the thirteenth

thursday - 5:32 p.m.

nick just dropped me off.

i feel bad because when we got to mine i gave him a quick kiss and ran up to my room because i had to write you this.

i grabbed my algebra book from my locker and made my way to the library. it was our first tutoring session.

when i came i was surprised to see you already sitting by one of the desks. you're expression seemed to change once i came in. i couldn't tell if it was bad or good. you gave me a small smile and i took a seat beside you.

you pulled out your book and placed it on the table. you had a pen and a notebook out too. i found it cute that you were really trying. haha.

"so what don't you get?" i ask you breaking the silence.

"everything." you say.

funny, i don't get anything about you too.

"how about we go through your latest test? could i see it?"

"oh uh, i didn't bring it." you said as you shuffled through your bag. you looked so worried.

"oh. it's fine. we can use mine." i smile to try and put you a little more at ease. hopefully, it worked.

after teaching you how to solve polynomials and simplifying radicals you were finally getting the hang of it.

"ohhh! you're meant to pick a multiplier to get rid of the stupid radical sign?"

"yuuuup. you finally got it!" i cheer and smile.

as you were finding algebra easy (well, easier at least.) all i was thinking about was how easy this, us was too.

but maybe i was just kidding myself.

maybe this is all another lie, another act.

because the sad truth is, we'll never be the same as we once were.

i hate it and i hate you.

p.s.

or maybe it isn't, because you just texted me.

you: thanks for tutoring me today. i finally get it. looking forward to thursday. :)

p.p.s.

i think i'm falling for nick because he just texted me and i can't stop smiling.

nick: hey, forgot to ask you, where were you during study hall? missed you. :(

me: forgot to tell you, ms. jefferson told eli to ask me to tutor him. i agreed since he seemed like he really needed it. sorry! missed you more. :(

nick: ohh that's cool you're helping him out. this is why you're my favorite. :)

me: you're my favorite too. :) come over tomorrow? you should meet my mom!

nick: what?!

nick (after 5 seconds) : okay. i can do this. right?

me: of course you can! :)
