Scene #2

Agnes's POV

I can't believe na papasok ako sa school na mukhang ganito. Kinuha ko ang phone and watched my face reflected on the screen of the phone, who is this?. Right now I'm standing in front of the new school my siblings were talking about. Precious Academy.

Ito na ata ang 11th time kong trumansfer sa ibang school. Well, the only reason I know kung bakit ako transfer ng transfer ay dahil sa mga stalkers, scandal photos, pati haters.

Today is going to be the first day of classes. I may be an actress but still I need to study. Of course may effect rin ang school sa schedule ko. I get to have photoshoots by dismissal time then my night work. Para naman sa mga shooting sa morning or afternoon, I have to skip class. Mahirap siya OO. Pero it's my job. Plus I have to keep my grades up.

Okay lang rin naman since I'm already used to it.

I marched to the notice wall, where they post the class list, and scanned for name and section. Year 4. Sabi ni kuya pati pangalan ko sa school ay binago. Isang lang rin naman ang clue ko at yun ang GRACE. In this place nobody will know me as ANI but only the principal and my homeroom teacher knows my true identity.

After searching i finally found it.

Agnes Grace Isaac. Class C. So family name lang rin naman pala ang binago ni kuya Isaac. Pinalitan niya sa pangalan niya. From Malaya to Isaac. Genius.

Pinuntahan ko na ang classroom ko sa building C.

Nang dumating ako sa classroom. Nobody bothered to look at me. This is new. Last time I entered my first day of class as ANI everyone were taking pictures. Welcoming me to they're class. Now. Naka-upo lang sila. Deadma lang.

The only thing that caught my attention were the side comments.

"Nakita niyo ba si ANI sa Mall?"

"Yeah! Ang ganda niya talaga!"

"Did you know na may bago na siyang release na album?"

"Gotta buy that!"

Napahinto sila at tumingin sa akin. I didn't notice that I was already close to they're desks.

"Ah sorry." patawad ko.

"Fan ka rin ni ANI?" tanong nila

Napatango naman ako sa tanong nila. Out of the blue they burst in to laughter. May sinabi ba akong mali?

"I wish we could let you join our fan group but I don't think you'll fit it." sabay nila akong tinignan from head to toe back to the head.

"Ganun ba? Okay lang naman wala rin po kasi akong interest na sumali"

"Don't worry we're sure that you won't even be accepted"

After that they resumed about talking to ANI. Talking about ME. Hindi ko na lang sila pinansin at umupo sa unang nakita kong vacant chair. I was completely surrounded by people who has no idea na ako si ANI.

Everybody screamed in their seats nang pumasok ang isang good-looking guy. From my vision he's about 6.5 feet tall. Matangos ang ilong. Flawless skin at medyo buffy(muscular). He looks like a model. Pero parang nakita ko na to siya somewhere. I think.

"Finch!" tawag ng mga babaeng nakausap ko minutes ago.

"Are you really serious about that photo?"

Photo? Picture? Nakita ko lang siyang ngumiti na parang ngumingisi? I don't know. I can't read his face. Basta sa tingin ko natutuwa na parang hinahambog.

"Patingin nga ulit?"

"OO nga! Baka inedit mo lang iyan sa photoshop."

Most of the class started rushing there way to this 'Finch' guy and only I was the one minding my own business. Kinuha ko na lang ang notebook kung asan nakatago ang script for my on-going drama.
