The Queenbee's Downfall (On-Hold)

1: The Trouble with the Rule

Chapter 1: The Bad Boy and The Queen Bee

I fanned my smooth hand to my neck, hoping the slight breeze would ice the hotness I am feeling under the sun. Considering the fact that I am using an umbrella to get the sunlight off my skin, it did not ease the heat of the weather embracing my beautiful body.

I mentally sighed. It's already midday of August 20th, and I've been on the campus for 4 freaking hours. Kinulang kasi ang council ng isang miyembro, and since I am aiming for a position within that organization, I volunteered. Like how a role model of a Queen Bee that I am, just like how a good girl is supposed to act, I've been kind to offer them my help.

Hindi ko naman alam na kailangan ko pala rumonda sa buong school at hagilapin ang kung sinumang hudyo na patuloy na dinudumihan ang matayog at magarang pader ng Liberty University. Sa tinagal ng aking paglalakad ay wala man lang maski isa ang matapang na nagpakita ng kanilang pagmumukha.

I've passed countless walls that have been vandalised numerous times but I have never encountered not a single culprit.

Sisimangot na sana ako ngunit agad kong pinalis iyon pati na rin ang pagod at iritasyon sa aking mukha nang may mga bumati sa akin.

"Hi po."

"Good morning po."

"Mali ka, good afternoon dapat."

"Oo nga pala," nahihiyang napakamot ito sa batok.

"Hello," I greeted with a smile.

Isang Junior at dalawang Sophomore ang nakangiting kinakawayan ako ngayon. Nginitian ko sila pabalik at tinanggap ang inaabot na mga regalo.

May kabigatan ang binigay sa akin ng babaeng Junior, habang ang lalakeng mga Sophomore naman ay tingin ko'y Compilation of love letters ang bitbit na regalo.

"Sana po ay magustuhan niyo."

Gaya noon ay nagpasalamat ako and gave them my signature sweet smile, the Queen Bee sweet-killer smile. Pinanood ko silang tuwang-tuwa umalis bago kumaripas ng takbo nang tumunog na ang kanilang bell. Tapos na ang lunch time ng mga Freshmen at Sophomores, kami na ang susunod na magl-lunch kasabay ang mga Juniors.

I groaned loudly as I hug the gifts closer to me. Gutom na gutom na ako at kanina pa ako nauuhaw! Hindi ko pinagbibigyan ang sarili ko na mag-break dahil nangangamba akong may makakita sa akin, sabihin pa ay hindi ko ginagawa ng tama ang trabaho ko.

I glanced at my wristwatch. It's already 12:15. I guess it wouldn't hurt the council for me to take a break for a short period of time? Besides, I've been walking for so long that I think my feet are gonna be numb from a nonstop 'walkathon'.

I decided to take the 4th Archway, the forbidden route, as my exit. Matatagalan pa kasi ako kapag binalikan ko ang aking pinasukan para malibot ang likod ng 4th Year Building. Kailangan ko pa daanan ang gate ng bawat building kung sakali.

But then again, if I choose this path my career would be tarnished.

Who cares?

The 4th Archway is said to be cursed and haunted. Many of the students who try to be brave and have courage always ended up running, like a dog with its tail bent down.

Ang sabi ng mga nakakapunta doon ay may naririnig silang umiiyak na babae. Some say a child. But others that went there didn't hear anything.

However, one incident happened. Since 4th Archway is famous for its own story, bullies who choose to trip their victims pick this place into recording their victims' cowardice and leave them downhill. Which led the bullies into endangering the victims' lives, and one of them became insane. Out of its sanity. Clearly off the universe.
