For me this is just a normal ten days of no class. Although, I do love playing sports and I do love watching  them playing it, especially volleyball but somehow bigla nalang akong nawalan ng interest--for some reasons nawalan ako ng confidence to bring back my passionate self. My focus for now is studies-studies-studies-and proving my worth.  

"Let us support our team mamaya!"

Some random student lang na sigaw ng sigaw to support our school's basketball team, which I think is going to be our main event mamaya. 

Of course. Everyone's excited to cheer their bets, everyone gets to think of only one thing: after parties. Well, me being me none of those things I mentioned, I will be doing after signing and submitting this attendance sheet. I am planning na umuwi agad at matulog.  

"Ms. Carter, this is going to be the last"wika ni Sir. Mel habang inaabot ko sakanya yung attendance sheet na kinuha ko kanina sa gate"I want you to attend, you are one of my top student. I am just being lenient with you knowing that your father is Mr. Pascu--"ugh, here we go again with this conversation. Everyone in the faculty knows my father is the President kaya okay lang na marinig nila at hindi na sila gulat dun. Only the students of this university doesn't know about it--not even my group of friends. I don't want them to treat me differently just because my father is the President. 

The school is known for crazy rich kid enrollees: mga anak-mayaman yung mga enrolled sa school na ito. All they knew about me is anak ako ni Mr. Gustavo Carter which is the owner of the Gustavo: Plains and Prints one of the top selling bags and dresses hindi lang dito sa pilipinas but saibang asian countries as well. Crazy rich right? but my story is more complicated than that.     Going back, the thing is hindi lang ako yung nakakahalata na sa special treatment nila and I dont like it. I dont want to be bullied for it. For sure, they've been treating me differently for their own wits.

I almost forgot to clear it out. Oo presidente ng Pilipinas yun tatay ko. I am his illegitimate daughter. My half-siblings are two boys and one bratty girl. Late na akong nirecognize ng father ko--mahabang kwento at tamad akong mag-kwento for now. 

"My father has nothing to do with my studies po. Don't worry Sir I'll attend this time"plans ruined. Gotta decide to close this conversation. Medyo naririnig ko na kasing nagchichismisan yung mga professors. They were also paid to hid my identity and not spread any rumors about me. Minsan may nakakalusot ngunit agad na pinapatanggal sa trabaho. 

"Hays mga anak mayaman napaka-spoiled"

I looked at the professor who said that nonchalantly but with a fierce aura gusto ko sanang isagot sakanya to hindi ba pwedeng ginusto ko lang na huwag umattend ng intrams? Spoiled na agad? but I change my mind. 

Magsasalita pa sana si Sir. Mel ng biglang bumukas ng sobrang lakas yung pintuan ng faculty. Unang pumasok yung tingin ko ay coach, nakasuot kasi ito ng varsity jacket with our school's basketball team name na halatang embroidered sa left chest area ng jacket inis na inis na pumasok at halatang pinipigilan yung galit. I think he was my PE teacher when I was in my freshmen years. Third year na nga pala ako. Then yung sumunod na pumasok--I kinda know this guy. He is famous of course with a physique and aura, plus napaka-athletic pa, he's everywhere: Basketball, Football, Volleyball. That is Lukas Rhyll Ildelfonso. Nakasuot siya ng white v-neck shirt and maong pants na may tattered kaunti pairing it with a white nike air max. A bit buff and toned but still manages to have that slim figure--well proportioned body tho. I never meant to eavesdrop but--Sir Mel made me. May pahabol pa kasing sinasabi.
