"I know they didn't touch my babies." our mom said yelling waving a knife around in her hand.
Me and Aaliyah just sat there in silence as they processed the news. "Y'all better beat they ass." our dad said making Mom hit his arm before nodding in agreement.
I checked my phone while everyone was talking about the fight.
Unknown number -you want help or not?
i don't want/need any -
-Too bad, meet at the library.
He said and I just left him on read and groaned getting the attention of my foster parents. "What's up?" My dad said causing all attention to be put on me.
"I have to get tutoured, by some random boy." I sighed rubbing my forehead feeling a upcoming headache.
At the library
The audacity of this motherfucker to text me to come to this library then come late.
"Lets get this over and done with." He approached the table taking a seat in front of me.
Chemistry was a hard subject for me, It just never clicked for me. I got out my books and notebook and he did the same.
"What does natural gas comprise of?" He said reading off of a notecard. I must have been absent when we were taught this or something.
"Methane." I slightly mumbled not wanting to be wrong or corrected. I never really took correction too well which is why i didn't want to do this tutoring thing.
"That's correct." He said and i nodded being glad that i didn't get such a simple question wrong.
We studied for awhile and he even offered to help with some of my class work, but the offer was quickly declined.
He started trying to joke with me and i gave in after awhile cause watching him try was sad as hell.
"Did your license get suspended for driving all these guys crazy?" He said and i laughed at his attempt at a pick up line. "You is getting no girls with that." I shook my head and he put his hand over his chest as if he took offense.
"I could pull any girl." He said and i laughed acting as if i didn't believe it but i know he could have.
"you laughing as if i couldn't pull you." He said and i rolled my eyes but he honestly probably could have.
"You can't." I shrugged and he nodded his head. "That sounds like a challenge." He said smiling hard as hell.
"Its not, But i have to get going." I said checking the time seeing it was way past my curfew.
"how are you getting home?" He asked me and I just shrugged. "It's not like i don't have legs Khalil." I shook my head packing up.
"You not walking at 12am." He said and i rolled my eyes. "Why not?" I said heading for the door but he followed behind me.
"It'll be rude if i let you." He said pulling me back by my book bag. "Don't worry i won't tell anyone." I said trying to walk but he still had a grip on my bag.
"Let me go." I sighed getting irritated, but being so happy that i'm learning to deal with my feelings better.
"Angel its one car ride." He said opening up his passenger door for me and putting me in before he got inside as well.
I told him my address and we drove in comfortable silence as i glared at him any chance i could get.
"You know i can see you right?" He asked forming a smile on his lips, now those are some lips i could kiss i thought probably zoning out again.
"Earth to Angel." He repeated a few times waving his hand in my face making me hit it down.
"I was trying to tell you that your home." He said and i looked out of the window seeing my foster parents waiting on the porch.
"Oh, thank you." I said reaching for the handle but he locked the door. "It's rude for me to let you open the door." He said getting up and walking around the car to open the door.
"Thanks again." I mumbled walking up the porch.
"Who was that boy?" My foster parents questioned but i just shrugged and walked inside.
