Love Me Back

Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Jealous

"As you can see Miss Rodriguez," Miss Bella showed me a paper containing my grades."Your grades aren't stable.Minsan tumataas at minsan bumababa,kapag bumaba ay umaabot na ng 75 at bagsak iyon Miss Rodiguez."

We arrived at the teacher's faculty at nakakapagtakang nanduon pa din si Augustus.He is sitting in one of Miss Bella's chair at nasa tapat ko siya ngayon.He is busy checking some papers na nanduon.I didn't know he is a teacher's pet.

"You even got a 70 on your 2nd Grading Miss Rodriguez at baka hindi ka makagraduate."

"I'm sorry Ma'am,I'll try my best to keep up next grading po."

If I can't get high grades then why can't I  get low grades?Wala naman sigurong pakealam si Nay Selia kung bagsak ang grades ko.She only give attention when I have high grades,nakakasawa na ding masermonan sa tuwing mataas ang mga grades ko like I did something na ipapahamak ko.

"I hope so iha," she glance at my grades. "Aim for 95 above grade para mahila pataas ang final grade mo at para maka-akyat ka ng stage.If you have some financial or family problems,you can share it with me.Coping up isn't hard iha,all of us can catch up.Goodluck."

Miss Bella  smiled and I smiled back too.But I don't have any plans on having high grades anymore.I'm too tired manipulating my grades,kung ano nalang lumabas sa report card ay yun na yun.

I was about to exit the office nang marinig ko ang sinabi ni Miss Bella kay Augustus.

"After checking those papers,ikaw na ang umattend sa class ko sa room nila since I have some errands to do.My subject will be their last class."

What the?Siya ang magbabantay samin sa klase ni Miss Bella?!Oh my god!

Excitedly,I go to the comfort room to,unexpectedly,fix myself.I put my hair up to a ponytail and left some hairstrands hanging in my face and then kinuha ko ang lipbalm na nasa bulsa.

Binili ko ito kahapon lang sa isang convinience store pauwi.I was with Conie and she suggested me to buy some liptints dahil ang putla ng labi ko,mukha daw akong may sakit pero dahil ayaw ko nuon ay sinuggest niya sa akin na bumili nalang ng tinted lipbalm to moisturize my lips.

Ngayon ko pa lang ito gagamitin kaya tinanggal ko muna ang plastic na nakacover dito and then open it to put some on my lips.

My heart can stop to pound hard as I think about the Augustus Alejandro entering our class and be in the same room for almost an hour.Nakikita ko naman siya araw-araw pero iba pa din talaga kapag malapitan,especially when Liliana Gonzales is not around.

Bumalik ako nang room ng nakangiti,they were still busy with the activity kaya hindi na nila napansin ang pagpasok ko.

I was so excited the whole time and I wished the time pass quickly at ang pagbell nalang ang hinintay,hudyat na last subject na namin.

A wave of thoughts gathered in my mind.

Ugh,I can wait to hear his voice again,napakamanly and it send so much chills to me.Pati ag boses ay guwapo din.Paano kaya siya magturo?Is he good?Bakit siya nasa faculty?Pero I shouldn't think about that.The fact that he's going to enter our room para magturo..hayst.Can I absorb the information na tinuro niya?I can help but to smile wide because of my thoughts.

Buong oras hanggang sa second to the last subject ay hindi ako mapakali.Hindi din ako makapagfocus sa tinuturo g teacher namin sa harap.Even though I want to listen and understand the lesson ay hindi ko magawa.

I'm too preoccupied with the thought of the Augustus Yorrick Alejandro entering our room later.

Hanggang sa tumunog na nga ang bell,now it's our time for our last subject.Ano kayang reaction ng mga kaklase ko kapag si Augustus yung magtuturo?
