The Girl You'll Never Know

Chapter 17

I can't sleep. I've been awake for almost 4 hours. I am thinking about what I was talking earlier.

I am now more convince about those things na di daw makatulog nang maayos ang isang tao kung may dinadamdam talaga. Yung feeling na akala ko mild lang tong nararamdaman ko towards him but I wasn't even aware that everytime I got to be with him, my feelings is growing.

Now that I know what is this I am feeling, it badly hurts, no matter what we do if we will be together, I am still not a princess. I am just nothing in this world.

I got up in my bed and walk towards the window. I wish what I am feeling right now is peaceful as the stars above the sky.

---

I took a bath and wore something pleasant. I am in this palace where royals are here so I need to act with proper etiquette, not just in my poise but also in the dress I will wear.

"Stella! Kakain na!" Sigaw mula sa labas ng pintuan ko.

"I will be there!" Sigaw ko din.

I am combing my hair and when I think that I am now okay, I walk towards the door and open it.

"Now let's go" saad ni trexie at tumango nalang ako. Akala ko naman umalis na ito.

Naglakad na kami ni trexie sa hallway nang bigla itong lumingon sakin.

"I saw you and brandon last night" Saad nito. Napabaling ang tigin ko sa kanya at lumungkot ang mukha ko. Pero diko yun pinakita sa kaniya.

"Yeah. We just talked random things" Sagot ko kahit di siya nagtanong. I know that she wanted to know what we're doing last night.

"Okay" ani nito.

Lumiko kami sa kanan at pumasok kami sa pintuan.

I saw the king and queen and all of the group except me and trexie sitting.

"Oh there you are! Now let's have some breakfast" Masayang ani ng Reyna.

Pumanhik na ako sa upuan ko at gaya parin ng una kaming kumain dito, ang pwesto ko ay nasa tabi parin ni brandon.

I know that brandon is looking at me but I didn't look back. I just headed and sitted silently.

We prayed first and then we started getting food. Kumuha lang ako ng sinangag, bacon and hotdog. It's my usual breakfast.

Kumuha na din ang iba at nagsimula na kaming kumain.

Nagkwentuhan lang sila ng biglang may pumasok na kawal. Sumunod don ay isang matandang lalaki.

"Your higness, your presence is needed at the court" Magalang na saad ng matanda.

Nagkatinginan naman ang dalawa at tumango nalang at tumayo. "We are sorry everyone. Continue your breakfast" Paumanhing saad nito at tumango nalang kami. Umalis na ito matapos non.

Kinabahan ako sa di malamang dahilan.

We just eated silently and some of them are just talking about some random stuff.

Tapos na akong kumain at sila ay hindi pa. Tumayo na ako at aalis na sana nang bigla akong tawagin ni Merlie. "You're done?" Nalilitong tanong nito.

Wala akong ganang kumain kaya maliit lang ang kinain ko. Marahil ay don sila nagtaka.

"Yeah" tipid na sagot ko at tatalikod na sana nang biglang may tumawag sa phone ko.

Headmistress is calling me. My heart is pounding so fast.

I answered it and saw headmistress. My phone is a holographic telecommunication. April gave this to me since her kingdom is where technologies are created. Advance technologies to be exact.
