I was confused.
This is my first time in a draw.
I know no one, who could ever beat me in a Math competition.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
I was always the one selected, competing in and out the school, and even out of the country. I know a lot more than anyone else. I started learning algebra, geometry, and calculus, at the age of 10. I am trained. I am !
"We will have a tie breaker. Katheryne Singh, Kyle Caligtan, be ready."
We both went to the board, me and that Kyle boy.
The question was read, so easy, i thought. I was about to box my final answer when .... when ... when the proctor ...... sa...i....d.....
"We have a winner! Congratulations, Mr. Caligtan. You got the right answer first."
WHAT ????!!!!!!! WHO THE HELL IS THISS ???!!!!!!
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
The winner was announced. But I haven't admitted defeat yet.
Kyle Caligtan, 1st year Maligaya High School.
I won't forget this.
i won't.
And gosh! He's just from a public school, and I'm in a private school for executives! Who the heck is this Kyle-Math-genius-boy ??!!!
I was about to leave the contest room when I heard my name. It was the Kyle-Math-genius-boy.
"Katheryne ba ??"
"WHAT?"
"Wala lang. Grabe, galing mo! Congrats!" Is he insulting me ??!!!
"The battle's not yet over." I said.
"Alam ko ! See you, next year!"
I made a sarcastic smile then left. I called my mom, and asked for an agent.
"Give me a background of this boy. Kyle Caligtan, 1st year, Maligaya High School. I need it before the school year ends. " I hesitated "No. I need it as soon as possible."
The agent left the house.
I have decided.
I'll transfer to Maligaya High School this school year.
