Chapter 1: In Which She Turned Eighteen

Victoria Abbel's Point of View

"When will you stop massaging your breast?" I heard someone said. Halos mabulunan ako dahil sa sinabi niya, kaya naman agad kong tinanggal ang pagkahawak sa dibdib ko. Napayuko na lang ako sa table dahil sa kahihiyan.

"Kelan ba malaki 'tong dibdib ko!? Kahit anong gawin ko hanggang ganito na lang talaga siguro 'to." Halos maiyak kong sabi. We are here in the cafeteria and I was with my friend named Georginna. And yes, even if we are in the cafeteria, I absentmindedly cupped my breast and started pinching it! I just hoped no one is looking at me. That will be embarrassing. I just remembered when I used to be in middle school, we are required to attend the flag ceremony. When the Philippine anthem was played in the stereo, you have to put your hands on your left chest, little did I know instead of putting my hands on my left chest, I am cupping my breast! Geez, there is really something wrong at me. Masyadong malaki ang epekto ng sinabi ni Trevor sakin noong bata pa ako.

"Subukan mo kayang magpaturok?" Georginna asked and sat beside me. She's got one piece apple and a yogurt. Georginna is my friend of mine since we're 7th grade. Isa lang siyang kaibigan ko while she's got more than one. Actually, I'm still thankful since I have her. 'Yung iba kasing tao lumalapit lang sa akin dahil sa apelyido ko. And since then, I started choosing my friend. At isa lang talaga ang natirang matatag at totoo, and she's Georginna. She's not that well-off but at least she's real. She's living with the scholarship granted by my parents. What can I say? We are really that rich.

"No! I want everything natural." I flipped my hair. Narinig kong bigla siyang naubo sa sinabi ko.

"Natural, huh? That's why you're always wearing contact lenses." I rolled my eyes at her. Yes, my eye is aqua blue. Blame me for having a Stanislaski blood. Pero dahil masyadong agaw pansin ay mas pinipili kong tabunan ito at magsuot ng contact lenses.

"You're already eighteen yet you still like the Dmitri guy?" Napasimangot ako habang nire-real talk ni Georginna.

"Hindi mo lang ako maiintindihan dahil hindi mo nararamdaman ang nararamdaman ko!" I said and pouted my lips. Yes, it's been what...6 years? Anim na taon na ako nagpapansin kay Trevor Dmitri, pero hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ding pagunlad ang pagtingin niya sa akin.

"So, anong balak mo after nitong lunch break?" Georginna asked me. Oo nga pala, Foundation day ngayon ng school, and there will be no classes because of activity period.

"Duh! Tinatanong pa ba 'yan? I'm going to wait for Trevor's performance this evening!" Excited kong pahayag. Trevor is a graduating student, while I'm still stuck here in senior high school! He's not a music major but every time there's an event here at the University, his band always plays. At syempre, hindi ako papahuli. Every gig, I am there. Always present, supporting my future husband. My concern is that he's famous at this university. Kaya naman marami din ang nagkakagusto sa kanya at hindi lang ako. Annoying.

"Daydreaming again? When will you accept that he doesn't like you back?" I gave her a death glare.

"He likes me, okay? In denial lang siya! Hmp!" I get my sandwich on the table and stand up, and left the table.

"Keep saying that to yourself, Tori. Good luck with that!" I heard her as she waves her hand at me. Bago pa ako makalabas ng cafeteria ay ilang babae ang lumapit sa kanya. They are five and they are handing me flowers and chocolates.

"Kapatid mo si Cainn diba? Pwede bang pakibagay sa kanya 'to?"

"Pinsan mo si Nikos diba? Can you give this to him?"

"Close ba kayo ng pinsan mong si Kalev? Baka kasi hindi niya ito tanggapin kung ako mismo ang magbibigay sa kanya."

"Kapatid ni Clevon!" Tawag sa akin ng isa pang babae. "Please give this to him, please." And handed me a box of chocolate cookies. Clevon hated chocolates.
