Valerie and Aria looked at Dawn with worry.
Those people really were insensitive and bold to actually gossip about the person without caring if they were overheard. In fact it even seemed like they said it out loud on purpose.
Dawn wasn’t surprised anymore that there were people who talked bad about her. Even if those were not her actions, she couldn’t help but be frustrated about it. She had thought about saying something back to them. But she knew she would lose the argument because even the girl’s memories confirmed their words.
The only thing she could do is to be herself. She didn’t have to care about their opinions. She was confident that with time, they would realize that even someone like her could become a better version of themselves. If the
Chirp! Chirp!The sound of the birds greeted Dawn as she opened her eyes to the Saturday morning.It was slightly chilly as the morning air entered her room through the gaps of jalousie windows.She stretched out her limbs like a feline and climbed out of bed.She headed to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, washing away the last bits of drowsiness.Opening her closet, she picked out a stretchy shirt and loose pants, changing into them. Tying her hair in a high ponytail, she left the house, closing the gate behind her.The sky hasn’t fully brightened yet. She took this chance
She thought more about it in her private time.She realized that being in school was like having a full-time job. She would be too slow in finishing her book now that she also has to do homework, study the textbooks and head to school where she barely has the opportunity to write a few paragraphs of her book.If she couldn’t produce a few more books then how would she be able to earn enough.Although she was never told to find a way to make money, she still couldn’t brush away the fact that their resources were limited.And if that’s the case, then how would she be able to check up on her real family?Dawn pushed the matter to the side for
The class went smoothly with no interruptions from the students. The ones who really benefited from this other than Cyrus Montecillo and the honor roll students, were the average and below average students.Since they didn’t dare to chat, make noises or sleep during the teacher’s class, their attention was on the teacher the whole time. They were afraid of being called out to answer and that they would be humiliated if they couldn’t answer. That is why they tried to absorb the lesson as much as they could.Suddenly, Cyrus decided to quiz them through a game.“I will say the name of the country and you will say the name of its capital city.” Cyrus instructed.The students quickly opened
All eyes were on them as Freya’s voice echoed within the confines of the conference room. After recognizing Freya, their curiosity as to who offended her followed. Then they saw Dawn and Aria. Aria already had her brows knitted, eyes glaring and lips pursed whereas Dawn had a deadpan look. Freya on the other hand had her arms crossed, chin up, looking arrogant while Hugo attempted to cover his face now that more and more students are looking their way. “Freya, come on. Just stop it already.” He muttered. “What’s going on?” A woman’s voice interrupted them.
When The Plume’s meeting finished, the students dispersed.It was harder to catch a ride now with their designated auto rickshaw having already left to take their other friends home and was now going around the city bringing other people from one location to the next.Right now, the auto rickshaws and tricycles were already being hailed by the other students.“Let’s go walk to the highway.” She told Aria.“Alright.” The latter nodded.They had to wait
Two weeks later, the students were busy skimming their books and notes at the last minute before the teacher would finally call for them to put it away.“At the count of 5, everyone should put away their things and only leave a pen on their arm rest.”The students got up and placed all of their bags at the back of the room and went back to their seats. Some were twirling their pens, drumming it against the arm rest and even biting on it in anxiety. While there were some who were making eye signals and hand signals to others, already planning on their cheating method.They were seated one seat apart. Some of them were already seated outside of the room.Dawn sat outside along with some of her classmates s
After recess, the students once again went back to their classrooms and resumed their exams.At that moment, the students didn’t dare to even review one last time since a classmate told them he had spotted Cyrus walking toward their room.Everyone was now seated and keeping silent.Dawn looked out to the campus from where she sat. Her chin rested on her clenched fist as her elbow rested against the armrest.When Cyrus arrived, he saw the students who were seated outside of the room. As he neared, he saw Dawn’s side profile. His brows knitted together, his lips pursed. He couldn’t explain what he was feeling at that moment.‘Cyrus
“How were your exams?” Tara asked her as they were having lunch. “Not bad..” A faint smile hung on her lips. Tara narrowed her eyes on her younger sister. “I’ve heard some things..” Dawn looked up. “Oh? What’s it about?” “That you’ve been serving perfect scores since the school year started.” She also found this unbelievable. But the one who told her this was her friend who is a teacher in Trinity Institute, Susana Cervantes. This was the first time Susana told her something like this. Before it was just to express worry over Dawn’s grades. “Ah.. I guess.” She replied nonchalantly. “I still
