I was supposed to be given a 2-week suspension as a form of punishment for being involved in a school fight. Fourteen days of being at home is not bad for me since I like staying inside. However, my parents made a request to Mr. Morris to let me have my final two months at our school before I transferred to Manila. Because of our family's reputation, of course, the school dean agreed without hesitation.

Everyone knows about what happened between me and Maryce. The tsismis got spread faster than a virus could. Every single student in our university is talking about us.

Nobody expected that I would get into a school fight. Well, at least they now have an idea that their princess can be insane sometimes.

As I walk down the seemingly endless hallway, I am followed by pairs of judging eyes and mutterings from those people who know anything other than judging.

"The princess of Green Will got into a huge fight with Maryce, alam niyo na ba 'yun? "

"Yeah, sabi sakin ni Beatrice kanina. Tas alam mo rin ba na malapit niya raw mapatay si Maryce?"

"What?! "

"Shh! Ang lakas ng boses mo. "

"Seryoso? Pano mo nasabeng malapit niya mapatay si Maryce? "

"Sinakal daw. "

"Oh . . my . . . goodness. Dapat 'tong malaman ni Emily. "

"Kawawa naman si Maryce. Bakit ba kasi sila nag-away? "

"Kasi kinawawa raw ni Maryce si Vivien, alam niyo na yung bullying issue. Pero ayon sa mga kaibigan ni Maryce, si Sollace raw naunang sumugod kahit wala namang ginawang masama yung tao. Basta-basta nalang daw nagwala at sinakal siya. "

"Omg, she's freaking crazy! "

"Diba? Naku, sa kabila ng ginawa niya, hindi pa rin na kick-out sa school. Iba talaga 'pag sobrang yaman noh? Baka nga bilhin niya 'tong university natin. "

Idiots. Ang dali nilang maniwala sa issue na galing sa iba't-ibang bibig. Alamin kaya nila muna ang katotohanan bago ipagkalat? Kainis.

Nakarating ako sa classroom namin nang walang mga social climber na pilit akong pinapasama sa kanila. Dahil kasi sa issue, walang kumakausap sakin. Currently, my image got stained pretty badly and those social climbers do not want their image to get stain as well. Mabuti na nga, nakakasawa rin kasi makita ang pagmumukha nila.

I sit directly at my usual desk, ignoring my classmate's stares. 

I automatically grab my earphone to listen to some classical music while waiting for the class to start. Also, music is the best medicine for ignoring unwanted gossips and stares from someone.

As my mind slowly wandered into the abyss with the gentle yet melancholic piano playing in the background, a distinct voice kept interfering with my thoughts.
