CTS 4 | Frustration
I was to complacent. I gritted my teeth in anger. My head hanged low as I stare at the test paper on my both hands. It was crumpled and close to tearing, I've never been humiliated.
Name: Priecisllia Venerio
Institute of Science and Mathematics
Score: +A | 99/100
I couldn't contain my emotions, I'm near to tearing up. I just want to burst out, ilang quiz na ang nagawa namin at ito na ang pang limang beses na hindi ko ito ma perfect. My feelings worsen when I was assigned to bring back the papers to my classmates and upon seeing Yvo’s test paper I just couldn't contain it anymore.

Score: +A| 100/100
When I handed it to him, he just gave me a bright smile. How can he..
“Uy pres, congratulations! Siguradong perfect mo!” Masiglang boses ni Amiel ang nagpabalik sa akin sa realidad, he was titling his head like a puppy beside Rajan. I don't know what gotten to me but I felt insulted by what he said.
Perfect? I was close to!
Rajan on the other hand just side eye me, his elbow rested on the table as he rested his chin on his palm. “Amiel don't talk to her,” he whispered.
Amiel looks so clueless, “pare anong? Bakit?”
Rajan sighed, “just let her be.” Aniya.
I bit my lower lip that I can taste metal. Hindi ko na napigilan at dali-dali akong tumayo saka dumiretso sa banyo hawak-hawak pa rin ang napunit na test paper. Surely, they'll gossip again as I accidentally grab their attention when I stood up, the chair creating a noise.
My black shoes were heard all over the comfort room. I went straight to the cubicle then sat in the closed toilet, I couldn't hold back the tears glistening, on after another they cascade on my cheeks like a faucet. The emotions were overwhelming, I found it so hard to cope up. Full of frustration I grabbed my head as I hit my head.
Nasanay akong magaling ako sa lahat that's why when Yvo came I was so affected. I don't want to be second placer, it was just one mistake that will pull me down! I should be the one earning perfect points! I studied ny ass off! I attended summer camps and cram school every weekend and this is the result of my hardship?
How can Yvo pull those tricks off? Siguro he is cheating? Maybe he's doing something! Wala naman siyang ginagawa sa klase, hindi siya nakikinig, natutulog lang siya lagi... Maybe.. I should do something to prove that disgusting poor guy is a cheater————
“Anong nangyari kay pres? Ma'am Avina called her. Out of the blue lang siyang umalis?”
“I don't know. Napapansin ko nga teh, tuwing mag-aanounce ng scores iba lagi iyong reaksyon niya,”
“Huh? What do you mean? Ano pa bang ayaw niya? Siya naman na ang pinaka matalino sa klase? We are all looking at her up and the one we're envious of!”
“Maybe teh, ayaw niyang nalalamangan. So competitive! Scores lang naman ‘yan parang ikakamatay niya kapag hindi niya na pe-perfect. Kaya ayaw kong makipag-kaibigan sakaniya ayaw niyang nalalamangan.”
