"Are you ready sweetheart?" Mom asked me. I just finished getting dressed, and my mom is the one who's very excited. Thea asked me to accompany her sa isang birthday party ng family friend nila na nagkataon na nag aaral din sa SCIA, kaya ng malaman ng celebrant na close kami ni Thea ay ininvite na din ako nito. Ayoko pa sana pero Mom said na I need to socialize with our circle, and I was trained to attend social functions because of our family's status. Mom allowed me to wear a channel dress, most of the time kasi gusto nya na ang isinusuot ko ay ang mga designs na gawa nya. But today is an exception, I am wearing a cream mini dress na humapit sa katawan ko, long sleeve pero see through kaya mukhang nakatube dress ako. Pero sa harapan lang mukhang conservative dahil half bare back ang style nito. And medyo daring ito sa panlasa ko. No one would even think na I'm only sixteen years old, and the worse part is kinakabahan ako na baka marami akong schoolmates na umattend sa party, for sure magugulat silang lahat sa outfit ko since nasanay silang makitang nakafaded jeans and simple tank top ako and without make up. Ngayon sabi nga ni mommy naka-dress to kill daw ako, she even applied light make up on my face.
"Mom, are you sure na ok lang ang hitsura ko? Hindi ba ako mukhang pupunta sa Oscar awards" nakatingin sa salamin kong sabi, ang Crimson na nakikita ko sa salamin ay ibang iba sa tunay na Crimson na simple lang. because honestly, I felt like I'm looking to the real daughter of Louie Madrigal, I'm looking to the future heiress of Madrigal Companies, to the future me- Cadillac Venice Madrigal and not to the simple girl named Crimson.
"Sweetie, you look fine, no- you look gorgeous! I'm sure marami ang mahahalina sa beauty mo sweetie" natatawang sabi ni Mommy.
"Mom!" nanlalaking mata kong sabi.
"O-M-G ! is that really you Crimson?" namamanghang tanong nito.
"Don't over react Thea, you yourself look fabulous!" nakangiti kong sabi. Nakasuot ito ng red halter dress na hapit sa katawan nito, naka red lips din ang drama ito. Nasa harap na kami ng malaking gate ng birthday celebrant, nagpahatid lang kami pareho sa mga drivers namin at nagkasundong dito na nga lang magkita sa labas ng gate.
"Maybe you're right, I look Fabulous but you look drop dead gorgeous, pag nagtabi tayo hindi ako mapapansin, cause all the eyes will fall on you. I've seen you a hundred times sa magazine wearing different gown and dresses but it didn't give you justice, plus the fact na ngayon ka lang nagpakadaring ng ganyan! Why, Aphrodite will pale in comparison with you my dear friend". Nakangusong saad nito na hindi ko alam kung nagbibiro ba o ano.
"Seriously Thea, magbobolahan lang ba tayo dito? Why don't we just go inside and-"
"And test my theory!" nakangiting wika nito. napapailing nalang akong lumakad papasok ng gate kasama nito. I promised myself to keep a low profile, pero dahil sa event na ito ay masisira yun. Pero ok lang naman siguro since ngayon lang ito and it's not as if invited si... ang crowd ni Blue dito. I really hope not..
