The intramurals ended with us winning the second place. It was both fun and enlightening activity that allowed me to get to know a lot of people and have pleasant memories with them.
I both gained new friends from all grades and learned new things along the way. I was able to work on managing my leadership skills and keeping myself together when things doesn't seem to go my way.
Me and Treize are on the stage of getting to know each other and spending some time to learn about both the usual and important things in our life. But sometimes, there are obstacles that may try to keep you apart.
During the intramurals, me and Treize were from different teams that is why we don't get to spend much time together anymore. We spend more time with our respective teams that it actually becomes a problem especially when someone else gets close to us. Just like what happened with my team leader and he is also getting closer to a second year student which was also a sub leader like me.
Before agreeing on getting to know each other, I made him promise that we have to keep it a secret that we are getting along with being lovers as the objective because the school prohibits students to be in a relationship in high school especially since we are still first year students. We still have a long way in school and being expelled is not on my agenda. As such, keeping things secret is a must. But that also became one of the things that causes misunderstanding because if people does not know you are getting along with someone, others won't stop approaching you for the thought that you are still available. But since it was a secret, so people would think that both of us does not have someone in our hearts.
One time, In one of our disagreements, I opened the issue of him being so close to a girl.
I did not start the conversation but it led to that because at first he said,"Do you have feelings for your team leader, huh? Why do you have to be together for a damn long time discussing things about the team. We don't even take that long in our team."
So I said,"Of course you wouldn't because you are far too busy entertaining your sub-leader to think of the time. "
"Don't push the blame in me okay?! As far as I know, it is just your jealousy talking right now."
"Why would I get jealous huh?! I don't get jealous, never was and never will in the future."
But he was suddenly smiling that it was so irritating. That smile was just so annoying and his expression made me laugh so our quarrel suddenly became light after that episode.
That was just one of the things that made the significant part of my year. After the intramurals, an important part of every student happens and that is---- the exam. Our exam is about to be held two weeks from now and so when I went to school, I can see a lot of students holding books or notebooks and reviewing their lessons but there are also others who do not care much like some of my classmates and most of them are boys.
Before the exam, teachers also give us projects we have to submit so that we will be eligible to take the exams and we will also be graded from it. And with the exams near, there are a lot of my classmates who ask questions about the topics we've had because they know that I am the most intelligent in our class. As a kind person, I helped them most of the time and when the situation allows it. It also helped in making them think of me as kind and approachable.
Then the exam started. The exam was successful and we are able to finish it. But a problem arose when the teacher asked us to pass our papers and let us all line up outside our classroom. I was not worried because I know in myself I did nothing wrong so I just waited like the rest of my classmates was. After the teacher finished what she was doing inside the classroom and found a cheat paper by one of the students. She said that someone tipped her but we were not able to see who it was and know who it was because they did not reveal it. They just gave a warning and said that they would let that student to retake the exam and would get a demerit.
It was one of the notable things that happened at that time. Few months passed by just like that and it is finally the announcement of the honor roll. And our adviser has listed the top ten of the class in the bulletin board in our class and school. It was of no surprise that I came first out of 58 students in our grade.
In the flag ceremony the next day, we were called one by one from top ten to top one and go to the stage. All grade levels' top ten went in the stage when their name was called and students have a round of applause to every student whose name was called. It was an event that put the well-performing students at the front stage and be known by all students.
With this, more students finally knows that I am not just a pretty face but I am also smart. A total package of you say so.
And so the year went by just like that and all the students got to know each other and became familiar with the school and other students from other grade levels. It became a bridge that connects people and fostered intergrade friendships. What was good was that my circle of friends became wider and I got to know Treize better. We spent our time together secretly after the intramurals and got to know our likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. Spending time with him made me fall for him again eventhough I promised myself not to before. But that is just it, you can't chose who you love, you can't force it and you can't prevent it. It's an natural course in life and love is every bit a part of living. Just like what I read in a book once, "All is fair in love and war, And if for love we go to war, we are the greatest winners by far, because it in life we go not seeking love, we've lost the fight even before it had begun. "
That is what love is for me. It is natural part of life and we chose what happens to that love and we steer it the way we want it to end, whether it becomes one sided, a secret, or would you take the risk to know the result of a confession even if it there's a fifty percent chance that you'll get heartache or happiness at the end of it. Well, that is the beauty of life, never really knowing the future, it makes life exciting, make you curious because it had mystery in it.
