All Chapters of Educate You: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Earth to Aeliana!"    "W-what!?" I almost stumbled off my chair.    "Woah, girl! Calm yo shit!" Leah said, holding me by my arm. 

"No, but seriously, when and where did you find the guts to throw a temper tantrum in your physics professor's office?"   "This is probably the millionth time I'm being asked that! That is not my point!" I crossed my arms before my chest. "The problem's solved, so he should just shut up about it,"   

  Why'd he have to smile like that? Did I make a stupid mistake!? I mean, of course I got the powers mixed up, but that's not a big deal!    I didn't want to admit it, but I was constantly searching for his approval. If I felt like I let him down, I'd feel awful until he did something like this; until he did something that reassured me.   

"Um, I have to take this call, guys," Aeliana said as she stood up from the bench. "I'll be in the restroom, and nowhere else, okay?" "Okay," Leah and Caleb nodded in agreement. They weren't supposed to split, but since Aeliana promised to be in the restroom and only there, they felt somewhat satisfied and safe.
