The exam is finally over, but I'm still having temper tantrums.
"How was the exam?" Kuya Ethan enquired.
I finished the matcha cake he had brought me. But I'm still not satisfied, not with the food, but with Kuya Archer.
"I'm not going to talk to Kuya Arc. I hate him!"" I exclaimed angrily.
I gripped the spoon tightly in my hand and began sharply stabbing the cake. I could see Kuya Ethan's terrified expression in my peripheral vision, but I didn't care.
"Busy lang siya Ace," medyo kabadong singit ni Kuya Ethan sa gitna ng pagmamaktol ko.
Hmph!
"Andito naman ako, Aestella. Ba't ka ba kasi umaasa do'n sa Archer na 'yon? Tsaka teka nga-"
"Are you using your phone during your exam?" His tone becomes quite serious, and his facial aura darkens gradually.
"No? I used it during a small break. Tsaka, do you really think they'd let me?" Irap ko.
When I messaged Kuya Archer to let him know I had returned to the Philippines, he promised to surprise me, but when I replied, he just left me on delivered!
Kuya Ethan's phone rang and he said, "Excuse me, let me answer this call okay?"
I agreed by nodding.
My phone started ringing as well, and it was Zherra, so I answered it right away.
"Neiz, wie geht es dir?" I smiled through the phone.
(how are you?)
"I'm fine! Your exam? How was it?" she asked enthusiastically.
"It's done, I can finally rest," I remarked with a breath of relief.
After a long flight and an intensive review for this test, I was relieved and happy that I could finally rest. But I'm still worried about the outcome.
It all comes down to luck. I'd still enjoy my life whether I passed or not.
"Please do! I can't wait to study there with you, by the way," she said with a smile, after a moment of realization I paused.
My eyes widened, and I quickly focused entirely on her. What the? Did I hear that correctly? My lips fell open as my eyes remained in a circle.
"What?!" I exclaimed in disbelief.
She burst out laughing. "It's been dull in here since you left. So... I informed Mom that if I didn't get into Yale, I would transfer to the same university as you!"
I nearly burst out in a shout of joy. I can't believe Zhera will be attending classes here. I'm not sure yet, but I hope she gets accepted to the university of her choice.
"God, Zhera... You're really full of surprises," I laughed.
I had to say goodbye to Zhera when I noticed Ethan coming toward my table.
"I'll talk to you later! Tschüss!" I hung up the phone after her saying goodbye to me as well.
(Goodbye!)
I acted innocent as I ate the cake in front of me and acted as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on?" I asked, referring to the phone call he just had.
He took the last bite of his cake before answering my question. "There is an emergency and I have to go. Do you want to stay here and ask Archer to come? Or do you want me to take you home? "
I merely said, "No need."
"Are you sure?" I nodded as I watched him walk backward, it seemed like he really needed to go immediately. "Update me, okay? Tawagan mo'ko if you need anything."
