Phone Calls

excuses

When I got home I finally flopped on my bed exhausted from the day. For one I never wake up as Early as I did and secondly tutoring Mark is oddly tiring, tutoring in general was oddly tiring. As kicked of my shoes and crawled onto my bed properly I hugged my pillow processing my day. It was odd, since mark was acting weird today. He grabbed my face and complimented my acne patches but any other day who would call me a freak for wearing them even though I had no choice really. Then we walked to class together which really freaked me out. I get that I was kinda dragged but still what the fuck!?! Then he was staring at me alot too today and avoided be pretty much after maths. It was nice don't get me wrong since I don't personally like seeing him because I normally get beaten up.

I sighed trying to stop thinking of the the weirdo guy that also bullies me and went to get changed into something more comfortable. I put on some joggers and an old band t as I headed to my bathroom to wash my face but suddenly my phone rang and I walked back to my room and looked at my phone.

"Devil spawn"

Devil spawn? Who? Wait. DEVIL SPAWN?!?

I answered the phone.

"Hello? Mark? Why are you calling me??"

"I- uhhh? Need help with the homework you gave me?"

His answer wasn't honest. I could tell by the way he spoke.

"Are you prank calling me or something? You don't sound very honest"

"Why on earth would I prank call you? J just need help."

"What exactly do you need help with, I gave you all that you could ever need to write it plus It don't have to be long just enough for me to see if your ability."

"Yeah I get that dumbass I just- i- I need help wiiiithh the answering part?"

"The answering part?"

"Yes the answering part, the part where you answer the question you know starting."

"I- okay the best way to start is to just reword the question and turn it into an introduction, I've done an example on the paper I gave you."

The line went silent for a second and all I could hear was some paper rummaging around.

"Oooooh! That makes so much sense now."

I couldn't help but laugh at him on the otherside of the phone.

"Who you laughing at? I don't think it good for you to laugh at you students"

More laughter kinda erupted from me and tried to choke it down.

"Is that all you needed Mark?" I held my breath slightly as I tried to calm down.

"I uh- yeah technically-"

"Cool I'm hanging up then since I need to do stuff"

"I- WAIT-"

I hung up. It was nice to know that he's actually putting effort in this and I smiled at the brief phone call that we had. I wen back into my bathroom to clean my face and I took my patches of and washed my face and grabbed my sensitive skin face wash. Just as I went to wash my face my phone rang again.
