The Short Love Between Jean and Rob

Finals

Athena's P.O.V

I am currently looking around the classroom, I am sooo bored.

Can't I just go home already? I know I just got here, but this is honestly the most  annoying day to have Finals.

Can't I just stay home and maybe watch slightly romantic films while eating macaroni and cheese?.

Yeah, you guessed it, It's Valentine's Day...and It's Finals day...
What a great timing, now I have to watch everyone recieve flowers and boxes of food from their lovers all day.

I don't hate Valentine's day, I just hate how we have to be in school ON Valentine's day.

I have this on going tradition of drinking hot chocolate, watching cheesy romance films that somehow makes me smile, and then eat some pasta.

I can't do all that right now though, our principal decided that since she won't be getting any dose of romance today, that she wouldn't let ANYONE be free too.

What an evil witch.

Anyways, I am currently eating one of the four packets of banana chips that was given to me by Gilbert for Valentine's day.

Yum, atleast this gift made my day.

Another minute in, and the Finals started.

Math? What the hell? Oh no, I forgot the formula.

"Psst, Gil., how do you do this? I mean what is the formula again?" I called out.

He explained it and we just started answering the questions.

We saw Jean looking at the wall... She's been very quiet today, I understand that she's worried about Rob, but she just told me that Rob already got out of the hospital...so, what gives?.

Maybe the Anxiety of thinking that It's not gonna be okay?.

After the Math and Computer exam,
I stood up from my seat and stroked her back, " Jean, are you okay?" I asked quietly.
She just looked up at me and smiled "Yeah, I am, just a little bit nervous about the finals" she stated.

Soon, almost all of our classmates are being sent flowers, boxes of chocolates, and more.

But the one that is just coming near our door is by far the biggest Bouquet that I've ever seen.

It's coming towards Jean.

Everyone stopped talking and just  looked at the flowers and then to Jean.

"Delivery for Jean Janella Corazon" the 'delivery' man said.

Jean didn't know what to do, she just took the flower bouquet quietly, still shocked.

The random guy just walked out of the room.
Soon, all of our classmate gathered around Jean and started asking her questions.

Well, I might hate Finals today, but seeing Jean happy and flattered is the greatest thing that I've seen today...well..second, those banana chips were delicious.

When everyone started to do their own thing, Jean pulled out a letter from inside the flowers, she opened it and read the words that are written.

After a while, I saw a little bit of tears coming down her cheeks.

She's crying...

She quickly wiped them away and hid the letter inside her bag, she thought that no one saw her cry...but I did.

I decided to just smile and act like nothing happened, I thought that It would be best to just leave the topic alone, It might be private.

"So lucky girl, how do you feel?" I said.

"Oh, well, totally flattered, but also a little bit guitly, since I didn't get Rob ANYTHING for today" Jean said while holding her cheeks.

"Ha! Well If you're guilty about that, then declare almost all of us here in this classroom who recieved gifts to be guilty as charged too" I said while laughing, yeah, everyone in this room who recieved gifts today didn't really expected someone to actually give us something, almost everyone here never really paid any attention to Valentine's day since no one is THAT interested in romance here.

She just laughed and just agreed with me.

After a while, our proctor came with more test papers, well, atleast one of them is a language subject.

I can deal with that.

As expected, the language test was the easiest.
The bells rang while the cleaners where cleaning the room.

We all got up and took our stuff from the front area of the room, our teachers makes us put our stuff away when taking exams to avoid possible cheating students, but by far, anyone who has cheated still failed the card...soo yeah.

The secret that no teacher has told anyone in our class is that test papers doesn't really matter THAT much, you failed exam? Whatever.

HOWEVER, you didn't raised your hand during that recitation and presentation? Goodluck with the Remedial.

Presentation, being active and answering questions from the teacher will give you more grade than the exams.
Trust me on that one.
