Remember I mentioned I'm in the Top 20 and I want to be an awardee for this year? Well, there's a little chance that I'll be in the Top 20 for the second quarter since my average in Filipino is in the line of 6! It's quizzes! Come on! The 1st quiz, I failed because I wasn't there when they discussed, the 2nd I passed, 3rd and 4th were on the same day, wherein we also have News in AP and a presentation in Filipino. I had to memorize a lot of things for that day, that's why I failed the 4th. The 3rd quiz, well… it's the worse happening, I didn't number correctly the items. I didn't know there was an item with only 1 question but 2 answers, separate! I didn't put it in 2 numbers, that's why my whole quiz was wrong. Only the first item was right! What was the studying for? If I knew that will happen, I shouldn't have studied! It's a very bad week for me… I hate it because I also got a minus in our THE, because I forgot to bring the cloth for the Fabric Layout! I'm so stupid… why would I forget it? Gosh! I hate this week! Anyway, enough about my week, let's find out what happens to the gang. Writing is one of the things that relieve my stress, and that's why, I'll start this chap, now.
Life's been normal and the complete opposite of stress after the two detentions the gang had. It's now smooth sailing. Everybody was happy with their love life, Dana with Logan, Zoey with Chase and Nicole with Michael who were still friends with Steph, Matthew with Mia and Hayden with Alex.
It was a normal day except at lunch because the poetry teacher announced something on the school's PA system (which was heard by the whole school).
"Announcement, announcement. We have now decided on the 2 works that are the best for the poetry writing. They are the works of Ms. Dana Cruz…"
Claps and cheers"Thanks guys! I didn't know they would like it," Dana said.
"And Mr. Logan Reese," the teacher continued.
Silence then…"Woah Logan! We didn't know you write poetry!" Chase said.
"Hey, it's not an embarrassing thing. I've got to tell you, poetry's my best subject!" Logan said proudly.
"Yeah, mine too," Dana said.
"These 2 will read their poem tomorrow infront of the school in the assembly, and their work will be displayed on the 'Inspirational Bulletin Board'. They are talents we are proud off but we're sorry to say that only one of them will be competing in the 'Interschool Poetry Contest'. We shall have the 2 to compete against each other on the day after tomorrow to see who'll be representing PCA in the said contest. Hope to see all of you there to witness the reading of the poem and also the competition. It will be both held in the school theater. Thank you."
"Wow, I didn't think my poem would be chosen! I am the best in Poetry class, but it's just too weird to be chosen since the whole school wrote poems," Dana said.
"Yeah, and both our works were chosen," Logan said.
"Well, it's not a big deal. I really don't care on which of us will win. I'll just do the best I can and you should too. We should just remember that it's a friendly competition."
"Yeah, it's a friendly competition. So… walk you to your next class?"
"Yeah, sure."
Classes were just like the wind, it passed quickly and after that, it's the next day already and everybody's in the school theater.
"Welcome everybody! Today we would be hearing the two of the best poets in PCA. Ms. Dana Cruz, would you like to read your poem first or would you like Logan to go first?" the teacher asked.
"Okay, I'll go first."
Dana got her paper and read it,
"This is a poem, dedicated to someone special in my life,"
"Unexpected Song" (this is a song in the musical, 'Song and Dance' but I really like this since I can relate to it, so that's why it's Dana's poem)
I have never felt like this,
For once I'm lost for words,
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all,
I never thought I'd know,
The kind of love you've shown me.
Now no matter where I am,
No matter what I do,
I see your face appearing,
Like an unexpected song,
An unexpected song,
That only we are hearing.
I don't know what's going on,
Can't work it out at all,
Whatever made you choose me.
I just can't believe my eyes,
You look at me as though,
You couldn't bear to lose me.
Claps and Cheers
"That's beautiful Dana, thank you. Now, Mr. Logan Reese? It's you're turn," the teacher said.
Logan got his paper and first asked Dana, "It's about you and they'll know it's about you. Is it okay? I know we agreed not to tell it, I just wrote it but-"
"It's okay. I think it's time the world finds out. I am proud that you are my boyfriend. There's nothing I should be ashamed off," she said.
He then read it,
"This is like what Dana said, a song dedicated to someone special in my life,"
"My One and Only Woman" (I don't know how to make a poem! Sorry!)I was always a guy, everybody hated,
I had girlfriends, but our relationships ended.
I thought I would just be a ladies man,
Until I met the one perfect woman.
This woman changed my life so great,
Even though I thought she's impossible to be my mate.
We annoyed each other a lot by mean terminology, (he knows the meaning of the word!)
But she always got lost and I lead her to her dormitory.
I didn't know she's into sports too,
She joined the basketball team in day two.
She's really talented with the ball,
That we always made bets and she won them all.
At first she denied what she felt about me,
She always cried and made me guilty.
We always argue and always fight,
But with that my life became to be really fine.
I later on found out she loves me,
And she told me too with her words of beauty,
I became the happiest man on earth,
Because she completed me with her heart of mirth.
She always gets jealous when I'm with other slutty women,
But can't she see, she's the only one I believe in.
The other women mean nothing to me,
She's the only one my world revolves freely.
Many guys also get in our way,
Some guys like her and steal her away.
When I fight for her, she always says,
She can decide on her own and fix this mess.
She's my one and only woman you see,
She's really great and really perfect for me.
I love her so much, I really do, I swear to Zeus,
For her name is the one and only Dana Cruz.
Silence… then… STANDING OVATION
Dana's speechless. Logan's poem really made her happy. She cried tears of joy and went to him. She hugged him and thanked him. "That was great Logan, thanks!" (Yes it's OOC… but it's sweet, come on!)
The whole crowd cheered. The new couple (since this is the time when every found out they're together) was extremely great. Their poems were tremendous, fantastic, remarkable, great, amazing, outstanding and other words with the same meaning as those words. (For them, not for me or for you guys, sorry, I'm not great with poems!)
"Thank you so much Logan," Dana said.
"No problem. It's what's inside me, I figured out, I should just write about you, since you are my inspiration,"
"Thanks a lot,"
Now, the day is over. The next day would be the competition on who would get to represent the school for the competition. Dana and Logan really don't care, as long as they're together, they're happy. Even though Logan's known to be competitive, for a change, he isn't. It's Dana he's going to compete with, and it's a very big difference than all the other competitions he's been in.
After a poetic day, there came the next day wherein they stand in front of the audience again. The competition between them two was about to start. It's a themed contest and they wrote a poem based on the topic. The topic was, 'Magic'. (sorry, I suck at poems!)
Dana's poem- The Magic in my Life (still sucking)The magic in my life,
Inspires me with delight.
It helps me in glory and in sorrow,
Always with me until tomorrow.
The magic in my life,
Gives me powerful light.
It's beautiful and concrete,
Possible to achieve.
The magic in my life,
Is seen in my eyes.
It's deep inside me, whatever I do,
It's always with me and always so true.
The magic in my life,
Is the star in my night,
It guides me, it leads me and helps me,
For with it, I learn to be free.
Lastly, the magic in my life,
Is always so fine,
He's a person not a thing,
He gives magic deep within.
Logan's poem- My Magic TooMagic is everywhere, can't you see?
It's here with you, and here with me.
Magic is true if you just believe,
Trust in yourself and you will achieve.
Power so fine and glory so high,
Is what true magic is like.
But the best description of what it is,
It's a treasuring thing, just like a kiss.
Beautiful it always is, and always will be,
It's a great thing and really carefree.
It's blitheness always happy to perceive, (he knows the meaning of this word too)
It's possibility, hard to receive.
But magic is always inside you,
With you in everything you do.
And as I said prior to,
Dana Cruz, my one and only woman is my magic too.
The judges read it and read it out loud to the audience. They thought very hard because it was really hard to decide. But they decided that the rightful winner was…
Logan…
Everybody cheered, even Dana. She kissed him on the lips and said, "Congratulations! You've done it!"
"Yeah, I can't believe it! It's all thanks to you!"
Logan won and he got to be the representative. With the help of his inspiration, Dana, he won the Interschool Competition and gained glory from everybody. He was truly a poet, hard to see at first, but really true. He wasn't just a ladies man anymore, he's a poet, and a boyfriend of the infamous Dana 'Danger' Cruz, which everybody now knows. And he's not ashamed of it at all.
A/N: This is a weird chapter, but I just felt myself I have to write poems here… Anyway.. R&R! I didn't like this much, oh well! I'm not that great in making poems, I like best Logan's first poem. What about you guys? What do you think? Please review! Well, that's what I think I should post, so I did. Haha… I'm not making sense am I? Well, the lesson here, is to never be competitive. Competitiveness will get you nowhere. Like someone I know who was so competitive last year that she got what she deserved, and it was bad. Just always do your best, that's what's important! BTW… I'm sorry it's shorter than my other chaps. Yes, it's not that short, but you guys get my point. Uh… do you guys like long or short chaps? Just wondering.
