Austin scoffs as he regains his usual unnerving behaviour.
My voice keeps cracking as I try to explain to Austin simple artificial intelligence concepts and how to apply them.
I notice his gaze, usually full of hate, is softening up, and I might even be spotting some admiration as I show him how beautiful learning something new can be.
"See? An hour of tutoring with me wasn't that bad," I say as I stand up and start packing my things.
I wonder if Shakill and Diane are still with Oliver.
I quickly scan the library through the glass window and when then what I see in front of me liquifies my intestines and I feel vertiginous.
Shakill is studying alone.
That means Diane and Oliver...
My stomach churns as my brain refuses to finish the thought.
As panic overtakes me I forget to say goodbye to Austin and instead I sprint to the door to make my way to ask Shakill where Diane and Oliver are.
Before I can wiggle out of the study room Austin grabs me for the second time this evening and his grip greatly overpowers me once again with such a strength my legs feel soft because of fear.
I turn my gaze up to look at him and for a moment I see uncertainty in his eyes and it looks like he doesn't know what to say so I feel the gap because I am impatient to leave.
"Well?" I scoff.
His grip on my arm tightens so hardly I let out a lament.
He soften it up right away and caresses my arm with his thumb carefully and delicately this time.
No boy has ever touched me so intimately before so for a moment I am taken aback from this sensual gesture and feel my down there getting wet so I jerk my arm off of his grip.
"Goodnight Austin," I say and I make my second attempt to leave, stupidly thinking, he'd let me go this time.
