John Alejandro: STERN

Clue 33: Joining a crazy competition

**Evelyn POV**

"Ahhhhh!"

"Wooohhhh!"

Hindi magkamayaw ang mga tao sa sobrang kasayahan when I and Alejandro conquered the stage. Oo, rumarampa kami ngayon at kasalanan iyon ng aming mga classmates kung bakit kami napasali dito.

It is the Search for Mr. and Ms. Stevenson High! Ang classmates namin ang nagsuggest na kami na lang daw ni kuya gov ang sasali kasi bagay na bagay daw kami. Eh, di sige. Ako na ang mahaba ang hair. Ang ganda-ganda ko kaya?

Kaya ayun nga. Napuno ng sigawan ang boung Stevenson.

"Andreve, we love you!" Napakalakas na tili nina Cassandra at Sharmaine. Gusto kong mapailing pero nakaplaster na ang ngiti sa aking mga labi. Nakakagulat nga dito dahil ibinabahagi na ni Alejandro ang kanyang smile sa iba. Alangan namang kasing hindi siya mag-smile, eh, rampahan ang pinag-uusapan.

Gusto ko ngang bakuran si Alejandro para akin na lang kanyang mga ngiti. Geez! Nakakapanibago! May alam pala ang taong ito tungkol sa mga bagay na ganito. Ang rampa pa niya ay pang Cosmo! La la la la.

After posing at eachsides of the stage, Alejandro and I should meet at the center. Nang mapatingin ako sa kanya ay gustong malaglag ang aking puso. He is smiling widely! At nakatutok ang kanyang paningin sa akin!

Nang makalapit kami sa isa't-isa ay nabigla ako sa kanyang ginawa.He caught my waist and draw me closer to his body. Then he kissed me on the cheeks! Boung Stevenson ay napahiyaw at napasigaw na di ko alam kung kilig at inggit ang dahilan.

We smiled at the audience for the last time before returning to the backstage.

*****

"If you fall in love with your boyfriend's brother, what will you do? What decision will you make?"

Isang hiyawan ang nanggaling sa audience. Question and answer portion na at ang tanong na iyon ang aking nabunot. May narinig pa akong sumigaw na bagay daw sa akin ang tanong.

Ngumiti muna ako bago hinarap ang aking nerbiyos at ang mikropono. I silently cleared my throat. "Thank you so much for that amazing question. I just want to correct those who said that the question suits me." Nabigla ang lahat sa aking tinuran. Medyo nainsulto kasi ako sa sinabi nilang iyon. I cleared my throat again. "I'm sorry but I guess, we deserve any question thrown atus. In my honest opinion, If I will be going to face that kind of trouble, I would rather have a heart to heart talk with my boyfriend. I will tell the fact that I'm in love with his brother. I won't be unfair. If it's not too hard for him, I would like us to continue on with our relationship but as bestfriends perhaps. That's all, and thank you."

Isang masigabong palakpakan.

Muli kong isinout ang ngiti sa aking mga labi. I felt Alejandro's hand tap my back when I returned to my place. Now, it's his turn to be questioned. He stepped forward confidently.

"Ok, contestant number 4, here's your question. What will you do if your brother's girlfriend fall in love with you?"

"Seriously?!" dumagundong ang boses ni Alejandro sa boung gym. Natahimik ang madla sa kanyang ginawa. Oo nga, parang related naman kasi ang tanong sa aming dalawa. At napakanonsense pa ng mga iyon. "Pardon my irregularity. To answer your question, if my brother's girlfriend will fall in love with me, I guess I have nothing to do with it. Unless, I am also in love with her.If the girl did what my partner had answered a while ago, I would ask my brother's permission if it would not be too awkward to have his girl as mine. Thank you."

Tahimik na bumalik si Alejandro sa aking tabi. Halatang pinipigilan niya ang inis at galit. Nabigla nga rin ako sa mga tanong nila sa amin. Parang scripted.

Mas lalo kaming nahindik at nashock nang marinig ang tanong na sasagutan nina Alex at Xeira. Alexander was asked if what he is going to do if his girlfriend fall in love with his brother. On the other hand, Xeira answered the question that is asking her how to face the situation where her boyfriend's bother's girlfriend fall in love with her boyfriend.

Napakanonsense ng mga tanong. Kung hindi pa sinabi ng emcee na galing sa mga estudyante ang mga tanong ay baka nagwalk-out or worst nagprotesta ako ng di oras.

Thirty minutes after the question and answer is the coronation.

Laking gulat ko ng matanggap ko ang Ms. Stevenson-Morale! Third placer ako! Hindi ako makapaniwala! May place ako! Ang cute cute ko talaga! Along with the major award, I also received the award for tandem of the year with Alejandro. We also received the Best in Talent Award where we sang in Dou the "Remind me" of Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. In addition, Darlings of the Crowd is awarded to us both.

Anyway, second placer naman si Alejandro. He is the Mr. Stevenson- Academics. Nasungkit niya rin ang 'Most Genuine Smile' na award at ang 'Best Ramp Award'.

At the end of the night, Alexander and Xeira are crowned as Mr. And Ms. Stevenson. The king and his queen.
