The Show

Antares

I opened the door to our classroom and I was greeted by the loud chatters and laughter of my classmates.

'hindi ba sila nababahala na may test kami ngayon? Tsk not my fault if they end up being kicked out in the school'

I closed the door and quietly walk to my seat.

I wouldn't want to gain their useless attentions.

I read my science book while waiting for our adviser.

In just a couple of minutes narinig kong bumukas ang pinto at nag-si-upuan na ang aking mga classmates,

I closed my book and put it in my bag.

"Good morning students, I hope that you all studied cause you know what will happen to you if your grades aren't high,' our adviser starts to hand us our test paper.

"Remember no cheating cause once you are caught you'll be exempted for 3 whole weeks, Ok?" Once our test papers are handed we started answering.

"By the way you guys only have 1 hour to finish it, good luck." I heard our adviser sat in her chair and watched us.

' now the only thing I need is to wait for the show to start'

Tumayo ang aming adivers at pumunta sa water dispenser para uminom ng tubig,

"Miss Jana! Avi is cheating!!" As expected,

Our adviser look at Avi and Jasmine.

Avi stand up and look at Miss Jana.

"I wasn't cheating Miss Jana I swear." If you heard it closely you can hear her voice quavering, her body is trembling, she deliberately look at at Miss Jana's eye and her eyes look from the left side.

Well she's lying, It's obvious.

Her voice is quavering and her body is Trembling dew too nervousness,

she only deliberately look at Miss Jana's eye which meant she's trying to make her lie sincere,

She look at her left which meant she's Constructing another lie.

'If I was her I wouldn't have shown any signs that I'm lying.'

"No! I saw you cheat don't you dare lie!!" Jasmine pointed at her accusingly and looking at Avi in Anger.

"I already told you I didn't cheat." Her voice pitch is way higher and she's talking slowly this time, another indication that she's lying.

"Miss Jamine and Miss Avi stop!!" Tumigil agad ang dalawa at napayuko nalang.

"Now, Miss Avi I want you to answer me honestly. Did you cheat?" Miss Jana look at Avi intently with a serious yet calm face.

Avi looked away and then looked at Miss Jana, she's trying to hide the guilt in her eyes and I'm sure she's struggling.

"I didn't Miss Jana, I didn't..." Avi gulped trying to ease the lump in her throat maybe,

"Cheat."

Jasmine look up furiously,

"You didn't!! Then what's that paper I saw you reading!!" I guess that's my cue.

"It's a letter." Avi answered well of course if you said it was nothing it will only raise their suspicions even more,

I walk towards Avi and stand besides her.

  "Avi didn't cheat Miss Jana, I'll assure you that cause the paper she was reading was a letter from me." My classmate who was silent the whole time started to murmur.

"Magsi-tahimik kayo!" Miss Jana look at me dead in the eye.

"Well then if Miss Antares is saying the truth you, you wouldn't mind showing us the letter Miss Avi?" Kinuha ni Avi ang ang papel sa kanyang pocket at ibinigay ito kay Miss Jana.

I look at Jasmine and she was smiling triumphantly, like she knows she's already won.

Well she's wrong.

Miss Jana opened the letter and read the contents.

"Hey Avi, thank you pala sa pagsagot sa mga tanong ko sayo noong gabi kahit alam kong sobrang busy ka kaya gusto ko sanang humingi ng paumanhin at kung ok lang sana gusto sana kitang i-libre ng pagkain bilang thank you, kita nalang tayo sa canteen, and how can this letter be a cheat paper Miss Jasmine??" Miss Jana look at Jasmine sharply.

"B-but I--"

"Miss Jasmine I want you to leave, I do not tolerate this kind of behavior, I know you and Miss Avi are enemies but if you'd taken it all to personally. I want you to get out of my class and never come back!! If only you acted a little bit professional." Umalis agad si Jasmine sa Classroom.

  "Poor thing...ohw well never mind she's just one of my dischargeable pawns."

"Continue answering your test papers now." My classmates started to answer their test papers again, I started to walk when Avi grab my elbow gently.

I look at her,

"Thank you---" I cut her off,

"Let's talk at the cafeteria." She let me go and nob.

I walk towards my seat and started answering my test papers.

After an hour or 3 we finished our morning test.

The test was brain wrecking but I guess I'm fine.

Niligpit kona lahat ng gamit ko sa aking bag,

Someone tapped my shoulders tinignan ko kung sino at si Avi pala yon.

"Let's go?" She smiled at me and I just answered her with a nod.

Our classmates where looking at us curiously,

Can't blame them tho cause it's my first time hanging out with someone.

Habang naglalakad kami may mga taong kumakaway saamin or should I say kay Avi, she's famous after all.

Pagkadating namin sa cafeteria bumungad saamin ang mga maslraming studyante, This is one of the reason why I'd rather brought my own lunch.

The whole place is field with noise.

"Ako nalang kukuha ng pag-kain at ikaw nalang maghahanap ng upuan natin, by the way ano bang gusto mo?" I look at Avi.

"Beef Steak and a dark chocolate drink, here's the money." I handed her the money but she didn't take it, I look at her with furrowed eyebrows.

"Ako nalang magbabayad, I insist." I put my money back on my pocket and nob.

We parted ways,

I looked for seats and I found one at the back.

"Perfect."

Umupo ako doon at inilapag ang aking backpack sa aking likuran.

In just a couple of minutes dumating narin si Avi.

Inilapag niya ang mga pag-kain at umupo narin siya.

I was about to eat my food when she started talking.

"Antares thank you so much if it wasn't you I would have been a goner... The Truth about me cheating is because I was to pressured and I hope you understand and I'm deeply sorry cause I made you carry a burden." I look at her and she was looking down.

I already know that her parents are pressuring her cause if I didn't my plan wouldn't have work.

"I understand your situation and it's ok." I fake a smile.

She looked at me and her eyes are gleaming in happiness and she stand up,

"Is there anyway that I can help you?? I'll do anything." She took both of my hands and held it.

"I don't really want to bother you but I do have something." I looked down acting shy.

"Ohw come on just say it." I looked up and what I said shocked her.
