"Very good, as usual, Vernice. You should really recite, lagi ka namang tama sa problems, eh," sabi ni Sir Leeteuk, kaya naman ay napunta sa akin ang tingin ng mga classmates ko.
Umalis nalang ako ng tingin, dahil ayaw ko na pinagtitinginan ako. Ano namang magaling dun? E kailangan naman talaga na magets namin yung lessons sa math, eh.
"Oh, Lucas, you should look at her as an example. Mag-aral ka ng mabuti. Hindi yung nakikita kita madalas sa cafeteria tuwing period ko. Tatlong beses lang yata kitang nakikita sa klase ko sa isang buwan, eh," sabi ni Sir Leeteuk, at nagtawanan naman sila.
Tinignan ko si Lucas, only to see him pouting. Hay. May pagkasiraulo kasi, eh.
"Paano ka papasa sa math kung hindi ka naman nakikinig? Halos darating ka lang sa quarter exams, sa math, eh." Sabi ni sir, at napapakunot ang noo ko.
A friend should help someone when at times of need. A friend should be there for the other when needed.
I remember his words nung chinat niya ako. Those words. How he treats his friends. How friendship means to him. Kung dineklara niya na magkaibigan na kami and I admit na oo, kailangan ko nga ng kahit na isang kaibigan and I know na kahit ganito siya ay he might be worth being a friend, why can't I? Why can't I help him?
"Sir, I can tutor him," I said, raising my hand, kaya naman ay agad na napunta sa akin ang tingin ng mga kaklase namin.
Tiniis ko ang lahat ng yun, hanggang sa ngumiti si sir. I could feel everyone's eyes on me at nag umpisa na rin ang bulong-bulungan, but I didn't care. Why would I start to care about my classmates when I didn't, from the start?
"Very well, then. Narinig mo yun, Lucas? Itututor ka daw ng pinakamatalino sa inyo sa math. Kaya umayos ka," sabi ni Sir Leeteuk, and I dropped my hand.
"Yiee, tae mo bulok, Yukhei."
"Hendery, wag mo akong tinutulad sayo,"
"Luh. Epal,"
"Tanga, makinig ka kasi sa lesson. Bat ako lang napagalitan?"
"Kasi ako kahit babagsakin, complete attendance. Ikaw babagsakin na nga, absenero pa-"
"SHUT UP!" Napasigaw nanaman ako, kaya natahimik silang lahat, even Sir Leeteuk na nagwriwrite ng equations sa harapan. "Um... sorry po, sir. They were just..."
"No, that's fine. I needed them to shut up, anyway."
