Three Years of Hurt — A Different Kind of Look

When do I stop with this fake persona and get him to like me? I'm so hopeless. I wish you were here to give me some advice. Seven out of eight. Not bad for a footballer. Have you always been such a smart ass?

Yes. Some of us weren't born with sports genes, so our minds are all we have. You're doing fine. Brawn without brains is by far the worst position to find yourself in. Clearly you don't think so. Otherwise, why would you be here getting tutored a person you hate the most in this

I don't hate you. Yeah, right. Am I supposed to believe you've been bullying me all this time because you like What?

I, I, never mind. It's not like you objected to tutoring me. I wanted an extra credit. Whatever your reasons are, thank you.

I really need to pass all my subjects if I want to leave this town. Yeah, you not bullying me is thanks enough. He keeps looking over here. He's probably making sure I'm not telling anyone about the tutoring.

That's not what that look is. Maya. Maya, I'm just saying, that's not a keeping tabs look. That's a different kind of look.
