Maria Yanne Torres, a subpar girl from Cebu moves to Manila for college, dreaming to be the lawyer she wants to be one day. Little did she know she'll be dragged into a major social fiasco that includes a city mayor and a celebrity.
And this will ch...
"Good morning, Ms. I-Had- A-Date-On-An-Educational-Camp!" I woke up to Angel's squeals. Ingay naman ng babaeng to, opposite talaga sila ni Nicole grabe. Si Nicole nakaharap lang sa vanity mirror at nagsusuklay habang ito namang si Angel nagtatatalon sa kama at inaalog ako.
"Morning." Tumayo naman ako galing sa pagkahiga at humikab. "Magbihis ka na, Yanne. We have an hour until breakfast downstairs." Nicole said to me in a very calm tone and sumenyas siya na nasa banyo ang towels. "Thanks, Nicole." I headed to the bathroom para maligo na.
"B-but, she hasn't spilt the beans yet!" Rinig na rinig ko ang protesta ni Angel habang linalock ko na ang pintuan ng cr. Tumawa lang ako at patuloy na naligo.
I changed into a navy blue floral dress that hugged me perfectly. Wash day ng YEC shirt namin today kaya we're free to wear whatever we want.

Nicole wore a denim a-line skirt with a plain pink shirt tsaka si Angel naman naka-black skinny jeans paired with an oversized lilac shirt that says, 'I'm No Angel'.
Sa totoo lang, parang tanga si Angel sa suot niya kasi yun yung pangalan niya. Pinagtawanan lang namin siya.
Lumabas na kami sa kwarto habang kinukulit pa rin ako ni Angel na magkwento tungkol kagabi. Sinabi ko lang na wala namang masyado nangyari, kuamin lang kami ng packed meal. Irita naman siya kasi nakita daw niya yung forehead kiss sa labas ng kwarto. Tawang tawa naman si Nicole sa pagkairita ni Angel dahil hindi ako nagsasalita.
"Good morning." My heart melted when I saw Vico waiting outside the hotel rooms. He was wearing a white button up shirt na unbuttoned yung first two buttons, black jeans tsaka sneakers. He was just sitting on the bench outside of the hotel rooms.

He heard my voice and looked up. He had a little Starbucks paper bag with him. "Venti iced caramel macchiato with extra caramel drizzle and white chocolate cookies for my sunshine." He called out to me and handed the paper bag. Konti nalang kikisay kisay na si Angel dito. Si Nicole naman di mapigilang mapangiti kaya tumalikod nalang siya. Ako? Yung labi ko mapupunit na kakangiti, kilig na kilig ako dito.
"Ah, Vico." He extended his right hand to Angel and Nicole and introduced himself. "Angel, VicYan fan." Sabi niya at napatawa habang nagshake hands sila. Siniko ko naman to si Angel. Bugaw ba kita? Kaloka to. Nicole just smiled and said her name.
We walked to the clubhouse kaming apat habang si Angel at si Nicole yung nasa front and kami naman ni Vico nasa likod lang at nag-uusap.
"You didn't have to do this." Tingin ko sa mukha niya. "Alam ko, I just... Di magaan loob ko nang makita kitang umiyak. Parang kulang yung ginawa ko kahapon to reassure you na nandito lang talaga ako." He explained at huminto sa paglalakad. "Alam mo naman nandito ako diba? For you." He asked while holding my shoulders. "I know and thank you." I responded then he dropped his hands from my shoulders and intertwined his pinky with mine.
We walked to the clubhouse habang patago kong hinahawakan yung pinky niya. Itinago ko ito sa likod ko kasi alam naman nating bawal to.
"San kayo galing?" Juan asked us pagdating sa may clubhouse at nabitawan ko kaagad yung kamay ni Vico. "Anong saan?" Nicole asked with scrunched eyebrows. "Starbucks oh." Sam added, joining us. "Ahh, that's from Yanne's suitor." Angel looked at me and raised her eyebrows suggestively. "Pa-issue ka, Angel." I pushed her jokingly at napatawa nalang sina Juan at Sam.
"Ah, Sam po, sir." Sam introduced himself to Vico. "Vico lang, wag sir." He smiled then Juan introduced himself too. Dumating si Jack na may dalang inis na inis na mukha. Ano na naman problema nito? Mas tinotoyo to ng madalas kaysa samin nila Angel at Nicole eh.
"Tara na." Nicole said and the rest followed to go inside the clubhouse. Naiwan kami dito ni Vico.
"Sunod na ako ha. Thank you so much, Vico." I thanked him and gave him a smile. "Anything for you." He smiled and patted my head. "Kaya pala tinanong mo ano favorite breakfast food ko." Natawa lang ako in realization. "Alam ko kung gaano ka kaparticular and specific in everything. Kahit nga favorite color mo specific shade." He teased me and called me 'maarte'. "Che, bahala ka nga diyan." I laughed playfully and waved goodbye to him.
Pumasok na ako sa clubhouse na bitbit ang paperbag at umupo sa mesa namin. Tabi ko si Angel na parang tanga kakakulit sa akin kung ano ba talaga kami ni Vico. "Ano ba, wala nga eh. Friends lang, issue kayo." Inirapan lang ako ni Angel at tinawag na selfish. Natawa kaming lahat dahil sa parang bata na pag-aarte ni Angel except lang kay Jack.
"Tinotoyo na naman dalaga natin.." Juan commented while looking at Jack. "Shut up." Jack hissed tsaka napatawa naman kaming lahat. Para talagang tanga eh. Vico entered the clubhouse and everyone stood up to greet him. "Good morning, Mayor."
"Good morning." His eyes met mine and he looked into my eyes for a few moments. After he snapped himself out of his trance while looking into my eyes, he shook his head and motioned for us to sit down habang nagsosorry.
Nagstart ang isang facilitator na magdiscuss sa aming harapan habang kumakain ang mga tao. Makinig lang daw.
