He didn't appear in school today. Well, I should be happy about it. On the other hand, he said he'd give me tutoring again today, twice a week. I swallowed, and I hated that I had to text him about it, but my grades were more important.

You
Where r u?

Weird guy
Why? U miss me?

I sighed. Of course, he can't for once be serious.

You
No, but about after school. You said you'd help me today

Weird guy
And I will. U see when you come home I will already wait for you

You
Don't touch anything!

Weird guy
Y? Cuz you have secrets in there?

You
No, whatever

I turned my phone off. He really makes it look like we've known each other for quite a while. He's way too open to even visit my house on his own.

I arrived at my house, as my dad exited just in that moment. "Did he arrive already?" I questioned quite stressed. "Who? I dunno, your mom let someone in." I nodded, going up the stairs. I started to tie my hair up since that is what I usually do when coming home.. No, he might think I did it for him. I quickly let them fall back down, opening the door.

He was laying on his stomach in my bed, being on his phone. Who allowed to make himself feel comfortable? "You're back?" He sat up, turning his phone off. "You weren't in school, but have time to come. In that case, you can't be sick." I moody threw my bag onto the floor. "Hm, it was some family stuff," he simply answered. "It was quite pleasing not having someone bother you the whole day," I proundly spoke. "Be honest. It must have been boring." He moved forward to the edge of the bed. "Well, whatever, I missed you." He suddenly grabbed my hand as he pulled me to stand in between his legs. He started to wrap his arms around my torso as his head rested against my stomach. If he continues with those acts, I might not be able to defend myself anymore.

He was really for real when he said body contact helps him for motivation. "Does your girlfriend know you are doing this?" He backed off, looking up at me, sliding down his hands to hold onto my waist. "We're friends. What is there she could be mad about?" He questioned. I laid my hands on top of his, pulling them away. "Friends don't do that," I told him. "Tell me to break up with her, and we could be more than that," he suggested. Unbelievable. "No thanks, I pass." I went to sit down.
"How uncooperative," he mumbled.

"And this time, please sit further away," I commented. "It's not my fault that your desk is so small. If you don't like it you could come to my house next time." I don't know much about him, but I know that every relationship he ever had with a girl stayed in school and no where else. I don't know if he went home with them, but no girl was ever taken to his.

I locked eyes with him, but he seemed like he meant his words dead serious.

We finished up as he suddenly did a complete topic switch. "My mom wants me to take over her company," I faced him. "That's why I didn't come to school today. She wanted me to meet some people and have dinner with them." I blinked several times. "Why are you telling me this?" I tilted my head, shifting the direction of my body towards him.
"Isn't this what friends do? Opening up?" Am now supposed to be his therapist? Nevertheless, I somehow didn't mind it that much. "Don't you have other friends too?" I questioned. "They're only with me cause they want me to always pay," he explained. "And you just play along?" I raised my eyebrows. "I told you, I like giving people what they want. Seeing how far they'd go and when they realise it's enough and start ignoring me." I frowned in confusion.
"That does not sound like fun at all to me," I murmured. "With you, it's different anyway. You're basically the one that wants to see how far I'd go. I find it really interesting to see how you slowly give in, until you finally won't push me away no more." He gently took my wrist, taking the hair tie off.
