Oh My Player!

Chapter 3 - The First Tutoring

The class ended, I took my phone to ask Mali if she was coming with me home or not, that's when I saw a text from Narin saying to meet him at is room after class. Already? I wasn't prepared. Oh, what the hell am I thinking, is straight as it can be, I just need to treat him like the friend he is. I can do it. I took my phone and answered, "I'll be there in ten, see ya".

I also sent a text to Mali saying I was going to Narin's room for tutoring, and she just sent me a smile. I walked alone until the dorm lost in my own thoughts, I was so lost that I didn't even notice I ran into Kantima, my senior.

-Hey, Tawin?

-Oh, P'Kantima hello! I'm sorry I didn't see you.

-It's okay. Is everything alright?

-Yes, I'm on my way to tutoring a friend. Damn it, I'm already late! It was nice to see you P' see ya!

I waved her goodbye, and she did the same. P'Kantima is so nice to me and always helps me when I need. But right now, I must focus on what is about to happen...

I knocked at the door, he opened and was already wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. He told me to get in and so I did, we sat at the little table he had next to his bed. I got to say his room is way cleaner than what I expected.

-So where do we start? – I asked him.

-How about these exercises? I swear I tried to resolve them by using the formulas that the teacher gave us, but I couldn't.

-It's okay, that's why I'm here and to be honest, sometimes the formulas they give us don't work for everybody.

I explained the exercise and left him doing by himself as I started to do my own homework. We were like this for hours, I explained, and he would do it, it was so normal, I completely forgot that I was with him, until...

-I'm hungry, let's eat something and then continue. – he said it putting his arm around me.

That caught my attention immediately, I wasn't expecting that. I nod my head and he suggested for us to go to the convenience store next to the dorm. He talked to me all the way like we've done this for a long time.

-I must confess at the beginning I was a little bit...hmm how to say hesitant? Maybe, to talk to you. – he said.

-Why? Do I seem like a person who is difficult to talk to? I should say that about you, you always have a serious face on you. – I was so comfortable speaking to him that I didn't notice what I said.

-Really? I am sorry I didn't even notice that. That is my resting face, you on the contrary, you are always in your own world, I kept wondering if I could ask you to teach me.

-I guess we were both wrong about each other, the looks of a person may not be what she actually is. - I said.

-You're right. Now we can know each other better what do you think?

He asked me that with a little smile in his face, I nodded my head in agreement and we head our way to the convenience store. He bought a lot of things for us to eat, and we went back to his room. After eating we went back to work, we didn't notice the hours passing between teaching and laughing at each other.

-Well, for today that's it. I'm going back to my room. See you tomorrow. – I said as I got up to leave.

-Wait. Tomorrow, do you want a ride to the Uni? We are going on the same way so if you want, I can take you. That if you're not afraid of riding a motorbike.

I looked at him thinking if he was serious.

-Hey, we are friends so that's not a problem, and tomorrow it's also the first day of that thing for the contest so we can come back together also. – he continued.

Of course, we are friends! Why do I sound disappointed by that?

-Okay, see you tomorrow morning then.

Got to my room with a strange feeling inside me, and I think I am not the only one feeling like that, or am I? Never mind. As he said we are only friends, but why I don't feel like that? I kept talking to myself inside my room, I kept saying that he was just a friend and that's it, but I found that hard to believe myself.
