The Tutor 2

Chapter 13

The next day at school is very very awkward.

Our teacher won't let us change our seats in class so I'm stuck sitting next to Jose.

We are currently taking notes and I can feel Jose looking at me.

I try to ignore the feeling and continue to take my notes.

Once the lecture is finished, I walk over to our teachers desk.

"Hey Daya, what's up?" They asked.

"I feel really uncomfortable in my current seat, is there any way you could switch me with anyone else in the classroom?"

"You and Jose having relationship problems?"

I nod my head slowly.

"I tell students all the time...," my teacher mumbles. "Don't sit next to your girlfriend or boyfriend because when things get rough you'll want to change seat, but no, they never ever listen!"

I stare at my teacher for a second and then I speak again.

"So can I change it?"

"Unfortunately, I am about to assign a group project and the groups are already made. The four people around you are in your group. I could switch you and LaMelo, would that help?"

I shake my head no.

LaMelo and Jose next to each other will cause a bunch of issues...

"You and Tracy?"

Tracy keeps her cool most of the time, I say to myself.

"S-sure, I guess that works,"

"Okay, I'll let her know!"

The teacher walks over to Tracy and she gets an irritated look on her face.

"Why do I have to change seats?" I hear Tracy's muffled voice ask.

The teacher mumbles a reply before looking back and pointing at me.

"Oh," Tracy says while dragging out the h on oh. "Okay,"

She grabs her notebook and moves into my old seat in front of her.

I walk back to my old seat and grab my notebook then I walk to my new seat and sit down.

A few minutes later I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket.

I take it out and unlock it.

There is a message from Jose there.

Jose It wasn't that serious, Daya.

I roll my eyes at his text and then I reply.

Maybe not to you but to me it was.

Jose so what, we can't be friends anymore?

You should've thought about our friendship before cheating with Vanessa

Jose I wasn't thinking when I was with Vanessa.

Jose I fucked yo big time Daya

Jose up*

Yeah, I know you did.

I place my phone down on the table and I continue writing a summary for today's notes.

My phone vibrates again and I ignore it.

It's not until it vibrates a second time that I pick it up and look at the two new messages I have.

Once it from LaMelo and the other is from Jose.

Jose Ik and I am so sorry...

I leave Jose on read and I go to LaMelo's text.

LaMelo😆😂 just block him if he keeps texting you! Haha.

Lol, I'm okay for now.

Why are you texting me, you're right next to me.

I look up from my phone and glance at LaMelo.

He is smiling down at his phone and typing.

He feels me glancing at him so he glances back at me with a smile on his face.

A few seconds later my phone buzzes again.

LaMelo😄😂 you want Jose to hear us whispering about him?

Good point!
