CLASS WITH A MISFIT: Along with the Beauties

Session 25

-MADPOINT GENIUSES-

CHARRE

"So, we really are starting, huh?" mahinang tanong ko kay Kevent na inaantay lang ang dismissal sa amin ni Ms. Mari sa hapong 'to. Nasa kaniyang upuan lang siya at nabalot ng seryoso ang mukha habang taimtim na nakapatong lang ang kaniyang mga kamay sa ibabaw ng kaniyang mesa. His eyes were in the process of changing colors again.

Kami naman ni Arcelo ay nakatingin lang sa kaniya, with me playing my hair with my fingers at si Celo ay nakapalumbaba lang sa kaniyang mesa.

"Yes, I'm doing this. It's all-or-nothing, Charre," tugon naman ni Kevent na nagpangiti sa akin.

Right, it's Monday of our fourth week, of the first trimester, at ilang araw nalang din ay prelims na namin.

Pagkatapos ng isa na namang quiz ay dinismiss na rin kami ni Ms. Mari. And finally, Kevent stood up once again and walked to the front of everyone. Lahat ng mga mata ay nakasunod lamang ng tingin sa kaniya.

'That obsession in his eyes...'

I smirked. 'I guess he's really that bad serious in putting success at hand huh.'

"Makinig kayo," he started, and not too long, continued.

A lot of words escaped from his tongue, pero hindi ko na ininda pa ang karamihan sa mga 'yon, dahil ang presensiya ko'y nakiramdam lang sa buong paligid: sa mga kaklase kong unti-unti na yatang napupuno ng determinasyon sa mga salita ni Kevent.

There were changes in his plans.

Kevent will deploy those who got the highest scores next to him and Lyophne in each subject as the main tutors for each.

Si Anna na malakas sa Language Studies was assigned to be the main tutor at that.

Si Haniel naman sa Physical Science.

Si Frije sa Advanced Mathematics.

Si Cheska sa Entrepreneurial Science.

Si Gregory sa Civic Studies.

Si Zarinol sa Athletic Science.

At si Rauda sa Metaphysics.

Si Kevent naman ang head and general tutor, at si Lyophne ang kaniyang assistant. These two were the top 1 and top 2 scorers for each subject respectively.

Kami naman ni Arcelo ay isa sa mga galamay niya lang na taga-sunod kung may pribado siyang iu-utos.

Bumalik tuloy sa isip ko ang naging conversation namin ni Kevent noong matapos nag-devise kami ng plano, when the three of us parted ways that night.

"About what you said before, 'you have something more than the class advanced study', I think I get what you mean by that," I told him.

"Talaga?"

I breathed, "You're planning to trigger the upper classes to get them against us, aren't you?"

Kevent smirked and answered, "It seems like you really are proving me wrong at judging you as a misfit huh, Charre?"

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin, nakuha pa talagang manuya, "Sadyang gumagana lang talaga ang utak ko ngayong gabi."

Natawa ang asungot, "You're actually right about that, Charre. Triggering them would make them lust over bringing us at the downer."

"But you're still planning another way around, right, Kevent?" nagsalita na rin ang kanina pang tahimik na si Arcelo. "And to do that, this coming week's assessment should..."
