"Hi, Harry right?" I greeted the guy in front of me who stood few inches taller than me with his slim physique.

He moved the annoying strands of curly brown hair aside towards his left ear and smiled brightly showing slight dimples that formed on his both cheeks making me smile back at him automatically, " yes, that's me. Nice to meet you uh..."

"Faith!" I quickly introduced myself leaning forward in a polite gesture," call me faith."

"Well, nice to meet you faith." He flashed his grin once again, and looked down at the books he was holding in his hand.

"Oh, I guess, we'll just go to the library and study there, if that's okay with you." I stated nervously to which he nodded in encouragement, smile still intact. So we made our way towards the library with him walking slightly behind me towards my right.

I contacted Elijah this morning,we both managed to find an hour when me and Harry had free period so i decided it would be best to study at that time.

Although we could do that after school hours but I didn't want to stay late hours inside the school which might bring something I'm not ready to handle yet.

Willing my nerves to calm down at the memory of yesturday, i looked at the librarian who was immersed behind his newspaper as usual.

I greeted him a bit too cheerfully, maybe to ease my inner anxiety and show myself that i was okay and safe, and not in the empty hallways.

Mr.Librarian's lazy eyes peeked upward, lowering his newspaper down and for the first time, he forgot to push him glasses upward cause his gaze was stuck on Harry beside me.

Me with a company?

Well well, a surprise indeed!

A grin threatened to spread on my face but I controlled it inside, after all it won't leave a good impression on harry, on my first day of tutoring.

"Good afternoon, sir!" Came a bright voice of Harry beside me.

After a thick silence, Mr.Librarian seemed to come back to his senses and decided he had already wasted enough time analyzing the boy so without sparing another glance, he hid behind the newspaper again.

Well I guess that was it, then!

Smiling at Harry a bit awkwardly, i headed over to my usual spot with him following closely behind.

Settling down I gestured towards his book to be opened. He sat towards my right and I glanced around to see a group of guys standing in the other corner. One of them using his cellphone while others busy discussing a topic that was opened up in front of them.

Taking chemistry book from Harry, I analyzed the chapters and content while he just sat there patiently.

After about ten minutes or so I finally exhaled, and put the book down, focusing on his face who had been looking around, occasionally glancing at the book in my hand while chewing on his thin lips as I flipped the pages around.

Finding my attention on him, he straightened his hunched back, pulling back his arm that was lazily placed on the table and looked at me expectantly.

"So what do you say, we should take a start from interesting, more easier topics and then move on to harder ones as we proceed and set the flow, shall we?

"Whatever you deem fit." He gestured my way encouragingly, raising his eye brows in a carefree manner adding a shrug.

Satisfied I leaned over and grabbed the pen before getting started with the topic.
