CHAPTER I“1, 2, 3. Okay. Nice Shot. Good Job Krissy. For sure, patok na naman ang June issue ng Fashionista.”
Krissy: Hehe. Thanks po.
“Okay, pack-up na.”Finally, the photo shoot is over. I can now have a rest. I’ve been doing this thing for about two years and I’m not happy about it. By the way, I’m Kristaline Angelica Valdez and I’m 17 years old. You must be wondering why I have a photo shoot. Well, I’m a model and I’ve been in the modeling world for 2 years.
Krissy’s Mom: Iha, is your photo shoot’s done?
Krissy: Yes ma
Krissy’s Mom: Tomorrow, we will have a meeting with the owner of Stylistic Magazine coz they want you to be their cover girl on their mag’s July issue.
Krissy: Mom, but I just finished doing one for your magazine’s next issue.Yeah, you heard it right. My mom is the owner of one of the Philippines leading magazine, the Fashionista. Well, si mom talaga ang may gusto na pumasok ako sa modeling world. Ayoko talaga. Why? because I don’t wanna be famous. I almost have everything. My mom is an owner of a fashion mag while my dad has a business in the US. I always get what I want. I could even live this life without working. My mom forced me to and I couldn’t turn it down.
Krissy’s Mom: But Krissy, nakapag-set na ako ng meeting and we can’t cancel it.
Krissy: Mom, you know naman that I really don’t like this field.
Krissy’s Mom: I know. That’s why I forced you. Sayang ang ganda mo anak kung di mo rin papakinabangan. You have what it takes to be one of the top models and opportunities are coming to you, why don’t you just grab it?
Krissy: Okay mom. I’ll do this for you.
Krissy’s Mom: Good girl. That’s why di ako nagsisisi na ikaw ang naging anak ko. I just love my mom so much that even though I don’t like it, I still continue doing it. well, you can’t blame me. Siya lang mag-isa ang nagpalaki sa akin. My parents separated when I was 13 years old but I still have communication with my dad. And at times, nagpapadala siya ng something for me. I’m not mad at my dad. I understand the both of them when they decided to separate. Minsan nga, nagpupunta ako sa US just to visit my dad. May family na siya dun but they’re nice to me naman. I don’t have any problem with them.
Krissy’s Mom: Krissy, daan muna tayo ng bookstore. Let’s see kung okay yung sales ng latest issue natin. Yung cover si Wesley Perez.Wesley Perez. How I hate that guy. Why? Ang yabang ng lalaking yan. Akala mo siya na ang pinakagwapong tao sa mundo. I still remember what happened nung may photo shoot siya sa studio namin kasi nga siya yung cover nung mag namin for May.
Flashback (2 months ago)
I went to my mom’s office coz we have something to talk about. Well, ako kasi ang magiging cover girl ng June issue ng magazine niya. Kahit ayoko, kailangan kong gawin for the sake of my mom.
I was walking towards my mom’s office when suddenly.
BOOG
Wes: Anu ba? Tumingin ka nga sa dinadaanan mo.
Krissy: Sorry ha. I didn’t mean to.
Wes: Wag mong sabihin na anak ka nag may-ari, I really don’t care
Krissy: Hey. Wala naman akong sinasabi ah. Ang yabang mo, akala mo kung sino ka.
Wes: If I know, crush mo lang ako.
Ang kapal talaga ng mukha ng lalaking ito. Pinapainit nya ang dugo ko.
Krissy: Aba. Ang kapal mo din noh. Pasalamat ka nga kinuha ka ng mom ko para maging cover ng mag namin. Wala na kasing maisip kaya no choice, kinuha ka.
Then I walked out. I really don’t like him. I thought he’s nice. But I was wrong. He is super duper masungit, suplado at mayabang.
Flashback ends.Dun na nag-start yung matindi kong inis para sa Wesley Perez na yun. My mom knew it but when i told her about it, she just laughed. Arg. Nakakainis talaga.
Krissy: Mom, bakit pa? You can know it naman without going here and checking it personally. Tsaka, andaming makakakita sa akin dito.
Krissy’s Mom: ayaw mo nun? It means, you’re famous.
Krissy: Mom, never in my life I dreamt of becoming famous. Okay na ako sa pagiging anak ng isang may-ari ng magazine. Being an ordinary student is much better.Oo, mas maganda talaga kung ordinaryong student na lang ako. When I was in High School, they used to call me as Ms. Popular. I was in my 4th year when I started doing this thing. At dun nagsimula yung pagiging popular ko sa school. I used to join contests at school at syempre, panalo ako. And now na college na ako sa pasukan, I expect na ganun pa din but as much as possible, I’ll act as a normal teenager and as an ordinary student.
Krissy’s Mom: Fine. Pero nasa taas ka na. Gusto mo pa bang bumaba? Anak, you have lots of fans, suki ka ng mga magazine. Kapag ikaw ang cover, laging maganda ang sales. Iha, pinapaganda mo ang takbo ng company ko. You must be proud of yourself. Proud? Why would I? Kasi maganda ang takbo ng company coz of me. I know, I’m the next president of her company. Kaya nga pati course ko siya rin ang pumili. Something related to fashion and design. Though I really want to be a Chef someday. Funny as it may seem but I really love cooking. I have passion for it.
Krissy: Okay. I’m proud of myself, really proud. (in a sarcastic way)Ayun, my mom checked everything. From the magazines on the shelf hanggang sa stocks nila and she was really happy about the result kasi out of stocks. Yeah, Wes is really famous. Everyone’s been looking up to him as the most gorgeous male model except me. I admit he has the looks and the body but attitude, NUH!!!
Krissy’s Mom: Krissy, iha, I think I know that guy. Look, the one who is wearing a blue shirt and Capri pants (while pointing).
Krissy: Ah yeah, you really know him coz I know him too. Bakit siya nandito? At papalapit pa sa amin.
”Hi Tita.”
