I hesitated before shaking my head no "Great! here's the packet!" She clapped her hands together and handed me the review packet it was pretty heavy it would take a long time to go over these. She thanks me and goes back to shuffling through her papers what do I do now?

I walked out the classroom holding the packet close to my chest the hallway wasn't as filled majority of students must be in the cafeteria it is lunchtime. I walked with my head low lost in my thoughts how can I let a football player know that he should be tutoring with me? when do I meet him? next class? alone? with his frie-

"Ohf-" I stumbled to the ground with a thud I heard a curse slip with a phone by my side. I looked up to see Rome beginning to stand he glanced back with an angry look on his eyes before they softened when we made eye contact. He cleared his throat and walked up to me.

Rome reached his hand out I looked at his hand and rose my hand to meet his. He pulled me up to my feet "You good?" I quickly nod "I ain't hurt you or anythin?" I shook my head 'no'. He blew air out of his nose I looked on the ground the packet scattered on the floor along with my backpack. A group of girls walked by giggling and whispering I frowned and looked down to see that Rome was still holding on to my hand.

I pulled my hand away tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I bent down and gathered up the scattered pages on the floor Rome picked up my backpack I stood up struggling to hold the papers correctly. "When do we start?" Rome asked I looked up confused.

"Studying. I was gonna ask you if the teacher filled you in but uh ya ran." My eyes widened 'stupid.' I said out loud in my head I was so determined to leave his car that the moment I was searching for answers he already had them for me.

I mumbled sorry he chuckled "You good." he handed me my bag "After S-sch-school." He turned his phone on and closed it sticking it back into his back pocket. "Lookin forward to it." Before I could give a response Rome had already walked away from the hallway. Why did I say today it just slipped out I wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible.

Why did I have to say yes...

Jazmin and I sat in our last class together the teacher was unfortunately absent so we had a substitute to fill in the class. But the question was where is the class? only a few students even bothered to show up today. Even Jazmin wanted to skip but once she saw me she came right back to class.

There wasn't much of a lesson plan so we didn't have much to do. I found myself sitting reading a book I Ms. Todd recommended me. It was a romance book about a girl who was mute falling for a delivery boy who thought he was also mute.

He knew that even though he wasn't mute that he wanted to be with her for the rest of their lives. The last bell suddenly rang Jazmin cheered kicking her feet off the table grabbing her airpods from her pocket sticking them in her ears.  She waved me goodbye I waved back and she walked out.
