Summer's POV

When school was over, Freddy and I decided to walk home together, since we just live a block apart.
We were talking all the time. When we reached my house, I hugged Freddy again, and whispered in his ear:
"Thank you again, Freddy. You're a really good friend. I don't know what I would do without you."
"I'd do anything for you."
We pulled away, I waved goodbye and entered my home.
I was greeted by my 5 years old brother, Max.
"Summer! You're back!" He said.
"Hey, Max! Where's mom?" I asked.
"I'm here, sweetie!" My mom answered. "I need you to babysit Max this afternoon. Can you?"
"Of course!" I answered.
"Bye! Mom loves you!" She said, exiting the house.
"We love you too!" Me and Max answered.
"What do you wanna do, Max?"
"Can we watch TV? Pleaseee!"
"Sure thing." I said, and went to the living room with him.
We were watching a movie, when I received a text from Freddy:

Freddy 💚
Hey Sum! Are you free
to tutor me today? You
can come to my house.

Me
Sorry, Freddy. I can't go.
I'm babysitting my brother.
But I can tutor you if you
come to my house!!

Freddy 💚
I'm babysitting my sister...

Me
Bring your sister! She can
play with Max. How old
is she? Max just turned 5.

Freddy 💚
Lulu is 5 too! I'll take her.
See you in 10 minutes!

Me
See ya!!
          
                               ----                  

"Max?" I said. "You're gonna make a new friend today!"
"Really? What's her name?"
"Her name is Lulu, she's your age and she'll be here in 10 minutes."
"Is she funny?"
"I don't know! But her brother is hilarious."
"Can't wait to meet her!"
10 minutes after that, the doorbell rang and we went to answer it.
"Hey, Sum! This is my sister Lulu."said Freddy.
"Hey, Freddy! And hi Lulu! My name is Summer, and this is my brother Max. He is your age!"
"We are gonna be really good friends!" Lulu said.
"Best friends!" Max said.
Max and Lulu went to the backyard to play soccer, and Freddy and I went to the living room, so we could study.
"Alright, Freddy. Let's get started!" I said.
We reviewed a few topics, and I passed him some exercises. While he was doing it, I went to check on the kids.
"Max, Lulu! Are you two having fun?"
"Yeah!" They answered.
"I'm thinking about making some cookies! Do you guys wanna help me?"
"Yes!!!!" They both answered.
"Okay! Let's go!"
When we were going to the kitchen, I heard Freddy calling my name. So I told te kids to wait for me in the kitchen.
"What's up, Freddy?"
"I can't do this one. Can you help me?"
"Sure!" I said as I grabbed a pen and showed him how to do it.
"Oh! That makes sense! Thank you, Summer!"
"No problem! I'll be in the kitchen making some chocolate chips cookies for us to eat. If you need help, just call my name."
"Okay!"
Me, Max and Lulu made the cookies and some orange juice. They went to watch TV while I went back to the living room.
"Are you done?" I asked Freddy.
"Yes. Thanks, Summer! You're a life safer."
He smiled at me and I smiled back, until he spoke up:
"Sum, can I ask you something?"
"Of couse!"
"Do you promise you'll be honest?"
"I promise."
"My parents told me to find a tutor because they think I'm dumb. You're like, the 5th tutor I have. They all left, because they thought I would never be able to learn anything. Do you think I'm that stupid?" He asked me, his voice cracking. He had tears forming on his eyes.
"Oh, Freddy... Of couse not! Actually, I think you're pretty smart! You just have to find a way to use this. And I'll help you! I'm your tutor after all! But, mostly important, I'm your friend. I will not leave you, no matter what."
"Really?"
"Really."
"T-Thank you..." He said, while a tear started rolling down his cheek."
"Aw, Freddy... Please, don't cry..." I said, giving him a big hug. "It's gonna be okay. I'm right here for you, I promise you..."
I let him cry on my shoulder, just like he did to me. I think this whole situation is making us even closer friends. We're like brother and sister now.
Even though I want to be more...

What's up, guys?
Sorry this chapter is so short... And, let me say, it's probably the worst 😂
But anyways, hope you enjoy it!
Luv ya 💕😘
