Before clicking the start button, huminga muna ako nang malalim. I am Arya Astrid Fonacier. An honor student from St. Agatha School of Mount Carmela and taking this exam should be easy. Kayang-kaya ko to.

"Game!" I exclaimed as I pressed the start button at lumabas ang exam. In a quick inventory it is a multiple choice. After encoding my name "Brandon Garcia" nagsimula na gumalaw ang timer sa gilid.

Hindi naman mahirap sa totoo lang. Some questions are tricky but they're easy kung babasahin nang maayos. Hindi ko pinansin yung timer dahil kakabahan lang ako kapag ginawa ko yun.

Halo-halo ang questions. Mostly Social Science ang marami at English.

Nung matapos ko na lahat may natitira pang fifteen minutes. So I decided to review my answers. Nung two minutes na lang ang natitira isinubmit ko na yun.

A dialogue box appeared and it said na kailangan kong maghintay ng three minutes dahil chine-check na ang exam ko.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit mas kinakabahan pa ako rito kaysa nung mag-exam ako sa St. Agatha when I was in sixth grade. Sometimes fate is being playful. Malay ko ba na baka mamaya bumagsak pala ako.

Napatalon ako when I heard my phone beeps. A text message from someone.

+639051234...: Hi, how's your day? Is everything okay? –Blaise

My brows shot up. Am I reading this right? Did I just received a message from him?!

Tinignan ko muna yung screen ng laptop ko bago siya replyan, When I made sure na wala pa ang result, I started typing my reply.

Reply: Hello fake bf :) I'm fine, thank you!

Binitawan ko na ang phone ko because right at that moment the result came in.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU GOT THE SCORE OF 100!

Nakahinga ako nang maluwag. First task accomplished! Another dialogue box appeared kaya binabasa ko na yun.

Having a perfect score on the entrance examination has its perks. Congratulations! You are no longer required to be interviewed by the principal for you are already accepted as a student. Just submit your personal information and school records if you already have the time for it. Check your e-mail after twenty four hours. Again, congratulations and welcome to the house of wolves!

Tumunog ang telepono ko kaya napatingin ako doon ulit. It's Blaise and this time he is calling. Sinagot ko naman.

"Hello" salubong ko sa kanya

"Hi gf" he answered in a playful tone. Natawa na lang ako.

"Oh anong kailangan mo? I am quite busy you know" sabi ko

Narinig ko siya na natawa.

"I need you now"

Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa biglaang pagseryoso niya. "May problema ba, Blaise?" curious na tanong ko.

Nanahimik siya. I actually thought na ibinaba niya na but when I checked my phone naka on call pa rin naman kami.

Bumuntong hininga siya then he started speaking again. "Maoi's parents don't believe me when I said na may girlfriend na ako. So they said that we should meet them" he said slowly

Hindi ko alam pero biglang nag-init ang ulo ko dahil doon "What is it to them kung may girlfriend ka o wala? You don't have to prove anything to them" naiinis na sabi ko.

"I know.. but I already said yes" sabi niya

I rolled my eyes. "Can we have a quick fact check here? What's with her parents?" tanong ko
