Reciprocated Tutor

Chapter Two

"Nice nail polish!" Zac, my adorable gay bestie commented. Other than Christian, Zac's my main bitch ever since 7th grade, some people even assumed that Zac and I are together, when in fact, im the last person he's ever going to date. Lord knows how much of a diva he is and how much I am not. "What are you, kinder?" he teased as we headed towards our table in the canteen.

I looked at my painted nail beds. Hey, what's so kinder about purple, blue and yellow? It's the new trend nowadays. Isn't it not? "Well, Santi painted them" I bragged, looking at him teasingly. He has a massive crush on my brother. He regularly rambles on about how much of a gentleman and protective human my brother is.

"That makes them so much better! Tell your brother that I need my nails painted as well.. and ask him if he could paint my life too" He laughs as we both sat down, placing our things on the table.

"Such a whore!" I gasped and slapped him in the arm.

"Exclusively for Santiago Guerra only" he winks. He then digs into his bag and pulls out a slice of pizza "it's my cheat day" he defensively said.

I chuckled and brought out my math notebook. "Everday is your cheat day sis, don't even deny it" He rolls his eyes and chomps on his food.

"are you not going to eat?" he asks.

Oh.. "well, I ate a while ago" I lied. He was going to say something but decided not to. I haven't been eating regularly lately and, I'm sure this isn't anything serious. I just don't feel like it, what's so bad about that?

"oh, babe have you heard of this new hottie?" Zac whispered, almost too excitedly. "He is so drool worthy! DROOL WORTHY I tell you! And he goes by the name Salvatore! It is so very Vampire Diaries right?" he squealed. "and I bet he's gay!" He claps in excitement. "He's all over my twitter feed last night"

I grabbed his hand and shushed him. "bitch, I'm literally in the middle of solving this Logarithm equation and my mind is going to explode! The last thing I wanna hear is boy new" He rolls his eyes and calmed back down. "He's just another high school Troy wannabe"

He rolls his eyes once more and hits me on the head, earning a glare from me. "You should consider moving on from that best friend of yours. You are subconsciously closing your doors to all the possible boys! I swear, you'll end up single with cats and dogs at the age of 40" he exaggerates. I ignored him and continued solving this problem. What's so wrong with being single anyways? at least I won't have to share my money with anyone. He slams a hand on the problem im working on and pulls it away.

"Zac-" I pleaded.

"It's lunch Solana! come on, let's get you some food" He hoisted me up and I have no choice but to follow him. We walk towards the food area and he ordered me some food. "On me, don't even worry about it"

"No I can-"

"shut up ugly" and he pays for my meal and we walk back to our table but there was already someone sitting on it. Did they not see the bags and things on top of it? maybe hinting that there are already people occupying the table? I heard Zac clear his throat to get the guy's attention. "We sat there first" he sassily said.

I just stayed silent and stared at the guy. Is he not going to move? "Excuse me?" I whispered. He still ignores us but I wasn't having any of it, I have my problems to solve. I tapped his shoulder but he grabbed my hand. I was taken aback and immediately pulled back my hand. "What's wrong with you? find another vacant table douchebag!" I sneered.

He turns to look at us and my goodness, he is beautiful. My cheeks immediately reddened and my hands quickly hid behind my back. "Can't I sit with you guys?" he asked. His voice? super deep and husky and-

"Salvatore?" Zac says in utter disbelief. So, he's the infamous Salvatore. "Uh-uhm, yeah yeah you can sit with us" he chuckles "right Sol?" he looks at me pleadingly and with that persuading 'say-yes-or-die' smile.

I blinked awkwardly and looked at this beautiful creature sitting before us. "yeah." We proceeded to sit. I sat in-front of him whilst Zac sat extremely close to him. "So-"

"Wait, how'd you know my name" he chuckles, looking at Zac.

Zac rolls his eyes and hits him on the arm, "you're the hot topic this week.. hot topic and hot at the same time" he jokes, obviously flirting with Salvatore.

Salvatore smiles but it immediately goes away. "So, I saw you working on this problem and I needed your help" he bluntly said, looking deep into my soul. I chuckled and looked around awkwardly, this has got to be a joke, right? I pointed towards myself.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. I need to pass math class if I want to stay in the basketball team."

"but i'm not good-"

"Oh i'm sure Solana would love to help you with that!" Zac butts in, chuckling very slightly.

Salvatore looks at me with a small smile and mumbles my name to himself very softly.

I looked at him shocked. What? "She loves math and clearly, she can't get enough of it! she's free after classes" he continues to say. I kicked his leg under the table. His leg is extra hard today, he must've worked out last night.

"Ow, easy tiger." Salvatore looks at me with hungry eyes? I internally panic with my red cheeks.

"I'm so-"

"Easy.. I bite" he mumbles, looking straight at me. "And yes, after class sounds good. I'll pick you up from your room." he says.

I swallowed intensely, "you don't know my room" I challenged.

He chuckles and looks at Zac, Zac immediately gives in and said "room 206"

I gasped and kicked his leg, this time making sure that it's his leg. He groans in pain but Salvatore finds it quite amusing. "See you later, my house." he winks and walks away from our table, off to god knows where. Our eyes followed where he just was, but my eyes shifted to this devil in front of me.

"What did you just do!" I exclaimed, huffing air and transferring to my previous seat beside him. "I don't have time to teach him this! for free too!" I sighed. This is just so wrong, I'll be going to this guy's house. "He's a complete stranger yet I'm going to his house! what if he does something to me" I cried.

Zac huffs and rolls his eyes "so dramatic!" he comments. He leans towards me and grabs both of my hands, "you know what I think he is?"

"what?" I asked.

"Into you" he finishes. I blinked slowly, nope.

"You think he's into me? are you going crazy?" I groaned. This is so frustrating, Santi would kill me if he knew about this.

He laughs crazily, "he was lowkey flirting with you and you can't tell me you didn't sensed that"

I packed my things and took a bite out of my sandwich before shoving it in my bag. "he's probably flirting with another girl as we speak" I said. I stood up and wore my bag. "I'm telling Santi-"

He quickly stops me "you're not doing that!" he holds my hand.

I remove my hand "he'll kill me if I hid this from him! plus, what if Salvatore kills me? at least he'll know where to find me"

"but.. he won't allow you to go" Zac says as if I was the one who gave my word to teach him math. "just be a rebel for once"

Wow, what a good influence. But, I sighed and nodded in realization. Well, I can protect myself if ever. Just good luck to me, I guess.
