i hummed a 'my bad' and proceeded.
"before i do, i'm going to ask you again savannah."
i paused, waiting for a reaction from her.
nothing.
"why were you late, did you bunk?"
she let out a small aggravated laugh.
"i was meeting my new tutor."
my subconscious laughed at me as i took her statement into thought.
"excuse me?" i was surprised, however, i was slightly hurt.
"i said-" she started her previous statement again until I stopped her with a hand.
"savannah, i'm confused why-"
"i asked my aunt if i could get a new tutor, she was confused herself. so really i shouldn't be here."
i placed the phone down in defeat.
i leaned back and sat down in my seat.
there was a long moment of silence and i didn't enjoy it.
usually this was when we would start our tutoring session.
i was immensely hurt.
i stood up and made my way to the door.
i opened it, waiting for her to move.
i cleared my throat, whispering a harsh whisper.
"you can leave."
she stood up, taking her bags into her hands and made a beeline towards the door.
when she got closer to the threshold, an object had fallen from her jacket.
i bended over, attempting to pick it up.
"i got it-" savannah managed to blurt.
i brushed her off and picked it up anyway.
eyebrows knit, i looked towards savannah.
"are you fucking kidding me savannah?" i held the object in my hand and waved it in front of her face.
i closed the door, blocking her way out.
"you're not leaving until you explain where you really were."
savannah's pov.
"hey, how was your day?"
"nothing exciting." i muttered, slipping into the wooden stool that sat behind the counter.
i sighed, running a hand through my hair.
"i-" i started but then stopped.
i was scared, i'm not good at lying.
i picked up from where i left off.
