"english tutor"

Needless to say what happened in prank week had brought Willa and Clay back to where they were before. The captains completely bewildered how the two could go from being civilized to mortal enemies.

Jack kept hitting his head on his locker as Niki placed her hand on his forehead to stop it. The others were waiting for the two to get out of Kara's office.

Kara and Phil finding out about what happened had taken upon themselves as their coaches to talk to them. "I swear to everything that is good, they won't move on from this." Charlie said as he crossed his arms.

Will scoffed, "Do you know how long Willa took in the shower to try and wash the green out of her hair?" he asked. Nick scoffed, "Yes well Clay went through the car wash like 10 times to get the green out." He grumbled.

Jimmy motioned to the door opening and there walked out scowling. "Remember extra hours of practice." Kara said as her and Phil walked out with smirks.

Carver and Niki whined but the coaches waved their hands, "Oh don't worry the practice is only for these troublemakers." Phil said. Kara hummed in agreement.

The adults walked to their classes leaving the group of friends. Willa scoffed and looked to Jimmy, "I asked Maddy-" "Yeah she made me bring this." He cut her off and handed her a ponytail.

Clay looked at the ponytail and grabbed, "What the hell is wrong with you Thompson?" she asked annoyed. He huffed and pocketed the ponytail. "A lot of things apparently according to you." he said.

"Give me the damn ponytail." She growled. He snickered and ran away, "Come get it then!" he yelled. She groaned and passed George her bag. "Bring that to English will you!" she yelled and ran after him.

The others stood there confused. "Umm did she just choose to run after him?" Nick asked. Niki scoffed, "She is so dumb." She said. The others turned to her and she rolled her eyes. She raised her arm, "I have some right here."

English class was a hit, they had finished the test about Romeo and Juliet and the students were now piling out of the room. That was until Dave called out, "Miss Baker. Mister Thompson please stay." He said.

Clay raised an eyebrow while Willa looked at Niki questioningly but she shrugged. The two walked to the front, leaving a huge space between them.

Dave immediately noticed and hummed. He crossed his fingers and leaned his chin on them. "Sit." He said. The two hesitantly sat next to each other. "Sir did we do-" "No. Well not about what happened last week." He said referring to Willa's green hair.

Willa snickered while Clay rolled his eyes. "I called you both because- I'm sorry Mister Thompson but you need help." He said. "With what?" Clay asked. "With a lot of things." Willa mumbled. "I wasn't asking you." he said.

Before anything else could blow up Dave spoke again, "Your grades and scores are low in my class and I believe a tutor will do you good." He said.

Willa snickered, "You need tutor. Of course." She said. Clay glared at her as she chuckled, "I won't be laughing if I were you Miss Baker." Dave said with a raised eyebrow. She hummed, "But I'm not failing your class Sir Baker." She said.

Dave nodded and smiled, "That is correct which is why I have decided that you will be the one to tutor Mister Thompson." He said with a sly smirk. Their faces dropped, "What?" they both asked.

He nodded, "I don't want-" "I don't think-" he raised his hand and shook his head. "I do not need your opinions about this. I have decided already." He said.

They stared at him in disbelief. "Well go on. Your tutoring will depend on you two I know how busy the both of you are." he said as he dismissed them.

Clay sighed and thanked the man before leaving. But Willa didn't, she stayed there. Staring at her big brother in complete shock. "You want to kill me." she said.

Dave sighed and shook his head, "You're not gonna die." He said. Willa scoffed, "Do you know how we are? We are not getting along." She started to list down the reasons why she shouldn't be tutoring the only boy she hated right now.

He listened but in all reality he had heard of this before. He looked at her when she stopped, "Are you finished?" he asked. She huffed and crossed her arms. She nodded and he sighed, he sent her a small smile, "Aside from being my sister, you are the best student I have." He said.

"But why me? Niki is there, George even!" she said. He shook his head, "He is a captain-" "And so is George." She cut him off. He sent her a look, "If other captains were gonna fall out of the title you would help them." He said.

Willa nodded, "But he's different." She groaned. "Why?" he asked. This made Willa stop. "Because you hate him? You despise him? You two were getting along until that happened." He said as he pointed to her hair.

She was about to argue but he cut her off, "And it was an accident." He said. She sighed and he smiled at her. He was there looking at her, not as her teacher but rather her big brother. It wasn't Sir Baker, it was Dave. "Mom and Dad didn't raise us to not help just because we don't like the person." He reminded her.

There he was. Dave always reminded her to always be good. That holding a grudge was bad and she knew that but Clay Thompson just knew how to push her buttons. So despite her brain yelling for her to not do it but she sighed. "Fine." Dave smiled successfully, "Good I think it will be good for the both of you." "Yeah right."
