"Corset? You want me to wear a corset?" I asked in utter disbelief,  staring at the white, tight-looking piece of clothing that lay on my make-shift bed. It would definitely be breath-taking-literally- as in my breath, not anybody else's.
"Of course you have to be adorned in a corset Ms.Alyssa.You could not go to a ball otherwise. Your dress has to be perfect if you want to be noticed by the gentlemen present. If not a proposal of marriage during the course of the night, a dance would suffice by the least".
I blinked at her words, my mind processing her expectations at a very slow pace. Guess I shouldn't have expected any less from a lady 40 years older than my 19 year old self. I still couldn't comprehend as to why she chose to call me 'Uglisa', at least it sounded like that. but who am I to talk? I didn't know the VICTORIAN ACCENT now, did I ?
I fought the urge to correct her for the uncountable time of the day as I remembered why I had to wear a corset- a costume I would look undeniably hideous in-and 'WHY' , if you ask me, then Leggies Ungentle-germs and squeak-agers( don't look at me. I merely inches away from that- okay, make that a few- long -feet). It's a long story, but that's okay- after all I have all the time History can buy.....

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
