Transformed Inside Out

1st Transformation

Chapter 1: He's so annoying, arrogant and he irritates me!

Honey was already seated in one of the chairs in the right front row, particularly the last chair situated near the window where she can see the rear garden of their classroom.

The classroom is yet to be packed by some of her classmates and the instructor has not yet arrived. By an early notice of the current situation, she put earphone on each side of her ears and scribbled through her phone to play some calming music, as though it is her daily routine whenever she's bored or kinda like to listen to variety of songs.

  When she already picked one and clicked play on it, she moved her chair to face it into the window, gracing the beautiful landscape of the garden.

Her thoughts swam as she remembered how dreadful her morning had started today. She remembered how she had woken up late from her bed and realized that it's almost time for her to set off for school, giving her only 7 minutes to prepare. She hadn't taken her relaxing bath and just took a quick washed up in her face and brushed her teeth. She wore her school uniform twice to her size, picked her bag and placed the eyeglasses-much like to Harry Potter's in her farsighted eyes. She hadn't got a glimpse of her favorite breakfast, cooked by their resident chief Mang Jake, that adds to her aweful state. She ran off the house and into the St. Mark's Academy. She completely forgot that her driver was waiting for her from the back of their garage and already set the car to their destination. "Ang bobplaks mo talaga!" Honey thought to herself and mentally slapped her forehead several times indicating her stupidity.

The morning rushed-off didn't end just there. Her public humiliation started right after she reached the full-packed gate, where students and some faculty on cue to enter the school premise. When it was her turn, she placed her academy's identification card into the scanner. It beeped two times, sign that it wasn't the valid academy's identification card. The people and the guards stared at her with disgust. Mistakenly, she picked the wrong i.d, the one when she was in her elementary.

"Aaarrgh!" she said loudly enough for her to hear, and scratched her head causing her frizzy hair to look more disarranged, as though it hadn't been combed for a month.

"Hey! Honey! Magkano ang nalugi sa'tin ngayong araw?" She's Honey's bestfriend, Emerald Gray.

With her age, 17 years old, she achieved many academic awards in and out of the country and been to different places, abroad. She and Honey are great competitors when it comes to academic standings. Just like to their friendship, their grades were so close to each other that they became tie to every honorable rankings. She's been to Paris, States, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, London, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hongkong, name it! She likes to travel whenever she gets a time. She likes to discover new things, she's adventurous you could tell. She also saw Hollywood actors and actresses, even the most trending, famous K- Pop groups and personalities, the Victoria's Secret Models, not to mention she got a whole lot of connection to the showbiz industrialization. Her main passion is to be listed in one of the top fashion designer in the world. Contrary to this is what her father wants her to be, the heiress of their businesses. Her father is known to be the top one ranked in business-district either in local or worldwide. Despite Emerald's socio-economic status, she remained as humble as she could be and trying to be in her low profile. She barely wants attention from the mass media and even to the people surrounding her. Being secretive to other people about her life's standing, she remained open to her bestfriend- Honey. They spent half of their years knowing each other in an uncertain circumstances. They're more than like a sister.

"Let me guess. Hmmm." Emerald pretends to think deeply, as though she doesn't know what her bestfriend was worried about. "Aha!" she snapped her fingers, and continued. "Na-bully ka na naman no?"
