Pagpasok ko palang sa gate ng school ay sobrang init ng pagtangap sa akin. In other words, gusto na ata nila akong mapuntang impyerno. Their eyes were daunting on me like I'm a criminal or what.

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit sila ganoon. I shrugged it off. That won't make my day any better.

Naglalakad ako dire-diretso ng marinig ang ko ang mahihinang bulungan sa paligid. She's maybe a whore. Agad napaangat ang tingin ko ng maulinagan iyon. I think it's a mistake choosing her. She don't deserve it. Bitch don't deserve the spot. Okay... are they talking about me?

I was about to continue walking when the large font written on the bulletin board catch my attention. Agad nangunot ang noo ko at binasa ang nakalagay doon. Nahawi naman bigla ang mga tao sa paligid.

The school congratulates the newly crowned princess AVERY VAUDEVILLE. The members, faculties, and students warmly welcome you as you go through your journey as part of the school royalties. Welcome newly held Indulgent Princess!

Nalaglag ang panga ko matapos mabasa iyon. What was that? Akala ko joke lang lahat kahapon. At talagang kailangang ipangalandakan? Kaya pala ganoon na lang ang tingin nila sa akin.

Bumuntunghininga ako ng malalim bago ko nilagpasan ang mga tao. I'm just securing my safety. Mamaya pagnagtagal pa ako doon ay may magpaasasinate na sa akin. I was about to enter my room when someone grab me from behind.

"That's not your room." Hindi ko namna maiwasang pagkatitigan ang gwapo nitong mukha. He looks fresh! Oh goodness! Baka kami talagang dalawang ang may forever. Char!

"Saan po? I mean okay lang sa akin kung dito pa rin ako." He inserted both of his hands in his pocket.

"But the school is not fine with it. Once you become a royalty, you have all the privilege you could wish for. Anyone in here wants that once in a lifetime opportunity. You are lucky." Mariin itong tumingin sa akin. "Sasamahan na kita sa room mo." 

"I don't think that would be necessary Sir Lee." Hindi naman ito sumagot at agad akong nilapitan at inakbayan.

"Ang pagsama ko sayo o ang pagsama mo sa mga royalties?"

"Can I say both? Hindi ako nandito para maging iba. Nandito ako para matutong tumayo sa sarili kong paa. If this privilege will be given to me then wala ng hirap. Wala na yung pagsisikap." Ngumisi naman ito at tumigil sa paglakad.

"You don't know what you are talking about. Once you become one of them, there's no turning back. You will never miss what you wanted. The thrill, excitement, misadventures, or even love, you will experience it all. Double than the ordinary. It will be fun Avery."

Hindi naman na ako nakasagot dahil sa kakaibang determinasyon sa boses nito.

Napatango na lamang ako.

Royalties room

"Bokya paabot ng chips." Utos ni Maurine habang tutok na tutok sa panunuod ng vampire diaries sa Laptop.

"Babe wala ng chips pwede namang ako na lang kainin mo tutal mas masarap naman ako." Nag-angat naman ito ng tingin at agad siniko si Zero.

"Mandiri ka nga!" Sumimangot naman ang lalaki at humalukipkip sa isnag tabi.

"Wag kayong masyadong sweet nagseselos ako." Suhestiyon ni Drimmer habang panay paninitig sa dalawa.

"Do you like Zero, Drimmy? OMG no way!" maarteng sigaw ni Maurine.
