Shane: a stereo typical blonde, blue-eyed 18-year-old twink high schooler. 5'7" about 130 lbs of insecurity and teenage angst. He also has a big secret.
Andrew: red-haired pale-skinned freckled 19-year-old college jock and alumni, 6'1" and 170 lbs of "The Man Most Likely to Succeed" and future "Homecoming King". He's also someone who likes big secrets.
Shane:
"Mom, look I am not failing my classes. My STEM subjects are above average, and my socials are not even that bad. I don't need a tutor."
"Not bad? You are almost failing, if I remember you telling me last week. We need to get behind the future problems and fix them before they even manifest. Got it?"
"Mom."
Mom's smile just got wider as I try to squirrel out of the tutoring. I am not failing but I know my mom wants to help me perform better since, I was the one who told her to push me early so I can find a good scholarship and enter a good university to follow someone.
"You're right. This was my idea."
"That's right. It's Andrew the boy we met at the mall, by the way. He's coming here at five."
"--what? Andrew? Five? Today?"
Of course Mom being a self-made businesswoman would be quick to find a tutor and schedule one. "Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency" and "Time is money" and all that. But why Andrew? Did she forget telling me, "Ooof. The former student council president? You have a lot of competition." I know! He was captain of the debate team and our school's ace tennis player, since his sophomore year, and moreover, he is the youngest ever student council president. Mr. "I'm Hot and Handsome and Fucking Perfect."
He really seems like a great guy, helping his family business during the weekend and killing school in the weekdays. I know all of that. I stalk his social media like a creep. Still, why can't Mom just let me pine from a far, in peace.
It's working great so far. Stalking his socials, watching him from the oval track as I run my laps during track-and-field practice, and volunteering on whatever school event the student council plans, tree-planting, food drive, setting up school fairs, anything involving him. I don't need him to know I exist, I just want to admire him from a far.
"There's money on the key basket, I even sent money to your cash app for delivery. Dad and I will be late. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
Mom said winking and blowing me a kiss. After picking up my jaw from the floor from shock, I try to run after her but she's already in the car with Dad who was giving me a thumbs up. Even you Dad?
Really? No chaperon? Do they trust me, fully believe nothing will happen, or they want something to happen and are good with it? What is wrong with them?
"I have thirty minutes. I should try to look presentable." telling myself, convinced nothing is going to happen, I changed to a presentable non-anime shirt, pants, and socks.
Just as I finished organizing my room and desk, I hear my phone announce the doorbell ring.
Opening the notification, I looked at the camera and find him standing in front of the door. Damn. Of course a flannel, plain white t-shirt and jeans looks good on him. His red hair glowing from the sun behind him making him look like an angel. Ugh!
"Hey. The door is unlocked you can come in. I'll meet you down stairs."
After telling him to enter and hearing the quick, quiet "Oh, thank you." I briskly walk composing my face, readying myself to face my crush.
It's okay, we had some fleeting conversations of "Can you help me carry these chairs", "That's not the right place" and "Thanks for volunteering". Yup, I can do this. Game face on.
And he still looks like he walked out of a poster for some clothing brand. Standing casually and looking at the living room painting is totally model-esque pose.
"Hi, Andrew. I'm Shane. My mom said you'll help tutor me."
"Yeah, Mrs. Micheals, your mom told me. Where do you wan to begin?"
After a fraction of a second staring at his face, I realize I forgot to bring my notes and books with me.
