“I'm back. This will be a great school year.” She wears a beautiful smile showcasing her nice white teeth. The wind is on the rush and it caress her soft fair skin. She fix her dress, pressed her lips and comb her hair by her hand.

She's in front of the school gate. Watching every students walking in and out the gate. Then she heard someone calling out her name. She turned around to the direction where her name come.

“Sophia!” A woman calls her from a far, the woman is waving at her and she can see the big smile on her face. She run towards her, every steps is filled with excitement and joy. When she get close to her she immediately hug her tightly, it's been years that they didn't saw each other. “Sophia are staying here?” Her voice was filled with excitement and joy.

Sophia pull off from the hug and she study every single bit of her friend face. “Sherrie you glow up!” She cannot believe it. Sherrie is her best friend from high school and she used to be a loner and doesn't dress well but now she is stunning on her school uniform.

Sherrie just smiled at her and pull her inside the school. They have so many stories to tell to each other. While walking to the hallway they just tell stories about themselves. She suddenly stop when her eyes set foot to the woman leaning on the faculty's door. Probably around thirty five to forty year old.

Everything was fast, she found herself hugging the woman she just saw. “Do i know you?!” The woman in thirty's ask in a surprise tone. She then let go and look straight at her face.

“It's Sophia, Tita Rose naman. Do you already forget me.”

Her Tita Rose eyes widen. “Sophia? Ikaw na ba talaga yan? You're a grown up already.” She was stunned seeing her young and beautiful. “Why are you here?”

She tuck in her hair in her ear. “Actually Tita, I'm going to study here again.”

Out of the sudden her Tita's face tainted with uneasiness and concern. “Do you really need to? You can move to other university just not in here. This place bring back all of your sufferings. Will you be alright in here?” Then she feel her Tita's hand caressing her shoulders. “You know that they are still in here, right?”

She give her a forced smile and she nodded. After of some talks, She and Sherrie leave while walking in the hallway. She notices that every women stop and when she look at where they are looking she saw three handsome mens walking in the hallway. Every girl was frozen because of the their charms.

The three man walking are Kevin Lim the one in the left with the chinky eyes, in the right side is Baron Hernandez with his hair dyed to color blue, and at the center is Liam Ramos with a face that effortlessly attract most of the woman.

But she isn't one of them, she knew that faces. The faces of bad luck. Misfortune. The sons of sins. They are her exes the campus playboys. That three handsome looking guys are her exes. They are the one that destroyed her life. And now she's back for a sweet revenge.

First Year Of High School

Sophia was walking slowly withe her head facing the floor of the school's hallway. She's an only child and her mother isolated her from people while her father died when she's just four month old baby. Her mother was the only person she knew except for their maids, so growing up make her shy and do not know how to interact with people.

While walking she didn't even dare to look straight avoiding the other students gaze. Then her head suddenly slam on a hard chest of a man. She bent over to apologize for bumping onto him. But before she apologize the man just left her. She turned around and apologize to him. “I'm sorry.”

The man didn't even dare to look back at her, he just walk like nothing just happened. After what happened she continue to walk to find her classroom. She's still a freshman so she doesn't know the place in the school. And she is to shy to ask people about directions. She's all faze up cause she don't know where to go. She sit by the bench near her.

A lost girl that what she looks like. Then feel that someone sit beside her so she distance herself.

“What's your name? Are you also a freshman?” A energetic young girl voice ask her. “Hey… Are you deaf or mute?” Sophia shake her head. “Your shy, aren't you?” The girl extend her hand towards her. “I'm Sherrie, and you are?” Sherrie's sweet voice caress her whole body.

“I'm… So… phia.” She look straight but still avoiding Sherrie's eyes. Sherrie take his hand and smile at her.

“Let's be friends.” After hearing that from Sherrie, Sophia smiled deep inside but still not showing it physically. “Class? I'm from Class A.”

“Same.” She felt happy cause her new friend is also her classmate. Her friend stand in front of her and extend her hand. She just stared at her hand without notice Sherrie hold her tightly, it was not a hurtful grip yet it was soft and securing. She was pulled by her and they stop in front of a door.

First Year, Class A

Their room looks so grand, there is at least three air-conditioner. Isn't that so much? The chairs is so comfy and on the desk there is a built in tablet. I think they don't need paper at all, everything are on the tablet. And her classmates are filthy rich. Other's are wearing luxurious brands from their clothes to their jewelries. Some of the uniforms have a luxurious mark.

As they enter the room her heartbeat start to raise it must be so far from her comfort zone ‘too much human’. Sherrie take a seat at the back then she tap the chair beside her gesturing Sophia to sit beside her. After sitting beside Sherrie she didn't even move a muscle and her mouth is already shut. Her eyes was wondering then she notice that some of her classmates are walking towards her. Nervousness is making her heart pond fast.

When they get close to her their eyes are examining her.

“What are you doing?” Her soft voice that can melt every men's heart. Cheeks are already pinkish cause she felt embarrass. Her palms move to her face to cover her face so that they will stop looking at her.

“You're so pretty.”

“Yeah, i agree. Do you have social media accounts?” She blushed more.

The door opened and everyone look who is it. Sophia's eyes also set foot to the man leaning on the door. He is quite tall for a teenager, broad shoulders, and a handsome face. A total heartthrob. “Looks like we have an angel in our class.” His manly voice touch every woman in the room, Sophia is one of them. By what he said made her heart raise and her cheeks blushed more than usual. A compliment from a handsome man is more heart melting, right?

He then take a seat up front it's just two chair away from Sophia.

“Liam is so handsome and rich.”

“It will always be a joyful day if he is always around.”

Sophia is still not getting over with the compliments specially from Liam. Her classmates get back to their seats as the door open again and the teacher entered. “Sophia!” Sherrie call her but she didn't respond, so her friend started tapping her shoulder just to get her attention. She put down her hands that covering her face and exposed her blushing cheeks. She then turn her head to Sherrie and giving her a asking face.

Sherrie chuckled as she see Sophia pinkish cheeks. “You're so modest.”

First day so new faces everyone introduced themselves, from names to their ambitions. Everyone are all done except for Liam. He stood up face his classmates. While, Sophia is facing her desk, her ears are all open waiting Liam to introduce himself to everyone.

“Liam Ramos, actually I don't know what will i be in the future I'm just enjoying life. I don't want everyone to be stressful, let's have a fun and enjoyable year as classmates.” His voice once again bring a tingle in Sophia's heart. Her heart was beating to fast and it's like she will stop breathing when she saw Liam's perfect handsome smile.

He then take his seat and the girls is still stunned by his looks. A handsome man always have a place in a woman's heart. The bell rang and the students get out of their rooms in a rush. Most of the students are in the cafeteria cause it's a snack break after all. Sherrie stand up in front of Sophia.

“Let's have a snack.” Sherrie extends her hand to her. Sophia also get off her chair and they both go to the cafeteria. After getting their foods they seat together to a vacant table. And not so far from them Sophia saw Liam having snack with a couple of girls. Handsome, remember? She was eating while watching him flirt with the girls. “Hey! You will melt Liam.” Sherrie chuckled.

She look back at her food and continue eating avoiding what Sherrie just tell her.

“You know you need to talk right?” She look at her. “And by the way, your admiring Liam Ramos!? His a total playboy.” Sherrie sighed.

“No, he isn't.”

Sherrie brows furrowed. “No? What did you just answer for? That your admiring him or his a playboy. A piece of advice don't get involved with him. That's simple right?”

She's walking with Sherrie they are already near to the school's gate. It's already 3 PM and it's the time to go home. Every students rush outside and wait for their cars to fetch them. She just keep looking to the students that get fetch by their parents. She's kind of jealous cause even once her dad didn't even see her grow up.

“Are you alright?” Sherrie ask her worried probably noticed the sadness on her face.

Her facial expression change so fast and she give her a smile. “Yes, I'm fine.” She take the phone in her pocket. She then check the messages upon opening it many messages pop from her mom and from her driver. They get to the outside of the school, she look around trying to find her driver, and she couldn't see even a glimpse of her driver and her car.

“Did you already see your driver?” Sophia shake her head on Sherrie. “Would you want to take a ride?” Sherrie extend her hand then point the car from a far, probably her car.

She smiled at her. “Thank you, but my driver might find me if I'm already gone. His probably on the way, that's why he isn't seeing my messages.” She reject her kind gesture cause they just met this morning, and she's too shy to accept it. “You're driver is already calling you.” Seeing Sherrie's driver waving at them. Sherrie give her a look trying to pursued her to change her mind. “I'm fine.” She smiled at her.

She send off Sherrie with her eyes until the car left. Her expression change and smile that she is showing to her friend was gone like bubble. She look around once again as time goes on the students continue to decrease. She just watch them get fetch by their cars. Her gaze set to her watch, ‘5:00 PM’ she's been waiting for two hours but still her driver is no where to be seen and no messages too.

The sunlight is already hiding itself and the night is taking its place and she's still at the gate waiting for someone to fetch her. She don't know how to commute and the school place is far from the actual road. And everyone knows that rich people are studying here so probably they will think that every students have its own car and driver.

She felt hopeless and her eyes starts to become teary and the sun is already gone the School lights were the only light. Standing and waiting there must be tiring. She look around the darkness and she couldn't see and car. It was silence and it just made the place scary. She's avoiding to look back but a loud noise startled her. Sound of keys falling to the ground.

She burst out of tears, she sit and hug her knees. Scared. Fear. Alone. She sobbing and her heartbeat is on the raise.

“Why are you still here?” She heard a woman's voice and and it made her more scared. “Are you alright? I'm Ms. Rose, First Year Teacher.” She felt relieved after hearing that, she remember that name, earlier this morning the faculty introduced the teachers to the freshmen. She lift her head and slowly turned around and she burst out of tears of relieved.

“Why are you still her? Are you waiting for somebody?” Her voice was caring.

“I'm … wait… ing …for my … driver…to pi… ck me up.” She stuttered and tears continue to fall from her eyes. Ms. Rose get near her and sit beside her she then try to calm Sophia down.

“Do you want a ride home?” Sophia nod and look at Ms. Rose with her teary eyes, she wipe her tears by the back of her palm. They stand up and Ms. Rose lead the way to her car in the parking lot. She got into her car. The was filled with rose scent, it was pretty addicting and it's already cold inside the car.

Ms. Rose drove her home, she get off in front of her house. “Thank you Ms. Rose for driving me home.” She thank her teacher.

“Just tell me if you need a ride home next time.” She send off Ms. Rose by her eyes. It was a long day for her and she is so tired, she steps in the house and she didn't even see her mom home. So she go straight to the bathroom and have a shower. She wear her pajamas on and do her skincare routine. The house felt empty though the maids are in there asleep.

She sit on the sofa in the living room and wait for her mom but she end up sleeping on the sofa. The next day, the maids woke her up and she still look sleepy because of getting home late and for staying awake late just to wait for her mom. She yawn and slowly get up. “Did mom get home last night?” She ask the maid.

“No Ma'am, She didn't.” She felt hurt and disappointed hearing that.

Then the maid guided her to the dining table and then she saw the foods on it. It was like a feast, so many food yet it's still breakfast. “What's up? With this?” She look at the maid. Then the other maids surprised her they are holding balloons and her driver is holding a cake. They were singing her a ‘Happy Birthday Day song’ she was totally surprised.

She smile but not so happy. Then someone tap her shoulder from the back and when she turned around she saw her mother fully dressed and holding a gift for her. Her happiness can see on her smile and she then hug her mom.

“I'm sorry Sophia, I didn't fetch you from school yesterday and your driver Kuya Jeff forgot about you. It will not happen again, I already warn him for his mistake.” Her mom smiled at her.

“I'm sorry Ma'am Sophia, I'm forgetting a lot of things now.” Kuya Jeff apologized.

“It's alright, Ms. Rose drive me home safely.”

“Rose?” Her mom asked her being worried for her, maybe she's just being careful from the people around her daughter.

“Ms. Rose De Mata, a teacher in my School.” Her mom then formed a ‘o’ by her mouth, in total shock.

“She's your Tita, Sophia.” She then chuckled at the fate .
