Edward

"How lucky are you that I'm your my partner. First off SCB and now I'm your bench mate too!" I make fun of Diana as she is all ready to teach me after school was done.

"I'm not lucky! I am cursed to be your partner!" Diana denies

"Ehh....do you even know how many girls would die to be in your place Diana?" I ask her

"Uh huh! Would they be able to teach you a chapter atleast?" She shuts my mouth with her witty humour

" So.....Can we start with today's class?" Diana asks me

"Sure...." I agree

"So....I'll just mark the most important chapters that we will be doing.....then the rest....We will do when we're done with the impotant one's....is that alright?" She explains as she hold the Economis text book in one hand and a pencil in the other

"Um...yeah...anything is fine..." I agree

As Diana was marking something in the book I was really getting disturbed with the buzzing in my pocket.

"Can you like turn that thing off or just throw it in the rubbish?" Diana complains and she gets back to marking

I slowly take my phone from my denim pocket making sure that Diana wouldn't notice. I lost my mind when I saw texts from my mom.

Hey Ed. When are you returning home? I was wondering if you could bring Diana home. I really want to see Diana. It's been since forever. See you soon son.
Love you.

OMG!!!! What was my mom upto??? I have no clue how Diana was bearing me. I can feel the pressure she's teaching me in and on the other hand my mom wants to meet her.

"So..." Diana uttered and I quicky shoved my phone in my pocket
"Yeah?" I mumble
" I will give you some notes that I made....you can take a copy of it and keep it for you're reference at home." She helps me

I smile thinking her dedication towards her duty.

" I've marked all the important things in the 1st chapter....if you're able to have a quick read through....just do that..." she says as she hand over the book to me.

"Thanks...." I acknowledge

Today Diana taught me the first chapter in Economics. I must say that she taught me really well. I really didn't know how 2 hours just passed by.

"So....did you understand anything at all?" She doubts herself
"Yeah! Of course I did."
"O..kay. So ....I'll see you tomorrow then..." she packs her bag and picks it up and put's the handle on the shoulder

"Yeah...." I say

I saw Diana exiting the room and I just sat there. I didn't tell her about mom's invite. I know she would hesistate. I thought about offering to drop her home but I knew she would reject my help like the other day I was left with her Starbucks drink. So I just stopped thinking about Diana and I called Julia.

"Hey Julia...." I say as she answers my call
"I'm in room number 40.....you can come now." I say to her and I disconnect the call and wait for her.

"Hey boyfriend" Julia calls out to me as she enters the room with the most fancy clothes! I swear!

"Hey..." I greet briefly and give a not so happy smile.

She fixes her messy dark brown hair and I look at her as she fixes it. She looks at her phone to check herself and then she looks at me and smiles

"Manuel asked me out today." She confesses as I fidget with my car key.

Hearing what Julia told me I just stop fidgetting with my keys and I turn to her.

"What? Doesn't he know about us" I ask her
"You mean our relationship?" Julia points out as she winks at me
"You know....you know what I mean Julia!" I voice out with a very irritated tone
"Oh...Mr. Boyfriend....don't talk to your girlfriend like that.....I might become someone else's girlfriend....and...."
"And?" I indicate for a continuation
"And.....you know what will happen....." she smiles

I pause for a while and let out a breath.

"I'm really sorry...I'm just stressed out Julia....I'm just....sorry...."I realised my mistake
"Awww......I was just kidding Babe." She gets up from her chair and stands behind me and places her hand on my shoulder and bends down to my ear and whispers "or....maybe not"

I stand up in my place and her hands were still on my shoulders. She comes in front of me and puts her hand around my neck. Her chill palms send down a shiver down my body.

"I know that you'll never let me go babe cause....you....you are the best boyfriend" she said poking my chest and leaning closer to my mouth

"Uh...Julia.....Julia....I've got to go....." I say as I help myself in unlocking her hands that have been resting on my neck and bringing them beside her body.

I move towards my bag and pick it up amd sling it on my shoulder. I was just saving myself from Julia's "girlfriend drama" because I was really tired and irritated much.

"C'mon Edward! There's hardly any fun in our relationship!" She complains as I put my hoodie on myself

"I don't really think we should have fun either....you know....let's keep our relationship that way." I highlight

"What's gotten into you today?" Julia argues

"Julia just....okay...I've gotta get home...I'm leaving...I'm just sorry alright....I'm just tired...I'll be better tomorrow.I'm so sorry." I say exhausted

Julia watches me get out of room 40. I couldn't tolerate the stress in me anymore so I had to be a little rude to her even though a part of me thought she deserved it.

I just drive out my car from the parking space and off I go home. Home, where I could be myself in my room.
