"A successful woman is one who can build a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at her."

She's standing infront of a mirror applying a red lipstick on her soft lips. She's elegant, fierce,confident and..... seductive. People look up to her as a successful woman. She's every man's dream. Who could even imagine her past?

"I'm back.." Angel said to herself and flaunted a loopsided smile.

That's right. The new girl is back. She is ready for her sweet revenge.

"Angel dela Bueva is back and you better watch out.." She said and grinned.

Pumunta siya sa balcony ng 2nd floor ng kanilang university, ang Mappleton High Academy, at pinagmasdan ang party sa baba. Everybody was having fun. She was glancing at the crowd and saw many familiar faces even though they are all wearing masks. How could she even forget the faces that made her turn into this? But one person caught her eye, Prince Constiago. She bitterly remembered her past.....

She was just sitting there with her hair covering her face. That was her normal routine inside the classroom.

She's Angel dela Bueva, a scholar in Mappleton High Academy, was always alone at the corner. Pakiramdam niya parati ay wala siyang lugar. She's like an innocent baby without a voice. Wala siyang magawa kundi sundin ang mga sinasabi ng tao sakanya. Do this and do that! She never had a choice!

Wala na siyang ganang mabuhay. A mother who doesn't even care about her,friends that are actually stabbing her at the back,people always watch her every move na para bang isang mali niya lang ay wala na siyang kwenta! There was this only person that kept her going, Prince Constiago. He was her childhood friend until maturity separated them. He grew up being confident about himself. He was never afraid, whereas she grew up otherwise.

"Hoy babae! Lutang kananaman, ah! Hahaha! Musta ang buhay? Well, nevermind, it's just a blank space, right? Hahaha!" Fiona said.

As usual,Angel didn't bothered to protest cause she was already numb hearing those hurtful things thrown against her. Wala ng epekto sakanya ang mga panlalait.

"If I were you, I already killed myself! You're so miserable my dear,go to sleep instead! Hahaha! I meant a heavy sleep, like a coma or just consider dying, I guess? Hahaha" Shiena laughed as she grabbed her bag and sat beside Fiona.

"Girls! Shhh! We don't talk to ghosts, don't we? And ahm, stay away from this girl before you catch her weirdness! Hahaha!" Harriet laughed as she pushed Shiena to stand up and sat between Fiona and Shiena.

Walang magawa si Angel kundi ang magkunwaring bingi. Kunwari wala siyang naririnig. She's already a pro with that game. Magkunwaring bingi at manhid para di na masaktan pa at magkunwaring bulag at tanga para di makita ang katotohanan. She suddenly felt a hand caress her shoulders.

"Wag kang makinig sakanila. They're mocking you cause they're just insecure."  Paul calmly said and displayed a smile.

Napailing nalang si Angel at napapikit. I can't do this no more, Angel thought. Lumiwanag ang kanyang mukha nang makitang pumasok si Prince. Tila gumaan ang pakirandam ni Angel. Prince walked towards her.

"Morning, Ms. Beaves! You look nice." He said and her heart took a big leap hearing those words from him. Well, he tells it everyday to her but still, it always felt new to her. He always call her Ms. Beaves and she calls him Mr. Constia taken from their surnames.

She placed a sweet smile on her lips and he smiled back and tapped her shoulder.

"Oh how I admire you." He said and her heart melted. He admires me. Well, it would be better if you'd say you love me. She thought.

She was about to reply but Harriet grabbed Prince's arm and launched her lips to his. Shocked, Angel wasn't able to move nor breathe. Pakiramdam niya, para siyang binagsakan ng langit,lupa at impyerno. She didn't expect to see this.

"Babe! Why are you talking to her?!" Harriet exclaimed with her eyebrow raised.

His eyebrows met and he glanced Angel. She was glad about what he did knowing that he disapproves whatever Harriet told him.

"Babe? Are you even listening to me?" Harriet blurted out and she glared at Angel.

"Yes. I'm sorry babe." Prince said and kissed Harriet on her forehead.

Biglang namutla si Angel sa kanyang narinig. Ang lalaking mahal niya, ang taong naging matagal na niyang kaibigan ay mas pinili ang ibang tao kesa sa kanya. Her heart broke into pieces. Her tears wanted to fall.

"He's not worth it. Forget him." Paul said as he carressed her back.

How could he? Paano niya nagawa sa akin toh? She thought. She took a deep breath and stood up grabbing her bag.

"Ooopss! Where are you going?" Harriet exclaimed as she walked towards Angel.

Inikutan niya lang si Angel at tumawa. Wala namang balak magsalita ni Angel dahil alam niyang wala namang mapupuntahan ang pag-uusap nila.

"I know why you're leaving. It's because of him! Am I right or am I right? Hahaha!" Harriet said while pointing out Prince who's still standing and confused.

Kumunot ang noo ni Angel. She wasn't sure about what Harriet meant.

"Oh please! Halata naman eh! Matagal kanang may gusto kay Prince pero hindi mo maamin! At kahit na aminin mo pa, alam mong hindi ka niya magugustuhan cause you're a damn loser! And you hate the fact that he chose me over you!" Harriet laughed as she threw those words to Angel.

"How pity of you. Darling, stop dreaming about Prince cause you're no princess! You're just an effed up donkey! Hahaha!" Harriet said and all of them laughed.

Nasaktan siya. Alam niya ang totoo,dati pa, pero mas masakit nga talaga na marinig mo sa iba.

"H-hindi totoo yan!" Angel protested.

She knew her tears were about to fall so she ran and hid. She drowned herself into tears and didn't care about anybody else but her.

Prince was still in a state of shock. Hindi niya alam kung ano gagawin niya. Hahabulin niya ba si Angel o hayaan nalang. He took a deep breathe and decided to look for her. He wasn't sure about his reasons but still he continued to search for his friend. He went to the library and hoped he'll find her. He heared a familiar sob and he was right,it was his childhood friend...
