"S-Second place?!"

I couldn't believe my eyes. Kinurot ko pa ang sarili ko.

It's still there.

My name below someone else's name...

May nakatalo sa akin?

That's impossible! I have never ever lost to someone.

"Better luck next time na lang, Angel," said my classmate who was also my teammate during the Science Quiz Bee. "Matalino mga taga Prep School e."

I shook my head in disbelief. "No! There must be a mistake!"

I looked at our scores. The top 1 had a perfect score of 50 and mine was 49. Just a point difference!

Some girl with short hair and eyeglasses went to look at the board as well. May sumusunod din sa kanyang nerd na lalaki.

I mean, not to be judgemental but he looks like those typical wimpy kid. He had Harry Potter glasses, braces and he was so thin that he looked like he could get blown away by the wind.

"Hey, Blaze, you're top 1!" announced the girl. "Whoah! Miss was right! You really do great in Science."

The boy laughed. It was the most annoying laugh I have ever heard. "Not really. Katherine would still have done a lot better."

Then, they kept on talking...

So, this is the guy who placed me second? What was his name again?

I looked at the board.

Blaze Samael Inclement

Ang pangit ng pangalan. Parang ginawa lang para pagtripan.

My teammate then pulled me away from there because "I looked like I could kill them"—her words, not mine.

However, the next Science Quiz Bees were all the same. I couldn't get the first place anymore. It's always that random nerd called Blaze.
