Teach Me Mr. Tutor

CHAPTER ONE

Camellia POV

I saw my mom's disappointment when I showed her my 3 medals and my grade card.

Is it that bad?

Yumuko ako sa naisip. She's always not satisfied with what I am earning. I don't know how to satisfy her, I got only one medal last year, and I promised myself that I'll get more medals this year, but seems like it didn't satisfy her.

Nang makita niya ako ay agad na sumilay ang pekeng ngiti sa kaniyang labi, I know she's just trying so hard to smile at me, but I can't make her proud.

"Do you still remember what mommy always tells you, honey?"

"Mom?" I asked.

She just stood right there and stare at me. Expecting me to say what she wants me to say.

"Don't stop, until you're already on the top of the top" I innocently said.

She smiled brightly and held my shoulders, she kissed my forehead and left me alone in my study room, she used to lock me here to concentrate.

Growing up I believe that to succeed you have to be on the top. My world spins around books and Trophies, I have to get that academic validation because that was what Mom wanted. And when she's happy, I'm also happy, she's everything that I have except Dad, he's always at work, and when he's at home, he never face me, he only focuses on his computer and patients.

I was only 8 years old.

And I feel like a grown-up woman.

I have to be independent, no one cares about me when I'm sick, so growing up I avoid anything that'll make me sick because it makes me weak. Growing up, I only have my yaya to look after me.

And one more about me, I don't cry.

"Cams, Punta tayo sa building ng grade 10, balita ko nandon daw ngayon Si Stanley and my only Fourth! ACKKK!!!" Tili niya.

Napapikit ako habang Nakahawak sa mga tainga.

Kahit kailan talaga itong babaeng to, nakakahiya hays.

Anong ginagawa ni Stanley sa building ng grade 10? Dapat kasama ko siya ngayon mag lunch, but he's nowhere to be found.

Walang tigil ang bunganga ni Shiney, my best friend. Nasa 3rd floor pa daw sila stan kaya sobrang hingal na hingal kami pag ka tung tong sa 3rd floor.

"Ayyeee! Lakas talaga ni Stanley, may Camellia na nga may Lyza pa, iba ka talaga pre, palahi daw si ramel HAHA" Panunukso nang mga kaibigan ni stan.

Napatigil ako sa aking kinatatayuan, agad akong nagtago nang makita ko ang boyfriend ko na nakayakap sa ibang babae.

Nagpatuloy ang panunukso nang mga kaibigan niya, ngunit hindi ko na natiis ang mag tago, I showed up myself. Ang unang kaibigan niyang nakakita sa akin ay agad akong itinuro habang ang stanley naman ay abala sa pakikipag landian sa babaeng grade 10.

She's pretty.

But not as pretty as I am.

Nang lumingon si stanley sa itinuturo nang mga traydor niyang kaibigan ay nakangiti pa siya, ngunit nang makita niya na ako ang babaeng itinuturo nila ay agad na tumalsik ang babae at agad na tumakbo si Stanley papunta sa akin. His reaction was priceless LOL.
