Tutoring My Bully // J.G.

Chapter 24

Edited

Last chapter:

Should I tell him that I forgive him?

Should I wait?

I have to say something quick so I can say something back to him...

I've made up my mind...

JuJu's POV

"Umm.. I've kinda been thinking... Maybe we could be friends..?" I said, the last part sounding more like a question.

"Wait. Does that mean..."

I interrupted him.

"Yes. It means that... I forgive you. I've been thinking about it lately and thought that maybe we should start over." I said giving him a small smile.

He looked at me with the biggest smile on his face. He then hugged me, picked me up and spun me around saying, "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!"

It was actually pretty cute how excited and happy he was.

I laughed, "Yeah, no big deal.... You can put me down now." I said, a smile still evident on my face.

"Oh, right, sorry." He said, putting me down back on the floor.

We finally got to the library and walked to the printers, near the librarians desk.

I grabbed my papers and Jack did the same. Since we are friends now, I waited for him before walking out of the library, just to try to get used to becoming closer to him as a friend.

Once all of his papers printed out we walked back, shoulder to shoulder. He smiled and I smiled back.

"So, what'd you write yours about?" I asked, trying to start a conversation.

"I wrote about my family, friends and all the great things that happened in my life."

"What about the bad things?" I asked again.

"I didn't think the bad things really mattered as long as the good things that happened in my life made me happier than the bad things that made me sad. Someone once told me, 'Be happy... Not because everything is good but because you can see the good in everything.'" He responded looking me in the eyes.

I just froze from that quote for a second. It actually made me feel really happy.

"Wow... That's... Great." I said then laughed a little. "I have a quote on my wall in my living room and it says, 'It takes a strong person to say sorry, and an even stronger person to forgive.' That quote kind of helped me forgive you. If I never had that on my wall, I probably wouldn't have believed in second chances. I thought that I needed to be stronger and just forgive." I said, making eye contact with him.

"Wow really?" He asked.

I nodded and smiled.

"I'm glad you have that on your wall. Because if it weren't for that quote, we would've never been friends. I mean even though you just forgave me now... I'm still happy we're friends."

I smiled and blushed a little.

"I'm glad I forgave you." I responded.

"So, what's yours about, if it's okay for me to ask."Jack said.

"Umm... Just about my life and struggles. Not much really." I lied. There was so many things in my essay that I just didn't want to tell him.

"Cool."

We finally got to the classroom and we sat back at our desk spots.

"Hey." Matt whispered when he saw me walk in.

I smiled, "Hey. I just went to print out my essay."

"You're a fast typer... Or maybe I'm just a slow typer. Like a t-Rex. Wait, can a t-Rex type? Because I'm pretty sure they can't even do a push up." He said and I laughed.

"How would I know? I'm not a billion years old." I said while still laughing.

He smiled and then I grabbed my book from under my desk.

When I looked back up his face was really close to mine and we were looking into each others eyes until, he moved his head towards the side of my face to whisper something to me.

"You have a really cute laugh." He said quietly so no one else could hear. I blushed and turned my head so he wouldn't see even though he probably did.

I looked back at him and he was smiling. I smiled back and then went back to reading my book for the next 10 minutes.

Before I started reading, I looked behind me to see what time it was but instead I saw Jack Gilinsky clenching his jaw. He looked mad. I wonder what Johnson did to piss him off.

--------

Class was finally over and I was on my way to second hour. I use the same binder for this class so I actually didn't need to walk to my locker. Instead, I walked with Matt to his locker since he's in the same class as me.

Once he got his books we walked to second hour together and I saw Hannah and smiled. So far this day is going pretty great.

I hope nothing bad happens to ruin my mood...
