CRIZA

"Just two students out of all the sections got a perfect score for this exam. I must say that I made this exam harder than I usually do to test your understanding, and it is such a relief to have students ace exams. Congrats, Ms. Criza." Mrs. Torres called me out in front of the class as I gleefully received my exam papers from her. My classmates applauded after. 

I couldn't help but feel proud and amused as I scanned through all the check marks I got.

"Was the other student Harvey po, Mrs. Torres?" My classmate Bianca suddenly asked as Mrs. Torres distributed the exam papers.

"Obvious, pa ba? Of course, it's him," one of my classmates replied to her instead.

"Crazy! So smart!" She commented after. Napansin kong nilabas nya ang cellphone at mukhang mag f flood na naman ng confetti emoji sa gc ng S.C. para i-congratulate si Harvey. 

"Awit, siya lang talaga ina-acknowledge. Naka-perfect ka 'rin no?" Komento ni Onie sa likod ko. 

Nilingon ko sya at pinagsingkitan ng mata, "Dear, hindi ko kailangan ng validation, please lang." 

Bigla naman natawa si Esnyr na nasa tabi ko, "Pak! Girls on top lang! Mamanhid na lahat ng may bayag!" Sabi nya at inapiran ako.

"Makapagsalitan parang hindi rin nagdadala ng dalawang itlog 'tong si Esnyr." Ayan na naman po sila, magaaway na naman ang dalawa kong bestfriend.

"Bago mo pakialaman lato-lato ko, isipin mo muna pano mo huhugutin pataas grades mo, huy!" Balik ni Esnyr sakanya. Napapikit bigla si Onie at napasandal sa upuan na parang bigla ulit nyang naalala mga past trauma nya.

"Puyat na puyat na ako sa work. Hindi ko na kaya magaral pa in between." Frustrated na sabi nya at pinatong ang test paper sa mukha. 

Mukhang busy naman ang lahat itanong kay Mrs. Torres ang mga sagot sa exam kaya tumayo ako at gumawi kay Onie. Kinuha ko ang exam mula sa mukha nya at chineck ang mga sagot nya sa test paper.

"Ayos naman essay part mo, darling. Sa calculations ka lang talaga lumagapak. Do you want me to prepare index cards of all the formulas you need to memorize? Kaya mo pa 'yan hatakin sa periodical exam." I advised as I scanned through his papers. Model kasi 'tong kaibigan namin at dumadalas ang shoot lately. Kaya pinagsasabay nya lahat kahit halos wala na rin syang tulog. Sabay sabay ang shoot at tumaon sa exam week. 

Bigla syang napatingin sa akin ng may nagniningning na mata, "Seryoso, darling? You'll do that for me?" He said with hopeful eyes. 

"Of course. I already have those. K'kopyahin ko na lang. I'll also send you a compilation of links on YouTube on how to calculate para ma review ka kapag may free time ka." I said and winked. 

Onie was so happy that he jumped out of his chair and hugged me.
