I had never felt elated this much before that to on the topic of calculus. When the night ended, which I thought for a first passed by far too quickly, I was choking with new informations on the subject which had been nothing short of a foe since the very first day I got introduced to it.

I never for the life of me thought I could as much as understand even the littlest of things in calculus much more solve an entire question with both differentiation and integration mixed up. I was over the moon and it was all thanks to someone I thought would be the last person to ever evoke such implausible yet tangible emotion from me.

Nathaniel didn't come off as the type that'd voluntarily offer someone aid much less I. Or maybe I didn't know him quite well. Whatever the answer was, I was grateful that he had deigned it acceptable to tutor me.

I mean I wasn't one hundred percent excellent in the topic yet(there were still stuffs I found confusing obviously) but even I, the ever so pessimist in terms of calculus could swear I had improved tremendously that night. On the basis at least. And for this I would always be grateful to that mysterious, confusing grey eyed brunette.

I was chirpier than usual at the dorm room later that night. So full of energy it was like I was on a sugar rush. Daphne had to pull some great deal of efforts to tame me down.

"Now I wish you never understood anything during that tutoring session!" I froze at her statement. I couldn't believe she'd say that. And she realized how that had come out and a guilty look descended on her face. She sighed when I pulled away from her.

"I'm sorry Sasha. It's just...you were being annoying and irritating and vexatious and irksome-"

"Oh shut up with the unnecessary repetition of irritation in different words! You wish I didn't understand calculus?! How can you say that?!" I pushed a pillow into her face and she screamed, flailing her arms around and it took me quite sometime to realize I was suffocating her.

I pulled the pillow back and she glared. "Bitch y-"

"No you don't get to call me bitch this time around! You were the bitch here!" I cut her off before she could say anything. Maybe she didn't mean it but I was particularly sensitive when it came to calculus if you might have noticed. I just...those innocent words kind of threatened to unveil those insecurities I had tucked away somewhere deep within me.

My attacking her was more of forcing those insecurities away than being mad at her.

"If you would just let me speak Sasha. I meant no harm seriously. And it came out before I could even even think about it. The last thing I want is to hurt you believe me." I sighed.

Okay I had overreacted. Daphne and I threw insults at each other all the time and it didn't mean anything most of the time.

"I'm sorry. I overreacted but it's just that...I never imagined myself understanding even a single thing in calculus and this progress is just so surreal sometimes it feels like-"
