The room is very noisy as I entered. It was like our room became a concert hall. Even though I like the music they're playing, I can't keep it up with the beat. I'm not in the mood for I don't think I slept because of the unexpected thoughts last night.
Why didn't I go to bed early? I'm so tired and dizzy right now. I just sat on my chair and leaned on my desk to sleep a bit.
"Jane, wake up." I was overwhelmed by that voice. I slowly lifted when I saw Cheska and Zaine next to me. They smiled as I my vision became clear.
"Sorry."
"Jane, class's over. Let's go and eat." Cheska whispered so I stood up.
Recess?
"The teachers didn't came, let's use their time to review." I just nodded. Fortunately, the teachers did not notice me sleeping.
The 4th grading exam is coming up and our assignments are very hectic. Loaded outputs, projects and many activities are required to be passed. We no longer have time to review for the exam.
"After our exams and activities, we will move up." I could feel the excitement in Cheska's voice as she said that. We are going to the canteen today.
"Yeah," Zaine replied shortly.
I looked at Cheska. Did she say anything about her parents? She looks happy but it looks like something is wrong.
I was just shaken by the thought and greeted our companions when we reached the canteen. John and Ethan were there talking seriously while the others, I did not see them.
"Hey, where are the others?" Cheska asked as she sat down. I leaned over her while Zaine was on the other side of it. I was facing Ethan with a mischievous smile while the person he was talking to earlier, John just looked coldly at me.
He looked intimidating so I avoided his stares. Even with a beautiful complexion and with my his blue eyes, you can see its beauty as he stares at someone. I just don't know why he doesn't speak frequently with us.
Luke and Clifford arrived with Chelsea carrying food. They were probably the first to come here so they were the one to order for our food.
"John, how's your vacation last month?" Luke asked smiling as he sat down next to John. Clifford was next to him on the other side. Zaine and I help Chelsea in preparing the food they bought and put it on the middle of the table as she's smiling at us. "Your went vacation early, did you have a date on Valentines?"he adds.
"Fuck off!" Our companion said sparingly and coldly. Luke just laughed next to him.
We started eating while my companions and I were talking. We are full of laughter so sometimes, I just notice someone watching our direction..
"Sorry, I'm late." We looked at the person as he approached. He sat down next to me with a smile plastered on his face.
"We're Moving Up soon, guys. What are your plans for this vacation?" Nathan asked as he picked up the food in the middle.
"Yes, what's the plan?" said Clifford. I frowned. What's up? Ethan noticed that so he answered.
"Every vacation we go together for vacation, depending on who will volunteer."
I just nodded in response.
"Well, how about we ask Zaine. You have a rest house, right?" Luke turned to Zaine when he asked that. He just nodded in response. "We didn't go there before."
"It's fine with me." Zaine agrees.
"Game."
"We still have one month to prepare. Don't be excited Luke." Clifford blocked his friend.
"Just nothing left." Chelsea replied. Unconsciously, I looked at Cheska next to me. She just smiled and was quiet ever since. This is not her usual habit.
We had already finished our meals when the bell rang so we went back to the room.
I would have been with Chelsea and Cheska today in case they were called. They led me to the room.
I feel like being with them is much more comfortable than my friends before. It felt unrealistic that I want to be with. It's just like my imagination that when I get back to reality they will disappear.
It's been 2 months yet I feel attached to them. In that short time I found a friend, real friends I could lean on.
They're happy to be with and I'm comfortable with them. I am unfamiliar to most but not to them. I can't even ride their jokes but they don't make me feel that I'm out of place.
And that's what I'm grateful of.
I just smiled by the thought.
When I got to the room suddenly someone called me. "Jane!" She even gasped in front of me. "Someone is looking for you."
"Huh? Who is it?" I was suddenly nervous for no apparent reason. She motioned for me to leave the room. She was just walking towards a place I did not know.
"Wait, where are we going?" the woman who called me did not answer me. She just walked straight as if she had not heard my question.
I would have repeated my question when she stopped and looked at me from head to toe. I also stopped immediately.
"A rich woman who was popular student here before." That was her only answer that surprised me.
Will she not say the name?
We reached the office of our Math instructor Ms. Santos. What are we doing here?
My classmate opened it because I can't remember her name. I went in when I saw the woman behind me talking to our Math instructor.
A familiar woman was behind it that makes me more nervous.
"Oh, you're here, Jane." Ma'am mumbled when she saw me. It was only then that the woman with her looked at me and I stopped at her position.
I seem to have jumped on the stand when I realized this woman I am with.
"Mom."
