“So let me got this straight. Out of everyone, you have to tutor Juliet the witch Mira snorted, leaning between the driver seat and passenger seat and twisted her head slightly to look at me.
Inodes. I’ll earn some extra credit for college and God knows how much I need to get into that university”
Mira’s brows furrowed. “Speaking about that, which one are you aiming to get into can’t make up my mind…
“Harvard University”
Suddenly the car serves a bit and Kaleb mumbles an apology. I looked at him confused and noticed the deadly grip he had on the poor steering wheel
“What the hell Kale?” Mira hissed as she had ended up bumping her head on the seat.
“Sorry I got distracted”
“By what? Bailey’s response? Is lover boy scared to do long utance?” Mira teased which caused Kaleb to spare her a brief glare. She laughed but I didn’t find it amusing as I now realize that Kaleb and I never talked about college and what it could mean for the future of us
“What college are you applying for?” asked him faintly
“Yale.” Was his response and i saw his jaw clach. “I got a chance for a scholarship there.

Ined and Lilian shihed, rubbing her eyes. “Who’s this Alar”
*Uhm Juliet. She’s a classmate of mine I replied to my sister who was already getting off the bed. I passed the Barbie mode apologetically “Raincheck?”
Lilan nodded, grinning from ear to ear. “Yes! Maybe Bath will join us for the next movie, I’m sure he’ll love Barbie”
Ecringed highly doubt our older brother would like Barbie movies however for Lilian he’d suffer through it fo

She pouted, whined about Bash always bring busy studying and left soon after
Hooked at Juliet who still stood behind the door. “Aren’t you coming in!”
She nod, smiling sheepishly. “Sorry didn’t want to just enter without permission”
“it’s fine” got off the bed and made my way over to my desk, Tomorrow Kristina, Mira and I would be having our own study session al
“You can have a seat on the bed, or do you prefer here?” I tapped my finger on the chair I usually sat in to do my work
“Anywhere is fine.” She grinned and sat on my bed. I took the books we needed to study and walked across my room toward the bed
And if so, which one do you find most dificult?” questioned as I sat down in my bed, awardly
“Do you have problems with one subject or more? And if so spreading out the books.
It’s weird having Juliet in my room, especially when too not long ago we were nothing but enemies. Now having her here, was odd
“Hey before we start,” Juliet started, looking at me with a small smile. “Can you get me a cup of water please? I forgot my bottle and my throat is so
parched.”
Seeing as she was my guest, I thought it was better for me to be polite and get her what she wanted…even though I was still limping tembly
Inodded, moving off the bad and telling heri’d be back. As entered the kitchen mom is just baking up an apple crumble.
lopened the fridge and take out a bottle of water. “Hey baby” mom tries to get my attention,
“Hmm?” I turn to her.
“That girl,” mom brows are furrowed as she stirs the apple in the pan. “Is she a friend of yours?”
Juliet a friend?
Even though we were not as hostile as we were before, that didn’t mean I considered her a friend o

“No,” I answered honestly “she’s a classmate I am to help butor to earn more points for college.”
Mom nodded. “Good” Her voice lowered. “Because she kind of gives me the creeps I hate how so sweet she was. It seemed so fake and forced.”

mom wasn’t comfortable with Juliet here then I get rid of her. No extra points comes before the comfort of my family
“No that’s not necessary,” she smiled reassuringly. “Just have fun tutoring okay?”
Uncertain, I nod and mom gave me one more reassuring smile before returned to my room. However as I stepped foot into my room, noted that the ar seemed more tense and that Juliet was broothing a bit more hasty
I became confused when she got up and made an excuse to leave. “Un not feeling well sol just go home. Reschedule?”

She didn’t wait for my reply and left me staring at her back, mind raking with questions.
