Peter's pov

I was jogging with Cole. It had been 20 minutes, He didn't get tired while I was dying.

" Hey, I can't, I need to rest." I said, throwing myself on the grass

He turned to me and crouched down smiling," Poor old man."

I just closed my eyes. He asked, " Wanna go home?"

I nodded. He stood up and extended his hand out to me. I reached it and he helped me to get up.

" Wanna eat out?"

" Yeah." I cheered

He ruffled my hair. " Then let's go."

" Stop, you ruined my hair."

" Like this is nicer." He chuckled and I punch his arm lightly

He took me to the restaurant. We had breakfast then we went to the house. I showered and dressed up.

He took me to school. I met with Aria, I missed her so much. I walked her to her class then I went to mine. It was boring. At the 5th period I slept, Oliver was sitting in front of me and Miles behind me so I secured myself. When it all done, I said goodbye to Miles who is going to his practice then I got in Cole's car. Je headed towards the house.

" How's your day?" He asked

" Boring!" I frowned

" Sorry for that! Today is your first day with your Maths teacher at home." He chuckled

I whined then said, " Cole, I don't know but I think school isn't my thing."

" What?" He stopped the car on the right

I regretted what I had said. He gazed at me, I looked from the window, avoiding eye contact.

" Peter, look at me and say it again." He ordered harshly

" I don't want to go to school anymore."

" So you don't want to have your phone, your PC, your clothes, your room, your house, your things anymore." He said with a calm tone

" I didn't mean like this. I just-"

" You just don't! Listen up kid, you don't study, you lose privilege even if it's going to be the toilet. You are brilliant and skillful, and I won't let you destroy your future."

" Let me help you in the Mafia."

" Don't open that topic again, no gang and no mafia." He said annoyed, half yelling, " You are helping me by studying, getting good marks, and being safe."

I nodded just I don't want to push it

He resumed driving us home, he said calmly, " And you will study with those teachers that I chose, you will like them."

" I don't think so."

" You will see, I just want you to not give them a hard time."

" I will try." I said, puffing

He sped up. I gripped the handle of the door, opening my eyes wide. Yes, I like speeding but I hate it now

" Cole, you hit 120."

He slowed down. Oh God!

" What were you doing? You want to kill us?" I said, grumbling

" I'm sorry, I was just thinking." He said, ruffling my hair

" Stop," I smacked his hand away, " Are you mad?"

" Don't say those things again." He said, looking at me with concern

" It's the truth, I'm stupid and studying is waste of time and money." He looked at me, glaring this time

I just realized that I called myself stupid. He extended his hand and reached my ear, he pulled it.

" Ow, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

" I think I need to get my belt this time." He smirked

" No, no." I cried out of pain

He let go of my ear and smiled, " You won't say bad things about yourself again, it's your last chance."

" Get it." I said, sensing my ear

" Can I at least attend Miles' match this Wednesday?"

" Of course you can." He just said

" Thank you."

He pulled over. We got out of the car, and headed to the living room where we found a beautiful woman sipping a cup of tea.

" Hey, Sir." She stood up once she saw us

" Hey, I'm Marco. This is Peter, and Pete this is your maths' teacher." Cole said

" Ohh really, nice to meet you." I said, shaking her hand

She nodded, smiling.

" Take her to your room and start the first session."

I did as he said. We sat in the room. She started, making me understand the basics but I just hated it and It's so boring. I was puffing all the time. I took my little ball and I started throwing it in the room while she's explaining. In the end, she caught the ball and looked at me sternly.

" What's up? I'm trying to help here and you didn't pay attention. Can I know why?"

" I'm just here because he made me do it, I don't want to."

" Hmm, I see! We can find a way to get you out of this hell."

" What? What are you talking about?" I blinked twice

" All older brothers are known to be stubborn, cold, and the one in power. They are the ones that usually tell us what to do. Being the younger sibling, we have no choice but to do it. But can you get it the other way around?" She asked

" How? " I said interested

" Understanding who he is. He acts because of a couple of hidden things that make him who he is. To make him do what you want, you have to really get to know him so that you can expect and overcome his possible attitudes towards your plan."

" Ohh it's really hard if the brother is Cole. He is a moody person."

" Just try! If you start to focus and work hard with me I'll give you more tips even I will tell your brother good things about you so he stops imposing himself. "

" Good deal. " We shook hands then returned to our lesson

Those four hours of studying came out with a result. I understood three chapters. I solved a worksheet about all three alone. It was  an excellent session.

" Goodbye Hope." I hugged her

" Goodbye, Peter, see you tomorrow." She hugged me back

" Yeah, see you."

I nodded and made Luke take where she wants.
