I was seventeen and at this age, I am already on top of everything. I can have everything that I want. Gasgas na yata iyong linya but it's one of the perks of having rich parents. I can have everything as I please. While growing up, my father told me that if I want the moon I just have to say it and it will be mine. So, I did. I told him that I wanted the moon, he just smiled and the next Saturday, we flew to Washington DC – sa NASA para lang magkaroon ako ng personal field trip sa mismong facilities nila.
It was a blast for the eight year old girl inside of me. That day was the day that I realized that I really can have everything.
Yes, I am spoiled. If I don't get what I want, I will throw a tantrum na umuubra naman sa Mama at Papa ko. Kapag nakita na ni Papa na malungkot ako, he will do everything for me to have what I want.
It got stuck on me. Hanggang sa lumaki ako ay nakukuha ko ang gusto ko. Sa school – ako ang Queen Bee. Ako ang trend setter. The girls would kill just to be my friends. Minsan, talo ko pa nga yata si Blair Waldorf. Even the teachers fear me. Alam nilang pamangkin ako ng nagpapatakbo ng school at pamilya ng Mama ko ang nagmamay-ari dito kaya lahat sila kapag naglalakad ako – tumatabi sila.
They never want to cross my way kundi, itutulak ko sila – literally.
No one can ever tell me what I want to do in my life. I am the boss. I am a bully – I am a bitch. Wala, mana lang ako sa Mama ko. Mom taught me that I can be a bitch pero kailangan nasa lugar ako – like pwede ba iyon? What if I don't like the person? I cannot roll my eyes at her? Hindi naman pwede iyon. Paano kung pareho kami ng oufit? Well, I smiled to myself. No one can ever afford what I am wearing kasi nga I'm like so rich.
Quote and unquote my mom We are filthy fucking rich!
"Hey, Tia!"
I was walking on the corridors of the school when that voice came out of nowhere. I looked back and saw Haley Demitri approaching me. She was wearing the same uniform as mine. One thing I hate about Haley was her eyes. It creeps me out! Isang black, isang green. Para siyang pusa. Nakangiti siya sa akin but I was only looking at her.
Haley Demitri is a smart ass. She's on top of the class. If I am the Queen Bee, she's the Queen of all academics. Like I care. I waited for her para makalapit tapos ay binesobeso niya ako.
"Pwedeng pasabay? Mom has a meeting eh." Sabi niya sa akin. I rolled my eyes.
"Sure. The driver's already here. Bilisan mo ha." Sabi ko sabay talikod. I don't like being seen with her. Sabi ni Mama, hindi daw magandang kasama ang mga anak ni Helios Demitri kasi lahat sila savage. Mga walang modo at kung ano-ano pa. Of course, I believe her lalo na ngayon na nalaman ng lahat na si Hyan Demitri – Haley's big sister is actually Juan Sanque's mistress. How fucked up was that? Hindi lang iyon – Hyron Demitri – iyong Kuya naman niya, na inakala ng lahat na patay na ay buhay pala at nagbabalik siya ngayon sa buhay naming lahat.
Like gosh... Hindi sila matino! Buti pa ang mga kapatid ko – lalo na si Kuya Achill, papasang pari.
We rode my car. Sinabi ko sa driver na ihatid muna si Haley sa Yza Demitri's mansion. Hindi naman ako nagsasalita. Wala akong masasabi sa kanya kasi I don't like her. I'm just being civil to her, at kaya ko lang naman siya inihahatid ay dahil naaawa ako sa kanya. Kung hindi naman ako naaawa, paglalakarin ko siya. Like, duh... I'm Tia Vejar, do I need to explain anything more?
After that nerve-wrecking traffic we experienced, nakarating kami sa exclusive village kung saan sila nakatira. The driver parked his car in front of their house tapos ay nilingon ko ang pinsan ko.
