"Layla!" Tawag sa akin ng kaibigan ko.
They are bullying a girl. She's maybe one year older than me but too weak to fight against us.
"Ikaw ang crush ni Ali? Hindi ka naman pretty like our princess Layla!" Away sa kaniya ni Alison at itinulak ang babae.
We're too young that time. I vague remember that. I just remember the result where she transfers.
Pinagkatitigan ko ang professor kong babae. She is a transferred teacher in this Elite University. Kung ihahalintulad niyo ako sa story I won't be the damsel in distress. If this story is fairytale, I will be Aubrey.
"Omg girl. Are you familiar with that woman?" Si Alisson na hanggang 4th year college ay kasama ko pa rin.
Sasagot na sana ako ng maunahan ako ng kaklase ko.
"She's Vincentious Alijandro's girlfriend!" Halos umalis ang kaluluwa ko sa narinig ko.
She's what?
Are they kidding?
How could she be?
"Are you sure?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Elisha na kaibigan ko simula noong bata pa.
I know Alijandro since we were young. He was 4 years older than me and that does not stop me from admiring him. He was a living greek god! Lahat naman nahuhumaling sa kaniya.
Isang rason na nagpupumilit akong makatapos kahit I'm suck at this course is because I want my line connected on him.
"Layla Dominiquea Brittany Thornhill." Tawag nito sa aking pangalan na nakakunot ang noo.
Yes, she was the little girl who grown up and now transferred in my school even I heard that she has the best job there. Why would she teach here? Isn't that fishy?
I smile geniunely, "Present, Miss Albaladejo."
Pinagkatitigan niya lang ako ulit bago nagpatuloy sa attendance.
"From now on I will be your proffessor in this subject. This special subject will determine your whole grades and I'm warning you that I'm strict towards any kind of cheating." May diin nitong sabi at mas tila tinagalan ang titig sa akin.
Do I look like a cheater?
Hindi lang ako matalino sa ganitong course. It's just that this is not my specialty.
Nag- umpisa nga ang kaniyang lecture at magaling nga siya. Hindi na nakakaantok ang klase so I listened to her the whole one hour of lecturing. She said hindi siya magtatanong sa amin ngayon she'll give us time to learn our notes.
After finishing her time, I left after she left the class tutal wala naman akong klase after this. The dean in this school is my aunt and I normally eat with her.
"How's your day, sweetie? Your cousin is graduating with double major." Proud nitong balita na ikinangiti ko. I have a great big family.
"That's good, my! I hope they come home before my graduation too. I miss those girls."
The whole school knew that I am the dean's niece and of course a lot have a say about it.
"Usap- usapan din na hindi siya matalino pero dean lister siya." Tila parinig talaga habang naglalakad ako patungong gate. I don't have a class this whole afternoon kaya makakauwi na rin ako.
This is always what I hear every time I walk in the campus.
It's either they are talking good things about me or bad things.
"My sister said, she's good both orally and on paper test."
"Nah, maybe she knew the lesson and answer all along. You know, when your family contributed a lot in this university..." Pabitin na sabi nito.
I came from a prominent family.
I may look well mannered but really of course I am!
I'm way better than them para patulan sila. I won't ruin my reputation.
"Diba nasa news din noon na may nagsuicide dahil sa pag- bully niya?" Isang hakbang nalang nasa labas na ako ng gate ng marinig iyon.
"This is Elite School after all. Hindi madudungisan ang grade mo kahit ano pa ang gawin mo. I can bully anyone here without being terminated and tainted as long as I have money to shower this school."
Tuluyan akong napatigil.
Selena has been pestering me for almost 4 years at 4 times a year ko lng siya pinapatulan.
I don't really know her family except from hearing she's very rich.
As in rich like us talaga daw.
"What happen to that girl again? Ah her whole family became mess. Her mother is currently in the mental hospital. Her father died of too much alcohol due to losing his precious daughter. Her grandmother had heart attack. I sympathize the whole family." Tumigil ang lahat para makinig.
Every time we face each other she had something to say.
"Opps am I lying now?" Nang harapin ko siya ay nakangisi siya.
Interesado ang buong school sa gagawin ko.
"Spit more fact. I want to hear more." May ngisi ko rin na ganti na ikinalusaw ng ngisi nito.
I do not deny nor confirm anything she say.
I may look as pure but the whole school do not know what's really true about me. All of them have a own description but no one confirm if it's true.
