95%

19/20.

That's what we got in our (my) oral presentation.
One of the team members saw me waiting in line to get in the Gym before the math exam, and patted me on the back and said, ''Hey! We got 95%!''

Thoughts going through my head as a rush of sudden anger and hatred runs through my veins: ''Listen up, PAL. I got 95%. You got nothing. NOTHING, you hear?!''

This is the ongoing pattern with team projects. Now, I have repeatedly searched, and I have yet to find the precious little ''i'' which should probably be placed as a silent vowel in the word TEAM.

I don't know if teachers see the despair in my face when they mention ''group presentation'' or ''team project''. Everyone knows there's always that one member that does everything. That one person who hasn't completely given up just because, well, because.

''So today we will be discussing the final project which is due on december 7th. You will be placed into groups of 4 or 5 [...] (rest is irrelevant because Féli is already ripping her hair out and scratching her eyes out.)''

Glad I got that out of my system.
Also glad I got the grade I worked for.
