章 5: Ch 5 First day of tutoring
I increased the volume of music and moved my body with lyrics. One of the girls weekend was the song that was playing. I swinged my waist and did a little twirl and started jumping along with the beats.
" ...We don't gotta be in love, no
I don't gotta be the one, no.
I just wanna be the one of your girls
tonight....." I started singing loudly.
I flinched when I heard a loud bang. I looked to see that my mom was standing at the door and damn she was angry. Holy fuck what did I do?
" LYRIC..." She shouted.
I immediately stopped the music and said innocently,
" yeah mom."
" What time is it?"
" T.....Time..?" I was confused.
Why was she asking me time? I looked into my phone to see the time. It was 4:50 pm.
" It's 4:50 pm...." I told her placing down my phone on bed.
" You really forgot." She was annoyed. Disgust was reflecting in her eyes.
Then it ringed.
" Oh shit..." I said that a bit loudly.
I smiled at her like her anger would wash away after seeing my smile.
"I will teach you a lesson later young lady." She eyed me angrily.
I really fucked up this time. I tried to play it cool but before I could say anything she turned and closed the door with a loud bang and I flinched with that sound.
" Lyric moon you are done for. Get your ass ready. How could I forgot, that from today I have to tutor Theo."
I talked to myself.
I was really dumb. There's only eight minutes left. I was wearing a blue tee and black jean. That would be alright for now. I just brushed my hair into a ponytail and wore my sneakers.
I ran all the way to his apartment. I reached there and took a deep breath before knocking the door.
I combed my tail with my hands and knocked the door. My heartbeat was increasing bit by bit. My palms were sweaty. I rubbed my plams on my jean.
Finally the door opened. He was wearing t shirt and shorts. Atleast he wasn't shirtless today. I sighed. He turned without saying something. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me. He was sitting on kitchen island with all the study material.
I went and sat beside him. He wasn't even looking at me, just focusing on book. How would I teach him like this?I was already nervous.
I gathered all my broken courage and said,
" Let's start by introduction."
I cried internally. I was able to say that without stuttering. Thank God. It was a small achievement.
He turned towards me and raised his one eyebrow. Like he was confused. He was intensely staring at me and finally he asked,
" What do you mean?"
My throat was blocked. No voice was coming out. I cleared my throat a bit and said," I mean let's start by introductions. I am Lyric moon. You can call me Lyric."
" I am Theodore Kensington and I am not 8. I am 17 years old.Just call me Kensington" He said with a little smirk.
My face flamed when he said that. He didn't have to mention that. That damn brat.
I averted my gaze and picked up the book that was kept in front of him.
" L..let's study." I said. My face was burning with shame.
" Tell me one thing." He asked.
I looked at him and said, "What?"
" Where are vocal cords situated?"
" In the larynx."
" Teach me about anatomy of thorax."
" Okay."
We covered small portions today. I cleared my throat for the hundredth time. It was itchy.
"Why are you doing that?" He asked.
" I don't know. My throat is itchy." I said.
I flinched when he suddenly put his hand on my throat. My heart beat rised on his touch. Goosebumps erupted on his touch. His hands were big and warm.
" What are you...." Before I could complete my sentence. He shushed me.
He pressed his thumb on my neck with pressure and my eyes watered. I immediately started coughing.
He removed his hand then. I wiped the water from my eyes. Meanwhile, he brought me a glass of water. I drank that and I stopped coughing.
" What was that?" I asked in my hoarse voice. It was rough.
" Your voice is blocked. You sound like a joker." He said in his playful voice.
What was that? I was dumbfounded.
" And Who's fault is that?" I asked him in a serious tone.
" If I had to block your voice. I just need to choke you a bit." He said while calculating something.
" Why would you do that?" I asked him .
I was astonished at his sudden confession. He was annoying.
" Why wouldn't I? You are too noisy. You are a kid." He said.
It fueled my anger.
" I am not a kid. I am 17 too for god's sake." I said a bit loudly.
" You are a kid."he said in a mocking tone.
" If I am a kid then you look like you have three kids."
He laughed loudly. Why did I find his laugh melody to my ears. He was looking beautiful while laughing.
I snapped out my haze. What was I thinking? He was here mocking me and I was appreciating his beauty. I prep talked to myself.
" Really...I will adopt you instead of having three kids."
" What.....Am I that fat? That you are comparing me to your three kids." I said while pouting.
I was seriously pissed as hell. What did he think of himself.
" You don't have to ." I said in my dry voice and averting my gaze.
" Why can't I?....kid..." He said.
I snapped my head to him and raised my eyebrows at him.
" DON'T CALL ME A KID. I already have a father. So you don't have to go through that pain." I said.
" I will still adopt you." He said while calmly.
He was calm and cool like it was normal to tell people that I want to adopt you. Was he stupid?
And I didn't know why I felt like I was loosing a fight I didn't intend to win.
" I am going. Bye." I said in a low voice and got up to move.
He chuckled and said," Wait....."
He came and stood in front of me.
