Chapter 9
Rain's POV
It's 5:00 in the morning and I'm currently on my way to school with my younger sister. Luckily for us, our Barangay provided a service every morning so we don't have to walk and we can save our money for later.
The only problem is I need to wake up very early to prepare because if I don't, both of us will be late. Sally doesn't wake up on her own and she moves so slow that's why I have to wake up first then, I'll take a bath and after that, I'll wake her up so she can take a bath too while I continue readying myself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After 15 minutes, I arrive at the school.
"Thank you for the ride." I smiled at the driver and he nodded at me
I'm the last one he dropped off because our building is different from my sister's. She's in Junior High while I'm in Senior High.
I walk straight to the gate and the guard opened it for me.
"Good morning and thank you" I greeted the guard
"You're early." He said
I just smiled and continued walking. From afar, I see that the rooms are still empty judging by the darkness from each floor. CREEPY!
As I reached our floor, I immediately opened the lights and then I went inside our room then sat on my seat. I placed my bag on the arm rest and viola, a makeshift pillow (-‿◦) Since I wake up very early and no one's around yet, I'll be taking a nap.
Hmmm... I can here the readers' dissatisfaction. Why, you think that I should take this opportunity to get homeworks done or to review? First of all, you don't have the right to judge me and I know some of you already did or are doing this. Second, I don't have any homeworks. My teachers are kind sometimes and this is one of that times so they didn't give us any and as for reviewing, you know the words "stock knowledge"? I'm very close to those words and I think the author too. (∩_∩)
(A-nim: Hey Rain, I'm behave here, don't include me)
Omo, in denial hahahahahahaha! Authornim, don't be shy, it's just us. Anyway, I explained myself so that's it. I want to sleep now it's better to sleep now than later when my teachers are already teaching, right? (-‿◦)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's currently our vacant and each of us are caught in our own worlds. I'm currently taking down notes from the picture taken by seatmate.
Picture? Of course, our country is developing and gadgets are in use. Our teachers let us take pictures of the powerpoints so the lesson can move forwards smoothly.
As I'm writing, my mind went back to my dream last night. It's kinda blurry and I can't remember the guy's face even he's name. I keep on trying to remember but to no avail. Ugh, I hate it!
"Hey!" Dam waved her hands in front of me and I snap out from my reverie
"Sorry, what is it?" I asked apologetically
"I'm asking if you're finished with this part." She said, pointing on her phone's screen
"Oh, yeah, I'm done. Let's proceed to the next one."
She nodded and slide her finger on the screen.
We started to take notes again and I try to not let my mind wonder off again, instead, I pay my full attention in writing and understanding the lesson well.
By the time we finished, our next teacher comes in.
"Good morning, HUMSS!" Ms. Deli greeted us with her usual poker face
She's having a bad again, huh. I thought to myself
"Good morning, ma'am!" We greeted back
"So, for today, we'll learn about Greek Mythology..." She started
Oh, yes! One of my favorites!
"... I have here copies of Cupid and Psyche's story, it's one of the famous story there is." She added as she pull out papers from her bag
"President!" She called out
"Yes, ma'am?" Our class president asked
"Hand this to everyone, make sure all have their own copies." She ordered as she give the latter the papers
"Alright, ma'am." Our president said and started to distribute the copies
As soon as I get my copy, I didn't wait for further instructions and just started reading the story. I highlighted the important words, phrases and sentences there is. I'm in the middle part of the story when Ms. Deli started to speak again. I hate to stop what reading specially when I'm reaching the climax but what can I do, I need to listen.
"I assume everybody has their own copies. Now, I want you all to read carefully and analyze Cupid and Psyche's Story then, we'll have a quiz after that."
I continued reading where I left out a while back, marking important details I see. When I'm done, I reread everything again, making sure I fully understand what I just red.
Few minutes have passed and Ms. Deli ordered us to hide our copies and bring out a 1/2 lengthwise sheet of Yellow Paper. At the mention of 'Yellow Paper' the classroom is filled of voices saying "Do you have Yellow Paper, can I have one?", "Who have Yellow Paper, give me one.", "Hey, where friends right, give me a piece." or "That's 1 whole, cut it then give me the other half."
Ugh, seriously, can't you guys buy paper for yourself?
Ms. Deli started the quiz after everyone settled back down. She dictated the questions and we just have to write our answers on our paper. It's a peace of cake for me, I answered every single question smoothly. I didn't skip any numbers.
After the quiz, it's time for checking so we exchange papers with our seatmates. We can't check our own paper to prevent cheating. Ms. Deli dictated the right answers and we check if our seatmates have the right or wrong answer. When we finished checking, we give the papers to their rightful owner.
A complacent smile plastered my face as soon as I got my paper. Written hugely in red ink on the upper-right part of the paper is my score. It says 20/20, I perfected my quiz!
ᕙ('▿')ᕗ ᕙ('▿')ᕗ ᕙ('▿')ᕗ
What I did paid off, I'm so happy right now!
Ms. Deli gather everyone's quiz so she can record it. And right on time, the bell rang, indicating the end of her time. We bid her farewell and we take our lunch break.
