[this isn't like the other chapters!]

alex was patiently waiting in the library and occasionally glancing at the clock.

5:08pm, he should be here soon she thought.

soon, she sees someone rushing towards her.

"you're here for a tutoring session right?" he asked her once he finished panting.

"yeah okay sure." she replied awkwardly.

"désolé, j'était en retard. d'accord. bonjour madame alexadra. je m'appelle charlie. je vais t'aider pour que tes marques en français sont plus haut. tu veux qu'on commence maintenant?" he quickly said.

"what did you just say?" she asked surprised.

"oh. i just said 'sorry for being late, my name's charlie, i'll help you get your grades up and i asked if you wanted to start start now." he explained.

"no, no. what did you call me?"

"alexandra. that's your name right?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.

"yeah. but everybody calls me alex. even the teachers. plus, i don't even know you, how do you know my really name?"

"oh, uhm, yeah, madame caron told me," he said. "just to get to know ya a bit."

"but she calls me alex too? anyways whatever. i like your name by the way."

"thanks," he smiled. "my parents gave it to me."

"no shit sherlock. but really it's like charlie and the chocolate factory! you're not a psycho like willie wonka are you?"

"ah ha no." he laughed sarcastically.

"no need to be rude mister." she scolded.

"why you gotta be so rude? don't you know i'm human too? i'm gonna marry her anyway," he sang.

"you remind me of someone, you know?"

"oh really? who?" he asked.

"oh um, how do i explain this? uh, i'm kinda dating this guy, but i don't know who he is, what he looks like or what his name is..."

"that's a bit dangerous don't you think?"

"yeahh, but he goes to our school. he chooses to be anonymous all the time. i'll never tell him this, but i think it's kinda romantic. you know, having a secret admirer?" she said.

"oh i know what you're talking about," he replied looking at something. "let's get started shall we?"

---

"ok. la bataille. what does that mean?"

"i don't know, but it kinda sounds like batman." she said.

alex and charlie's tutoring session was almost over, but they hadn't even made progress.

currently, he was just asking her to translate words but of course, alex being alex, always goes off topic.

"who's your favorite super hero?" she asked him.

"why?"

"i don't know, i just wanna know!" she replied.

"i like the hulk or iron man, what about you?"

"my favorite superhero is -"

"lemme guess, spiderman?" he cut her off.

"how did you know?!" she asked surprised.

"i don't know, i just had this weird feeling that it was spidey."

"really? wow okay."

"nah i just looked at your notebook while you were writing down the answers to exercise 3. you're good at art you know?"

"oh. well okay. oh by the way, i just remembered, you should go to the café. you know the one near the school? i perform there some nights and i really hope you come." she told him.

"are you sure spiderman won't be there?" he muttered.

"what? i didn't hear you."

"oh it's nothing," he said. "let's get back to work shall we?"
