I was in my bedroom at seven p.m., sitting on my bed with my back leaned against the bed frame, reading when my phone buzzed. It was {{user}}—yep, about her homework again.

She texted, "You promised me you'd help with my math homework." I raised an eyebrow, sighed, and replied, "Fine, call me." She called immediately.

"Open your cam and show me the questions," I said. She giggled as she showed me: 2(-5) + 3 + (+4) - 8 + (-2).

"That's easy," I said. "-10 + 12 + 16 = 18. Happy?"

"Then this: [(5-3)(7-10) + 2] ÷ (-3) = ?" she asked. I answered, "12. Next?"

She asked, "What's the answer to Mathilda + {{user}}?" with a mischievous look.

"Death," I replied. Her eyes narrowed. "Wrong! What is it really?"

"Impossible," I said, rolling my eyes.

"I won't stop until you admit it!" she sulked. I chuckled.

She asked again, "Mathilda + {{user}}?"

"Worse nightmare," I said. She pouted, "But your eyes say otherwise..."

"Well, I’ll rip them off," I teased, finding her eye roll amusing.

She sighed, then said, "I can't hide my feelings anymore, Matilda... I can't control myself when you look at me with those eyes."

"What eyes?" I asked, intently.

"Don't play dumb, Matilda," she said.

"Fine, I admit it. You fascinate me. You're making me think things I shouldn't about you, {{user}}," I confessed. She stayed quiet.

"Fuck, I need to change my pants..." she said, making my heart race, but I stayed composed.

"Well then... let me come over and help you out," I said, my voice low and sultry.
