After Hours

Tutor P.O.V

"Yes, I called you down because I would like to ask a favor of you," Hearing this instantly lit my face up, easing my nerves slightly. I was so happy that I wasn't in trouble, I almost didn't care what favor she wanted from me. "Come and sit down, relax," She smiled at me.

"Okay," I nearly whispered.

"Do you know of Mr. Rider?" He continued to stare at me like he was trying to figure something out, like he was trying to figure me out. His was slouching slightly, making me aware that he's comfortable in this situation, like he has been in it perviously, or even several times before.

"I'm sorry, I don't believe I do. The first time I met him was a couple minutes ago," Smirking, he remember his encounter with the teacher, realizing I was there to witness it. Mrs. Rigid had a confused look on her face from the odd comment, but she decided to ignore it and move on with what she was saying.

"It's alright sweetheart, Mr. Rider here seems to be known for his tardiness every day," I was a little shocked by this. "That is partially the reason I called you down today. I've noticed that you haven't missed a day of school your whole educational career. That is very impressive. Also you have had straight A's throughout all of middle school, and so far, high school. You are a star," She said beaming. I blushed furiously, looking at the floor the whole time. I looked over my shoulder to see him rolling his eyes and turning his face toward the principal. He probably doesn't care about stuff like that considering his reputation. I noticed he seemed bored of the conversation and almost looked like he was falling asleep. He probably was, to be honest.

Then he sneakily took his new looking smartphone out from his pocket, and began texting under the desk to a mystery person.

"Thank you," I shyly say while peeling my eyes off of his perfect features.

"Well you're probably wondering why I brought you down here, because it's not so I could complement you," She laughed. I huffed out soft laugh thinking about how stupid that would be. Again the boy didn't seem amused. "With your amazing grades, and perfect attendance, I was wondering if you could tutor Mr. Rider after school every day," He's eyes shot up.

"Every day?" He almost groaned, while putting his phone back into his pocket. I was slightly offended by this statement but I kept my opinion to myself.

"Yes Mr. Rider, every day. Remember you brought this all on yourself. If you just tried, we wouldn't be in this situation," I could see a vein throbbing on the side of her head. I have never seen her mad, but I also only have seen her once before this and that was at freshman orientation. I never said I wasn't a goody two shoes, but I also never said I wasn't proud of it either. "If you do me this humongous favor, I would add this as extra credit for all of your classes. Is that okay with you dear," She said turning to me.

"Y-yea...sure" I replied semi-confidently. I turned my head to both of them smiling, hoping that I look excited about all of this when really I was super nervous. I may be nice and polite to everyone but I'm not very outgoing and talkative, and this was a boy we're talking about. I would be spending my after school days with a BOY. THE OTHER GENDER. Ugh, I hope he is nice at least.

"Awesome! Okay here is how all of this is going to go down. You both are going to meet after school in the library, unless of course you choose to do this somewhere else, and do homework together. You will also have to help him get caught up on all of his late homework. I've discussed with the other teachers, and they all agreed to give you full credit if you turn it all in by the end of this quarter I believe that is next Friday. Also you can retake any tests or quizzes that you got below a C, again before Friday," he looked at her like she was crazy. "Mr. Rider, you need to understand how generous this is. In a way this is your fresh start. I would use it wisely if I were you. You're both dismissed. The tutoring starts today. A pass will be sent to both of your current classes through email," She distractedly stated while doing a billion other things on her computer and from stuff on her desk.
