The Famous Bachelorettes

Georginia Carybella's POV

"Naku batang ito! George! Mahuhuli ka na naman sa klase! Bilis-bilisan mong bata ka!" O-M-G. Sobrang tanghali na ba at sobra kung makapag-panic itong si Yaya? Gosh, talagang always niyang trip na magdagdag ng wrinkles. Like eff! I know, it has always been my fault since nag-aral ako. I am always late. Like waking up late has been my hobby na yata since birth? I mean, the hell. I slept early last night, okay. Sa pagkakaalam ko then--

“Miss Georginia! Yung kilos mo!” I winced. Sigaw naman ng sigaw itong si Yaya para namang pinapagalit ko ng pinapagalit. I’m always mabait naman. Hello, sa edad niya ngayon kailangan niyang mag-relax. Ilang tao ang nagkakasakit sa puso because of anger. Gosh!

I know, okay, it is my fault. Dahil nakasanayan ko na lang? Simula pinanganak ako siya na yung kinagisnan kong nanny. As in, since birth. My parents are always out of the country because of their businesses abroad and I can’t do anything about that. Isa pa, I truly do understand. That’s their job. I’m just thankful na lumaki akong maganda at sexy because of my Yaya. I mean, I don’t feel loneliness kapag sina Mama ang umaalis but once Yaya did. It always breaks my heart.

“Ya! Calm down. OMG! Magbibihis na po ko.” Bahagyang sigaw ko mula rito sa kwarto ko. I took that silence from here para kumilos ng mabilis. I need a shower; I always need all the time. Ayoko ng marumi, ayoko ng putik at ayoko ng mabaho, basta ayoko. It’s eww. Gross!

I don’t care kung mapapagalitan na naman ako ng mga kaibigan ko today. Like lagi naman nila akong nire-remind about my tardiness and all that and again, I’m used to it.

I rushed my way downstairs. Nadatnan ko ang mga naka-ready ng breakfast sa mesa but I care not, I’m on a diet. I care more about my body. Hindi ako pwedeng kumain at this point. Naka-Intermittent Fasting ako.

“Ya, I’ll go now. Bye po!” Paalam ko sa kanya habang busy siya sa kitchen. I can’t afford to have her here baka subuan pa niya ko mapakain lang ako. Ininom ko na lang yung Tomato Juice na hinanda niya.

“Sige Miss Georginia. Siya nga pala, nagpadala na raw ang Papa mo.” I rolled my eyes. Like seriously, she need not remind me about it. Lagi namang sa ATM ko ang bagsak ng mga panggastos ko and yes that’s just for a week.

Inubos ko lang yung iniinom ko bago ako lumabas where I found my dear baby. The Volkswagen Mama gave me as a birthday present. Sinipat ko muna yung oras from my phone.

Gosh. I have 5 minutes left.

5 minutes left before the first break. So, that means hindi na naman ako nakapasok sa first subject. How typical. Drove my car around the block where I saw Garielle also panicking about how late she was. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag. At least, may kasama ako.

I smirked.

Minata ko na naman yung bahay nila and I don’t mean to offend but that house is so cheap. Like I just can’t look at it.

Nakita ko ang paglinga niya sa kotse ko matapos niyang pulutin yung mga nagkakandalaglag na mga librong dala niya. Abot tainga ang ngiti niyang nagtatakbo pa sa harap ko. I rolled my eyes saka binuksan yung bintana ng passenger’s seat.

“Hop in.” Utos ko pa sa kanya. Nagmamadali naman siyang sumakay papasok sa kotse ko.

“Oh my God! Thank you! You’re my savior ngayong araw!” She said while pouting her lips then threw herself to hug me. Napakingay! Sa lahat kasi ng mali-late, why her? Just why?! Hindi sa nagre-reklamo ako. Please don’t get me wrong, masyado lang talaga siyang maingay.

By the way, Garielle Vega. Known as Elle sa school. We nicknamed her as an intense one dahil it’s too obvious. And yes, ang maingay at eksaheradang ito is one of my best friends. Her beautiful says it all kaya nag-qualify as my best friend. Isa pa, our group find her so bubbly, mabait and cute. Like, hello, cute lang siyempre. I’m the prettiest amongst us. We do love Garielle so much, pero mas mahal ko ang sarili ko. Not to be selfish, but aren’t we born to love ourselves?

The school is not that far kaya naman nakarating kami agad. All it took was half of my functioning ears. I was about to park when I saw those faces waiting near the main building, my fellow schoolmates I mean, kung saan kami pumapasok. Lumapad ang ngiti ko.

I did a little countdown to myself, hanggang sa makababa kami at doon ko na mas maiging narinig yung mga sigawan na kanina ay ugong lang.

“George! Nandito na si George!”, and that was followed by a shriek.

“Ang ganda mo talaga Garielle!” Lumingon ako kay Garielle na hindi yata napansin ang pagtawag na iyon. Nagkibit balikat ako.

“OMG! They’re both here. My poor heart!” I again smirked after hearing that. Ano pa bang bago? Huh?

They all rushed in front of us. This is just a typical day for us. Yung magsisimula silang ibigay yung mga regalo nilang-I don’t even know how many months it took for them to save money para lang mabili itong mga ito.

“Ate! Here, for you!” I’m guessing she’s currently on third. Iniabot niya pa sa akin yung red bag na dala niya and because I’m too picky, I inspected the bag. Napangiti ako nang marealize kong original iyon.

“Hermès?”

“Yes, Ate!” Her eyes twinkled. I patted her head.

“Thank you, sweeties. Bye!” Paalam ko pa sa kanya. Lumingon na ako kay Garielle just to find out na madi-disappoint lang ako. Her hands were full. Bakit ang dami niyang regalo? And for me? Just this bag?

Gosh George! You’re too picky kaya ‘wag kang mag-expect na rarami ng ganyan yung regalo mo. You only accept designer brands and the most expensive ones. Don’t you even think? Kahit man lang common sense, George.

Maya-maya pa ay lumabas na rin ng building yung mga taong kanina ko pa gustong makita. They went on our direction. Tulad sa amin ay kanya-kanya ring bigay ng regalo sa kanila yung mga ka-schoolmates ko.

“Good morning, babes. Ngayon lang kayo?” Nakangising tanong ni Joey.

Joey Merrit. The Boyish member of our group. It’s in her daily routine to call as babes. Every one of us in this group. Don’t get it wrong. She’s just the way she is. Lots of guys out there tried to pursue her but I think she’s manly compared to them, personality wise.

“So, Garielle Vega and Georginia Carybella…” Emily said, sinusubukang kunin ang atensiya namin which I think she succeeded of doing so. Hawak niya pa iyong attendance list niya saka siya may sinulat doon bago umiling-iling nang nakarehistro ang inis sa mukha niya.

“Sorry, Em.” Sabi pa ni Garielle na animo’y maamong pusa. Ugh! I can’t stand her cuteness. I just can’t! I need to be the cutest and at the same time prettiest!

“Firs time mo lang naman ma-late Elle and I am not worried.” Then she shoots me a judging look. I rolled my eyes. Hindi sa ginagawa ko to on purpose. I am just…just waking up late everyday which is not my fault. May insomnia ako. Nagkibit balikat na lang ako to avoid any interrogations from her.

“Please mind your results.” Pahabol niya pang sabi.

Well that’s how Emily Rodriguez should be. The Nerdy. Hindi ba obvious? The reason why we call her that is because masyado siyang strikto pagdating sa academics. Like duh, I swear kung nakakapagsalita lang ang acads? They’ll be cursing her repeatedly dahil sa panga-abuso niya. She’s making it her b***h. Imagine, top of the class, and the President of the whole highschool department. I mean, besides me, she’s close to perfection. Pero if we’re going to talk about relationship, waley. Ayaw niya kasi sa lalaking hindi niya katulad. A guys who can’t be as smart as her. Arogante, right?

“Come on, grades are not important.” Bellona butt in.

Bellona Johnson. The Rebel of the group. We usually call her Belle. Too far from her personality, yes. But that’s just how it works. She hates the whole world. She hates her life, she hates everything and everyone, except us. I don’t know what happened to her. We never asked why she became so rebellious like this.

“Tama si Em, sp shut the hell up Belle. Anyways, I’ve got rounds later then volleyball open game after. Gusto niyong sumali?”

Alexandria Dunbar. Also known as Rhia. The Sporty. Like Emily, she’s attained full scholarship but with the condition. She needs to stay right off the hook as an MVP of all the sports inside this academy to maintain her scholarship. Na sa tingin ko easy lang for her. Lahat ng sports sa women’s division MVP siya. So, walang hirap.

“No!” I said disgustingly. Yes, no! I don’t want to sweat myself up. I’ve got tons of afternoon activities to do and playing volleyball is not of them. Need to follow my routine. I need new shoes and bags.

So…

“Let’s go shopping.” Suhestiyon ko pa habang nasa labi ko ang pinakamatamis na ngiting kaya kong ibigay sa kanila.

By the way, I’ve been talking way too much that I forgot to introduce myself.

I am Georginia Carybella. The so-called George of the group. I am the Brat. The past happenings should’ve opened an idea of why I am the brat of this group. First, I hate local things, I hate disgusting things, and I always get what I want. I mean, not all the time. Let’s just say 24/7?

My neck craned out to check if these people plan to move out, but I think they are too busy admiring us. It just gets too crowded as well because of the newcomers. At ang lalagkit nila, ayokong madikitan!

“TFB’s complete. They’re complete! Kumpleto na!”

“They’re all gorgeous gusto kong maging katulad niyo.”

“Hey TFB! Pakasalan ninyo ako!”

I rolled my eyes.

Every day, the same scenario. And I am sorry, but we can’t do anything about it. We tried to at least minimize this happening but we’re too charismatic and too famous for them. Not bragging, nope. Just stating the damn fact. We’re famous not just because we all do have different aspects of beauty and personalities, but also because we have filthy rich parents who are known to be good investors of this academy.

Except for Garielle, of course.

That is the main reason why we’re like Goddesses for them.

Our group? They call us TFB. Initials for?
