Foster Me: Emerson's Secret (ON GOING)

Chapter 14

PLS PUT YOUR PLAYLIST HERE

When Levi showed up later that night with his books in hand, Jake and Carol didn't have the heart to send him away. It worked just as Levi had thought. Putty in his hands.

Jake and Carol did ask that we study in the kitchen though which I get. Don't want two hormonal teens in a bedroom together then something happening. I already have a history of teen pregnancy on my side considering my birth mom was young when she had me. I bet Jake and Carol had that in mind when they told us we had to study out in the open. I wouldn't let anything happen though. It's not like I'm desperately wearing a sign that says, "Need to be fucked asap."

I dropped my biology book beside him on the kitchen table than sank into my chair. I said I didn't need his help yet here I am...getting tutored. Funny how that works.

I pulled the cap off the pen and watched as Levi flipped through my textbook.

He looked up at me,"You got the notes from class today?"

"Um yeah. I slipped the notes from class in the front of the book." I kept the collection of all all my class notes in the very front. "Gimmie."

Levi slid my text book over to me and I flipped to the front of the book. I pulled out my notes and gave it to him. Hopefully he knows what he's talking about.

"Cool," he said, looking over the notes.

Levi read the notes to me again and made sure to stop during the read to get me to highlight the important things to know. He then would ask me to read over what I just highlighted before continuing on. Once we finished the reading, he posed some questions and if I didn't know the answer he patiently explained what I didn't understand. It helped. The highlighting and re-reading of the most important things made understanding the key points easy. We even made a few silly mnemonic to remember those long procedures and names. 'King Philip Came Over For Great Sex' was one he showed me to remember the biological classification system. Leave it to Levi to come up with mnemonics that incorporate the word 'sex' somehow.

I rubbed my eyes, "Ok I'm done. No more."

"Alright." Levi closed my textbook and tucked my notes back in the front of the book. "What time is it?"

I checked the clock on the stove. "6:14" I said.

"Still pretty early."

"A little," I agreed. "Umm we could watch a movie."

"Sounds good. Pick a long one."

"You'll have to pick something," I said turning on the T.V.

"Whatever you want to watch is fine."

"No really, pick something." I sighed in a dramatic fashion. I'm not forcing him to watch a movie I'd like only to be teased about it later. If anyone should be blamed for picking a bad movie, it should be him. I opened the movie cabinet and stepped back so Levi could take a look inside.

He knelt down in front of the cabinet and looked inside. "You guys got alot of movies."

"Yea, they got quite a few." I made sure to emphasize the 'they' part. They being Jake and Carol. I didn't own anything they had. Not the movies.. Not the bed I slept in. Not the creepy looking bull head that hung over the fireplace or the funny looking prairie curtains that hung from the windows.

"How about we watch This Is The End? It's got Seth Rogen and a bunch of other funny guys."

"Sure. Put it in."
