Regret

17: Another Problem

Neil's POV

Today is when we get to watch our movie projects. Ours went smooth. I took part on the camera and men's attire. "Let's begin with group..." Mr. Hawthorne does like suspense. "...five." It's Reid's. The night after their recording, Den, one of their members, chatted me saying their group's meeting place is where Meika's and Beryl's also assembled. Guess telepathy was relevant on those groups. In their movie, they managed to be really serious in contrast with how they are in reality. Oh me I'm not denying, I am only five percent serious in stuff haha! We applaused for the first group. It's our turn.

"Four." Mr. Hawthorne called us. I took out the USB that stores our film and immediately plugged it in Mr. Hawthorne's netbook. No one should worry, I always make sure USBs are virus-free. Throughout the movie, everyone could notice how the plot gets more serious as it continues playing. All clapped after while giggling because of the bloopers.

"Three." And I gotta say they did good as well. I bet all the groups. It's Beryl's by the way. According to Den, they laughed at them for her groupmates' late arrival making Beryl shout in her native language. Can imagine it hoho!

"Two." Meika's. I like their setting. Celeste really got her acting enhanced. Good to watch more of her here and NOT as an extra. Ren, dunno why but I really think his role suits him. In case I had murmured my statement, whoever heard mustn't tell him I said so. Same character for Lawrence. Since day one of being in the same class with him people always make him portray the action characters and he seemed to be getting the hang of it as years pass. Art...wow man.

Here comes the...

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"HAHAHA okay shush now class!"

...bloopers. Even Celeste the sternest turned into Goofy hahaha!

"Last and definitely not the least, one." The group which we're clueless of or it might be just me. I barely hear from them amid the month.

Now this is interesting. Leaving the viewers guessing who's responsible.

I am right. All the movies are great I can't vote for the best one.

"Amazing. I was very much surprised with all the videos. I'll be rating you equally for that." We became happier with that one statement from our professor.

*bell ringing*

"Alright lunch time! See y'all tomorrow!"

"Goodbye Mister Hawthorne."

We all exited our room simultaneously and properly for break time. Not literally simultaneous alright? Haha. As always I'm with my sister-friend Celeste, Miku, Ah-Seun, and Gaiea. "I'd like to have these." I told Ms. Bailey, one of the cooks, referring to the vegetables. "Okay. two point five dollars." I gave the payment right away and followed Ah-Seun to where we'll sit. Not longer than five minutes and Miku is already with us. Chatting while wolfing down on our meal, I felt a presence on my right side. Why is she here? "If you don't mind." she says. "Yes, join us." Ah-Seun beamed shortly at her. I didn't mind them until she started cracking up random topics. Ah-Seun answers her the most. Just finishing my food here, she's not talking to me anyway. We walked straight to our room after sans Trix who went to her boyfriend named Marion James, an accountancy student. Yes, her, and I learned his name from all of what she said. I do hope she isn't sneaky.

"Are choco bars your favorite?" I asked Gaiea who is eating one. "Yeah, why do you ask?" An instant response. "I keep on noticing you eating one every after lunch." I said spontaneously. "You don't have probs with that do you?" Gaiea questions a minute after my words were spat.

"Course I don't. But I'm thinking you might have diabetes early."

"Man, haha, I'm not too much on them, only in univ days." She took one out her bag and catapulted to Celeste who easily caught it. "Thanks. Um, why?" Celeste with a questioning look. "You need it. Welcome." Gaiea went out to throw the wrapper.

--------------------
"I'll be distributing your papers from last week's test." Mrs. Gill announced. Feeling sorta nervous about my grade. I can't be called putrid but I'm not mathematically intelligent either. From the professor's table, Mrs. Gill gives away the test papers, handing them to the nearest student Ryen who passes it on to the next student, same thing until the owner receives. Minutes passed and I got mine. A two point five, thank goodness! Now I'm worrying on Celeste.

"Psst Neil." Ah-Seun lowly calls me from behind. "Yeah?" I mouthed.

"What's yours?"

"A two point five. You?"

"Good one. Unfortunately, Celeste's is three." Ah-Seun said in a sad tone.

"Why unfortunately? Ain't bad."

"Bruh. She's the lowest, nobody else." WHAT?! "And how did you say so?"

"Ah so you didn't hear Misis Gill announcing our grades?"

"Eh...nope." I honestly replied. "O-kay?" She nods. Geez, await for bashing from the 'plastics' again. Reminds me of when Celeste was lamenting about the computations last month with the 'plastics' trashtalking. It's not like the others didn't have trouble too hmph. And I admit I was one of those students.

After the subject...

"The heck. How did she pass?" Anaisse purposefully asked her squad. Anyway, Mrs. Gill dismissed us earlier since our lessons for the first quarter are all through. "Yeah, with that pea-like brain? Shame." Renee? Thought she was good. Pretentious.

"Dude stop me."

"Already am." I told Celeste whose left arm is between my grip. I'd be affected too if I'm in her shoes. "Still a lot more chances." Gaiea tried to comfort her verbally. "Hope so." Celeste added. "I'll keep Renee's gift, even if she's a faker."

"I don't know if she really went to school or slacked." Eileen ranted.

"So juvenile." Ah-Seun murmured to us.

"With that persona, why are they here? Should be reeducated."

"That's it Celeste. Fire at 'em." Gaiea said. "Stay quiet though. Let 'em get tired HAHA--oops sorry." I shushed myself when I noticed my laugh was loud. "They'll see. I'll make their jaws drop once I get to pay back on the next tests." Celeste kept quiet after making her statement. Me? Maths aren't really my strength but I can probably give her a boost.
