{ CHAPTER ONE: THE REBELLIOUS SOCIALITE }(Evianne’s POV)
*Insert music for a death scene here*
Sinimangutan ko yung reflection ko tapos hinila ko yung kumikinang na pin na nakatusok sa beehive na nasa ulo ko--ay, buhok ko pala yun.
“Don’t, you’ll ruin your hair.”
Kinuha ni Effy—zeh stylist—yung pin na kakatanggal ko lang tapos itinusok nya ulit sa buhok ko. Ugh. I’m so sparkly! Nakakainis!
“Would it hurt you to smile, Evianne?”Would it hurt you to smile, Evianne? Nye, nye, nye. Tss. Mom.I glared at my mom’s reflection na biglang na lang lumitaw sa may pintuan.
“Just go away mom. Aren’t you supposed to be outside already? You know, stop the flower girls from stomping on your roses?”Idea ni Mommy na ikasal ako sa anak ng kapatid ng pinsan ng business partner nya—for the greater good. Tss, greater good my foot!
Idea din ni Mommy na mas maganda ang garden wedding kesa sa church wedding lalo na’t bata pa kami—I’m 19, for Pete’s sake. Dapat mag-aapply ako sa trabaho ngayon, hindi ikakasal.
Lastly, idea ni Mommy na Lily of the Valley ang gamiting flowers sa wedding bouquet at sya na din ang pumili ng design nitong wedding gown na suot ko ngayon. Jusme, sya na lang kaya ikasal? Matutuwa pa ako.
“Fine. But I want you smiling and ready in five minutes. Hinihintay ka na ni Jerome.”Jerome Corporeal. Ang bunsong anak ng CEO ng C&Z Co. Mayabang, antipatiko, mukhang kabibeng nalunod, mayabang, at antipatiko.
Okay, fine. Di ko pa naman talaga nakikita o nakakausap man lang itong Jerome Corporeal na ito pero pless naman! Corporeal? Sila lang naman yung company na nagsusupply ng drills sa major construction companies sa bansa.
I don’t trust people who make drills.“Yeah mom, I’ll be out in a bit. Uh mom—pakibitbit na din pala si Effy paglabas mo. She won’t stop fussing, naloloka na ako.”Nung nakaalis na sila, hinila ko pabukas yung drawer ng vanity ko at kinuha yung nag-iisang susi na nakakabit sa kabayo-na-may-identity-crisis keychain na binigay sa akin ng bestfriend ko last time na nagpunta sya sa Palawan.
I chucked the freakishly high heeled shoes off my feet and grabbed my very dirty, very worn Chuck T’s and slipped them on. No time to ditch the wedding dress kung gusto kong malayo na ako dito sa lugar na ‘to kapag na-realize ni Mommy na naubos na yung five minutes pero di pa rin ako lumalabas.
Nilingon ko yung digital clock sa bedside table ko. 4:37 PM—shoot, I have to hurry!
I entered my walk-in closet and shut the door. I weaved my way past expensive dresses and fur coats and hoodies and over-sized shirts until I reached the back of the closet and my hand touched wood. With my right hand, I felt for the tiny indentation where I could rest three of my fingers and slide the wooden panel aside to reveal the hidden door behind it. There. Light flooded from outside and I had to squint my eyes shut. I turned around and fixed the hanging clothes before I tumbled out the hidden door.
Now I’m off to Narnia, baby!Well, not really.
“Pwincess!”Napatalon ako paikot at may nakita akong flower girl na tumatakbo papalapit sa akin. Nilagay ko yung index finger sa labi ko para sabihing wag syang maingay. I tried shooing her away too pero di sya tumigil sa pagtakbo hanggang makarating sya sa kinatatayuan ko.
“You’we the pwincess! I found you!”“Uh—no, I’m not. I don’t have a tiara, see?” Sabay turo sa ulo ko.
“But you spawkel!” Ugh.
Darn you Effy! Hinawakan nya yung kamay ko tapos hinila ako papunta sa garden,
“C’mon! I saw your pwince! He’s waiting for you! MOMMY! I FOUND THE PWINCESS!” Uh-oh.
I pried her hands off,
“No, uh—tignan mo! Si Barney!”“Aaaaahhhh! No! He’s scawwy!” She shrieked and started crying as she grabbed a handful of the white fluttery skirt of my dress.
Anobanamanyan!? Diba dapat gusto ng mga bata yung purple dinosaur na yun? Oh shoot, panigurado may nakarinig ng sigaw ng bubwit na ‘to. I have to go! As in right now!
“Joke lang!” Isip Evi! Isip! Uhhh...
“Look! There's Justin Bieber!”Huminto sya sa pagsigaw—I mean instantly, nakakaloka—at hinanap yung tinuturo ko. Sheeeesh. What the F? Kilala ng bubwit na ‘to si Justin Bieber? Que horror.
“There! He ran to the garden!”She immediately let go of my dress and ran back to the garden just as I heard someone calling someone named Amy who I assumed is the little bubwit na makulit.
I turned around and grabbed the bicycle
conveniently sitting under the bushes at my feet and rode it to the only place Mom won’t think to look for me.
The house of someone named Maria Consuelo Derupe—or MC for short. Actually, you know what, it’s MC—just MC. You might want to pretend not catching her whole name. It’ll be better that way,
less bloodshed.
Anyway, nobody at home knows I know her so everything’s cool. Long story short, MC and I were in the ladies room and I saw her zombie pin. Then we just clicked, end of story. I used to sneak out and have zombie movie marathons here in her apartment and one day, dahil napapagod na daw syang pagbuksan ako everytime na kumakatok ako sa kalagitnaan ng gabi, binigyan na lang nya ako ng duplicate ng susi nitong apartment nya.
And so I’m here.
I unlocked the door and padded upstairs to the guest room. Wala si MC ngayon, she’s somewhere in Australia, jamming with some koala bears. Bukas ko na sasabihin sa kanyang dito muna ako mag-sstay habang murderous pa si mommy—which she’ll be, for sure, since runaway bride ang drama ko.
Hinubad ko yung nakakairitang wedding gown at naglakad papunta sa closet na puno ng damit ng boyfriend ni MC. Pinili ko yung Batman shirt, isinuot, at gumapang ako papunta sa kama na mukhang nung WW2 pa huling inayos ni MC. Sa sobrang pagod ko, di pa umaabot yung ulo ko sa unan, bangenge na ako. Char!
-×○×○-
Ugh. The sun is murdering my eyes!
AH-AH-AH-ACHOO! *sniff*
*MEOW*
Ugh. MC’s evil cat.
“Shoooooo! Scat! Mapapatay mo ko eh!”Tinulak ko yung pusa ni MC palayo sa mukha ko saka ako bumangon at nagstretching-stretching. Sa totoo lang, cute naman talaga sana itong pusang ito kung buo yung kaliwang tenga nya, diretso yung buntot at nakadilat yung kanang mata. Sheesh. Ewan ko ba kay MC kung san nya napulot itong nilalang na’to.
*MEOW*
Tinignan ko yung pusa na nakapulupot sa binti ko,
“That makes two of us. Nagugutom na din ako. Pero kailangan ko munang mag-shower.”Tinignan ako nung pusa na parang nasisiraan na ako. Jusme, wag kang sasagot! Subukan mo lang! Aatakihin ako sa puso! Nako!
Sa takot ko na baka sagutin ako nung pusa, nagmamadali akong tumakbo papunta sa banyo at ni-lock yung pinto, just in case may super powers pala yung pusa ni MC. Whooh! Nakakalokang pusa!
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?”
O_O
>_<
O_O
>_<
O_OOh shoot, no way this is happening! Ang cliché! No, no, no, no.
"Snap out of it! Are you going to ogle me forever!?"
Sweet cheesus!
