In the morning...
"July baby" Orlando chants with a soft slow voice.
"Yes dada" she replied sitting on the dinning table eating her breakfast.
"Are you done with your breakfast," helplessly coming down from the stairs, he brought her tiffin along with her school bag "and hope you have completed your homework"
Taking another spoon which contain fried Irish potato into her mouth, she rolled her eyes "yes dad" she said then continue eating.
In a rush, Orlando packed up Juliet's food into her tiffin and arrange her books into her bag. Preparing a little girl every morning alone for Orlando was a bit hard task to complete without aunt Migel. Making her hair. Dressing her into her uniform. Bathing her and packing her breakfast. All these, Orlando has to do it while aunt Migel is away.
"Now hurry up," he packed her hair in a two ribbon as she rush her breakfast "your school bus will be here anytime soon" he added.
"Okay dad" she nodded.
Not a minute ago, Orlando and Juliet claim the horns of her school bus outside the estate. Vigorously and furiously, he hurried up to put his daughter's textbooks into her bag, a letter fly away from one of the book unknown to him.
"Now get up" Orlando said while he carried her in his arm straight to the bus.
Running towards to school bus, Juliet feet stopped then turned aback, she ran back to her dad and hugged her dad so tight "daddy" she said emotionally.
"My sweet little angel" he hugged her tight and kiss her forehead. Waving away, Juliet ran to the bus with her tiffin and her bag as she wave back and the bus drive away.
The bus was moving slowly based on the safety of the children, Juliet walked from the door of the bus to sit near her schoolmate. Naively, she sat close to her looking nervous.
"Hey Bubbles, will you be sitting close to that ugly thing" a boy said gazing at the girl that Juliet sat close to.
"Let it be boy, that thing is gonna stain Bubble's beauty and looks like I'm having a double doubt on marrying Bubbles in the future" another kid behind Juliet's sit.
Without a word, Bubbles gaze at Juliet with a weird look and stood up "excuse me" little Bubbles took her bag and left the row. Bubbles always has a crush on Diego, same goes to him too.
Quiet alright Juliet is ugly, so ugly that you can't stare at her for a second, she has been use to the abuse and insult already, so the action that Bubbles did just now didn't move her a bit. No actually a little. An interesting part is that even though she's ugly, she held her self-esteem and pride high, she never allows anyone to tamper with them. She's brave and toleranting, when a students bully her she doesn't show too much concern but the fact is that she's naive, nervous and fragile.
In the big man wide school, Juliet doesn't have a person to call a friend, what makes the staff of Bright Academy school to like her was that even though her face doesn't score a good grade, her brain read hard and she's always the top in her class.
Wagging the stupid act of Bubbles, Juliet sigh out of relief as well as she roll her eyes "Atleast I have enough place to sit as well as my bag" she said, while she dropped her bag on the other sit.
It wasn't too long when the school bus entered the school gate and all the student went out of the bus. Bright Academy school remain the best and the richest school with high honorable teachers with high level of education in the whole of Philippines. The site of the entrance to the main halls is almost a kilometer, from the elementary hall to the high school is about 3kilometers away. Juliet belong to the elementary hall class 3b which is located at the fourth stairs. She make her way through stairs as the students on the floors began to murmured to the thin air, all eyes were on her as well as fingers. Not that their admire anything. But feel irritated by her presence.
Not a single glance did Juliet gifted them while she walk fast to her class, all she keep doing was rolling her red bloody eyes.
She went straight to her sit and brought out her tablet, the classroom become noisy with absent of a teacher in it.
Juliet was about to listen to her toturial before she claim the awkward statement her classmate made from behind.
"Hey, you ugly thing" a kid said pointing towards Juliet from behind.
Losing her temper, Juliet hit the desk the stood up and turn around "don't you dare call me that again, I had enough of this insolence of yours.
"Ugly girl" another kid said trying to irritate her.
"Dont call me that again" she said with a pitiful look, soon tears ran out of eyes.
"Ugly girl" the whole class echo the name laughing so hard like a wide demon.
