Starting Of A New Bond

“I’ll help you get good marks on your exams and will make your life easier” the movement Luka heard this he stared screaming and kicking the air in disproval. Ruth did not expect to get this kind of response. “What’s wrong? Why would you have a problem if I help you?” asked Ruth in a angry tone. “Well I don’t want to have a annoying ghost around me 24/7.” “Well I can also help you to communicate with your friends and especially Kripi” said Ruth while smirking. Hearing this Luka calmed down and accepted her help.

After which Luka went home and as usual his parents went ballistic on him, scolding him for not studying for tomorrow’s maths test. As usual he went straight up to his room ignoring his parents. “So you have a maths test tomorrow but instead of preparing for the test you were roaming around the town. Wow if you keep this attitude on then I’m a hundred percent sure that you will never get your phone back.” Ruth said while looking around his room. “I allowed you to come with me so you could help me not lecture me like my parents. Whatever I’m sleeping and you can revise from that book all night don’t forget you have to help me cheat so I can get an A.” Ruth glared at him and threw the book on his head. “Ahhh! What’s the matter with you. First you said you’ll help me and when I agreed you are attacking me!!” “Well by helping you I meant tutoring you so you could score good marks not help you to cheat.” Saying this she lifted Luka and dropped him on a chair while opening the maths book in her hand. “Well if you’ll try to retaliate then you’ll have to face a very harsh consequence.” Ruth tutored him the entire night, clearing all the topics to him. Next day he was very excited for the test as this was the first time he was fully prepared for a test. Ruth did not even went near his class as she knew this will make him think that she will help him cheat. After the test was over she watched him come out of the class with a proud expression on his face. After seeing him she just went back to his room waiting for his school to end. It was the first time in his life that he had a bright smile after giving a test. He came home and went to his room while ranting about how he solved every question on the the test to Ruth. Ruth felt very happy after helping him with his studies and this was the first time that she ever helped a person without thinking of getting a profit from them and the happiness she felt while seeing someone happy because of her made her crave more happiness for Luka. Luka stopped praising himself and thanked Ruth for helping him and showing him the right path when he wanted to cheat his way through. This sweet moment was soon interrupted by Luka’s mother calling him to ask how his test went. He went down stairs to the living room where his mother was waiting for him. She said “I know you’re going to fail this test too since instead of studying you were roaming around the town. I want to inform you that if you fail in this test to we’ll send you to a very strict boarding school and since you didn’t even try to improve at all in studies I’m sure we’ll have to send you to an boarding school so go and enjoy your little time here.” “Okay mother” saying this he went back to his room almost tearing up. “Did you tell your her how your test went?” Ruth said but had to cut half why after noticing Luka’s face. “What’s wrong? It looks like your in verge a of tears.” Luka did not respond anything after which Ruth moved closer to him and hugged him tight saying “It feels like you have been holding your emotions for too long and now they just want to escape through your tears. Your can cry in my arms and it’s okay to cry sometimes always remember this. Crying helps people relax and realize some of your anxiety. Crying doesn’t mean that you are weak instead it means that you have been strong for way to long and now you are exhausted and want to rest your emotions through crying.” Said Ruth while rubbing his back and Luka eventually burst into tears and hugged Ruth tightly while sobbing into her arms. After about 40 minutes he stopped crying and told Ruth the conversation he had with his mother that cussed him to cry. After hearing this Ruth was very angry, she told him to be calm and wait for tomorrow when he will get his test results until then act normal. At night both of them talked about random things till 2 am. Being with Luka made Ruth genuinely happy while Luka felt that Ruth was the only one who truly understood him and he could tell her anything without the fear of being judged. Eventually Luka fell asleep while talking. Next day he was very excited as that will be the day when finally he will show his parents what he is capable of doing. He eagerly waited while the teacher was distributing the results then finally his name came and the teacher praised him for the drastic improvement he had made since in last he had gotten an F while in this test had gotten an A. He was so happy upon listening someone passing him for his improvement. As soon as he came home his little brother started taunting him by asking weather he had started packing for the boarding school or not. He ignored his brother Matthew and went up stairs to his room while waving his A making on his test. The movement Ruth saw it she jumped with joy hugged Luka. When Luka saw someone being so happy for him he got teared up a little. They both waited for his parents to come from work. When they came home Luka they called Luka and asked for his results.
