Grayson's POV

Two Weeks Later...

Tuesday

"Teala, I can't fucking do this!" I say frustrated, throwing my paper out of my lap and putting my face in my hands.

Me and Teala had to read a passage and answer some comprehension questions for English, but today my dyslexia was really acting up.

I couldn't read a single word without getting confused. I'm over seeming like an idiot when I know I'm not.

"Calm down, Gray. It's ok!" she says, rubbing my back trying to calm me down.

I huff and rub my eyes. She doesn't understand. "No it's not Teala. I know I can read, my brain just decides to prohibit my ability to. It's not fair! I wanna be able to read normally just like you," I say, blushing and fiddling with my fingers in my lap.

I don't want to look stupid in front of my damn girlfriend. If thats not embarrassing, then I don't know what is.

"Grayson look at me," Teala softly says, grabbing one of my hands.

I look up into her beautiful brown eyes. Just looking into them can brighten my day to extents I didn't even know was possible.

"It's okay! I know you can read. I know you're smart. Just calm down and we'll go slower. Don't get discouraged so fast," she says, smiling.

I look away from her, grabbing my paper.

I take a breath before continuing to read.

We finally get through the passage, and my head hurts. But, I did read a lot of the words clearly instead of confusing like I did the first go round, which I'm kind of proud of.

Teala looks to me. "See? You did it!" She says, kissing my cheek.

My face flushes and I smile, looking down to my hands again.

"Thanks," I mumble, still having a cheesy grin.

I still felt embarrassed. Mainly because by now I should be able to read through stuff without getting confused. But like I said, my mind was fucking with me today.

She leans over and pecks my lips, holding it for a little. "Now feel better! Let's take a break," Teala says, standing. "I'm kinda hungry."

"Me too," I sigh, laying back in her bed. "Where you wanna go?"

"McDonald's?"

"I'm down."

"Get up then!"

I roll my eyes and scoff. "Don't rush me!"

"I rush who I wanna rush," she mumbles, turning around to her desk to grab her keys and probably her wallet.

I bite my lip as my eyes land on her ass, that perfect ass. And right now, it looked even more amazing than normal, her thin tights hugging them tightly.

Teala is the only person that can makes me feel like this when she's not doing anything to turn me on.

She turns back around and I sigh again, trying to collect my thoughts.
