I've never been so busy in my whole life that it almost took half of my time. What's keeping me busy is none other than the cram school held at the library.

It usually starts after class dismissal but now, it even took my class time dahil sa pagdoble ng mga estudyanteng nagpapatutor dahil sa hindi sila nakapasa sa test held last month.

They were given a chance, a remedial test kaya dumoble yung bilang ng mga estudyanteng pumupunta sa library upang magpatutor. They will only took a remedial test sa mga subjects na they failed to pass.

Napabuntong hininga ako ng maluwag nang lumabas na sa wakas ang huling estudyanteng nagpatutor ngayong araw. Napatingin ako sa relo and my eyes twitched nang makita ang oras.

Shit! It's already 8:10 PM! I skipped practice again!

Binilisan ko ang paglagay ng mga gamit ko sa loob ng bag at dali-daling lumabas sa library. Before I step outside, I thanked and bid farewell to the librarian. Patakbo kong tinahak ang daan papunta sa field at nakitang patay na ang mga ilaw.

"Shit." I cursed as I went inside the field and change my clothes inside the dugout.

Lumabas ako at nagtungo sa area kung saan may soccer-goal-like net to catch my pitches. I swing my right arm and feel satisfaction.

"I haven't used my left arm for pitching. I should condition this." I did some warm-up exercise on my left arm upang hindi ito makalitan at mastrain.

I raised both my arms and then swing my left arm down. Oh! What a nice pitch.

"I thought I lost my touch.." Salita ko, beaming out a side grin while holding another ball again.

"You wouldn't. That's your dominant arm after all." I shriek in horror nang may biglang nagsalita.

"Ira! You scared me." Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib.

She let out a chuckle. "You've been missing out the practice for a week now. Uncle mentioned that he will start selecting players for the summer qualifier tournament."

"Really?"

"Yep. Chances are hindi ka isasali ni tito sa main roster dahil sa absences mo." Napatulon ako ng laway sa sinabi ni Ira.

"Really?"

"Mhm. What will you do about it?" Tanong niya.

My gaze fall on the ground. What do I do? I've been missing my practices because of this peer tutoring program that I accepted. Hindi ko ba sana tinanggap ang offer na yon? But it's the principal who's asking for my help! I can't say no to it. Argh!

I heave a stressed sigh, "I don't know." I said in a breathy tone.

"Uncle did something on your behalf." Ikinakuha ng atensyon ko ang sinabi ni Ira.

"What is it?"

"He went to the principal himself and asked if he could lessen your time and proposed na dalawang araw sa isang linggo ka lang sasali sa pagtutor." Ira said.
