Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

"Uhh-Brother? Slacken off." Brenna snorted which made Y/N and Tutor shy away from kissing, embarrassed.

"I-got-I-I'll probably go change." Y/N rushed to his room out of shyness.

"I'll go see if he needs any help-" Tutor trailed off when Brenna glared at her in dismay. "I mean, I'll go make my bed." Tutor chuckled nervously. "You are okay with me spending the night here, right?"

"Of course, but only if you promise no funny business." Brenna crossed her arms.

"Chillax, Bren! You know us."

"Yeah, Good night!" Brenna rolled her eyes before going back to her room.

"Excellent job, Max!" Tutor admired.

"Thanks Tutor, Now I think I am gonna beat Justin and Alex and win the family Wizard competition." Max boasted.

"You just turned a glass of water into ice, Kids half your age can do it." Alex rolled her eyes.

"That's rude, Alex. You should be appreciating your brother's progress, not make fun of him." Tutor complained which made Alex scoff.

"Don't mind them, Tutor. They are scared cuz I am going to be the family wizard." Max said..

"Of course." Justin and Alex laughed together.

"Anyways, I am leaving. I have to go prepare things for the carnival tomorrow." Alex said.

"You guys are going to the carnival?" Tutor asked.

"Yeah, Aren't you?" Justin replied.

"Yes I am going too. Me Y/N-I mean Me and my friends from Wizard world are going." Tutor chuckled nervously. "I am happy that you all are coming too."

Alex glared at Tutor warily before speaking. "We'd love to meet your friends, Tutor." Alex said. Tutor smiled in response.

"Evening, Children." Jerry greeted as he entered the room. "How's Max doing? Any progress?" He asked.

"Yes, Mr. Russo. Your son is doing very well." Tutor said.

"Are you going somewhere?" Alex asked when Tutor picked up her handbag.

"Yeah. I'm calling this a day. I too have to go and get ready for tomorrow's carnival." Tutor said.

"To shopping?" Alex asked.

"Yeah." Tutor smiled.

"Cool, Let's go together. I wanted to get some things too."

"No we can't! I mean, I am going with my friends from wizard world and they are already waiting." Tutor chuckled.

"Oh. Okay, then. See you tomorrow, I guess."

"Yeah. Bye alex." Tutor said and turned back to leave.

"Tutor?" Alex called again.

"Yeah?"

"You said you're going with your friends, aren't you supposed to go through the portal door or are you going somewhere else?" Alex asked.

"I am sorry-my bad." Tutor turned back and took the portal door for her exit. Alex got lost in thoughts because of her friend's weird acts. "Everything will be revealed tomorrow." She said to herself with a shrug and got back to her couch.

"Okay, What I'm about to attempt is a very advanced, not for everyone, do not try this at home- thin man spell." Justin stated as he drew his family's attention to himself.

"Great! Its a spell that will make Justin thin and a man." Alex replied which made everyone present over there, laugh at Justin.

"Thin-and a man-Haha." Jerry laughed but he tried to stop when he saw justin's sad face. "Sorry, I am happy cuz someone made a weight joke and it wasn't about me." Jerry raised his arms in defence.

"Ok, here we go. Hair frizzy, don't have a tizzy, thin lizzy."

As soon as he chanted the spell successfully, The sound of poppers and alarms filled the room. Jerry proudly got up from his seat.

"Is it part of the spell?" Alex asked.

"No its not." Mr. Stuffleby said as he entered the lair through the portal.

"Hello Russos! I hope you remember me, because I bothered to remember you." He continued. Everyone brought their attention towards Mr. Stuffleby. "I am here to congratulate Justin Russo. He just mastered his 5000 spells, marking an end to his wizard studies." He said. "Go ahead, celebrate, let it all out."

"I did it! I am done, Haha." Justin exclaimed triumphantly .

"Now put it back. I have more duties for today." Mr. Stuffleby turned Justin back to normal. Alex got up from her place and whispered.

"Hey, Hey, Mr. Stuffleby. How many spells have I successfully completed?" Alex asked.

"Oh? We don't like to keep track of numbers. Two hundred-give or take a Hundred-A hundred." He said.

Alex's smile dropped. "Yess! Then I guess this party is for me too." She asserted confidently and got back to her seat.

"I'm so proud of you, Go get any favorite-any piece of pie from the pie fridge. You earned it son." Jerry patted oh his son's shoulder, proudly.

"Awesome! I've completed my entire wizard studies and I am getting a slice of pie." Justin made fun of his brother and sister who were sitting with their arms crossed.

"Hold on a second!" Mr. Stuffleby walked between them and said. "With the completion of your basic Wizard studies, you now move on to the next step of becoming a wizard: Independent Studies."

"Nice going, Justin. You finished school to be rewarded with more school." Alex scoffed. "And hey! This competition is not over yet. Don't count out me and max!" Alex crossed her arms.

"Yeah. I am smarter than that chair. I take its money all the time." Max said as he got up from the place and walked to the chair next to them. He reached into the chair and pulled out a dollar. "Take that, Chair!" He scoffed at the chair and left the lair with that dollar..

"Well, Don't count out me." Alex sighed at max's actions.

"Y/N, you said your classmate is unaware that you are not a normal human?" Tutor said.

"Who are we talking about?" Y/N asked.

"Alex russo."

"Actually, she does but she doesn't know that I am a-"

"She does?" Tutor exclaimed.

"Yeah, Why?"

"Alex and her brothers are going to the carnival tomorrow. So if they already know about you, then there's nothing to worry about." Tutor said.

"Alex is going to the carnival?" His eyes widened in delight.

"Mhmm." Tutor crossed her arms and smirked at his reaction.

"Tha-Thats cool." Y/N chuckled. "What's that reaction for?"

"Nothing. Looks like someone got excited when they heard about Alex." Tutor giggled

"I am not excited. Why would I be, huh? I would be excited if she wouldn't be coming tomorrow. You don't know her like I do. She is so cunning and-and-evil-yeah." Y/N said as he bowed his head.

"Oh, is she?" Tutor giggled.

"Ye- stop it, tutor!" Y/N huffed.

"Okay okay, I'm just messing with ya. Sorry." Tutor laughed. "So shall we leave now?"

"Tutor." Y/N let out a tired sigh. "I told you I couldn't go shopping with you there. Me and Brenna, We aren't supposed to show up in wizard world without professor crumbs permission."

"I missed being with you. We met after a long time and I wanted to spend some time with you." Tutor stated sadly.

"We are spending time, are'nt we? And as far as you're concerned about wizard world, we are invited for the carnival tomorrow and I don't know when will you ever see me there after that." Y/N shrugged.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Spill it."

"Do you-You know-Do you still love me?" Tutor asked.

"Where's that coming from?"

"Yes or No, Y/N? Please."

"Yes I do..." Y/N trailed off.

"But?"

"But as we have decided, it's better if we aren't together."

"But it's not working. I love you so much and staying apart, it's killing me."

"Tutor, we have talked about this. This is for your own good."

"You don't understand Y/N, this is not doing good to anyone of us. I dont care about anything, I just want to be with you again. To live with you again, to go on dates, to explore new places, to be just as amazing as we were together."

"You were hospitalised because of me!" Y/N exclaimed.

"I never blamed you for that. I know it will never happen again."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because, I love you and even if something like that happens, it's okay. We love each other and we are supposed to stick together in each others good and bad."

"It's okay? It's not okay! You dont know how I spent those days when you were in the hospital. I couldnt stop blaming me. I dont understand how you are chill about it. You are so kind, and sweet and loving, tutor. You deserve someone who will treats you like a queen, not someone who hurts you because of his anger issues."

"YOU will treat me like a queen. I know that. And about your anger issues we can work on that together." Tutor said as she cupped Y/N's face in her hands.

"No-I-I don't know."

"Dinner's ready, brother!" Brenna yelled from the kitchen.

"We-uh-dinner's ready." Y/N wiped his eyes and smiled before heading out for dinner. Tutor's eyes started to tear up at that response.
