Going Back To School

"Uhm…" Michael took the mouse from my hand and flipped through my homework. "This is a little inefficient. Do you want to go back to school?"

"Huh?" I looked at him in surprise.

Michael wanted to let me move outside his sphere of influence. This was something I had never thought of.

"Didn't you say it was boring to stay in? I don't think you've mentioned it much lately. You can return to school if you don't like staying here every day. That will help your studies," Michael said.

Going back to class would be better than going online. I could have face-to-face conversations with my professors and classmates and be much more efficient in doing my homework.

In the past, I would have promised Michael without hesitation, and I was afraid he would go back on his word. But now, I was hesitant.

Before, my focus had been on my studies. But now, if I was destined to live with Michael in the future, I needed to think about more things.
