The Gap Between Us (SSG SERIES #1)

Prologue

Stacey Santiago

"Let us welcome, the new rulers of this campus. Everyone, pay their respects."

Everyone stood up and clapped their hands as the new council has been decided. It was a group of smart, and powerful people. Just by looking at them, you'll realize how unfair the world is.

"Anong feeling ng favorite ni Lord?" tanong ng kaibigan ko, si Coleen.

Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa at parehas na natawa. We were thinking the same thing. Anong feeling? Anong feeling ng nasa itaas?

I looked up to these people. They all seemed like a royal family.

The secretary. Natalia Fae Garcia. She's sweet. Elegant. A girl with class. Pwede mo nang sabihin na, she's the campus' princess.

Along with the prince, Eliezer Fernandez. The campus' money holder, the treasurer. He's kind, friendly, approachable. You can say na, he's trustworthy. Kaya sakaniya pinagkatiwala ang posisyong ito.

And the queen. Via Richelle Carbonelle. She's fierce. Doesn't smile and bow to anyone lower than her position. She's the vice president.

And lastly, the most powerful one. The king.

Coen Mikael Reyes.

Let me describe him. His expression is always dark. He doesn't smile, at all. He barely speaks. But the moment he opens his mouth, everyone would immediately stop talking.

And there they have it. The new rulers. Just their presence is enough to know the power they hold.

At ako naman.

Si Stacey 'Sachi' Santiago. Tao lang. I have never imagined myself to be as powerful as them. Pero marami akong pangarap sa buhay.

And one of them

is the King.

I know, he is out of my league. We're this close, but the truth is we were universe apart.

That's why this dream, will remain as my dream.
