Chapter 1:
A Nobody, LITERALLY
NAVEEN
"NAVI!!"
Agad akong napalingon sa may bandang kanan ko ng marinig ko ang malakas na boses ni Hera.
That girl really knows how to attract the attention of everyone.. Not that, she doesn't have anyone's attention from the very beginning.. Actually, lagi naman napapalingon sa kanya lahat ng estudyante ng paaralan namin.
She's a Celebrity..
Like me.
"Hera, you are too loud." Wika ko ng maabutan niya ako.
She rolled her eyes at me.
"Yeah-yeah.." tanging sagot niya tapos todo ngiti niya.
"What's with that face, Hera?" Nguso ko sa mukha niya na parang timang. She's smiling from ear to ear.
"Uh? Beauty?" Sagot niya. This time, ako naman ang tumirik ang mata. This gurl..
"Yeah-yeah" sagot ko, mimicking her.
"Hera! Naveen! Papicture naman!" Hiling ng isa naming school mate. Nagkatinginan kami ni Hera. Yeah, we are famous. Hera is a Celebrity as I said earlier. She's an Actress. While I'm a famous model and brand ambassador of a big clothing brands. My family owns a cosmetic company that are very well known on our country and as well as international. Many people call me as a Nepo baby. But I hushed them all with my talent and aura in Modeling.
As I said earlier, Hera and I are both a Celebrity in this School.
I simply smile at the camera. Ganoon din si Hera. Binati niya din ang nagpapicture na iyon. Nagkamustahan pa, parang fan meeting lang.. ganon.
Hera is good on her job. She's always been like that. Hindi lang siya nagpapapicture. Talagang kinakausap niya pa ang fans niya.
Ako naman, I don't really speak to them. I don't want to be rude.. pero hindi lang ako comfortable sa ganoong bagay.
I just waited Hera na matapos na at umalis na ang fan na iyon.
Agad ko ng hinigit si Hera paalis dahil sure akong mas marami pa ang lalapit samin. We simply say hi to our other fans.
Buti na lang, they respect our privacy naman at nilubayan na kami.
"Nav, I'm just so happy! Uuwi na ang kapatid ko! Mapapakilala ko na siya sayo. Sa wakas."
Ahh.. kaya pala todo ngiti niya kanina. Mayroon kasi siyang kapatid na nasa ibang bansa nag-aral. Noong naging magkaibigan kami ni Hera, di pa iyon umuuwi dito sa Pilipinas. Kaya never ko pa siya na meet.
"Good for you, then. You miss him so much, right?"
Tumango siya sakin.
"Yeah. Super."
Malapit na kami sa classroom ng may humigit saking braso. Nagsalubong ang kilay ko ng nilingon ko siya.
"Mag-usap tayo, Naveen." Mariin nyang wika.
Aalma na sana ako ngunit bigla niya akong hinila paalis sa lugar.
