CHAPTER ONE: SHE’S ONE OF THEM
“I’m not wearing any glasses. My dress is not off-fashioned but I’m a NERD. I’m a certified socially awkward and being constantly bullied and backstabbed by everyone. I guess I will be stuck in this nightmare for the rest of my high school life until I hear the sound of her heels. And by that moment, my world turns literally upside down.”
-Jewel Anne Sanzenin
Nanginginig ang buong kalamnan ko.
Sino ba naman ang hindi? Ako mismo ang mag-iinterview sa late transferee sa school namin. Konting palya lang, ang pangit na naman ng impression ng mga tao sa akin.
Teka? Ano ba naman ang bago doon? Noong freshmen ka palang, Jewel, sentro ka na…Sentro ng pangbu-bully. Bakit ba kasi nag-iinit kaagad ang mata ng mga tao dito kapag may nerd sa paligid.
I hate interacting with too many people. It’s because I don’t have the energy to do so.
I’m not updated to any celebrity’s life. It’s because I do believe to the word, ‘privacy’.
I’m obsessed in collecting and reading Classic British books. It’s because Mr. Darcy is my fantasy.
Why don’t they just get it? Hindi ako tulad ng ibang elites dito na handang magpaka-plastic para maging sikat. Hindi ko naman ikakayaman ‘yan, di ba? Pero sana lang, kahit papano, irespeto naman nila ako kung sino ako.
Hay naku, Jewel! Keep on dreaming. Hinding-hindi iyan mangyayari.
Tumingin ako sa orasan. It’s 7 am. Takte! Sa sobrang kaba ko, napaaga tuloy ako ng pasok. Leshe! Jewel naman, huwag ka ng tumingin dyan! Mas kinabahan ka pa tuloy ngayon.
Hindi rin kasi basta-basta iyong mai-interview ko. Isipin niyo nga! Napatalsik niya ang isa sa mga members ng CHROME via pre-assessment palang? Grabe! Kung tutuusin, ilang taon din pinaghirapan ng maraming elites dito para maging CHROME.
Tapos siya? Within 30 minutes, voila! SHE’S ONE OF THEM.
Siguro, ganoon talaga siya kagaling.
Tiningnan ko ulit ang papel na naglalaman ng mga basic information tungkol sa babaeng iyon.
