I woke up in my bed confused on how I got here. I didn't see Emily and that's when I noticed I had a bottled water and a couple of advil sitting on the small table next to my bed. I leaned over and saw a note that was sloppily written. It said "When you wake up, take this." That was it. I scratched my head in full confusion and took the medicine and water.

I sat up rubbing my forehead and looking at my phone seeing Emily has sent me a text saying she was okay and she would see me later. I looked at the time and it said three in the afternoon. It was thirty minutes before my last class of the day and I decided to just go and get fresh air.

I changed out of the outfit I wore last night and put on a pair of black skinny jeans and a oversized grey sweater. I slipped on the gray vans I had and wiped off the makeup I was wearing with the makeup wipes on the table.

I put my hair in a bun and let a few loose strands fall in front of my face. I left the room grabbing my phone and keys. As I left the dorm building I walked over to the building that was close by seeing I had only a few minutes till class had started.

I entered the classroom and saw there was people already here eager to learn making me laugh quietly. I looked around and saw Alex sitting in the back with his notebooks out. I smiled and walked over to him, "Hey Alex." I said next to him making him jump up in shock.

"Oh hey Elena." He said putting a hand over his heart making me chuckle lightly.

"So did I miss anything that was important in the classes?" I asked him sitting down.

"Not really, however we do have a test in this class today." He said making my heart race.

"You're kidding?" I said with my mouth wide open.

"Nope, wanna use my notes to study?" He asked me and I quickly nodded my head. He slid his notebook over and I quickly started to scan through it, not realizing class had started.

"Oh no." I said a bit sad seeing the teacher walk in.

"Don't stress, just relax, you'll do fine." He said trying to comfort me, I just handed him back the notebook with my head down and that's when I noticed the handwriting. It was same as that note I had on my bedside table. I would ask him about it later.

"Okay class, since this is a midterm, I want you to still try hard. The person with the lowest score will be tutored by the one with the high score. Understand?" She said making the class nod their heads. "Great. Test begins once you have it. You only have a couple hours." She finished as the tests got handed to us by a couple different classmates.

I took it and sighed deeply before I felt a pat on my arm from Alex making me slightly relax. "Well here goes nothing." I said quietly making Alex chuckle at me.

We handed in our tests and even though some people were leaving I stayed behind to see what I got on it. I noticed Alex staying behind as well. "How do you think you did?" I asked him feeling nervous.

"I did really good, what about you?" He asked crossing his arms on his chest making me see the muscles in his arms pop out.

"I don't think I did good at all. Think she's done grading them?" I asked him twirling the strand of hair that hung in front of my face.

"Oh Alexander, Elena, great both of you are still here." The professor said making both of us look at her. "Come here will you guys?" She said making us both shrug and walk down to face her desk.

"What's up Mrs. G?" I said slightly nervous.

"Elena, you haven't been doing very good in this class and you need it to graduate. So luckily since you already know Alexander, he will be tutoring you." The professor said smiling at us.

"Oh, I guess that means you had the highest score." I said to Alex feeling a bit prideful of him. I was glad he did, and I didn't feel bad I had him tutor me. "Guess this means we can spend more time together." I said eagerly making him look nervous again.

"Well I'll see you guys when there is another test which is in a week or so, so study up." The professor said dismissing us, but before we left she handed Alex something making me curious.

"So when do you wanna start? And what did she hand you?" I asked him as we walked down the hall. There weren't many students around and I was happy I didn't see Jett anywhere.

"Your test, and we should start today." He said looking at the test making me feel a little dumb.

"Sorry, I know you probably don't wanna do this. I promise I'll make it worth your time though." I said a bit embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I'm gonna go back to my dorm for a couple of things. Meet me at the library in twenty minutes?" He said. I nodded and watched him walk off still looking at my test. I sighed and walked the opposite way as him to my dorm.

I entered the room and still didn't see Emily making me sigh again. I wanted to talk to her, but I guess I'd have to wait. I looked at my outfit and taped my chin with my finger. I wanted to look good for Alex and this wasn't doing my upper body any luck. I opened my smallish closet and looked past the shirts to see if anything popped out.

It was chilly outside and I saw the maroon long sleeve shirt on the hanger staring back at me. I slipped the jacket over my head and put the shirt on, tucking it in my jeans. I took my hair out of the bun and let it fall down.

I made my way to the library and once I got there I noticed there wasn't many people around. I opened the large doors and I didn't see anyone. "Alex?" I questioned a bit to loud, making my voice echo.

"Over here!" I heard him call back. I followed where his voice came from and found him sitting at the couches near the back of the library.

"Where is everyone?" I asked sitting down next to him.

"Well since I'm here alot, the librarian gave me a set of keys. She will be back soon though." He finished. I nodded my head and watched him pull out a stack of books making my head want to spin.

"What's all this?" I asked looking at the thick stack of books.

"Well while you read through the highlighted chapters of the pysics book, I'm gonna study a few other things. Just let me know if you get confused." He said handing me the book smiling at me. I smiled back and took the book sighing a bit louder than intended.
