Kierra's POV
As we all were staring into space a few minutes later, the Plasma TV turned back on and flashed Rio back on the screen, "Bago ko makalimutan, pinapaalala ko na ang paglilista ng mga pangalan ng mga babae ay magaganap sa Ball Room, lahat ng mga babaeng nasa 16-17 gulang ay inaatasang pumanhik doon ngayon din. Salamat." And with that the TV flashed back to its lifeless, black state.
We all awoke to Sir Alba's cough, "Well, you heard him. Go," All the girls scrambled to fix their things. A few had already darted to the Ball Room (Here, an order is a order so practically, we don't have a so-called cliche "bad boy" here.) I started to walk away but a few steps later I turned around and waved to Angie saying, "Bye Angie! See you later...." I said. As you all know, Angie is an "Accelerated Student" so she's still 15 years old... fortunately for her. She's a smartie pants but she's not a nerd tho.
There are no nerds here in our school or a "Queen Bee" or a "Bad Boy" or a "Prince Charming" or a *ehem~ehem* (I'm sorry for saying this) s-lut or a Human "Barbie Doll" or the so-called "Popular Group" or the "Snotty Brats" or a "Goodie-Two-Shoe" or a "Little Miss Perfect" or the Overlly dramatic Ms. President or a---- Okay, that is enough Kierra. Ugh. Basically, everyone is at peace here. People hates no one. Everyone's true to themselves and no one brags about what he or she has or is. We don't strive to be "Perfect." But we definitely never ever strive to be "Impefect." We are taught the that we should always be ourselves but never overdo anything. If we are quirky, we are always told to be never too quirky. If you know what I mean.
Anyways, in Royalty High, we are taught the value of being at peace and being nice. When you enroll here, you have to go thorugh this test that a girl/guy (depending on your gender) is supposed to intimidate you and you have to deal with it peacefully and at the end become friends. There is a camera there and the "judge" will determine if you're in or not. This happens when you pass the first test which is a Written Exam dedicated purely to Academics then the Values Exam comes in.
The only disadvantage to this almpost perfect school is that because everyone's so nice, (W/o overdoing it to the extent of looking fake) the school's ultimately booooring. There are no ocassional cat fights like most of these cliche teenage high school movie that Gina usually watched (and to think she's only 11. Ha. How ironic.)
Anw, ng dahil sa kadaldalan ko, narating ko na ang Ball Room. Pagkapasok ko, sa tansya ko may about 8O girls here. (Kasabay ng pagpasok namin ay ang paglista ng name namin sa isang listahan na finacilitate ng isang teacher.) Hindi pa ito ang lahat kasi may pumapasok pa. A little while later, nasa mga 9O na kami at wala ng ibang pumapasok. Naghintay ng ilang minuto si Queen Felisita (siya ang personal na mag-oorient sa amin) bago magsimula kasi baka may humabol. 5 minutes on, nagdecide na siyang magsimula.
"MAGSITAYUAN PARA SA PAGPASOK NG KAMAHALAN...SI REYNA FELISITA," Sigaw ng isang Usher. Naglinya ang mga sundalo sa center aisle at nag-saludo na. (Ang "saludo" nila ay parang mga firm and strong moves lang ng kanilang espada.) At sa gilid nakalinya ang mga nagplaplay ng Trumpet. Gets niyo? Basta ganun. Tumayo na kami as a sign of respect and bowed about a 90 degree angle. Charot! LOL. Pero seriously, ganun. And we are not allowed to look up.
Ng tumigil na ang pagpla-play ng Trumpet, doon pa kami tumayo ng maayos. Nakita namina ng may edad na pero maganda na si Queen Felisita. She scanned the room once and gave a slight nod. That means we can sit down now and so we did. Duh, alangan naman patuloy pa rin kami nakatayo?
Si Queen Felisita ay medyo old na kasi siya ang ina ng kasalukuyang Reyna. Bale she's the "Royal Grandma" kumbaga, pero ina-address pa rin siya as "Queen." Nakaka-intimidate siya at napaka-strict niya kaya walang umiimik sa whole room.
"Magandang umaga sa inyo mga dalaga," Panimula niya. Nag-start na siyang mag-orient. Pareho lang naman sa sinabi ni Rio pero mas detailed lang ang sakanya, "Reminder: Ang klase ng Princess Academy ay magsisimula next month, specifically sa Ika-15 ng Oktubre, 2O13. Iyon lang, sige magsibalik na kayo sa mga klase ninyo." HInitay muna namin na tumango siya bago kami dahan-dahang naglalakad palabas ng tahimik. Ayaw kasi ng Reyna na mawalan kami ng poise at bigla na lang tumayo at magchikahan pagkatapos.
We're far from Ear Shot na nung nagsimulang magchikahan ang mga babae.
"OMG! Excited na talaga ako!"
"Ang galing-galing!"
"Maganda pa rin si Queen Felisita ano? Pagkatapos ng... ilag tao na nga ba?"
"Hmm. Pagkatapos ng 5O years."
"Tama."
"Haynaku! Ayaw ko talaga nito!"
"Waste of time. Tsk."
Nag-shrug lang ako at nagmadaling pumunta sa Food Court. Lunch na kasi. Pumasok na ako sa dalawang nagsisilakihang pinto. I scanned the area, looking for Angie.... And there! I found her!
I run-walked to the table and sat down, "Hey!"
"Hey! So how did it go?"
"Okay lang naman, medyo masungit lang si Queen Felisita... as always." Tumawa kami ni Angie.
"Tara na nag! Kanina pa kita hinihintay e! Gutom na ako!" Nag-pout si Angie.
"Sige nga! Ililibre na lang kita ng paborito mong Buko Shake!" Pagkasabi ko ng "Buko Shake" agad lumiwanag ang mukha niya at siya pa ang humila sa akin! LOL.
Ngumiti na lang ako sa kakulitan niya.
