Chapter 10

"Miss?"

From my laptop, I looked up and saw one of my student im front of my table. He looks nervous as hell as he keeps fixing his eyeglasses. Mukhang ginawa syang representative ng klase dahil ang iba nyang mga kaklase ay naka-abang.

"What is it, Mr. Sanchez?" Tanong ko kaya naman inabot nya sa akin ang kaka-sauli pa lang nilang test paper.

I took it while still looking at him.

"Miss, I just want to verify my score." Sabi nya kaya naman tinignan ko ang papel at literal na nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita ang malaking zero sa itaas na gilid na parte ng papel.

"Actually po, Miss, lahat po ng boys ay zero ang score." Mahina nya pang sabi kaya naman napa-tingin ako sa kanya.

I read his answers and knowing this young man, he deserve more than five points for his well-explained answers. These were the papers I asked Hugo to check and I don't know why in the world did he do this but whatever his reasons are, I will kill him myself.

I stood which made the student ran back to his chair. Tumahimik naman ang buong klase kaya naman kahit paano ay hindi na nadagdagan pa ang inis ko.

"All those with unreasonable low scores, return your papers."

Tahimik namang kinolekta ni Mr. Sanchez ang mga papel bago ito linagay sa mesa ko.

"I am sorry for what happened. This is an unintentional mistake. I will re-check your papers and give you the proper credit." Paliwanag ko. "Begin reading the text as I make a phonecall. Excuse me for a second. ." Dagdag ko pa bago lumabas ng kwarto.

Mabilis kong dinial ang number ni Hugo habang papunta ako sa opisina ko. I cannot talk to him in the hallway because I am furious right now. He just embarassed me to my class and not once in my teaching career that I made myself irresponsible, ngayon lang.

"I'm in the middle--"

"Well, guess what? I'm in the middle of getting a heart attack, Hugo." Nanggigil kong sabi pagka-pasok ko sa opisina ko.

I paced frustratingly as I imagine his sexy aura with his annoying smirk. I can't even sit nor stand still because I might really have a heart attack.

"You miss me already?" He said in a teasing tone that made me groan in annoyance.

"I badly wanted to curse at you right now, Hugo. So bad." I said in a restrained voice because I am controlling myself at baka magwala ako ng di oras.

"For missing me too much?"

Napa-pikit ako bago huminga nang malalim. Hanggang kailan ba magkakaroon ng shortage sa supply ng common sense si Hugo? 

"Did you help me that night just to mess with me?" I tried my best to calm down but my heart is still pounding that makes it hard for me to breathe properly.

"What are you--"

"Don't even try in denying it, Hugo." Inis kong sabi. "Bakit mo zinero ang test ng mga estudyante ko?" I finally said it dahil sa tingin ko ay hindi naman nya aaminin.

"They will surely think na nanghuhula lang ako ng grades which will make me lose my credibility. Hugo, I sacrificed a lot just to get where I am today and this little joke of yours just stained my career as a teacher."

I ended the call after that because I don't think I can still talk to him with all my frustrations. Umupo ako sa swivel chair ko bago paulit-ulit na huminga nang malalim.

I've been a student so I know how a mind of one works. I've been to countless times where I think lowly of my teacher just because of a little mistake. And now being one of the most reputable yet downgraded profession, it breaks my heart knowing that my students think what I thought when I was their age.
