UNDERCOVER

I: Meet the Isaiah's

Annalise's Point of View

Kapag talaga hindi maganda ang gising mo sa umaga, tingin ko magtutuloy-tuloy na ang kamalasan mo sa buong araw. Ang sama na nga ng panaginip ko, naiwan ko pa ang ibang libro ko tapos uulan pa talaga habang papunta ako sa MLU?

Tumakbo ako patungo sa classroom namin kung saan ang mga sikat at mayayamang estudyante ay nabibilang. Siguro, maliban sa akin. They're all rich. And when I say rich, I mean those who belong in the top 1% richest in the country. Nang makarating ako sa harap ng classroom, hinabol ko muna ang aking hininga bago pumasok sa loob.

Naabutan ko sa loob ang tatlo na pinakatahimik sa klase. Paris, Siobhan, and Achilles are seen sitting like they have their own world. Nag angat ng tingin si Siobhan kaya nakita ako nito but instead of smiling, she rolled her eyes at me like I am some filthy can she saw on the garbage. Hindi na ako nagtaka o naoffend doon, Siobhan Greta West is known for her sassy and means attitude. Wala itong kaibigan dahil halos lahat ay kinakalaban, she grew up in a wealthy family and was spoiled kaya siguro ganiyan ang ugali. 

Dumeretso ako sa upuan ko na katabi ni Paris. I greeted her and she smiled but that was it. If Siobhan is known as mean, Paris Constance Massouchanteau is known as the most silent in class. Siguro sa isang araw, mabibilang mo lang ang mga salitang binibitawan niya. Mabait naman si Paris, friendly pero hindi madaldal. She is also willing to help those who need it, kailangan mo lang talagang pakisamahan ang pagiging tahimik niya. 

I looked at Achilles who's sitting on the other side of the room. Nakikinig ito sa music gamit ang earphones niya at nakapikit. Achilles Cashmere Nycolas Tsyplakov is one of the campus crushes. He plays archery and also the vice president of the student body kaya nakakadagdag appeal talaga, idagdag pa ang nakakahumaling nitong mukha. Achilles grew up in a foster home but he found his way to be on top and save himself. Perfect na sana kung hindi lang sobrang sungit. He is also heartless. Ang daming nagcoconfess sa kaniya ngunit lahat nauwi sa pag iyak dahil sa agresibong paraan nito sa pagrereject. 

Napaiwas ako ng tingin kay Achilles nang bumukas ang pintuan ng room. From there, I saw Brigitta and Octavius walking hand in hand. Napangiwi ako sa dalawa. Brigitta Micaela Angeles and Octavius Dario Phoenix are the most famous couple in this school. Sino ba namang hindi makakakilala sa dalawang 'to? They're both from one of the wealthiest families in the country and they've been together since junior high school started. Magkatabi silang naupo sa likod ko kaya hinarap ko sila at binati. Micaela greeted me with a good morning and Octavius did too. 

Natigil ang pag-uusap naming tatlo ng may tumabi sa akin. Paris was sitting on my right kaya naman sa left side tumabi ito. Napatingin ako rito and I saw Seven, my boyfriend. Seven Cree Emerson is my boyfriend but no one knows except us because we wanted it to be a secret. Well, he came from a rich family and I don't think they'll like me for their son since I am not wealthy enough and I don't belong in their social circle. I greeted him a good morning like what I did to others and he did the same. 

Bumalik ako sa pakikipag usap kina Micaela at Octavius at nakisali na rin si Seven but we were interrupted when the door opened and closed loudly. Rush Zyair Marshall was the reason of the loud thud from the door. He was walking confidently towards his seat and before sitting, he kicked a chair upward to show off his new shoes. Napairap ako rito, Rush is known for being arrogant. Hindi lang ito mayabang sa mga gamit pero mayabang ito sa lahat ng bagay. He thinks the world is only revolving around him. He is a member of the basketball team with Octavius but he plays better than anyone kaya ganiyan ugali. 

I looked at the door and waited for someone to come in dahil alam kong may dadating base sa maingay na music. Hindi pa man nakakapasok, alam ko agad na si Marcellus ito. Ginagawa niya ito tuwing umaga, ang pagpapatugtog ng music gamit ang speaker. Hindi ko rin alam kung anong trip ng isang 'to pero pinabayaan ko na. Ayos lang naman sa akin but people who enjoy silence like Paris and Achilles are evidently pissed at him every time he does this. Marcellus Lake Hilton is known as the loudest person in the class. Kapag kasama mo siya para kang mabibingi sa dami ng kwento nito at hindi ata nauubusan ng laway. 

Lastly, the class president Ava Euphrasia Sullivan went inside the classroom. Almost everyone greeted her except for Siobhan and Achilles. Ava is the most friendly and everyone can't keep on hating her, except for Siobhan, of course. May hatred ata 'yan sa lahat kahit walang rason. Bumati si Ava sa lahat at nakangiting umupo sa kaniyang upuan. Kung titignan mo si Ava mula ulo hanggang paa, iisipin mong isa itong anghel na bumaba sa langit para ayusin ang magulong mundo. Ava looked and acts like an angel, minsan nga napapaisip ako kung may flaw ba 'tong isang 'to.

She's perfect and maybe that was the reason why some were having a hidden hatred towards her. 

Inalis ko ang tingin kay Ava at nagsulat na lang ng pangalan ko sa notebook dahil wala akong magawa. After writing, I stared at my name. Annalise Talulla Finley, ang nag iisang student sa klase na nabibilang sa high class. I sometimes think that I don't belong here, in the rich world where money, fame, and power are the basis of your being. Pero ayos lang, I can adjust well and I have friends. I smile and joke a lot so I don't have enemies in here. 

Few minutes of staring blankly at my notebook, the door opened again but instead of a student, our teacher went inside the classroom and our day went on.
