"Finally, let us all welcome our future Mayor Skye De Vega!" The host shouted and excitement and the crowd cheered non-chalantly.

As I looked around the coliseum, so many people were cheering and wearing a color light blue shirts like mine. Looking back, when I was teenager... I promised to myself to not to be a politician, but now, I ended up here in this situation, willing to serve the people who is in need, wanting to change what is need to change.

I never knew I could be like dad and my cousins as a politician, because what I know was that... I learned to do things by myself even somebody won't help me, I was the kind of girl that doesn't want to be judge and doesn't want to be compared with somebody.

Judging the 'person' by its cover and comparing them to others can cause a depression, moreover if they are the most sensitive ones, thinking what did he/she do wrong, what's there in the others that she/he doesn't have? 

Staying out of the limelight, being judge in the family and being compared with your eldest sister was heartbreaking. Since I was just a kid, I felt like I was not their daughter to be appreciated and to be proud with... I get 90 and above grades, showing it to my parents, they're saying I should study had more, strive for more... while my eldest sister gets 90 and below grades but they won't get angry at her, they're soft hearted when it comes to my sister.

Starting with that day, I get envious of her, I studied more like what my parents wanted so I could finally get their attentions but I was wrong. I was never their first priority nor second or third priority, I was their last.

I remained quiet even though I nearly break down. I loved them and they're a family of mine: that means I cannot leave them. But sometimes, you need to leave them just to feel the love that you deserve.

"You can do things by yourselves, it'll be hard or not, just don't surrender already. I believe in the saying... Do not judge those people around you, respect them because they are human. They are not perfect but they are trying their best just to be perfect in your eyes! I stand up with a person like that, so do not be afraid to show the world who really you are, we have all our worth to live, to show in this world that we shouldn't be underestimated. Thank you!"

The crowd cheered as well as my man talking to me with sweet words in another line.

"I guessed, may puso talaga ako na maging politician, like my dad and my mom when she was still a lady. I was just in denial and scared to be one of them but now, wala akong dapat na ikatakot, ako ito, itataguyod ang bayan kung saan ang bayan ng nanay ko at kung saan ako ipinanganak." I told my man from the other line while I was doing my make-up at the back of my stage.

"That's what I love about you, continue pursuing what you really want then?" He asked with a sarcasm. "I know that's because of your Finn."

I rolled my eyes. "Excuse me?! Correction, Finn is my ex."

After campaigning, we went out of the coliseum just to see the two person I was expecting to see.

"Oh? Ano ang ginagawa niyo dito?" Sabi ko at luminga sa paligid. "Manonood ba kayo? I am sorry pero tapos na kasi eh." Sabi ko at ngumiti ng mapait.

"So, the gossips are real, my dear sister is going to run for the Mayor of this city, you do know my dear sister that you don't have any experience about politics."

I smirked at my dearest sister, Victoria De Vega, who is the most favorite one. "That was then and this is my now, aiming for success. I am not Euphoria, myself, for nothing." I said then glance at the man beside her, my eyes went down on Finn's elbow where Victoria is holding it like she own him. "What a nice reunion we have, eh?"

"Euphoria..."

I waved my hands. "I am sorry to be rude, mister Congressman, but please don't call me my first name, we are not that close. Nice seeing you guys but I still have a meeting to attend to..." I said formally before stepping away from them.

"Skye! Let's talk!" I stopped walking, so my securities also stopped, but I didn't look back.

"Finn! No! Stop it, reporters may notice us, stop that!" Victoria shouted but Finn didn't stop running towards me.

"Skye, talk to me."

"Stop him. Huwag niyo siyang hahayaang makalapit sa akin." I said with a serious tone, with a poise, I raised my head and walk towards the private plane.

"My little miss, let me explain! Please!" There's a desperate tone in his voice, he's pleading but I can't just.

Entering the private plane, I told the pilot that we need to go, flying in the sky makes me feel like I'm wanted, it's relaxing.

I grinned as I catched Finn staring at me before the plane started to fly. I'm glad he never loves my older brat sister.

"Poor boy, still stuck with me eh?"
