My Chemistry Tutor

CHAPTER 7 : Why does she care so much

LISA'S POV

I lay down on my bed to relax a bit before I have to go to work in about 30 minutes. I was about to close my eyes for a small nap when I heard a notification on my phone

I turn to reach over to my nightstand and grab it to see a text from Jennie

I immediately sit up in bed. This is the first time she has ever texted me

I unlock my phone and go to my messages

Send me your work schedule so I can figure out study techniques you can do in small amounts of time

I sighed as I read the text. Why am I sighing? What the heck was I even expecting?

Hello to you too love

Shitt, I'm sorry. Hello Lisayah

The thought I'd Jennie cursing kind of turns me on, not going to lie. I don't think I have ever heard her curse

I guess that's going to be my mission next time she tutors me, get her to curse out loud

Do you have work today, Lisayah?

Unfortunately, I do

That's too bad 

Why is it, bad love? Did you have something hot planned for us to do today?;)

I think it's too early to cover the boiling point and melting point for chemistry. Maybe after a while more of going over the first few chapters

Oh my gosh, this girl is oblivious. It's kind of annoying at times, but also really adorable

I have to admit Jennie has a way of making me feel weak

She's nothing like I expected, that I learned from the first day she tutored me

Never did I ever imagine she would follow me outside, no one ever do that. And the way she said no, was a first too

Most people would be scared to talk to me like that, but Jennie had such sincerity in her face when she talked to me

The way she reassured me that she was going to help me do better, really meant a lot to me

And her goddamn pinkie swear was just too cute. I've never known anyone to do that

I guess she is one of a kind

So, are you going to give me your work schedule, Lisayah?

Oh shit, I was too caught up thinking about Jennie to text her back

I work from 4:39 pm to 10:00 pm. Monday to Tuesday and Thursday to Friday. On Wednesday I work from 5 pm to 10 pm. On Saturday and Sunday, I work from 12 pm to 8 pm

Holy cow, do you ever have time for yourself Lisayah?!

Time for myself? What is that?

Very funny, Lisa. But you need to have time for yourself, I don't want you getting stressed or burned out. Please take care of yourself first

Why does she care so much about me?

I check my phone and notice I need to head to work now

I text her bye and go outside to my old car

JENNIE'S POV

"I'm worried about Lisa!" I accidentally say out loud in the living room

"Who's Lisa?" Mom asked, poking her head out of the kitchen to look at me

"Oh, she's the girl I'm tutoring for chemistry. Remember I told you" I replied

"Yeah, you told us but why are you worried about her?" Dad asked walking into the kitchen

"She works too much and doesn't have time to do schoolwork" I explain

"Maybe, her family is going through financial problems" Dad suggested

Maybe he's right, that would explain Lisa telling me she needs the money

"Maybe you should talk to Lisa and try to convince her to do fewer hours. If needed, we could have a conversation with her parents and explain that Lisa is just a kid, she doesn't need to work so hard" Mom suggested

"You're right. I'll try talking to her about this next time. Love you guys" I said giving my parents a hug

I head up to my room and try to figure out a way how to include this all in the next time I tutor her

I wonder if she would take it well or badly? I have no idea

Lisa isn't exactly an open book, it's hard to tell what she is feeling

I just hope that I don't end up offending her. That's the last thing I would want to do

I just want to help her, I want to see her succeed

She deserves to see herself as the capable and strong-spirited person that I see in her
