Ryder POV

Ok so maybe she's not that bad. I watch as she laughs cutely when Rebecca told her a joke. We've been friends for about two weeks now and this girl is like no other. Hanging out with her is so fun and she's so sarcastic it sometimes gets on my nerves but not in a bad way it's just.. I don't know how to explain it.

"We should hang out." Rebecca says.

"Where?" Maya asks looking at her with a smile on her lips. She's so quirky but so adorable.. what's wrong with me?

"How about we have Karaoke night?" Rebecca answers smirking.

"Why Karaoke? Where would we do Karaoke?" Maya asks tilting her head cutely, why are these thoughts coming to my head? I barely even know her!

"Cause I like singing and we go to there almost every weekend, plus we're still to take you." Xavier says smirking at her.

"Really?" I ask rolling my eyes chuckling.

"Why are you treating it like it's a big deal?" I ask. I mean it's just Karaoke night yet they're treating it like she isn't one of us if she doesn't go.

"Well we haven't really gone out with her yet." Rebecca says and I roll my eyes.

"You're just petty cause you can't sing." Rebecca says smirking at me.

"Ok not true." I say looking at her glancing at Maya who raised a brow at me an amused smile on her lips.

"So you can sing?" Maya asks placing her chin on her hand and I look at her my eyes subconsciously looking at her lips.

"No I can't, I was talking about being petty because of it." I say as a giggle leaves her lips and I can't help but feel sorta proud of making her giggle.

"What about you? Can you sing?" I ask getting closer to her.

"I guess you'll just have to wait and find out huh?" She teases as I lick my lips, gosh those lips of hers look amazing.

"Anyway I don't know if I can go. I've been avoiding taking Spanish classes all this years but I can't avoid it anymore and if I don't start getting the class I'm not going anywhere meaning I have to study. And I have a test next week." I say leaning back. I'm so bad at other languages but since I need at least 1 credit with another language to graduate I can't exactly avoid it and I can't fail either.

"Huh.. I didn't take you for one that cares about his grades." Maya says causing me to glance at her.

"Well I am. If I want to go out I have to keep my grades up." I say sighing but felt her eyes on me.

"I'd ask why you haven't asked Becky to help but you two barely stand each other with me in the middle I can't imagine you two alone." Xavier says with a chuckle.

"I can help you.. if you want." My eyes lock with Maya's as she looks at me shrugging her shoulders.

"Really?" Both me and Rebecca say at the same time.

"Yeah, I mean both my parents are Hispanic and Spanish is my first language so why not?" She asks causing a smile to come to my lips as I hugged her out of relief.

"Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me." I say pulling away and looking down at her to see her cheeks were a bit pink making me smirk but stay quiet not wanting to blow her tutoring me because I teased her.

"It's no problem. I'll meet with you after school." She says smiling a little before we all talked for a bit more of course me and Rebecca bickering here and there before the bell rang.

"Seriously? You're having trouble with pronouncing 'Señorita' or 'Señora' dude what do you call your Spanish teacher?" I roll my eyes at her. We're sitting in my room as she's trying to teach me how to pronounce a few things and how to write them since the test is both verbal and writen.

"A witch." I answer making her chuckle and shake her head.

"Alright then let's do something. Since you call her a witch at least learn how to say it and Spanish and how to spell it." She says giggling causing me to smile at her as she reached for the pen and wrote something down on a paper.

"Bruja. Now say it." She says showing me the paper.

"Bruja... but why does the j sound like an h?" I ask confused.

"The h in Spanish is almost always silent." She says looking at me as I sigh and lay down.

"We've been here for an hour and I still don't get anything." I say and she's silent for a moment.

"Alright... I think you just need motivation. What do you want?" She asks causing me to tilt my head looking at her.

"What do you mean what do I want?" I ask confused.

"What's something you want?" She asks placing her hands on both my sides smiling at me playfully.

"To know you." Ok that came out before I thought about it. I see her raise her brow before chuckling.

"Well let's do something. I'll give you a small test by the end of every study session we have to see what we have to work on next and for every answer you get right you can ask me a question. Whatever questions you want but if I feel uncomfortable answering you have to do another question." She says making me raise a brow at her.. that's not a bad idea.

"What if I get an A on the test?" I ask looking up at her before smirking allowing my hands to rest on her sides smirking when she shiverd a little and bit her lip.. she's ticklish.

I let my fingers add the slightest pressure on her side causing her to squirm but I pull her to my chest with one hand laughing as the other tickled her side.

"No! Ryder stop!" She squealed laughing and moving to try and get away from my grip.

"I'll stop on one condition." I say still tickling her.

"What?" She asked laughing as I stop but kept her locked to my chest as her hands rested on my shoulder and the bed as she catches her breath looking at me.

"If I get an A on this test you go out on a date with me." I say not believing the words left my lips.
