"Hey, Isabelle, can you come to my house again today and help me with my homework?"
"Yeah, sure, I don't have any chores to do after school today, so I'm pretty free."
"Woohoo! I was worried about the test coming up soon, but with your help, I'm sure I'll pass."
My name is Isabelle, 18 years old and a senior in high school. The one who just spoke to me is Julia, also 18 years old and in the same class as me.
Julia was 5"10', slightly taller than me, with long blonde hair, which she often tied up into a ponytail. She had blue eyes and a small nose, and always wore fashionable clothes, which had led to her becoming the crush of a lot of boys at school.
Meanwhile, I was more average. I was 5'7" and with medium-length brown hair, that was just long enough to reach past my shoulders. I had some freckles on my face with brown eyes and a round nose, making people describe me as the cute type.
Julia and I had been friends since freshman year of high school. I had always done well in my studies since I was young. Julia, however, isn't really the strongest academically, maybe even slightly dumb, so as soon as we became friends, she started asking for help after school with her homework.
I didn't really mind helping her, since it was a good way to internalize what I've learned, by teaching it to someone else. Of course, there's also another reason.
The only thing that was slightly annoying about the situation was the fact that Julia blatantly didn't pay attention in class. She either sat on her phone when the teacher wasn't looking or daydreaming while staring out the window.
"Julia, if you paid slightly more attention in class you wouldn't have to be worried about the upcoming test," I commented, as we were making our way to her house.
"You don't get it, Isabelle. A girl my age has sooo many things to worry about, so I don't have the energy to also worry about school," Julia replied, continuing "Besides, I have you, don't I?"
I looked at her, slightly insulted. What did she mean by 'a girl my age'? I was the same age as her, only a few months older.
I let it slide without further comment, knowing she probably didn't say it to insult me. I sighed and said, "You know I can't do this forever, right? We aren't even going to the same college after this year."
"I'm aware of that too, though I wish this could just continue forever..." Julia answered and looked at me with a side-eye.
I ignored the second half of her reply, taking it as just empty wishes, and we turned around the corner to her street.
Julia lived in a two-story building in the rich part of town. When we reached her front door, she opened it without having to unlock it, indicating that someone was already home. This realization made me happy, but I tried to not show it on my face.
As she walked inside, I followed without hesitation. Since I've been here quite a few times by now, I didn't really worry about seeming impolite anymore.
"Moommm, are you home?!" Julia yelled, as she started taking off her shoes.
Footsteps sounded from the second room to the right of the door, which I knew was where the kitchen lay in the house.
Then, a mature female voice rang from the door. "Yes, honey. Didn't I tell you this morning that I would be working from home today?" Julia's mom said, as she appeared in the doorway, smiling at us.
The other reason I mentioned earlier, as to why I didn't mind helping Julia with her homework was her Mom.
42 years old and 6"0' tall with long, blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, and a small nose with pink lips. She was clearly not overweight, but had more of a full-figured build, with a protruding bosom as well as a firm behind. Today, she was wearing an apron on top of a summer dress, further revealing her beautiful figure.
It didn't take me long after my visits to Julia's house to figure out her name: Evelyn.
Apparently, her husband left early after she gave birth to Julia and she had therefore raised Julia on her own ever since, not finding a new partner.
"Oh, I see Isabelle's with you again today. Thank you for always helping my daughter with her homework," Evelyn said to me, as she looked at me and giggled slightly.
I realized that I must have been staring too long at her body, and quickly forced out a reply, "That's okay, Miss Evelyn. Julia is my best friend, so of course I'm willing to help her. Besides, it helps me remember my studies."
"You're such a good girl, Isabelle," Evelyn said, sending quivers through my body.
"Mom, can you bring something for us to drink while we go upstairs and study?" Julia asked.
"Yeah, sure, honey. It'll just be a little while, since I have to finish something in the kitchen," Evelyn said and walked back into the kitchen after sending a smile our way.
"Let's go," Julia said, and started walking to her room. I followed right after her and we began to talk about the upcoming test.
After entering her room and setting our stuff to the side, we sat down at the coffee table she had and started going through what was going to be on the test.
As we were studying, Julia shifted her position, and a strange sour scent hit my nose. I tried to find the source of the smell and noticed that Julia's feet had moved closer to me after shifting positions. As I started comprehending where the smell was coming from, my train of thought got broken by Julia.
"Hey, you said earlier that you have the whole day free, right?" Julia asked with a casual tone.
I forgot about my former thoughts and answered, "Yes, I have gotten an early weekend from work, and my parents decided to take a week-long trip to meet some friends. They have hired someone to do the chores at home while they are away. As I have already prepared for the test, I'm pretty free at the moment. Why do you ask?"
"Hmmm, then, do you want to have a sleepover today?" Julia suggested cheerfully. "We have known each other for around three years now and we haven't even slept together yet!"
I overlooked the weird phrasing of the last part of what Julia said and replied happily, "Sure, let's do it," I said in a haste, before realizing, "but I don't really have anything packed to stay over."
"Don't worry about that; you can just get something from me if there's anything you need," Julia replied, assuredly.
