My Girlfriend Is a Aswang
Episode 1
[ST University. One of the most prestigious, yet ruthless, universities in the Philippines. They say that its students are known to be the most competitive in any academic competition. They always strive to win.]
[Every student dream of getting in, but only a few could pass the mentally traumatizing entrance exam. Once you're in, the challenge is to survive if you want your degree and an opportunity to any career your heart desires.]
[Because of ST University's reputation, any fresh graduate can mostly land any job as long as they have the university's name in their profile. That's why, even if it's one of the most cruel and strict schools, the nightmare is still worth it.]
Random Student
Hey, did you hear?
Random Student
Huh, what now?
Random Student
There's a new transfer, a first year senior high.
Random Student
Wait, I heard about her!
Random Student
I heard her father's loaded.
Random Student
Yeah right that's how she got in, according to the rumors.
Random Student
Eh, not surprising. Every loaded family dumps their children here, so they can flex.
Random Student
Yeah, you're right. I wonder if she's going to survive here even with all that money...
Random Student
Yeah, money only works at the start. The rest is all on you.
Miss Terro
*Slams book on the table* Alright class, quiet.
[Every student immediately went to their seats]
Miss Terro
As you may have all heard, we have a new student, please introduce yourself.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Hello everyone! I'm Charlotte Del Fierro. It's nice to meet you all. I hope to get along with everyone!
[Her loud voice and enthusiastic demeanor shocked everyone.]
"Pres is not gonna like her..."
Miss Terro
*slams book on the table again* I told you to be quiet, didn't I?
Miss Terro
*looks at Charlotte* You can take a seat at the back.
Miss Terro
Alright! Since our class has already started a month ago, our new student needs to catch up with everything. Now, I assume you'll lend her a helping hand, so she won't fall behind. Am I clear?
Everyone: "Yes, Miss Terro!"
Miss Terro
Good, let's begin today's lesson.
[Charlotte sat at the back silently as the teacher was discussing. Occasionally, she would notice some students glancing at her. It was obvious that they wanted to talk to her. However, unlike other schools she went, everyone was intently listening to the teacher. None dared to even chat with their seatmate.]
Charlotte Del Fierro
(Huh, so this is how ST University is. It does live up to its reputation.)
[As her eyes wandered around, she noticed an empty seat across the room at the very front, and another one just beside her.]
Charlotte Del Fierro
(I wonder whose seats those are...)
Charlotte Del Fierro
(Nevermind)
[The bell rings and it was time for lunch. Charlotte went to the cafeteria to buy some food. As she expected, every student couldn’t help but glance at her whenever she passed by them. When she arrived, a brunette-haired girl approached her excitedly.]
Seraphine
Hi, Charlotte Del Fierro, was it?
Charlotte Del Fierro
Uhh yeah?
Seraphine
*gasp* Oh my god! Do you remember me?
Charlotte Del Fierro
Hmmm... *realizes* Sera?
Seraphine
Yes, Lottie it's me!
[They both squealed and hugged each other]
Charlotte Del Fierro
Gosh, it's been forever!
Seraphine
Damn right, the last time we hung out was when we were still kids in America.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Oh, I miss those days!
Seraphine
We have so much to talk about. Come with me.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Wait, just a minute. I need to buy food.
[After Charlotte bought her food. She followed her childhood friend, Sera, to a table with other girls eating.]
Seraphine
Everyone *snaps fingers* attention. I'd like you all to meet my childhood best friend, Charlotte Del Fierro!
[Seraphine ushered Charlotte to take a seat and they sat facing the others.]
Tori
Hey ghurl! It’s nice to meet you. I'm Tori
Seraphine
These are all my friends from Junior High
Charlotte Del Fierro
Ohh I see. Hey everyone! I hope we can be friends from now on.
Charlotte Del Fierro
I gotta say, I'm a bit shocked on my first day here. It's definitely nothing like America.
Seraphine
Right? I also felt the same when I was new here. Even after knowing all the rumors.
Penny
You're totally right. The teachers don't give a shit if you fail on their subject. You can't even plead for them to give you extra projects for an additional grade.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Really? You can't even bribe them with money?
Rica
Yep, I heard their monthly salaries are bigger than our allowances combined.
Tori
Buuut, even with all that, we still made it to senior high.
Seraphine
Of course! Thanks to me. Y'all better be grateful. *smirk*
Charlotte Del Fierro
Well, Sera, I am now very interested in what you've done.
Seraphine
*giggles* Oh no, we can't talk about it here, Lottie.
Seraphine
*whispers* The campus walls have ears.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Ahh, I see. Well, tell you what. Let's all have a sleepover at my place this weekend? I would absolutely love to get to know all of you!
Rica
A sleepover at Charlotte's place? Hell yeah!
Charlotte Del Fierro
Psh, just call me Lottie.
Penny
I heard you currently live in Edenville, is that right?
Tori
*gasp* Isn't that where celebrities live?
Charlotte Del Fierro
Psh, duhh. Obvi.
Tori
Oh my god, I'm so excited!!
Rica
Me too! I wonder if I'll see some there....
Seraphine
I can't wait for the sleepover, Lottie. There are so many things I want to catch up with you.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Same here, Sera.
[Everyone continues to chat with each other while eating their lunch.]
[Charlotte went home to see her father, sitting in the living room with his tablet.]
Mr. Del Fierro
Welcome home, dear. How was your first day?
Charlotte Del Fierro
Oh, the usual.... Except, I met Sera.
[Charlotte flopped on the sofa with her bag, crossing her legs]
Mr. Del Fierro
*looks up from tablet* Ah, I remember her, your childhood friend. I assume it was a pleasant reunion.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Yes, we'll be having a sleepover this weekend.
Mr. Del Fierro
Sounds good. I'll have our butler prepare everything for you.
Mr. Del Fierro
So, you only need to focus on catching up for now.
Mr. Del Fierro
*sigh* Of course, Dad
[Charlotte stands up to go towards her bedroom.]
Charlotte Del Fierro
*turns* What.
Mr. Del Fierro
I’m only allowing this, one time. After that, you focus on your studies. I’m sure you’ve had your first impression on your first day.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Ugh. Yes Dad, I know
Mr. Del Fierro
Don't forget our bet.
Charlotte Del Fierro
Gosh, Dad. You've told me that a hundred times already!
Charlotte Del Fierro
I'm going to bed.
[Charlotte turned around and stomped her way upstairs.]
Charlotte Del Fierro
YAYA! Bring me dinner!
[A maid who was standing by, flinched and hurried to the kitchen.]
