"First debate"
[Miley's POV]
"Mi, wake up!" demi called as she was trying to get ready. I opened my eyes and of course here she goes again, multi tasking is where she's good at. She was dressing up, eating toast, checking her schedule and blow drying her hair.
"morning" I greeted her with a smile on my face and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
"mi, i prepared breakfast, just grab some toast and don't forget to bring the snack I've made for you" she said still busy on fixing her hair.
"thanks, I'm lucky to have you" that was sincere, I'm blessed to have her. But I noticed something; she's taking forever on whether what she'll do with her hair.
"hey, dee, what's up with you?" I chuckled
"uhm nothing, it's just that I'm having a bad hair day" she said giving up. I stood beside her and helped her out. I grabbed the come and fixed hair. It wasn't that bad, in fact she looked pretty with just her being natural.
"thanks, so what are you up today?" she asked smiling
"I'll be at the council's office today to meet up with Atty. Grey, we'll be having a practice debate you know." I said nervously. I've done it before, debating with people but this is different, I'll be debating with someone I don't know. I need to be good at this so that I'll be at Atty. Grey and Atty. Ash's firm when I graduate.
"good luck and I'll know you'll make it!" undoubtedly she comforted me.
"so you'll be meeting up with the doctor today?" I giggled
"yeah, I'll be stuck with him for the rest of the day coz he'll be guiding us and prepare for our clinical test next week" she sighed
"hmmm I know you'll be a great doctor Dee" [a/n: miley calls demi 'DEE' and demi calls Miley 'Mi']
"and you'll be a great lawyer Attorney!" she pat my shoulder and we both laughed.
"I better go prepare my clothes before time ran fast by me" I laughed as I head to my closet to fit and mix matches my clothes. I have to be formal, meaning slacks and blouse would be perfect. But before I do that I have to do something very important. I quickly went into my bed and grab one of the books that I love. Then I closed my eyes and started to think and ask for an advice regarding the day.
Today is the day that you should trust your instincts. There's a saying that first instincts never fails you. If there's something bothering you, today would be great day to let it out and search for answers to your undying questions. Keep it up!
"well that went well" I muttered. i took a glance at the clock and I knew I have only an hour left so I scurried to the bathroom and got ready. It took me half an hour to take care of my things and went straight to the office.
"Ms. Stewart finally you're here!" Atty. Grey exclaimed
"good morning, atty." I greeted back as we shook hands
"hmmm so Ms. Stewart, as we all know, you're one of the best students I ever handled and the school has ever produced. Today will be having a practice debate. It's not in a formal setting we just want to see you if you have the qualities that we're looking for. I don't know which topic you'll be debating but I'm sure it's not that important. I must say it'll be weird, coz Atty. Ash or should I say Atty. Fitzpatrick comes out with really crazy topics. Out of the world I must say" he chuckled causing me to giggle.
"now you're making me nervous" I admitted
"don't be, I believe in you and don't mind the opposing team that'll be debating with you" he comforted me. Good thing it worked. After a few minutes of waiting there I saw two figures coming our way. It was him, he's here! I thought. He was very neat, his clothes are intact and well ironed. On the other hand Atty. Ash is there smiling.
"ready?" she asked me giving me a hug. I did the same thing and I smiled at the man in front of me.
"c'mon then" Atty. Ash grabbed my hand and led me into the court room to start the debate. My eyes widened when I saw the place filled with people. I can't say that they're already lawyers but it seems like it. Now my heart started to pound and beat fast, my hands are shaking and my legs started to tremble. Then I heard a voice behind me.
" relax,breathe in breathe out" he whispered into my ear making me melt. I thought I was going to pass out. Good thing I didn't. Then he flashed a sweet smile before he sat beside Atty. Ash. A smile crept into my face, he's voice and smile made me lose my mind and suddenly I felt convince that I'm losing control. How can he be so damn fine! stop it miley! Stop. Concentrate!
"Good morning everyone, as you all know we are here to witness a practice debate. To all the students who are here, welcome. Please listen carefully on how this debate will be. We have admired these two individuals who are here to give us such an intense show. I am pleased to welcome you Ms. Stewart and Mr. Nicholas Grey" Mr. Kevin Grey said as he clapped his hands and the crowd welcomed us with such enthusiastic applause.
Nicholas Grey, such a beautiful name
As I was went into my wildest dream zoning out from the whole scenery a soft warm hand touched my shoulder. I looked up then I saw him, his brown eyes met mine it was mesmerizing. What a wicked wizard for captivating me under his spell. Of course it is a compliment not applying sarcasm.
"hey, don't you wanna grab my hand?" he chuckled. I was wondering what he was doing but gave in immediately. I grabbed his hand and he led the way in front. We stood there waiting for Atty. Ash to give us the topic. Couple of minutes passed then there she stood smiling. I was nervous, Mr. Grey's words kept repeating inside my head. I must say it'll be weird, coz Atty. Ash or should I say Atty. Fitzpatrick comes out with really crazy topics.
"this is weird and I'm now apologizing, but the students who are here are mostly in a stage where they are having doubts, mixed emotions linger in them. So now his topic talks about feelings. Here it goes. "Love is ideal. Yes or No. Ms. Stewart take yes, and Mr. Grey you have no choice but to stick with no. Begin" from there, Atty Ash. Exited the front stage and left the two of us. I decided to take the lead and talked.
"yes love is ideal. Without it we would be nothing. The world would be dull and useless." I looked at Nicholas, he was so confident. Now I'm getting nervous.
"No" he then smiled. "Love is not ideal because we are the ones who should be making it ideal. It's not love itself, but us individuals who are falling in love." he chuckled making me think of a good answer.
Think miley think!
"any answer Ms. Stewart?" Mr. Kevin asked as he raised one of his brows
I shook my head and I didn't know why, I ran out of answers I didn't know what happened to me, seems like I lost track of my own thoughts. It was weird. Now I'm not getting into the debate team, they'll definitely kick me out.
"That was a wrap, I didn't quite expect it to end it this way but I must say though it was short we can't really call it debate but both of them made a point which lead into only one idea. Which is we need to find our perfect match to be able to understand what love really means and how perfection comes with it. Without individuals how can we build a perfect relationship. When I say relationship, I'm not talking only talking about opposite sexes but please include love in building a good relationship with your friends, family and to all individuals. Love has no limit therefore we'll be having such perfect relationship if we work things out. However, we'll be undergoing such changes like having problems and feeling different kinds of emotions. Bear in mind that without trials love wouldn't be perfect. Because problems makes individuals realize its worth. Now that makes it perfect. Ms. Stewart and Mr. grey that was a good show. Dismissed." Ms. Ash finally closed and ended the debate.
I walk home very disappointed in myself. I went into my room dropped my bag in the doorstep, and laid in my bed thinking about what happened earlier. Then I realized there was only one way to overcome this disappointment. I looked around me and grabbed the nearest book. I then closed my eyes and started to think when suddenly.
"hey there supers- oh no you aren't doing that again!" demi said annoyed she grabbed the book from my hands.
"hey to you too, and yes I'm doing it again" I said as I grabbed the book from her hands and closed it again.
"Mi,-"
"no dee, shhh quiet" I whispered.
"tell me what it says okay?" she finally gave up and I just nodded my head. After reading the context, I was relieved that it did help. I considered it as an advice.
"what'd it say?" demi looked at me with one of her brows up
"it was a story, I understood what it said. It was totally helpful" I said smiling
"I know but tell me about it" now demi was really interested.
"he was a guy who lost everything that matters to him. His family and friends, they abandoned him just because of a simple mistake that has nothing to do to harm people. He was only trying to help the needy yet his loved ones wasn't supportive of that. He came to a family where they only cared about themselves but he was different. They left him yet he didn't give up. He helped the needy and he is still trying his best to let everyone understand that it's not only about the people you know but also to the ones you don't know. Not giving up is a key to surviving. So now demi, though I know that I didn't do quite good into the debate I won't give up!" I proudly said.
