#PTG08 Chapter 08
The fuck.
"When you're done, pass your paper and you may go," Atty. Bustillo said pagdating na pagdating ko pa lang sa classroom. I was only late for three minutes, then this was what would welcome me?! I looked around only to see everyone starting to write on their yellow papers.
I rushed to my seat, and brought out my paper and pen. Mabilis akong tumingin sa harap. Seriously?!
Discuss the following cases:
1. Caltex v Palomar
2. Manila Lodge v CA
3. Torres v Limjap
4. Roa v Collector of Customs
Shit. Motherfreaking shit.
I stared at my paper, unable to write anything. May cases assigned ba?! Saan nanggaling ang mga 'to?! I tried to write something, but I really couldn't come up with anything! Halos maiyak ako habang pinapanood ko na maubos iyong oras.
Isa-isang nagsitayuan iyong mga classmates ko. Naunang magpasa si Maven. Then Iñigo. Then, I passed mine. Wala akong masagot. Ano pa ba ang gagawin ko?
Mabilis akong lumabas. Dumiretso ako sa CR. I went inside the cubicle to calm myself down. I tried to breathe to calm myself, but disappointment flowed through my vein.
"It's fine," I kept on reminding myself. "Bawi lang."
My heart was throbbing hard. I was never good at handling disappointments. I had a lot of expectations on myself. Even when the people around me were telling me that I had already achieved enough, deep inside me, I knew that those were never enough. Because I knew that I could do more...
But law school was shattering my confidence one day at a time.
I didn't know until when I could pretend that everything's fine.
"Shit, ano ba? Ang arte lang," I said to myself when I felt the tears falling down. Mabilis kong pinunasan isa-isa pero patuloy pa rin sila sa pagbuhos. Para akong tanga. It was futile to stop them because they just kept on falling.
They were unstoppable.
Like the disappointment I was feeling.
"Oh, my god. Sobrang helpful nung binigay! Same lahat nung cases na lumabas," a familiar voice said.
"Yeah. 'Di pala talaga nagbabago ng materials si Atty."
"Download mo na 'yung buong drive, then send it to me, please?"
"Sure, I'll send later. Pero may nakita ka ba 'dun na old quiz or exam from Crim? Sobrang deliks nung standing ko. Ang baba magbigay ni Sir."
The fuck? Did they know the items beforehand?
The disappointment I was feeling quickly vanished, and it was replaced by annoyance. Nagpapaka-hirap kaming mag-aral tapos nakakakuha sila ng free pass dahil alam na nila lahat nung items?!
I stepped forward para sumilip sa crevice. I saw my classmates. Iyong mga babae na mukhang palaging chill lang sa class pero nakaka-sagot kapag nagrerecit. Ugh! Kaya ba sobrang chill nila dahil alam na nila lahat?! Ang unfair!
Nang makaalis sila, hindi agad ako lumabas dahil baka kung ano ang masabi ko sa kanila. I didn't want to make enemies here. I just wanted to study and graduate. But this was bugging me! It's so annoying when you know you're working your ass off only to discover that some people have it easy.
