Chapter 10

The rest of the day went lazily. I was very much tired. I finally decided to get a shower since it was so hot outside. While taking shower there were many thoughts on my mind but every bit of them was about Raymond. I really don't know what is happening to me.

I mean the past two weeks have been a disaster. Suddenly, I the nerd am paired up with Raymond Reynolds a.k.a Mr. Popular of school and all of a sudden those typical chick flick stories ran through my mind.

But you know what? This is the real life. Not a fantasy.

I went out wrapped in a towel and got a tank top and ripped blue jeans to wear. I heard the doorbell and I had a look at the clock it was five in the evening. I knew who it was. So I went downstairs in the dining room with my notebook in one hand and pen in other, I turned around to see none other than Mike.

Yeah, today I had to teach Mike and then I have to go Raymond's house to help him with the Project.

"Hey," Mike said in a toneless voice.

"Hey! Is anything wrong, Mike?" I was worried about him. You see Mike is too much disturbed especially by the fact that their financial conditions aren't well. I have to help him at any cost. Once I asked Mom to help them with the money and Mom did ask Aunt Telsa about it but she refused and I respected her decision because she knew it that her condition wasn't going to change anytime soon and helping her with the money would then be for a long passage of time. Which will in a way disturb our financial condition too.

"Umm-Soaf" He choked.

"Yeah? Speak up, Mikey." I asked. Trying to cheer him up. I knew something is wrong with him but he will never speak of his problems until they become a misery.

"Soaf, c-can you please ask Raymond to teach me?" He asked sweetly. While pulling that sweet innocent puppy face at me.

What the hell!

NO

Am I that bad at teaching?

"You know, I'm offended," I said giving him a pointed look.

"His gaze fell down on the floor, his lips pouting and then he lifted his gaze and I swear he was pleading with his eyes!

"No" I let out a shout while giving that angry look at him. He still continued with those innocent looks and I finally gave up.

"Pretty please? With a cherry on the top? C'mon Soaf. Please." He started pleading.

I let out a sigh. "Okay drama queen!" I said as I rolled my eyes and lifted my hands up in surrender.

Why.

Why does it always happen to me?

Raymond being Raymond did not pick up his mobile when I tried calling so I dropped him a message.

Hey!I want a favor. Can you please come over it's kinda urgent. If you're free?
