—— STUDY GROUP
Jake and I were study partners, since jake is a math genius and I work with him in the tech room. They paired me up with him. And it was terrible considering he checks my grades whenever.
"You had a C in math last week now you have an F, do you even pay attention." He put his head down in frustration as we've been going over each other's work for two hours.
I checked his data which was almost all correct but mine was completely wrong and we had to go through everything all over again. Holding in my anger, I started again.
just as I finished the first few problems, he checked it again and gave me a displeased look. "They're all wrong." and with that last sentence I blew.
"SHUT UP." I yelled with my hands gripping onto my scalp like my head was hurting. "I don't care anymore. Do I give a single shit about getting a good grade? Maybe, but when it comes to this. I give up." I slammed the notebook shut and was about to walk out the door.
but my wrist was pulled back, now my back was slammed against the table roughly. I could only roll my neck back to soothe the aching and throbbing pain.
"how could you give up when you didn't even try to understand, you have all those notes and you didn't bother to even check. Yoo." he remarked grimly,
I scoffed, "fuck those notes, just because I took it doesn't mean I can understand it. You're good at math did you ever think about helping me other than just looking at my paper and telling me I'm wrong?!"
"You're not my fucking boss, you're my study partner." I shouted tiredly.
he get a bad score on this project, I won't give a single damn.
now the room was hushed, our mouths shut tight. "I thought about getting along with you and setting our problems aside about the school video but I should've just got caught instead I let you blackmail me, make me feel anxious and worried." ...
"At least I wouldn't have had to waste my time with an imperious jerk like you if I just got caught." I spat before finally taking my leave from the house.
jake's trailed his eyes towards the ground, reflecting on himself. She was right, he wasn't there to help her out ever. His heart pinched in agony for the girl who he hoped in getting on good terms with.
"she's right, I am just an imperious jerk. And it took me this long realize." he ran upstairs to his room, slamming the door shut.
all over a project that only needed some dedication and team work, but obscured some deep feelings that the two hadn't talked out with each other. Especially the feelings Yoorim kept welling inside her.
jake was over at his computer, "that's what she wanted right? To not be my partner or just get caught. So that's what I'm going to give her, to set her free."
after this, after weeks and months of the two having to be stuck with each other. With Yoorim running errands in the computer room when she didn't have to, doing things for Jake when she didn't have to, she can just be free.
he pulled up the video, and just as it finished loading. He gave himself some time to think about it, but the words replayed in his head over and over again.
"I should've just got caught." the sentence, echoed and echoed over in his head for so long.
