"Kindly inform your parents that we have a meeting tomorrow and at the same time, the distribution of cards."

"Yes Ma'am!"

"Class dismissed."

As soon as our adviser left, I can hear groans from the girls and different curses from the boys. My heart is beating so wild. Tomorrow's the distribution of cards and I'm super scared of my grades right now. I literally feel like I failed one of my subjects which is the 21st Century because I know I messed up during the exam.

"Congratulations in advance Keila!" Zoe, my classmate, said.

"Oo nga. Alam naman namin na top ka ulit so congrats!"

"Congrats Keila!" the boys shouted in unison.

I just smiled at them and said my thanks. I'm happy that they acknowledge me. But right now, I really feel like I failed 21st Century.

My mom wants my grade to be always in line of 9. And ever nagka line of 8 ako sa 21st Century, I don't know what to do. Pwede ko rin namang sabihin sa kanila na sadyang mahirap lang talaga yung exam. Lahat din naman kami nahirapan. Sino ba kasing mag-aakala na ganon yung questions? Literal na halos wala lahat doon ang pinag-aralan namin.

"Keila. Mauna na ako ha? May lakad pa kasi ako." paalam sakin ni Rylle.

"Sure. Sa kambal nalang ako sasabay."

She left after that. Inayos ko muna ang gamit ko at nang makita ko ang kambal sa labas ng room namin, agad na akong lumabas.

My classmate were eyeing me kasi and I can hear their whispers.

"Omg. Kambal yan diba? Ang gwapo naman."

"May mga kaibigan palang gwapo si Keila. Hindi man lang niya sinabi sakin."

"Oy. Gwapo yung may nunal sa baba."

"Mas gwapo yung isa."

"You heard that?" I asked the both of them nang nasa harapan na nila ako. They both smiled at me and Erwin even have the guts to look at my classmates and wave at them.

"Normal lang yan Keila. Gwapo kasi namin."

Buti nalang at may lovelife na 'to si Ervin.

Habang naglalakad, napansin ko na wala si Tin at Keith. Nasaan ba yun? Siguro may activities ulit silang ginagawa since classmates naman sila.

"Congrats Keila."

"Oo nga. Congrats Keila. Libre na naman ba ulit?"

"Sira." I said and look in front of me. "Why are you congratulating me, anyway? Atsaka, I still have to brace myself for tomorrow kasi baka papagalitan ako ni papa."

"Bakit?" tanong ni Erwin. As I look at him, I noticed na nakaka-attract pala sa kanya yung nunal niya sa baba. I also like his features. May pagka moreno siya and I like his eyebrows. Makapal kasi ito. Unlike Ervin na walang nunal sa baba at di masyadong makapal ang eyebrows niya.

Well, the twins' beauty is somewhat attractive. To the other girls, of course. Bakit nga wala pa itong girlfriend si Erwin? I'm sure girls would flock at him. Or maybe he's not really into relationships right now. Or maybe he's still looking for someone, someone he truly loves.

That's kinda... weird.

"I kinda failed my exam at 21st Century."

Nakatingin lang sila sa akin. They looked at me with worried face, not with pity. And that's what I also like about them.
