Lena's POV

Martin had his head down over his comprehension worksheet when my phone rang. After a while he had gotten over his crying and shaking, then we took a break from math and worked together on his English.

“That’s odd, it's an unknown number,” I muttered, sliding the receiver icon over to red.

I silenced the phone and went back to watching him work. He was doing much better now, moving through the reading questions in a flow state with less of that frustrated stillness he got when the wor

  • Tutor To My High School Bully   Chapter Fifty Five

    Chapter Fifty-Five"Alright, everyone, settle down." Mrs. Sinatra stood at the front of the classroom, tapping her copy of The Catcher in the Rye against her desk. "I hope you all remembered your analytical reports were due today. So let's see those papers."The familiar sound of rustling filled the room as students dug through backpacks and folders, a few of them groaning and whining as they did it.I pulled out my own report, the pages slightly crumpled from being shoved hastily into my bag this morning before getting in the car with Noah.It wasn't my best work, not even close.I'd written it at two in the morning, exhausted and distracted, my mind replaying the kitchen scene with Jace over and over until the words on the page blurred together.Tap tap tap.I straightened in my seat, trying to ignore the rhythmic tapping coming from directly behind me.Tap tap tap.My jaw clenched, and I knew exactly who it was without even having to look.Mrs. Sinatra walked up and down the aisles

  • Tutor To My High School Bully   Chapter Fifty Four

    Homeroom was in Mr. Peterson's classroom, it was a bright, airy space with motivational posters covering the walls and rows of desks that had seen better days.I slipped into my usual seat near the middle, trying to make myself as small and invisible as possible.Noah had been swarmed the moment we entered the building.Students asking questions, introducing themselves and offering to show him around.He'd handled it all with that easy charm, but he'd caught my eye once and mouthed "sorry" before being pulled away by a group of curious juniors.Now he stood near the door, scanning the room. When he spotted me, he waved, his face lit up and he started making his way over."Is this seat taken?" he asked, gesturing to the empty desk beside mine.Before I could answer, a high-pitched whiny voice cut through the chatter, gossiping behind us."Oh my God, Allie, you need to stop defending him."I turned to see Allison sitting three rows back, surrounded by her usual entourage. Tracy was ru

    The BMW purred beautifully as Noah navigated the streets toward Westbrook. I barely knew anything about cars, but I knew this was a good one.In fact, good didn't even begin to describe it.The leather seats were buttery soft, the interior immaculate. Everything about it screamed wealth, from the polished wood trim to the subtle scent of expensive cologne that lingered in the air.It was so much better than walking the long distance or taking the bus every day.I sat in the passenger seat, my bag clutched on my lap, still processing what had happened in the kitchen."You okay, Lenny?" Noah asked, glancing over at me. His voice was gentle now, all traces of the earlier angry confrontation gone."Yeah. I'm fine.""Lena." He said my name in that way and I knew right away that he could see straight through the lie. "What happened back there...""We weren't fighting," I said quickly. "Jace and I. It wasn't like that. We were just having a disagreement over nothing, really. He wasn't a dan

    "What part of 'leave her alone' do you not understand?"Noah's voice cut sharply through the tension. He'd reached the bottom of the stairs now, and his expression seemed calm but his eyes were hard as steel as they locked straight onto Jace.Jace's entire body went rigid. "This is none of your fucking business, Noah.""Isn't it?" Noah moved closer, physically putting himself between Jace and me. "Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're making her cry. So yeah, I'm making it my business.""You don't know what the fuck you're talking about...""I know enough." Noah's voice stayed level and controlled. "I know she asked you to stop and you kept pushing, anyone with eyes can see that she's clearly upset. And I know you need to back off."Jace's hands clenched into fists. "Don't do this, Noah. Don't fucking do this right now or I swear to fuck--""Do what? Protect someone who needs protecting?" Noah's calm was somehow more threatening than if he'd raised his voice. "Or are y

    “I couldn’t sleep,” I said defensively. “Also, why are you interrogating me? You don’t get to…”“Don’t I?” His voice was barely above a whisper now, but it carried an edge that made my breath catch. “You’re in my house, sleeping in the same bed as my cousin, whom I can’t fucking stand, and you expect me to just…”“We weren’t in the same bed,” I lied, hoping maybe that would persuade him to drop this. “There were separate sleeping arrangements, and everything was completely appropriate. Besides, this is my place of work, it would be incredibly unprofessional of me to do anything like that here, so you have no right to…”“Stop.” One of his hands came up to cup my face, his thumb brushing across my cheekbone. “Just… stop. I don’t want to argue with you.”The gentleness of the gesture was such a contrast, so different from the burning fury in his eyes that I didn’t know what to do or how exactly to react. This wasn’t platonic. Nothing about the way he was holding me, kissing me, looking

  • Tutor To My High School Bully   Chapter Fifty One

    Lena’s POVI woke up warm.Too warm.My eyes fluttered open slowly, adjusting to the pale pre-dawn light filtering through the curtains. For a moment, I couldn’t figure out why I felt so… secure. So wrapped up and comfortable.Then I realised.Noah’s arm was around my waist, holding me tight against his chest. His breath was soft and steady against my hair, warm puffs that made the fine hairs on the back of my neck stand up.Somehow during the night, we must’ve found each other, or maybe I’d found him, and now we were tangled together like we’d done this a thousand times before.My heart slammed against my ribs.This was…this was so inappropriate. We’d just met. He was Jace’s cousin. We were supposed to be on opposite sides of the bed, respecting boundaries and keeping things professional.Instead, I was curled into him like he was my personal heater, his legs tangled up with my own, his hand splayed across my stomach, fingers just barely brushing the sliver of skin where my t-shirt

    His forehead touched mine, and the world narrowed to the sound of just us breathing in sync.His hand came up slowly, fingertips brushing along my jaw as though I was something precious, something that might break under too much pressure."Lena." He whispered my name reverently, like a prayer."Don

    “Lena.”“Leave me alone.”“Just stop for one second—”“I don’t want to talk to you.” I kept walking, faster, swiping at my face with the back of my hand and hating myself for every tear that fell.The hallway was empty and echoey and my footsteps were too loud and so were his, right behind me, not

You’ll be working in pairs to produce a supersaturated sugar solution, which will then crystallise over the next several days into what you’ll recognise as rock candy.”The teacher continued, “The science of it is in the nucleation
