She slowly and carefully took the pen then wrote Ethan’s whole name. She was trembling while doing that. Haha! I, however, wrote Tyrone’s name on the fifteenth number. Don’t get me wrong, I am doing this for his sake. He had potential and the way I saw it yesterday, he enjoyed playing.
When I examined other papers, Tyrone also auditioned for the Dance Club. By the way, Tyrone danced in the past. He only quitted because of Synthia. See? He gave up several things for Synthia, but that girl just took Tyrone for granted. Worse, she used him to be with his friend. Well done! Ugh.
Speaking of Tyrone’s friend and Synthia, they were coming here.
“I’ll go back to the room, I lost my appetite.” I told Louisse then went back. I should be going to the canteen but nevermind.
When I arrived, I saw Tyrone sleeping. I, however, sat on the teacher’s table even though it was not allowed. I would just also sleep.
“Alzeah.”
“Oh?” I said while my head was lowered on the table.
“Earlier…”
I sat properly. “You don’t have to explain.”
“Later…”
“Later, you can do anything you want.”
After I spoke, he stayed quiet. The whole day, I acted neutral with Tyrone. I didn’t shout, got angry, or anything. I hadn’t also spoken to him. Everytime he felt sleepy, I would elbow him. Everytime he didn’t want to copy notes, I would glare at him. Everytime he couldn’t understand something, I’d explain it to him. And everytime he felt lazy, I would make him recall his goals.
“What, do you really want to prove them that you’re not an idiot? That you shouldn’t be casted aside just to make your friend someone’s boyfriend? Do you want to prove that you shouldn’t be left and be taken for granted to Synthia? If you don’t want to, then be lazy forever. If you want to, it’s not yet too late, study-study sometimes if you have time.”
In our English project, we were chosen as thesis buddies. The deadline was still far but as Sir Josh said, our handsome teacher, we should choose our buddy already. Kalie even came to us but Tyrone said…
“I already have a partner.”
He was really kind to Kalie and me! Well, at least, he was nicer to me. Because if not, he wouldn’t have a tutor and coach.
Even in our PE class, we were partners. It was stated to choose your own partners, eh. Who would have helped each other if not the two of us? I also heard Kalie behind us mouthed flirt and for sure, I was the one she was talking about since I was her only enemy. What did I even do to her? F*cking shit. I tried hard to stay calm today since someone might give me strepsils again.
Anyway, we still hadn’t started. The teacher only let us choose our partner. He also discussed and then on the next meeting, he would teach us the basics; individual at first and when we learned the steps, only then that we could partner up. It was fine with me since I practiced ballet and Tyrone also because he was a dancer.
Exactly as the class dismissed, I immediately fixed my things and directly went to the locker to bring the things needed at home.
“Do we have something to do?” Tyrone asked, What a miracle!
“A little, but still needs to be finished. Where are your things?”
“At my house.”
I breathed in and out. “Wow. So the reason why your bag is light was because binder and ballpen are the only things you bring. At least you have ballpen.”
“You’re too modest today? It’s unsuitable.”
“What do you care?” I sighed. Was change not allowed?
“You’re still hotheaded. ‘Kay, I’ll leave. Just text me the details.”
And he actually left. Was he serious that I’d just text him the things he needed to do?! He’d just order me around? Secretary?! Excuse me?! Ugh! He should prepare himself. I’d print several worksheets and let him answer those. Even one mistake, I’d make him redo all of it. Was I strict? It didn’t matter, this was a must especially with Tyrone’s attitude! Ahh, I want to hit him!
And where was he going?!
Would it be bad to follow him?
