It started with a tutoring session
"No!" "What no?" "No," "Felicity, please" "No." So this had been going on as long as ten minutes. He had tried it with charm, with bribes, with promises. None of that worked. "Why?" "Why what?" "Why don't you go to your parents and let them donate money to the school. I have no time to do your homework, just so you can keep playing soccer with your friends," She glared at him. "So I want a compelling reason!" Was to play football not reason enough. Dammit. Maybe he could..., but that was cruel: the kicked puppy act, to address the kind and helping side of her.
"Sorry to have wasted your time" He mumbled and turned with his head down. No reaction. Dammit, dammit, dammit! That left him just one option: desperately begging, "Felicity, please", pleaded Oliver. "You are my last hope." He kneeled before her, trying to channel his inner-Thea when she wanted something really, really bad. "Okay, I'll do it", Felicity sighed, fixed him however with a stern look. "But I have conditions. 1. You will not copy my homework 2. You'll always arrive on time here after soccer practice, no exceptions, and 3. I expect every morning a cup of coffee that clear?" Oliver pulled her up from her chair and swing her in circles. "Thank you! Thank you so much!" Felicity shrieked. "Oliver, put me down immediately.!" Grinning, he did as told. "You will not regret that" "Somehow I doubt that," She muttered. She pointed to the chair. "Sit down! We start now!"
Oliver sat down at the table and looked at her expectantly. "So the best way to start is your homework" Oliver scratched his neck sheepishly. "Um ..." Felicity huffed. "Of course, what was I thinking" She moved her books around until she found a small black notebook. "You're lucky that We have a couple subjects together." She flipped through her notebook and laid it open in front of him. "so let's start with Math" she pulled the right book from her pile and showed him the tasks which they had to do. "currently we deal with trigonometric functions" Felicity began to explain him the mathematical calculations, but Oliver stared helplessly at the book. he understood absolutely nothing. and at that moment an inescapable truth became so unbelievably clear. He had to change namely now before it was too late. He did not want to end up as a failure. He did not want to be dependent on his parents' money all his life .He wanted something to show, something that he had managed alone. He wanted to be more than just his family name. He wanted others and he to be proud of him. "Felicity," he interrupted. "I understand nothing," She looked up, expecting a smirk impish, but instead she found only confusion. "It's too fast and everything is so complicated. I can't imagine what it is about." He tore his hair in frustration. Felicity pondered. "Okay, let's take a step back," She was looking for the right page in the book. "Okay let's start with the sine" And so she began to explain everything step by step
They went through maths, as well chemistry and now both worked separately on different things. She on her laptop. He on his history essay, which occurred to him was due till tomorrow. Felicity had given him a rough summary of the issue, so that he had a rough idea of what needed to be done and handed him her history book. They were working in silence, which was disturbed only by Felicity's typing and Oliver's page flipping or his questions. An hour later he set the pen down. "Done" She looked up from her laptop. "Let me see," He handed her the sheets. She read through the essay and corrected the occasional mistake with a pencil. When she was done, she put the sheets in front of him. "And?" Asked Oliver tense. "For the short time in which you have been writing it, it's really good" "Really?" "Really!" She smiled and to her surprise he smiled back, no smug grin, no impish smirk, but a wide and genuine smile. It made him all the more attractive. He should smile more often like that, she thought. "Thank you," Oliver yanked the budding it-specialist from her thoughts. She blushed "Did I say that out loud? Of course I say that out loud. You should not release me upon mankind. My brain to mouth filter must be defect. and this probably interests you not a bit. I'm still talking. Please just ignore me "Frustrated she let her head fall on the table. "At such moments, I wished the ground would open up below me" She expected the hurried scratching of chair legs on the floor, and the hasty removal of two feet, but nothing happened. After a minute she slowly looked up and what she saw took literally her breath away. Oliver was still smiling, but it was a different kind of smile. It was the kind that was intended only for a specific individual. He was beaming and his eyes shone with admiration. "You're remarkable," she answered his smile. "Thank you for remarking it," She began to pack up her belongings. "So let's call it a day" He looked alarmed at the clock. It was already past dinnertime. He hastily stuffed his things into his bag. "Damn it, I'm late," he grumbled. "Wait, before you go, give me your phone," he looked at her quizzically. "I'll give you my number, if you have any questions" "That makes sense" He gave her his phone after she had programmed her number, she gave it back to him. "So I'll see you tomorrow" "Yes till tomorrow" His phone rang. "Oh shit, I have to go" He ran toward the door with the phone on his ear. "Yes Thea I'm on my way." Felicity stared after him.
Hours later she was already in bed, her cell phone rang. Scowling, she took it to read the message from the nightstand. "Thanks for your help, Oliver" The brought a smile on her face.
