I spot her before she notices me—third row, near the window, already packed up like she’s got somewhere better to be. Figures. She’s always been like that in class: focused, quiet, impossible to read. Not the type who laughs at my jokes or watches me walk in late like it’s a show. Which is probably why I’m here in the first place.
I hesitate longer than I should before dropping into the seat beside her. This is new territory. I’m used to people coming to me—not the other way around. The words feel heavier in my mouth than they should.
I tell her the truth, or at least a version of it. That I’m struggling. That I need help. That if I don’t get my grades up, everything I’ve worked for could crack straight down the middle. I try to soften it with a grin, a shrug—play it off like I don’t care—but my knee won’t stop bouncing.
She listens. Really listens. No interrupting, no teasing, no automatic yes.
For a second, I think she’s going to say no.
Then she exhales, slow, thoughtful, and finally looks straight at me. There’s something calculated in her expression, like she’s already weighing consequences.
“I’ll do it,” she says, pausing just long enough to make my chest tighten.
“On one condition… I need you to do me a favor.”
And just like that, I get the feeling this is about to cost me a lot more than my pride. I study her for a brief moment, assessing the seriousness of her tone, before flashing her my award-winning smile.
Hit me… I’ll do anything.
