Saturday morning and she was in the mall strolling around with some of her friends. The friends she was with were a group of girls she met on the first day of school. She was looking around to buy some dresses for the upcoming school festival because there will be an evening party after the festival. There will be dancing and the famous first dance. She wanted to impress the young professor she had a crush on and also have her first dance with him, if possible. She was in her world when one of the girls she come with grabbed her arm, thus making her stop in her tracks.
"Hey, is that Miss President?" They all stared at the young woman who was strolling arm in arm with a very handsome guy."Wow, miss president looks so beautiful, so, her boyfriend should be her equal." Girl #2 said.
They made their way to greet the amazing couple. "Hello, miss Victoria." The four girls greeted the young woman.
However, the beautiful woman was not in the mood to chat with anyone right now due to the incident that happened a while ago. The dress she was eyeing was ruined. She was sure that it was the ice-bit*h’s fault, but she can't find any evidence and she didn't want to just accuse. It will look like she's cheap being petty over the ruined dress. So, no matter how she was feeling, she needs to maintain her graceful appearance. "Hello, girls, what are all doing here?" She has a gentle, fake smile on her face.
"Oh, we’re here to shop for our dress, you know, for the after-party." One of the girls answered her in an excited voice."Okay, I won't disturb you girls anymore. Go on with your shopping. I'll see you all on Monday."
After the queen walked out of the shopping mall gracefully with her boyfriend in tow, the three girls continue with their shopping. Yuri was still staring at the two curiously. She felt that the president's smile was not as charming as what she heard around the school. Did it look strained or fake... maybe?
Along the way to their second store, they saw a familiar face. At first, Yuri can't help but raise her eyebrow.
"Hey, is that the model's daughter, Hayley Guevarra?" One girl said."Yeah. Look at her alone, she deserved it. She was so arrogant about challenging the queen. Well, she deserved what is coming on her way." The second girl said with a sneer.
Yuri also thought the same thing. She doesn't like Hayley. For her, the girl was arrogant, like anyone will kneel at her feet once they saw her. She's undoubtedly gorgeous. There's no arguing about that. And if the contest was just about having a pretty face, then there's no doubt Hayley will win.
If she doesn't like Hayley, she can't deny the fact that her eyes were captivated by her beauty the first time she saw her. And that is the reason she hated this girl. They continue strolling around the mall, deciding what would be the best dress to wear. They stopped for a moment and had a quick snack before they continue looking for their dress. The sweets parlor they went to is the most famous dessert shop in town, and the prices of every single cake were no joke. Luckily, it was not crowded. They sat inside when they saw Hayley for the second time around.
"It's her, again." The girl #1 beside Yuri said in disbelief and hate can be heard laced in her voice.
"She's everywhere." Girl #2 said. Yuri knew that Hayley could hear what the two girls were saying about her, but she maintains her calm and that 'I don't care' aura around her. For Yuri, she can't stand being alone. Never in her life, she was alienated. And she doesn't want to experience it ever.
It was almost 7 o'clock that evening when she finally returned home. She was warmly welcomed by her mom. That night, she could eat a delicious dinner with her family. Their family time is about watching tv programs or watching movies at night during weekends. That night, after their family activity was done, she went up to her bedroom and took a shower. Every night she does not forget to write an entry in her journal. She was on the part wherein she was recalling the incident inside the sweets shop. Then, in that journal, she expressed her annoyance towards that girl, but then she realized something... Why a pretty-looking girl was aloof and doesn't have many friends? Then she recalled her mom told her once that a person's character reflects what kind of family or community he/she belongs to. She then contemplates; what kind of family does the girl have for her to grow that way?
