6. The Preparation for Midterms

After many days of tutoring and studying now we are prepared for the midterms in which is around the corner and now coming to us. So I was wondering if how is George's studying. 'Why am I thinking of him in all of times?' I thought about it in my mind then erased it. Now is not the time to worry about him and I should continue my studying. I've also thought about Shina and the others who are studying hard now and trying to memorize those items on the test.

I don't think of myself because I am selfless and always think about the people around me. I even envy them sometimes when they do something good or they failed to do something good. Because I never felt how to fail one thing ever since I am elegant in doing things like writing a single text perfectly and straight or maybe paint an amazing picture perfectly and very real life type. But I was thinking about whether doing something perfectly means I am still imperfect.

I thought about it from morning until evening before the midterms will begin. So I had a dream about one day that I will make a mistake in front of everyone and embarrass myself. And I was a little terrified of maybe it will happen in the future because nowadays even nightmares can turn to reality. But instead of minding it more I tried to put it out of my mind because all my life in this one I never became imperfect in front of everyone so that is why I always expect myself to be perfect.

So as always I sit in the classroom while the teacher's prepare us for the midterms in which is called a pretest for the teachers to know if we understand what they are saying or lecturing us during classes. Of course I should become more aware of that because it's much easier than the exams itself. And after that I do my self study in case I have so much time left after school or during school days. So as I was reading a boy who was wearing glasses stood up to me and said, "Are you Princess Maria?" and I joyfully answered, "Yes I am. What do you need from me?" and also asked him.

"Well the midterms is at the corner and I didn't studied at all. So if you don't mind if you could you know tutor me?" he asked and bowed down. So I answered happily, "I don't mind. But for how many hours or minutes?" and also asked him. "How about until I could learn them. I'm sorry if I'm asking much" he said sadly. " I already told you I don't mind much. So raise your head." I answered very disappointed at him as he joyfully said, "Thank you. Princess Maria. You saved me."

'Even though he wears glasses, I think he looks handsome even in my perspective.' I said in my mind as I helped this little fellow. But first I should ask his name. "What's your name first? I usually don't just offer some help without identifying that person or those particular persons." He immediately answered me, "My name is Johnny. Remember me from when we were young?" I think I remembered this name somewhere. But no way. I think maybe he was the one friend me and George had since childhood.

Now I remembered. "You must be JonJon right. We used to call you that because you were the smartest back then. Right?" "You're right at the money. I am JonJon. But now I am called Johnny. How is George? I hoped you had a great time since we got separated." JonJon said as he was happy to see us again after for so long.

Well if I could remember one thing is that when we went separate ways except for me and George who stayed while JonJon's parents suddenly moved to America in which where his father lived ever since his mother stayed behind in Castel city when he was born. He told us about his move and we said our goodbye's to each other. But he knew that we were engaged so he kept his mouth shut. Even from his own parents. So now that he's back I have many questions to ask him about America.

"How was America? I've heard that there are much pretty girls there. Have you met one?" And then he answered, "I met girls there. But because of my coolness they started to get close to me and I have to stay away from them." "Yes I can see that." I answered as some girls wanted to get close to one of the popular boys in our grade and also wanted to start weird rumors about he two of us hanging out. So ever since that day we started to study in the library. Even though there is much attention in the library.
