Sharkboy (E.Kirishima x OC) (on break)

Chapter 17: the study date?

Viktoriya's pov

-in class-

"94%" my brother said smirking

"97% SUCK IT!" I yelled back

"How are you guys so smart?" Kaminari asked

"Because we do something called studying" we said in sync

"I love it when they do that." Mina said making everyone laugh
"Dumbasses" we both said making everyone laugh even more

-later-

"How did you do on our test anyways?" I asked Sharkboy while we were sitting together in the common area

"..."

"You didn't do great did you?"

"..."

"What was your score"

"..."

"Say something"

"Sxt igt" He mumbled

"Huh?"

"Sxt igt"

"You're not making sense"

"..."

"Just tell me. It couldn't be that bad" he took a deep breath

"68%"

"68?"

I could never

"Okay... um..."

"I just don't get it! All the formulas look the same"

"They really don't"

"To you! You're one of tops in our class"

"It's cause I work my ass off and study"

"But I do study. I thought I had this test in the bag but obviously not" he had clear shame in his eyes. I knew that he would make me feel terrible if I made fun of him

"Why don't you study with me..."

"Yeah I know I have- wait you say what now?"

"You can study with me..."

"But wouldn't Bakubro get all-" he looked down at the floor.

"I don't study with him," I said, cutting him off. There was a sudden pause. I took a breath "meet me in the library tomorrow after school"

"Really?" he said raising his head

"Yeah. Don't make me change my mind"

"Oh my god thank you so much Tori! I'm so excited!"

Cute

-The next day-

I walked into the library and looked around just to hear sharkboy's voice

"Tori! Over here!" I chuckled to myself before I walked over and threw my bookbag on top of the table in which he was sitting at.

"Okay, let's get this over with"

Kiris pov

"Okay, let's get this over with"

Am I going to waste her time? I mean I want her to help me but she probably has other things to do right?

"I-if you have something else to do and you're not doing it because you're helping me study, you don't have to help me. I can figure it out. I don't want to waste your time and-"

"No" she interrupted slightly yelling "I mean, no. I mean, I have to study anyway..." her voice got soft.

"I'm not taking up your time?"

"No... I mean, it's not like I want to help you study, I want... our class average percentages to raise and beat 1-B" she sounded unsure "and even one person can impact that. Your grade is 5% of the class average. It doesn't sound like much, but it is. Especially when we have idiots in the class like Sparky. Plus, teaching is one of the best ways to study"

-later-

"Hey, um... how do you do this?" She leaned over my shoulder to look at my problem.

"Of course it's English," she said, rolling her eyes. She scooted her chair closer to mine "For starters, tell me the alphabet and how to pronounce each letter-"

-a few minutes after figuring out the sounds and a couple examples-

"Now say this sentence" she wrote down another sentence

"My hair is red"

"That's right. That's your third in a row" she said, smiling slightly but then caught herself and gave the straight face that she had before. "It looks like you're getting the hang of the verbal concept. Now, let's work on writing"

"..."

"We talked about this, Just try."

"..."

"Okay. write this down 'They went to their car'" she waited a few seconds before she repeated the sentence a bit slower this time "They went, to their car" I put down my pencil for her to check

'They went to there car'

"That's not right"

"Ugh. Are you serious? I thought I got that one right" I frowned and crashed my head onto the table a bit too hard "ow..." I noticed her chuckle a bit

cute she should laugh more

"You only messed up on one thing though... The there was wrong." she said back to her normal tone. I looked up from the table "English can be kinda complicated sometimes. The 'there's,' 'It's,' and 'yours' are always hard to get. There are three types of "there's" she wrote down the word...

-the explanation later-

"Let's try another one. 'Is that your school?'" she repeated her sentence slower as I sounded it out under my breath then trying to remember what she just said about the two different kinds of "yours"

"Is this right?" I handed her my paper

"Yes..." she said, her eyes widening slightly.

"Really?"

"Yeah. So are you starting to get it?"

"I think so"

"Okay then, lets try another one"

"Seriously?!" I groaned

"Do you want a good grade or not?""
