"Shoot." Ashley muttered as she looked down at her paper.

"I failed again."


She looked out of the window and sighed.


I'll never get into college at this point.

"Hey Ash! How'd you do on the math test?"


Ashley sighed and turned to see her friend, Molly, skip down the locker room hall to meet her.


"I failed again." she grunted as she stuffed her books into the locker, then plopped down on the bench.

"Girly you need help. Why don't you take tutoring?"

"And get stuck with some boring teacher all year?"

"It's either that or you repeat 12th grade."


Ashley  groaned and looked down.


"Nah. Maybe you can help me?"

"I donno." Molly said as she turned to face the locker door.

"I barely pass my math tests myself."


Ashley let out a loud sigh then Molly suddenly snapped her fingers.


"I know! One of my brothers, Austin!"

"Hm? Austin? The boy you keep talking about but never let me meet?"

"Yeah!"

"What makes you think he'd wanna help me?"

"I'll leave that  unspoken." Molly winked.

"Anyways, I'll ask if he'll tutor you."

"Hey! Wait! I didn't agree to this!!"


But Molly had already dashed away.

Ugh.

Why did I agree to this?

If Molly can barely pass her tests,

What makes her think her brother is any better?

"So this is the beauty I was supposed to tutor?"

EH?!

///////////////////////////


Ashley looked up again and saw a brown haired, green eyed boy, in a t-shirt grinning down at her.


S-so much for some old, boring teacher...

///////////////

But there's no way this dude is single.

/////////////////////////

Why am I acting like this?!

Calm down, Ashley.


"A-are you Austin?"

"Yep!

"That means you must be Ashley, right?"


He lifted her chin and Ashley found herself turning red from ear to ear.


"Heh, Molly sure knows my type."

"Excuse you?"


Ashley suddenly pulled away.


"I thought you were my tutor, not my boyfriend."

"You're right, I'm sorry.

"It's just that, I like to make my students feel comfortable."


He looked at Ashley and gave her a lopsided smile, while her face lit up with embarrassment.


"I'm sorry, should I stop?"


Ashley turned her head away, but kept glancing at Austin every second.


He seem so vulenrable.

And I'm sure he means no harm.

And...

It sort of...










Feels nice.....


"N-no, I'm fine."

"Alright.

"Please, cutie, come in."


Cutie?

I got a bad idea about this...

"And that's how you solve for x."

"Wow Austin! You are really brilliant!"

"Yep I know, it runs in the family."


Austin stood up and lifted his chin high, and Ashley couldn't help but laugh.


"You are something else!"

"I know.

"That's why I have all the girls over me."


Saying that, Austin helped Ashley up and lifted her chin.
