As I walked down the hallway, people kept staring at me and whispered to the person beside them.

Sanay na akong pinagtitinginan lagi, pero iba kasi ang tingin nila sa akin ngayon. It's as if I did something wrong.

When I got to my room, their stares kept the same.

Nagklase na, but it was suddenly interrupted by the boys that knocked on the door.

"Oh, Inkx! What a pleasure!" our teacher said as if she was admiring the band.

"Uh... excuse us Ma'am, but may we excuse Miss Ciervo for the rest of your time?" Cole asked politely to our teacher. Nag-ingay na naman ang mga kaklase ko at tinignan ako na para bang nanunuya sila.

What's wrong? Is there something stuck on my face?

"Oh, sure!" Bumaling sa akin ang teacher namin. "Ms. Ciervo, you may go."

I was confused as to what is happening, but I arranged my things and did not utter a word until I was outside.

"Let's go..."

Naglakad kami papuntang garden ng school. They were quiet and so am I. Roxie went with us and she looked like she was in a hurry.

"Have you seen it?" She asked me in a serious tone when we sat down.

I arched my brow. "The?"

I saw them glanced at each other. What am I missing out?

Roxie took out her phone. After a minute, she gave it to me.

I was confused, but I still took her phone and looked at it.

Inkx's Manager, Courtney Ciervo: The reason why Cole; the growing singer, and Bianca; the pop star broke up?

There was an article written about me having an affair with Cole. A picture was posted wherein Cole was leaning on the wall while I was in the middle.

This was the time wherein Cole pinned me to the wall when I insisted on talking to him.

Binasa ko ang article. It says that I was behind everything. That I controlled Cole and now Bianca and Cole are forced to split up.

There was a video at the end. I pressed it for it to play.

"Yes!" Bianca sobbed. "She's abusing her powers so that Cole and I will get separated. I don't know what I did to her, and why it is that she's so mad at me. No'ng una nga, ako lang ang gustong makipag kaibigan sa kanya. Ngayon ganito," madamdamin niyang sabi.

"What the fuck?!" I couldn't help but cuss.

May tumulong luha pa sa mga mata niya. Damn, now the tables have turned and now, I'm the bad one. Ang galing niya naman, pati ang lahat ng tao ay naloko niya.

"Where the fuck is that stupid girl?! I would kill her if I saw her!" I couldn't help but shout.

Hinawakan ako sa kamay ni Alex para pakalmahin.

"We already told your father about this. Sa ngayon ay umuwi ka na lang sa inyo," malumanay na sabi ni Alex.

"But you sti–"

"No but's, Manager. Kami na ang bahala. Mamaya pa naman ang meeting namin para sa isang brand 'di ba?" Napatingin ako kay Cole. Tumango lang ako.

The whole time that we are on the way to our house, I couldn't help but feel anxious about things. For sure, some people have recognized me now. Alam kong mauungkat na ang nakaraan ko.

I sighed when I entered the house. Agad akong sinalubong ng yakap ni Mommy.

Siya pa lang ang nandito, may klase pa sina Kuya Chris at Kuya Chrome habang si Dad ay nasa trabaho pa.
