Duren's charm, my friend's Dad
Chapter 12

POV Fanya'S.

Today I purposely avoided Lila because I had promised her papa. I didn't want the man to think that I had deliberately approached his daughter to see her again. I had no idea Lila was his daughter.

Lila greeted me as I was just entering the classroom but I ignored her and walked on to the empty bench in the back row. Then sit there.

Before long Lila approached me, she also brought her school bag and equipment. Move sit next to me.

"You want to sit here, Him. I'm in. Wherever you move, I'll come along" he said with a smile.

Then how can I stay away from him. I need to change schools, but it's impossible. I could go to school because I got a scholarship, so I couldn't change schools.

"You just sit in front, Lil. From there you can see clearly that the teacher explained. I'm here because I want to sleep so I don't get caught," I said reasoned.

"It's okay, I'm here. Even if I sit on the front bench, I will not be able to digest the lesson easily. Precisely because of you, I can understand more."

We finally sat in the back. But I just kept quiet and slept all day. Not much to talk to Lila.

"Fanya, let's go to the cafeteria, I'm hungry. I didn't eat breakfast this morning because Papah upset me. Yuk." yuk."

"You're Lil. I'm sleepy" I said, refusing.

"If you don't want to come, I'll be here too. Let me be sick from hunger."

I lost again, how could I have let Lila get sick. But I still haven't said much. Throughout lunch, I just listened to what Lila said. About the plan that asked me to be his tutor, he kept talking.

Lila's words sounded earnest. Do I accept the offer. I can take the afternoon Monday through Wednesday I have no work at that hour. But I promised to stay away from Lila, what would that person say if I accepted Lila's offer.

"Lil, you sure want me to teach you, you can pay a good tutor. I'm ashamed that I didn't meet your expectations, Lil." Yeah, I better try to persuade him again.

"Even if I study with you, I understand better. If the same professional teacher I was sleepy and did not listen properly. I've persuaded Papah to let you teach me, don't waste my efforts. Yes, yes ..."

"Why do you give permission? He doesn't forbid you to make me the same sketches?"

"Yes, he gave permission this morning. Yes, even if you have to use a little coercion. Hihih ...."

I'm guessing Lila must have used her weird way to persuade her papa. How is this what I accept.

"But I only have time from Monday to Wednesday afternoon. The rest, you know. I work as a food deliveryman."

"So you want to?" asked Lila with a glowing face.

I'm nodding. Yeah, no harm in trying first. If there is a problem, I will stop immediately.

"Yes!! At last. Thanks Fanya. I love you." He hugged me suddenly in front of a lot of people.

"Ishh move! I'm still normal." I'm kidding.

I didn't expect Lila's reaction to be like that.
