"That boy doesn't deserve your tears." My mom walks into my room. "I know."

This is pretty pathetic.

I shouldn't be crying but here I am, balling my eyes out.

I really thought he was interested in me.

I did notice that it was a little bit weird at first which I should've taken into account. Now it's coming back to bite me in the butt.

"Please my love, stop crying." My mother comforts me, "Wipe your tears. Roman is going to be here any minute now." She says and I immediately leap up.

"What do you mean?"

"Roman is going to be here to tutor you, remember?" She furrows her eyebrows. "Ugh, can't you tell him to come tomorrow or something?" I ask and she shoots me a glare.

"Please?" I croak as she thinks about it for a minute.

"You need him to tutor you. Would it be better if you guys go down to the coffee shop and study there? Maybe you need to take a break from being in this environment." She suggests.

"Seriously, ma?" I give her a look and she nods.

I take a deep breathe heading to the closet, "Are you going to drop me or is he coming over here?" I question and she tells me that he's coming over to pick me up.

Why does he need to do that? I can just drive there by myself.

But it's fine either way. I like being in his car.

I put on a simple outfit for the coffee shop, a pullover and black sweatpants. I decide on wearing NB shoes.

"I'm leaving now." I tell my mom as I pack my binder into my bag. "Alright. I would tell you to be safe but I already know you're in good hands."

I head for the door. Upon opening it, I see Elias standing outside. There are a few buttons undone on his black shirt, revealing his tattooed chest. The sleeves of his dress are rolled up, revealing his tattooed arms and his curly hair is nicely done.

A slight crease in-between his eyebrows, but he looks handsome as always. To top it all up, he leans against his car with his hands tucked into his slacks.
