Farrah

“Hey, are you busy?” Ybrahim knocked on my door.

“Bakit?” I asked.

“I have great news for you, Farrah.”

“Pasok ka,” I let him in.

“Ano ‘yun?”

“Mr. Cabrera announced a remedial exam for those who didn’t pass the exam.” A wide smile was plastered on my lips. I was so happy, I hugged him— and he hugged me back.

When I realized what I was doing a few minutes after, I decided to let go of him and laugh awkwardly.

“Adrenaline rush, hehe.” Panggagaya ko sa linya niya.

“Kailan nga pala?” Tanong ko.

“Bukas.”

Ah, shít. Ganun kabilis? Paano ako nito matututo kung isang chapter sa libro namin ay inaabot ako ng dalawa hanggang tatlong oras? Paano ko mamadaliin ‘to?

“Anong plano mo?” Ybrahim suddenly spoke.

“Magreview nang magreview nang magreview.” I smiled.

As if I have a choice. Either I’ll pass this exam, or I’ll pass away because of my dad’s rage.

“Pwede akong tutor, babygirl.” He winked at me.

“Magkano?” I arched my brows, still smiling at him.

“I say... Vitamilk every meryenda.”

I raised my thumbs up, “Deal.”

We started with the basics, Ybrahim was so patient to teach me this course. Wala akong gaanong natututunan sa prof namin dahil hindi ito nagtuturo, practical reading lang ang ginagawa namin kapag pumupunta siya, recitation nang walang discussion. We’re basically self-studying, something I’m not really good at. Kailangan kasing ituro sa akin nang paulit-ulit bago ko maintindihan ang pinag-aaralan.

Mahirap mag-self study kapag hindi ka ganon ka-gifted para ma-gets ang isang topic sa isang pasadang basahin lamang.

“Did you get it?” Ybrahim asked, pointing at the stroke written in the book.

“Yep, hindi na masyadong komplikado.” I said.

“I told you, you could always ask for help.” He replied.

A day has passed and I was confident that I’ll be doing good for the next day.

“Uy nagkita tayo rito!” Simon raised his hand, trying to give me a high five.

“Fûck off.” I rolled my eyes.

“Bakit ka na naman high blood sa akin?” He pouted.

“After what you did, sa tingin mo maaliwalas ang aura ko sa’yo?”

“Syempre.” Ugh, he’s hopeless.

“Kumusta ang exam? Medyo nahirapan ako pero alam kong mapapasa ko.” He proudly bragged.

“Ayos lang,” I replied.

The exam was indeed hard but I managed to answer with confidence. Ybrahim did a good job at teaching me yesterday. Eventually, the exam looks simpler than it seems to be.

“Ilalabas din daw ang results agad, anim lang naman tayong nag-remedial kaya mabilis lang ma-check ni Mr. Cabrera.” Simon said.

“Okay, I’ll wait for it.” I said.
