“Son, you did well.. I’m proud of you..” Governor Antonio Alegre, patted Keenan on the shoulder.
“Thanks..” A faint smile hung on Keenan’s face.
“Yes.. you were amazing!” Charlotte hugged him.
Keenan patted her back before pulling away. “Thanks, Mom.”
“By the way.. Your partner is really talented! Do you get along with her well?”
“Mn. She’s good.” The smile reached his eyes, startling Charlotte.
She exchanged glances with her husband.

Days passed and it was time for their Periodical Exam.The students were eyeing the results since there seemed to be a dark horse in their midst."Everyone, when your name is called, come to the front and receive your report card." Marcelo Reyes said."I wonder if Hugo will still be able to keep his position. ""Yeah, or maybe Freya will be able to pass him this time! ""Hmmm...you never know they have always been neck-and-neck! ""Have you forgotten? What do you think about Dawn? "
All eyes were on Dawn.They’ve already guessed that there’s a possibility of her becoming part of the honor roll because of her performances since the start of the school year. But when Marcelo called out the names of students starting from the top 40, they'd already forgotten her name. They were also taking into account that the other class would also have students in the top 40.Their class adviser suddenly looked at Dawn.“No, that can’t be!”“If she’s part of the top 5 then she should only be at top 2! There’s no way that she would even surpass Hugo!”
“Why don’t you just show your scores?” Christian mumbled.“...” Dawn side-eyed him. “Don’t want to.”“They would shut up once they see your scores.”“Heh.. That would be pointless.” She shrugged.Christian frowned.In Dawn’s mind, it would be useless to show them the proof that she deserved to be in that spot. These people would always have something to complain about. Also, she didn’t like to have her grade be waved around
Allan, Dawn’s classmate who was now seated across from her, fidgeted on his seat. He fixed his dark hair nervously.“So..uh.. I wanted to ask first. Do you have a boyfriend?” He tried to sound confident but Dawn swore she could hear a squeak from him.“....” Dawn wondered if she should lie to him. But decided against it since it would be a hassle to back it up later on. “No, I don’t.”Allan heaved a sigh of relief. That was already good news for him.“Then-- I would like to court you.. Can I?”D
“Ma’am, Ma’am Helena is outside.” Anita told them. She was cleaning in the yard when she caught sight of Helena walking towards the residence. She immediately went inside to let them know.“Oh? Could you get another plate and utensils?” Estela asked her.“Okay, Ma’am..” Anita nodded and left for the kitchen.Estela went out to meet Helena while Dawn changed into different clothes.“Helena, come in.. You just got back from your conference?” She opened the door and
Saturday arrived. The parents and their children arrived on the campus of Trinity Institute. The school has invited them to check on any updates concerning their children’s life at school, their grades, the activities they participate in, and their behavior and attendance. It was also the time for them to ask the teachers their questions, especially about the report card. This time was also used to update the parents of the school activities and projects. There’s also a time given to present to them some tips that they could use to help their own children to improve their grades and their attitude as a person. Of course, the subject about donations is also included in the agenda. Plans to extend the gym were
With everyone’s agreement, they signed a paper, permitting Marcelo to release the students’ grades.The students who came with their teachers stayed in the back of the room. There were not a lot of students inside as several of them used the time to hang out with their friends.In the front, Marcelo set up one of the laptops the school owned and connected it to the projector.He then inserted his USB flash drive and opened the document where he had stored the grades of the students. It was now arranged according to the highest average. Their grade from each subject was also shown.There was also a border from the top 1 to 40th students.At
Days have passed since then.There were still plenty of students who were protesting Dawn’s grades. But they couldn’t do anything about it since the teachers stood by the grades they’ve given.They could only mutter their disagreement and talk behind Dawn’s back.This was nothing new to Dawn, however. She has long been the subject of their gossip.These days, their attention was drawn to the discussion about the Intramurals. They’ve already drawn lots to decide which team they would belong to.They ended the classes early to give time for everyone to have a meeting with their teams.
