MY TUTOR

I groaned as I walked to the library.

Today is my tutor day. I sneered mentally.

'As if I didn't know all of the lessons.'

I rubbed my forehead. At least I will know her study habits and I might beat her as the smartest student.

I reached the library but I didn't went inside yet. I waited there for a few minutes and she finally arrived.

We got inside and went to an empty table.

She started tutoring me.

It's really boring but I started to enjoy when she was asking me questions.

She asked about a vocabulary word in Tagalog and of course, I answered it.

The librarian tapped her shoulder and that indicated that our session has ended.

'Ah! At last! I'd say I enjoyed this session, but I don't really like Miss Wilkinson's company. She's a plastic.

I went out without saying goodbye. She didn't deserve one, anyway.

I walked quickly and saw her with her best friend and Mia.

She's smiling at her.

'What a hypocrite.'

I can clearly see that she hates the girl, yet she's there smiling and talking to her like an angel.

I was about to walk away, when someone wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"Hey, man!" Danny greeted and let go of me.

I gave him a nod in response.

He slapped my back and dragged me.

'What the?!'

He reached the girls and I mentally fought my urge to scoff.

I've spent an hour listening to this Wilkinson girl, but really? I get to see her again today? I've had enough.

I gave them a nod and walked away. I want to go home and do my homeworks immediately. It might be an advantage because the later Delilah reach her home, the less time she has on studying.

I walked quickly, until I reached the bus.

"Very good!" Ms. Greene praised.

We were able to perform about our chosen historical event in the Philippines. And of course, they couldn't've done it without me.

Our performance was somehow succesful. Our teacher was amazed but gave us an A.

I want an A+. But I didn't have it. It's my groupmates fault. If they acted with more feelings, we could've achieved my dream grade.

My classed seemed fast because I enjoy it. Unfortunately, recess and lunch were slow.

I need not to explain why.

Few months has passed. More tutoring sessions and breaks seem to be more bearable. There is a time, when Wilkinson decided to strike a conversation with me.

"So, hi." she greeted showing me her 'famous' smile.

The plastic one.

I gave her a nod and continued reading a book.

At the corner of my eye, I can see her fighting the urge to frown and smiled wider.

'Ah, 'the kill with kindness' game.'

She tried to ask me a few questions and I replied with one word answers.

She stopped talking to me, since then.

There are good things that happened to me.

I was able to hold a longer conversation with Danny and Mia.

Our midterms came.

If I said I did good on the exam, it would be an understatement. I did my very best and I am confident that I will beat Wilkinson.

I will beat Delilah Wilkinson and I will be the smartest student in this school.

That's a promise to myself.

A/N: Dun dun dun! Watch out Delilah! You might lose your throne.

Ok, sorry for the late update. It's a bit short, but the excitement will start on the next chapter. I almost lost my motivation until someone messaged me.

Thanks Bookwormluves2read.

You inspired me.

Soooo, what do you think of Samson here?

a. He's too competitive

b. He's pathetic

c. It's normal to have a bit of ambition.
