Chapter 1: Im Nayeon
Going CrazyI stared at my chemistry notebook and screamed.
'Sino ba ang nag-imbinto nitong badtrip na subject na 'to ?! First quiz pa lang bagsak na ako !' I sighed and closed my eyes before I groaned.
I am Im Nayeon--- Eighteen, a senior highschool student and a beauty titlist with a purpose. Chika lang.
If you're wondering what it feels like to have a genius for an older sister, I'll probably say that it feels so great and you probably won't believe me.
Alam mo naman tayong mga pinoy, mahilig sa drama. And I know you would want to portray me as the underdog in my family. Well, You couldn't be more wrong.
My Dad, Dr. Im Dong Wook, doted on me tirelessly; and my Mom Im In-Na, a former beauty queen and is now a famous actress, loved me and Ate equally. Hindi ko na kinailangang magpakitang-gilas dahil secure ako sa pagmamahal ng mga magulang ko. And there's Ate---- Im Jihyo, na kahit nasa States na ngayun ay dinaig pa ang mga parents namin sa pagiging sobrang protective sa akin.
Bata pa lang ako, alam ko nang hindi ko kayang sabayan and katalinuhan ng Ate ko regardless kung anong pambobolang ginagawa nina Daddy, Mommy, at Ate sa akin. I know what I'm capable of and I'm not stupid to compete head-on with my sister in the brains department. Wala akong panama d'un.
So early on, I decided that Ate would be the brain in the family and I would be the beauty. And kokontra insecure.
Kaya maawa ka na sa sarili mo, huwag ka ng kumontra.
My quest for the crown started early, lahat yata ng beauty contests sinalihan ko na and thanks to my Ate's very rigid coaching when it came to answering questions for the Q&A, halos lahat ng contests na sinalihan ko ay nanalo ako.
"Nayeon, I brought snacks for you, sweetheart," narinig kong sabi ni Mommy at tumayo ako para buksan and pinto ng kwarto ko. I took the tray from her and she followed me into my bedroom. "Okay ka lang, sweetheart?" she asked me with a smile.
"Mom, sulatan mo nga 'yung school board at ipatanggal mo nga si Mr. Lee sa pagiging Chem teacher !" I mumbled angrily as I took a mango tart from the tray that Mommy brought.
"Bakit naman ?" Mom asked as she sat down on my bed.
"Nag-quiz ba naman kanina, kakasimula lang ng klase, quiz agad ! Tama ba 'yun ?! Isang liggo pa lang kaming pumapasok 'My! Makatarungan ba 'yun ?!" I asked angrily as I stuffed the whole tart inside my mouth.
"Okay lang 'yun, sweetheart. Quiz lang nman di ba ?"
"But I got a zero ! A zero, 'My !"
"You got a zero ?" Mom asked, trying to hide her surprise. "Well.......that....," she said as she tried to smile. "Di bale, Bawi ka na lang sa susunod."
"Mommy, I really, really hate Chem ! 'Tapos 'yung teacher pa namin ang lakas mang-badtrip !"
