I woke up extra early for today since this is the first day of midterm exams. I've got a pretty good score in the last exam and I would make sure to get a spot on the top ten.

My mother didn't cook lunch for me since I'll be going back home early. It's always like this in the time of examinations, we would be released ahead of the normal schedule to ensure that we have ample time to study and review.

I got down and quickly finished my food before going to the toilet. Since I woke up pretty early, I can use the bathroom without having to speed up my actions since I'm not the only student in this house.

I caressed my dog Bimbi before feeding her pedigree simmered Beef Flavour With Vegetables and left the the house.

I walked for a minute and found a tricycle nearby and got inside. The clouds were pretty much dark and the cold wind almost blew my skirt. It seems like there's a storm coming, I think I've heard it on the news.

I bet everyone's thinking that since there's an upcoming storm, school would be suspended, we students would love that.

That's why were more updated when it comes to news like that, it's just a piece of meat for us to find and reason out to other teachers that since it rained and is still raining, school must be suspended.

Even so, let's get this test finished once and for all.

...

It didn't take long for me to arrive, the classroom was still unoccupied with several students, just seven of us. The rest have their heads lowered as they read through their reviewers.

It wasn't long before on the rest of the class arrived as well as our adviser. Before answering the test we all moved our chairs and each have a one chair space to prevent students from copying. Though that's impossible, students would cheat no matter the time and the circumstances.

The test papers were passed in an orderly manner and as soon as the teacher announced that we should get a piece of paper, almost everyone in the class asked for paper.

Of course, I always have intermediate paper and has never been without it and as soon as I placed one on my desk, eyes bore into me.

"One peso for one piece of paper" I said with a haughty tone before tearing one and placing it on my desk.

I could hear their hopeful hearts shredding after saying that but I didn't care, this is a must. Business is business, there's no friends and family when it comes to business.

"Hey! We're friends aren't we?! After all the memories that we've spent together! How could you?!" My other friend, brix, a prankster kind of guy whined.

Oho! That's what we always say and heard when our close friends/ non close friends wants something from us.

"He's right! What about us!" Carl, another make friend of mine argued while I glared at him hatefully.

"What? Am I a school supply store?! Why do I have to give you one huh?!" I retorted back before the teacher arrived, her eyes already zooming in the students obvious action of begging for paper.

My teacher shushed the students down before ordering the others to not give paper to those who do not have. She said it's their punishment and should but their own. Instantly, my classmates went outside and bought paper that only cost them one peso and sat down.

Fortunately, I had finished the test with confidence and left the class with my other friends. We went to the gymnasium and and asked for the answer to this question, or if we did the same formula and so on and so forth. It lasted for half an hour before we get up to leave.

"Jamie" I heard Tintin behind me, she clasped her hand on me and tugged me to her side.

"Yes?" I asked with confusion etched on my face, she must have notice the look on my face and whispered to me.

"I'm going to confess to him can.... can you come along with me?"

"S-sure" it took me a minute before I replied, my eyes unconsciously peering at his figure before snapping it shut.

I take her hand with me and told our friends that were going to buy something first and that they should go first. They nodded with a bit of puzzlement before I opened my phone and messaged Willmark.

Yes, we're already friends in Facebook though we don't really chat each other that often. We weren't that close in the past months but I can say that I did have a better impression of him though his ego is still as big as his head, I can manage it.

Tintin asked me to message him and lead him outside the school, it feels like I'm smuggling some drugs and is afraid of being seen.

Can you meet us outside the school? I'll wait for you outside the gates.

My hands hovered on top of the screen, it felt like I wasn't supposed to send it but threw that feeling out of my head before clicking send. I saw the relief on Tintin's face as she hugged me tightly before I choked out a good luck phrase to her.

She immediately went out to the meeting location. My mind is in a storm of thoughts just by watching the blatant enthusiasm in her walk before sighing.

I don't know what happened to me, maybe I'm just too tired from reviewing all night, yes that must be it.

Time continued to tick and the next thing I knew, I was already waiting outside of the gates and have met gazes with him.

Oh boy, let's just hope this confession would take a better turn.
