How did we end up here

Chapter 5

Heyy guys welcome to chapter 5. it's great that you've made it this far and thank you so much for reading this. I am kind of at a loss as to how slow the burn should be so if you have any recommendations feel free to tell me. Hope you enjoy!

The rest of the weekend went by really fast and school has already started again. Monday and Tuesday flew by and soon it was Wednesday again and I could sleep in later because I didn't have training in the morning. I did the same routine I do every morning and after I dropped my sister I went to school myself. The cut on my forehead was still there and I was able to convince anyone who asked me, that it was an accident from skating.

The first few periods went by really slow and I was so hungry and just waiting for lunch time. Today I could buy a whole portion of fries and just thinking about it made my stomach rumble. Maya and I got our food at lunch and sat down to an empty table. "So tell me what's new with Zane? Is he secretly really smart? Is he really nice or just a jerk? I want to know everything!", Maya just started bombarding me with questions. "Okay well I haven't tutored him for long enough but I still think he's a jerk. And guess what today Olga and the hockey trainer decided that we all have to get along so I guess we are training together or something. And no he definitely isn't hiding his smartness because he has none.", I replied to her and then started to munch on my food. "But you're going to tutor him today, right?", she asked. I found it weird how much she was into this. "Yeah... why are you so much into him?", I asked her. "Okay... I'm not interested in him per se... you know his friend Max?", she mumbled. I was shocked. There is no way Maya has a crush on Zane's best friend. "OMG! Are you talking about Max Andrews? Zane's best friend? There is no way you actually have a crush on him!", I shrieked. Max was about 6 feet and had blonde hair and green eyes. He was always walking around with Zane, they were inseparable. Max was also the co-captain of the hockey team and also a huge jerk. But I was not about to shame Maya's crush because that's not my place and I will always root for her even if her crushes are huge jerks. "Ayla leave me alone! He looks so hot, I can't even focus! It would be so grate if I also figure skated! I would meet and talk to him all the time then!", she was just listing things and I was sitting there stunned and trying to contain my laughter. "Uhm well then I guess this is the time to tell you, I have to train with them today because our trainers decided we all fight too much and it needs to stop.", I told her. "WHAT! YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLEE TO TRAIN WITH HIM!", she yelled and almost everyone looked at us. "Maya chill out! Yes I Have to train with him. It doesn't mean I want to! I'm actually dreading it!", I shushed her because I was getting uncomfortable here. "okay okay sorry! But please just try to find out if he has a girlfriend or not. Please!", she pleaded with me. She was looking at me with puppy eyes and I couldn't help but laugh. "Okay I will try to figure some stuff out about him!", I was still giggling as the bell rung and we had to get back to class.

After school I picked Alice up and brought her home. We ate some snacks before I had to go to Zane's house. I really didn't want to meet him after what happened on Saturday at my house but I really needed the money so I couldn't just cancel. After Alice and I ate I again told her to call or text me if there are any issues and I would come home, then I packed my bag and drove to Zane's house.

I arrived at his house right on time and when I knocked at his door he was thankfully fully dressed and we didn't waste time to go to his room. I just wanted to get this over with as fast as I could. "Okay so let's get into this.", I said as I sat down at his desk and started unpacking my books. "Fellowes wait.", he suddenly said and I knew he was about to ask about what happened, and I was dreading this conversation. "What's up?", I tried to play It cool like I didn't even know what he wanted to talk about. "I want to talk about what happened on Saturday.", he started carefully. "Well guess what, I don't! I am only here to tutor you and not to talk about any problems you might think I had. So if you only want to talk, then I'm sorry but I have to go!", I really didn't want to talk to anyone about it much less with him, and I was ready to get out of here. "Okay calm down. Just sit down and listen. You don't really have a choice.", with that he closed his door and stood in front of it blocking my way out. At this moment I really  hated him and just wanted to punch him, but I knew I didn't have a chance against him so I just sat back down and hoped I could just answer all his questions very vague and he would just leave me alone.
