The New Girl

Chapter 8: Reading partner

Before I start this chapter, I just wanna say how much I appreciate the fact that you guys are giving my story a go and reading it

But I really need some encouragement it's my first book and I feel my book isn't good enough with the response

And I hope you guys can give me a push. Thanks

I am in class and waiting for the teacher and surprisingly Andrew sits beside me. His hair looked messy but it made his blue eyes shine out more. And he wore a casual outfit, a red top and blue jeans.

"Hey" He says

"Hey" I say

"So have you thought about it??" He asks

"Yeah, I guess am saying yes" I say

"Wow so we are gonna be reading a lot. Are you ready for it?" He asks

"Yeah I guess so" I say nervously

"Hey its gonna be nice and am not a teacher, so it won't be that boring" He adds

"Ok if you say so" I say

Soon we are through with class and am leaving when Andrew pulls me back. He grabs my hand and I turn to look at his face. He was still stuffing his bag with his books.

"Hey we aren't done yet" He says

"It's like you are looking forward to this more than me" I say

Ignoring my statement "We  haven't picked subjects yet" He says

"Ok so today what do we read??" I ask

"Biology" He sayd

"You wanna break my little brain you know its still developing" I say pouting my lips

"Yeah I know intense stuff but we need to read it" He says

"OK we are meeting by what time??" I ask

"Four at the library" He says

"Ok" I say

"Promise you are gonna be there" He says

"Maybe" I say

"Promise" He urges

"Fine, yes I would be there" I say

I am back at my room, I find myself running here most of the time. Well it's my room so. I look at the large table at the side of my room, that would be a nice place to read.

Well I better find a biology text book before Andrew thinks am really dumb

I just pick a book from my bag and begin to scan it. I am just seeing drawings and stuff, then I see reproduction and I begin to read. Thinking it's normal biology bla bla bla.

Bam!!! Am closing the book

That stuff is messed up

Of course I have heard about it. But I always tried to avoid it cause I thought it was weird to talk about that stuff. I take a look at the clock.

Damn! Am late

I immediately run to the library and when I see Andrew there, he was reading a book and running his hand through his hair. Gosh!!!! He looked cute. I feel guilty for keeping him here all by himself.

But I was doing something good.

"Hey" I say grabbing a chair

"Hey I was beginning to think you weren't coming" He says

"Me not come, never" I say

"So you brought a Biology textbook" He says pointing to the text book in my hand

"Ooo yeah I thought it will help or I shouldn't have??" I say

"No it's totally okay" He says smiling

"So lets start" I say

"Which topic??"  He asks

Immediately he says that, the pictures and facts about reproduction I saw in that book begins to pop up in my mind. Life is messed up I tell you, messed up.

"You pick" I say immediately

Before I spout nonsense

"Okay the digestive system" He says

And we begin to read for some hours and soon we are through. It was nice and fun, it wasn't just reading but we also had somethings in between. Like we asked each other questions and soon it lead to another conversation and another. Soon we end up talking about ourselves and knowing more about each other.

"So how was the lesson??" He asks

"How do you mean??" I ask confused

"Okay rate the boredom from a scale of one to ten" He says

"Okay I say two, no offence but you tried" I say

"Okay next time i will make sure its zero" He says

"Good luck but you are really good" I say matter of fact- ly

"Thanks" He says

"Thinking of being a teacher??" I ask

"No way" He says

"Wow do you hate teaching or you also think it can't put food on the table" I ask

"No it's just that I have bigger goals" He says

"Wow" I say

"Do you have any goals??" He asks

I began to think, actually no I have never had any in particular. Even if dad talked about it day and night. I just never really thought about my future that much. Maybe, it's because I know my dad is going to handle everything for me.

"No" I say

"Don't worry you will soon find one" He says

"Ok thanks for the lesson" I say
