"Princess? Hindi pa po ba kayo babangon?" Ci-An's tiny voice echoed inside my room.

I turned around to sleep more and hummed at her.

"Yeah.. mga two days pa akong matutulog."

I heard her squealed and stomp her feet.

"Iihhh, Miss naman eh. Ayaw niyo bang umattend sa party ni Princess Cleofe?"

"Party?" I asked, now with open eyes. Umagang-umaga ah?

"Uh-huh ibinigay ko po sa inyo yung invitation kahapon ah?"

I rolled my eyes and tried to sleep again. Yeah, right. Hindi ko naman binasa 'yon dahil nakatulog agad ako pag-uwi namin kahapon.

"Pupunta din po ata si Princess Luccia doon."

"Sino?" Sino na naman yang mga yan. Akala ko ba loner lang si Yvana.

"Kaibigan niyo po, Miss. Si Princess Luccia? Nakauwi na po siya galing España."

And I fucking have a friend?! Gusto ko pang matulog! Required ba na pumunta sa mga party na yan? Hindi naman ako sanay!

"Ano bang gagawin ko doon?"I asked in a sleepy voice. I heard her footsteps going to a different direction, towards my vanity table. She cough as I heard a tearing sound of a paper.

"Ang sabi po dito sa sulat..." she paused for a moment.

"....I'm inviting you Princesses to attend my small embroidery party and let's enjoy my plates of sweets with a cup of tea. I will be waiting at the school garden tomorrow morning. Blessings to you Princesses. -Princess Cleofe."

"Embroidery?"

"Yes, Miss. Well... I know you hate that but, I'm worried about your reputation. Diba po, last time na dinecline niyo ang invitation niya, nag-karoon kao ng issue na wala kayong manners?"

Umismid ako sa narinig. I'm also a Princess though. Kung iimbitahan ko ba silang makipag-saksakan at tinanggihan nila, mag-kakarumors din ba sila? Tss..

"Miss?" Pangungulit ni Ci-An, her voice was laced with worry and when I sat up to look at her, her eyes are now teary.

Bumuntong-hininga ako at napa-hilamos ng muka bago tumango.

"Prepare my bath."

Sunod-sunod agad siyang tumango at mabilis na pumunta sa banyo ko.

I sighed again. Pupungay-pungay ang matang tumitig sa kawalan. When it finally striked me, I silently shouted to let out my frustrations. Tahimik akong nag-dabog sa kama, afriad Ci-An might hear me.

Matutulog lang dapat ako buong araw eh! Mabuti pa noon walang party party dahil malayo ako sa baryo. I rolled my eyes and pouted. As if naman may mag-lalakas loob na i-invite ako sa gubat. Walang mang-kukulam na nag-paparty! Nag-tatanim lang ng patatas. Aissh kainis naman!

"Hindi mo ako sasamahan?" Kunot-noong tanong ko sa kanya. Anne nodded and smiled cutely at me.

"Hindi pwede ang kagaya ko doon, Miss. Aantayin ko nalang po kayo dito sa karwahe." She wave her hand and gestured at me to go.

Nag-aalinlangan pa akong tumingin bago tumalikod at pumunta sa garden. I really don't want to attend this party. I don't know... something just feels off.

Inalis ko ang aking brown cowgirl type hat. Ci-An prepared this dress for me. White long sleeves under this brown blazer dress. She even braid my hair and forced me to wear a lipstick. Hindi ko alam kung ako pa ba ang amo sa aming dalawa pero hindi naman ako maka-hindi sa kanya.
