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...
It was back to normal. I'm here in class, Introduction to Political Analysis. I was taking notes while Angel was just napping beside me. Professor Gomez continued talking habang ang iba natutulog, naglalaro ng Mobile Legends, naggigitara. Wala talagang pake 'to.
Bilis bilis naman magnext ng slide si sir. My phone pinged continuously in my pocket. I checked kasi baka emergency. Nobody texts me usually naman.

Why does he have my number? Natapos naman ang YEC na wala kaming palitan ng number. I just continued taking notes, maya na ako magreply. And my social media accounts? San ba to galing lahat?
Around 20 minutes later, prof dismissed us already at ginising ko na si Angel. Napaka-bad influence talaga nitong babaeng to. Imagine, natutulog sa klase, palaging nag-aaya ng tagay, tinutulak ako kay Vico pero ang talino ring babae. Di niya need magpay attention sa class.
My phone buzzed again and I checked. It was Vico again.

I responded with "Katatapos lang. Why?" Ito naman si Angel, akala ko bagong gising na walang energy. Sumigla bigla nang makita niyang magkatext kami ni Vico.
Angel said we had to meet up with Juan, Sam, Jack and Nicole. Sabi niya short meeting lang.
Since Sam and Juan still had one class left, Angel said na hangout muna daw kami sa coffee shop tapat ng school. Pumayag naman ako, wala naman akong gagawin.
"Ma'am Yanne?" A guy in a usual bodyguard uniform approached me. "Yes?" I asked na medyo kabado kasi di ko naman kilala to, baka bugbugin ako nito.
"Pinadala po ako ni Sir Vico dahil hindi ka raw niya makukuha ng personal. May lakad po ba kayo?" Tanong niya sa akin. Sasagot sana ako na may meeting pa kami pero inunahan ako ni Angel. "She's free. Bye, Yanne!" Agad-agad niyang sabi at tinulak niya ako. Bago pa ako makaprotesta, iniwan na niya ako.
Gaga talaga tong si Angel. Binuksan ng lalaki ang pinto ng isang itim na Rolls Royce at nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa pagkagara nito.
Pumasok ako sa sasakyan at ang bango nito. Ang lambot ng chairs. "Ma'am, masama po ba pakiramdam niyo?" The driver suddenly asked. I just shook my head because I was still in awe of the luxurious car.
Di ko alam saan kami papunta at gaano to magtatagal pero grabe. I didn't expect Vico to own a car like this. Di naman siya corrupt na mayor. I opened my phone and looked up the net worth of Vico Sotto pero walang lumabas.
Instead, Vic Sotto's net worth came up. Is this his dad?

Vic Sotto's net worth was $14 million. In pesos, 500 million?! Oh. My. Lord. My jaw dropped. Grabe. Kaya naman pala afford nila. I looked at the car and parang ang rangya. Parang sa mga prinsesa, prinsipe ganon.
I followed Vico back on all the social medias and saved his contact number. Nakaka-shook naman pala tong si Vico.
"Andito na tayo, ma'am." The driver's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked out the window and it was the city hall. Di ba bawal tong ginagawa namin? Bat pa ba niya ako pinapunta dito?
"Hinihintay ka po ni Sir Vico sa loob." He repeated so I'd get out na. I took a deep breath and opened the car door. Daming tao, di mo ata mamamalayan kung sino mga tao dito because the mayor is very welcoming and pinapaentertain niya sa kanyang interns ang mga citizens na may reklamo.
I walked towards the city hall's entrance. "Saan po office ni mayor?" I asked the guard. "Straight lang po kayo, ma'am. Nariyan ang secretary niya sa pinakadulo." He answered while pointing towards the direction I should go to. "Salamat, sir." I smiled at him. I thought the guard would ask me for my ID pero he just nodded his head as a greeting.
I walked towards the secretary's desk and I waited for her to ask me kung ano appointment ko. Instead, she got off her desk and opened a tinted glass door for me. I saw Vico inside and he nodded his head at the secretary. His secretary then gathered her things and left.
"Hi." Bati ko sa kanya habang subsob siya sa mga pinipirmahan na papeles. He smiled at me. "5 minutes." He said then winked at me. He resumed to signing a pile of papers. My phone vibrated in my pocket.

It was my Dadad. Ang weird, di talaga to nagtetext sa akin. He just calls once a month lang ata cause he's super busy in Dubai. Pinipilit niyang magpakabusy.
"Is there anything wrong?" Vico asked me habang tinititigan ko lang phone ko. I looked at Vico, snapping out of my thoughts. "Ahh, wala naman. My Dadad just texted me. Weird." I scrunched my eyebrows together. He just smiled at me.
He arranged all the papers on his desk and picked his bag up. He tilted his head as a sign na umalis na kami. I just stood up and followed him to a backdoor.
He opened the door and there was the car I rode earlier. "Saan tayo pupunta?" I asked him with a curious look on my face. "You'll see." He gave me a toothy grin and grabbed my hand para pumasok kami sa sasakyan.
