The Last Song

Chapter I

[Katie's POV]

@MissFacts: "Let's all admit it, Cyrus Wendell Smith sucks!"

I hit the Tweet button. There! My tweet was posted in which my uhm... 25 followers can probably see or ignore.

I don't really care about that much, as long as I could express my distaste towards that entitled "singer".

And yes, call me basher, bitter, insecure, sore loser, call me any names for all I care! I hate that egoistic Smith and ruining him is all that matters to me.

I closed my laptop and put it on my bedside table, stretched on my bed and made a big, soundful yawn before I drifted to sleep.

[Cywen's POV]

"So if you'll still go on I'll understand..would you give me something just to hold on to.." I sang some few lines of the song I'm going to release this year.

I can't really believe that I would go this far in my career, it just started when a talent scout discovered me and offer me a place in music industry when I was singing with my high school band.

I grabbed the offer immediately. First, music is my passion. I love performing! 

Second, it pays me a good sum of money, in that way, I can pay my own bills without asking for my parents. Somehow, that gives me the satisfaction of being able to afford my own living independently.

However, I won't be performing for awhile, I have decided to go back to school and at least finish my own degree. 

So this year, I'm going to be a first year college in Philippine Arts Academy, the country's elite school for Arts.

Oh, just thinking about my fans seeing me in the school ground kinda thrills me and of course it hella scares me too!

[Katie's POV]

One week na lang, pasukan na ulit pero excited ako pumasok sa Philippine Arts Academy, gusto ko talagang mahasa yung kakayanan ko sa pagkanta. Aware naman ako na maganda yung boses ko pero kapag hawak ko na yung mikropono, di na lumalabas yung tinig ko sa kaba.

I fervently hope na ma overcome ko talaga yung takot ko at naniniwala akong makakatulong sa'kin ang pag enroll sa PAA.

Pagkatapos kong mag breakfast, dumiretso ako sa kwarto ko para i check ang timeline ko, makikibalita kung ano na ang ganap sa mundo ngayon.

By the way, if you might be wondering nasaan parents ko, nandun sa States nagtatrabaho kasama ang half-sister ko, hindi naman sa ayaw ko sa kanya, in fact there are a lot of times na I tried crossing the gap between us but obviously, she certainly doesn't like me which I don't know why. 

And yes, wala akong kasama ngayon, yung caretaker namin sa bahay twice a week lang pumupunta sa bahay para maglinis at maglaba mg mga damit ko. Tuesday and Saturday ang schedule ni Manang Tess, gayunpaman, kahit iilang beses ko lang siyang nakikita sa isang linggo, siya ang naging magulang at karamay ko tuwing may problema ako.

So back to what I am doing right now, ayun nag open ako ng twitter ko and nag check ng notifications.

I see replies from my last tweet.

REPLY #1:

@prettyme: "Someone is bitter to our Prince Cywen yucks! I bet you are sooo ugly"

Okay, ugly daw ako at bitter, tsk, nag realtalk lang kaya ako. Duh.

REPLY #2:

@Cywen_Lover: "Wow maka sucks ka ate kung sabagay di mo kayang kumanta katulad ni Prince Cywen. #RealTalk"

Wow! Di daw ako marunong kumanta at may pa hashtag pa siyang realtalk, hello ako yung nang realtalk kaya.

REPLY #3:

@myPrinceCywen: "Hay naku, if I know girl, nagpapansin ka lang kay Cywen! #StyleMoBulok"

Ano daw? I  obviously hate the guy so how on earth would I make papansin to that entitled singer? Fantards.

At sino ba yang Cywen na yan para sambahin nila na parang diyos. Yes, he already produced bunch of sold-out albums, thanks to her "fantards". 

Fine, maganda ang boses niya and magaling din siyang sumayaw, but when he sings, may kulang, walang emotion. He can't give those beautifully written songs with justice and yan ang rason kung bakit ayaw ko sa kanya.

I left my notifications and went to my newsfeed, unlike many bashers, ako yung basher na may utak and yes, I'm claiming that I am a basher to that Cywen, a brainy basher.

I follow his official fan accounts para makasagap ng balita about that guy para may ground yung mga tweets ko.

I read some tweets that he'll be releasing another album this year..blah blah blah. Feeling talaga ng Cyrus Wendell na yun.

I scanned my eyes over my timeline when a tweet caught my eye.

@CywenSmithOFCL: "Prince Cywen will be going to college this year as freshman at PAA"

I kept on re-reading that tweet for over twenty times hoping that it was just my imagination.

But hell no, I pinched myself already and yun pa rin ang nababasa ko.

Hell no! Is this another pakulo of his team?

I tweeted @MissFacts: "Someone I hate so MUCH is going to be my schoolmate. #BadLuck"
