When I first knew how different Monarch High was from the other school I've gone before... that's the first thing that interests me. Isa din ito sa rason kung bakit pinili ko ang school na 'to. It wasn't created just to sharpen the knowledge but also to train the students to become great leaders by being the leaders themselves. Great leaders come with vast knowledge, imposing wisdom and justifiable intellectual that's why there's an examination and election to gather votes from students.

There are two main sovereigns in Monarch High; The King, which has three retinues, the princes-and the Queen, which also has three retinues, the princesses. Those two main sovereigns are the one making decisions, plans, and apply their skills to supposedly their kingdom-the school, of course with the guide of schoolmasters, after all, this is still a school and we are still students.

Kung nasa posisyon ka, you have the responsibilities to the school. You have to listen to the voices of your subjects and consider their opinions. Pero mayroon talagang mga gahaman na kahit nasa posisyon na ay hindi parin nakukuntento. Taking advantage of your position without doing anything to at least thrive the school at nagpapalaki ka lang ng pwet mo, talagang mapapaalis ka sa pwesto. Kagaya na lang ng nangyari kay Britney. Hindi na nakakapagtataka iyon, everyone in Monarch knows what she was doing for the past year after she was chosen as the Queen. I didn't even remember how many promises she had said during the oath taking tapos wala naman palang nangyari.

"I think this is just a dream." I heard Mae say as we looked at our tarpaulin in front of the gate.

I nodded.

The tarpaulin was almost covering the whole gate because of its wideness. Kahapon lang kami kinuhanan at ito na sya ngayon. It feels like a dream, really. Dati ay tinitingnan ko lang ang ganito habang nasa labas ako ng gate, well I was frowning before because of Britney, but I couldn't help but to be astonished. Nagsimula akong humiling na sana maging reyna din ako.

"I still couldn't believe I was chosen as one of the princesses." singit ni Gina.

"But what I didn't expect are them being the princes." Pink gritted her teeth in annoyance as she looked at the princes' faces.

Hindi ko rin inaasahan na sila. Last year, Wynd's retinues weren't them. Ngayon lang sila tumakbo, tulad namin. But I wonder what will happen now that we have to work together. Pink wasn't even pleased with their presence and vice versa. Our first encounter was not very... okay.

"Pink!" narinig kong sigaw ni Mae.

Nanlaki ang mga mata namin nang makita naming nilalabas ni Pink iyong marker nya at ginuhitan ng sungay ang mga mukha nila Wynd. Halos mapasigaw ako sa sobrang gulat sa ginawa nya. I had to look around if someone was watching, but there were no students around. Lumapit ako kay Pink at inagaw 'yung marker nya.

"Stop it! Baka may makakita pa!"

"Hindi pantay!"

Gina rolled her eyes. "Seriously."

Kinuha nya pabalik ang marker sa akin at ginuhitan nya ulit ng mas mahabang sungay para pantay. Hindi pa sya nakuntento at nilagyan nya pa ng pangil. Napangiwi ako nang makita ko ang kabuuang ginawa nya. Now, I could feel the princes' anger raging... Including Wynd's dahil kahit ang litrato nya ay hindi pinalampas ni Pink.

"Priscillane!" irita kong sabi. "Tama na nga 'yan!"

Pink smiled in satisfaction at ibinalik sa kanyang bag ang marker. She smirked as she looked what she had done to the tarpaulin. I massaged my temple. Ngayon pa nga lang ay hirap na hirap na ako sa kanila, paano pa kaya kapag nagharap na kaming lahat? Because I'm sure we will! And that's inevitable!
