CHAPTER 2 My Hiro
Nakakahiya mang aminin pero, at 17, NBSB pa rin ako, as in No Boyfriend Since Birth! OMG lang talaga! Minsan nga, ‘di ko maiwasang maging affected kapag tinutukso ako ng mga friends ko dahil wala pa rin akong boyfriend. Nakakainggit nga eh. My friends started having their sweethearts since they were like… twelve! Lahat taken na. Because of this, I will ask this very important question… 
 
Mortal sin na ba talaga ngayon ang maging single?! 
 
If I were to answer that right away, hindi naman ‘di ba? Pero inaamin ko, malungkot ngang mag-isa. Walang karamay ‘pag may problema. Walang kasamang mag-celebrate ‘pag masaya. Hindi ba, mas okay ang maging Queen, kapag merong King? ‘Yun lang naman ang gusto ko… to feel complete. 
 
I am happy to be here at the beach, seeing the beautiful sunset, smelling the salty sea breeze, walking at the fine, white sand, throwing pebbles in the water, pero siguro mas magiging masaya kapag may kasama ako… kasamang mamasyal… maglakad… at…  
 
“Oh no!” 
 
Madapa. OMG! Natapilok ako! Sa sobrang sakit, napaupo na lang ako sa sand, crying in pain. 
 
“Help!!! Anybody please?! Tulungan niyo ‘ko!” This I shouted at the top of my lungs.  
 
Pero walang tumutulong. Walang tao sa beach. Parang end of the world na. I can’t help but cry. Paano na lang ako? Who will help me? Who will save me? 
 
Patuloy lang ako sa pag-iyak, nang biglang matakpan ang shadow ang mukha ko. I lift my gaze to the sea, and behold! A miracle happened! Isang lalaki… a young man in Speedo trunks emerges from the water. Hindi ko pa siya tuluyang makita dahil sa maliwanag na araw, pero para siyang Roman God! 
 
“OMRG! As in oh… my… Roman God!”, I whisper to myself. 
 
Dahan-dahan siyang lumapit sa ‘kin. As he reaches me, agad niya akong binuhat. Para akong princess sa isang fairytale. I saw his face, at ang masasabi ko lang. Grabe, ang gwapo niya! Nakaka-speechless. Ako na. Ako na talaga! But first things first… I have to ask his name. 
 
“Sino ka?”, tanong ko sa kanya. At ang sabi niya sa ‘kin…  
 
“Wag kang matakot. Nandito ako para tulungan ka. Ako si Hiro.” 
 
Siya pala si Hiro. Nang kargahin ako ni Hiro, biglang nawala ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. All I felt was pure joy habang pinagmamasdan ko siya. Hindi ko napigilang haplusin ang kanyang handsome and chiseled face. And then I realized, ‘yung cross tattoo na pala sa dibdib niya ang hinahaplos ko.  
 
At last! Dumating na ang savior ko… ang hero ko!

CHAPTER 1 My Birthday Wish
“Happy birthday, Katy!!! We love you!!!”

Sabay-sabay na sumisigaw ang mga students. It’s like… they’re having a royal rally for me. Even the Dean, the Most High Dean, starts to escort me. Grabe ang feeling! Lahat nakatingin sa ‘yo! All eyes! Suddenly, a group of students holding cards form a mosaic with the words HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Awww! That’s so sweet of them! I am so touched! Words can never express my gratitude and happiness. Sobra-sobra na ‘to. But as the Queen Bee, I have to have a word.

“I heart you, guys!!!”, sabi ko with matching flying kiss and heart sign gesture.

Maiiyak na yata ako. Ito na talaga ang best birthday ever! Ano pa ba ang mahihiling ko? At seventeen, nasa ‘kin na yata ang lahat. Para na ‘kong nabubuhay sa isang panaginip. This… is the ultimate teenage dream!

But I’m sure you’ll still ask “What would Katy Perez wish for?”

Good question.

Well, I have my birthday wish, and it’s been my wish for years. Yes, nasa ‘kin na nga ang lahat, except for one thing. And that… I will write in my next entry.

PROLOGUE
Welcome to St. Martin’s University, the school where the rich and famous study. Expensive cars, fashionable clothes, trendy gadgets, and food flown from France… name it! Lahat nang ‘yan, check! Pero hindi lahat, may power… the power to rule, and the power to have it all. ‘Cause in this school, there are people we call royals, kagaya ng Queen Bee who’s lucky enough to be on top of the social hierarchy. 
 
Kaya kapag nakita mo nang nagkagulo ang mga tao, at naririnig mo na silang nagtitilian, isa lang ang ibig sabihin… THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED! 
 
The car opens, and the Queen steps her foot on the ground. Wearing her Valentino dress and Jimmy Choo shoes, she flips her long and wavy hair, ngingiti, sabay kaway sa mga fans, as if saying na “Mahal ko kayo!” Easy peezy! It’s a daily routine, and I’m sure you’re asking kung bakit alam na alam ko ang lahat ng ‘to. Simple. Because I… am the Queen! 
 
Ako si Katy… Katy Perez! 
 
Yup. I know my name sounds like the famous pop star. Pero dito sa mundo ko, sa St. Martin’s, I’m the “it” girl! I’m the Queen! Ako ang sikat at pinagkakaguluhan! But if you think na madali ang buhay ng pagiging queen bee, well… nagkakamali ka. You have to project an image. Dapat mag-smile at mag-hello ka sa lahat. Kung pwedeng may flying kiss… better. Daig ko pa sina Marian Rivera at Barbie Forteza. Imagine that? 
 
Pero ayos lang. Matagal ko nang tinanggap na ipinanganak akong ganito. This is me – ang exception sa kasabihang “Nobody’s perfect”! 
 
And for you to understand me more, sa mga pinagdaraanan ko in my everyday royal life, I am more than happy to share pieces of me… my diary… the diary of a Queen Bee!
