After I finally got over what happened, I decided to go out as well. Hinanap ko na agad si Ma'am Loreen para hindi na rin kami malate sa klase.
"Where did you go?" tanong agad ni Ma'am Lori na mukhang kakatapos lang din sa banyo. "D'yan lang sa tabi-tabi, naghanap ng libro"
"Let's head to the room so I can start teaching too." saad niya kaya agad din kami umalis sa library. Nagkwentuhan kami habang naglalakad at sabi niya may date raw siya mamaya.
My classmates settled into their seats, syempre we respect her as our instructor. She stood at the front of the room, ready to begin the day's lesson.
"Good morning, class," Ma'am Loreen greeted with a warm smile. "Today, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery through the lens of philosophy," she announced, capturing the attention of every student. "What does it mean to truly understand oneself, and how have philosophers throughout history grappled with this profound question?"
Syempre bida-bida section namin kaya all of us raised their hands, each eager to contribute their thoughts. Voices filled the room as they referenced the insights of philosophers such as Socrates, who famously declared, "Know thyself," and Descartes, who pondered the nature of existence with his axiom, "I think, therefore I am."
Buong section ay nagbigay ng contribution how they understand philosophy, the discussion deepened, exploring the various approaches and perspectives on understanding the self. Some students spoke of introspection and self-reflection as pathways to self-awareness, while others referenced the influence of external factors such as society, culture, and relationships.
Nagkaroon din ng debate at nakikitang natutuwa si Ma'am Loreen dahil we are interested about her subject. "Okay, class, let me further discuss this topic with all of you, and I'm glad to see that you have some prior knowledge about it."
An hour after, she finally dismissed us. "Saan tayo kakain?" tanong ko agad sa dalawa. "IDIOT! We still have class," Meghan replied. I just followed them again to our next class, and as we walked, I realized that our instructor is the one who dragged me to the library earlier. OMG! I'm not ready for this!
"Good morning," she announced, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "Get a sheet of paper and number it 1 to 300!" Her words echoed off the walls, sent a shiver down my spine.
Some exchanged nervous glances, unsure if they had heard correctly. But before anyone could question her command, Professor Moretti's tone shifted, her words laced with a hint of menace.
"Failure to comply will result in severe consequences," she added, her lips curling into a faint smile that sent chills down our spines. Ano bang nangyayari kay Tita, kinakahaban tuloy ako. Hindi pa naman ako nag-advance reading sa kanya, hay nako!
Agad ako kumuha ng papel at nagsulat ng numbers. "Pst." tawag ko kay Meghan. Mangongopya nalang ako hehe.
"Pst" tawag ko ulit, hindi niya kasi ako marinig. Bad timing dahil pagtawag ko ulit kay Meghan ay sakto namang napatingin si Ma'am sa akin. WAAAAAAA! malas!
"If I catch anyone cheating," she began, "I'll give you a warning. But if it happens again, if someone chooses to ignore that warning and cheat a second time, it's not just about them anymore."
Her gaze swept across the room, searching for understanding in each pair of eyes. "It impacts every single one of you! Your trust, your integrity as a class-it's all on the line here. So, if push comes to shove and I have to step in, mark my words: everyone gets a big fat zero. Clear?" There was a heavy silence as her words sank in, the weight of her ultimatum hanging in the air.
Shit! Paano ako kokopya kay Meghan nito. Nakita ko pang inirapan niya ako, luh may mens ata 'to. Binigyan niya kami ng tig-iisang papel na naglalaman ng mga questions. 1 to 300 talaga, daig pa namin magm-midterm exam e.

Puro calculate my gosh! It is not that hard but i know I will be lacking time to solve it. Imagine of all of this sasagutan for 1 and half hour lang, buti sana kung may choices kaso wala, anong sasagot ko rito. "Warning." The classroom falls silent as Ma'am Moretti stern voice echoes through the room, cutting through the tension like a knife. We exchange nervous glances, realizing the severity of the situation. Some squirm in their seats, while others stare blankly ahead. Warning agad wala pa nga ako nasasagot!
Lahat kami ay nawala sa pagc-contrate at panay tingin sa likuran, nakakabobo naman 'to si Ma'am. Hindi ko na sila ininditindi at pilit na sinagot yung question kahit wala akong idea paano iyon sasagutin. Paglingon ko kay Meghan ay nakatingin din pala ito sa akin na tila ba nanghihingi ng tulong kaya umuling ako tanda na hindi ko rin alam.
Si Tita Alessia kasi, nagbigay ng mga problems na hindi pa naman niya natuturo, buti sana kung nadiscuss na para sana may idea ako paano yung gagawin dito. "ZERO!" sigaw ni Ma'am.
Sa isip-isip ko kung sino mang poncio pilato yung nagcheat wala naman akong pake kasi zero pa rin naman ako kahit walang nagcheat. "Class Dismissed."
Inayos ko ang gamit ko at pumunta sa seats nila Meghan, "Sino kaya nagcheat?" bungad ni Aubrey. "Buti nalang hindi namamahiya si Ma'am, hindi niya binuking kung sino man yun." sambit naman ni Meghan.
"Mauna na ako sa inyo mga chismosa, bibili lang ako kape diyan sa malapit. Chat niyo 'ko kung saan next class ha, Ciao!" paalam ko sa dalawa. Pumunta na ako sa parking para kuhanin yung kotse ko at nakasalubong ko pa si Ma'am Loreen.
"Oh..Hi again, Aria!" bati niya na sinagot ko ng hello. "Saan ka punta?" tanong niya. "Ah, diyan lang bibili lang sa tabi-tabi. Ikaw?"
Nakita ko pang kinilig siya sa tanong ko. "Pupuntahan ko na yung ka-date na sinasabi ko sayo kanina" ah kaya pala kilig na kilig. "Ingat ka, Lori. Dito na ako" sambit ko sa kanya, we bid are goodbyes and I start the engine.
I planned to go to Starbucks because I was craving Blueberry Cheesecake, and I decided to add a Caramel Macchiato for a drink. Before heading there, I peeked to see if there were many people since this branch is always full. I was surprised to see Ma'am Loreen there. I didn't wonder anymore when Lori arrived before me because she uses a motorcycle. She was with a woman facing away, so I couldn't see her face, but soon they sat down, and to my surprise, I saw Ma'am Loreen's companion, Tita Alessia.
