The Ugly Nerd of Section 3 (COMPLETED) gxg

Chapter 39: After Examination

ALONA'S POV

Week after the examination.

I was here in the dean's office and was called again. And I hope this got to be a good news.

"Good morning, Miss Alona. Have a seat",Mr. Arañez greeted and I do as he says.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya at hindi ko mawari yung expression sa mukha nya nang may iabot sakeng papel.

Ganun na lamang ang panlalaki ng mga mata ko nang makita ang mga nakasulat dito pero ang pinaka-highlights dito ay ang nakabold na, 'Asuncion-del Prado University, 3rd of the most eligible and outstanding universities in the Philippines'.

Oh shit! Is this real?

From third to the lowest in ratings before, it reached into third to the highest!

"This is amazing",na lang ang nasabi ko habang hawak pa rin ang papel.

"Indeed amazing. And that's all because of your section. Almost of your classmates got 95% on the examination results and that was one of the most unexpected event we never see coming. They did well and they just prove how wrong it is that this intsitution used to exclude them",he stated that made myself filled with joy.

At proud kong isisigaw sa lahat ng nanghamak samen na, 'SECTION KO YAN!', Haha!

"Well, pano ba yan? Mission accomplished na ba ko, Mr. Dean?",nakangiting tanong ko sabay tingin dito.

"Definitely, AZ, the legendary Ms. Lotus of Lotus Clan. Mission accomplished and congratulations for the job well done",he smilingly said while lending his hand for a handshake which I gladly accepted.

Lotus Clan is the clan which I belong. That was based in Japan and I was known as Ms. Lotus as the codename of AZ. I'm AZ in the headquarters and Ms. Lotus when on fields.

That's why lotus flower means a lot to me. Like my commitment to Lotus Clan, I also gave my commitment to my girlfriend, Ynari, because what I gave her, pertaining to the special lotus, symbolizes my life-long commitment to her.

And only I know that, I guess.

"Thanks, Mr. Dean. I just did what I can but all of the efforts are from the Section 3. So I guess, this institution should make us feel that we belong to this university from now on? It's sad that we will graduate soon that we can just feel that for a short period of time",I remarked but he contradicts me.

"At least, you were able to prove that Section 3 was not just the Section 3 we used to know",he said and I agreed.

"Okay then, Mr. Dean, aalis na po ako and I'll spread the good news",I said smiling na magiliw nyang sinuklian din ng ngiti at pagtango.

"Dalhin mo na rin yang results. That's a copy",he said na nginitian ko ng matamis.

Pansin nyo ang dami kong ngiti sa kanya na madalas hindi ko ginagawa? Well, iba kase ang situation ngayon. Haha. Walang deals or what. Pure good news lang.

So here I come Section 3!

After ilang minutes lang nakarating na rin ako sa classroom namin at nadatnan ko silang tahimik lang at mga mukhang may iniisip na malalim.

Naagaw ko lang ang atensyon nila nang makita ako dala ang papel na ibinigay ng dean.

"Ghad, I'm so nervous!",one brat on my classmates said na sinang-ayunan ng iba at sinabing sila din.

Iba't-iba yung pagkakapwesto nila sa room pero iisa ang mga itsura. Kinakabahan sila lahat sa resulta ng examination.

I cleared my throat first that increase their anticipations na malaman na ang result kaya halos matawa ako. Parang mga tanga kase. Haha.

I looked at them seriously and started.

"So, Section 3, honestly, what you did in the examination is not enough because---"

"Fuck! Sabi na eh mabibigo tayo!"

"We didn't make it? Aww"

"No! It isn't true! We did our best right?"

"Why? Why? Why?"

Putol nila sa sasabihin ko kaya tumikhim ulit ako at seryoso silang tiningnan at natahimik naman sila.

"Okay, let me rephrase it. What you did in the examination is not just enough because---"

"Inulit mo lang naman Alona eh! Tsk",comment ng isa kong kaklase kaya tumawa na lang ako.

Pinapasuspense ko pa nga eh para masaya. Killjoy.

"because it's more than enough. We all passed",dugtong ko at ganun sila napanganga sa sinabi ko.

May nanlalaki ang mga mata at mayron pang bubuka na hindi ang bibig.

"We what?",mukhang tangang tanong ng isa.

"We all passed",I repeated as I shrugged my shoulders at after ilang minutes,

"Tang-ina! Seryoso? Shit! Ang galing!"

"DAMMIT PRE! WE DIDI IT! WHOOOO!"

"Talaga ba? Kyaaaaaaaah!"

"Makakapagcollege ng maigi si Tsong! Hahaha!"

"Tang-ina kinabahan ako dun! Buti na lang! Waaaaaaah!"

"Hayop! Congratulations guys!"

At kung anu-ano pang pagmumura at sigawan ang namayani sa loob ng classroom namin isama mo pa ang mga nagyayakapan at nagtatalunan kong kaklase sa tuwa.

Natatawa lang naman ako habang pinapanood silang tuparin ang hiniling ko noong bago mag-exam na punuin ang classroom ng sigawan at murahan hindi dahil nilalait ako kundi dahil nakapasa kami, nang bigla akong sugurin nina Rolando at barkada ni Joven ng grouphug.

"Ang galing mo nerd! Nagawa mo! Hahaha!"

"Naks! Iba na ang panget pero may talino at galing sa pamumuno! Whoa!"

"Salamat nerd sa pagiging masungit at istrikto samen! Hahaha!"

"Tang-ina, we owe you this good news a lot! Congrats sa atin nerd!"

At halos madurog ako sa higpit ng mga yakap na binigay nila sa akin samantalang napapailing na lang ako at nagsalita.

"Buong Section 3 ang gumawa ng good news na to kaya pasalamatan nyo rin ang bawat isa, okay?",sabi ko na lang at ganun na naman ang hiyawan sa sinabi ko at todo pasalamat rin sila sa isa't-isa.

"GRADUATION NA ANG NEXT! YEHEY! HAHA!"

And that made us happy even more.

Oo nga. Bilis lang eh.

At ngayon, oras na para icongrats ang girlfriend ko. Haha.

"Baby, congrats to all of us",sabi ko sa kanya nang makalapit at isang mahigpit na yakap ang ibinigay nya saken.

"We did it. Section 3 did it. Thanks to you",she said nang humiwalay sa yakap pero umiling lang ako.

"Lahat tayo. Not just me",nakangiting sabi ko at napatango na lang sya.

"Naks! May pagkahumble din pala minsan si Alona. Haha! Kunwari pa sya eh! But thanks you too, anyway!",Steff remark kaya nagkatawanan kami.

"Yeah, right. And congrats to all of us! Kyaaaah! Group huuuuuug!",Farah exclaimed at naggroup hug nga kami.

Halata sa mukha ng lahat na masaya kami sa naging result ng exam kaya may pa-celebration ang section mamayang uwian.

At walang hindi aattend. Sabi ng right and left arm ko na naging katuwang ko para mas mapasunod ang kaklase namin.

And mukhang hindi kami makakalusot mamaya sa party na sa resto ng isa naming kaklase gaganapin. Ang galing lang eh, settled na kaagad.

Iba na pag natuturuang maging madiskarte at maparaan sa buhay. Haha. Wala tuloy kaming takas dahil wala na kaming maidadahilan.

Buo na ang plano nila eh.

Presensya na lang namin ang kailangan.

Hayy, Section 3. Pinahirapan nyo man akong hawakan kayo noon, I'm still thankful that you proved to me that I wasn't wrong in trusting you.
