
Since December is fast approaching, the air is much colder these days. The wind blew, making her shiver slightly.Keenan went back to the study and moments later he came out carrying a blue velvety throw blanket with him.“What are you doing here by yourself?” He asked her. “Have you been here a while?”Keenan was not surprised to see her at the party. He had seen the guest list just now and saw her name next to Helena’s.“Nope. I was just wandering around.” She smiled, her legs stuck together.He then put the throw blanket over her, wrapping her with its warmth.
“Umm.. guys, I actually forgot the lyrics of Fall For You hehehe..” Blake grinned sheepishly. Dawn looked at him flatly. ‘You were the one who suggested it and now you’re saying you don’t know?’ “Dawn, you can sing your own version of the song..” Keenan suggested. “Why don’t you do it? You know it too, right?” But Keenan didn’t want to sing Fall For You to other girls. He didn’t feel it was right. They were already squealing earlier when he sang Viva La Vida. This song by Secondhand Serenade would cause these girls to go crazy. This was their natural reaction every time this song is being played in school. Dawn sighed. “Okay, I got it.”
Days later, Trinity Institute was now in a festive mood.Banners were hung and the band led the parade.Freya and Bridget were among the majorettes in front and center sashaying their hips as they led the band.They held the school seal, it was a coat of arms with a cross in the center.The rest held batons, twirling it as they danced their way forward.Bridget was the lead majorette while Stephan was the band master signaling for the students who held their assigned instruments to play on cue.As for the cadets, they were not in their teams at that moment. They helped facilitate the parade, making
Cyrus was among the people who were shocked by the display that Dawn presented together with Keenan.There was no shyness and nervousness in Dawn’s face at all. She had a look of seriousness. Her moves were confident and precise.Clearly, she trusted Keenan and he was the same with her. They were in sync with each other.After the drill exhibition, the program continued and the teams got ready for their cheer dance performances.Dawn retouched her makeup, adding glitter and to her brows and eyelids, extending to her temples.Using her suggestion beforehand, the members of her team had prepared glitter makeup and big green ribbons to tie their hair.
As Estela listened, she had a feeling that Tara was just saying it and not really taking it seriously.“Dawn, you said that it was Keenan who suggested it?” Estela asked.“Yeah, he did. He lent me his nebulizer for Estelle to use that time.”“Is he asthmatic too?”“Umm–I’m not sure. But he did say that he brought it for emergencies like that time..”“Make sure you take Estelle to Doc Marlon, Tara..” Estela reminded her.“Yes, Ma..” Tara nodded. Since Estela had already insisted, she couldn’t not go. Else she w
Blake smirked even as he struggled. Events like these are perfect for them to compete against each other. He always believed that he was the more active one since Keenan has always preferred to keep to himself. He pulled as hard as he could. But he could feel himself sweating profusely. His hold on the rope has begun to loosen as it became slippery. His teammates behind him started to feel pain on their palms. “Ugh! My hands feel like burning!!” “Oh no! My knees are getting weaker!” Blake gritted his teeth. ‘Stop using energy
After Dawn played a game of chess and of table tennis, she headed to the quadrangle with Aria and the rest who had no other games yet.They went around checking out the booths. Some were selling milkshakes, sliced mangoes, brownies, etc. While some organized activities like the handcuff booth, and marriage booth.There was even a booth where you could pay to have them send a note for the announcers up front to read.At this moment, several of their classmates were lining up on that side.They wrote their note as discreetly as they could. There were only a few rules to take note of.They can’t write anything that has vulgar words. The announcers would
In the La Cocina de Mamà restaurant, Dawn’s family and relatives gathered around. Aria and their other friends were also there–except for Alvin and his group. Keenan’s parents and uncle were also there, as well as Blake. They reserved half of the restaurant to host a party to send her off. This was also a birthday celebration for Dawn as she turned sixteen years old. “Everyone–thank you all for coming. Please enjoy tonight. And I hope that everyone will help me pray for my daughter’s safe travels and well-being abroad.” “Of course!” “Congrats again, Dawn!” “Visit us, okay? Don’t forget your friends here..”
Days turned to weeks.It was finally time for the teachers to submit their final grades after the final exam ended.Susana, the class adviser for Dawn’s class this school year waited in excitement.But when she saw the grades reported by Cyrus, she had to do double, triple checks.She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.It showed that Dawn had scored less than a hundred in some of her quizzes and exams.“Impossible.. Less than a hundred on the subject of History and of Religion?”If this was two years ago, she wou
Four boxes in different sizes. One contained a jewelry set of diamond necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring. Another box contained an iPod with songs already downloaded. Another box was an iPhone. Dawn could still not get over how she was holding two items that were already phased out back in her previous life. “Whoaaaa—These are all expensive!!!” Tara exclaimed. Dawn nodded. “I thought he’s only there to study..” “He took a part-time job..” Dawn smiled. “Whoa–he c
When Mallory announced this, Hugo panicked. “Wait–I promise I can do it..” He said to Mallory. “Practice your lines first.” Mallory sighed. “Okay. I will.” He nodded vigorously and went to the side to practice seriously. Jason heard what was said but still tried his best to deliver the lines. Dawn appreciated that Jason took it seriously, not wasting everyone’s time. Moments later, Hugo approached. “I’m ready, ma’am..” He said to Mallory. The latter thought it over
Dawn missed Keenan very much. She could only distract herself by preparing to apply for scholarships for College. She also wrote more books and consistently scored perfectly in all quizzes and exams. It was her way to not think about the time and distance away from Keenan. She had finally reunited with him but soon had to bid him farewell. She didn’t go with them to the airport to send him off since his parents would be going with him to help him get settled. Both of them knew that it would be hard to say goodbye, so they spent a whole day together and the next day, Keenan left with his parents. He only gave her a call thirty minutes before he boa
As the girls gathered around, the boys also had their own circle.Keenan beckoned to Blake.The latter had been eyeing Aria.“What’s up?” Blake asked him.They sat by the shore of the beach resort, a distance away from the others.“I should ask that.”“Eh?” Blake blinked up at him. “What do you mean?”“You and Aria–”Blake’s brows pulled together, he pursed his lips. “Aren’t you with Dawn?&rd
The High School students finally get to enjoy their summer vacation.Dawn and her friends have long planned to meet up during summer and go to the beach.Alvin and his friends joined the planning of course.Back then this was the same group who would make plans together for summer as well.But this time, there were additions to their group.Now, there’s Cierra who is Alvin’s girlfriend. And there’s Keenan and Blake too.They didn’t know that Blake would join them as well, and he also didn’t make such plans before. But when he came to visit Keenan in his house, that&rsq
After Alvin danced with Dawn, Hugo walked up to her and invited her to dance.She thanked Alvin and went to dance with Hugo.But like Alvin, their dance was not so romantic either.‘Why is Ma’am Susana the one choosing the songs?’ Hugo thought glumly.There really was no chance to act sweetly with Dawn with the choice of songs for this event.The song ended and Hugo had wanted to dance one more time especially when the romantic song finally came on.“Ahemm. Ahemm.. May I cut in? Dawn, can I have this dance?” Keenan interjected.
The gymnasium was decorated with clear balloons, flowers, draperies and lights. It was a theme of white and gold, and the venue looked luxurious.As the prom began after the regular classes of other students ended, everyone queued up, waiting to enter the gymnasium as the music played through the speakers.The students who had not gone home yet were now watching as their schoolmates entered the gates and queued up with their partners.“HAHAHA look at that! Is that dress for prom or for salsa dancing? Why is it so short?”“Where? Where?”“Over there!” The student pointed. “She’s wearing brown.. It had tassels a
