I'm at the library trying to remember the terms that I memorized earlier. Maraming tao sa library ngayon because it's semi-finals week and with that, it means hell week.
Nasa harap ko ngayon sina KAT at Vy while Red is beside me. Maraming papers si Vy na pinagtutuunan ng pansin and she's highlighting some words. KAT on the other hand is busy with her calculator, nag-sosolve ata.
"Red, what do I do after this?" Red leaned on the table dahil kaharap lang naman nito si KAT. Halata sa mukha ni KAT na medyo nahihirapan siya.
"Substitute then calculate this one again..."
"Ah, I see..." KAT groaned in frustration and covered her face. "Why aren't we classmates? I would just make kopya nalang sayo!" tumawa si Red sa sinabi ni KAT
"Right, me too. Kopya ako sa'yo sa terms." Red shrugged. "But our room is next to yours. You fly me a paper plane nalang, okay?"
Tinapunan ni KAT si Red ng lukot na papel. Baliw talaga 'to. Tinawanan lang naman siya ni Red.
"For a student that ranks 1st in their strand, masyado kang nagwo-worry, KAT." tumango ako sa sinabi ni Vy.
"And ranked 3rd in average sa buong gr.12 students. Tie kaya kayo ulit ni Vy, KAT? "
"Shh! Chismis!" napairap kami sa sinabi ni KAT.
Humble. She's always been like that, ayaw niyang pinag-uusapan ang ganyan and I don't even know why. Maybe she feels awkward about it.
I glanced at Red and smiled wickedly at him.
"Ano feeling na 'di belong?"
"Are you challenging me?" tinawanan ko siya.
Pasok naman si Red sa top 10 in average even though he's just so carefree and cares less. Ang importante daw sa kanya is to enjoy and to survive, well, isn't that what all students wanted?
I glanced at my wristwatch at 10 minutes nalang bago magsimula ang examinations. Nagpaalam na ako sa mga kaibigan ko na mauuna na ako. I was currently fixing my bag's zipper when i bumped into someone.
"Sorry!" sabi ko agad pagkalingon ko.
"Watch where you're going." masungit na sabi nito.
Nilagpasan niya na ako pagkatapos. It was Darlene. I mentioned how she has always been my rival when it comes to rankings. Most of the time we tie. I don't know if mainit talaga dugo nun sa'kin or if she has always been like that. Masungit.
Hindi ko nalang masyadong inisip at naglakad papunta sa classroom ko. It was my fault anyway.
I was already on my seat and having my prayer because I don't know if I could survive this exam smoothly. I was still closing my eyes as I calm myself down when I felt my phone vibrate.
I took it from my bag and I received a message from an unknown number.
Unknown number:
Good luck with your exams.
My brows furrowed at tumipa ako para mag reply. I just don't give my number to anyone kaya bago sa'kin 'to. The sender didn't even introduce itself.
Me:
Who's this?
Agad naman itong nagreply.
Unknown number:
JET
My eyes widened as soon as I read the reply. At the same time, I felt something weird in my stomach.
I was about to ask how did he get my number when I remembered that we switched phones. Oo nga pala, I called my phone using his.
Me:
Thank you! I needed that.
