I sat on my bed at binuksan yung envelope na binato sakin ni Marg kanina.
Our school invites you to the Great Masquerade Ball
Nine in the evening at the Royale Hall
That's the highlights. Well of course, I'll go. It'll be two months from now. Ganon talaga katagal para daw sa preparations.
Bibili na lang ako ng mga accessories next week. And for my attire? May personal stylist naman ako. I'll text him na lang.
Kuya Addy, I need a gown for the school's event next, next month. I want it to be red and black.
And not long enough, he replied.
From: Kuya Addy
Okay, Princess. The red and black of your choice fits perfectly on the theme!
He's so gay! Nakakatuwa. Anyway, siya na rin ang bahala sa make-up ko. He has friends naman so I'm sure they could make me standout sa Masquerade Ball.

Naguuli lang ako sa mall ngayon. But this time is different. Totally different... and not fun.
Kasama ko sina Marg at Mom. And they're walking in front of me like I'm their chaperone. How could that be fun?
"Anak, do you want a new dress?" Mommy asked Marg.
"Marami pa naman po akong dresses. Pero shoes, Mommy. Can we buy some pairs?"
"Oo naman! Let's go."
Hinila siya ni Mommy kaya mas binilisan ko ang lakas para makahabol ako sa kanila.
"Mom, we can also go to the—"
I cut her off. "May bagong restaur—"
"Never cut Margaret off when she's talking." Tumingin siya kay Marg. "Tara na, baby. The stores are waiting for us."
And they started to chat more not minding that I stopped walking. Ano nga ba kasing magagawa ko? Kasalanan ko naman kasi. Kasalanan ko 'to lahat.
