“After that, you solve for the square root. Positive or negative. Finalize then… it’s done!”

Studying while eating junk foods.

Eat.

“And up next, we have a song from an American singer, Demi Lovato, ent.i.tled ‘All Night Long’. This song is brought to you by Tooth toothpaste.”

The electronic instrument that started the song made me realize that I’m gonna be doing just like what the t.i.tle says, only for a different reason.

STUPID!

I should prioritize my projects instead of finding the one who dedicated the song for me on the radio.

Another entry!

Goodbye x and y.

h.e.l.lo Account t.i.tles.

Isn’t it amazing that we are still in high school but we are already doing bookkeeping.(*note the sarcasm)

[TL’S NOTE: I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE FEELS∼. DURING MY HIGH SCHOOL WE ALSO HAVE BASIC ACCOUNTING IN THE CURRICULUM. NOTE THAT WE HAVE THE OLD EDUCATION SYSTEM OF THE PH AT THAT TIME.]

“August 3. Sent a bill to Jones Smith for rendered service, ₱ 5,000”. Then I drank the juice.

“Debit, Notes Receivable, ₱5,000. Credit, Service Income, ₱5,000. To record service for Jones Smith with note.”

“The song was also brought to you by Duty Free, with Duty Free, you’re free of your duty.”

The song ended without me noticing it. So fast.

I arranged my things for tomorrow. Then I went back to bookkeeping.

“Paid salary for workers, ₱6,500.”

By this time, my vision is already blurry.

Brain! Please cooperate. This is the only overnight that I had together with the notebook.

****

“Mister, stop please!” I shouted to the driver of the jeep.

My brain is really trolled. The alarm clock was ringing five times but I was still asleep.

I dash towards the cla.s.sroom. Oh, Flas.h.!.+ I’ll borrow your superpowers for only a moment.

Wussshhh!

“Please let me copy your a.s.signment. Even if it’s only questions 12-15.” I beg my cla.s.smate.

“I don’t want to. Ma’am will scold me if I do that.”

Then no. Tcchhh.

“Hey, Dex, let me copy your a.s.signment!” With matching puppy face.

“Eh. Answer it yourself.”

Spell hopeless!

“Wow, just wow! When you are the one asking, she let you copy, but when it comes to her, no one even bothered.”

I turned to see who said it.

This person was sick once again. It began when the school year started.

“Lawrence, are you going to die? Why are you kind again, it seems there’s an angel who whispered that your due date is near.” Dex said.

My cla.s.s laugh.

Come to think of it, he always bullied me last school year, like he was possessed by Osama Bin Laden.

But now, he is always helping me.

“Here, copy it. I’m sorry if I have a wrong answer, at least I have an answer right?” ^_^ I smiled at what he said.

I stand up. I touch his cheeks with my two hands. I look at his face left and right.

“There is no injury.” I said wondering while my hands is on his face.

“O_o What injury?” He said, shocked at my actions.

“I don’t know. I am wondering if you are hit by a truck or your head b.u.mps at something hard that’s why you become kind.”

He removes my hands on his face.

“Crazy! You’re the one whose face looks like a jeep has pa.s.sed by it again and again.”

“Arrogant.” This is what I am looking for. His crazy side.

We laughed.

I copied the a.s.signment that I did not finish because of my FRENEMY Brain.

“Seriously, why are you kind today? No. Since the school started?” A little more and my a.s.signment will be finished, I hope Ma’am will not come yet.

“Because-“

“Good morning Ma’am Yakuzawa.” We stand up and at the same time I give his a.s.signment back to Lawrence.

****

The cla.s.s ended. It’snow free period.

I can roam inside the campus. The view at the top of the bleachers in the soccer field is beautiful.

I’m always here.

Library? Noisy.

Room? More noisy.

Here? Its not that noisy.

Could it be you’re not that far? ♪

This song mainly talks about finding someone. Which also applies to my situation right now.

♪ You’re the voice I hear inside my head

The reason that I’m singing

I need to find you, Gotta find you

You’re the missing piece

I need the song inside of me
