I opened the passenger side door and slid in. Tyler started driving off and it was in silence at first until he broke it
"Your teacher called" He said
"Oh" I replied
"A thirty-two percent on a math test, how?" He asked
"It was a hard test and I didn't understand anything" I said
"You could have asked for help" He replied
"I did, Anders tried but we both gave up and I tried learning it and asking help but I just didn't get it" I said
"You're getting a tutor" He said
"Ok" I replied
We reached the house and I went upstairs to change out of the uniform and relax. I went downstairs to grab some food and watch some tv. I had english and math homework so I know I had to start soon.
I grabbed my computer and started on my English homework. It was a writing assignment and I have never been good at these, I do average on them but since this is a private college prep school they expected better than normal. Once I finished my english homework, I started on math. I tried doing a couple problems but gave up because nothing made sense. I grab the worksheet and go downstairs to find Anders
"Anders, can you help me with math?" I asked
"You should ask Tyler, he's good at math" He replied
"Come on, please?" I asked
"Tyler will help you get an A" he replied
"Fine, I'll ask him" I said annoyed. I walked to his office and knocked on the door
"Come in" he said
"Can you help me with homework?" I asked
"I'm busy with work, I can help you after in the kitchen table" he said
"Ok" I replied
I left his office and waited till he could help me. I ate dinner while waiting which he didn't join me for. I waited all night, waiting for him to help me with my homework.
It was almost midnight and I decided to go to bed. He could have just told me he didn't want to help me
"What are you doing up?" He asked
"You said you will help me with homework" I replied
"Oh, yeah. Let's see the problems" he said. He sat next to me looking at the worksheet. We went through some problems but he wasn't making any sense
"You have to flip it" He exclaimed
"But why!" I shouted. We've been at this for the past hour and a half and all I wanted to do was sleep. Tyler wasn't a good teacher
"Because you just have to" he shouted
"I give up" I said hopping off the chair. I grabbed my stuff and head out of the kitchen
"Bianchi's don't give up" he exclaimed
"Well now you know one" I said walking up the stairs and into my room. I packed my bag for school and headed to bed
1 week later
Math has been tough, but Tyler got me a tutor. The tutor who's name is marissa has been helpful unlike Tyler who didn't help much.
Tomorrow was my first day of soccer conditioning and I didn't have any equipment.
"Anders" I called out as I walked through the foyer
