ROSETTE


"Kuya, i'm gonna go na," Tipid akong ngumiti sakaniya bago ako umalis. Quiz bee ngayon at ako ng napiling pambato ng school namin, hindi na naman na ako nagulat pa dahil simula 1st year highschool ay ako na ang isinasali rito.

Hinatid ako ni Kuya Albert dito sa na ibinigay sa'min ni Ma'am Layon na address ng school. It's Public School, halo-halo ang school rito dahil Municipal ang sakop ng competition.

Ang Quiz Bee na gagawin ay tungkol sa iba't ibang subjects sa 3rd year highschool. Hindi naman ako nahihirapan sa mga lesson namin kaya confident ako.

Si Stacy ang kasama ko, lumipat siya ng school para sa'kin kahit na 4th year na siya. Pumunta pa siya dito para suportahan ako, nag paalam naman siya sa adviser niya at may signed letter ang babae.

I glanced at the crowd while pinching and poking my hands, I can't stay still because of nervousness but I know I can do this. I'm not anxious because of the quiz bee itself but the crowd is making me feel things.

Some of the contestants are with their parents, supporting ang giving them hugs and kisses before entering the stage but here i am, I'm with a friend. She shine like a diamond in crowd, sa ingay ba naman niya hindi siya mag s-shine?

"Good day San Juan High School! and also to our visitors from different schools. Welcome to SJHS!" The host said, I'm with the other contestants and they're not very close with me. We practice a lot in our school kaya casual lang kami.

Nag start na rin ang event at may napansin ako sa kabilang panig na tingin ng tingin sa'kin. He's making me feel uncomfortable!

Nag aalangang ngumiti pa ito. "what are you lookin' at?" i mouthed. Umiwas siya ng tingin at tinuon ang pansin sa dalawang nasa harapan namin ngayon, sila ang mag kalaban.

Nakalaban ko ang nasa kabilang panig at mukhang wala siyang ka-amor amor dahil parang loko-loko ito sa eskwela, pero paano siya nakasali rito kung ganoon?

Nawawala ako sa focus dahil kung ano ano ang nasa isip ko! Focus, Rosette Atarah, Ikaw 'yan, kaya mo 'yan! I brace myself para kahit anong mangyari ay ready ako.

Easy round lamang ito ay mamaya pa ang difficult round pero hindi ko pa rin ito papalagpasin dahil 3 points rin 'to!

"What is the name of the organ that pumps blood?" My competitor pressed the button so quickly! I already knew the answer pero naunahan niya 'ko!

"Heart," he confidently said. I brushed it off at itinatak sa isipan ko na babawi ako sa susunod na round, hindi ko dapat 'to damdamin.

Iniisip ko pa rin kung paano ko siya mauunahan, my fellow ally are great ones. dalawa lang kami na hindi nakasagot sa easy round.

It's finally my turn and i knew i was gonna aced it, i cheered myself in silence while i was processing the question.

Dalawang rounds lang 'to kaya alam kong kaya kong bumawi ngayong difficult dahil ako ang pinanlaban ni Ma'am Layon na kasama namin ngayon.

"Difficult round with 15 points," at kung minamalas ka nga naman ay pantay pa ang iskor namin sa iskor nila. Kaya doble ang kaba ko rito.

"Players, get ready. Good luck," My allies are supporting me with their smiles especially my teacher and Stacy.

"The number 3200 has the digit 3 in thousands place and digit 2 in the hundreds place. What number must subtract 3200 so that the answer is a 4 digit number with the digit 2 in thousands place , the digit 3 in the hundreds place, and zeros in tens and ones place?"
