My Tutor Is a Snake

17

As if she was bewitched, Maggie not only ask Haward questions after advanced math class but also went to his office at some other time.

I suspected that Haward might have cast a spell on her.

When Maggie told me that Haward had agreed to eat with her alone, I couldn't hold my anger anymore. I ran to Haward's office, pushed open the door, and rushed in.

Haward stood by the window and looked out at the scenery. He wasn't surprised to see me coming in and was as calm as usual.

"Haward, did you play tricks to make Maggie fall in love with you?

"Please stay away from my roommate. We are only ordinary people. We're no match for a monster like you!" I stood in front of him and retorted.

Haward burst into laughter.

He said as if to an unreasonable child, "I didn't play tricks. As I said before, I just want to live a stable life in a corner of the world. I won't play tricks at will, let alone for such a thing."

I looked at him with a straight face.
