Chapter 42 ...
Ethan's pov.

It's been hours since my wonderful, and explicit intimacy together with Selene in her room, on her bed.

I was her first, it felt really special, and she was so soft against my body, I just wanted to hold her close forever and never let go

After that I realised that I had crossed the threshold, I've got to have her back now, no matter what.

As she was leaving for school, a lump formed in my throat. I don't want to be separated from her.

I wanted to kiss those lips of hers, tell her not to stay long in school, but our parents were standing by.

I let her go without a single touch.

"Make sure you study today, then we will see who wins the bet." She winked at me.

I can't wait for her to return.

"You seem to be excited about studying." Dad pointed out as I sat with a text book in hand.

"I guess Selene is having an effect on you

I didn't realise my excitement was that evident, it wasn't the studying that got me hyped.

It was the reward that would come with it.

"Yeah, she's calm." I tried to sound as reasonable as I could about her

"Which means you have to treat her more as a sister now, do not be harshly short tempered towards her."

I can't even bring myself to do so anymore, worst part is, how I bullied her over the years

I don't think I can forgive myself for that.

"Dad," I closed the textbook.

"I've got something important to share with you."

He looked at me strangely, then said.

"Okay."

I rubbed my hands together, it was difficult broaching the topic to him

"I need your help, dad. I need to get back to school."

Dad put a hand in his pocket and rubbed the other along his jaw line.

"You got suspended, Ethan. There's no reason for you not to carry out your punishment."

I quickly stood up, so he could see how serious I was

"I know that, and I'm trying my best with lessons from Selene, it's about the team." My voice fell, I really hope he hears me out.

"I need to get back on the team, the coach plans to replace me soon, I have to do something about it."

Dad continued rubbing his jaw.

"So, you want me to speak to principal Bradshaw on your behalf?"

Aghhh, he gets it, finally.

"Yes dad, I'll pretty much appreciate it."

I was elevated now, I need to have a special comeback.

"No." His tone was flat and dead.

My shoulders dropped the same way my happiness did, I really thought he was going to help me out

"Three weeks suspension, that's what you get, and you won't go to school until it's over. Work on your studies more before then"

He grabbed his suitcase and headed to work

"Fuck."

I almost threw the text book away, then I stopped

It wouldn't help if I throw tantrums, once he sees that I'm all better, probably some good words from Selene about my improvement, he'd change his mind.

I flopped back on the chair, I better get back to studying.

I didn't know how long I had studied for, but the words in the book suddenly became a blur and I let the book cover my face.

Next thing I knew, my body was being jabbed at

"Hey, sleepy head."

Hmmm, that sounded like Selene.

I grumbled and pushed the book from my face, she was back and in her home outfit of baggy top and biker shorts.

"You're back." I blinked so many eyes could get adjusted to the light.

"For like over an hour ago, I didn't want to disturb you."

I sniffed and wrinkled my nose,

"Come here, I missed you." I pulled her to my body for a hug and kissed her supple lips.

"Ethan, someone will see." She mumbled, but didn't pull away.

I let go of her hand and she sat beside me.

"Biology, I see." She stared at the text book.

Already in her tutor mode so soon, I can't even have one hour of relaxation with my girlfriend

Wow, I just called her my girlfriend in my head, it was so fascinating.

She pushed my head with her finger.

"What's going on in that head of yours?"

A flirtatious smile curved my lips.

"Would you like to find out?"

She smacked my head playfully with the book.

"Focus Ethan Campbell."

"Ouch, that hurts."

"We need to be serious so that your grades can come up." She said laughing.

"I am serious, I've been studying all day."

Also day dreaming about you. That was my inside voice.

"Okay, how about we do it your way." She leaned in close, her boobs pressed against my shoulder.

"Your room."

My eyes lit up at the idea.

"What are we waiting for then?"

I grabbed her hand, and we ran up to my room.

I sat down on the chair beside my bed.

"I'm ready, hit me with questions."

She laughed as she flipped through the pages.

"Okay, I'll start with an easy one. What's the difference between mitosis and meiosis?"

"Pssh, too easy, another one please."

"Just answer and stop being cocky"

I shifted on the chair confidently.

"Mitosis is the cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, used for growth and asexual reproduction. Whole meiosis is the cell division that results in four daughters with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, used for sexual reproduction."

The shock in her eyes was thrilling as I gave my answer

"I'm, I'm, I don't know the word to use." She stuttered.

"The right word to use is impressed, biology is kind of my thing you know."

She definitely didn't see that coming.

I rose to my feet, and snatched the book from her hand, then tossed it aside.

"Now, our deal"

She smiled at me "It's only one question, we still have quite a lot to cover."

"We will get back to it, I assure you." I brushed my lips against hers to hush her up.
