Good luck Kiss
Here comes my most awaited day!
I woke up early so Jez can do my makeover. Taking a deep breath, I did a little bit of stretching exercise to condition my body.
It's the perfect timing for Wyn to have no class today. He’ll be busy handling the household chores I'm supposed to be doing.
Jez's panting face greet me in my own room. Pure eagerness shook his body. He’s even more excited than me!
"Do you know what time it is, girl? Hurry! Take a bath. “He dragged me towards the bathroom, shoving the towel in my face.
In mixed nervousness and excitement, I let the water trickled over my figure. I’m not fond of conditioners, but I’ll use one to smoothen my hair for today. My humming carried through the air as I scrub every inch of my body.
The exact moment I walked out of the shower, Marcus came out of his room. His eyes were narrow and slanted as he tries to rub the sleepiness away.
"Good morning, Kaoree.Good luck!"
He smiled like morning sunshine.
"Thank you."
"Do your best! Make sure to show them you're the prettiest of them all."
I raised my eyebrow at him.
"Of course!"
With a hand in my waist, I declared.
"No one can beat me, for sure. I’m a goddess!"
He sneered at me. Before Marcus came down to the kitchen, Latrelle met him halfway. That one mustn’t have noticed my existence. He didn't bother greeting me.
When I went inside the room, Jez was plugging the hairdryer into the socket.
"Wear casual clothes first, okay?" he reminds me."Dry your hair before coming down for breakfast."
I nod, as he went out and close the door.
I did what Jez instructed me, as quickly as possible. But before I leave the room, I stared at the family picture of Mom and Dad.
"Mom, Dad, If only you were still here, "I muttered regretfully.
"You could've seen your most gorgeous daughter strutting like a top model.” I giggled.
I don’t have the time to mourn and cry on this special day, so I kept it short.
And then my phone vibrated.

Lucky
Good luck, Sis! Do your best, and Grandma is expecting you to win!
Kaoree
Sure thing! Thank you!
When I reached the kitchen downstairs, the five men are finally complete. I must've looked like a celebrity! The electric fan gave me the floating hair effect in my entrance.
"Porridge girl! If you won, I’d treat you to a meal”, said Latrelle. He winked at me.
"Sure. Anything on the menu, okay?"
I would never resist anything free, especially since he's the one who kindly offered. This is my payback for everything he'd done to me. I grinned in secret.
As I sat beside Jez, Wyn hand over a bowl of rice. Just like usual, he smiled so gently.
"Good luck. Even if you don’t win, you’re still the most beautiful above anyone else."
Everyone on the table slowly turned towards us, their eyes widening at what they just heard from Wyn. There’s the sound of cutlery as Marcus dropped it from his grasp. Latrelle was the same, and his drool was almost falling.
"Maybe you're ill? Or are you being possessed?"
He repeatedly caressed Wyn on the forehead. Wyn only chuckled as a reply.
While we're all eating, I can't help but glance at T.H.He's eating quietly, how he normally does. Only his plate, fork and spoons are making a noise. Minutes have already passed as I secretly watch him from my seat. I’m still waiting for him to say good luck to me, too. Why am I acting this way? I shook my head and continue to finish my food.
Shortly after our shared meal, each of us part in our own ways to go to school.
"I'll go watch the event, after my first subject. Bye!"Marcus said so before he ran away from my room.
Jez has started to put my hair in the curler while also putting makeup on my face.
"I'll find a way to come,” Wyn flashed a smile, as he promised it with such tenderness.
I almost closed my eyes, and his tone was like a lullaby in my ears.
"Girl, you've already slept. But you still look sleepy", Jez muttered.
"Not really!” I denied the claim.
It was an hour and a half when we finally finished my makeover.
"Enter the carriage, princess," Jez announced after he opened the door of T.H's car. Would you believe it? He actually waited for me!
I suddenly wonder if he has class this morning, too. While inside the car, Jez and I sang in high volume. Every minute of our ride to school was filled with laughter. Why wouldn’t we be when my voice cracked while singing?
"Don't strain yourself, "T.H advised as he opens the door to assist me. He then stroke my hair and tamed some wild strands. My breath hitched every time our skin touches.
" Wait, where is your prince?” I hear Jez muttered in a worried tone. He’s on edge because we can't reach Avier on the phone.
"Kaoree-"T.H's words got interrupted by the unexpected presence of Latrelle.
Huh! Why is he here, and he even brought Marcus with him? Is their first-class over?
"Here's your prince! “said Latrelle. He childishly made a sword fight with Marcus using their ballpen. I ignored them, still preoccupied with what T.H wants to say to me. I could feel the sweat beading on my face. My heartbeat feels like it's getting louder.
"What were you about to say, T.H?"
Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me, but he suddenly looks so cute! Both his cheeks were red from blushing. I wonder why?
"Good luck,” he slowly leaned to kiss my forehead while holding both of my shoulders. I suddenly wished for the breeze to take me away from my spot. I feel so embarrassed!
Momentarily closing my eyes, I’m just waiting for Jez and his two other friends to tease me to death. But strangely, they didn’t. The three of them remained silent, so I curiously opened my eyes. I look over my shoulder, and I thanked heavens for what I saw. The trio is too busy with their own things.
T.H was already in his car. And when he finally drove away, I still haven’t noticed yet.
I almost lost my sense of balance after Melissa crashed into my body.
"Hey! I saw that! You're such a flirt! “she puckered her mouth. “So, you two are a couple now? “the girl funnily added.
"No!” I emphasized the word in my whisper
"Feeling famous? Refusing to reveal your boyfriend?” Melissa questioned with her raised eyebrows.
"We're not in a relationship! It’s just a good luck kiss." But damn! I'm already assuming it's more than that! This way, you're a goddess, Kaoree! Me being T.H's type would be like hitting the jackpot! Wait, no. I already have Wyn, so I can't get carried away.
"What do you mean, Goodluck kiss?! A simple 'good luck' would do. There is no need for kissing! My goodness, even your stares were as sticky as a rice cake!"
Hmm, that's true. But maybe it is just my imagination that T.H could look at me so, so sweetly?
