MAISY PATIENTLY SAT in her living room with her ap statistics textbook, her math notebook, and her laptop placed infront of her as she sat criss-cross infront of her coffee table.
For the past 20 minutes, she checked her phone frantically with the hope of Andres saying he arrived at her house. After all, it was his idea for them to study together for their math test. Maisy wanted to do it at the library but Dre insisted on doing it at her house.
Maisy sighed as she pushed up her blue-light glasses. She opened up her laptop and started reading over the study points that her teacher posted online. As she started to study, the front door opened.
Charlie appeared at the doorway of the living room that was connected to the kitchen, and unsurprisingly, Dior was with him.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Charlie asked his younger sister.
Maisy flashed them a smile "Hi, i'm just studying for that math test i told you about"
Charlie nodded "Need any help?"
"No it's okay, Andres is supposed to come over so you can stick to hanging out with your little girlfriend"
Charlie's face dropped the tiniest bit, not at the fact he called Dior his girlfriend but at the fact Andres was back in Maisy's life again. And it didn't go unnoticed by Maisy nor Dior. Charlie had told Dior all about Maisy's problems with Andres, he knew Maisy wouldn't care if he did.
"What?" Maisy asked innocently even though she was very much guilty.
"You seriously still like that thing?" Charlie said, making a disgusted face as he addressed Andres as a 'thing.'
Dior wanted to laugh but she saw the face Maisy made so she lightly elbowed Charlie "Knock it off" She smiles lightly.
"Yes ma'am" Charlie immediately said, jokingly clutching his side as an amused tone to his voice could be heard as he looked at Dior.
Maisy smiles at the pair, she was waiting for the day that they got together. She so badly wanted them together, it was so obvious they were down bad for eachother. But, neither of them would admit it.
"But seriously," Charlie turned back to his younger sister "You need to dump his ass already"
Just as Maisy was going to answer, the doorbell rang "That's him" She gets up.
Charlie rolls his eyes "We'll be in my room. If he does anything stupid, come get me"
Charlie and Dior disappeared upstairs as Maisy opened the door to see the one and only Andres Garcia.
"Hey, sorry i'm late" He apologized but didn't really mean it, Maisy just nodded and led him to the living room where they sat next to eachother.
"It's good, don't worry about it" She finally answered, but however, she noticed how Andre's didn't bring any materials to study "Did you not bring anything?"
"I was supposed to bring something?" He asked, acting like he had no clue with a slight smirk on his face. Maisy wanted to so badly slap him for that stupid grin.
"Uhh," She shook her head "Nope, we can just share" Andres nodded his head in response and Maisy changed the topic "So, um, i was thinking we could do some of the practice problems that ms. hill posted. I think we should just do the first two because i think their the easiest to do"
When Andres didn't answer, she tilted her head towards him "Is that okay?" She hesitates.
"We're really gonna study?" He asks, a bored and annoyed look on his face.
"I mean, that's what you said you wanted to do? And this test is supposed to be really hard so i just kinda-"
Andres cut her off with an intended scoff "God, you're so boring"
"uh, im- what?" She said, she was used to Dre being rude to her but it still stung.
"Nothing, let's just continue studying." He said as he took her math textbook and looked at her laptop for the answers "but take those glasses off, they make you look ugly"
That was when Maisy realized that this was the first time he's seen her wear her glasses. She never really wore them outside her house. Mostly because she hated the way she looked with them on. The only reason why she wasn't wearing her contacts this evening was because she was tired and she knew she'd be too lazy to remove them before going to sleep.
So, she took them out after school and opted to her glasses. Despite hating the way her glasses looked on her, she only liked wearing them while studying for a test. She felt smart doing it and everytime she did, she got a good grade on her test the following day. Call her superstitious, but she does whatever she can to get a good grade.
Maisy felt her heart drop and her self esteem lowered even more "Oh, um. I only wear them when i'm studying or don't feel like wearing my contacts" The slightest hint of a smile on her face faded when he just went back to studying. Why would he say that? Did she really look ugly with them on? Should she take them off?
The two continued to work in complete silence. And not even the kind of silence that was actually comforting or seemed natural. It was the deafening silence that was unbearably awkward and only made Maisy like him less, she knew he didn't actually come here to study.
Maisy's phone buzzed on the table. She looked at the notification and saw that Walker texted her. She put her pencil down and opened his message.
walkie talkie 🤩 [ pretend there's a tiktok link here LOL ] saw this on my fyp and thought u might need it for your math test tomorrow 😁
Maisy smiled at his text. She watched the video he sent her, and to be quite frank, that tiktok did not help her at all. It wasn't even about the topic she was studying for, but she greatly appreciated the gesture.
She messaged him back: life saver. Even when she put her phone back down, her smile didn't drop. She was relieved Walker texted her. Despite him not even being there, his name on her phone made the nerves go away and made her less tense.
"Hey, how about we go and get something to eat after this?" Andres asked.
Maisy wasn't sure if she wanted to spend more time with him but she knew he would be mad if he didn't "Sure, that sounds good"
