want me (joe burrow)

reagan's pov

tuesday morning was hell. i woke up at 6 am to go to cheer practice then at 8 i had volleyball. after that at 10 i had my german class so i had no time in between.

i was so tired and hungry so i grabbed a protein bar, some muscle milk, and some strawberries. i was dressed very nice as you could guess. i had nike shorts that were a size to big and a sweatshirt also too big as well as elite socks and tevas.

i walked into german with my hood on to hide my gross hair and sat in the back corner of the class. i got there a few minutes early so i layed my head down.

i always sat by myself in that class just because i was always so tired during it. i was going to drop it, but i had no other option and i needed a foreign language. i felt someone sit in the chair next to me which was very unusual

i looked over and saw joe. he smiled at me and i groaned putting my head back down. i was in no mood to deal with him and i already wanted this class to be over.

"hey ray." he said and other girls in the class just stared at me. i rolled my eyes at the nickname he said. only close friends called me that.

"was willst du?" (what do you want?) i said looking at him. he looked really confused.

of course he didn't know any german. the teacher had a daughter who was obsessed with him so she let him pass the class.

"wirklich?" (really) i said and he just looked at me trying to figure out what it said.

"joe we've been in the class for like 8 weeks and your telling me you don't know a lick of it?"

"sorry i've just been busy with other stuff. you should tutor me." he said leaning into me as i sat up.

"nein."

"do you know what that means? no. now please leave me alone i'm starting to think you are obsessed with me." i said drinking my muscle milk.

he laughed nervously, "you wish."

"yeah i do joe now please just leave me alone i'm sorry i just had 2 practices and i'm tired." i begged him not being mean to him but polite.

"fine i'll talk to you later though guten abend."

"joe that literally means goodnight god you do need a tutor. tschüss." i said waving to him as he walked away. i put my head down then the teacher walked in.

she started talking about the midterm we had coming up and i wasn't to worried. i took german 1 and 2 in high school so i had a basic idea i was just rusty, but with some studying i'd be fine.

i don't know why but i was actually worried about joe. not because i like him, but if he fails this he won't graduate and even i can't deny he's going to be a pro by this time next year.

when class was done i saw joe standing at the door flirting with a girl. i walked passed them and then turned around. i don't know what possessed me to do this but i can't change my mind now he's staring.

"hey joe?"

"yeah reagan?"

"do you actually ant me to tutor you?"

"are you serious?"

"well i mean yeah our midterms are next week. i might not like you but i'm not heartless. do you want the help or not?"

"yeah your apartment or mine?" he asked walking beside me.

"um can we do it at the library? i don't want you at my house." i said looking at him.

"oh you wanna 'do it' at the library that's hot i'm down."

"and suddenly you lost a tutor." i said walking away. he grabbed my arm and spun my around.

"wait i'm kidding reagan i actually do need your help. i'll meet you there at 7." he said and i nodded walking back to my apartment.

i took a much needed nap and ate some lunch then went to my 4 pm class. after that i went to get smoothies with kelsey then i drove to the library.

i got there around 6:30 because i needed to study on my own for my nutrition and wellness class. i was actually trying to be a dietitian i've always been interested in health.

it was now 7 and of course joe would be late. i'd expect nothing less from him. he better not be really late or i'm not helping.

i waited and waited and finally at 8:30 i decided to just leave. i slammed my book shut and packed my laptop up grabbing my keys and walking out. of course.

i offer that douche help and he ditches me moving on to his next target i guess. as i was walking down the stairs i saw him walking up.

"i'm so sorry reagan our practice ran late."

"save it joe it's fine i don't care. i was just trying to help you but no you go ahead and help your damn self." i said and he stood there. his hair was very sweaty and messy.

i couldn't tell if it was from a girl or from actual practice, but i sure as hell didn't want to stick around and find out. i got to my car and drove off leaving him standing there looking at me.
