BEHIND HIS GLASSES
BY EMILY
"The fifth sorrowful mystery is the Crucifixion and Death of Our Lord on the Cross. Our father..." Pagpapatuloy ni Mrs. Cordero sa pagdadasal ng rosary na nakaluhod sa gitna ng klase.
At first glance people might think we just had our Christian class because we wrapped up with praying the rosary.
But no, sadyang maginoo lang talaga si ang Chemistry teacher namin kaya nagro-rosary kami before and after the class.
Ironic isn't it? She teaches science but loves God more than anything else.
"Amen." Nag-sign of the cross si Mrs. Cordero at sumunod din ang klase. Muntik pa nga itong hindi makatayo mula sa pagkakaluhod.
Finally! Our Chemistry class is finished.
All of my classmates were so enthusiastic to bid Mrs. Cordero goodbye.
I mean, who wouldn't? Our energy is drained after listening to a series of mixtures and lectures about the elements on the periodic table, for all I know.
"Oh nga pala bago ako umalis, isasauli ko muna sa inyo ang mga test papers ninyo mula sa nakaraang activities natin." Annunsyo ni Mrs. Cordero.
The whole class frowned to their seats.
"Ang mga hindi makakatanggap sa mga test papers nila ay automatic na kasali sa Angel & Soul study group or in other words, hindi kayo nakapasa.
You will be considered as the Souls who needs salvation..." Mrs. Cordero chuckled as if it was a funny joke. "But just in chemistry, understand?"
"Yes Mrs. Cordero" Walang ganang sagot ng mga ka-klase ko. Naramdaman ko pa ang mainit na buntong-hininga Austin na sumapo sa buhok ko, nasa likuran ko lang kasi ito nakaupo.
Alam niya siguro na hindi siya nakapasa sa activity kaya ganyan. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin kasi mas mahalaga sa akin ang resulta ng grades ko kesa sa anxiety niya noh!
"And by the way, yung mga nakuha ng eighty-five to ninety-five percent sa activities ay automatic na magiging Angels sa tutorial program na ito." Pahabol ni Mrs. Cordero habang koni-compile ang test papers sa kamay niya.
Dahilan para mas lalong madismaya ang mga ka-klase kong magagaling sa chemistry. They even let out a loud sigh in chorus because this is gonna be another burden to them.
