Chapter 31

??Why don??t you like me??? Sean asked.

??I do like you,?? I told him. ??I think you??re a good student.??

??I??m not talking about my work in your class. How come you don??t like me???

??I have never messed around with a student and I don??t think it??s a good idea to start now.??

??I??m not your student!?? he snapped before calming down. ??Not anymore.??

The waitress returned with our drinks and I waited until she??d gone before asking Sean, ??What is it with you? I mean, haven??t you done enough already? Thanks to you, my boyfriend and I broke up, my best friend and I no longer speak, and I??m pretty miserable.??

He frowned. ??I??m sorry about all of that, but you deserved to know the truth about Jay Tanner. You were wasting your time with that asshole.??

??So I should be wasting my time with you instead???

??I??m only trying to help you.??

??Thanks,?? I said sarcastically. ??I really appreciate it.??

??Please try to understand that everything I did, I did for you.??
