Keenan and Blake were queuing to buy their snacks at the cafeteria.
Blake looked around, making sure no one was listening. “Bro, let me ask you, do you like that girl?”
“Huh? Who?” Keenan’s brows were pulled together.
“You know.. The one who got stung the other day.”
“...” He looked at Blake as if he was speaking in an alien language.
Blake rolled his eyes. “Fine! Be that way! Hmph!” He crossed his arms and turned away from his friend.
Keenan swept his gaze around. His brows furrowed. He turned his attention to the cafeteria lady who was now receiving Blake’s payment.
Oscar was rather good in math as well and knew that Dawn’s method was the right one. But the way she explained it was really easy to understand.“You got it.. The others are the same.. Uh--I have to go. I still have to stop by the library..”“Okay.. Thank you..”Dawn nodded, her eyes formed into crescents.Janus and the previous girl had a love-hate relationship before. The girl had affection for him as was expected of a family member but because they’re close to the same age, there were times that she was just being bossy and he was just pushing her buttons too much. They acted just like how siblings are to each other.
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.”
