“Buy me some medicine Ed.”
What a bother. I have to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for my mom and I have to be absent to take care of her. I already know that the people will never believe me if I said the reason I was absent was this. I don’t care anymore.
I arrived at the pharmacy, picked up a number when I’m to be called and sat on the bench. There were a lot of people. I was waiting for the other people to be done when I saw an old lady.
“Hey! you’re the “forgot the phone” guy right?”
I saw her and I completely remember that she was the one who helped me with my phone and gave it to me.
“Yes ma’am. Thank you for helping me at that day.” I told her.
When I saw her, she changed. She got thinner and it looks she cut her hair. The last time I saw her, her hair was long and now it’s short. I guess old people still want to go to the salons huh..
“No problem. You should never forget your things especially valuables okay? I guess you have already learned after that incident.” she told me.
“Yes ma’am. I will never forget again.” I told her as I was ashamed for being so careless leaving my phone at that day.
“Number 33. Where is number 33.”
“Oh. It’s already my number. Thank you again ma’am. See ya.”
“Oh. Okay. See you!” She told me.
I asked the pharmacist for some medicine and bought some and went home. Looks like my mom was getting better fast and she told me to report to class in the afternoon. What a bother.
I went to school, so tired and annoyed because no one believed me that the reason why I was absent was because I took care of my mom. Nah I don’t care anymore.
I sat to my chair. I immediately slept.
“Why absent?” Gail asked me.
“Don’t bother asking. You wouldn’t believe anyway.” I told her.
“The results of the periodical exam are already finished. We have many outstanding scores.” Our English teacher said.
Well I’m not really interested. Ricky always got the highest score so I don’t care.
“Ricky’s score is 98/100!”
“What the hell? How does Ricky do that? He always gets the highest score. He’s so intelligent..” That’s what everyone is saying.
“I’m not finished yet you know. I didn’t say he was the highest.” The teacher said.
EH? Someone got a score either 99 or 100?? Everyone in the class was very noisy and couldn’t imagine that someone would get perfect and get a higher score than Ricky. Ricky couldn’t believe it himself and he was shocked and he looked pissed off.
“Congratulations to..
Gail Mwen who got a score of 99!”
Eh??!! Gail got 99/100??!
“What are you?” I told her.
“Shut up. I couldn’t believe it myself.” She said.
Everyone was so shocked but couldn’t help themselves but give a round of applause. Ricky looked really pissed and punched his seat.
“Only in the essay that both of them got wrong.
Talking about outstanding scores, someone also got a great score.”
So another guy got a great score huh.. People are getting intelligent these days..
“Karl Ed Zod. You got a score of
10.”
“Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” Everyone was laughing at me while I just slept in my seat.
“Don’t mind them.” Gail told me.
“Nah It’s okay. I got used to it anyway and I don’t care.”
“Wahahahahaha! What a loser!” Ricky shouted. I didn’t mind.
“Such a brainless nobody hahaha!” After Ricky told me that, It started to piss me off a little bit. I walked to his seat even though I was tired.
“It’s painful not to get the highest score right? Don’t release your anger to me you nerd bastard.”
I told him at his face. He froze and got angry but he just looked away feeling very angry.
“Come here Ed.” I was told by my teacher to talk to her.
“I checked your test paper and you didn’t right anything at all. You only answered the last part that was the essay. I read your answer and only you got the perfect answer in the essay.”
“Huh?” I told her.
“Why didn’t you answer the first 4 test types? Reading your essay made me think that you have the potential.” She told me.
“Eh? I have the potential? Hahaha. Sorry ma’am but I think it was just plain luck that made me get a perfect score in the essay.” I told her.
“You still didn’t answer my first question. Why didn’t you answer the other test types?”
After hearing that I slowly headed to my seat and told her,
“I’m just tired.”
I sat back at my seat. The teacher stared at me for a few seconds. She looked at me like I was some kind of a criminal. After she stared at me she smiled like she realized something. I didn’t care and just slept.
Everything ended after ma’am announced something to the class.
“Everyone,
we are having a new student in the class. Please welcome her.”
