It had never crossed her mind, that Mandy Gilbert, would live in her imaginary life when the boy she had a crush on since primary school, Justin Bedington, chose her to be his wife. Mandy knew Justin for as long as she remembered. She was only able to look at him through an untouchable wall known as ‘reality’.
         Justin is crazy rich, the son of a CEO in a multi-billion company in the U.S. Being surrounded by countless pretty girls, selected as head of the Student Council, brilliant, a social butterfly, and a highly dedicated person he was, didn’t make Justin got easily overwhelmed by that. Though he lived in a world full of loving gaze in any where he went, he gave zero care in it—even when almost half of the girls on this planet were head over heels in him.

Problems after problems appeared unexpectedly.

           So, how did the drama queen overcome the problems she faced and admitted all the biggest secrets that separated Mandy from her loved ones?

Confessions of a Drama Queen

Mandy's Diary at Senior Grade

Guess what day it is? Haha, Friday. As usual, right? For me, today is like an ordinary day. Nothing special. Except when I peeked from under the covers, the calendar on the nightstand whose numbers were plastered so large in front of my eyes. Number 13. The number that people think is unlucky. And coincidentally I was born on the 13th of this month, today. That means it's my birthday.

Pinch me and tell me it's my birthday. My birthday! It's not interesting. But when I remember that now my life has changed a little from ashes to a princess in an imaginary land, I get excited to welcome my morning.

Oh, oh, oh! Don't forget the part where Mom would kiss me on the cheek, surprise me with a cake and sing with Dad, Steve, and Candice. I would cry if they still carried out the tradition, even though I was now eighteen years old. Not very mature, right? I'm still my Mom's Little Mandy.
