"Okay darling I'm listening."
"Why have you been avoiding me like the plague? Yes, I admit I was harsh, but I thought you'd get over it by now Xavier."
"Well.." Xavier begins but I interrupt him. I'm too hyped up to keep my mouth shut. All the rage and bottled up emotions are escaping.
"Don't say that you actually hurt my feelings this time blah blah. We do this all the time and especially right before you left for London, so how is this time different from the previous times?" I take in deep breaths attempting to calm myself down.
He stays quiet and avoids looking at my eyes. A bulb lights above my head. Does he like me?
Clearly I have no brain to mouth filter so the question comes out. "Xavier, do you like me?"
"No," he answers looking up and unconsciously touches his nose. Affirmative
"I don't believe you," I narrow my eyes at him waiting for his reply. Should I feel happy or not? My feelings are all over the place. Ughhhh
"Fine don't believe me. Why would I like you? I'm definitely out of your league," he turns to walk away but stops once I erupt into laughter. Okay, my feelings are all sorted out
"Turn around you silly boy. Why are the possibilities of a relationship to occur determined by popularity statuses? No one is out of anyone's league here and besides I won't lose anything beneficial if I don't date you. It's your loss anyways. You certainly will not have someone to tell you the truth or that the shirt you're wearing is despicable."
His eyes immediately flick to his shirt and then looks at me with a 'you're right' look

"This is how it's going to go buddy. I'm your chemistry mentor and you're my math mentor. We're not going to tease each other anymore because we are no longer frenemies. We are simply two classmates that tutor each other. I don't have time for your teenage drama because I want to get into a good university and focus on my studies. Do we have a deal?" I raise my hand waiting for him to shake.
He smirks and walks away.
"Good luck finding another tutor!" I shout at him and he simply gives me a thumbs up without looking behind.
FEW DAYS LATER
"I'm going to fail Math. DAMIEN HELP!!" I shout and my brother comes rushing.
"Are you okay!" He slams the door open with a pan in his hand.
"Look who's being Rapunzel now," I point at his pan.
