Seth Acosta stared at his flash drive and thought of how amazing it is that a High School student could code a game already. That topic was supposed to be discussed in the last chapter and even that barely scratched the surface. What Dawn did was more than what the textbook had shown.
He remembered that she had a perfect score on the last exam too. Although, in the two years before that, she had mediocre grades.
Like the other teachers, they found it unbelievable at first. But now, it is only to their advantage to have a student who could excel like this. It is better to nurture it rather than nip it in the bud. They didn’t give up on her before, why should they give up on her now that she’s already improving.
However, this type of mindset only stayed among thems
When classes ended, she called her mother to let her know she’d be delayed for a little while.“Ma, I’ll stop by at Aria’s house. I’m having her and Valerie read the rest of the draft for me so I could check if I need to change something. It won’t take too long. They’re almost done with it.”“Alright. Just let me know when you’re almost here so I can have Anita pick you up from the bus stop.”“Okay. Ma..”They then ended the call.The rest of their friends got dropped off and the three of them went to Aria’s house.
When Dawn arrived home, Estela noticed the cane immediately.“Eh? How come you have this?” She pointed at the cane.“Somebody lent it to me..” Dawn’s gaze went to the cane on her hand.“Oh? How nice of them! Who lent it?” She helped Dawn sit on the couch.“He’s a senior from the school.” She folded the cane.“It’s the boy who carried her, ma’am..&rdquo
Days pass quickly when one is occupied with many things.Dawn’s friends have also improved in their grades causing the ire of some. They wondered what they could have eaten to cause such a change. They were not as bad as Dawn even before but their individual improvements were so much better than theirs.The ones in the honor roll weren’t too threatened yet. They were still able to maintain their position and this would still be the first quarter of the school year.This time, the students were given a week break for the events the theater arts club has prepared.Since Dawn, Valerie, Annalise and Phoebe were responsible for getting the list of students who would be interested to register for the different
Allison chose to play Moon River without its lyrics.“You got it? Dance to this song, Moon River. Be as expressive as you can be..Trust your partner.”Suddenly, Dawn turned away from Keenan and stood straight.Allison thought it odd but when she looked at Dawn’s face, she realized that she was getting ready.Keenan observed her posture, he trembled slightly.When the music started, it was as if they were the only people in the room.Dawn danced backward a few steps before twirling to face him who had danced to meet her in the middle.
If it was the previous Dawn Salcedo, she would have basked in the attention she was getting from Keenan Alegre.She would have immediately gone along with it now that her crush is giving her the attention she wished for.However, although she and the previous girl shared the same name, the similarity only stopped there.She was becoming guarded the more that these boys suddenly got close to her when they avoided the previous girl like a plague before.She was wary of their intentions.She couldn’t guess what Keenan would obtain from getting close to her though. He was already the golden boy in the city. He was also a year older than her which didn&rsq
At the conference room, a long table was prepared on one side with beverages and snacks. There were also long tables forming an L on the other side of the room and chairs behind it. In the front was the decorated board that said, ‘Welcome Guest Teachers!’.The room was air-conditioned, giving them a cooling feeling as soon as they entered. It was a much welcomed change after being outside in hot weather.“Hello Miss Mal!” Allison greeted Mallory as soon as she entered. “Come sit with me..”Mallory saw that there were two vacant seats next to her. “Let’s go.”
Michael thought that both were good composers even as High School students. As a person who has been in the industry for more than a decade, he knew that these two have what it takes to be great musicians. If it was up to him alone, he would want them to perform individually. But since the time was tight to prepare for the show, it was better to have them compose a song together. “What do you think?” He asked them. Dawn pursed her lips. She looked at Keenan. Keenan shrugged. “It’s alright with me, as long as she’s okay with it.” What else could she say?
“Huh? Did your class just end?” Tara glanced at her watch, seeing that Dawn came later than usual for lunch.“Yeah, the teacher had me and another student stay behind..” She nodded, washing her hands.“Oh? What for? Is something wrong?” She tilted her head to the side and her brows were about to meet.“To check our vocal range.”Tara’s brows shot up. She didn’t expect that kind of answer. ‘Checking vocal range?’
