Ri-veal My Feelings

"Now, can anyone reevaluate the following examples and the elements it belong?"
Our Science teacher asked.

All of us raise our hand. And at the end, our teacher chose Nathalie. Figures.

"Salt is another compound, ma'am. Its chemical formula was NaCi which stands for sodium chloride."
Nathalie proudly answered.

"Very go--"
Our teacher was about to praise her, as usual, but i cut it off.

"But we are supposed to reevaluate it. So, for me saliva suits the example you provided, ma'am."

"Hmm.. okay then, Ms. Howard, what elements does saliva belong?"
She asked, not pleased because i just interrupted her from commending Nathalie for her 'excellence'.

"Actually ma'am, saliva is a solution; a homogenous mixture of substances that combine to form single liquid. And saliva is composed of a variety of electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, and phosphates. Also found in saliva are immunoglobulins, proteins, enzymes, mucins, and nitrogenous products, such as urea and ammonia. So to make it clear your question was not supposed to be 'the elements its belong' cause according to the examples and the situation you provided in the board it is--"

"Hmm.. so, are you saying that i am wrong Ms. Howard?"
Tangina, kaya nga kino-correct kita diba?

"Ofcourse she wouldn't ma'am."
Nathalie answered from my back, looking like she would defend me. But no bees would sense the sarcasm. And to look like it, it seems like the moment i opposed our teacher, the tension already builded in our room.

"Why would i ma'am? Are you?"

"Answer my question properly Ms. Howard."

"I also ask you a question, why can't you answer it.. ma'am?"
I ask keeping my voice polite.

She was about speak when our bell rang. Lunch time.

"Okay. Class... class dismiss."
She said still keeping our eye contact. And no, i wouldn't pull away first. Siya mauna.

At siya nga yung unang umiwas.

I arrange may things first, before leaving our classroom.

I plan to go to my safe haven. I'm not currently in the best mood right now.

I was about to go to the rooftop, but stopped when a bee suddenly talk.

"Pabida talaga ang perfectionist na yun. Imagine kino-rrect pa naman ang Science teacher namin. Ano, ganon na ka taas ang tingin niya sa sarili niya, porket top one siya sa section namin? Tch sa section lang naman namin yun eh!"

"At top two din siya sa total ranking ng Seldom High beh."

"Top two lang naman din yun!"

"Luh kamusta pala grades mo teh?"

"Hoy ano ba?! Sa kanya ka ba pumapanig?"
And blah blah blah.

Looks like kumalat na ang news sa pagiging 'pabida' ko.

I just head straight to the rooftop not minding the stares and the whispers the students i pass by, gaves me.

I open the rooftop door only to find it locked.

They wouldn't lock it naman, during school hours ah.

I still budge it, only to find that its not literally locked. May naka-ali lang.

I still budge it and gave my full force on opening it.

Until it open, with me giving my full force in it. I tripped... i embrace my self for the pain it will cause me, and.. yun nga, ang sakit.
