「 Dorrine Jaine Smith's POV 」

WE ARE ALL gathering inside the council's conference hall after being called by Miss Allegre—or as we called her Ate Rhianne, outside the campus— to have a short meeting about the transferees from the rival's school before the opening of school happen today.

I groaned in annoyance upon remembering how she pestered us early in the morning just to remind everyone of us that we need to discuss this matter early in the morning at the first day of school —which happens to be today—and she pestered us at 4 in the morning, again, today. How nice. Fucking insert my sarcasm there.

“Do ya'll understand what I've just said?” she asked. I nodded boredly while looking at myself in the mirror—putting my lipstick on—even though I have put one already before we leave the house we're living.

“Actually, ang naintindihan ko lang 'yong part na may transferees,” I heard Phariz's said that. I rolled my eyes. She's really dumb sometimes.

“Do we really need to entertain them? I mean, why us?” Halley asked. Yeah, why us? I'll get bored, well unless, they're someone I can play with.

Acrually, hindi ko pa alam kung sinu-sino ba iyong mga hangal na lumipat sa GIA, at wala akong balak alamin, unless again, pwede ko silang paglaruan. That's more fun and the only entertaining I can do for them.

“Because you all are the rule maker here? The Queens?” Ate Rhianne said questioningly.

“They're old enough to entertain themselves without the help of us,” it was Mishia who said those.

“They're not an infant who needs to be entertained,” Jasha added.

“I can help, well, unless they're guys and you'll let me play with them, or at least isa sa kanila,” I told her sweetly before putting down my mirror and my lipstick.

Napailing naman sila Halley sakin pati na din si Ate Rhi. What? I am just suggesting? At least tutulong ako diba?

“Dorrine, I told you, hindi lahat ng lalaki laruan,” tila napapagod na saad niya. Nagkibit-balikat ako.

“They are. Well, at least some of them. Boring kasi iyong iba,” aniko saka natatawang umiling.

“You're hopeless,” Maegan uttered. I just smiled at her sweetly.

“Bitter ka lang,” inirapan niya naman ako. I don't care.

“I can help, I guess. I don't have anything to do pa naman,” Quelli spoke. Oh, tutulong ang dakilang prinsesa. That's nice, for sure mabibingi iyong mga transferee sa kanya.

“Well, I guess I can help din naman,” ani Halley. Kanina ayaw niya a? What's nagbago?

“Guys, my dear Queens of GIA. This is one of your responsibilities, so kailangan niyong gawin ito sa ayaw at sa gusto niyo. Naiintindihan niyo ba?” frustrated na saad ni Ate Rhi.

“We don't get it. Sa ibang transferees pwedeng ibang Royals ang mag-entertain pero sa mga bagong dating from our rival school kailangan kami talaga? What's the difference?” Maegan asked.

“Exactly,” I added.

Napatingin ako sa tatlong kanina pa tahimik. Oh, they're always silent naman, namely Jasha, Mishia and Zhoie. The three mute Queens.

“Z, don't you have a say on this?” I asked her. We should know what's her say on this because it's only her words we can trust.

“Go,” maigsing sagot niya kaya napairap ako.
