"I can't believe it." My friend said. "Well I do." I said. My friend laughed. "I'm not kidding!" I said. "You always thought boys were stuck up and now you're telling me you fell in love with one?" My friend asked. "Stop it." I said. "It's funny." My friend said. "Be quiet." I said. "Ugh. Why are you so stuck up?" My friend asked. Then she hung up on me. I finished my homework. Then I realized I had math. "Ugh!" I said. My phone buzzed. Ethan was texting me. I opened his text. He asked if I needed help. I texted back replying that I needed help in math. He said that he would be over. I closed my phone. Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. "She's in her room." I heard my mom say. His feet thundered up the stairs and soon I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!" I said. Ethan opened the door. "Your personal tutor has arrived." He said. I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Thanks." I said. He walked over to me. "Geometry." I said. "You're a senior in high school and you don't understand this stuff?" Ethan asked. "Or maybe I just never took this class." I said. Ethan looked at my homework. "You got it in the right order. You just didn't answer it." He said. I wrote my answer down. "Is this right?" I asked. "Yeah." He said. After a while, I finished my math. Ethan checked the rest of my homework. "I have to go." He said a little while later. "Why don't I walk you home?" I asked. "That would be great." Ethan said. I told my mom where I was going then left. We walked to his house. When we got to his house, I used that moment to talk to him. "Thanks for helping me out today." I said. "It's fine. I just didn't want you to fall behind." Ethan said. "No. I meant thanks for helping me find my classes and for helping me pick my stuff up." I said. "You don't need to thank me. That's what friends are for." Ethan said. "I'll see you tomorrow." I said. I walked up to him and gave him a hug. "Friends also do that." I said. Then I left. Ethan just stood there and then went inside.
The next day, I got up and went downstairs. After I ate breakfast, I got dressed and went outside to wait for my bus. The bus arrived. A few stops later, Ethan got on. He sat down with me. "Hi." He said. "Hi." I said. Soon the bus arrived at the school. I went to my locker and put my jacket away. I closed it and turned around. I ran into Ethan and dropped my stuff. Calmly, he helped me pick everything up. We both grabbed for the same thing and our hands touched. Our eyes met. I pulled my hand away. "The bell's going to ring." I said. We gathered our stuff and left. When we got to our class, we sat down. I focused on the class. Later as the bell rang, I got up. I noticed a note on my desk. I picked it up and read it. I turned to Ethan, who was grinning. I stuffed the note in my bag and left the room.
