Mr. Professor and I

"Nag review ka ba, Sovi?" Bella asked me. She looks worried for me, akala n'ya siguro hindi ako nag aral sa Calculus. 

"Yes. Don't worry" I assure her and tap her shoulder.

Today is our finals. I need to pass all the subjects especially Calculus. Kailangan kong mapasa 'to ayaw kong masayang ang lahat ng tinuro sa'kin ni Mr. Mason lalo na ang goal ko ay maka 1 sa subject n'ya. I can do it! Go Sovi para kay, sir!

We were already sitting in our designated chairs. Our chairs are two-seat apart talagang hindi ka makakakopya sa katabi mo. I released the things I needed for my exam sinigurado ko din na madami akong extra na gamit para incase na may mangyari meron pa 'kong magamit.

Our finals are now done. Maghihintay nalang kami ng result na ilalabas bukas sa school bulletin board. I'm nervous. Paano kung bagsak padin ako sa Calculus? masasayang lahat ng pagod at effort namin ni sir. Wala nadin akong karapatan na gustuhin s'ya kasi di ko natupad yung sinabi ko sakanya. Shet! Nakakahiya!

"Sovi!!!!" Jason shouted when he saw me. Nasa tapat s'ya ng bulletin board ngayon. Mukhang tinignan n'ya na ang result ng finals namin.

I immediately asked, "What?! Why?!" Kinakabahan na ako. Hindi ba ako nakapasa? I can't believe it! Gosh!

I slowly walked towards the board to see the result. When I was across the board I close my eyes ayaw kong makita agad ang resulta ko so I slowly opened it para hindi ako mabigla.

20. Garcia, Sofia Victoria - 1.25

I was shocked! I did it! OMG!!! My friends are happy too and they congratulate me. I just hugged them and I suddenly run. Why I'm running? I don't need to run! but I'm excited, I really am!

Papunta ako ngayon sa faculty office ni Mr. Mason para ibalita sakanya yung result ko! I'm in front of his faculty now. I knocked twice before entering his office. I saw him seated in his swivel chair while his facing his laptop. I immediately go to his front. I can't wait to inform him!

"What Ms. Garcia? Why are you here?" he asked not looking at me. Ms. Garcia ang tinawag n'ya sa'kin? why? I thought he will just call me in my first name. His acting weird now!

"Sir I did it" I loudly said while smiling so big. 

"I know" he simply said. Hindi ba s'ya masaya? I thought he will be happy.

"How? Paano mo nalaman?" I asked. He's not smiling! He's not happy! Why?!

"Ako professor mo sa Calculus right? Ako ang unang nakaalam... kasi ako din ang nag compute ng grades n'yo" he explained. He looks annoyed! ayaw n'ya ba akong makita? nakakahiya ka Sovi!

"Ah okay..." my smile slowly faded hindi na ako makapagsalita pa.

"Ayun lang ba? Ms. Garcia?" he asked nakatingin s'ya ngayon sa'kin! walang emosyon ang kanyang mukha! I think he really doesn't care about me!

"Yes... sir"

"Then you may go now" sabay tingin ulit sa laptop n'ya.

I went out to his office. Pinaalis n'ya ako ng ganun ganun lang? I think he's just busy. Ayaw n'ya lang siguro magpaistorbo! I understand!
