Chapter 96 - 96: Evaluation Exam Result III (1/2)

(Michelle POV)

”Good afternoon, everyone. Here with me are the results of your evaluation exam. As I call your name, please come forward to receive your paper.” Our professor announced as she stood in front of our class.

My classmates all became silent, and I knew that everyone was nervous of the results. In truth, even I was nervous. This was the deciding factor if Anthony and I would still be classmates for the rest of the semester.

our professor started calling names until finally she called ”Mr. Anthony Ren.”

I sneaked a glance at Anthony who just stood up from his seat. He seems a bit nonchalant, and I think I was more nervous about his grade than he was.. Should I say something to him? Before I could decide, he already walked to the front to receive his paper.

When Anthony sat back down, and our eyes met. Perhaps understanding my curious gaze, he showed me his paper which was marked 60 and made a face where his lips were tilted down but his eyes were smiling.

I wanted to sympathize, but truth was, I couldn't be happier. Anyhow I mimicked his expression not knowing what to say. Then, after 2 more people our professor called my name, and I went to receive my paper.

I looked at it and my score of 74 glared at me. hehehe… Perfect. I walked back to my seat and sat down.

”How was it?” Anthony asked.

Then, I showed him my paper. Aren't you happy that we will still be classmates for the rest fo the semester!? Fantastic!

”Oof. Just a point away. That's gotta hurt.” he said as if he was feeling very bad for me.

I shook my head as I gave him a smile. ”It's fine, at least we'll still be classmates.”

Our conversation ended there as the professor called our attention as she congratulated the 3 people who passed and will be moving to the regular class. Then, she started discussing the correct answers to each question.

Anyway, everything my imagination told me to do to Anthony during class went out of the window seeing that he was seriously listening to our professor. Ah… I guess I should not disturb him. Don't want to be the cause of him completely failing this class.

When the class ended, Anthony stood up from his seat. Knowing that he has a class after, I called his attention to ask shyly, ”Anthony… uh… where's your next class?” What? I want to walk him there.

He smiled and answered, ”It's in bellarmine. How about you?”

”This is my last class for today, but on Wednesdays, I have Intact at 2:30.”

Anthony nodded, ”I see. Are you heading to the parking then?”

My heart! Will he walk me there instead? Gosh! I just thought of walking him to his class and here he was thinking the same thing. My campus romance dream is happening before my eyes!!!!! ”Yes.”

”Hey Anthony, let's go.” his blockmate called him. What a pest. Can't he see that he's having a conversation with his girlfriend? Ok, so we're not yet at that level, but for now even without a label, I should say that we're having a mutual understanding! I mean, what else could one call our relationship?

”You go ahead.” He told him.
