Rest
"Miss Aguilar..."
I lifted my gaze when Mrs. Dumrigue called my surname. Agad na napunta halos lahat ng mga mata sa akin. I sighed. Tangina, bagsak na naman.
I didn't say any word. Nakaangat lang ang tingin ko at halos ngumisi pa.
Result ko na lang ang hinihintay. Lahat pasado sa quiz. They are all happy. Tanging papel ko na lang ang hawak ni Mrs. Dumrigue. And as their expected, I will fail the test... again. Just like what I usually get, the lowest score.
Our instructor shook her head. Handling me the paper. Tumayo ako.
"You passed the test."
I halted a bit. Napakurap ako. Everyone gasped. Ngumusi no'ng may napagtanto. Huh, they are not expecting me to pass? Oh well, I didn't expect it, either.
Kinuha ko ang papel. 76/100. Not bad. Lagpas lang ng isa sa passing score. Lowest pa rin pero pasado.
Somehow, my score lifted my mood. Nakangisi ako buong maghapon. My classmates would see me weird but I don't care. Sino ba sila?
Pumasok ako sa library dala ang librong pinahiram sa akin ng lalaki. Ang sabi niya, dapat basahin ko ito para mas maintindihan lahat ng discussion. Sabi niya lang pero hindi ko alam kung totoo. Malalaman ko ito ngayon.
I pushed to open the door of the library. Most students gaze on my way. Nakataas ang kilay kaya gano'n din ang ginawa ko. Oh, bakit? Kayo lang ba ang may karapatan sa aircon dito? Ako din, uy, 'wag kayo.
I roamed around my eyes to look for a available sit. No'ng may nakita sa gilid, do'n ako naglakad papalapit pagkatapos maglog in.
May kung sino nang nakaupo do'n pero hindi ko pinansin. He was wearing earbuds while reading his thick book. Napangiwi ako.
Umupo ako sa harap. He didn't looked up and that was a good thing for me. Nilapag ko ang ilang gamit sabay kuha ng lapis mula sa bag. I plugged in my earbuds but I didn't play music. Sadyang nilagay ko lang dahil trip ko.
I started scanning the book. When I said scanning, I just literally scan the book. Tang ina, sumasakit ang ulo ko dito. Wala akong ma-gets.
From my peripheral vision, I saw the man in front lifted his gaze. Napatingin sa gawi ko at sa librong hawak ko.
I tilted my head and read some. Kumunot ang noo ko, magkasalubong na din ang kilay.
Someone chuckled. "Cute..."
Cute? Sinong cute? Tang ina, may cute ba sa librong architecture? Ewan ko lang, huh.
I continued doing that. Gano'n pa rin ang ginagawa ng lalaking nasa harapan ko. Nagbabasa habang paminsan-minsang nag-angat ng tingin at tatawa.
