"I can't believe this!" Namumula ang mukha ng mommy ni Liza sa pigil na galit. Hindi ito makapaniwala sa nangyari. Pagkadismaya naman ang mababakas sa mukha ng daddy niya.
Liza's school took disciplinary action, informing her parents of her expulsion. Effective date: TODAY. Regular absences and class cutting constitute the first offense. She was observed consuming alcohol inside the dorm, her second offense. Third and last offense: Nakipagsabunutan lang naman siya sa isa sa mga school prefect.
Halos apat na taon din ang inilagi niya sa Wycombe Abbey, an independent boarding school for girls in Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. It is consistently ranked as one of the top all-girls schools in the country. But she doesn't want to stay there. She wanted a regular high school life at ayaw niyang mag boarding school. Matagal niya nang hinihiling sa Daddy niya na mag-aral sa California for personal reasons, but her mom wanted her to stay in England. Kaya gumawa siya ng napakaraming kalokohan para makaalis doon.
"I know you don't want to stay here. But really, Liza? Is it necessary to put our family in shame just to get out of that school?" Halos magsilabasan ang ugat sa leeg ng mommy niya sa galit. "Five generations of our family graduated from Wycombe, including myself, Liza! Alam mo ba kung ano ang ginawa mo? You've just degraded our reputation at that institution!" patuloy na sermon ni Karen sa disi-sais anyos na anak habang paroo't parito sa magarang sala. Inabutan ito ng asawa ng tubig to calm her ngunit hindi nito iyon tinanggap. She's so upset.
Liza just rolled her eyes at tinakpan ng earphone ang magkabilang tenga and listened to music at total volume.
"Look, Ronwel," baling ni Karen sa asawa. "This is all your fault! You spoiled her too much! Now, look at her. She won't even listen to me! I am her mother, for Pete's sake!"
Hindi umimik si Ronwel. Alam niyang tama ang sinabi ng asawa. He loves his daughter way too much to the point na kinukunsinti niya pati ang kapilyuhan nito and Liza developed this 'what-I-want-I-get' attitude.
Napaunat ng upo si Liza when her dad extended her two hands on her, grabbing her earphones and snatching her phone.
"Dad!" She protested at nagtangkang agawin ang cellphone mula sa pagkakahawak nito, but her dad gave her a warning look. Sa pagkakataong ito ay mababakas na ang galit sa mukha nito. Nakaramdam siya bigla ng takot at alanganing bumalik mula sa pagkakaupo sa sofa.
"Elizabeth," bagamat galit ay may pagtitimpi sa boses.
"D-Daddy..." gulat na naibulalas niya. Ngayon lang siya tinawag ng ama sa buo niyang pangalan. He must be furious. She wanted to cry all of a sudden, but she stopped herself.
"You are our only child, and we intend to provide a wonderful life for you. The future of our family's honor and prestige depends on you." anito at tinitigan ang anak. "I also need to express my deep disappointment in you now."
