831 - I Love You

10. Worth of 70?

"I am sooo nervous!" I repeated for a hundredth time. That day was the first day of the first exams and the fact that I wouldn't be sleeping during the exam for the first time made me super nervous.

"You studied for a month, it will be okay," Ghost patted my shoulder.

"I will throw up," I grabbed his slender arm with my cold hands, "what if I forget everything?"

Ghost chuckled, "what an imagination!"

"Don't laugh!" I scolded him, "if I cannot pass it, I will change you for a better tutor!"

He nodded wholeheartedly, "please do so."

I punched his arm very lightly, thanks to him I was less nervous. I took a one last deep breath and followed him to the class.

After the exam, Ghost found me on the rooftop.

"How was it?" he asked cautiously.

"Unfortunately," I looked at him with sad eyes, "you can't get rid of me!" I started laughing while encircling my arms around his neck, jumping up and down.

After the initial shock, he stopped me and pushed me a little to see my face, "it means it was okay?"

"Yes!" I pinched his cheeks, "I have only two blank questions!" I was overjoyed as now it was proven that I had potential.

Ghost saved himself from my grip but smiled sweetly, "great, now only five subjects left!"

"Sh*t!"

***

Very surprisingly (in a pleasant way), I managed to do the other two exams. I was on cloud nine with happiness but I guess I started the celebrations a bit early as the fourth exam was math and I couldn't even do the half of it. Thanks God, at least the exam was on the last class so that I could just rush out of the school with my sad heart.

Returning from the school back to home, I just sat at the rooftop as I wasn't on the mood to study for the next exam. Suddenly, I lost all my hope for graduation.

"Why are you sitting out?"

I didn't move or reply. I was very heartbroken so I wanted to be alone.

"Was it that bad?" Ghost didn't let me alone; he came and sat next to me but he wasn't pushy.

I nodded, still not looking at him as I was ashamed. Leaving aside the rooftop sessions, even when he was injured, he helped me to study math ignoring his pain, but at the end, I couldn't even do the half of the test.

He punched my arm lightly, "so what? You can't be a math genius in a few weeks, you know," he said encouragingly.

I raised my eyes to look at his. There was nothing other than understanding and sympathy in his crystal clear eyes. I felt as if I was drawn into them, so I cleared my throat to distract my attention from the enchanting light brown orbs.

"What kind of coaxing is this? You didn't even give me a candy so I still feel worthless," I joked with a light smile.

Ghost nodded a few times in a serious expression. A second later, he took out a pile of sticky notes and a pen from his bag. Without showing me, he scribbled something short and stick it to my chest.

I looked at the note which was written seventy. "What's that?" I asked with a frown.

"You are NOT worthless, you have the worth of seventy now," he said with a teasing smile.

"What the..." I took off the note wigwagging to him, "seventy? A mere seventy? Give me a hundred!" I tried to be serious but the last part of my words broke into a laughter.

His eyes widened, "a hundred?! I am sorry but you are not a genius!"

I grabbed his ear lightly, "giving me a hundred or not?" I asked as if threatening him.

"I'll give....I'll give..." he started to scribble random numbers and stick on me one after another with a huge grin painted on his face.

God... he was so beautiful when he smiled...

"Enough?" he asked with an innocent expression.

I noticed that my upper body was all covered with orange notes, a soft chuckle escaped from my lips, actually he was very fun.

"How much do I worth now?"

"Hmm," he rubbed his chin, "it should be around five hundred, happy?"

"Very happy, so I will buy you dinner tonight." I needed to reward him, right?

"Fair enough."

Thanks to Ghost, my mood lifted greatly and I found the motivation to study for the remaining exams. At the end, I just failed math and English. Hehe, I told you I was a genius!

Ouch! Okay... I admit that without Ghost, it wouldn't be possible, happy?
