{ TJ'S POV }

My bed didn't feel comfortable anymore. I was tossing and turning all night. I couldn't figure out what I was feeling or why.

Today was fun. I mean, it was really fun.

As the night went by, my mind wouldn't stop racing with hundreds of thoughts. Each scene of the day played through slowly, from Buffy becoming my tutor to giving Cyrus that five dollar bill.

Ugh, that's right. Buffy's my tutor. I don't know her that well, but I can tell she's the kind of person that loves competition and overachieving.

*Ding* I turned over onto my side to find that my phone had a notification. It was an unknown number.

Unknown: Hey.

Me: Who is this?

The speech bubble continued to disappear and reappear for about a minute, until they finally replied.

Unknown: It's Cyrus.

It's Cyrus. My palms began to sweat, causing my phone to slide around in my grip.

Me: How'd you get my number?

I sat there, eagerly, waiting for a response. 10 minutes went by and he hadn't said anything.

Should I text again? No, no, that's coming on too strong. He's taking a long time to respond though.

Cyrus: Buffy gave it to me, so I could help convince you to let her tutor you.

Of course.

Me: Of course she did.

Cyrus: She just wants to help you.

Me: So?

Cyrus: So, let her.

Me: Why?

Cyrus: I want to help you.

He wants to help me.

Me: So why don't you just tutor me instead?

I sent that question, rhetorically.

Cyrus: That's a great idea!

Wait what.

Me: Wait, what?

Cyrus: My teachers have always said that I should become a tutor. I mean, my GPA is a little lower than Buffy's, but it's nothing below average.

Cyrus: It'd be great! I could definitely help you get your grade up in math.

Cyrus: Hello?

Cyrus: Tj?

I set my phone down on the table next to me. He's seriously suggesting that he tutors me.

Why does he want to help me so bad? Do I want his help? I'd have to spend a lot of time with him. Do I want to sp-

No, no. What am I thinking?

I don't know what to think right now.

As my phone vibrated on the nightstand, I tried not to give into the temptation of reading the texts.
