Chapter 11
Today is hell. The results of the first quarter exams are out!!! <(0_0)>
I didn't really review much, though. Every time I hold a book, I fall asleep, and the sound of lectures is like a lullaby to me, swear!! I think books are more effective as sleeping pills.
"Perez, Alys Zyril," Ma'am said.
It felt like my feet were tied to iron balls. I couldn't walk.
Even though I didn't want to, I still took my paper. F. A resounding F written in red marker.
"I'm dead again with Mommy. Thankfully, Daddy is cool with these things. Maybe Mommy will take away my video game consoles later (._.)
"Aya snatched the paper from me and laughed, "I knew it, we're soulmates, Besh. Who would have thought we'd both get an F?"
I sighed. They're right, birds of a feather flock together. If I hang out with Drake, will I become smarter? Mwahaha!
I took the paper back from her, "You're crazy. You're happy that we both failed. Tss."
We fell silent until Ma'am spoke up, "So all of you have received your papers. And by the looks of it, some of you would need to take tutoring sessions every afternoon. It will start tomorrow afternoon, so better tell your parents about this. Those who will take the said classes are the ones who received a mark of F, and for those who received a mark of A, you will be the ones who will be the tutors. Is that clear?"
"Triple Kill. First Blood. I'm included again!! Why haven't I gotten used to it?? I'm part of this every year = =
It's good if Sheen would be teaching me, but probably not!! Nerdy students always end up with me. Psh. I'm really unlucky sometimes.
"I will post the pairings this afternoon. And also, I will place the waiver your parents need to sign for the tutorial every afternoon," Ma'am said.
Sigh. I'm done for. I'm dead, "get your Math books."
We got the spawn of the devil Math book and started the lesson. Seriously, why does life seem so unfair? I'm not good at Science and English, and now Math too?? What am I good at?? It's so unfair!! Thankfully, I'm pretty. =___=
The whole day ended with me zoning out. Why is that? Nothing's sticking in my head. No wonder my grades are bad. How did I even make it to fourth year? Hehehe.
"Besh, let's check the list. Hehehe. I'm excited," Aya said with a laugh. She's crazy. =_=
It's her hobby to annoy her tutor, it's like a tradition for her. So far, everyone has quit.
We approached the bulletin board. "Wahaha!!" Aya said to me, hitting my arm. I might have bruises later, "look, Drake is your tutor. Wow! Match made in heaven?"
I didn't react, I just looked for Aya's name...
"AND WHY IS SHEEN MY LOVE AND TUTOR???"
Aya was stunned, then... "Wahaha! Sheen is my tutor. Nice nice," she said with a devilish smile on her face. Uh-oh. She'll bully Sheen. =_=
After that, we went home to our respective houses. I had my waiver signed by Daddy. Hehe. I'm Daddy's girl. Thankfully, I have a strong influence over Daddy. That's why I love him so much.
And since the tutorial session starts tomorrow, I tried to read the book. I don't want Drake to call me stupid! I still have pride, you know!!
Trigonometry *gulp* The logarithmic functions of each... *Brain freeze*
The next day...
"Hey, besh. What's up?"
Aya and I just talked. Apparently, her aunt scolded her again because we're in tutorials together for the ninth time!
"What's her excuse to Tita? They're actually saving money since the tutorials are free! Maybe Tita's about to have a meltdown when Aya said that. Crazy woman. = =
During breaktime, Kei and her friends approached us. Uh-oh. (._.) "Look who's here?" she said to her friends.
Aya just rolled her eyes, "boring. You're not the star of Mean Girls, Miss Popular. Drop the attitude."
Kei's face reddened with annoyance, but she still maintained her poised demeanor, "Miss-whoever-you---"
"Aya, Aya is my name," Aya said with her mouth full of fries! Kei looked disgusted, "you're gross."
Aya smiled, "I know, and thank you!"
Kei shook her head, "losers. Let's go, girls. Let's not talk to these wannabes. By the way, don't you ever dare seduce drake in your tutorials. Who knows what you can do," she smirked.
I was a bit annoyed when I heard that, "why would I seduce Drake Palma? He's already my boyfriend," I said with a smug look. Huh! Beat that, Kei! I said that so the other fan girls of Drake would hear it too. Hopefully, I'll still be alive before the tutorials! (._.)
She smiled, a fake one though, "do you think I would buy that, sweetie? I'm not that stupid to believe you."
I stood up and slammed my hand on the table, "in the acquaintance! Right! He's my date for the acquaintance party!!"
She laughed along with her minions. They're wannabe mean girls!! "Okay then, Miss Pathetic. Show us," she said, and then they left.
I looked at my friend, "sigh, Besh. Why did you even bother with those mean girls? Tss."
"They're too much! I only have dignity left, my pride is already depleted."
"I need to defend it!!"
Aya just looked at me, "your problem. How are you going to tell your 'boyfriend'?" She said while pointing at Drake, who was buying cola and burger.
I gulped, "whatever, hehehe."
"Tss. I thought you only rarely didn't use your brain, but it seems like often," she said while finishing her fries, "let's go to the room."
As we walked, the girls were staring at us. If I know, it's because of what I said earlier. Tss. Well, if they don't believe me, that's their problem. Huh! We'll see at the Acquaintance Party!!
Fast forward...
"So that was it, class dismissed!"
Some students were stretching and getting ready to go home, but Aya and I? We still had a tutorial session. (._.) I'm nervous!! Muh-meeee!!
The others were being called to different places for their tutorials. Sigh.
Here's the translation:
A long afternoon for us. =
Aya's Point of View:
Library. Nice nice. No one will see what I'm doing. Hehehe *twinkling eyes* poke poke.
"Aya?" *poke poke* "Aya?"
He stopped poking my arm and sat beside me. It's sheen? Will he still make me sleep? I thought he would leave too! Anubayan!! This crybaby is so persistent!! I've been trying to sleep for 15 minutes already!!
Suddenly, he spoke up, "it's so cold in here," and then he stood up and put his coat on me."
I stood up suddenly, causing him to sit on the floor, "y-you're awake.." he said, slightly stuttering. I took my books and placed them on the table, "teach me now."
Alys' Point of View:
*gulp, super gulp*
"Uh? Drake?"
I wanted to look at him, but I couldn't speak. What's wrong with me, Alys? Where did my tongue go? How many times have I called him and couldn't speak? Uh? Five times? On the sixth time, he finally faced me and stared at me... with a piercing stare _O_
"Ah-eh.. in the.. uhm.. acquaintance? Uh. Eh. Hehe. Uhm.." That's all I could say while he was looking at me! Thankfully, we were seated, or else I would have sat on the floor again because my knees felt like jelly!!
"No," he said, then went back to writing.
No? As in, you're not a loser like Kei said? No? As in, DBSK won't reunite?? No? As in, Sheen and Kei won't get back together??? Or no? As in, I'm not pretty?? >//////////////// <
What did he mean by "no"?? I pulled my chair closer to him and nudged him, "uhm, no as in?"
Then I listed down the possible meanings of "no" that I thought of. Maybe he would think I'm assumptive, so I asked to be sure!! Better safe than sorry, right!!
"Shit," he said, "I. won't. go. to. that. party." Then he stood up. Why does it feel so painful?
Drake's Point of View:
"Uh? Drake?" I looked up because she had been calling me for a while. What's wrong with this girl? On the sixth time, I finally faced her and stared at her.
"Ah-eh.. in the.. uhm.. acquaintance? Uh. Eh. Hehe. Uhm.." *sigh* Stupid girl. Is this the girl Papa wants me to be with? She has a speech defect.
"No," I said.
"No," I said. It's Kat's birthday that day. Besides, what would I do at that party? Sleep? =_____=
I wonder what gift I should give to Kat. A book? A ring? A teddy bear?
She approached me and nudged me again, "uhm, no as in?" Then she listed down some weird things. Alien language. = =
"Shit," I said. I don't want to curse in front of a girl, but she's really confusing, "I. won't. go. to. that. party." Then I stood up. She can probably handle the reviewer I made. Is Papa already home? I still need to talk to Kat.
