Anthem Of My Hope

Foster High School

New day, New year and New school.
And it's also a new first boring day.
Kaya naman, I decided na ipikit ang aking mga mata.

Hey, I am Austin Scott Hughes. I am 16 years old,yes, grade 10 at sa class D ako. I love music. Music calms myself down, parang comforter ko na rin ang music at dahil din dito, I learned how to play instruments like piano. Sports? Naglalaro ako ng soccer at minsan ay baseball. By the way, other than talking about myself, I transferred here in....
Foster High School

Isang Boarding School. Pero kakaiba ang eskwelahang ito, dahil nakarank ang mga estudyante base from entrance exam. How?
Scores from 50 and below, is class D, tinatawag rin nilang, lowest class.
Scores from 51 to 75 ay sa class C.
Scores 76 to 85 ay class B, tinatawag ring mid-class at scores 86 to 100 ay sa Class A, highest class. Pero there are also ways how to win over those class. Ang kailangan lang ay magipon ng matataas na puntos until we become higher than them. If we become higher than Class C then we will rank up and Class C will rank down. That's how it works here in the School. Sa ibang salita, winning is every thing.

Each grade level ay may building at separated ang mga buildings, hindi sila magkakadikit. Yes, Foster High is quite rich at isa pa, each student have their own room, yes. OWN ROOM. Also, according to old students here, no one ever saw the Principal, no student ever saw the person who owns this School except teachers at bati teachers ayaw ring sabihin. I know it's something suspicious but just understand. I don't care anyway.

"Ok, good morning D class, I am Ms. Rivera" a woman greeted. Black long hair in formal uniform and brown eyes. "So you heard that Foster School is all about winning, isn't it?" The woman said seriously at napatango naman kaming lahat. "And you also heard that you are the lowest class...."
Pfft. No need to tell. Nasa D class nga diba so obviously alam namin.
"It seems like you all know the rules.
But there's this one rule that all of you doesn't know. We all know na sa points nararank ang isang class and it's all about unity pero we also rank you students in a class, only to those low scores. If a students got a score of 50 and below, at hindi mo mapataas ang iyong score in a given time then it's either you'll be suspended or... be expelled from this School."
So.... winning is really everything. Not just by class but also by... students.
"Ok, halatang clear na sa inyong lahat.
Let's start by changing seats... Here are few papers with numbers in it. Isusulat ko ang posisyon number sa board." Ms. Rivera said at nagsimula nang isulat ang mga posisyon sa board. Ipinasa na sa akin ang papel at binuksan ko ito. Number 1 ang nakasulat. Hinintay ko si Ms. Rivera hanggang matapos niya ang isunusulat. Once she's done, I looked for #1 at.... mukhang dito pa rin ako sa lugar ko. Back seat and near the window. They started moving and I didn't, same place. Plinano kong ipikit ulit ang mata ko. I waited and waited. I started opening my eyes when Ms. Rivera talked. I looked to my right at babae ang katabi ko. Long black hair, pretty much tall pero sa tingin ko mas matangkad ako. Hmmm, yes... mas matangkad nga ako. I stared at her for awhile. "What a coincidence" the girl said. Wait a minute.... This is the girl that I bump to just this morning.
Really, what a coincidence....
Pretty much boring magsalita si Ms. Rivera, lecture with no energy at all. I don't know why... maybe her hobbit.

Mabuti na lang at snack break na. Naghintay muna ako ng ilang minuto at lumabas para pumunta sa Canteen.
I walked while looking down till I  bump to a girl and the tray that she was holding fell including the food. I got down and clean up the mess.
"I'm so sorry, I wa---" tumigil ako ng makita na ang babae na katabi at nakabangga ko ay siya rin ang nabangga ko ngayon. Seriously....
"What a coincidence" I said and continue cleaning. "I'm really sorry. Uhm, in exchange, I'll just treat you... as my apology about this morning and about just awhile ago." Sabi ko. She nodded at me. Nagorder na ako ng pagkain at nagbayad. Ipinigay ko sa kanya ang inorder niya at bumalik sa Classroom.
