Chapter 12: Ease

Early one morning, the classroom was filled with the tempting aroma of fried chicken. The smell wafted through the air, making it hard to concentrate on the pile of English practice papers scattered on desks.

The school committee member, busy correcting math problems, wrinkled his nose in annoyance.

"Sinong nagbaon ng fried chicken? Don't you care about our studies? Nakakagutom oh. Wala ba kayong konsensya! Hoy ben, ikaw ba iyon?"

ben, grinning mischievously, brandished a box of fried chicken. "Hungry? Gusto niyo? Just swap it for an English practice paper."

The groans from around the room were almost audible. "Ugh, I forgot about the English homework!"

"Come on, let's get this over with!" others urged, scrambling for the papers in desperation.

Yesterday, their English teacher, Mrs Sarah, had assigned a monstrous 100 multiple-choice questions for homework. Many had barely made a dent before crashing into sleep, leading to chaos.

ben, satisfied with his morning mischief, turned to Sheng Wang, who was slumped over his desk, looking unusually pale. Sheng Wang's uniform sleeves were neatly rolled down, and he seemed completely out of it.

"Huy, Sheng Wang, why are you so sleepy before class even starts? Ok ka lang?" ben asked, waving the fried chicken box in front of him.

Sheng Wang, barely lifting his head, fumbled for his papers and slapped them down on the desk. "Thanks for the chicken," he mumbled.

"Are you sick?" ben's concern grew as he noticed how haggard Sheng Wang looked.

"Seems like it. I forgot to turn off the air conditioner last night," Sheng Wang said, his voice sounding rough and congested.

Ben sighed. "You should go to the infirmary. Sa ground floor.."

Sheng Wang, barely able to focus, asked weakly, '' ang layo naman.. "

Before Gao ben could respond, Jiang Tian, who was passing by, overheard and chimed in, " may malapit na clinic dito sa atin. ''

Ben tried to clarify. "clinic? Ang alam ko sarado yun eh.."

Sheng Wang nodded vaguely. " wag nga kayong maingay."

Ben noticed something off. "You're really not yourself today. Did something happen?"

Jiang Tian, standing nearby, gave Sheng Wang a long, unreadable look but remained silent.

Ben , puzzled, exaggerated his gestures. "Why's everyone looking so serious? Did I mess something up?"

Ignoring ben antics, Jiang Tian eventually said quietly, "malapit lang dito yung infirmary . pwede naman kasing magtanong tanong." Pagpaparinig sakin ni jiang tian. I just nooded but didn't seem to have the energy to move. i pulled his school uniform up to cover my face, trying to ward off the chill i felt.

As the English class began, Ms. Sarah spotted Sheng Wang slouched over his desk and, with a steely gaze, said, "Why is Sheng Wang lying there like that? Does he think his English scores give him the right to slack off?"

The class turned their attention to Sheng Wang, who looked up with a pained expression. Ben , feeling the pressure, spoke up, "masama ang pakiramdam niya maam."

Mrs. sarah, her gaze softening slightly, said, "If he's sick, let him be. But he needs to come see me during lunch break for an interview."

'' ok maam. Sabihan ko po. '' wika ni ben., ben is aware of Mrs. Sarah's fearsome reputation, hesitated.

Meanwhile, Mrs.Sarah, after dismissing the idea of using test paper for review, turned her attention back to Sheng Wang. "Jiang Tian, can you get the papers from Sheng Wang's desk?"

Jiang Tian, who had been standing nearby, approached Sheng Wang and carefully reached into the desk where the papers were stored. Sheng Wang, barely awake, looked up with sleepy eyes.

"A-anung nangyari?" Sheng Wang asked groggily.

"Class is over," Jiang Tian said quietly.

Sheng Wang blinked in confusion. "Really? How long was I out?"

"About 40 minutes," Jiang Tian replied.

Sheng Wang grumbled and pulled his collar up, trying to block out the cold and his discomfort. "Call me in class."

Jiang Tian, now holding the papers, handed them to Mrs. Sarah, As he walked back, he couldn't help but glance at Sheng Wang's exhausted state.

As the class continued, Sheng Wang felt a mix of frustration and fatigue. He pulled out his phone and messaged Jiang Tian: "Are you trying to get me into trouble?"

Jiang Tian, catching a glimpse of the message, simply shrugged and returned to his seat. The day continued, and Sheng Wang struggled through the classes, determined to make it through despite the mounting discomfort.
