Chapter 11: Study, Study, Study

Ella's POV

"Next week will be your prelim exams, so you need to study and pass it,"

"Yes, sir,"

"Ok, I will take my leave. By the way. Aden, I need to talk to you for a minute,"

Aden went outside the classroom. What are they going to talk about? It's not bad to eavesdrop, right?

I went to the door of the classroom to hear what they are talking about.

"Aden, you need to pass this semester because last semester your grades are not that good. I know because I've looked at all your performance from last semester,"

"Ok, sir,"

"Ok. I will take my leave. Please study for the prelim exams,"

I quickly sat on my seat. Why Aden's grades are not good? He is smart, but why he is not doing well in his studies? I think he has a serious problem that he doesn't want to talk about. I need to take action about it, and I have an idea already.

"What are you seriously thinking about?"

"Uh, Kim. I was thinking about Aden's grades because I heard that his grades are not good last semester, and he needs good grades this semester,"

"Oh, so do you have an idea?"

"I sure have an idea,"

"Good. Good luck with that,"

I am planning to study with Aden at the library starting today until Friday. My grades are all good, so I think I can teach Aden.

Classes are over, and I am packing all my stuff inside my bag.

"Ella. I will go home first. Good luck in teaching Aden,"

"Ok. See you tomorrow,"

I saw Aden going out of the classroom, so I ran towards him and grabbed his hand.

"Don't go home yet,"

"Why?"

"Let's go to the library,"

"Why?"

"To study for the prelim exams next week,"

"But I don't want to,"

"No buts. Let's go!"

I heard Aden sighed. He did not complain, so he agreed.

When we arrive at the library, I search for the best area to study.

"Let's sit here and start studying. I am going to teach you,"

"Why are we doing this anyway?"

"Because I heard that your grades are not good last semester, so you need to have good grades this semester,"

"You heard?"

"Yup"

Aden sighed.

"You know that my grades in all subjects are good, so I can teach you everything that I know,"

"Ok, ok. I have no choice anyway. You keep on bugging me about studying"

"Ok. Let's start with Math,"

Aden and I started studying. I'm glad that Aden agreed to study.

Aden's POV

Ella and I are at the library studying.

Ella is trying hard to teach me. I looked at her.

"Is something the matter, Aden?"

"Oh, nothing,"

"Ok"

Ella's phone beeped, and she looked who it is, and I saw that it's an unregistered number. Ella asked who it is, and it replied, Ethan Jones. I got a little jealous. Why am I even feeling like this?

Ethan texted that the basketball match is on Saturday morning. Ella smiled and replied that she will go and said goodbye to each other.

"Ok. Let's continue,"

"Is Ethan courting you?"

"No. Ethan confessed, but I said that I love someone already. We are friends though,"

"Oh, ok,"

I smiled and felt relieved. Why am I being like this? Stop it, Aden.

After 30 minutes.

"Ok. It's already 5 pm. We should head back home,"

"Ok"

"Let's continue tomorrow,"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yup, until Friday"

"Ok"

Ella and I get our bags and exited the school.

I will pass the prelim exams because Ella tried hard to teach me everything that she knows.

"I'm sorry about last week. Do you forgive me?"

"I forgive you. I'm also sorry that I yelled at you,"

"It's ok. It's the first time that I saw you got mad,"

"I just don't like what you did,"

"I know. So are we even now?"

"Uhum"

Ella and I talked while walking together.
