“They will announce you already as the new CEO, hija, at the gala.” My mother said while we were in the living room. It has been days since that meeting with the family and currently, we are preparing for our departure two days from now. I just gave her a smile. “I know, Mom,” I answered before looking back at my laptop where I am reconnecting with my former boss and Flannel’s requirements for school next academic year. “Alright, you should bring Flannel to our designer, then. We need to look gorgeous in the gala, hija,” she said while smiling from ear to ear. I just rolled my eyes and nodded at her. I went back to making my Flannel’s requirements again. She didn’t bother me anyway. She just stood and went to my dad’s office. I shrugged and continued what I was doing. I want to finish everything before our flight to the US, so all I would think about once we get there will be just the house where my parents will be staying and how I will get back to work again. I was lucky enough b
All my life, I have been trained to be the best. I was trained to always follow the norm, the standard. I was little miss perfect. They turned me into one, and I had no choice but to be one. I didn’t have much freedom growing up because there were a lot of expectations from me. They were all watching me. I couldn’t move freely because every move that In make, they will always have a say about it. When college and Gregory came, that’s when I first got a taste of my freedom. It was forbidden, but every time we go out on our own, I just felt so free. I felt like I was spreading my wings and flying to wherever I want to go. I was out of the limelight. No one was giving a fuck about what I do and no one was judging me from head to toe. But then that freedom with Gregory has its perils. I was so much ready to fight for him, but it turned out that he was not worth to fight for. Greg is my first love and my first heartbreak. What he did to me and to my family was just so much that I couldn’t
"Hi, Felice!" "Gosh, Felice is so nice!" "Yeah I want to be like her too!" "You bet, sis! She's totally the girl to look up to!" I heave a sigh upon hearing those. Most college girls would want to listen to those compliments, but not me. I just find it annoying and … not true. I mean, it's obvious that they don't really mean what they say. They are just saying those because they want me to notice them, and they want me to notice them because I'm popular. If they get to be close with me and be with my flock, they will eventually get to the top. I rolled my eyes at that though
I wasn't really that comfortable staying in the student council office ever since I knew that Sir Greg will be our substitute adviser. I don't know, every time I see him that embarrassing moment with him keeps on playing in my head.I'd like to scold myself for being so OA with that matter.I groaned in frustration as I sort out the papers that I needed to sign."Miss Lemuel." I almost jumped from my seat when I heard that voice. I immediately looked up and saw my substitute adviser's face."Uhm yes sir?""I would just like to remind you about our student council meeting this afternoon," he said. I gulped and immediately nodded my head."Noted, sir." He nodded too before finally closing the door. I let out a heavy sigh and continue sorting the papers.I took a small glance on my watch and I still have so much time before my next class starts, which is Philippine history by the way.When I fin
I stayed up late that night because I have so many readings in Philippine History. I also have three papers to make for my communication subject and I still have to answer queries from the dean's office about our upcoming acquaintance."Felice, you're not asleep yet?" I turned around and saw mommy and daddy who just went in.I smiled and stood."Good evening, mom, dad," I greeted and kissed them both on the cheeks."Why are you still up? It's getting late already," mommy said. I just sighed and shrugged."I still have a lot of things to do, mom. Don't worry I'll sleep before 12," I assured her. She stared at me for a bit, but eventually nodded her head."Okay, we'll go upstairs already, okay? Go to bed after.""Yes, mom."I heaved a sigh and went back to my chair. I could do these in my room, but that will just make m
I was silently scolding my self as I continued to read our second reading for phil. history. I was cramming already! I wasn't able to finish reading it last night because I got so distracted about Sir Greg's message, I don't even know why!I groaned in frustration as I continue to scribble through the words, but I ended up re-reading it again. The concepts won't get in my head and it's frustrating me more! Gosh, Felice! Why are you so distracted?!I took a quick glance on my wristwatch and I barely have 5 minutes before class. I threw a dagger on my classmates who were being so noisy. They're just adding to my frustration! I cannot concentrate!"Good morning, class." I froze on my seat when I heard that voice.Damn it!
It was Sunday. My cousins from my father's side would usually visit our house during this day. Mommy has declared Sunday a family day so we really have no choice but to gather here in our house."Felice! Why aren't you dressed yet?! You cousins will arrive soon!" I heard mom yelling.I almost rolled my eyes and closed the book that I was reading. I stood up and went inside the house. Mommy is with our maids in the garden, preparing our lunch. It's still quarter to 9, but it has been our tradition to go to mass every Sunday with the whole clan.I went to the kitchen and just grabbed a sandwich before heading back to my room. I sat on my bed and ate my sandwich first.I got my phone and messaged my cousin, Karrie. We're just a small clan actually. Daddy has two more siblings, a girl and a boy. Both of my tito and tita has two children each while daddy has me only.Karrie is my clos
I was becoming weirder ever since I had that talk with Karrie. Oh my god. I have a crush on my History Prof!I was already uncomfortable around him before, but it got worse now. I couldn't even look at him anymore! That realization made me more uncomfortable.I gulped when I saw him from my pheriperal view. It was our first quiz and I hate it because he keeps on walking around! I feel like my heart will go out of my chest whenever he stops beside me! Why does he even need to stop?!Ugh! Felice, you need to concentrate! Oh my gosh. This is a quiz!"Five minutes left."My eyes widened when I heard his voice. I quickly looked at my test paper and I still have three more question
