We head inside the library. It's big and spacious, like a cathedral. There are rows and rows of shelves, but on the far right of the library, there are tables and chairs with people reading books, typing on their phones or laptops, or doing homework. Sayako and I head to the empty table in the corner. We sit on opposite sides of the desk. I wish she would sit next to me, I thought. Then, an idea struck me.
"Hey Saaya," I start to say, "How will you be able to tutor me if you're not sitting next to me?" Sayako's cheeks start turning into a deep red.

"Well I-I didn't even think about it that much. I mean I've never tutored someone before and I don't really know how it's supposed to go so- Wait, I'm rambling, aren't I? I'm sorry. I'll stop talking now." I start to laugh.
"Stop laughing!" Saaya says, her cheeks getting redder by the second, "It's not funny!" " Sure it is!" I retort. " Well, aren't you gonna sit next to me?" I ask, my laughter is gone and I stare at her with the most serious facial expression I can give.
"If that means I can tutor you better, then sure," Saaya replies. My heart is sunken at her response, but it's lifted when I see Saaya get up from her chair, grab her backpack and move to the chair right next to me.
