It's been four days since my parents found out about my notes. My mom already forgot it, but my dad is sending me death glares whenever he comes to my room and I'm not studying.

I tried to learn more like my dad said, but I'd always get distracted. Also, Ashton didn't try to contact me any further. What a great 'tutor'.

Of course I see him at lunch in school every day, but I never want to bother him.

When I got home today no one was home. My dad was working and mom was at the funeral from my grand aunt Gina who I sadly never met.

I went in to the kitchen to search for some food when I saw a small note on the counter.

'Hey Mikey hope you had a great day at school. I already left for the funeral
xx Mom'

I decided to text her back, so I got my phone out and wrote a quick message.

M: 'Just read your note mom. I hope everything is ok. I'm really sorry about your loss, I know you loved Aunt Gina. Mikey x'

I set my phone down and continued my search for something to eat when my phone buzzed.

A: 'Hey, wrong number mate. It's Ashton. I'm sorry about your Aunt Gina. ps.: we should start our tutor thing.'

My eyes widened when I realized I sent the message to the wrong number. I quickly forwarded the message to my mother and texted Ashton back.

M: 'Oh sorry mate! Don't worry, I didn't even know her, but thanks anyways. We can study whenever you are free. Only text me.'

I got out some chips and coke when my phone buzzed again.

First it was my mom's answer saying she was ok, and telling me she left money in my room. The other was from Ashton.

A: 'What about now? I'm free, plus I heard you have history test tomorrow. ;)'

Shit I totally forgot about the history test.

I sent a quick reply to Ashton saying he could come over at 5 along with my address. I went to my room with the food and drinks and couldn't help but be a bit nervous for when Ashton comes over.

Knock Knock.

Fuck.

Why do guests always arrive when I am on the toilet?

I finished everything in the bathroom, never forgetting to wash my hands, and ran downstairs. Quickly checking myself in the mirror before opening the door.

I opened the door and found nobody, I frowned and looked around. My lips only turned into a smile when I looked down and saw a curly haired boy playing with a white fluffy kitty. I coughed lightly getting Ashton's attention.

"Oh hi Michael! Sorry, isn't that kitty just cute I mean look at her! Is it yours?" He asked smiling showing his dimples.

"Sadly no, but she is always walking around the streets. Anyways, come in!" I said letting him inside and closing the door.

"Do you want something to drink or eat?" I asked Ashton who was looking around.

"Eh no, but thank you." Ashton replied.

"Alright so let's go upstairs."

When we got into my room, Ashton curiously looked around before he sat down on my bed and I sat down next to him.

"By the way, you knew Luke Hemmings lives right across your street?" He asked looking at me.

"Um, yeah." I replied looking down at my hands.

"I thought you guys were best friends?" He continued now looking at a picture of me and my family next to my bed. It seems like Ashton doesn't know what Luke did to me.

"We were. You probably heard what happened. Can we start studying now?" I asked grabbing my history book from my school's bag.

"Well, I actually didn't heard it but if you don't want to talk about it ok. Let's study!" Ashton exclaimed and winked at me.

"What the fuck is that even!"

"No need to swear." Ashton exclaimed, making me roll my eyes.

"I don't understand a thing you say! Like why the hell is the war so important?!"

"Well, because." He simply said.

"No it's not just 'because', this is so stupid, I don't need this." I protested crossing my arms.

"Michael, just pay attention!"

"I'm trying!" I yelled raising my voice and throwing my history book on the floor.

"Hey hey! I think we need a break." Ashton said grabbing my hands in his big ones, making me look up at him.

I couldn't help but blush 'cause of Ashton's gesture. He noticed and quickly let go of my hands.

"No, let's try again. I need to understand this." I said grabbing my book and coughing awkwardly. He nodded and started explaining again. There was a bit of tension but we both acted like nothing happened.

After a few hours, we were done with studying. I didn't know 100% of it, but I understood the important things.

Ashton also wrote me some small notes about important people and dates. I was kind of sad when he had to leave even if we didn't really got to know each other, I liked his company.

"Well, good luck at the test! If you feel unsure tomorrow, come talk with me before class ok?" He asked as walking to the door.

"Yeah, thanks! How did you even know I have a history test tomorrow?" I asked curiosity taking over me.

"Calum Hood told me. He also said 'make sure he understands everything'." He said smiling before leaving.

Maybe, Calum still cares about me.
