Chapter One,
   Aina

      There are moments in life when everyone thinks falsely of you but you don't bother to explain the truth. You just zipped your mouth shut like that and let them move your fate around.


Looking down at my phone, I unconsciously slid my finger, scrolling through all the hate comments I knew were directed at me. The background in which the school program was happening continues. I can't pay attention to it. I feel like I'm being sucked into my phone even though this is the first time in two months I've used it.


@A you deserved to be drowned in harina because you crashed our dreams. We don't have THAT big night na tuloy!


OMG, she's a daughter of an inspiring actress pa naman??! smh.


Super looking forward pa naman for prom. So frustrating naman sa taong 'yun :(


Babes, walang gamit ang talino mo kung magna ka


Thriving magnakaw si treasurer para sa business. Eww sa parents for tolerating😂🤮


The mic echoes in my ear as someone speaks, "With our motto to 'Leave No One Behind', let us call the winners of the debate team at regional levels!"


I bit my lower lip at sinubukan kong pigilin ang namumuong tensyon sa lalamunan ko. I can't accept that I'm so sensitive that I get hurt by unnecessary comments like these.


Pero tao pa rin ako. A teenager, in fact, who's suffering because she's more mature than anyone her age.


"... and Aihn Melina Gomez! Let's give them a round of applause!"


I quickly tucked the cell phone inside the pocket of my checkered skirt. Nasimulan ko na ang paglalakad nang kalaunan ay maramdaman ko ang nanghuhusga nilang mga tingin. Although I couldn't accurately hear what other students were whispering, I knew I was the subject of their tales. Nahihirapan akong huminga. I thought I liked it when others attention are on me— but it's different this time. Para bang lahat silang nandito ay handa akong tapusin ano mang oras. Para bang isang maling galaw ko lang ay kamatayan na agad ang haharapin ko.
