And my mom was grandpa successor so I understand if ever they can't attend the parents meeting tomorrow.
Sumimangot ako and I am so speechless.Alam ko naman na they work to hard for my future.So I have to understand them.

It was already friday and parang iba yung pakiramdam ko.
When I was on my room Brent ask me a question "Bestie sinong aattend sayo?"I answered "im not sure si mom siguro"
Rose also asked me "kinakabahan ka naman"kung alam niyo lang guys I want to answer yes but my mouth says "ewan ko".
"Okay good morning class.Nasaan na mga parents niyo?Iilan palang kasi yung nandito e",Mrs.Roses started.
We are at the back seats and our parents was occupied all the seats.I did saw my mom yet.
When suddenly my mom entered.
"Tita may ipapakilala daw po si Candy sayo mamaya!",sabi ni Brent.My mom just smiles.Gaga talaga 'to.Nakita ko si tita buti nalang late din si mama niya."Tita,ipapakilala na raw po sa inyo ni Brent si Ha.",sabi ko."Sure hija gusto ko ding makilala yon ei".
Brent pinched me "baliw ka,nakakainis ka"."bakit mo kasi sinimulan bleee!",sabi ko.
"Thank you for attending parents.So let's start this meeting on graduation,"sabi ni Mrs.Roses.
Ayon nagsimula na sinabi niya kung magkano yung babayaran.Kung anong nangyari nung pictorial and marami pang iba.
"So now let's proceed to our honors!We have 24 with honors and 2 with high honors. Sayang po kasi halos 1 point nalang may with highest honors na tayo",sabi ni maam.
Ito na yon nakakakaba.Tinawag na ni ma'am yung mga pangalan.
Mrs.Roses announces the honors"With Honors,Congratulations Franny!"
We clapped our hands and lumapit si Franny and his mom to get the certificate and have a picture.
"Next Lea"
"Rose"
"Lauren"
"Reese"
"Brent"
At nagsunod sunod na.
"We are now down to 2 with high honors our top 2 with an average of 96.2 was Congratulations ....Candy Sandoval!"
Nagulat ako I'm expecting that I am the first honor.I just smiled.They are clapping and I went to the front to claimed the certificate.My mom just also smiled.
I disappoint her.Sana pala di ko nalang sinabi na may meeting kami para di siya nasaktan.It was my tears wants to fall but I look up to stop it.They don't have to see this falling.
"And congratulations to our 1st honor with average of 96.4 ......Harith Miranda!"
He went and he's mom was so happy.That should be me.I cant explained what's my feelings right now.All I know is I want to cry.
"Okay,Congratulations to our with honors and with high honors.",Mrs.Roses said.
She gave the cards.My mom was frowned when she saw my grades.I decided to go with her seat.
She told me that she will asked my science teacher about my grades because when 2nd grading this was 95 and now it's 91.
I don't think what happened but I am the representative of whole grade 10 in science quiz bee and I won in that competition and I do not know how it will failed like that.
"Mie,please wag na.Ayoko na isipin nilang lahat na hindi ko tanggap.Na hindi natin tanggap.Hayaan nalang natin please",I whispered to my mom.
But the truth was hindi ko talaga matanggap bakit ganon."No Candy!,mali ei",sabi ni mommy.
"Thank you for attending parents.Congratulations po!",sabi ni ma'am.
"Candy,you have to meet your tita Cristel.You can go home naman na daw e, sabi nung teacher mo",sabi ni mommy.
Agad-agad umalis si mom frustrated and dissappointed about me.
Nilapitan ako ni Lauren and niyakap bago pa man ako malapitan ni Brent and the rest of our friends "Okay ka lang?",savi ni Lauren.
I just nodded.
Brent embraced me tight "Sis, okay lang yan para sa akin your the best!"
I whispered "baliw okay lang ako!ano ba yang sinasabi mo?" and laughed.
Tinignan lang nila ko Reese speak and send "arat gala?"
Rose answered "san naman?"
Brent also speak "sa bahay nila Candy?para masaya!"
"I am sorry guys may pupuntahan pa ko next time nalang",I am about to go when Reese hold my hand.I stared at him.
"Saan ka pupunta?",tanong niya.
"I have to meet tita Cristel and I am 15 minutes late,pasensya na guys I have to go"sagot ko.
Nakita ko si mommy na kausap yung isang kaibigan niyang teacher.Kilala na kasi si mommy just because I am a Consistent 1st honor since then.
Narinig ko na itanong daw ni mommy.
"Mom,let's go home, please"sabi ko
"Candy, I just asked the teacher"
"Mom please wag na"
Umalis bigla si mommy and sumakay ng galit sa kotse.
I feel her hindi ko din naman matanggap pero ayoko magtanong si mommy kasi ayoko na pag-usapan ako sa buong school just because of it.
Buti nalang talaga nag single motor ako pagpasok.Hayst.Pinaandar ko yung motor and pumunta kay tita Cristel.
