"Kendra Alleah Santos,"our lecturer mentioned my name. We are having attendance right now.

"Present, Miss," tamad na tamad kong sagot, hindi pa nga ako tumayo.

Napabuntonghininga na lang siya sa inasal ko.

Ohh, if I didn't inform you I'm a Grade 12 student and I'm studying at a prestigious school here in the city.

Habang nag-aatendance ang guro ko wala akong ibang ginawa kundi laruin ang kuko ko.

"Oh my god, hindi pa pala ako nakakapag-manicure," I whispered to myself. My nails looks ugly and I hate it.

I'll just go to the salon later after class, I really need to freshen up right now.

I'm so stressed with my acads right now because I'm an incoming college student, and I need to maintain a high grades so that I will not disappoint my parents. I'm an only child so my parents have a huge expectations to me. I am Kendra Alleah Santos the heiress of Sancruz Hotel and Resorts that my parents and grandparents built, that's why I need to be the top in everything.

Last subject ko na ito bago maglunch kaya atat na atat na kong matapos ang klase ko para makakain na ako. I didn't even listen to our discussion, because I already know the topic and our lecturer is so boring when discussing.

"Okay class dismiss," the lecturer said after she finished checking and announcing the score on our quiz.

Of course I got the highest score. Hindi na 'yon katakataka.

Sa wakas natapos na rin, ang tagal niya kasi maglesson tapos ang boring pa.

Naglakad na palabas ang guro namin samantala ang iba kong kaklase ay nag-aayos na para umalis.

Nanatili muna ako sa upuan ko habang nereretouch ang make-up ko. Ayaw ko kayang lumabas na haggard, ano nalang sasabihin ng mga tao dito na anak ng isa sa mayamang pamilya sa Pilipinas pero mukhang taong grasa. It's my routine before showing to the public everyday, I need to look presentable as always.

"Kendra hurry up! Gutom na ako!" sigaw sakin ni Pat. She's my best friend simula kindergarten kami.

"Yeah, wait lang I'm just fixing my things kasi." I said to her while fixing my things that I will put in my locker. I just finished retouching my makeup.

"Oh, can you join me in the salon later before we go home?" I asked her. "My nails looks ugly na," I showed it to her.

"Sure, basta libre mo," she winked at me then she went of the room, leaving me alone.

Kita niyo na libre na naman. Ang yaman-yaman nagpapalibre pa, dapat pala hindi ko nalang siya inaya kaya ko naman mag-isa.

Naglalakad na kami patungong cafeteria para maglunch. As usual marami na naman ang bulong-bulongan sa paligid.

Isa ako sa sikat na model dito sa Pilipinas kaya malamang pagbubulungan talaga kapag naglalakad ako sa harap nila. Nagtutulakan pa nga ang iba na parang gusto akong lapitan kaso nahihiya lang.

I always encounter people like that. They look stunned when I'm in front of them, I think they're starstruck. Maybe because of my intimidating aura, kaya natatakot silang lumapit, but if you became close to me, magiging iba ang pananaw mo sa akin. I'm very soft when it comes to the people that are close to me, kapag kasi hindi mo pa ako kaclose talagang masasabi mong maldita ako at mahirap iapproach base sa itsura ko.

Naghahanap na ngayon si Pat ng upuan namin habang ako tinawag ko ang waiter dito sa cafeteria para sabihin ang order namin kasi ayaw ko nang pumila.

"Two vegetable salad and two water, please," saad ko. I'm on a strict diet that's why I always eat foods like that, I don't eat heavy meals. Kahit na gusto kong kumain ng nga food na kinakain ng iba, I can't. Kailangan kong alagaan ang sarili, to maintain a good looking body.
