4 days later...

A few days have passed ever since Jessie transferred, and things have been smooth sailing from here. Syrra, Jessie and I have joined together, having fun in school. Of course, I also helped them out whenever they found a lesson difficult. Jessie also took remedial lessons every after class to catch up with us. It hasn't been long since classes started anyway.

But today is Saturday, and I got ready for...


"Tutoring?!"


Vance and Cherry were surprised to see me wearing formal clothes and a backpack, ready to tutor someone.

"It's something I wanted to try out. I have been excelling in my academics, so I have no reason to decline this one." I stood there smiling with confidence with one hand holding my back pack and the other in my pocket. Never in my life have I got ready to tutor, this is the first time this happened to me.

Now you might ask me: "I need further context! What made you accept this?!"

Well... It all started yesterday...

Yesterday

Our last class has officially ended, and I'm now ready to head home.

"Oh, Renn? I need to tell you something..." Syrra tugged my shirt, as if she was going to tell me something important.

"Fire away." I looked at her and was curious what this is all about.

"So, my mom was thinking of looking for a tutor to help me catch up to the next topics. My mom noticed that I was struggling, but can't seem to find a tutor..." Oh, they're looking for tutors? This caught me off-guard. I thought there'd be reliable tutors in the area...

"So you're looking for a decent tutor, and you're telling me to help you find a tutor because your family is struggling?" I basically stated the short version of what she needs.

"Damn, you're good. Yeah... We need a tutor soon... My older sister wanted to go and look but I think she won't have the time..." Poor sister. I felt bad for having them look. I sighed.

"Tell her she doesn't need to look anymore. I know a good tutor." I confidently answered with my hand in my pocket.

"WAIT, REALLY?! WHO?!" She rejoiced, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me, full of energy.

As she asked the question, I went silent. Just smiling in front of her.

"Who?" Her happiness is slowly reducing. Should take a few seconds...

3... 2... 1...

And it snapped in her brain, and her happy face turned into a face of disbelief.

"YOU'RE NOT SUGGESTING..." Syrra, why look for a tutor when you got me?

"Yes." I said with a grin. She whined and pouted.

"You're really becoming too generous, Mr. Alrose... I really can't keep up how many times you've been helping me over the years! But... Thank you... I'll see you tomorrow at 8 am?" She agreed to it with a thumbs up.
