FCK ME, TEACHER

0

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.

"Geez what do you want me to do?" sigaw ko sa matabang teacher namin sa Science. She's teaching us physics or whatever.

"I will retire next week, Pam. My replacement teacher will not be like me, pabalik-balik ka nalang dito sa senior high. You won't go to college, land a job or even settle down to work. You will be nothing but a menace to the society. So I give you an option to pass this subject by taking a special project or you're going to fail this semester." seryosong bati ni Ma'am Rita sa akin.

"I don't know---"

"You're so close of being suspended in this school, Pamella." she added at saka tumayo. Medyo nahihirapan pa sya.

"Who's gonna be your replacement? Other old teachers from different school? Yun?"

"No, it's Dr. Alvarez."

Napataas ang kilay ko dito.

"He passed his doctorate degree kaya maari syang tawaging doctor of physics education. Kung nag-aaral ka lang ng mabuti, alam mo 'yan---"

Mataba at matandang guro na si Mrs. Rita kaya ganun-ganun nalang ang pakikipag-usap ko sa kanya. Sa ibang mga subject teachers ko, I just ditch classes since I'm not interested, gagala sa mall kasama ng mga batang-ina kong mga kakilala.

I'm pretty and choosy kaya hindi rin ako mabuntis-buntis, plus, everytime I needed an answer, sasagutin iyon ni Abigail. Ang "bestfriend" kong nerd, hindi naman talaga namin bestfriend ang isa't-isa. She's an honor student and running for valedictorian. This will be my last semester before I end up to college and honestly, ayaw kong magcollege so I don't really care.

"Whatever." I said at nauna ng lumabas sa classroom.

"Pamella..."

Liningon ko ito.

"We're doing this for your own good." she blurted out from afar. Nakatitig ako sa kanya habang pasimpleng kinuha ang smart phone.
