Its been two days since Kylees' and Henrys' conversation. Or near conversation I suppose you could say.

Kylee entered the school through the choir room door and made her way into the room itself. She dropped her stuff off in the back of the room and walked down the hallway.

Entering the lunch room, there are tables to the right. Kylee didn't notice before but Henry sometimes sits there with his friend Cole. Acting like she hasn't just been sneaking glances at him, she continued her way to the library.

Just as she's about to leave the community center, she hears her name being called and turns to see a smiling Henry running up to her.

"Hey, can I ask a favor?" Henry asks Kylee.

"Yeah, what's up?" She replies, resuming walking.

"OK so I mean I'm pretty good at math but you've probably noticed that I've just been copying off of you and Brittany lately right?"

"Uh, yeah? I mean I guess I've noticed but I havent really put any thought into it."

"Oh, alright well, theres actually a reason behind it," he informs her with a smirk, "I've actually gotten a bit confused on what we're doing so I was wondering if you could tutor me or something. Like during lunch or in the mornings if you have time."

"Um," she replies, picking up a random book in the library. "I guess I could on some days. I have Knowledge Bowl on Tuesdays and Thursdays but any other time during lunch I'm free. I also get here relatively early in the mornings so - when do you get here?"

Henry shifted his backpack that was currently resting on his left shoulder. "I usually get here around 7:20 - 7:30."

"OK, I get here at like 7:30 so that works. Do you mind where we work? I usually just hang out in the choir room before class starts so we could go there or here in the library. It's up to you. The library's just a little cramped since construction is going on," She explained.

"Anywhere's fine with me. We can go in the choir room because I kinda agree with you about the library being small. Where is the choir room anyways?"

"Oh, you know the side doors that you can come in through that by the gym? And its where you pass the locker rooms and stuff? Well when you come in that door, the door in front of you is the choir room."

"Oh OK."

"Yeah so do you have a specific schedule or something you wanna kinda follow or something?"

"Does every day work? I can just dm you on Instagram if I can't do it the next day."

"Yeah that works. And same goes for me."

"Great, thanks!" He said, waving goodbye to her as he left the library.

"No problem!" She called back.

Just then the bell rang and Kylee replaced the book she had been holding for the past five minutes, back on the shelf.

Jeez I didn't even get a book and that's what I came in here for.

Oh well.

It was worth it.
