Be long gone

Chapter twelve

                                                                     Zendaya's POV

The doorbell rang

"Coming........"

"Oh! Welcome, Adam. You're thirty minutes late. I did not think you were going to show up" I added

"And turn a lady down? No" He replied

"I'm sorry I had to attend to something at work" He added

"Where do you work?" I asked

If you keep asking questions, we won't get started" He declared

"Okay. The Verandah's over there" I said

"I thought we were doing this in your room?" He added

What a mentality you have

"Seriously? Move, I've got a project to begin" I declared

It's already evening and the weather is kind of cold so I'm in a blue hood and gray sweatpants with a black bandana. Bandana is a part of my dressing, the only time I don't wear it is on dinner gowns. Since Adam just returned from work, he's still in his school clothes.

I led him to the Verandah

We sat on a yoga mat that I did not know was there.

"We should probably start with the definition of Homeostasis," I told him bringing out a big Biology textbook from High School

"I'll google that" He stated

"Google? You don't know it by heart? How did you get through High School?" I pronounced

"Of course I know it by heart, I just feel Google is safer," He said

That's what liars will say. I know he's not dull, he answers questions twice as much as I do in class.

"Whatever" I declared

My parents were back from the meeting they attended and I know it went well because if it didn't my mum's hair will be in a bun.

"Let's start with basic terminologies" He declared

"Okay, hand me your book" I stated snatching it from him before he could reply

"You have a terrible handwriting" I confessed

"Give that back" He ordered

"Wait a sec. I've been wanting to check your note for a while" I explained

"I agree with you. I will take handwriting classes" He said

"I'm sorry, I did not mean that" I expressed noticing his facial expression

"It's fine, people have said worse things. Besides, I know I know y handwriting is my flaw"

"Okay, let's get to work" I changed the subject

************************************************

One hour and forty-five minutes into the project

"I'm exhausted. Can we continue this weekend or at any other time?" I enquired

"I'm sorry for wasting your time" He apologized"

"No problem"

"Are you free on Saturday afternoon?" He inquired

"Let's see .....um, ........"
