Two weeks had passed and you were finally settling in. Choerry made sure to talk to you daily, whether it was on the phone, on the bus, or at school. She also introduced you to your new friend Yeeun.

"Ooh!" Yeeun snatched Choerry's lunch bag.
"You better have my chips!" she zipped it open.
"Hey!!" Choerry tugged on her bag.
"No snatching, I'll get it for you!" Choerry giggled.
"Let me get some when you do," you said, eyes glued to your phone, which you weren't supposed to have out.
"You're gonna get caught." Yeeun grinned, handing you a chip.
"Shhh!" you took it from her.

For two weeks now, Choi Beomgyu would occasionally stare at you in science class. He sat one seat down to the left from you, and you could always feel it when he was looking. At first, you thought maybe he just has a staring problem? but nope. This kid decided he only wanted to stare at you, not out the window, not at the floor, or the ceiling, just at you. Because of this, you didn't talk to him as much at lockers. Sure, he was nice and really cute, but that wasn't going to excuse his suspicious behavior. Finally, you had enough. Once you felt him staring again, you turned around and stared right back at him, his head jerking down to his desk. After about thirty seconds, he looked back up at you. With a blank expression, you stuck out your tongue, and tugged your bottom eyelid down at him, before turning back to face the teacher.
He stopped staring after that.

The next morning he looked at you while the two of you opened your lockers.
Something was on the tip of his tongue.
"Hey Y/N, do you tutor?" he asked.
You looked at him shocked.
"Where did you hear that?!" you asked.
"What? N-no where, it's just you are doing really well in science, and I really need help." he looked nervous.
You were about to reject his request when he told you something.
"I know you caught me staring the other day, but honestly, I've kinda been copying your answers." he scratched his neck.
Wait...what?! So he wasn't exactly staring at me, but my papers? Wow, and I thought he was a creep, but he's just dumb.
"I would much rather learn from you than cheat off you, so please?" he said.
You paused.
"I have school work too, so it's gonna cost you." you gave in.
"Really! How much?" he bit his lip, thinking.
"Twenty." you shrugged.
"Okay, that works." he smiled.
You were kinda hoping he would buzz off, and actually not accept the deal.
"I'm gonna need you to text me your address."
"My address?" he was surprised.
"I don't like the library, and it's too hot for the park," you told him.
"Alright then, can you come over after school today?"
"Sure." you agreed, even though you knew it was probably a stupid idea.

You knocked on the front door of what you hoped was his house. You twiddled with the ends of your hair while you waited. You weren't a very anxious person, always keeping a chill and confident persona, but situations like these made you an awkward kind of nervous. I should have told Choerry, I bet she would have given me some good advice for this. Wait, what am I saying?! It's not like this is a date! Right! This is not a da-
