Chapter 30: Prom night 2 {The Award presentation}

"Okay, Okay, let's have our seats, we are about to get started," said Mr Peter, everyone settled as Mr Peter insisted. "Okay so I would like to invite one of the greatest students in school, she isn't just the host, she is also the winner of last year's woman of the year award and one of the most popular girls in school, please welcome Victoria," he said as everyone stood and clapped for her.

Victoria walked to the stage wearing a white pretty gown and a crown. When she got to the stage, Mr peter shook her hand and gave her the microphone.

Victoria stood on stage and smiled,
"Wow," she said with a loud voice, "it feels good standing in front of you all as the winner of last year's woman of the year award," she said and everyone clapped for her again. But today, we are going to present the woman of this year award and I'm inviting a good friend of mine to come and present the award, her name is Ella," she said as everyone clapped for Ella as she mount the stage. When she got there, she hugged Victoria and collected the microphone and an envelope from her,

"The winner of the woman of the year award goes too," she said and opened the envelope, she brought out a white paper and looked at it, she smiled, "Nominees are, Ciara, Angie and Trina. The winner of the womon of the year award goes to....Angie," she said as everyone stood up and cheered me so loudly. I knew I would win an award but not this early. I was so shy but I had to gather confidence. I stood and walked to the stage, when I got there, Ella hugged me, then Victoria walked to me with the award and gave it to me, then she hugged me, and then Ella gave me the microphone to give a speech. I stood and looked at everyone nervously, then I remembered what my friend once told me,

If you're on stage, never look at the people's faces, look above their heads.

Everyone was looking at me, some were taking pictures while some were videoing me.

"I honestly don't know what to say, Thank you all so much for voting, God bless you all and I love you," I said and dropped the microphone as everyone began to cheer me while I headed back to my seat. I arrived at my seat and sat down,
"Congrats baby," Jones said, then I smiled without saying anything.

"Okay to present the man of the year award, I'm inviting the winner of last year's man of the year award... Chris Parker," Ella said as everyone cheered him while he walked to the stage. Ella gave him the Microphone and moved a little for him.

"Thank you Ella, I appreciate. Now the winner of the man of the year award goes to," he said and politely collected the envelope from Victoria, he opened it and brought out a white paper from inside and looked at it, "The winner of the man of the year award, nominees are,  Jimmy, Jones and myself... That's weird," he said as everyone laughed. "The winner goes to... Jimmy," he said as everyone became so surprised, they all clapped, but not that much. Jimmy stood up and headed to the stage, when he arrived at the stage, he was given the award and the microphone to give a speech. He politely collected it and looked at everyone,

"I swear I didn't see this coming, but uh... I'm so grateful," he said and gave the microphone back to Chris and headed back to his seat.

"Okay that was the last award I was going to present," Chris said and gave the microphone back to Ella and headed back to his seat, then Ella gave the microphone to Victoria and went back to her seat too.

"Okay now the last award for the moment is the award for the King and Queen of this event hashtag the best couples of the year, so I'm calling on my friend, he's my daddy, he's my brother and also my sugar daddy," she said as everyone chuckled, "Oh and in case his wife is in the auditorium I was only kidding, please don't stab me in my sleep," she said and everyone laughed. "Please welcome our very own Principal  George," she said as everyone cheered him while he walked to the stage. When he arrived at the stage, Victoria looked at him,
"Principal George you should be the winner of the hottest staff, I mean you look so hot today," she said, Principal George chuckled and politely collected the microphone from Victoria.

"Thank you Victoria, the king and queen of this event hashtag the best couples of the year goes to," he said and opened the envelope, he brought out a white paper from the envelope and looked at it, "No other couples but Jones and Angie," he said as everyone stood and cheered us. While we walked to the stage to get the awards. I and Jones received a couple of handshakes, when we got there, we were decorated with a crown and asked to give a speech. Jones collected the microphone from principal George and smiled,

"This is honestly my best year ever, I only joined this school a couple of months ago and here I am with an award, thank you all for voting, thank you Victoria, thank you, Principal George, I also thank my grandma who has always been supporting me from above, I'm sure she would be proud, and most especially, thank you, Angie, I couldn't have done this without you, I love you," he said and everyone cheered us again while we headed back to our seat.

They were lots of awards presented in the show but I only won two, while Jones won just one.

During Prom, I saw Victoria from a distance following Mr Peter, and she looked like she was yelling at him.
"Sir it is unfair, how could you rob Jones of the man of the year award, I counted the votes and Jones had more votes than Jimmy," she said,

"Victoria the man of the year award is not just any award, Jones can't just come from another school and win the award, he's only been here for a few months and him winning it is a slap to all the boy's face and a shame to the school,"

"Mr Peter Jones won it fair and square, the votes..."

"It's not the votes that decide, the winner of the man of the year, it's the winner himself," he interrupted,

"Wait what do you mean, did Jimmy bribe you?"

Mr Peter placed his hand on her shoulder,
"Even the Law has a price darling," he said and walked away from Victoria.
