Groupings
"Pst" someone poked me but I didn't bother to mind. Not until someone shouted that made me back to reality
"Celestine! Are you with us?" Ms. Laurio said our terror teacher in English
I was occupied the whole class at hindi ko namalayang kanina pa ako tinatawag. Iginala ko ang tingin sa paligid at lahat ng tingin nila ay nasa gawi ko, parang gusto ko na lang maglaho bigla
"Y-yes Ma'am," I said nervously. Her aura changed and knowing her she will not let it pass so I made an excuse
"I'm just not feeling well po, sorry" I said trying to sound unwell
"Are you okay? You can take your quiz or not?" She asked expressing her concern but her question made my eyes widely open. Pero agad din nakabawi at sinagot ito
"I can handle ma'am," I said. Then she started giving a paper in front, which made me relieved.
Muntik nako at kung nagkataon ay baka hindi pako makapag-take ng quiz na malaking pursyento ang bawas sa grado kung nagkataon. Gusto kong batukan ang sarili sa katangahan
I heard him chuckled and I feel my blood boil because of it. I glare at him pero agad itong tumingin sa papel at tumuloy na sa pagsagot. Siya ang kumalabit saakin kanina pero ngayon ay gusto 'kong ibuntong sakanya ang frustration ko.
Kung wala lang teacher baka natuloy na ang balak ko noon pa na hampasin ito ng bottled water.
"Get one and pass. In 20 minutes we will check your paper" sabi nito nagpa-apila sa mga kaklase
Sinimulan 'kong magsagot ng quiz na puro identification. And since I encounter those questions when I review last night ay madali ko lang ito nasagutan
When I'm done I walked in front to give my paper at dahil sa ingay na nagmumula sa sapatos habang naglalakad ako. Nagsimulang magsi-angat ang ulo ng nadadaanan ko.
"T-tapos kana?" tanong ng nadaanan na sinagot ko lang ng tango ng makilalang si Valeña ito
I'm confident with my answers, kaya ipinasa ko na "Hindi mo ba irereview ang sagot mo?" Tanong ni Ms. Laurio sa harapan ng maipasa ko ang papel
"I have done it already, Ma'am" I said then she just nodded
Pagkatapos ng lahat sa pagtetest ay pinamigay ulit ni ma'am sabay nagpalitan na by group, nagkaron pa ng gulo dahil sa pagikot kung clockwise o counterclockwise ba
"Who's the highest?" She asked that made everyone silent and pay attention including me
Kadalasan na kinukahang score ay ang mataas at mababa, kung mataas o mababa isa lang iyon, matatawag ka. it's either mapapahiya dahil mababa o hahangaan dahil mataas. At kung pasado ka naman ay less exposure diretso record lang
"Eisen Ferrer, Ma'am," someone said at the back, which made me look on his way
"What's the score?" The teacher asked
"Perfect"
What?! Naghintay ako sandali para sa susunod na magsasalita, inabangan na mabangit din ang pangalan pero katahimikan lang ang namayani dito, and it means one thing. Aligaga akong lumingon-lingon kung sino ang nakakuha sa papel ko
I made sure all my answers are correct. I also review it twice and check all spelling per column. I answered it cautiously because I know that just one wrong and it will all affect the remaining score
"Second to the highest? " tanong nito na parang kuryoso sa score ng bawat isa na naging pabor saamin
"Gomez" someone utter at the first row and other followed as well
