บททั้งหมดของ Defying the Norm (English) : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"Hi, Felice!"   "Gosh, Felice is so nice!"   "Yeah I want to be like her too!"   "You bet, sis! She's totally the girl to look up to!"   I heave a sigh upon hearing those. Most college girls would want to listen to those compliments, but not me. I just find it annoying and … not true.    I mean, it's obvious that they don't really mean what they say. They are just saying those because they want me to notice them, and they want me to notice them because I'm popular. If they get to be close with me and be with my flock, they will eventually get to the top.    I rolled my eyes at that though

I stayed up late that night because I have so many readings in Philippine History. I also have three papers to make for my communication subject and I still have to answer queries from the dean's office about our upcoming acquaintance. "Felice, you're not asleep yet?" I turned around and saw mommy and daddy who just went in. I smiled and stood. "Good evening, mom, dad," I greeted and kissed them both on the cheeks. "Why are you still up? It's getting late already," mommy said. I just sighed and shrugged. "I still have a lot of things to do, mom. Don't worry I'll sleep before 12," I assured her. She stared at me for a bit, but eventually nodded her head. "Okay, we'll go upstairs already, okay? Go to bed after." "Yes, mom." I heaved a sigh and went back to my chair. I could do these in my room, but that will just make m

It was Sunday. My cousins from my father's side would usually visit our house during this day. Mommy has declared Sunday a family day so we really have no choice but to gather here in our house. "Felice! Why aren't you dressed yet?! You cousins will arrive soon!" I heard mom yelling. I almost rolled my eyes and closed the book that I was reading. I stood up and went inside the house. Mommy is with our maids in the garden, preparing our lunch. It's still quarter to 9, but it has been our tradition to go to mass every Sunday with the whole clan. I went to the kitchen and just grabbed a sandwich before heading back to my room. I sat on my bed and ate my sandwich first. I got my phone and messaged my cousin, Karrie. We're just a small clan actually. Daddy has two more siblings, a girl and a boy. Both of my tito and tita has two children each while daddy has me only. Karrie is my clos

I was not in a good disposition when I went back to the  student council office. I could even still feel my face burning. I almost finished my iced milo on the way here.  I slumped my back on my swivel chair and put my milo on the desk. I covered my face with my two hands and shouted on it.  Oh my gosh, Felice! Oh my gosh! I don't think I can still have a face to show him after that!  I know it was an accident, but heck! I could already picture my embarrassing face!  Why the heck did that happened?! Why are you so clumsy, Felice! Ugh! This is so frustrating!  I had to almost bury my face on my desk just to get that scenario out of my head. I didn't know for how long did I stay in that position. I just sat properly when I

My hands were shaking as I affixed my signature on it. I closed the folder after and stared at it for some seconds. I bit my lip and took a deep sigh. Oh come on, Felice. You're just gonna give this to him. For god's sake calm down! I clenched my fist and swallowed the lump in my throat. I sighed and stood. I fixed the folder and went out of the office. I walked to the Arts and Letters building. The faculty was just on the ground floor so, I wasn't stuck with the bulk of people waiting for the elevator. I took another sigh before I knocked and opened the faculty's door. I sighed and slowly enteered the room. I gulped when no one was there. My forehead creased and finally entered the room. I didn't know where Sir Greg's table so I had to search for his name on the nameplates on the table."Miss Lemuel?" I almost jumped in shocked when I heard that voice. My eyes widened and I immediately looked at my side. There
