Eyes On Me, Baby (COMPLETED)

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Today was Wednesday and it meant that I had my Math class. My Math class was during Wednesdays and Fridays, both from 2:30 to 4:00PM. During the other days, I would just go to school kapag oras na ng mismong class, but with Math, I needed to go outside to study. Kapag sa kwarto ko lang ako nag-aral ay makaka-tulog ako. I needed to finish this class already, so that I could be done with this.

I did not like the thought of this subject hanging over my head.

I tried to study this all by myself, but I finally realized that when it came to Math, mas maganda na may nagtuturo sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi nagtuturo iyong professor ko. He'd just go to class to check attendance, tell us about his day, and then give assignments to be submitted next meeting.

Instead, I watch tutorials on Youtube tungkol sa subject ko. I finally found this channel kung saan magaling iyong nagtuturo. Tahimik akong nakikinig sa tinu-turo niya. After that, I tried to answer the example and then unpaused the video. I was pleased na pareho kami ng sagot. This was the third time in a row na tama ako.

Indeed, practice makes everything better.

After 15 minutes of continuous watching, I needed to rest my eyes. Pagsara ko ng laptop at pagtingin sa harapan ko ay nakita ko si Austin na papasok sa may café. He was looking at me. I was looking at him. I nodded at him to acknowledge that I saw him and then grabbed my notebook to check kung ano ang susunod na gagawin ko pagkatapos nito. Based on my schedule, I was supposed to meet up with George tungkol sa susunod na project niya since she asked me kung gusto ko bang tumulong.

"Hi."

Napa-tingin ako sa harapan ko nang marinig ko iyong boses ni Austin. "Hi," I replied.

Napa-tingin siya sa Math book na naka-patong sa tabi ng laptop ko. "Need help?" he asked, looking at the 3 pieces of yellow paper that I was using to solve the Math problems.

"No," I replied since the Youtube Math tutorial was working. I hoped my classmates knew about this channel. Walang tinuturo sa classroom iyong professor.

"Okay," he said, smiling a little. Tumalikod siya at pumunta sa counter para umorder. Nagsagot na akong muli ng exercises. Nang matapos ako ay tumayo na ako. It was already 2PM and I needed to walk to school already.

Lumabas ako at nang malapit na ako sa pinto ay napa-tingin ako sa gilid ko dahil nakita ko si Austin doon. Papa-labas na rin siya.

"Thank you," I said when he opened the door for me. Lumabas na ako at naglakad papunta sa pedestrian lane. He was walking just behind me. Pupunta rin siguro sa school. Nang huminto ako sa harap ng pedestrian lane ay naka-tingin ako roon sa may traffic lights. Kapag green na iyong sa sign na pwede na akong maglakad ay maglalakad ako nang mabilis. But even so, I still needed to look to my left and right to make sure na walang sasakyan na umaandar. It took me three tries before I was confident to do this alone.

And when the lights turned green, diretso akong naglakad.

"You can cross the streets on your own," biglang sabi ni Austin sa tabi ko. Papunta nga yata talaga siya sa SCA.

"Yes," I replied.

Tahimik akong naglakad papunta sa school. I swiped my ID as I got inside the campus. I heard Austin talking to the guards. They let them in because they knew him. Normally, kapag hindi estudyante ay hihingan pa ng valid ID and magsa-sign ka pa sa logbook.

Pagdating ko sa Math building ay pumasok na ako roon. I sat down on my spot at inilabas ko iyong Muji notebook and Energel 0.5mm ball needle point pen ko. My professor was on time this time. He asked the assignments to be passed kaya naman hinintay ko iyong mga papel na ipapasa mula sa likod ko. After that ay nagkwento siya tungkol sa buhay niya. I took notes because I bought this notebook for this subject and I wanted to use it.
