My African Nerd

5. You're my everything tutor now

David Peterson

Oh shit. It was lunch time already. I had spent half the school day with Mia. Oh God! Time flies when you are having fun. Well, that went better than expected; I wasn't the coolest guy she has ever met. I mentally slapped myself, Could I have been more pathetic? I used to be so cool back home. I used to run the school. I played girls who am sure only wanted to be associated with the son of a billionaire. Now I cannot even form a proper sentence. Thinking about my past made me sad. I would never see my parents again.

I missed the things we miss in our everyday life. I missed my mom's cooking, my dad's laughter and life advice, hell, i missed my mother scolding at me for throwing my school uniform all over the place when I came home from school. Everyday I would think about this and everyday I thought I would never be truly happy again. Until today that is. The time I spent with Mia was the longest I have ever spent without being sad ever since my rocks were taken away from me.

What was it about her? I mean I knew her reputation, I knew she was no virgin Mary, quite the opposite actually, but I couldn't help but think about her. She knew I could speak English Fluently, She knew I was to take over ckub Noir, I nearly told her my real Identity. At this point, she knew me the most in this God forsaken School. I always tell myself to be careful around people, I was scared that my parents' murderers might track me down but with Mia I just seemed to blurt everything out without thinking.

I entered the Cafeteria then headed to the 'nerds' Table and sat next to my Friend Elsa Skyy. She had blonde her that was always neat and tied into a ponytail above her head, cute frickles on her cheeks and forest green eyes. She was the Math Genius of the enter school. Hell am willing to bet she is the best in this country. When we first met, she didnt really like me because I had gotten higher marks than her in Math and that pissed her off, but as time went, she established her dominance as no one even came close to her in Math. She was a pretty cool friend, hyper-energetic most of the time. She had a tendency of resting her hand on your shoulder during conversations which I quickly got used to, but people mocked her about it. She tried to get rid of the habit but I guess old habits die hard, and I was kinda encouraging her.

As soon as I sat down, she started with her daily report
"SO, TODAY IN CLASS, ROBERT ANDERSON SAT NEXT TO ME. HE ASKED ME MY NAME AND HE SAID HE WANTS TO KNOW ME, BE MY FRIEND." She said, her voice full of pure excitement and disbelief. Yeah, Robert was the typical jock, not the team captain but one the best soccer players. He hung out with Mia and her hullegan club so excuse me for being concerned by the sudden interest.

"Elsa, not to burst your bubble or anything but are you sure his intentions are pure?" I dreaded carefully not wanting to piss off my only friend

"I am 67% sure. The other part of me is still debating on it, I mean he just said he wants to be friends." she tried convincing herself more than me. She was the only other person beside Mia who knew I could speak fluently.

"Is everything Math to you?" We both laughed, her hand now on my shoulder "dont worry, I will look into him alright."

"Thank you that would be highly appr..." She didn't finish her sentence, her usually cheery face now showing fear. Now, I didn't mind these idiot hitting me, it helped with the emotional pain, but Elsa was off limits. Today I will kill someone. I turned around ready for a fight only to meet a pair of the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen staring daggers onto Elsa's arm on my shoulder. Wait, Is she jealous.

"Mia! What are you doing here?" I asked, pretending to be annoyed but my face blushing, and given the amusement I saw in her eyes, she picked up on it too.

"Look David, I am going to put it as simple as possible so that you understand." She emphasised everyword, not wanting to give away my cover.

"She knows so no need to do that" I interupted

She sighed. "Thank God, I donno if I could have done that anylonger. Look, apparently I am failing every subject and you are good at every subject and I need a tutor." She said like it was the most obvious thing on the planet

"Wh-what, you w-want m-me to totur you?" I don't know why suddenly I stummered when I spoke which she found rather amusing. I have got to stop giving this girl power over me.

"Yes Dave" she said flirtatiously making me blush. What in good heaven is happening to me "You are my everything totur now, so today, my place, 1630hrs." With that she left swaying her hips from side to side, without even trying, she was a dynamite. When I finally snapped to reality, I came face to face with Elsa wearing the widest smile on Earth.

"What?" I asked surprised

"Y-you w-want m-me to totur you?" She made a terrible impersonation of my voice the bursting to laughter

"Yeah whatever, a friend you are. You looked like you were starring at death in the face." I shot back also laughing hard causing people to give us 'shut the F up' looks and we bowed our heads in return now chuckling lightly.

"I didn't know you two knew each other." She said curiously

"What makes you think we do, besides from her bullying me and all."

"One, you suddenly lose you speech skiils when she is around, two, you blushed more time when she spoke than i have seen you blush in the past 4 years and 3, she knew that you are a fluent English Speaker"

Busted!!

"Well it is kind of a long story, I will tell you some other time in the near future" I pleaded already knowing she is going to protest

"No! Tell me now, I have all the time in the world" and when she stopped, the bell rung, indicating lunch break was over, time for more classes. Thank you God

"Well I guess not, See you around, Love you." I said trimphuntly as I rushed to class

"Love you more dumb ass, but you owe me an explanation" she yelled because I was now close to the exit of the cafeteria to practically my first lesson of the day.

Chapter 5, I am still trying to link everything so that when the juicy bits of the story come, we are all on the same page, hope you enjoyed this chapter
