Chapter 32

Zenica Alameda:
Sent a file.
Here's my part.

Caleb Maravilla:
Ang bilis!
Sandali! Hindi pa ako tapos.

Lael Jaxtyn Lozoya:
Thank you, Zen. :)

I stared at his reply and sighed as I rested my head on my study table. I pulled an all-nighter just to finish my part immediately in the hopes of having a conversation with Lael. But I realized that I could send the file in our group chat rather than sending a private message after I finally finished it.

Sinabi n'ya ring sa group chat magko-communicate ang buong grupo.

Napamura ako sa naisip at na-realize na talagang ginawa ko nang mag-isa ang paper at walang tulong ng iba para lang kay Lael. I must've gone mad. When did I have the skill to do that? Hirap na hirap akong makatapos ng essay noon dahil kailangan pang mag-research pero ngayon, parang ang dali-daling maghanap ng sources at bumuo ng mga ideas. 

For Pete's sake... I even reached a word count I didn't expect I could reach.

I picked my phone up again to type a reply.

Zenica Alameda:
If there are parts that need improvement, just tell me.

Lael Jaxtyn Lozoya:
I will. Salamat, Zenica. :)

Ask me a question! I frustratedly ranted inside my mind. Hinihiniling ko na kahit kaunting grammatical error, may ipatama s'ya para mag-usap naman kaming dalawa. I shouldn't have made sure that the paper I passed was spotless. Sa kagustuhan kong magpa-impress, sinigurado kong walang dungis ang parte ko.

Days passed by uneventful. Dumaan ang pasko at bagong taon na s'ya pa rin ang bumabagabag sa isipan ko. 

I tried to greet him during Christmas... Nagawa ko naman pero nang binati n'ya ako pabalik, hindi na ako nag-reply pa. Kahit nang magbagong taon, binati ko s'ya pero nang binati n'ya ako pabalik, hindi na ako sumagot pa. 

My family and I went overseas for Christmas and New Year. Bumalik lang kami, isang araw bago ang simula ulit ng pasukan.

I thought that the school works will be lighter at the start of the year pero dahil graduating kami, umpisa na 'yon ng lahat ng bigat ng gawain sa school.

We needed to fix our papers, finish our research, and prepare for different upcoming events; mainly the highschool promenade.

Nanginig ang ngisi ko nang tawagin ng teacher namin ang pangalan ko para sa mga isasali sa cotillion. 

For crying out loud! Why did they even consider me? Ni hindi ako nagpa-participate sa contests ng school o kahit anong class performance.

Nakakuyom na ang mga kamay ko sa ibabaw ng desk, nakatingin sa teacher namin nang diretso habang nakalingon naman sa akin ang mga kaklase ko dahil sa maikling reklamo ko kanina dahil isinali ako ro'n.

Nakita ko ang panginginig ng balikat ni Ynna dahil sa pinipigilang tawa. This witch better stay silent or I'll make sure she participates in the event too.

"Severiano requested. He won't join if you won't be part of it," our teacher said and my cheeks heated up with embarrassment.

Ang unggoy na 'yon!

"May plus ito sa grade mo kaya sumali ka na," she said.

As if I'm after the plus! Kailan pa ako naging grade conscious?
