Chapter: 18
After school, me and Corbyn were planning on going to Corbyn's house. We already arranged that while eating lunch.
I hopped into Corbyn's car and we drove to his house.
'So, are you already feeling a bit better?' Corbyn asked me while driving.
'I already told you, I'm doing just fine,' I responded.
'Simon told me you weren't feeling that well.'
'Alright, well, I'm just feeling and looking like shit, but I don't like it when people pity me,' I responded.
'I think you look drop dead gorgeous without make up,' Corbyn said and gave me a smile.
'Stop it,' I said while blushing a bit.
'I mean it though. I know that the rest of the guys think that too.'
'I don't think so..' I responded, not knowing what to say.
Corbyn just gave me a smile as he probably noticed that I was getting a bit shy.
I was just getting lost in my thoughts, when I suddenly realized that we drove past Corbyn's house.
'Corbyn you need to turn around, we drove past your house,' I said confused.
'I know that,' he responded with a little smile on his face.
'I'm confused,' I answered.
'Why study at my house, if we can study at the beach in the sun?' Corbyn said while looking at me with now a bigger smile.
'Oh my god, I freaking love the beach. That's a great idea Corbyn.'
'I know right.'

Shortly after, we arrived at the beach.
I grabbed my bag out of the car and Corbyn and I made our way to the beach.
I took my shoes off so I could feel the soft but also burning hot sand between my toes.
It was the perfect day to visit the beach. The sky was clear, the waves were crashing on the shore and the sun was not too hot.
Corbyn and I searched for a good spot and I sat down on my jacket in the sand.
'I wish I had brought my swimwear though,' I said as Corbyn and I both looked at the beautiful blue ocean that laid ahead of us.
'Me too.'
'Well, maybe another time,' I responded and grabbed my math book out of my bag.
'We're not here to swim. We're here to make me smart.'
'That's true,' Corbyn answered and grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil out of his bag.
The piece of paper almost flew away instantly, but Corbyn managed to prevent that from happening.
'Alright, let's start with exercise B..'
***
After a while, Corbyn and I couldn't resist the ocean any longer and decided to walk along the shore with our feet in the water.
It was really nice talking to Corbyn.
Pov: Corbyn
I looked at Jasmine who was smiling from ear to ear. I'm happy that I got to brighten up her day.
I was in the middle of a conversation when suddenly my phone rang.
I took my phone out of my pocket and saw 'Daniel' on the screen.
Phone call || Daniel
Corbyn: Hey bro.
Daniel: Jo, I'm hanging with the boys, you should come too.
Corbyn: Nahh, I'm sorry man, I'm with Jasmine right now.
Daniel: Really?
Jonah: Dude, bro's before hoes man!
Great. I was on speaker.
Corbyn: Maybe another time.
Jack: Is she your girlfriend or something?
Corbyn: No, she's not. I'm tutoring her right now.
Jonah: Oooh, we get it, she's one of you tutor girls. Well, if that's the case, I don't blame you bro.
Corbyn: No, she's not like that. I'm really tutoring her. I wouldn't do that to her alright..
At this point, Jasmine looked very confused at me.
Daniel: Sure. See ya.
Corbyn: Alright, bye.
Phone call with Daniel has ended.
'What was that all about?' Jasmine asked confused.
'Nothing.'
'No, she's not like that?' Jasmine said repeating my own words.
'Please Jas, I don't want to explain it to you,' I said with my head down.
'Why not? It's about me right? I have the right to know.'
'I'm embarrassed about it.'
Jasmine suddenly stopped with walking and looked at me, waiting for an explanation.
I let out a sigh before speaking up.
'I used to have like a lot of girls to tutor and first of, I really wanted to help them, but I discovered pretty quickly that they didn't need my help. They just saw it as a way to hang out with me. When I discovered that, I kinda maybe took a little advantage of that,' I explained, hoping this would be enough.
'So?' she asked.
'So what?' I responded not wanting to continue my story.
'What did you do?'
I let out another sigh.
'I just like... You know..' I started awkwardly.
I looked at Jasmine, hoping she would understand it.
'You fucked them?' Jasmine said bluntly.
'Yes. I know. It's fucking disgusting. I don't do it anymore.'
'It's okay. I mean, those girls also took advantage of your kindness that you actually wanted to help them,' Jasmine said.
I'm glad she doesn't think I'm disgusting.
'Now I get it. They think I'm just another one of your girls?'
'Yeah, but I would never.'
'Not that I wouldn't do it because you're not beautiful or something, just because we're friends,' I said and immediately regretted it because it sounds stupid.
'Let's forget about it okay,' I quickly said.
'Yeah,' she responded with a little laugh.
I'm kinda glad that I told her. I've never told that to anyone besides the boys, and they just think it's cool or something, while it's not.
