I was looking outside of the window, I was wondering if I could go and tour around. Pero, I guess I can't. My dad and I had an agreement, that when I turn 17 I could go outside this house and study in a school. Hindi naman sa hindi nila ako kayang pag-aralin, they are just protecting me. I never went to a school; I just studied here at home. My parents hired a professional teacher who will teach me what is being taught in school.
By the way, I'm louise Mendrez. I'm sixteen years old and turning seventeen next week. My parents are Diane Mendrez and Zach Mendrez. My mom is a fashion designer, sa pagkakaalam ko sikat siya siya and when she design a dress its really awesome. My dad owns hotel and it has several branches all over the world, meron ding mga Malls. Oo nga pala, I have one sister. She's just six years old at super duper cute! Her name is Paula Mendrez.
"Good morning, Anak!" My mom greeted me and I greeted her back.
"Good morning din po." Then I smiled at her. I was shocked when somebody covered my eyes. "Hulaan mo kung sino ako, haha."
"Pau?" Then she removes her hand into my eyes. She's smiling so wide, and I can't resist. I pinch her cheeks.
"Aw-Ate-Machakit" Haha. She's adorable.
I saw mom bid goodbye. Maybe, she will go somewhere and she wants me to take care of my sister.
"Can I sleep with you later, Ate?" I just nodded as she jumps upon my bed. Haha, baka masira yung kama ko. I hugged her tight; I love my sister so much.

Today is my birthday, and I'm so excited! Pwede na akong pumasok sa school after this. "Are you ready?" My mom asked me.
"Yeah" Then we moved out of my room I wore an elegant dress, of course made by my mom. Also, the party is a masquerade one. I saw a huge crowd as expected, halos lahat ng nandito kaibigan nila Mommy. Teka, hindi pala halos. Lahat pala, I don't even know them. Haha.
"I would like all of you to meet my daughter, Louise!" Hindi nila ako syempre makita ang mukha ko, dahil nga masquerade party ito. 😑
Nagpalakpakan sila at I don't know why but I'm starting to feel uncomfortable here. All eyes on me, shocks! >///< 🙊🙈🙉
My dad gave me a look saying, YOUR-TURN-TO-SPEAK. Ugh.😑😑
"Everyone thank you so much for coming in here I hope you'll enjoy the party." May dad gave me a smile, I think I did it.🙌🏼👏👌🏻 Maiksi man haha pero sabi naman ni dad kahit yan lang okay na.

Nandito ako ngayon sa garden, staring at the sky. The stars are twinkling and it's beautiful. I can feel the cold air the wind is blowing breezy. Today is the last time I can see the stars in this view. Kasi nga diba, I'll be heading to town tomorrow morning. Many emotions are flowing through my veins. Kaba, tuwa, takot at kung ano-ano pa.
I heard footsteps nilingon ko at nakitang naka-mask siya, of course. Kung tatanungin niyo ako kung suot ko yung mask ko? Yup, it's still here on my face. Hindi naman cover na cover yung mukha niya, kaya I can see his smile. He takes a sip from his wine and greeted me.
"Happy birthday Louise"
"Thank you." I retorted.
Tinanggal niya yung mask niya and I can't deny that he's handsome...
"Are you enjoying the party?" I asked.
"To be honest I'm not really into party like this. I don't really go to noble parties. Mom just insists that's why I'm here." It made me chuckled, He's honest.
"Haha. Actually, I also don't go to parties." I literally don't go to parties.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm really not into it." He smiled playfully.
He took out his phone, so I guess I can go now. I leave him without saying anything, how rude of me. Haha.

It's only five in the morning, but here I am wide awake. Excited na ako, yeah! Inayos ko na yung kama ko at inimpake na ang damit ko. Napagpasyahan ko na humiga muna sa kama at magcellphone. I'll just check my new home and school.
As I explore I saw the library, it's really awesome! The quadrangle is huge and so on. My dad manage this school really well... Oo nga pala, did I mentioned my dad is the owner of the school? Mahilig talaga siya sa business.
I went to the bathroom and did my rituals. Pagkatapos ng one hour natapos ako ng pag-aayos sa sarili ko.
"Hindi talaga ako excited." Bulong ko sa sarili ko.
"Hindi nga halata" I know that voice. Matthew? Yeah I'm right.
"Hey, you're early?" Sabi ko tsaka niya ako tinawanan, hala ka.
"Yeah, I'm going to say good bye to you. Alam ko naman kasi na hindi ka na magpapaalam sa akin, how rude of you."
"Goodbye? We'll be in one school then you're saying goodbye?"
It made him smile. Siya si Matthew Wale, anak nina Michelle at Ace Wale. Kasabay ko siyang lumaki, actually siya nga lang ang kaibigan kong ka-age ko.
"I didn't saw you in the party last night?"
"Oh, I'm sorry something came up." Mag-aaral ako sa pinag-aaralan niya. Edi may kaibigan na ako kaagad. Kaya lang, syempre may kaibigan din yun dun kaya kailangan kong magkaroon ng kaibigan. I want to have many friends!
"Oh well, where is Aunt Mich?"
"Nasa Europe, she's having a business meeting right now." I just nodded. Nagkwentuhan lang kami at lumabas papuntang garden. We're just drinking some soda and eating crackers.
"Today is the day! Is my house near at your place?"
"Sure it is, also as far as I remember kaya mong lakarin." Kaya palang lakarin e, bakit pa siya mag-g-goodbye sa akin? Trip neto?
"Umm.. Matt, can you do me a favor?" I asked.
"Tell me first." He demanded before he sips on his drink. "Don't tell anyone we know each other. Like we're this close, pl--" He cuts me off.
"No, I can't do that. Kapag wala kang kakilala doon baka apihin ka nila. They're annoying brats!"
"Ok fine." Gusto ko ngang gawin yung nakikita ko sa palabas e. Yung bida na mabait na sobrang friendly and all of her classmates loves her.
"Don't do something stupid, you'll just hurt yourself." I know in that kind of voice, there's so much concern. Ugh.
Kahit na ganoon, I need to be happy! I'll be leaving some hour by now and-- and basta!
