Tutoring

Teresa's POV

Today is Tuesday, also known as the day I would help Thomas with his English. English is my absolute favorite subject, I love analyzing literature and finding hidden meanings in words. It helped I was pretty good at it.

We decided it would be easier if I just went in his car to go back to my place instead of the bus. I wasn't complaining, more time with Thomas and not going on the bus, what could be better!

"I should give you a ride more often. You shouldn't have to go on the bus everyday if you don't have to." Thomas says as he was driving.

"That's sweet." I smile, "But you don't have to."

"It's no problem." He smiles at me. I swear every look from him makes my heart melt. He'll be the death of me one day.

When we get to the shop I lead him upstairs to the living area. It's relatively small, only having a small living room with a couch and TV, a kitchen, 2 small bathrooms, and 2 bedrooms.

"We can go in here, it's the only place with a table." I say as I lead him into the kitchen. I'm a a bit nervous, I don't usually have friends over and I have no idea how to act. I try to act casual and put my backpack on the table.

"Nice place." He comments, sitting at the table.

"So you needed help in English, what are you reading?" I ask as I sit next to him at the table. I was in AP so we weren't doing the same things. He unzips his pack pack and pulls out a book.

"We're reading A Midsummers Night Stream." He says.

I laugh, "You mean A Midsummer Night's Dream?" I correct.

"I guess you have your work cut out for you." He says, laughing with me. I smile when seeing the old book, clearly a school copy.

"I guess I do, good thing this is one of my favorites. How far have you gotten?" I ask.

"Not very far." He says. "Only a few pages." I tuck my hair behind my ears and look at the page.

"Full of vexation come I, with complaint. Against my daughter Hermia. Stand forth Demertrius. My noble lord, this man hath my consent to marry her." I read. Thomas looks very confused. "Do you get what it means so far?" I ask.

"Not a clue." He says.

"Well, to put it simply. Egeus, who is Hermia's father, wants her to marry Demetrius against her wishes." I say. He scribbles down some notes.

"Okay, I think I get it so far. Douchey dad likes Demertrius." He says. I laugh and keep reading.

"Stand forth, Lysander: and my gracious duke, this man hath bewitch'd the bosom of my child; Thou, thou, Lysander, thou hast given her rhymes, and interchanged love tokens with my child." Thomas looks confused again.

"So Egeus is basically saying that he does not approve of their love, even though Lysander is the one Hermia truly loves. He's also saying that they well, you know." I tell him. He scribbles down more notes, so I assume he gets it.

"You mean they had sex?" He clarifies. I laugh and nod.

I continue to read and explain to him, and after a while he begins to get it some of it on his own, though he still needed help from her.

"I will go and tell him of fair Hermia's flight: Then to wood will he to-morrow night. Pursue her; and for this intelligence. If I have thanks, it is dear expense: But herein mean I to enrich my pain, to have his sight thithier and back again" I read. That marked the end of the first act, and the extent that Thomas had to read.

"So basically, Helena is going to tell Demetrius that Hermia and Lysander are going to run away, so that she can follow him and some how win his love?" Thomas asks. I smile.

"Yes! You've really improved!" I compliment.

"Well you're a good teacher." He says, looking at me. I blush a light shade of pink, taking a small glance at him. He grins before leaning in and pressing our lips together. Sparks flew as we kissed and I felt as if my heart would explode it was beating so fast. I have wanted this again ever since the first time we kissed.

He pulls away after a moment, "Teresa, what are we?" He asks.

"Last time I checked humans." I answer. I always attempt at jokes when I'm nervous.

"Haha. I meant like, are we dating? Or just friends?" He says seriously.

"Well what do you want us to be?" I ask. Every part of me wanted him to want to be in a relationship. I was really nervous he would say friends.

"I want to be with you, Teresa." He smiles. "Do you want to be with me?" He asks. He seems a bit nervous, which is adorable.

"Yes." Is all I can say. I see his eyes light up when he kisses me again.

The next day I woke up with a smile on my face, a smile that hadn't left since my kiss with Thomas. Thanks to a certain anonymous blogger everyone knew we were dating and suddenly I was popular. People said hi to me in the halls, no cheerleaders gave me any trouble, and people didn't pretend like I was invisible.

By lunch, I was practically glowing. It amazes me how people can change their views on something just because it's popular.

"Hey Teresa." Thomas sat next to me at our table. He was followed by 2 other guys I knew were his friends who sat across from us. "This is Newt and Minho."

"Hey guys." I smile.

"I'm glad we could finally meet Tommy's mystery girlfriend." Newt smirks. I blush at the word 'girlfriend'.

"Tommy?" I ask.

"Only he can call me that." Thomas says. We continue to make small talk throughout lunch. It was fun to have more then one friend.

I look past Minho's shoulder and see Brenda glaring at me from afar. I'll worry about her later I think before going back to my amazing day.
