The Demon Who Falls Inlove (On Going)

Chapter 16

Vrialle Pov.

"Michaela Perez , FAILED." walang emosyong sabi nang guro namin. Lahat napasinghap sa kanilang nasaksihan.

"Pero ma'am nakalimutan ko po talaga yung sagot. Please ma'am just gave me one minute." mangiyak-ngiyak na sabi nung michaela.

"I already gave you one minute Ms. Perez. That is an enough time  to think for your answers. Your time is already done. You don't have any answers. And as what I've said. I don't accept any excuses. You already FAILED THE EXAM." She said emphasizing the word "failed the exam". Yung tila sinampal na niya sa mukha nito na bagsak na yung kanyang grado. She can't do anything to save her grades. Poor thing.

She can't help herself but to sob while sitting back to her chair. The girl beside her comfort her. Our classmates look pity on her. Then our teacher called another one. Then another one. Some failed, some has passed. I stop thinking when I heard my name.

" Vrialle Deville."she called. I stood up. I stayed silent not uttering any words or "yess ma'am" like they do. Like duhh. I just stood up to answer her question not to say "yes ma'am or whatsoever."

Her brows are now in straight line. Irratation is now visible on her face. The hell I care? Do I even give a damn? Damn her. Are she going to just stare at me irritately forever? Like helloo. My feet are starting to get tired for Pete's sake!

"Ehem*" I purposely clear my throat. "What's your question ma'am?" I ask just to make her realize that I'm standing here with my tired feet while waiting for her question.

She blink a couple of times before she realize what she's doing. A smirk form in my mind when I saw a familiar emotion paste on her face ..embarrassment. She cleared her throat first before start talking.

"Which stlye was develop in France in the mid 1100's and flourish in Western Europe up to the 15th century and which is characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses and large stained glass windows?" She asked while looking at me intently with her left eyebrow raise. All of my classmates look at me with pity in their eyes. It's like they're saying "goodluck" to me. Kita ko din ang palihim na ngisi nang guro namin.

Tsk. I admit, thats a long hella question but it didn't bother me. I love architecture! I got many books about architecture and some stuff that I can read in my house. So this,.....is just a piece of cake.

"Gothic style ma'am." I said. Kumunot yung noo niya habang pabalik-balik ang tingin niya sa desk at sa akin.

I gave her an "Ano-na-look". Tagal namn makapagsalita nito.

" Deville,...passed. "Tila labag sa kalooban niyang sabi. I glance at her before sitting down. All of them look at me amused.

"Sanaol." Rinig kong sabi sa isa kong kaklase. My brows furrowed hearing a new word. Tsk. Whatever.

"Woah. Naalala mo pa ang sagot sa haba nang tanong na yun?" manghang sabi ni mika. I just shrugged. Once again, she called another names. Ramdam ko ang packainis niya kaya lahat nang mga tinawag niyang pangalan pagkatapos kong sagutan nang tama yung tanong niya lahat  bagsak.

"Bemuedez, failed. Cargo,failed.. Castaño, failed. Bernaldez, failed. Vamíonte,failed." And etcheteras. Tsk.

"Mikaela Vertiez."

Agad tumayo si mika nang marinig ang kanyang pangalan. She's nervous. Lahat namn siguro ng mga estudyanteng tatawagin nang estrikto naming guro na ito  di mo talang mapigilan nyerbosin. The way our teacher look, she's always like a predator ready to eat its prey. Well except me. I'm not triggered by her presence anyway.

"Which French sculpture created The Thinker and Orpheus?" My brows furrowed hearing her question. I glance at mikaela who's now sweating heavily. Her hands are shaking in her back.

"Time's ticking Ms. Vertiez." She demand.

"J-Jean Arp, ma'am." saad niya pero di sya mapakali. I just felt something's wrong. Something's not right.

"Mikaela Vertiez...." She paused and glance at the paper she's holding." FAILED."she lazily said.

My eyes widened. I also heard some gasps. I immediately glance at mikaela who's now literally shock. Her body tremble  as she sit down. Then realization hit me. Now I know what's wrong.

"I object." I said then stand and look intently to our teacher's eye. Mikaela immediately look at me like "what-are-you-doing-look?", but I never mind it.

"And what is it Ms. Deville?" Saad niya habang nakataas ang isa niyang kilay na tila naghahamon nang away. Seriously? Is she really a teacher? Gosh. She act so immature.

"Pardon me, but Ms. Vertiez doesn't failed your exam not because her answer is wrong, but because you are the  one who failed asking  her a right question." I said coldly. She suddenly slam her hand on the desk causing everyone to get shock.

"V-vrialle." natatakot at nagsusumamong sabi ni mika na tila gusto na akong patigilin sa pagprotesta. Nangingilid ang mga luha  sa kanyang mga mata habng nakatingin sakin.

"Are you questioning my authority as a teacher Ms. Deville?" She said with gritted teeth. This time, hinawakan na ni mika yung kamay ko at hinila paupo para patigilin ako sa pagtayo pero di ako nagpatinag.  No way! Di ako makakapayag na ganon-ganon lang. Sa sitwasyong ito, malinaw saking isipan na yung guro namin ang may mali dito.

" You dont ask fair..." I said and pause to look to intently at her. And gave her a cold stare. I feel she's stiffened in her chair. "You don't ask fair question to your students. As what you've said earlier you'll ask question about architecture only. Then why are you asking Ms. Vertiez about sculpture? She would literally failed because she didn't know the answer and also because your question is not about architecture." I said. Tsk. Did she think na maiisahan niya ko? Tsk.Tsk. Kung naisahan niya ang mga kaklase ko at napabagsak pwes wag yung kaibigan ko. Kanina pako naririndi sa mga tanong niya na wala sa topic.

"And how are you sure about that little fact of yours Ms. Deville? How can you prove that your right and I'm wrong? Slandering a teacher has a big punishment Ms. Deville."is she try to threaten me? How foolish.

"Simple. As what you've ask to Ms. Vertiez. You've ask, "Which French SCULPTURE created The Thinker and Orpheus?", well Augustine Rodin is the French sculpture who created "The Thinker" and "Orpheus." And by the word "SCULPTURE" it already means that your asking Ms. Vertiez about sculpture and not about architecture.You suppose to be a teacher not a little liar ma'am. And ma'am, as what I've observe, you act so immature. Your a teacher right? So please act like one. We students can't afford to handle a small brained person and impatient like you. " I said. I immediately hold mikaela's hand.

"And by the way ma'am, failing a student grade without a heavy reason had a punishment too ma'am. May I excuse our selves."I said then lightly drag mikaela out of the room. Leaving our teacher speechless and dumbfounded.

" A-Amiga s-san tayo pupunta?"tanong ni mika habang pinupunasan ang kanyang mga luha.

"Principal's Office. We need to report that stupid immature teacher before any of you get's suicide and for failing your grade without heavy reason." I said. I stop walking when I hear her sob.

"Hey, why are you crying? Is it because of me? Are you mad at me because i protest about your grade? Well I didn't regret protesting earlier about your grade. And I won't even say sorry about it." I immediately said. She shake her head.

"No.*hik* I'm crying because I'm happy. *sobs* Kala ko babagsak na talaga ako.*sobs* I'm really thankful I had a friend like you. Di ko alam kung anong gagawin ko kung totoo mang bumagsak ako. Thank you very much Amiga. " she said and hug me while crying.

"Of course. What friends are for?"I said and hug her back causing her to sob harder. I just rub her back lightly. Then later on, we both walk and take the path toward the principal's office.
