My legs are starting to tremble. Pocholo and I are squatting outside Commander Apollo's office. The two of us had the ultimate sermon from the Commander. I can't remember the rest because what he said was so long. Besides my headache, I'm also sleepy. I think we've been squatting here for almost three hours.I looked at Pocholo. He squats well, as if he is not struggling or tired at all. He wears his poker face. I don't know what he thinks about our situation. He didn't really speak while scolding us. He accepts all of Commander Apollo's sermons. I don't know whether to pity him or admire him."What kind of look is that, Beau?" Pocholo asked. He wasn't looking at me. He just looked straight in front of him."You see me?" I asked curiously. How did he know I was looking at him? He did not turn in my direction."Is it obvious? I have eyes""Are you mad?""I'm n
I looked for nothing while we ate in the camp canteen. I feel like my mind is floating on a cloud. Until now, I didn't think that Commander Apollo would seriously consider adding more time to my squatting. He wasn't kidding when he said I had to squat for three more hours! He felt pity for me so he didn't include the two hours. So here I am now, floating in the clouds."Beau" Pocholo's called my attention. But I didn't look at him. I don't have the energy to even talk right now."Beau," he called again."Why? You keep calling me. My ears can't bear it." I answered, irritated. Does he not understand? If I don't answer, it means don't call me again. It's just common sense. He hasn't used his."Did you sleep well? How many hours did you sleep?" He asked worriedly.I looked at him. I can already imagine my black circle around my eyes. My eyebags just have enough to fight because they
"'till now you still haven't learned from your punishment yesterday. I don't know if you intended it or what", Commander Apollo said angrily to me.My mouth is shut. I wanted to shout and curse at him, but a respectable princess shouldn't do that. Since I came here to the camp, I've lost my prim and proper. I also studied that behavior for several years. All my life I grew up in luxury. I did not know that I would end up in this situation. That I will experience being punished."When will you behave, Orenciana? The whole squad is working hard in their training, but you are sleeping under the sink. Do you think you did the right thing? You haven't been here for a week and everything you did was a mess. You didn't even do the right thing."I frowned at what he said. I wanted to leave here and stop squatting in front of him. But I thought that was not a good idea. My punishment might increase even more. My knee is hurting. It's trembling. I want to cry because of the pain I feel. I'm hop
'Oh my God!'That's what I kept saying in my mind as I ran back to our bedroom. I can't believe Commander Apollo and my lips are touched together! The heartbeat of my heart is beating fast. What is happening to my heart? Why is it reacting like that? This is the first time this has happened to me.Do I already have feelings for Commander Apollo? Or just because I was kissed for the first time in my entire life? I hope the last one is the right answer to what I'm feeling right now. Because if the first is the answer to my heart. It can't be! Commander Apollo and I are enemies and, for sure, we will not agree on everything. Maybe on our first date he will take me to the shooting court and, worse, he will make me his target! Just thinking about that makes my hair stand up.It's a no,no,no, for me! I never dreamed of having a soldier boyfriend. My type is those crown princes. The Prince looks clean and charming.I stopped running when I was at the door of our room. I put my two hands on m
"Why are you committing lewdness in the hidden part of the camp, Orenciana? Salvatore?" Commander Apollo asked us angrily. I'm back here in his office again. I'm fed up with these four corners of rooms. I feel that when I am there in his office, he will hang me instantly."Answer me""Sir, you're thinking wrong. We don't do anything immoral outside the bathroom," I said. How can I tell him the reason without telling Pocholo's secret?"I am the only one who you should punish, Commander. I brought Beau there. She is not guilty. I forced her", Pocholo answered by my side."Pocholo! What are you talking about?!" I glared at him. What is he saying? We signal using our eyes. Based on what I can see, that's the only way he can think of to keep me out of this mess. But I don't want him to be punished. I know Pocholo and I are not doing anything bad. It's just really hard to explain the reason."Beau. I'm sorry if I forced you to take you there. Forgive me please", he bowed as a sign of apolog
I opened my eyes. I looked around. Based on what I see, I am inside the clinic. The place is quiet. I didn't see anyone or a nurse to watch over me."Oh my gee.." my head hurts. Why am I here at the clinic? What happened and did they bring me here? Do I have a serious illness? Or am I no longer qualified as a trainee and I need to go home?I got up suddenly when I remembered what had happened! Commander Apollo would have kissed me! I just passed out because I was so tense at that time. Gosh! I couldn't stand the commander's flirtatiousness. I'm more used to him being grumpy than flirty. Now I have proven the power of the commander's sex appeal to me. My heart beat differently when our lips touched."How are you? How are you feeling?" Commander Apollo asked me.I think I'm delirious and I can hear Commander Apollo's voice inside the clinic. Why is he accompanying me to the clinic, right? I'm just a trainee.I'm still a nobody when I'm inside the camp. When I go out, I am Beau Orenciana
Tears and sweat are mixed all over my face. My feet hurt. I'm tired of running. The heavy downpour, accompanied by thunder and lightning, didn't help either. I had a hard time running. My feet sank into the soft ground. Every step I take is torture. My fancy clothes are in tatters. Its color has also changed. The previous pink color had become brown because of the mud that stuck to my clothes. I hardly recognize myself anymore.'God, please help me' That's what I keep saying in my mind. I never thought that the joyous celebration of my twentieth birthday would lead to me running away from my parents.Why did I end up in this situation?It started when I accidentally overheard my parents' conversation on the balcony of our mansion. According to them, our business has been failing for a long time. The little land we have with the Aguirres is the only thing that sustains us. That's why we can still eat every day and pay the house bills.As a solution to the problem, they took a loan fro
"I want to leave here! Don't you understand what I'm saying? Are you deaf?" I yelled in disgust at an officer in front of me.I really wanted to go to him to let them know that I wanted to leave this training camp. I'm not for this. It's a big joke that I'm here! I don't want to swallow a nail or climb a tree just to be a soldier! Oh my!I cringe just thinking about crawling through mud or shooting human-shaped cardboard boxes. What do I know about that, right? All I know is pampering myself. Shop at the mall for branded clothes. Go to a salon, do make-up. Soak in a milk bath. And order my nannies to do what I want. That's me. Then I come here to a training camp? I? Beau Orenciana? A princess? Wow just wow. I'd really go crazy if I haven't been out here."You're not really going to answer, huh? I said, I want to leave here! I went to the wrong place! I'm not for this. I don't know anything about it!" I screamed. I want to tweak my hair because of the problem I'm in. Is this a dream? W

"Miss Orenciana?"I looked at the owner of that voice. I bumped into not an object but a person. Not just an ordinary person. It's Apollo Madrid! The Camp Commander! Or maybe my eyes are just deceiving me.I was too irritated with him earlier so I hallucinated that he was there in front of me. I laughed softly. That stinky alcohol hit me differently. I see many impossible things.I pointed at him with my index finger. I open and close my eyes so that I don't fall asleep suddenly."You know, you look like Apollo Madrid,the tiger! You look like an identical twin because you look exactly his face", I said in a drunken voice."Miss Orenciana, are you drunk?" Apollo frowned when he asked me. I laughed even more."A-awesome! Even your voices are similar to his! I have memorized his voice..when I hear him, my whole being immediately gets irritated with him! You know that? He is the one I hate here in the camp. In addition to his bad attitude, his breath also stinks," I told the Apollo Madrid
I grimaced as Rhodora handed me the glass filled with alcohol. Who doesn't grimace, the cup she hands to me is the same cup that the five of them drank from. They are very unsanitized. Their saliva will mix in the cup and, worse than that, the person who drinks it can be infected with many viruses. It would be okay if Rhodora's companions looked clean, but they didn't, they looked dirty. It's not like they haven't bathed in a week. Or maybe I'm just judgmental. Maybe they bathe, but only once a week. Never mind. Why am I wasting time on their appearance? All I want is to get out of the camp but here I am in this situation where I have to drink from the same cup. How gross is that, right? They use plastic cups. I don't think they clean these cups."Take the glass. Are you going to drink it or will I report you? Come on! My arm is shaking" Rhodora threatened me."Why do you only use one cup? Don't you know proper hygiene? A lot of germs can be obtained from saliva", I hesitantly answere
I tossed and turned in my bed. I can't sleep because I'm not used to my bed not being soft. Their mattress is very thin here. Everyone even sleeps together. The boys' room is separate from the girls'. Each room has a number to which group you belong. And unfortunately. My groupmate is Rhodora. I don't really bother about her, but she is very annoying in my eyes. I don't fight with her, but she looks at me, as if she wants to stab me with a knife because she's so annoyed with me. Oh my! Whatever!Good thing now, Rhodora is not here in the room. I don't know where she went. I am not her mother to watch over her for twenty-four hours.I lay down and looked up. I was even more disappointed because I couldn't see the ceiling but the bottom of the bed. Who made this bedframe? Double deck. I'm under the bed. Am I really that unlucky? I was raised a princess and then this is my only bed in the camp? Apart from the foam being hard, there are still a lot of mosquitoes! And the place is so hot!
