This was fucking unbelievable, I was leaving the town tomorrow and here I was giving a test just because my girlfriend didn't want to miss it. I showed up late, got scolded and here I was sitting idle trying to tick the answers purely based on luck.

As the test ended, I decided to tell Beth the reason for my leaving. I can't have more people hating me in my life and especially not her. 

"I can't believe you are making me do this," I grumbled and she looped her arm in mine.

She was close to me as much as possible and this made me happy.

"I saw your report card last time." She said sheepishly and I turned sharply to look at her.

God! Why? I have horrible grades.

"When?" I asked.

"When you rudely came in and told me that you were going to beat up my brother and I slapped you." She answered and I realised how bad I was to her.

I made her cry that day and I got drunk after leaving her crying at the coffee shop. And I realised just now , that is where I left my report card.

"So I was failing almost every class." I tried to sound cool about it.

"And what did you write in today's test?" She was grinning knowing too well that I was going to fail another test.

"I don't like studying".

"Then what do you like?" I thought for a moment on her question and I realised I loved swimming and surfboarding.

"But you need to pass school anyway."

"So, you find yourself an Einstien then." I was annoyed that I was not even one point right on the list.

But you are trying.

"Or better than that, I could help you with your grades. Maybe you might even like a subject or two." She suggested with a wide smile that jolted my heart.

She didn't hate that I had bad grades, she was trying to help me improve them.

Tonight , I will tell her I am leaving tomorrow and share my feelings. Even if I die I will have no regrets.

"Don't feel so touched, I always help bad students." She mocked me and held my hands with possessiveness.

Since when did I felt giddy and high with a girl's touch. Since Bethany Summers came into my life.

"You don't hate bad  students?" I asked because I didn't know if this was on the list because of her jerk ex or some other reason.

"No, why would I?" She sounded surprised.

Because it is on your list.

"I always wanted an intelligent boyfriend but that was before I found you." She said shyly and blushed instantly.

I so wanted to kiss her right now.  I am bad with words and kiss is the only way I can share my feelings with her.

"I quit smoking," I said the partial truth.

When I will be away from her I had to smoke but right now I haven't touched a cigarette for past two days.

"No, you haven't. You can't quit like that but I am really glad that you tried." And with this, she rewarded me by pecking my lips.

But I wanted so much more. Before I could pull her closer and kiss her harder, she moved away and took out a notebook.

"How about we begin your lessons from tonight?" 

How in the world did she think about studying and teaching when she is next to me?
