To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

The weekend flew by really quickly and I couldn’t be anymore grateful, while patiently waiting for the first day of the new week.

The blaring sound of my bedside alarm jolted me out of my bed as I sprung up to get ready. I had four classes today and they were all important, which I’d rather not miss, and so I grudgingly got ready for school

Once I was done, it didn’t take long for Mason to start threatening to leave me behind should I waste his time.

Angrily, I told him to fuck off that I’d just get a taxi, but my mother was there, so I couldn’t really stew for long before agreeing to ride with him.

The ride to me school was anything but quiet. Mason didn’t play any loud music in the car this morning, but we both broke into more than three different arguments before we finally arrived at my school.

I attended a smaller Uni, compared to the one Mason was attending, which was way further than mine. I’ve countlessly wondered why he don’t just chose to live on campus, or around the school, but there was no way I’d actually ask him that.

Minutes after I arrived in school, I ran into Xander, looking really good in the cool fit he had on. We fixed a time to meet up after class.

During the first lecture, I drummed my fingers over the table, willing the time to move faster than it usually does, I also kept glancing at my phone every few seconds, because of the time.

I hated this particular class because it was boring and the professor always did nothing to lighten up the mood. When the lecture got over, I was among the first set of students to exit the classroom.

It was after my last class for the day that I came across Xander again.

“Hey Ava.” I heard a familiar voice called and I turned around to see Xander making his way towards me with a small smile, with his hands deep in his pockets. We had both both agreed to hold our first discussion over tea in one of the cafes here in school.

“How’s it gonna be?” He asked after some time and I almost choked on my tea as I came back to reality. I’d almost forgotten about the fact that we were here for a meeting.

I cleared my throat before starting to speak.

“Okay, So we have classes almost every week except Wednesdays. Monday is always free a little bit, so that’s the day i think it would be convenient for the both of us. Anyways so, what what do you think?” I asked, explaining my schedule and it didn’t take long for Xander to agree with my suggestion.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You can come over this evening since it’ll be better to start the tutorial as soon as possible.” I proposed, scribbling my address on a piece of paper and handing it over to him.

“So, what’s it gonna be? We should meet on weekends too, you know, to fasten the pace of my learning.” He started and I itched my chin a little before agreeing with him.

“How about Saturdays?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Perfect!”

“Great then, twice on weekdays and once on weekends. Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.” I called out for clarification and Xander nodded positively.

“Here are the lists of courses I’m taking this semester, could you please go through them and let me know which we’ll be attending together,” he started as he handed me the lists of courses and I went through it carefully.

“I’m willing to pay for it if you’d kindly tutor me in them since you’re not obligated to do that, I really am lagging behind and will appreciate your help tremendously.” He added.

I lifted my gaze to meet him in shock, thinking he had been joking about the payment thing at first, but after carefully studying him, I could see that he was pretty serious.

“Oh, you don’t need to pay me,” I coughed out, feeling awkward.

“I’ll be more than willing to tutor you, but you’d have to take me seriously and actually put in efforts. I need to see improvements as fast as possible because that’s what’s going to make me want to keep on tutoring you.” I explained and he nodded his head firmly, looking quite determined.

“You’ll cover all those courses for me for free?” He asked, pointing at the list with me and I could hear the awe in his voice as his eyes glinted a little.

“Yes,” I replied affirmatively, “You don’t have to pay me, however you can make me proud and not let me regret ever helping you by getting good grades in these courses,” I added, “That’s the only payment I’ll accept.” I finished with a smile which he returned.

“I promise to do just that.” He affirmed and we spoke for a little more while before finally deciding to part ways. Xander is a great and respectful guy from what I could tell so far and I could already tell that I would love tutoring him.

He paid for our tea and we left. I didn’t have anything else to do at school anymore for now, so I seized the opportunity to go to the library.

I needed a little peace and quiet.

If I went home now, I would be unable to do my assignments in peace so far stupid Mason was around.

I picked out the books I needed to help me with my assignments and I started. I didn’t know a lot of time had flew by until I checked my phone and saw that the time was past five in the evening.

I rushed out of the library in a hurry and halted a taxi, imputing the address into his goggle map.

I got home around last six PM and the time I’d set aside for tutoring Xander was 7 PM. I didn’t have much time to prepare, but I know I’d still be able to come up with something before he arrives.

I scanned the house for Danny and my mother to find out that they weren’t around.

I hurriedly made my way to my room and the sounds I was hearing echoing loudly in the hallway wasn’t really surprising.

But, it was definitely disgusting.

Mason was currently having sex and the girl this time was moaning like there was no tomorrow.

I scrunch my nose in disgust as I paused in front of my bedroom door, while eying his bedroom door up, which was situated a few feet away from mine.

The more I stared, the more the idea I had suddenly gotten, brightened in my head.

I slowly walked towards his door and stood before it, and then I inhaled deeply.

“You’re not the only girl he fucked in the past few days, he had another one over yesterday and trust that she was decent enough to be silent while getting fucked! So, keep your fucking voice down!” I shouted and almost immediately, the lewd sounds in the bedroom slowly halted.

I hurriedly made my way back to my room, laughing gleefully to myself as I got ready to take a quick shower.

Minutes later, I brought out the needed books and then I started drafting a time table of the subjects I’d be sifting through with Xander. I got a few more important things together, knowing that I needed to be fully prepared before he got here.
