Nakauwi na ako galing sa mall I have been, when I cut class. Hinatid ako Kuya Mike sa penthouse. Sa weekend pa lang ang car na binili sa 'kin ni Kuya. And even if I have my own car, he won't let me use it. He's a protective older brother.

I go to my walk-in closet and change my school uniform into a plain white shirt and denim short.

After I changed my clothes, I settle my seat on the couch near the window.

We have our homeworks for this day. Since morning lang ako pumasok, hindi ko na alam kung may homeworks silang ibinigay noong hapon.

Anyway, before that, I want to eat my snacks first.

I stand up and walk to the kitchen, straight to the fridge. Let's look for foods. Well, what do we have here?

There's an ice cream here, I like ice creams, though.

After that, I go to the balcony with my snacks and my book, The Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I love classic books from the classic novelists. And I'm lazy to do my assignments. The word procrastination is always on my vocabulary words.

I continue reading while eating.

While reading the bit boring part, sleepiness attacks me. Naubos na rin ang ice cream pati na ang ibang snacks na kinuha ko. I thought of making coffee. So I stand up and go directly to the kitchen.

I open all the cabinets, but I find nothing. I make my way to the pantry, and then again, there's no coffee. Yes, I'm rich. Instant coffee doesn't fit for me. But meh, I'm too lazy to grind coffee beans, especially I'm just living alone.

I rummage the whole pantry, and hopelessly, I do not find even a single pack.

"Do I need to out to buy coffee?" I mutter to myself. Uhh . . . Sige na nga.

I grab my jacket and swiftly wear it. Lumabas na ako ng penthouse and I use the elevator to reach the ground floor.

When the elevator tings, I immediately exit the place.

As far as I know, may malapit na coffee shop dito. So, maglalakad na lang ako.

Sa kakalakad ko, nahanap ko ang coffee shop. As I enter the shop, I already smell the aroma of the coffee. Anyway, I order a one cup of espresso and a box of donuts.

"Take out, Ma'am?"

"Yes, please." I reply to her.

"Right away." She says with a jolly tone.

After a couple of minutes, she comes back with my order.

Pabalik na ako sa pad, and as usual, naglalakad ako.

I'm currently walking now to the hallway of the building, I can now clearly see a person. That person is so creepy. I can't tell whether if it is he or she, because of its black shades, black hat, and large coat that can cover its nose.

I raise an eyebrow. A vampire?

Magkakasalubong na kami, I don't want to give way. I have bitchy blood in my veins nobody stands against my way. But to my surprise, binangga niya ako. Nahulog din ang black envelope na dala-dala niya.

I sigh in irritation. Despite my bitchiness, I still have respect for normal people. I pick the creepy looking paper.

"Here—" That person cuts me off by walking away with a high pace. "H-Hey! You forgot this!" I call out, raising the envelope on the mid-air.

Seems like he or she doesn't care and continues walking. Jeez. I don't want to chase that person. Who cares about that someone, by the way?

I look at the envelope, it's really creepy. And realization hits me. This envelope is for me!

Wala bang postman? Or send it via e-mail? What's wrong with these people?

I remove all the thoughts on my mind and head back to my pad.

I sit on the couch and criticize the envelope. If it is for me, what do they want? And do they know me?

I open the envelope and grab the letter inside.

Hmm. I wonder, what's this letter all about? A death threat? A prank? Or whatever?

I read the letter while sipping my coffee, and it says:

To the Queen,

You are qualified to participate my racing contest this Sunday night, located in Luna Street at exactly midnight.

We are expecting to see you and make us believe that you are only the Racing Queen.

Heh, okay. Are they challenging me? Why? Do they already find someone who's stronger than me? Let's just see.

But how do they know that I'm here? And how do they know me? As far as I know, I'm wearing a mask and different kinds of contact lenses whenever I compete.

It makes me confused. Who is this unknown messenger?

So, what do you think? Should I join the contest? And yes, I'm drag racer. My family knows about this. And they know me as the Racer Queen, because never been in my entire life that I lose in every race I've competed, and I never will.

I look at the clock, it's 7:15 in the evening. I have to cook for my dinner and do all my homeworks. I fridge the donuts that I buy, and place the coffee in the side table, I'll just drink it later.

I prepare an oat meal. Aside from a light meal, it is as well easy to cook.

After eating, I did all my homeworks—which is very easy for me.

I had a special lessons in Japan. Mom and Dad hired a tutor, slash reaper. It happened that my tutor was also an assassin. And he is a real good-looking man with cool eyeglasses. Well, in all honestly, I never get bored listening to him. He's an attracting man after all, with a gentle and bland voice.

I sigh, only if that man can be my private teacher again, and I'll never enter that Imperial University.

But unfortunately, he moves to Germany and finds his right lady.

Never mind this now. I have to sleep.

F R I D A Y   M O R N I N G

I came to this school in my usual arrival time. I'm just walking on the school grounds, making passed to the oasis. Since, I'm little early, wala pang masyadong students. But this is nice, no noise.

While having my idle, I sense a warm hands encircling around my neck. What the?

"Good morning."

I gaze at this man. It is Sean with a wide grin on his face. He even pulls me closer.

"You have three seconds to let go of me." I say with a facepalm.

His grin grows wider, "Sabay na tayong pumasok sa room, okay?"

"One."

"P-Please . . ?" he asks for it.

"Three." 

"Hey! You haven't said 'two'!"

"I don't care." I say in a gruff voice and abruptly get off his hand around me.

Sean just leaves with a puppy look on his face. Gee. I haven't done a thing.

I can see many girls shooting dagger looks on me. Why? It's because I'm not on my mood today, I return the dagger gazes and give them a "Want-me-to-gauge-your-ugly-eyes-out?" look.

Nobody can defeat me, only if it's just a competition of giving deadly glares.

"Natsumi!"

I halt on walking when someone yells my name. I turn my head behind. It is Ellianna's and Ashley's voices.

And Chance is there as well. He's walking beside the three of his friends, all of them are wearing a wolfish grin. Except from him, whose face is blank. His cold gray eyes are looking at me like usual.

"Natsumi!"

Napatingin ako sa direksyon ng dalawa. They are just a feet away from the men.

He just walked by and that's all.

"Hoy, ikaw babae!" Tawag sa akin ni Ellianna nang nakadating siya sa pwesto ko. Huwag niyang sabihin na kahit sa akin, galit siya. "Bakit hindi ka pumasok kahapon ng tanghali, ha?"

I smirk to myself.

"Hoy, ano ang nginiti-ngiti mo d'yan?" Masungit na sabi niya habang nakapamewang.

"Huh?" Inosenteng nasambit ko. "Ano . . . natulog ako. Inaantok talaga ako kahapon eh." I reason out. Well, is that a good reason?

"AWW!!" I cry out loud. Isang malakas na batok ang nakuha ko sa kanya!

"Aish! Nag-absent ka para lang doon?" She exclaims full of rage, as if a vein will pop on her head.

"Oh, please." Now I'm pissed. "It's not a big deal."

"Not a big deal?" she retorted. "Don't you care about your studies?"

"Tch. Tell your nonsense talk to someone who cares." I hiss, crossing my arms in arrogance.

"Ahaha!" Ash chuckles and goes between us. "Enough, both of you, girls. Classes will start in few minutes."

"Hay! Ibang klase kang nerd, Nat!" Ellianna speaks with disbelif and leaves us be.

What? She calls me a nerd? Do I look like a nerd?

"Okay. What was that all about?" I ask in confusion.

"Haha. Don't mind her. She's just jealous."

I frown at Ash, "With whom?"

"With you."

"Err. Why?"

"It's because of Sean."

"Huh? Do you mean a while ago?"

"Yes. Even if Elli deosn't say it, it is obvious that she likes Sean. And Sean is actually Elli's hero in her childhood."

"Oh."

"Haha. Don't overthink too much. Elli will probably cool down in just a moment."

"Okay." I answer. Such an immature reason.

Then we both enter the classroom. There is Ellianna with a grumpy aura lingering her surroundings.

While walking to my proper seat, my eyes land at Chance. Our seats are both near, so it's involuntary to gaze at him.

Chance is just looking outside. His cold gray orbs have these familiar expressions.

I simply avoid him and sit on my chair.

I said familiar, because his eyes are dead. He's looking blankly, even if the morning weather is a bright one. And as though, he is struggling to win over the darkness he owns.

What a pity. Why even you, Chance? Why do you also have that kind of eyes?
