(Continuation from: They glance back at Ysaa—who’s clearly lost and shrinking in a sea of expensive perfume and high heels.)
Ysaa’s POV
Shocks, anong gagawin ko now? Wala talagang tutulong sakin? Lord, final na ba ‘to? Game over? Grabe nakakahiya na dito, parang ako lang ‘yung wala sa lugar. Ang dami pang nakatingin, huhu. 😭
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hallway...
Mill:
“Omg Chatty, look at that girl. She looks so lost! Parang bagong salta from the bundok.”
Chatty:
“Huy, wag kang ganyan! Kawawa naman siya. Tara, let’s help her. She looks harmless and... cute.”
Mil:
“Same. Baka first day niya. Parang wala pa siyang friends. Ugh, naalala ko tuloy ‘yung first day ko—literal iyak levels ako!”
Just as Mil and Chatty are about to approach Ysaa, biglang dumating ang may pa-silaw na entrance…
✨ GLITZ CLIQUE has entered the hallway ✨
Yup, sila na nga. If you’re wondering who they are—buckle up.
👑 Jane Camille De Almonte – The Alpha Diva. CEO of all things sosyal and Queen ng Glitz Clique. Oh, and surprise! Pinsan ni Ysaa.
👠 Bianca Villareal –
The Sophisticated Snake. Always in heels, fluent in sarcasm, Anak ng politiko, mayaman sa pera at attitude.
💋 Sabrina “Sab” Delgado –
The Sweet-but-Deadly. Parang soft girl pero killer mag-plano ng chismis at social sabotage. Smile pa rin habang nilulugmok ka.
Bianca’s POV
Oh? Look at that sad little thing in the hallway. Another toy to play with. Let’s make this fun. 😈
Bianca: "Girls, tingnan niyo ‘yun. Newbie alert! Mukhang probinsyana. Time to entertain ourselves."
Jane POV:
What the heck?? Andyan lang siya from kanina?? Hindi marunong magtanong or magbasa? Akala ko ba matalino 'yan? Ugh. 🙄
Sab (smiles innocently pero may devil horns sa imagination mo):
“She kinda looks like… ugh. Probinsyana with no Wi-Fi.”
Jane: Let’s tease her. For fun.
Bianca & Sab:
"Let’s GOOOO."
Ysaa’s POV
Omg si Jane! She's walking toward me! (smiles awkwardly) Maybe she’s going to help me after all? Baka ipakilala pa niya ako sa mga friends niya! OMG I feel so touched. 😭💗
Ysaa (smiling and hopeful)
: Jane! Are you going to help me?
Bianca (mocking):
Wait what—JANE? KILALA mo siya??
Jane (rolling eyes):
"Of course not? And girl may name tag ako duh. She probably just read it. Feeling close si Miss Probinsyana."
Sab:
“Ew, I was getting nervous for a second! Akala ko may kamag-anak kang ganyan… tragic!”
The Glitz girls start laughing—loud enough to pierce Ysaa’s soul. 🥲
Meanwhile, Chatty & Mil (tago mode):
Mil: "Ay grabe ‘tong mga ‘to. Parang walang parents. Tara na Chatty, tulungan na natin siya."
They finally approach Ysaa after the Glitz Clique walks away, heels clicking like evil punctuation marks.
Chatty:(gently)
" Hi! Are you okay? Ang sama nila no? Pero don’t worry, we’re here. 😊"
Mil:
"I know na-embarrass ka but wag mong damdamin. Masasanay ka rin. Tsaka friends na tayo ha? Hindi kami kagaya nila na puro hangin sa utak. 😤"
Chatty:
"Oy girl, keep it down baka marinig tayo!"
Ysaa (still sad but smiling):
" Hi… I’m Ysaa. Thank you talaga. Akala ko, no one would talk to someone like me."
Mil:
"Girl, excuse me? Ang ganda mo kaya. Come on, hanapin natin ‘yung class mo."
Chatty:
"Let me see your class slip, girl. Check natin kung sang class ka."
Inabot ni Ysaa ang papel. Chatty checks it... and screams like it’s fate.
Chatty:
"OH. EM. GEEE!!! MAGKAKLASE TAYO!!! Destinyyyy!!! 💖"
All three burst into laughter and kilig. Finally, Ysaa felt she wasn’t totally alone in this sosyal jungle.
Ysaa’s POV:
Thank you, Lord! May kakampi ako. Ang bait pa nila, at ang gaganda!
Mil:
"Girl, warning lang ha… pag nakita mo ‘yung ibang classmates natin, wag kang mawindang."
Ysaa:
"Nako, chill lang ako. Wala akong pake kung sino man sila. Ako nga late pumasok diba? Ako dapat mahiya!"
Chatty & Mil: ... exchange looks 👀
The bell rings! 📣 Start of class. Students are filing in. Some seats are still empty. Until someone knocks on the door....
Ma’am Portea Delgado (in full drag energy):
“PASOK! What time is it?! LATE NA NAMAN KAYO SA ORAS!” yes, she gives “terror prof” realness.
Enter: The A4 of Red Oak University – Zayden, Luca, Damon, and the icy Teo. Literal heartbreakers.
Ma’am Portea:
“Kailan ba kayo magbabago, ha?!"
Luca & Damon:
“Sorry po Ma’am, di na po mauulit.” 😇
Zayden: (laughing)
Teo (deadpan, emotionless, not caring at all):
Girls in class:
Gasps left and right. Parang may dumaan na meteor shower.
Random Classmate:
“Lord, kung yan na po ang plot twist ng buhay ko, sige na. Ibigay mo na.”
Mil & Chatty (lowkey shrieking):
Mil:
“Chatty, hawak. Di ko na kaya. Ang gwapo nung isa—wait, alin ba doon? LAHAT!”
Chatty:
“Gusto ko lang naman mag-aral... pero kung ganito ang view, pwede na rin ma-distract.”
Mil (whispering, Kilig overload)
"Girl! Yan na sila! Ang A4. Ang mga diyos ng hallway!. Yan ‘yung sinasabi ko. Ang gwapo diba?”
Ysaa (deadpan):
"Ano daw? Sinong gwapo? Di ko gets."
Chatty:
"Girl, Teo yun! Si cold prince!"
Ysaa:
"Wala akong planong kiligin. Saka wala akong pake so let’s focus on Ma’am muna.”
Class ends. Lunchtime na!
Zayden (noticing Ysaa):
“Yow, si lost girl! Kaklase pala natin ‘to. Hahaha! Let’s mess around a bit.”
Luca:
“Oo nga! “Sayang naman ‘yung moment niya kanina. Tara, let’s tease her a bit.”
Just as Ysaa, Chatty, and Mil try to leave the classroom...
Damon blocks the door:
“Ladies, saan punta? Bawal lumabas… unless you answer one thing.”
Mil & Chatty: OMG!!! Napansin tayo ni Damon!!! (internal screaming)
Ysaa: Excuse me? Gutom na ako. Di kita kilala. Move please. 😑
Mil (kilig but nervous.):
Girl wait lang, wag mo silang sungitan, pogi sila hahaha.
Ysaa:
Hala kayo, let’s not waste our time sa mga lalaking walang sense of urgency. Gutom na ako.
Zayden & Luca:
“OUCH. Someone’s brave.”
Teo (slight smirk):
Interesting.
Damon:
“You don’t know who we are, do you?”
Ysaa:
“And I don’t need to. Tabi dyan." 😤
Mil & Chatty (awkward but kilig):
"Hahaha sorry po… gutom lang siya. Byee!"
To be continued…
