REBORN: Revenge

"Please. Don"t give me that kind of face. You, on the other hand, completely forgot about me the moment you became a famous designer." She knows that Alfonso is only saying that as a joke, however, she just couldn"t help herself from making the same comment.

"I see that you"ve changed a lot, Keila." Alfonso smiled seeing how much Keila Jones has changed. The last time he saw Keila, she was just this shy beautiful girl, but now, it seems like she turned to a whole new person.

Despite the changes that he sees from her, he still feels that her kind is still intact.

"And you, have not." From the way Alfonso is talking, it doesn"t seem like he changed. He is still the same man that she knew back then. "Anyways, we can talk about us later, I still have a problem at hand." As much as she wants to have a conversation with Alfonso, she can"t since her cla.s.s still needs to win.

~~~

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Anna asked in a surprised tone. She"s in shock to her uncle Alfonso showing up in her school.

"Wait. You two know each other?" Keila who is about to introduce her long time friend to Anna and Leon is also in shock to know that Anna is calling Alfonso her uncle.

"Yes. Uncle Alfonso is a friend of my Mom." Anna never thought that Alfonso has other friends aside from her mother and her other uncles.

Anna is about to repeat her question, but her uncle Alfonso suddenly held both of her teacher"s shoulders, then shaking them. "Why didn"t you tell me that Anna is the one partic.i.p.ating?! If you did, I would have picked the proper dress for her!"

Earlier on the phone, Keila told him that her student"s dress suddenly got missing and she needs his help to have a new dress. Since he and Keila had a past together, he didn"t hesitate to agree. Before the call ended, he asked her what was her student"s sizes.

Coincidentally, the size that she told him happens to be his little NaNa"s size. He didn"t think that it is his little Nana.

"How would I know that you two know each other?" Ever since she saw the news that Alfonso finally manages to become the famous designer he always dreams of, Keila started to avoid the media as much as possible. The only thing she has now is the news about what is important.

Her avoiding the media like that doesn"t mean she"s angry or anything like that to Alfonso. Her reason is that every time she sees him, she is always reminded of the past. Sadness and pain overwhelm her every time. Avoiding the media is her only way to escape the past.

The only reason she decided to call him now after such a long time is because most of her students are looking forward to winning this event. She as their cla.s.s advisor, can"t let her students down.

"You should have told me the name of your student, that way, I can tell you my relations.h.i.+p with her."

"Well, you should have asked me. Don"t blame me for not telling you." In the first place, she had no idea that they know each other, and on top of that, she is not allowed to tell any information about her students to other people.

Alfonso looks at Keila, then showed an expression as if he pained by how she talks to him. "Keila, my dear, you"ve changed big time. I"m heartbroken."

"Enough with this drama, Alfonso. I want you to do your job and change this student of mine into a winner." Right now, all Keila cares about is her cla.s.s winning the pageant event. She wants to show those self-centered teachers that a newcomer like her can handle the cla.s.s Anna is in.

Knowing that Keila is being serious, Alfonso also turned serious. "Keila, my little NaNa is already a winner since she was born."

"Uncle, don"t say that in a loud voice." Anna"s face turned red after hearing that kind of comment from Alfonso. 

"Why? Am I not allowed to say that?" 

"That"s not it. Everybody is looking at her with a glare, and on top of that, she"s embarra.s.sed." Leon said to Alfonso who is oblivious from all the stares everyone is giving them.

"Is that it? Let them glare all they want. If they can do that, then they must have thought that they don"t have a chance to win at all." To Alfonso"s perspective, those people are glaring at his precious Anna are all bunch of losers who can"t stand seeing a person who looks better than them or is on a better path than theirs.

Those who heard that couldn"t help but look away and feel the anger inside them. What Alfonso just is the truth. Ever since the first round, all they could hear is that Anna is definitely going to win. Even the judges kept on looking at Anna"s direction, the look on their faces is enough to say that they are satisfied with the performance Anna is showing to them.

While everyone is getting ready, there is one certain person that kept on walking back and forth in the hallway. It is as if she is waiting for someone to come and see her.

"Will you stop doing that. You"re giving me so much headache." The person she"s been waiting for has finally arrived.

"Elizabeth! Where have you been? You"re supposed to be beside me throughout the whole time!" She angrily shouted at Elizabeth.

"What"s your problem? I hid the dress you told me to hide." Irritatingly said to the girl. The only reason she"s a.s.sociating with this girl is that she wants to have revenge for what Josh did to her face.

Since she can"t touch Josh, she thought that Anna will be the easy one to have her revenge on. But from the way this girl in front of her is speaking, it seems like something went with her plan. "Useless." Elizabeth inwardly said.

"Hiding that dress is useless! The famous designer, Alfonso Dreyar came to Anna"s rescue and brought her a new dress for the final round." She is still having a hard time believing that Anna"s cla.s.s advisor has a connection with the well-known designer.

With all that is happening, it"s clear that there is definitely no chance for her to win. Since she was a little child, she always dreamed of wearing a crown and become famous in that industry. In every chance that she sees, she always goes for it, however, her efforts were not enough.

Even though it"s only a school pageant event, it is still a chance for her to s.h.i.+ne since one of the judges is well-known. She thought she actually has a chance to win since the people in her school has no experience in the field. But obviously, she thought wrongly. Anna Coleman who has no experience at all can actually walk the stage so professionally.

The way Anna handled herself really annoys her. She, the one who has so many experiences is losing to someone who has none of the experiences that she went through. That thought alone is enough to make her lose control.

"Oh. I guess your chance of winning has gone to zero." Elizabeth nonchalantly said. At this point, Elizabeth is even gonna bother the girl any further. For her, once a failure is always a failure. There is no need for her to interact with her any longer.

"What?"

"You heard me. There is no need for me to repeat my words to you." Elizabeth doesn"t even know why she"s still talking to her. Today is the day she wants to deal with Nathalia, and she can"t waste any more of her time to have her revenge, she will have more time to do that once she sees a chance.

The girl saw Elizabeth walking away, but she immediately stopped her by tightly holding her wrists. "You said you"re going to help me win!"

"Did I?" Elizabeth acted as if she doesn"t remember saying those words to her.

"Aren"t you one of the partic.i.p.ants? What are you doing here? It"s almost time for the final round." One of the teachers who suddenly heard noises outside came to take peek. To her surprise, she sees one of the partic.i.p.ants chattering.

Noticing that the teacher didn"t hear their whole conversation, Elizabeth put on her friendly smile and said, "I"ll be rooting for you! Do your best, okay?!" Elizabeth leaned forward, then hugged the girl. "If I were you, I would just focus on answering that judges" questions, and who knows, you might win against Anna Coleman." She whispered to the girl.
