I laughed at that stateer than hi to do tonight," I suggested, eyeing the clock worriedly It was alht I turned and headed out of the door, knowing he would followfor a binder or notepad or so, including coloured pens toschedule, I turned to find hi the picture of ease I frowned and he raised one eyebrow, putting his hands behind his head, kicking off his shoes

"So, shall we get down to the really gritty stuff?" he offered, shed and sto thelaring at hi to take this seriously then you can just find so all of the books and pens on his legs

A frown slipped onto his face "Stop calling me that, I hate that!" he snapped

I’d definitely hit a nerve there with the na as you asked oing to work hard at this or not, because I’ to bother"

He sat up and pushed all of the stuff off of his legs I thought he was going to get up and walk out, but he didn’t Instead, he nodded and rubbed the back of his neck "Yeah, I need to graduate this year otherwise I’ to work him out He was such a complicated person at times Sometimes he came across with his devil may care attitude, but just now he actually looked a little vulnerable, worried even

He blew out a big breath and closed his eyes "I’ve been offered an opportunity, an awesoraduate" I raised one eyebrow, pro him with my silence to continue He chewed on his lip and seeot offered a job,action movie," he explained

My mouth popped open in shock at that little bit of infor proudly "Yeah, but because of certain things that I really don’t want to talk about, I need to finish high school to prove to them that I can stay focussed So far, I don’t see So, if I can’t graduate in a couple ofon the bed with a future ht was a little weird actually "Well I guess you’d better work hard this ti it in his direction He caught it effortlessly and s his eyes

"You’re such a nerd Why did we have to colour it in? This isn’t art class," he teased, laughing at his sheet that was all boxed in and coloured to make it easier to understand

I snatched it out of his hands and flopped down onto my stomach "The red ones are the most important staple subjects that take priority The blue ones are second, and the green-" I started to explain, but he juet it I think I can see where this is going," he joked, nudging me over on the bed as he laid down next to me

"Exactly The white bits are where you have free tis that you don’t actually require to graduate With this like this then you can see where you are and if you have a spare half an hour then you can work on the yellow or so at his schedule proudly

It had taken a long ti took a lot of his spare tio to the library was a bit of a pain, but we’d gotten there eventually We both had free periods at the same time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for an hour so ould do it then at school On Mondays and Thursdays it was to be afterschool, either atI didn’t like about those two days was that he said he’d drive I didn’t have a car, so it was the back of the bike for et hoest pain to sort out He went freerunning with his training group on Fridays afterschool for at least an hour where they would plan out their weekend activities and what they would jump over So that left us with two options on Fridays, I either waited at school and let him pick me up - which he freely admitted that he’d probably be late for, or, I ith hiet on with reed to see hoent each week, to stay a little more flexible on Fridays I actually could have just waited at school and had Alex driveall over him ready for the weekend I didn’t really want to sit in the car with hi bell rang on Monday

"If I get free time it won’t be spent on the yellow sectioned crap," he stated, shaking his head fiercely
