4.0 Tutoring / backstory part 1

HELLOOOOOO!!!! sorry for being this late

Welcome back, I hope you Enjoy;)

I was sitting at my desk doing my overdue history assignments, the classroom was empty since the class had ended a while ago. I was so absorbed with my work, I barely noticed the teacher was still there, she was an old lady with brown eyes and blonde hair, she was wearing a light pink cardigan and a long-length skirt that matched with the cardigan. Her name was Mrs. Braun, known for being strict when it came to her students. I was sort of failing her class, I really suck at history. Most people were surprised by the fact that I was bad at this subject, even myself to be sincere, but it's hard to just sit still and listen to an old lady talk nonstop, and on top of that, I have a very bad memory so I always mix up the dates

I finished with all the worksheets, I wrote my name on the last paper before standing up with the worksheets in my hands and heading towards the teacher's desk, as I advanced I could hear the sole of my shoe hit the floor, the teacher seemed to be grading some handouts from other students, she directed her eyes at me, when she heard me approach her, she put her pen aside and took off her glasses tucking them in her hair, and crossed her arms over the desk. As I passed her my papers she eyed me and arched an eyebrow, "Student. Zöe, according to what I've been informed, you have a scholarship right?" I fidgeted my fingers behind my back looking at my teacher nervously "Yeah, you've been informed well Mrs. Braun" I said faking a smile, then she added "I also know that you're behind in my class" I didn't like where this was going. "You DO know that you could lose the scholarship if your performance in classes reduces right?" I looked down, I didn't want to lose the scholarship, I worked hard for it "but there is something you can do" Mrs. Braun continued, I put my eyes on her and listened carefully "This is my offer, you will get tutoring but your grades in this class have to improve, otherwise, your scholarship will be discarded, you are dismissed and meet me in the library tomorrow after school to assign your tutor" my eyes widened, I could lose my scholarship?? And I didn't want a tutor either, people tend to lose patience when teaching me. Well, I guess there is nothing to be done "Yes, and thank, Mrs. Braun," I said putting my backpack on my arm.

It was already the next day and I wasn't really looking forward to meeting my so called "tutor". The time passed slowly but it slipped through my hands like water, next thing I knew I was heading towards my last class. I spent most of the day thinking about this "tutor". Moblit Berner.

I've been informed that he is a Star student, if it's one of Mrs. Braun favorites then there are only two things to expect, He definitely is smart and an ass kisser.

When the class was finally over I had to drag myself into the school halls, making my way to the library, my feet felt heavy and I had the urge to tuck my hair behind my ears every 5 fucking minutes. When I was finally standing before the doors of the library I passed down saliva, "No, nop, fuck this" I turned around and started walking the other way but when the thought of losing my scholarship hit me, I slapped myself "pull yourself together Hange!" I took a big breath and entered the library, I asked the lady at the counter if she knew where Mrs. Braun was, she said she was at the back, where the big tables were, only teachers are allowed to be there, I led my way to the back of the library wandering between the bookshelves when I was finally there, I saw Mrs. Braun sitting in one of the chairs and next to her was a guy, tall looking, 1.78 I would say, Hazel eyes, light brown hair parted in two, his light brown skin complemented his eyes, he was wearing a light blue shirt. He had a book between his hands, "well, he might be a star student, sadly I can't say the same about his style", I came closer to the table and greet Mrs. Braun, "Good Afternoon Student Zöe, you might take a sit" I uncomfortably sat across the table, all my body felt tense and I was biting the inside of my lip "So, Student Zöe as I informed you yesterday for the sake of your scholarship I'll assign you a tutor so you can recover your grades, otherwise, your scholarship might be at risk," she said with her fingers intertwined and her hands pressed together over the table, I nodded as sign I understood what was at game "this right here it's Moblit Berner, he is in the advanced class and has very outstanding grades, he is going to be your tutor for the rest of the remaining year and starting from today" "great" I thought, I didn't have my phone and I had no way to tell my parents I was getting home later than usual, not like they cared anyway When Mrs. Braun had exited the library Moblit closed his book and finally talked, "let's go somewhere else shall we?" I arched an eyebrow "so you can study better I assume" then I understood what he meant "oh yeah, you're right" he sure had his way with words, he talked like a 60-year-old being 19, I always thought people like that were rather interesting and oddly funny. When we found a spot to study he asked me to wait while he went to grab some books I agreed and waited, he brought a pile of books, I sighed and took out my notebook and the poorly cared worksheets, he then asked "What would you prefer to study first?" I shrugged on my seat "um I would like to study dates first, I'm horrible at them" he assented, "perfect, from where would you like to begin?" I made a confused face, "Uh..from the start?" he pulled out one book "okay" he said turning the pages "So, 2million of years ago when the homosapiens.." wait was he joking or was he really this clueless? I cracked in laughter, I slammed my fist in the table and kept laughing , Moblit looked at me completely oblivious of the situation "May I know what it's so hilarous?" I wiped the inexistent tears off my eyes , I took a deep breath and said "Moblit, I think you misunderstood, I meant since the 13 colonies, the start of America " I said composing myself, he blushed a little. "OH. Pardon, I misinterpreted what you meant, "okay so the 13 colonies.." he said grabbing another book from the pile and turning the pages

On their way home✨

"That was actually kind of fun" I thought, people always lose patience when teaching me but he didn't, he didn't make me feel dumb like teachers or adults usually do. I get good grades and most classes aren't a real challenge for me, if it wasn't for the fact that I get distracted very easily

The day was hazy, even though the clime prognostic was that it was going to be sunny today, I didn't live far from school anyway so I wasn't really worried about raining, It would actually better my day if it rained right now, like in those novels.

When I entered home my dad was sitting at the table reading the newspaper and my mom was in the kitchen washing the dishes. I closed the door "I'm home" I tried to sound enthusiastic and sneak to my room, my dad raised his eyes to look at me "why are you late?" "shit" I cursed to my self, turning around and accommodating my glasses "I inscribed to a club" I rubbed the back of my head trying not to look suspicious he looked at me in expectation raising an eyebrow, "Don't lie." "Wha-uh- I'm not" I sighed, "I got assigned a tutor" he rolled his eyes, "I told you that such a "big role" isn't fit for you, just settle down with something more modest, if you like chemistry that much you can just be a chemistry teacher" I didn't even bother answering and just went to my room, I went up the stairs and jumped on my bed planting my face on my pillow, my parents have been different since I told them I want to study chemistry and move to New York to work in a important food company, they've been always rather simple minded, they are happy with a house, family and food, I mean it's not wrong to wish for a simple life, but I want more. I raised my head at my desk and my eyes met with something I've been working on for the past months, it was a chemistry project about a substance that reduced the toxicity of certain food chemicals, most food chemicals are acid, so to neutralize an acid you need an alkaline source, but It needed to have a neutral taste so It could change the effects it has on the body but not the taste, I sat up, changed my clothes and started working non-stop until past midnight.

*****

Days passed and Moblit's tutoring session became my favorite part of the day, we've got closer, I got to say his jokes are rather jayus (a joke that is so bad that causes to be funny) , I also told him about my interest in Science, turns out he was also majoring for Chemistry, the reason we've never met before it's because he attends to advanced classes, I snapped and noticed the bell rang and everybody was already running towards the door, I directed to the cafeteria, walking through the halls, when I ran into Moblit then we both headed to the cafeteria

The cafeteria was very crowded, as usual and all the tables seemed occupied, we waited our turn in the line, mean while I spoted a black haired girl.
