"you perfectly understand the last equations we solved together, right?." Cole grilled for the second time within a span of few minutes.
"Yes Cole, I perfectly understand the last equations we solved." I repeated exasperatedly. It was 4pm on a Tuesday evening, I just wanted to conclude the tutorial so I could take a well deserved nap, scratch out the well deserved part.
"I just wanted to be sure, seeing as he announced there'll be a test tomorrow." Cole explained
"A what? When? How? Where? How come I had no idea whatsoever?." I was unpleasantly perplexed
"He announced it in class today, after the bell had been rung. It was a quick statement." Cole quipped
"This is a nightmare." I groaned
"Why? Do you have a lot of ground that's been untouched?" Cole speculated
"No, I just would really like to take a nap." I sighed
"Too bad for you, huh?." Cole commented dryly
"How nice of you." I replied cynically
"There's actually no test." Cole confessed
"Thanks a lot." I groaned in annoyance inwardly slightly relieved.
"You're welcome." Cole smirked seemingly pleased with himself
"For a minute I was a bit worried." I mumbled then halted before adding
"Can we proceed now?"
"Sure, open the page you find difficult let's unravel it layer by layer." Cole replied staring fixedly at my face
"Found it." I smiled victoriously
"Awesome." His gaze on my face still unfaltering
"Do I have something on my face?" I reached for my face self consciously
"No, I was just wondering if i could have a glass of water, or fruit juice or if possible iced tea, just anything sweet and refreshing?" He inquired
"you want chilled water or pineapple juice?" I quizzed, that was the only available option at that moment.
"Let me have the pineapple juice." He decided
"Alright." I stood up and proceeded to retrieve the juice.
He took it from me with a satisfied smile "thank you."
"Why're you smiling like that? What's the matter?" His smile was suspicious to me
"Like what?" He smiled widely before taking a little sip of the drink
"Like you've done something bad." I settled into the seat next to him cautiously, the boy's brain was filled with a truckload of mischief and mayhem.
"Me? Nah, I'm always on my best behavior." Cole responded taking another sip of his juice
I shook my head at that "yeah right."
"Shall we delve into it?" He asked sliding the textbook over to himself a little
"Okay." I answered and he commenced explanation. As I continued to pay attention I realized it wasn't as tough as I'd drawn it out to be in my mind.
We were more than halfway done when he paused suddenly.
"What's the matter?" I inquired
"Can I have snacks? You know maybe cake or something. My mouth feels really lonely." He answered
"We only have banana bread and some crackers." I remarked patiently
"What type of crackers?" He questioned
