NIKE VICTORIA MANZANARES

I'm in a very good mood and was trying to be pleasant to everyone when suddenly I received an annoying text from my sister, telling me to straighten my mind if I still want to have our father's mansion sitting at the edges of Andalucia, Spain. The mansion was written as part of my inheritance on our father's last will and testament but it will only be given to me if I get a life.

I snorted, I have a life. What life do they still want? I'm already months away from graduation and then I'm ready to get my prize after all of the shits I've been through. They can't take that away from me!

My phone beeped again, I got another text but this time, it's from my grandfather. I pressed my lips as I read his text.

From: The Punisher 😑
I'm sending someone to watch you, my dear Victoria. Now, be a good girl and don't do anything funny to her or else you will see what you don't want to see. Love lots. ❤️

What's with the emoji at the last part? Si Adonis na naman siguro ang inutusan ng lolo na mag-text sa akin and for sure, he revised it again. Tsk, that old man really knows how to punish me. Malaki na ako pero binibigyan pa din ako ng magbabantay sa akin. I can't believe he really did get me a bodyguard!

I thought he was just bluffing because he's always like that. He just warns me and at the end, he'll forgive me. Ah, yes, maybe he'll forgive me tomorrow. Hindi naman niya ako matitiis dahil ako ang paborito niya. And for that bodyguard, I'll make sure he's going to quit just within the day.

"Who was that, Queen?" My brow raised, who is this peasant again? Her make up is a mess. Hindi pantay ang kilay niya and her lipstick didn't go with her unexplainable face. "Let's just party tonight and have fun with the boys."

"Yes!" Another ugly duckling agreed. Who are these people? They have the audacity to sit beside me. And where's my bitches? "I've heard Jared is going tonight."

I cringed on what she said, what the hell? Trying hard sa pagiging malandi kaya tumayo na ako at iniwan sila. I'm on the verge of bitching out because my mood is already ruined. But I need to calm myself, hindi puwedeng masira nang tuluyan ang araw na ito dahil lang sa kapatid at lolo ko. The night's still hours away and I'm yet to indulge myself.

The queen should never be bothered.

Uuwi nalang ako. Wala namang klase mamayang hapon dahil may activity mamaya ang OSAS na hindi ko malaman kung ano ang purpose. They've been holding a symposium about teen pregnancy and HIV for over two years now. Naririndi na akong makinig sa paulit-ulit na sinasabi nila. I mean, can't they do something more productive than that?

Malapit na ako sa village namin nang biglang pumutok ang gulong ng kotse ko. What the fuck! Nataranta ako kung saan ako liliko. Nagpagewang-gewang ang sasakyan sa gitna ng daan and I can't control it, fuck it! Sa sobrang taranta ko, I stepped hard on the brakes and closed my eyes. I think I'm going to die!

"Hoy, buksan mo 'yang bintana mo! Buksan mo!" What was that? Unti-unti kong binuksan ang mga mata ko. Oh, thank the gods! I laughed hard as I checked myself for injuries. Thank God that there's none! I'm so freakin' alive, yes! "Buksan mo, aba!" Then I heard a loud thud, may kumakatok pala sa bintana ko. Ibinaba ko ng marahan ang bintana ng kotse. "Ang laki-laki ng kalsada tapos pinili mo pa kaming sagasaan! Aba, kung—"

"S-sorry, pumutok kasi ang gulong, eh." hinging paumanhin ko sa babaeng nakatayo sa gilid ng kotse.

"Ay, flat nga." sabi niya. "Don't worry, Miss Beautiful. Leave it to me." She beamed at me and then she checked the tire. Kumunot ang noo ko, she was wearing a worned out baggy Metallica shirt, a faded Levi's jeans and dirty Chucks that struck a suspicion in me. At may kasama siyang lalaki na nakatingin sa akin na parang may binabalak na masama. Peasants. "Ah, Miss Beautiful, do you have a spire tire?"
