Philophobic novel Chapter 8

"Z-Zack not rich. Family just has money." He spoke softly very low. I almost couldn't hear him clearly.

"That's being rich. Why did you lie to me? I hate being lied to."

"Zack sorry. Zack was being cautious. Some people are cruel, they only like people because of what they have."

Oh, I guess that's why I wanted to be close to him in the first place. Buy now I don't want his money anymore. I guess I do consider him a friend. My first friend. "You don't have to worry about that when you're with me. We're friends after all." I smiled.

"F-friends. We're friends." He looked at me in disbelief. "First friend." He smiled.

"Me too."

"Let's get started then." I sighed while taking out some math books. I took out my notes book and textbook. He went to go fetch a scribble book for practice. We sat out on the balcony. The view of the is city very beautiful. I wish I could live here. Firstly, I need to see what I'm dealing with here so I wrote a couple of solve for X equations to test him. "Here, " I handed him the paper with 20 equations to solve, "I need to see where you're at. You have 5 minutes to solve these." After looking at the paper for like 2 seconds he looked at me like he is frustrated or something. "Don't look at me like that. You have to at least try." He shrugged then started writing. Weird he didn't even stop to think. He just wrote nonstop. I hope he's not just writing to finish but writing to solve. In 15 seconds he handed me the paper. "Alright, let's see how you did." The fuck?! H-he got every equation right. Even the complicated ones. I glared at him. He just stared at me blankly. I have to try other ways to test him. I gave him a rider with 27 angles to find. He was done in 30 seconds this time and he got all of them correct again. What the hell!!!! Areas and perimeters of multiple shapes.....he got them all right again. Even the right-angle triangle which beats everyone in my class. "Okay, how about financial math. Let's try that." He shrugged then solved every freaking problem correctly! "Why the hell did you say you need a tutor when you have no problem at all with math?" I glared at him.

"Uh-" he avoided my eyes.

"Wait, did you say you need a tutor just to be with me?" I raised my left, perfect, eyebrow.

"Uh- Zack do need help with math, uh....the number pattern stuff."

"Really? You need help with the easiest topic in math?" He nodded. "You're lying. I can see that." He sighed then hid his face with facing down. "You should've just said you wanted to hang out with me in the first place."

"Sorry." He whispered.

"It's fine. But I will test you with the number patterns then." I gave him 2 number patterns and 5 questions.......he got them all wrong. What?! "Wait, you weren't lying?" He shook his head. "Well I guess I'll help you with this then. We have 3 weeks until the examination test to see if I've taught you well. I'm not so worried about you though. You seem pretty smart." He smiled. "Now let's get you started on the formulae. You have to know this by heart, okay?" He nodded. "Good."

After 2 hours of studying I felt a bit of hunger. He smiled. "Zack make Zee something to eat. How about a sandwich?"

I smiled and nodded. He went to the kitchen and started doing his stuff. I was too focused on the nonstop messages from Josh and the others. I haven't heard from Daniel in a long time. Now he wants to see me today. Nah boy! He called me right after I viewed his message. "What?" I answered the call.

"Why don't you want to come? You know I pay and fuck good."

"I'm busy right now. I don't have time to fuck."

"I haven't had you for a long time, come over right now."

"I said I'm busy, and if you still want to fuck with me I suggest you do something about that tone." I hung up. Stupid guy! He immediately called right after. "What?"

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated because I haven't had your ass in a long time."

"That doesn't mean you should talk to me like that. Do that again and you're out."

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Just please come over when you're free."
