What’s taking so long for this traffic to be cleared up? It feels like I’ve been waiting an eternity here. But then, I have to be patient. I have no choice but to cooperate with the busy people rushing to their offices. I understand that but can’t they even consider moving at an orderly rate as not to cause traffic jams like this. But if it’s a normal traffic jam, shouldn’t it be cleared by now? I wonder what was going on. I started asking around for info. One of the individuals there have informed me that the traffic jam was caused by a vehicular accident 5 minutes ago that caused the flow of traffic go tangled. The medics haven’t arrived yet and the two drivers are both in need of immediate treatment at the hospital. Even though there were policemen everywhere, it was certainly out of control. If I switch routes, which means going around the other way is going to take up an awful lot of time. This is really hopeless. Guess I’ll just attend the afternoon classes…
When I got home, I told mom that I wasn’t able to go to school this morning because of a big trouble back there at the road. Then I proceeded upstairs to my room.
I lay down on the bed with a resounding creak of the springs. I closed my eyes, and thought of something that I wanted to remember. But what is it exactly? I’m just wasting my energy trying to remember stuff instead on focusing on my mathematics test later. Aw whatever, I don’t care anymore.
“Wake up…late…school” I can hear a familiar voice in my dreams. But somehow they sound so weird I can’t make any heads or tails out of it. Then there were some shakes and nudges. What lousy timing, and right in the middle of a dream too! I just ignored the shaking and the plea.
And I refused to give in to the one who was calling me. Later on, there were violent shakings and a loud scream. I immediately bolted up from bed and checked up on Mom downstairs.
“M-mom!? Are you ok? What happened to you!?”
“Nothing happened to me at all, really. I’m glad it woke you up.”
“What? But I heard you fall down from the stairs… Wait… All of that was just an act to wake me up?”
“Ha ha ha, yep since all what I did to wake you up was useless so I thought of doing that for a change.”
“Oh mom… you made me so worried.”
“Well there’s nothing to worry about now. Come now, eat your lunch already there’s school waiting for you.”
It seems to be that I fell asleep the whole morning. And it was lunch time already. After eating lunch I headed to school to catch my afternoon classes.
“Hey, why are you not present earlier?” my friend asked.
“Oh that errs… I was having a rest since I got a cold yesterday and then I was already feeling better so I went to classes this afternoon.” I reasoned out.
“Here” she said, handing me the algebra book. As I flipped over the pages there were all answers in on the test questions.
“Review them so you won’t fail this time. I stayed up all night to finish answering them all you know. So you better pass this test alright?”
I smiled and hugged my friend tight and said “Thanks.”
And I started cramming all these knowledge for the last 30 minutes. Once the bell rang classes will already resume for the afternoon class. After lunch time is that dreaded subject Math. And in the thirty minutes I have spent reading and memorizing all the formulas and terminologies are really making me so addled right now. I have just reviewed very little stuff so I have no guarantee that I shall be passing this darned test. Oh well, pass or fail this test let it be.
