You and I
~ Chapter 6 ~
Abbey Pov
Its been 20 minutes and we are still on the first question. '' Again, what is x(12) - 12 - 13 if x= ,'' I ask again. '' Um... 20,'' he guesses, but I want to slam my head into a wall. '' No, its 35, how did you even get that answer,'' I yell.
''Sorry, I'm not good at this stuff,'' he apologizes. I roll my eyes,'' I can see that.'' He looks up at me,'' Why do you hate me?''
I don't know why I'm being so hateful to Harry, I guess I'm just scared of what Bethany will do to me when she finds out.
'' I'm sorry, lets just get back to the tutoring lesson,'' I say with out looking up.
'' What is x if 7(2x-3)- 4(x + 5)= 8(x-1)+3,'' I ask more nicely. Harry groans in frustration, but he tries to solve the problem anyways.
A few minutes pass and I think he is stuck. Another couple of minutes pass ,'' I think I got it, is it x= 18,'' he asks. I look into the book for the answer, to my surprise it is 18. I look up at him in shock. '' Fuck, I got it wrong didn't I,'' he must have missed read my facial expression. I shake my head back and froth,'' No, its right,'' I say excited.
'' Really,'' he is shocked himself, I hand him the book. His eyes are about to pop out of his head as he sees the answer. A smile creeps onto his features,'' Maybe you should be more nice so I can get the questions right.''
I laugh,'' Well maybe I should,'' he start to laugh too.
A few question later the bell rings,'' Well that's it for today,'' I say with a smile. '' Thank god, my brain hurts,'' Harry says as he rubs his head. '' We only did 5 questions,'' I laugh.
'' But they were really hard though,'' he complains, but still manages to put a smile on. '' Oh boo-hoo cry me a river,'' I say trying not to smile, but fail miserable.
Harry fakes being hurt by what I said,'' Maybe I will.''
I can't help but to laugh at him,'' I got to go, class is about to start.''
'' I'll walk you there,'' he says. ''No,'' I scream, when I do the librarian looks at me, and I mouth a 'sorry'.
''No,'' I whisper to Harry. ''Why its right by my next class?''
I look at him,'' No I'm fine, bye.''
I walk off and to my next class, I would love for Harry to walk me to class, but I can't risk Bethany seeing us. She told me to stay away from Harry and I have been trying to. But every time I try to I can't get away.
When the bell rings, I make it to my seat just in time.
End of Day
Finally school is over, this has not been my day. I head to the music room, like I always do after school ends.
'' Hello Mrs. Anderson,'' I greet the music teacher. She smiles,'' You're early today.''
''Yep, I want to get enough practice time today,'' I say as I pick up my guitar that I leave here. I leave it here, because I don't want my dad to break the last thing I have of my mom. It use to be her guitar and she always try to teach me how to play it.
When memories of my mom come into my mind, I push them back. I don't want to cry here, not now.
I grab my pick and start to play then start the first verse.

Singing this song reminds me of my mom and brother. Me and my brother would listen to her play this song and sing it. It makes me miss them a lot wishing they were with me.
When I finish I see someone in the doorway.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!
