The Jerk Is Our Class President

Chapter 50

Official

"You can start answering now." anunsyo ni Dean na nakapagpatahimik sa lahat. Inilibot ko ang tingin ko at nakita kong kanya kanyang hawak na sa ballpen ang mga kaklase ko habang 'yong iba ay nakakunot pa ang noo. Napahawak naman ako sa dibdib ko dahil sa lahat ng exams na ti-nake ko sa buong buhay ko, hindi ko alam kung bakit dito ako pinaka kinabahan.

I heaved a deep breath first before looking at the questionnaire given. 100 items ito at tungkol sa halo halong subject. Other questions are quite confusing pero sana ay masagot ko ito ng tama.

Napatigil ako sa pagsasagot sa item number 13 dahil nalilito ako kung ano yung isasagot ko. Napatingin ako sa unahan. I saw Andrew looking at me. What is he doing?

"Mr. Forde eyes infront!" suway sa kanya ni Dean. Our seats are arrange alphabetically at una 'yong boys.

I don't know the reason why he is giving me that kind of worried stares now that we're in the middle of our exam.

May problema kaya siya?

Or is it about what happened last night? Bigla tuloy akong na-guilty. Jose was right. As long as pinapatagal ko 'yong pagpili, I'll keep on hurting him.

Bagamat gusto ko nang magtanong, pinilit ko munang pansamantalang walain 'yon sa isipan at nagfocus na lang sa ginagawa ko.

We're just given 1 and a half hour to answer. Napainat ako dahil sa matinding pangangalay. I look at our wallclock hanggang sa tumayo na si Kenrylle. He finished answering the exam in just a short span of time. Samantalang ako ay hindi pa rin nangangalahati. Ramdam ko na 'yong pananakit ng ulo ko dahil naghahalo halo na.

I saw hin glanced at me and smiled. I guess he's trying to cheer me up even if I'm not used to it. I don't know if my answers are correct. I'm sure about the other items pero mas madami pa rin ang hindi ko sigurado.

I'll just pray and pray after this even if passing this exam was too impossible.

"Pass your papers forward." Dean Morrison announced. I look at my classmates. Narinig ko pa na may bumulong na hindi daw sila natapos. I sigh in relief as I put my ballpen down.

"You'll know the results right after the machine checks your paper." Dugtong niya pa bago ito lumabas ng room. I just decided to get my bag bago ako lumabas. Gusto ko kasing isipin kung may nakaligtaan ba akong sagot kanina.

"Teh, ang hirap! Nakakaistress ng bangs!" rinig kong reklamo ni Jose na wala akong kaalam alam na nasa tabi ko na pala.

Hindi ko alam kung ano 'yong sasabihin ko dahil halos matulala ako sa nakakahilong exams na nangyari.

"Valderama, someone is calling you inside." wika ni Kenrylle.

"The who Mr. President?" kunot noong tanong ni Jose.

"I don't have the damn time to identify who's damn interested with you so better check it yourself." masungit na wika ng aming class president.

Umikot tuloy ang mata ni Jose bago siya nilampasan.

Nang marealize kong kami na lang dalawa 'yong naiwan dito sa labas ay umakyat na naman yung kaba sa dibdib ko. I remember what he told me the last time. I don't know if he's just kidding or like the usual, playing pranks on me again.

Habang naglalakad kami ay naramdaman kong hinawakan niya yung kamay ko. PDA is not allowed in the campus at hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kapag nahuli kami lalo pa't panay tingin ang ibang estudyante sa amin.

"Don't stress yourself. The most important thing is, you did your best earlier." napalunok naman ako dahil sa sinabi niya. I just can't believe it! Kenrylle is never been like this.
