"First thing's first Rest In Peace Uncle Phil" (No Role Models by J Cole) Is the first thing I hear every school morning.
I slam my small hands on my alarm clock, turning it off successfully.
Today is the day I meet the person I'm tutoring. I hope it's someone good because I have no energy to deal with any bullshit anymore.
Rubbing my eyes with my fisted hands, I get up and head over to my bathroom, taking a quick shower before I do my skincare routine. While having a face mask on, I go out and pick an outfit to wear to school today. Rummaging through my draws, I pick out the perfect outfit and head over to find shoes that match. I then take off my face mask and curl my lashes, applying mascara then some lip gloss.

Remember ladies, ALWAYS take care of yourself. It doesn't hurt anyone to care for your body.
I then get my foundation and dap them over the bruises on my chest.
Right, did I mention since mamas death, my dad has been abusing me? Thought not.
After I'm done getting ready, I head over to Miss Miyahs room.
And there she is in all her glory, sleeping like a starfish and taking up the whole double sized bed. I was hoping she was awake so I could say good bye. Miss Miyahs starts school next year and I'm not ready to let her go.
And no, dad doesn't hurt Miss Miyahs, only me. If he did I would immediately move out with her and away from my excuse of a father.
I head downstairs and grab an apple from the table before heading for the door.
"Where the fuck are you going" An angry voice startles me. I turn around to see my dad. Slumped on the couch with empty beer cans on the table and floor.
"School" I say, emotionless. I don't know why he thinks he can abuse me. I only put up with it because me and Miss Miyahs have nowhere else to go.
"Like hell you are, get over here" He spat.
I ignore him and walk out of the door. Like I said, I don't have time for no ones shit.
I put my AirPods in, blast music, and walk the 10 minutes to school.

"Tessa" Brielle giggled and ran up to me, hugging me tightly.
"Hey Bri" I chuckle, leaning into her embrace.
"What's your plans after school?" She raises a brow, pulling out from the hug.
"I need to meet the person Mrs Rosewood wants me to tutor" I give her a pout, knowing she wanted us to hang out.
"Oh it's fine, let me know if you get yourself a hottie" She winks at me. I am baffled.
"Bri you know I don't do relationships after Mason" I deadpanned.
Mason was my boyfriend of 1 year and 3 months. I ended things off 5 months ago because I caught him sucking Lily's face off.
Another introduction, Lily is the most annoying and self centered bitch I have ever met. She thinks she owns the school and all the students inside of it.
"Babe it's time, he cheated on your sexy ass. Show him what he's missing out on" She tried to convince me, looking me directly in my eyes.
"I don't think so Bri, I have just learnt to love myself again. I don't know if I want to go through that shit again" I shrug, looking away. I can't look into someones eyes, it feels too awkward.
"Whatever you say hun" She slips a little smirk on her face.
"Let's just get to class, we have Physics first" I rolled my eyes, tugging her away.

At my last lunch break, I find myself in the maths faculty room, looking for Miss Rosewoods. It smells like cheese toasties and a bunch of coffee in here. As if she knew what I was doing, she speaks up.
"Over here Tessa" She waves her hand, catching my attention. She's standing with a tall muscular boy, that might be who I'm tutoring.
Walking up to her, I smile softly.
"Tessa, this is Leonidas. Leonidas, your tutor Tessa" She introduced us. That was before my jaw dropped to the ground. You have got to be fucking kidding me.
Leonidas Ford is the schools bad boy. 6'4 with pitch black hair. Tattoos running across his forearm, and dark green eyes. Did I mention he is made out of muscle and muscle only? He is absolutely ripped.
"Cool" I hear him mutter, before turning to leave the faculty room.
"Leo, talk to her and organise a schedule" Mrs Rosewood deadpanned, running out of patience.
"Nah I'm good" He mumbles, grabbing the door handle.
"Leave this room and you will repeat your last school year, I'm running out of patience Leo. Tessa can help you" She said sincerely. And I was right, she was hell running out of patience.
Leo hesitates to grab the door, but he lets go of it and turns back around, headed towards us.
He towered right over my 5'4, small frame. I wouldn't say I was skinny though. I work out a lot to take my mind off my mamas passing and my dads abusing.
"Thank you Tessa, I'm gonna head out if that's okay with you?" She asked, knowing he could be dangerous if not supervised.
"I'm fine Miss, thank you" I give her a warm smile before she nods and leaves the classroom.
"I'm free whenever but I'd like to fit in 3-4 lessons a week" I speak up after the minute of silence.
"You're not tutoring me, I don't need a tutor" He deadpanned. Does this guy ever show emotion. Before I could say anything, he turns around and leaves the room. For fuck sake, he is annoying me already.
After a while, I decided I was going to talk to him tomorrow because like I've said many times, I don't have time for no ones shit. But I will end up tutoring him, whether he likes it or not. And if he doesn't, quite frankly I don't give a shit.
Slamming the door on the way out, I head over to my locker to grab my books for my last period. Only one more period and I get to go home.
