Amy: "I'll get some tea ready."

"Alright. I'll be upstairs."

I go upstairs with Amy's drawing of me and go into my room.

"This place should be fine..."

I place the drawing near my bedside window.

"Perfect."

Before I could praise myself more for this position, Amy came into the room quite suddenly without knocking even once. She's my friend and all but she could knock once at least...

"Y-You scared me... you should've knocked first at least..."

Amy: "Why should I? I'm your best friend after all, right?"

"S-Still... you should've knocked once at least...'

She carried a tray of 2 cups filled with tea. She placed it on the table.

Amy: " Whatever, we've wasted enough time already. Let's start."

And here comes the part I'm not looking forward to the most,

Studying.

...

...

...

I think it's been 2 hours since we started and Amy has been very weird. Whenever I don't understand something, she gets up from her spot, walks to where I'm sitting, then sits behind me and uses my hands to write the answer. Like a puppet on a string. It's pretty awkward as she is very close...

Amy: "Here, this is the answer..."

Too close...

"Uh...! Amy?"

Amy: "Hm? What is it?"

"Don't you think you're being too close here...?" I said nervously.

Amy: "..."

I try to push her off me gently but... I don't think she liked that, because she's pretty much hugging me at this point!

Amy: "No."

"Hey...! I'm really uncomfortable right now... I'd appreciate it if you stopped!... I can right the answers myself too, you know?"

I think that made it worse because she in response, hugged me even tighter.

I don't know what to do so I just looked at my wall clock on the wall. 9:00 PM huh...

I was feeling thirsty so I drank from the now lukewarm tea.

Amy: "...!"

Amy stared at my cup for a second which made her grip loosen for a second... A second was more than I needed though as I quickly got out of her hug.

Amy: "!"

She reached for me again. I dodged this time.

"Amy! What's up with you?! You've been acting weird since you and Amy talked at the canteen!"

Amy: "..."

I don't think she plans on answering my questions anytime soon so I plan on ending our little "study session" if you can call it that anyways. I'm feeling tired now too. I don't know if tea is supposed to make you drowsy or it's the fact that it's 9:00 PM now that's making me feel sleepy.
