Chapter 94 - 94: Evaluation Exam Results I (1/2)

(Michelle POV)

Inside my car, I looked at my phone again. Should I text Anthony a good morning message? Like there's nothing bad about it right? Friends greet each other good morning. Maybe he would even like it! With some newfound confidence, I unlocked my phone and opened write a new message.

Wait, how should I greet him? Should I write, 'good morning my love?' Or 'I wish it's your face I see when I wake up in the morning?' Hahaha!!!! Ok, serious now.

Oh! I can just send him a quote! Why haven't I thought of that earlier!? It's the 'in' thing this timeline!!!!! I looked at old messages in my phone only to see that I have no message like that saved, or anything more appropriate. Ok, never mind.

[Good morning, Anthony! Hope that today will be a great day for you! See you in class!] Then, I pressed send.

Until I arrived at school, no reply came. Ugh, maybe he's still asleep.

Anyhow, my first class was Math 11, taking my seat, I heard my blockmates talking about the evaluation exam.

”I'm so nervous. Will our prof give back our exam results today?” I heard Janina say.

”Me too. I hope I did well. I don't want to go to Math 10! Imagine, a semester taking a basic subject before being able to take this class so that you can move to Math 19! Would that cause a delay in our studies?” Joanie replied.

Hearing their concerns, I could not help but think of the simple mindedness of life as a student. When I was at their age, I also thought about grades all the time. Failing, getting delayed from graduating, or worse, getting expelled because of not meeting the quota were my main concerns.

I must confess there was also getting a boyfriend, Anthony Ren preferably. I smiled thinking of Anthony. Ah, I like him so much and later we will see each other!

”Michelle, you look so relaxed, seems like you did well in this exam.” Camille commented.

I shook my head, ”Not really, it's just that I think that worrying won't change the results.”

Angie scoffed. Then, she said loudly to Janina. ”Some people don't come to school to study but to get a boyfriend. Don't know how they were qualified to enroll in this university. Then again, perhaps it's through connections, OR maybe they did something unimaginable like using their body?” Then she laughed as she looked at me.

Huh? Was she referring to me? What's this bitch's problem? I was just sitting here minding my own business. Was she jealous that I'm better looking? Ah, these kids. I should not stoop to their level. It was, after all, kinda true that I am here looking for a boyfriend, Anthony hahaha! Anyway, I chose to ignore her taunt. If it were the me of the past, I would have been offended as to confront her. Now, it just seemed stupid to me. So, I just sat quietly while the rest of the people in the room looked at Angie then at me.

”Some people are just jealous that they don't know what they're saying. How shameless.” Camille suddenly said out loud.

Wait, was she angry and trying to kinda defend me? Did I look pitiful like I was bullied instead? But really, no need to make an enemy so early in college.

”Oh, there are also people who come to school trying to win favor from those who came from better families. Like those scholars from somewhere out there.” Angie said while giggling with her friends.

Camille turned red. I looked at her, and I was reminded that she came to school as a scholar. Angie was a bit much. How did she end up as a politician's wife in the future? Then again, being one also needed this kind of attitude somewhat.

Ugh. Should I say anything? But I don't really know what to say. This is all too childish for me now. Thankfully, before any word could continue to be exchanged, our professor came in.

”Good morning, everyone. Today, I have your exam results here with me. Note that the first 4 people who will receive their paper got the highest grades while the rest are not arranged.”

Everyone looked at her in expectation. I also felt a bit nervous. I can't remember the score I got in the past, but I knew I passed. I may not be that good with other subjects, but Math and Economics were my strengths.

”With a perfect score, please receive your paper, Ms. Camille Chen.”

Camille stood from her sit beside me and received her paper. In the midst of my classmates clapping their hands for her, I heard Angie's voice saying, nerd. What a child.
