Tetsuya answers the call


    right away, his replies


    seemed cold.


    Something I never


    seen until this very


    moment.


    "Hey….."


    He doesn''t look happy.


    Once the person on


    the phone gets done


    talking,


    Tetsuya wore a vexing


    expression,


    "Fine. I will be home

    in a bit."


    He ends the call.


    It didn''t even last long.


    Tetsuya''s unhappy expression


    changes to a happy one


    quickly.


    "Are you okay? Who was that?"


    I ask him in deep concern.


    "My younger brother


    needs help with one


    of his math problems.


    It''s his first time needing


    my help too."


    Tetsuya explains.


    "No way. I really wanted to


    spend a lot of time with you


    today." I whined, done with


    my lemon popsicle.


    "I feel the same way."


    Tetsuya sighs and stands


    up from the ground.


    I stand as well, being


    sad.


    I don''t see why Tetsuya


    has to go home over


    some math problem


    that his younger


    brother can''t


    solve.
