Jazz's POV :
I said my goodbye to mommy and went ahead kung saan naghihintay si Mang Popoy with the car. It's a white BMW S1 SUV. I have severe motion sickness and so I always seat in the front. Hinintay ko ang pagsakay ng mga kapatid ko. Father and their mother, was saying goodbye to them as if they are going so far away. Father did not even say goodbye to me. Kinausap nya lang si Mang Popoy and told him to drive carefully.
Mang Popoy has been my personal driver ever since I started going to school, and not even did he told the old man to drive carefully before.
I waive goodbye to mommy, habang umaandar na ang sasakyan.
SDA is just a fifteen minute drive from home as it is located in the outskirt of Forbes Park. The village for the reach.
Me : Will be in school in 15.
I sent a message to a group chat with my friends.
Lexi : What? why so early?
Yui : I thought will be there at 10?
Simon : So noisy biatches. I am still in bed.
Ang sunod sunod na message galing sa mga friends ko.
Me : Father wants me to tour my sisters.
Simon : What? are they attending SDA? I though they're a year older?
Me : They will have to start as 1st year obviously.
Lexi : Make sense. On my way to bathroom.
Yui : Preparing now. Give me an hour. Will eat breakfast in school.
This is what I like sa mga kaibigan ko. No need for long explanation and they are ready to be with you when you need them.
After fifteen minutes, I can already see SDA. The main gate is packed with cars na nakapila para makapasok sa loob. Most of them may be cars of new students.
Mang Popoy passed by the main gate and drive five minutes more hanggang sa makarating siya sa isa pang gate. This gate leads to VIP car parks. Only a number of students have access to use this gate.
The security guards readily allow the car to get inside when they saw me. I have been using this gate at the beginning of senior high.
"You can go home after this Mang Popoy. Just come back around 4 pm." I told him ng bumaba na kami.
"Sige po maam. Tawagan nyo lang po ako kung sakaling kailangan nyo ako."
I look at my two sisters up and down. Still bothered by their outfit.
They just stared back at me, and Silvia even raise an eyebrow at me.
'This b***h'
I started to walk my way to the main college campus. SDA offers nursery to college levels. But each level is separated. The college campus has a breath taking green scenery. With wide social garden, the place where students usually stay to socialize with other students during their free time. The buildings here are inspired by Gothic Architecture, so the five buildings that compose the entire college are like castles from Europe.
The first building from the parking lot is were the schools business offices and cafeteria is located. No classes are done here. But in this building, the school theater is found as well. So kung may mga school activities, symposiums at iba pa, ay dito ginagawa. The cafeteria in this building are not like any other cafeteria in other schools. The cafeteria here are built with a five star restaurant ambiance. And unlike any other cafeteria, they do not serve pre-cooked meals as well but made to order foods. And the people who works in the kitchen are not just simple cooks. But chefs and well trained waiters.
May iilan ng mga students ang nadaanan namin. Some of them are new faces to me and some are familiar already. And I noticed some of them are giggling and whispering while looking our way.
CBA is located on the second building, pero bago pa man kami makarating doon, I saw a familiar dorky guy. His wearing a black lanyard ID, black is the color for CBA.
"Lenard." I called him. I do not know him personally, but like me, he finished his senior high here in SDA.
He looked at me, surprised that I know his name.
Unknown to everyone, since hindi ko naman pinagsasabi, I have an eidetic and photographic memory. So I always remember a face with a name even if I only met them once.
"Queen." his voice was low when he approached me.
If you ask, that's the title the student's here in SDA address me. They do not address me by my name. And this is because of a certain man who addresses me as such, at lahat na lang, except for my friends, calls me that.
I use to cringe when called by that name and correct them, but the more I tell them to stop, the more the address me as queen. At naubos na ang energy ko, kaya hinayaan ko na lang sila.
"Your in CBA right?" tanong ko sa kanya, and give him a smile. Tumango naman siya bilang sagot. "Great. Can you please do me a favor?" Hinawakan ko siya sa braso and lead him to where my 'sisters' are standing. "These are my sisters." I point to the both of them, but did not bother to mention their name. Bite me. I'm petty. " There also taking up Business Ad, so can you please lead them to your office?"
Tiningnan niya sina Silvia from head to toe bago binalik ang tingin sa akin. "Ahm.."
"Please..." I said, bago pa nya matapos kung ano man ang sasabihin nya, and give him a sweet smile. A smile I know very well na walang makakatangi. Well, except my father.
"Sige, basta para sayo Queen."
Nagpasalamat ako sa kanya and left him with my sisters without saying goodbye to them. And walk my way towards the third building where College of Social Sciences is located.
They may think they can easily kick me out from my current social status just because they are father's legitimate children. But I will not go down without a fight. I did everything just to get to where I am now, and my legitimacy will never be the reason na mawawala ito sa akin.
