12.

Failure.

"Vivian, I need to speak to you." Coach Orion called out. I walked out of the locker room and we went to his office, "What is this about Coach?" I asked taking a seat in the familiar chairs.

"You're failing a class." He bluntly stated rubbing his chin. "I know Coach, I've been trying to get it done. But with 4 practices a day, 2 games a week and homework everyday it's a little stressful." I explained.

"Yes I know, that's why Ive assigned you a tutor, bump that grade up by the next game and you'll be good." He replied. "So who's my tutor?" I questioned. "He should be here soon." He looked down at his watch.

The door then opened, "Sorry I'm late sir." Finn then walked down. "So who's my tutee?" He questioned still not noticing me. "You're familiar with Miss. Price." I then turned to face him. "Oh sick!" Finn smiled.

"I better see improvements." Orion then stood up, "You guys may leave." I got up and left the office, Finn following behind me. "So I guess I'm your tutor." He smirked. "I guess so, Id like to start right after I take a shower, double practices make you stink." I smiled.

"I'll meet you in the library, in 30 minutes." He spoke. "Mmm make that 45." He playfully rolled his eyes and we went our opposite ways. I entered my dorm and immediately grabbed some clothes then went into the bathroom.

I turned on the shower and immediately relaxed. Arrays of bruises placed over my body, the week has been rough. Apparently to the varsity I'm a traitor so they've been targeting me and using all their strength to hurt me.

I wasn't hurt, I was furious. They are just giving me more of a reason to choose the JV team full time. I finished taking my shower and quickly put on my clothes and blow dried my hair. "Hey Vivian where you heading?" Julie asked me.

"I have to get tutored because I'm failing a class." I explained putting my shoes in and grabbing a hoodie. "What class?" She questioned. "Biology." I finished tying my shoes and quickly put the hoodie on. "Hey can you grab my bag?" I asked pointing to the bag by my bed.

She picked it up and handed it me, "When will you be back?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Whenever I finished 10 pages of homework." I replied opening the door and throwing my bag over my shoulder.

"See you later." She waved and then I shut the door. I made my way to the library, I had only been in their once and that was to get away from people. I walked in and found the table Finn was at.

"Hey." I spoke dropping my bag onto one of the seats. "Hey." Nick replied before pulling out his biology text book. I grabbed out my Biology binder, a pencil, and my text book. We then began working on it.

An hour later I had finished all 10 papers. "Finally." I quietly complained. "You gotta turn those in like as soon as possible." He stated. "Do you think he's still in his classroom?" I questioned. "Yeah I usually turn in my late work right now." I nodded my head and shoved everything in my bag besides the papers.

I grabbed the papers and began rushing to the biology room. I finally made it and he was sitting at his desk. "Ah Miss. Price, what can I do for you?" He asked looking over at me while I was standing in the door way.

"I finished my missing assignments." He looked over at my hand that was carrying the 10 papers. "Bring them here." He replied. I walked in and put them on the desk. "Thank you for finally turning them in." He chuckled.

"Yeah I've just been busy, usually Im right on top with my work." I replied giving him a smile. "I'll have these graded and handed back by next Monday, for now you enjoy your weekend." He returned the smile.

"Thank you Mr.Shapiro!" I then walked out of his classroom and exited the school. I entered my dorm shortly after, Julie, Kenny, and Luis already in their. I dropped my back pack onto the floor and fell on top of my bed.
