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
Dawn looked up and looked her in the eye.“Ah.. I didn’t mean to make fun of you. It’s just this was the first time I’ve heard of it from you.”“Hmm? I’m not mad. I was thinking. Do you want to be my beta reader?”“Ah?” She blinked up at Dawn.“Beta reader. I’ll let you read this and you give me feedback so I can fix some areas that need fixing.”“You’re serious?”“Yup.”Aria was silent fo
It was a Saturday and Dawn would usually use her weekends to write more chapters and review her lessons. But she had to take a break since she had already promised to attend a birthday party. Her mom had given her some extra money last week so she could buy a present. She chose a simple one. The city didn’t have that many options for that matter. She had already chosen what to wear for the party. It wasn’t a formal party so she only put on a yellow spongebob shirt, blue jeans that were folded at the seams and her white converse shoes. She then simply tied the top of her hair and loosely curled it. She picked up her gift bag and was ready to leave.
Nita opened the door leading to the backyard. “Kids, come on. It’s time to pray and start dinner.” “Let’s go, guys.” Giancarlo stood up and dusted off his pants. “Okay!” “Right on time.. My stomach’s growling already..” Dawn followed closely behind Melissa. When they came back inside, everyone was already off of their seats, ready for the prayer. “We are gathered here to celebrate Giancarlo’s birthday. First thing’s first, let’s pray.. In the name…” The priest began to lead them into prayer. Nita had invited the priest and his assistant since she serv
