After school Ze had driven with Dan and Jared to their home and the three were currently in the living room doing homework before dinner and she would need to go home.

She and Jared were on the couch as he was helping her with occasional problems and Dan was reading on the floor, lying near the couch on the thick, soft carpet.

"I hate this, I'm so stupid" she snapped, frustrated about having to write down a complicated word and failing multiple times.

She was always trying hard to put a brave face and not complain, but she hated her difficulties and sometimes she got too frustrated to hold it in.

"You're not stupid, you're doing better" Jared said calmly and stopped her from snapping the pen broken. "You can do it."

"Tsk, right" Ze rubbed her eyes and stood up suddenly. "I'm taking a break, and I need to use the bathroom."

He couldn't wait until the day when this would be normal, when he would be used to this all like he was before. But so far still, he was doing pretty well towards his goal.

At some point Jared felt his phone vibrate in his jeans pocket and he picked it up. It was a message from an unknown number, so he frowned a second until he opened it.

-I know about you and your boyfriend.

"Something wrong?" Ze asked looking up and noticing his sudden startled expression, staring at his phone.

He looked up at her, in high level of shock.

"No, everything's okay."

Ze shrugged and continued writing, knowing he would tell if there was something to be worried about.

Jared gulped and tried not to overrate this, maybe it was sent just to a wrong number or a joke.

-Who is this?

He pressed send and hoped for a quick reply. But there was no way nobody could really know about him and Dan, was there?
