Life Of An Heiress (Tagalog)

Chapter 12

"So let me introduce myself again. I am your homeroom advicer Miss Selena Mondragon and I will be your teacher for Proper Etiquettes and Poise. We'll be meeting 3 times a week with 1 hour and a half a day. I'll be meeting you guys every Monday, Wednesday and Friday so I do really hope that you'll participate very well in my class" sabi nito kaya napalunok ako.

shems. Di ako nainform na may subject pa lang ganto dito. Di talaga ako nainform. Waahh Lord... send help. Sana kakayanin ko 'to.

May nagtaas ng kamay naman kaya nakuha nito ang atensyon ni Miss.

"Yes Miss Falko. Do you need to say anything?" tanong ni Miss kaya tumayo na yung babaeng feeling ko hindi ko dapat banggain. She looks so femine yet a meanie. She's really pretty yet a bully vibe radiates around her. Geez. I think, I should't stick my nose into her business to avoid any conflicts. In other word, I should avoid her.

"What's that freaking scholar doing in our section? Are you mocking us miss? This section is known for being an elite circle so why putting a stone in here? Don't you feel disgusted? That poor b***h doesn't deserves to be in our place. Get her out. Now!" ani nito kaya napayuko na lang ako.

Narinig ko kung pano umalingaw-ngaw ang mapanuksong tawa ng mga kaklase ko at karamihan sa kanila ay sumang-ayon dito.

"Mina's right. She's putting dirt into our class reputation"

"I hate her guts. She's so ugly pa naman"

"Tama. And she's also that girl na kasama nina Princess Cassy kanina diba? sino ba siya at bakit ang kapal ng mukha niya?"

"Add the fact na kasunod niyang pumasok si Prince Zion kanina. Geez what a w***e"

"Ang aga-aga nilalandi na niya yung prinsipe natin. I hate her"

"Palabasin niyo na siya Miss. Ayaw namin ng basura dito!"

"Baka nilandi niya yung head ng admission office kaya nakapasok yan dito sa academy"

"Dirt!"

"Scumbag"

"Malandi!"

"Oh I remember. Siya yung dahilan kaya nag-away sina Prince Zion at Prince Ryuu noon sa coffee shop"

"What? really? ang kapal naman ng mukha niya"

"Ang landi talaga"

"Now she's already on my death list"

"Eww such a gold digger"

"Silence class!" Nagtitimping saad ni Miss pero parang walang narinig yung mga kaklase ko.

I could feel how those streaming tears flows down from my eyes. What they were saying right now were not true. Below the belt na yung ibang sinasabi nila.

Naramdaman ko naman na may humawak sa balikat ko at tumayo sa tabi ko. By her scent I know it's Cassy. Mas lalo tuloy akong napaiyak. She's here saving me again. Pano na kang kung wala siya sa tabi ko?

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Sigaw nito na siyang nagpatahimik agad sa lahat. Some were shock and some immediately took their phone out to take a video of what's happening.

"Princess Cassiopeia. That's an inappropriate thing a princess mustn't do. Refrain yourself from doing that thing again your highness. Shouting isn't good for your image" histerikal na saad ni Miss.

"I don't care. Anong gusto niyo? hahayaan ko na lang na pagsalitaan ng hindi maganda yung bestfriend ko?"

"But--"

"If I hear any of you talking bad things about her I won't hesitate to give you guys some punishment under my name." sabi nito na siyang nagpatahimik sa lahat pero ket ganun may konting bulungan pa rin ang natitira.

"And one more thing. If I see any video in this scene that has been leaked, I won't hesitate to punish you and your family as well" dagdag nito kaya kanya-kanyang tago ang lahat sa mga mamahaling cellphone nila.

"Be humane please. Doesn't mean we came from a rich family eh pwede na tayong tumapak ng ibang tao. You guys were way more scumbag than Dane" ani naman ni Kelly.

"Right. And pwede ba, our friend here isn't ugly. Mas ugly pa kaya yung attitude niyo kesa sa kanya like ewness. Learn to know your places please" maarte namang saad ni Summer.

Kinuha naman ni Cassy yung bag ko bago hinawakan ang kamay.

"So please excuse us Miss Selena. Me and my friends just want to breath some fresh air away from the toxicity that this classroom have" ani nito bago ako hinila palabas ng classroom.

Alam ko ring sumunod sina Summer at Kelly samin. May mga yabag kaseng tila humahabol samin.

Dinala ako ng tatlo sa greenhouse ng school. Maganda dito kase peaceful at tahimik. Unlike sa room na ang daming judgementa at nangunguna yung Mina Falko na yun. Tsk.

Actually sa picture lang ako nakakakita ng ganito eh at sa totoo lang hindi ko mapigilang mamangha sa greenhouse nila. This place was made of glass at ang laki ng space dito sa loob. Ang ganda dito at ang sarap tingnan nung mga berdeng tanim nila. Nakaorganized lahat ng mga tanim at sa pinakagitna nito ay may malaking fountain na pinapalibutan ng nakacircle na cemento kung saan pwede kang umupo. The fountain seems like dancing with the wind which makes me smile and forgot what happend earlier for a couple of seconds. Haha.

"Urrgh I really hate them. Really? kung makapagsalita eh kala mo naman kilala nila si Dane. I do really hate their guts. Ang kakapal" ani Cassy.

"Lalo na yung Mina yun. Nako buti na lang nakapagtimpi pa ako kanina kundi baka nasampal ko na yun." ani naman ni Summer.

"Chill ka lang Summer. Ket ako nga muntik na yung sugurin kanina. Kung hindi lang ako pinigilan ni Trevor nako baka nagkablack eye na yun ngayon. Nako baka siya yung magiging example ng pagiging black belter ko hahahaha"

Napangiti naman ako sa sinabi nila. Naiiyak na naman ako ulit. Ang swerte ko at naging kaibigan ko sila kahit bago lang kami nagkakilala.

"Thank you sa inyong tatlo. Kung wala kayo kanina baka ngayon pa lang umalis nako sa paaralang ito"

"Oh no you don't. Hindi ka aalis dito okay? hinding hindi" napangiti ako ulit sa sinabi ni Cassy.

"Opo your highness. Hindi ako aalis dito dahil nangako akong sasamahan kita sa paaralang ito" sabi ko na ikinatawa nito.

"Pero totoo. Sobrang thankful ko kase tinuring niyo akong kaibigan eventhough bago lang tayo nagkakilala" sabi ko sabay tingin kina Summer at Kelly.

"At bago lang ulit tayo nagkita" ani ko sabay tingin kay Cassy.

"Being your friend means so much to me. Maraming salamat talaga"

"Haha no worries. Alam naming mapili at magaling mamili si Cassy ng mga kaibigan niya kaya tiwala kami sa iyo." Ani Kelly.

"Kyaah welcome to our circle of friends Dane. Don't worry hindi ka magsisisi na naging kaibigan mo kami" sabi naman ni Summer.

"So true. We are sisters by heart so we will protect you no matter what"

Napaiyak naman ako sa sinabi nila. Huhu bakit ba kase ang babaw ng luha ko?

"Uwuu isang group hug nga" tili ni Summer kaya nag group hug kami.

"Haha so... should we give our circle a name like kina Trevor?" tanong ni Kelly matapos yung group hug namin hihi.

"Eww no way. Ang baduy kaya nun" nakasimangot na saad ni Summer na sinang ayunan ni Cassy.

"Anong baduy. R6 isn't that bad you know"

"Anong R6?" tanong ko.

"Yung tawag ng lahat sa grupo nina Trevor. R6 is short for Royal 6 and this group was consist of 6 persona which are Prince Zion, Prince Ryuu, Prince Axl, Price Trevor, Prince Travis and Alaistair. Ali isn't a prince but mind telling you that his visual was insanely breathtaking. He looks like a prince in disguise. He's the son of the most wealthiest magnate ever existed. Actually crush yun ni Summer. Right dear Summer?" sabi ni Kelly sabay baling kay Summer na ngayon ay namumula na ang mukha.

"Anong crush?! wag ka ngang ma-issue jan Kelly. Ikaw nga Trevor ng Trevor. Ni wala namang Prince na nakaadress"

"Of course dear Summer. She can call her boyfriend whatever she wanted to call him. Right Kelly?" nakangiting saad ni Cassy kaya si Kelly na naman ngayon ang nahot sit.

"H-hoy di kaya"

"wehh?" nakangising saad ni Cassy.

"Psh. Okay. Oo boyfriend ko si Trevor. Kamakailan ko lang siya sinagot and we want to make our relationship private so kayong tatlo pa lang ang nakakaalam"

"Omygosh! really? bat di mo sinabi sakin? ang unfair mo lam mo yun?" nakangusong saad ni Summer.

"Knowing you Summer. Sobrang daldal mo eh so si Cassy yung una kong sinabihan"

"Waaahuhuhu walang tiwala sakin si Kelly. Di na kami bati huhuhu" sabi ni Summer at may papunas pang nalalaman sa invisible tears nito. Kaya nabutakan ito ni Kelly na ikinapout niya. Napatawa naman kami ni Cassy sa kanilang dalawa.

HAha seriously? i didn't expect that their world-wide known model was like this. Maybe I was indeed lucky to see her on this side.

Nagtagal pa kami ng ilang minuto sa greenhouse bago napagpasyahang umalis. Tumunog na kase yung bell tanda na tapos na ang klase at lunch break na.

Mabalis lumipas ang oras at akalain mong lunch time na nga talaga. Kumulo naman yung tiyan ko. Gutom nako huhu.

"Kyaah lunch time is here. Let's go na to the cafeteria girls. My tummy's already growling na talaga. Kanina pa talaga ako nagugutom" sabi ni Summer at nagpout. Tumawa naman si Summer bago nagsalita.

"Halos lahat ng oras ka namang gutom eh." pambabara nito kaya nakatanggap siya ng batok mula kay Summer. At yan na po guys. Nagsimula na po silang magbangayan.

Hinawakan naman ni Cassy yung kamay ko kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.

"Let's go Dane." Natatawang sabi nito at hinila ako paalis leaving those two who are still fighting.

"Hey you two! wait up!" sigaw nina Summer at Kelly at hinabol kami.

Napatawa na lang ako sa inasta nila. What they have done right now shocks those people around us. Haha don't tell me hindi normal sa kanila na makitang sumisigaw ang isang Keizara Kelly Miller at Summer Blythe Trumann.

Narinig ko kung pano magpigil ng tawa si Cassy kaya napatingin ako dito.

"Mahirap magpigil ng tawa Cassy. Sige ka baka mautot ka" mahinang saad ko dito kaya tuluyan itong napatawa.

"Oh my gosh Dane. That was ridiculous hahahaha" natatawang saad nito.

"Good gracious. Did you throw some silly jokes Dane? bakit tawang-tawa si Cassy?" agad na tanong ni Kelly pagkarating nito sa pwesto namin na siyang sinang-ayunan naman ni Summer.

"Can we hear it too?"

Magsasalita na sana ako ng naunahan ako ni Cassy.

"Just... don't mind me ladies. It's for me to know and for you not to find out" sabi nito at tumawa ulit. Napasimangot naman ang dalawa kaya napangiti ako.

"Ang unfair naman" sabi ni Kelly.

"Oo nga"

"Hay naku. Wag niyo na ngang isipin yung walang kwenta kong joke" sabi ko. Tho di ko inakalang iisipin nilang joke yung sinabi ko kay Cassy kanina. Kase totoo naman diba? nakaka fart kaya yung pagpipigil ng tawa. Ge try niyo nga minsan. Haha charoot.

"Pero totoo, bat shock na shock sila ng makitang sumigaw kayo kanina? Di ba overreaction yun?"

Nagkatinginan naman silang tatlo bago tumawa kaya nasa amin na naman ang atensyon ng ilang studyante na nandito ngayon sa corridor. Seriously? anong nakakatawa sa tanong ko?

"Haha just don't mind them na lang Dane. Maybe they aren't sanay to see us doing those stuffs and in this state" ani Summer.

"True. I think they were not used to see us shouting. But it isn't that loud right?" Tanong ni Kelly na ikinailing nina Cassy at Summer.

"Urgh. I don't know why it sounds so big deal to them. We're still humans for pete's sake and we're still capable of doing things we wanted to do"

Napabuntong hininga naman si Cassy.

"Of course. With our surenames, it would probably a big deal to them" ani Cassy kaya napatango naman ako.

"Yeah you're probably right. That's also the reason why I prefer to be a commoner than to have a title. Kaso wala eh. I was destined to have this kind of life. To be born with silver spoon" sabi ni Kelly.

"Hahah that's a word from our beloved Prince Ryuu's cousin and one of the heir of Miller Empire." natatawang saad ni Summer kaya napa irap na lang si Kelly.

"Oh you shut up aw-so-called famous model worldwide and sole heir of Trumann State and Companies" nakangising saad nito na ikinasimangot ni Summer.

"Okay that's enough. Baka magsabunutan pa kayo jan sa gitna ng hallway eh hindi na tayo makakapunta sa cafeteria instead detention yung bagsak natin." Sabat ni Cassy. Nagkatinginan naman ang dalawa at sabay na nagsalita.

"Yes your highness" magiliw na ani ng mga ito kaya si Cassy na naman ang napasimangot.

"Argh stop it you two. It's not funny"

"Haha what? we didn't mean to make you laugh. Bakit? masama bang magbigay galang sa mahal na prinsesa naming si Princess Cassiopeia Amandra Juvilia?" Ani Kelly.

"Tama. Besides, you're a real princess so it won't bother us to call you as one. Right Dane?" nakangising saad ni Summer kaya sumang-ayon nalang ako.

"Geez. You guys already know how much I hate being treated as one especially if it were you guys." ani Cassy na tila naiinis na kaya tumawa na lang kami.

"Oo na, oo na po Cassy" sabay naming sabi kaya napangiti ito samin.

"Much better" nakangiting saad nito bago naunang maglakad. Sumunod naman ang dalawa sa kanya kaya naiwan akong nakatayo sa pwesto namin kanina.

Napabuntong hininga naman ako habang tinatanaw ang tatlo kong bagong kaibigan na unti-unting lumalayo na sa pwesto ko. They were smiling and to be honest, they were perfect.

I could really see how people looks at them whenever they pass by. Their well-being speaks fame and power which I don't even have. There's a huge difference between me and them and it makes me doubt myself more. Am I worthy to be in their circle of friends? coz as you can see, pagkasama ko sila hindi ko maiwasang manliit sa sarili ko. Para akong sampid na pilit kumakapit sa mga nagkikislapang mga bato na ito. Para tuloy akong 1 percent na germ na natitira sa safeguard. Hay nako.

"Hey Dane. Hurry up. Naiiwan ka na" nakangiting saad ni Cassy habang kumakaway sakin.

Napangiti naman ako. I know being with them feels like holding a knife on its edge. The more I hold unto them, the more it will hurt me. But, they were worth the pain naman di ba?

Despite of those dagger looks that I'm recieving right now ay ngumiti pa rin ako ng matamis kay Cassy.

I don't care about their hate towards me right now. Mainggit na ang mainggit. Ang mahalaga ay may kaibigan na ako ngayon. Kaibigang pwede ko ng tawaging tunay.

"Coming" nakangiting saad ko at tinakbo na ang direction nito.
