Just be my lover

                                    

                                          
Prieto, Margarita Adriana – 4.0
                          
I almost jumped for joy when I saw my final grade in Constitution. Sa sobrang kapalpakan ko dito sa subject na 'to di ko in-eexpect na papasa pa ako dito. Not to mention, the amount of hatred the Prof has for me. Then now, I got a high grade which is seriously unexpected and out of this world but who am I to complain, right? I should feel thankful.
                          
"Baby, what did you get? Ok ba?" approach sa akin ni Ricci right after the class ended and I show him my grade. Alam nya kung anong kaba yung naramdaman ko once we found out that we're seeing our final grades today. I signaled a thumbs up and motioned for him to wait for me outside dahil may kailangan ako pasalamatan at kausapin.
                          
Ricci nodded and waited just outside the door while I moved closer to the desk. Nagaayos ng gamit si Terror Prof at nagulat siyang napatingin sa akin when I finally reached in front of her.
                          
"Hi Miss," I greeted with a shy smile. She raised her eyebrows so I proceeded to continue. "This is so unexpected po, thank you for the high grade. To be honest, di ko po alam kung paano ko kayo mapapasalamatan for giving me another chance to prove myself to you. Thank you po talaga. Perhaps a coffee?" I offered at wala na akong pake kung mukha na akong tanga dito na kung anu-ano ang pinagsasabi. I am just so happy!
                          
But TP just shook her head and smirked. "You don't need to thank me, Ms. Prieto. I know you did your best in this subject and I know we had a rough start but you must know that you deserve that grade. Your last paper was fantastic. It was well-researched and well-written. Keep up the good work, alright?"
                          
Hay. Nababaliw na ata ako. Yung mga taong may ayaw sa akin nung una biglang sobrang love na ako ngayon. Naalog ata ang mundo at umayon sa akin. But siguro totoo ngang everything happens for a reason at unti-unti nang nagbabago ang ikot ng buhay ko. 
                          
Joke, drama ko talaga.
                          
"Ay thank you po talaga. Lalo na po sa second chance. Sorry po ulit if lagi po namin kayo ginugulo ni Ricci." I curtsied at paamba nang papunta sa pinto para makaalis na.
                          
TP just smiled. "I hope you and Rivero don't make any distractions on other classes, Ms. Prieto. Di lahat ng Prof kasing bait ko ha." she winked which made me laugh.
                          
I nodded. Oo sige na, napatawad na kita.                                     
                          
When I got out of the room, bigla namang tumingin si Ricci sa akin & straightened his posture pag approach ko. He gave me a questioning look and I gave him a rewarding smile.
                          
"Ikaw ba, what grade did you get?"
                          
He gave me a mischievous smile. "5.0."
                          
My eyes widened! Grabe, ang daya! Hayup! He got the perfect grade?!
                          
"Sabi sa'yo babe e, crush talaga ako nung matandang dalaga na yun!"

I grabbed another set of towels and blue Gatorade for Dylan. It's already the 3rd quarter of their game at the pre-season tournament of his basketball clinic at abot langit ang pagaalala ko sa kanya. Pawis at pagod na ang kapatid ko, I can tell by the way he's trying to catch his breath kaya naman here I am demanding another half time para makainom at makapagpahinga naman si Dylan kahit ilang minutes lang.
                          
"Babe, calm down nga! Hindi mo pwedeng ipahinto yung game magagalit yung Coach! Ano ka ba," Ricci scolded me while we're at the bleachers of our brothers' team. Pinayagan kami ng coach nila dito sa bench mag-stay dahil lagi naman daw nya kami nakikita sa trainings at mej ka-close pala ng mga Rivero si Coach.
                          
"Kahit na. Kita mo naman pagod na pagod na si Dylan. Kahit 2 minutes lang Cci. Sige na please, babe? Kailangan ko siya punasan!"
                          
"Ay babe, ang kulit. Di nga pwede! It depends on Coach if he wanted to stop the game. Wait ka lang okay? Magbbreak time na rin yan."
