A surge of pain coursed through my veins as I read the contents of the paper.
It wasn't any ordinary pain.
It was the pain in my heart.
I failed Mathematics.
WTF?!
Swiftly, I opened my eyes and scanned through my result slip that was wet with my sweat. As my eyes registered every subject and it's score, relief poured through me in waves as I saw a "pass" even though it wasn't good enough. However, when "Mathematics" came into my line of vision, my gaze was locked onto its score.
30/100
God please tell me, that was all a nightmare. When I wake up, all these would be fake.
My heart shattered to a zillion pieces and my whole mind was in a state of panic. I didn't know how to react. I didn't know how to cry. I didn't know how to face my dad at home and my mum in heaven! Just then the voice boomed at the speaker again.
"Jewel Leslie, please proceed to the principal's office. An important matter awaits you."
Everyone's gaze shifted to me. Not knowing how to recover this trauma, I slowly trudged to the principal's office, ignoring all the calls behind me. All the while... My feelings and senses were true! All those pain and fear of reality... Were real... Why the hell did I have such abilities? Was it a curse? It had to be! I failed!!! There wasn't even a freaking A in my grades. I starter crying in the inside. The tears were tearing me apart. What did I do... That made me live such a miserable life?
When I stepped into the principal's office, my eyes rimmed with tears. Mrs Rose, the principal, embraced me in her arms. Within those arms of hers, I couldn't feel warmth. All I could feel was the coldness in my tears and the pain in my heart. If anyone were to bring me down, one word mentioned about my failure could send me falling into pain.
"I know you worked hard dear... I could see it this year, but you are still the last in level... And as you know, when one fails... He or she has to retain for one more year or transfer to another high school to seek special assistance for his or her studies."
"I know that."
Feeling that the world was against me, I couldn't listen to all these anymore. I wanted to stop. I wanted to end all these. I wanted to die. I reached for the door and ran out of the principal's office. I didn't know where to go, or what to do. All I could do was run with all the pain in my head. Just as I was about to step out of school, my eyelids drooped heavily and all I could see was pitch black. Before I knew it, I had fainted.
