RUBY'S POV
Odd people, mean students, and nasty surroundings. What is happening to kids these days? They are going wild, dumb and broke. Young and free but are fucked up and bullshits.
In comparison to what you'd assume in a supposedly polished environment, kids here appear to be bolder, with a rough, gritty attitude. Citadel's streets seem to have more courteous kids than the so-called wealthy students here.
Grabeng culture shock naman 'to. Nasampal pa ako at napagtripan, kakapasok ko palang eh. Tapos ngayon may masisinghot naman akong amoy ng sigarilyo? God, from what part of hell I'm in? Maling bansa ba ang pinagtataguan ko?
This is consuming every tiny bits of my social battery!
Rolds, have mercy.
"Kindly introduce yourself, miss?"
And, strangest of all, the teacher appears younger than me, and I must admit that she is lovely. But seriously, how did my first day here end up like this? It's like the unexpected keeps finding its way into my day, throwing me off guard. Ang daya talaga ni Rolds hindi man lang in-extend ang kaligayahan ko kagabi. Lahat talaga may kapalit, kung hindi ang kalayaan ko ang kasiyahan ko naman.
It feels like nothing's genuinely free in this corrupt society. It's frustrating. I can't help but feel completely out of place. Pero bakit pa ako magrereklamo? Kahit saan naman yata ako ilagay ng poong may kapal, puro hindi magaganda ang nangyayari sa akin. Sana pagdating ko sa kabilang buhay mararamdaman ko na ang matagal kong hinahanap.
Oh crap, enough of these sentiments.
Where were we?
Ahh, I'm discreetly trying to figure out who's responsible for this disgusting smell that irritates my olfactory nerves. Should I rip off their lungs for smoking at such young age? Do they even know how harmful secondhand smoke can be? I wonder if they're even aware of the impact it has on others.
Err, this is getting me drained early in the morning. I can manage not to smell it anyway, but it will cause some energy. Damn it. "Hi, I'm Rubianna Sinclair, nice to meet you." pilit ang ngiting pakilala ko. This situation feels more complicated than infiltrating a thousand military bases or even planting a bomb beneath Blood Putin's guarded villa in Russia.
Ruby...
"Pleasure to meet you as well, Sinclair. Take a seat in the vacant chair at the back row, please." I nod but before I could take a step, a guy from the back row blurts out rudely, his rage is obvious even from here.
"Miss Daki!" he called out, looking completely lost and flustered.
