" Or maybe it's because a certain grim reaper has entered the room. "
" I can't believe this woman. "
" Why would you even wait for me all this time? Don't you have anything better to do? "
" I can help you with your little problem. "
Avner was taken aback by her sudden reply.
" Wha… what do you mean? "
He had hoped it was what he was thinking, but he was a little skeptical about whether she could really help him.
And for the first time, the tutor's eyes finally left that book and made eye contact with Avner. Avner thought this would satisfy him, that he would finally feel acknowledged by her, but to his surprise he felt a little shy, which led him to avoid eye contact.
" You know exactly what I am talking about. "
" ….. "
Could this really be…?
" See you tomorrow, and you better be on time, or you can say goodbye to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "
And she stood up, ready to leave.
" Wha… wait! "
" Do not forget. "
The tutor stopped in her tracks and turned to face Avner once again, as if to say her last words to him for today.
" I really do not appreciate tardiness. You better keep that in mind if you want my guidance. "
Avner had so many questions, but his new teacher made it clear that she no longer wished to talk.
He was now left all alone in the study room.
" Damn it, I should have come on time. "
" AAAAHHH! "
He pulled his hair out in irritation at his own ignorance.
" Could she really be the one…? "
" Woah. I can't believe this. "
Avner arrived first thing in the morning for his first lesson with his new teacher, only to find that she was not there.
" Who was complaining just yesterday about not liking tardiness? Are you kidding me? 'I don't like tardiness,' my ass. "
Avner was pacing around the small room in annoyance, complaining about his current circumstances and changing his tone to an exaggerated pitch, mockingly imitating her.
" AAAHHHH, I can't believe I fell for this. She was definitely trying to take revenge on me for making her wait. "
" You know what? I'm leaving. The lesson should have started three hours ago. She's definitely not coming. I'm sure she lied about being able to help me as well. "
After convincing himself, Avner was about to step outside his small study room into the big classroom, ready to leave, but stopped himself right after opening the curtains.
" But what if she wasn't lying? "
" Damn it, this is driving me crazy—that damn psychopath! "
Avner took a deep breath to calm himself down, then sat at the small table.
" It's alright. I should wait a little longer. "
And so another hour passed.
crunch, crunch *
His waiting was interrupted by crunching noises.
" What? Someone else is in here? By the sound of it, it looks like the person is eating. "
Avner decided to open the curtains once again and have a more thorough look at the spacious classroom.
" Ah, I can't believe this. "
