The Queen Bee- COMPLETE

Chapter 1

MABILIS niya itong nilingon at tiningnan ng masama. 

Calliope pressed the button below the array of bottled waters inside the machine glass. Inilabas ng machine ang isang bottled water na agad na kinuha ni Calliope at inilahad sa kanya.

Nakangiting mukha ni Calliope ang mas lalong nagpa-init ng dugo ni Valerie.

Valerie whomped Calliope’s hand holding the bottled water real hard. Tumilapon ang bote sa sahig.

“No thanks.” Anya’t tatalikod na lamang nang hawakan nito ang kanyang braso.

“When are you going to stop treating me like this? Or rather, when are you going to stop blaming me for every little disappointments you get, Valerie?” tanong nito.

Pumiksi si Valerie at itinulak si Calliope na ikinasandal nito sa vending machine.

“That is until you disappear from my life! Get it?!” she yelled at her.

Dinig na dinig naman ng isang taong nasa loob ng nakasarang pinto ng Sports Organization Room ang usapan sa labas. Katapat ng nasabing silid ang isang vending machine. He heard the name Valerie mentioned and recognized who this Valerie the other girl was talking to; it’s the school’s Queen. Hindi niya ibig na mag-eavesdrop pero papalabas na siya ng pinto at pumigil lang sa kanya sa pagbukas ng pinto ang tunog ng kung ano na nahulog yata sa sahig. 

“It seems like our situation is not sinking in to you yet huh? After all these years?” ani Calliope.

“I refuse to accept! Because it’s disgusting!” 

“Whether you like it or not we’re sisters! No matter how you deny it! We are connected by blood.” Diin ni Calliope.

“Which is why I feel so sickened! I cannot be blood related to someone whose existence only came about because of a wench who slept with my father for his mone-,”

Panandaliang pumailanlang ang matinis na tunog na dala ng pag-dapo ng palad ni Calliope sa pisngi ni Valerie.

Heat crept to Valerie’s face at her anger intensifying while Calliope, half-regretted what she did covered her mouth with her hands. 

Hinding-hindi niya matatanggap na laitin ng kahit na sino ang kanyang ina. Pero nasaktan niya si Valerie… 

“I-I’m so sor-,”

Mabilis na pinulot ni Valerie ang bottled water na nasa sahig at binuksan saka binuhos ang buong laman sa ulo ni Calliope.

“Remember this day. You’ll pay for this. I’ll get back at you and make your life miserable until you regret being your mother’s daughter.” Banta ni Valerie matapos mabilis na umalis.

Napalunok si Calliope. All she ever wanted was to be close to Valerie. They’re sisters after all. The moment she found out she have a sister she was so happy. Never did she ever expect that being her sister would mean becoming the target of Valerie Montez’s wrath. 

When the listener thought it was already safe to come out, he caught sight of the back of the girl that the Queen had an intense conversation with; disappearing from his sight. 

“Sisters huh?”

Nahilot ni Troy ang sintido nang maramdaman niya ang pagkirot doon.

“Sabi ng iba ay hindi daw nila isusugal ang pera nila sa isang maliit na amusement park na pinapatakbo ng isang estudyante.” Ani Michael.
