Today. Is. Hell.
It's the day the first quarter exam results come out!!!
<(00)>
I didn't really review that much!! Every time I hold a book, I fall asleep, and lectures sound like lullabies to me, swear!! I think books are more effective as sleeping pills.
"Perez, Alys Zyril," Ma'am called.
It felt like I had iron balls chained to my feet.
I. Can't. Walk.
Even though I was totally unwilling, I still took my paper.
F.
A bold, screaming F written in red marker.
I'm so dead. Again. Mommy's going to kill me.
Good thing Daddy is chill about this stuff.
But later, Mommy might confiscate my video game consoles (._.)
"Give me that," Aya suddenly snatched my paper and laughed.
"I knew it, we're soulmates, Besh! Can you believe we both got an F?"
I sighed. Maybe they're right. Birds of the same feathers flock together. What if I start hanging out with Drake—would I get smarter? Mwahaha!
I snatched my paper back from her, "you're crazy. And you're happy we both failed? Tss."
We went quiet until Ma'am spoke again.
"So all of you have received your papers. And by the looks of it, some of you would need to take tutoring sessions every afternoon. It will start tomorrow afternoon so better tell your parents about this. Those who got an F will attend the sessions, and those who got an A will be the tutors. Is that clear?"
Double Kill.
Triple Kill.
First Blood.
I'm in again!! Why am I not even surprised anymore?? I've been in this situation every year =_=
If only Sheen would be my tutor—but nope! I always get paired with the nerdy ones. Psh. What a curse.
"I will post the pairings this afternoon. And also, I will place the waiver your parents need to sign for the tutorials," Ma'am added. Sigh. I'm doomed. "Get your Math books."
We got the spawn-of-the-devil Math book and started the lesson.
Seriously, why is life so unfair? I'm already bad at Science and English, and now Math too?? What am I even good at?? Life's unfair!! Good thing I'm at least pretty.
The whole day ended with me staring blankly. Why is it that nothing ever enters my brain? No wonder my grades are sinking. How did I even make it to fourth year? Hehehe.
"Besh, let's check the list already. Mehehe. I'm excited," Aya said, laughing. Crazy girl. =_= It's her hobby to annoy her tutors. It's like a tradition for her. So far, they all end up quitting.
We went to the bulletin board.
"Wahaha!!" Aya said, slapping my arm. I'll probably get a bruise later.
"Can you believe it? Your tutor is Drake! Grabe! A match made in heaven?"
I didn't even react and just looked for Aya's name...
"AND WHY IS SHEEN MY LOVES YOUR TUTOR???"
Aya froze and then...
"Wahaha! CB's my tutor. Nice, nice," she said with a devilish smile. Uh-oh. She's going to bully Sheen. =___=
After that, we went home. I had Daddy sign the waiver. Hehe. I'm Daddy's girl.
Thank goodness I have him wrapped around my finger. That's why I love him so much.
Since tutorials start tomorrow, I tried reading a book. I don't want that Drake to call me stupid!! I still have pride, you know!!
Trigonometry
gulp
The logarithmic functions of each @#&(@%^%@(!)@)!#^$!)*@&#(

The Next Day...
"Hey, Besh. Wazzup, wazzup?"
Aya and I started talking. Apparently, Tita scolded her because for the nth time, we're in tutorials again together! Her excuse to Tita? They're saving money because tutorials are free anyway!
Tita looked like she was about to have a heart attack when she heard that. Crazy girl.
During break time, Kei and her group approached us.
Uh-oh. (._.)
"Look who's here," she said to her clique.
Aya just rolled her eyes, "boring. You're not the leads in Mean Girls, Miss Popular. Drop the attitude."
Kei flushed in anger but kept her poise, of course.
"Miss-whoever-you---"
"Aya. My name is Aya," she said while munching fries with her mouth wide open!
Kei looked disgusted, "you're gross."
Aya smiled, "I know, and thank you!"
Kei shook her head. "Losers. Let's go, girls. No use talking to wannabes like these. And by the way, don't you dare try to seduce Drake during your tutorials. Who knows what you're capable of," she smirked.
My ears twitched at what I heard,
"Why would I seduce Drake Palma? He's already my boyfriend," I said with a smug face. Huh! Beat that, Kei! I said it loud enough for the other Drake fan girls to hear. Hopefully I survive until the tutorials! (._.)
She gave me a fake smile, "do you think I'd believe that, sweetie? I'm not that stupid."
I stood up and slammed the table, "a-at the acquaintance party! Yes! He's my date at the acquaintance party!!"
She and her minions laughed. Real Mean Girls wannabes!!
"Okay then, Miss Pathetic. Show us," she said before walking away.
I looked at Aya, "haay, Besh. Why did you even talk back to those Mean Girls? Tss."
"They crossed the line!! Dignity is all I have left. My pride? Long gone. I have to defend what's left!!"
Aya looked at me, "good luck. Now how are you going to tell that to your 'boyfriend'?" she said, pointing to Drake, who was buying cola and a burger.
I gulped. "Bahala na. Hehehe."
"Tss. I thought you only sometimes don't use your brain—turns out, it's most of the time," she said while finishing her fries.
"Let's go to the room already."
As we walked, girls were eyeing us. Probably because of what I said earlier. Tss. Let them not believe it. Huh! They'll see at the Acquaintance Party!!

Fast Forward...
"So that was it, class dismissed!"
Other students stretched and packed up to go home—but Aya and I?
We still had tutorial sessions. (._.)
I'm nervous!!
Muh-meeeee!!
Names were being called because apparently, we're all going to be taught in different places.
Sigh. A long afternoon awaits us.

Aya's Point of View
Library. Nice nice.
No one will see what I'll do here. Mehehe twinkling eyes
poke poke
"Aya?"
poke poke
"Aya?"
He stopped poking me and sat beside me.
Oh, it's CB? Should I keep pretending to be asleep?
I thought he'd leave already! What the heck!! He's so persistent!!
I've been fake-sleeping for 15 minutes now!!
Then he said, "it's cold in here," then stood and placed his coat over me.
I suddenly stood up, making him fall to the floor.
"Y-you were awake all along…" he stammered.
I grabbed my books and slammed them on the table,
"Start teaching me."

Alys' Point of View
gulp
super gulp
(....)
"Uh? Drake?"
He looked at me, but I couldn't speak.
Come on, Alys?? Where did your tongue go??
How many times have I called him and not spoken? Uh, five times?
On the sixth time, he finally turned and looked at me.
That piercing stare O
"Ah-eh.. so uhm.. acquaintance? Uh. Eh. Hehe. Uhm.."
That's all I could say while staring at him!
Good thing we were sitting—otherwise, my knees would've turned into jelly and I'd be on the floor again!!
"No," he said, and went back to writing.
No?
As in "no, you're not a loser" like Kei said?
No?
As in DBSK won't reunite anymore??
No?
As in Sheen and Kei won't get back together???
Or no?
As in I'm not pretty??
What kind of "no" was that???
I scooted closer and poked him,
"Uhm, no as in?"
Then I started listing all the meanings I could think of.
I didn't want him to think I was assuming things, so I asked just to be sure!! Better safe than sorry!!
"Sht," he said,
"I. won't. go. to. that. party."
Then he stood up.
Why did that hurt so much?

Drake's (boring) Point of View
"Uh? Drake?"
I looked because she had been calling me for a while now. What's up with this girl?
On the sixth time, I finally turned and looked at her.
"Ah-eh.. so uhm.. acquaintance? Uh. Eh. Hehe. Uhm.."
sigh
Stupid girl.
Is this the girl Papa wants for me? She sounds like she has a speech defect.
"No," I said.
Kat's birthday is on that day.
Besides, what would I even do at that party?
Sleep?
What should I give Kat? A book? A ring maybe? A teddy bear?
She moved closer and poked me again,
"Uhm, no as in?" Then started listing all these weird things. Alien language.
"Sht," I said.
Didn't want to curse in front of a girl but she was so confusing.
"I. won't. go. to. that. party."
Then I stood up.
She should be able to finish the reviewer I made.
Is Papa home yet?
We still have to talk about Kat.
