章節 22: Chapter 22 Envious.

Days have passed and everyone's attention was focused on the celebration coming up that they called "Espectaculo," and camping while all I did was to listen to all their preparations.

In the "Espectaculo," they were expected to do something entertaining either to sing, act, dance, model or show some other amusing skill.

Camella wanted to sing but she was only perfect at singing with someone and since I wasn't attending and the people she moved with had their different preferences she choose to dance.

I felt envious as I watched all their preparations. The "Espectaculo," wasn't going to be held in school, they were going to be travelling on air to Moyin: one of the biggest venues worldwide.

I felt more envious when that news reached my ears as I imagined how wonderful their trip would be. Going to Moyin was like visiting heaven itself, everyone wanted to go there and what would make it more lively for them was that they were going to go together and they would savour these feelings with each other.

The best thing was that after having fun at Moyin, they would go camping...

'Oooh, how I wish I could just go!' I soiloquized but I shrugged those thoughts away because even thinking about that was a waste of time since I haven't even told my father about anything related to it. I haven't still gotten a chance to speak to him about the other issue, so telling him about this was like a dream... I sighed.

"Boom," Camella frightened me as she hit her foot hard on the ground and I snapped out of my dazed state.

"So are you done rehearsing?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Yep," She said and then she leaned down and sat beside me on the floor.

"So you are watching Mabel dance instead of coming to watch me," Her brow knotted.

I knew she was trying to brighten up my mood so I just smiled.

"I already know what the outcome would be, so I don't think I need to waste my time watching you," I teased and the lines on her forehead popped out more.

"Waste your time?! If you see me dance you won't believe that I'm the same Camella, you would think that I am a professional dancer," She said as she cleared a speck of invisible dirt off her shoulders and I smiled at her gesture.

"I also wish I could watch you on that grand stage performing,"

"Well, my wish is different...I want to see you performing with a guy which I know will be either Gabriel or Julian," A playful smirk made its way to her face and my brows creased.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, that's only if you can come.....of course.." She began as her playful smirk still stayed there but there was also a bit of seriousness in her eyes.

"Okay, I understand. I will just go straight to the point...Well as you know it is called Espectaculo, so it deals with fun but before the programme at Moyin ends we are going to have a dance .....a kind of couple dance.... meaning that you stick with a boy for that dance," Her smile widened and I knew that she was going naughty again "If you were there who would you pick?" She finally asked.

"Of course Julian," I blurted which made the girl's eyes widen in shock.

Wait!! Why did I even say his name?!

"Julian?!" She repeated as a sound of victory followed "You finally know you have something for Julian?!" She continued her torture.

"No, I didn't say that! All I said was that I would pick Julian and I said that because he is my closest male friend," I tried to explain it to her but I knew that it was of no use besides she understood, she just wanted to tease me.

But I was also still in wonder of why I said his name without even thinking.
