Chapter 13 Preparation

So idc wat this happens but I totally love you guys who read so far >﹏<

"Students are needed to stay back for the festival. And I want you guys to do this properly because the first in getting good business and popular will get a free trip this summer to a surprise place that's popular." Aisha said as she put down the papers and scanned the place. "There's a beauty contest too and its after the play. *coughs * any girl is willing to volunteer for this contest and additional couple contest after it?" She asked as some girls confidently raised their hands as they were written in the list. Rena was still studying madly as Aisha shouted her name in order to listen what she said. "Rena! Do you want to join in this contest?" Aisha asked as Rena looked through her book as she puts up a thumbs up.

"Somebody will do the costumes for us like all the participants in this contest right?" She asked as Aisha nodded. Rena written some words in her book as she closed it. "Is the menu done for your romantic-maid-butler-cafe like now because I need to print the numbers needed this evening?" Aisha said ad she scanned her list and its a very thick list indeed. "Alice, is the clothes perorations ready? Elesis did you practice them the play yet? And Elsword, did you got ready on your group decorations and your comedy script?" She asked as Elsword was turning paler while the other groups said an OK sign to Aisha. "Now everyone and I mean everyone here must stay back for the preparation for the festival. NO EXCUSE GOT IT!"she said as the class cheered in agree. "There's a tournament in three days

After School...

Everyone was busy getting the things in place. Elesis was like a demon as she trained the play as if she's training an army. Elsword was busy memorizing his script along with Aisha. Raven was busy with the other boys building up the cafe as the girls was doing the costumes.

"Ara can I help?" asked Rena who was free from her job shift. "Ah Rena, yes I really need your help here. Can you do your own dress for both contest and party?" Ara asked as Rena smiled as she went straight as she designed it quickly along with the maid costume she's going to wear. Getting her size and length perfectly, she begin to sew it. The others were watching her sewing very fast and beautifully as she finished her maid costume in two and a half hour without a machine to support her.

"Ah. I finally finished this now for the other...." she muttered as she hanged her maid costume beside the window. The dress was black in color with white frills around the middle and bottom the mini apron with frills at the sides and a little similar to the Lolita dress. She went through the dress magazines that was owned by Ara. She scanned through the whole thing as she shut the book.

"We can rent the dress from online right?" Rena asked as Ara nodded. She went to help the others to finish their costumes as she went back to her dorm.

"Lime? Can we go shopping today?" She asked through the phone as Lime answered a yes. Rena went to her closet as she wore a long sleeve shirt and a black leather skirt with a black stockings. Rena met Lime at a magnolia tree as they went to the nearby city shopping mall.

Rena
"Onee-san let go pick some things for the festival." I said as Lime smiled. "You want to go into the contest isn't it? This is a good thing to improve your feminine charm. Oh look at this dress. It suites you." She said as she handed me a midnight blue dress. I went in and change as I came out. The short strapless heart shape cut dress fit me perfectly with a long 'train' behind me. (I have no idea where the train word comes in). The train was just right, its length was just not to long and not too short. It was sew with shiny fabric and some shinny diamonds and beads along with the lower part of the dress. I turned around to the back as I could see my back was bare till my hips with a bow tied at my hips. If I stand straight the train fabric would cover my bare legs. I guess its flexible. I tried the gloves they gave me it was too midnight blue and a bit of black was at the finger tips. Lime was clapping her hands as she snaps some pictures on the way.

"Thanks a lot Alice!" Lime said as she came out. I was shocked that she made it herself. "No need to thank me. It was all my mother's help that make me finish before the other orders comes. Glad you look perfect in it Rena!" She said as I held her hand tight.

"Thank you so much Alice. How can I repay you?" I asked as she thought for a while. "Why not win the contest for me?" She said as I nodded.

"That will be 100,000 ED please." She said as I stared at her. "So expensive!" I shouted as she sat on her chair.

"What do you think it is, 50,000 ED? These fabric and materials are not cheap plus I gave you a discount already. This was suppose to add another 0 behind it. And I design it myself too and start doing it last two weeks straight." She said as I sigh. I gave the cashier a credit card as it scanned through.

"Thank you very much and please come again." She said as we went out after saying goodbye to Alice. My money from those dungeon quest!!!! Great now I really need to have a budget. But then Alice really gave me a while set for this dress. The shoes, accessories and make up were all there ready.

"Onee-san is it your doing again?" I asked as she smiled. "Yes. Now planning for my sister to win isn't a good thing?" She asked as I pouted. "At least pay for it. Later you will pay for tea break." I said as she nodded while chuckling.

After the while shopping thing. I came back with a lot of bags. Tiredly I read through the cook books for the meals in the cafe and the new skill I'm going to test today for Trapping Ranger. Cooking slackly I gave it to Ara to try it.

"Its delicious! You're really good at everything Rena!" Ara said as I smiled. Father uses to say this too and praised me saying I'm the jack of all traits. I read through the book about 'Vine Trap' and 'Biar Trap' picking vine trap would be fine I guess. I used it on the ground as the ground grew out thorny vines and slowed it down the enemy. Testing other skills I'm able to master it within a week along doing a quest for my skill 'Karma'.

Raven
"You can go back now." Elesis said as I walk at the hallway after 3 hours of practicing the drama. Both tired and sleepy I sat on the chair.

"Here." Jenny said as she sat beside me giving me a bottle of water. Taking the bottle of water I drank it without touching the tip. I closed it as I was sweating a lot.

"The play was nice. You were also really got when we practice." She said while blushing slightly. I pour the remaining water on my head as I shook it and refreshed. She stared at me as if I was crazy.

"That's better..... You were nice too but try to be more soft otherwise this Juliet is a tiger." I said as she blushed madly at my praise but I think she didn't hear my insult. As she was busy fangirling I walked away. Going back I went straight for a bath and an early dinner as I slept straight.
