Schools now over and me and Enzo are about to walk out of the school when I remembered I have to tutor today.

I groan and rub my head out of frustration. Enzo looks my way while asking me what's wrong.

"Nothing just that when Ms. Johnson asked to talk to me earlier, it was about tutoring a kid named Cameron González because he's failing her class." I explain.

"When do you have to tutor him?" I look at my watch then at the Library which is down the hall.

"Now." He groans and mumbles something under his breath before nodding.

"Alright. I'll text you later okay." I say okay and hug him. My arms wrapped around his torso and his arms wrapped around my shoulders.

We break up after a few minutes and I watch him leave through the doors and enter his car. He drives out the lot and now I'm left be myself.

I sigh and make my way to the library, debating if I should just ditch the kid and go home to hop in my bed.

If I'm being honest here, I don't need them extra credit points but me knowing me, I'm going to take something if it helps my grades.

I open the library door and look around for the brunette headed baseball player. I spot him near the back sitting at a desk with papers around him.

When I get to the table, his eye's immediately go to me and he smirks. With a raised brow I pull the chair out and sit down.

"What do you need help on?" Is the first thing I say. I just want to get this studying done so I can go home.

"What's with the attitude, lady bug?" He speaks teasingly as his eyes roam my face.

Lady bug.

The name he used to call me in elementary school when we were friends. Friends who were inseparable at that.

The nickname came about when he saw me sitting on the ground, talking to a lady bug that was crawling on the school's brick walls.

I hated the name for a while until it grew on me. But now I just hate it.

"Okay." I say. "What do you need help on?" I tilt my head while asking the same question.

He sighs and laughs before showing me his notebook. "The test that we had, I got an f on it. If I want to stay on the team then I need to apparently get a b on the next test and keep an b or a average in her class."

He speaks while going through the test we had in Ms. Johnson's class last Thursday. I take the test out his hands and look through it.

"How did you get the first question wrong? We literally went over it the day before." I speak with a scrunch to my face.

He rolls his eyes before rudely snatching the paper out my hand. "Okay I don't listen so what. Are you going to help me pass the next one or not?"

I groan before getting a pencil out. "I'm going to help you, yes. But not because I want to. You are going to listen to what I have to say and if you don't I'm getting up and leaving. If I have to do that then I will. Me and you both know that."

He nods and with that, we get to work.

It's an hour into this whole tutor process and he is getting on my nerves. I don't have patience and he's just making me want to ring his neck.

"No. You have to reread the question if you want to understand it. Then go back into the passage or section it tells you to go to. Come one man, this is sixth grade work my guy!"

"Will you relax. I'm trying the best I can."

"No you're not. Because for the last hour you've been sitting here talking nonsense and wasting my time. You haven't been focused on the assignment at hand, you've been distracting yourself by looking around like something is amusing. And overall, your wasting you time too. This is your assignment, this is your grade, and this is your team that you want to stay on. So cut the bullshit and focus if you want to stay on the baseball team bruh."

I gather my stuff and get ready to leave when he grabs the string of my bag. "Just, okay. Can you meet me back here tomorrow and we'll try again. I'll try harder."

I nod and take my leave. I walk out the doors and walk to my car. I enter and start it up before pulling out the lot and down the road.

I strip from my clothing before getting into the warm bliss of water that's just waiting for me to step in.

I take up my towel before rubbing in my dove body bar into it and washing my skin.

I stay in the shower for about an hour before getting out and wrapping a towel around my body.

I slip into my slides and walk out and into my closet. I put my bra set on before stepping into some black leggings and putting a black hoodie on.

I put my straightened hair into a claw clip before sitting at my desk and taking my contacts out.

I put them back into the solution before putting my glasses on and getting into bed, turning the led lights on red and grabbing my phone.

I see a text from Enzo.

Enzo🧸: You at home?

Me: Yep. Straight out of the shower and in bed. You?

Enzo🧸: Yeah. How was tutoring😭.

Me: Boring. The kid I tutored was annoying and not trying at all🤦🏾‍♀️.

Enzo🧸: Hah. Well wanna go to the movies Tuesday of next week?

I think about it before replying.

Me: Sure, what time?

Enzo🧸: I'll pick you up around seven after your tutoring session.

Me: Okay. Well I'm going to find something to snack on. Ttyl✌🏾.

Enzo🧸:✌🏽.

I get out of bed and walk downstairs and into the kitchen. I get a water bottle and heat up some chicken Alfredo I made before going back upstairs.

I cut the tv on and press onto Prime Video. I continue watching Legally Blonde before pulling the covers up and eat.

After eating I set my bowl on the desk beside me and drink up my water.

I don't know when I doze off, but I do to the sound of Elle Woods talking about designer shoes.
