Matilda Bridge

"Detention!" The maths teacher said as he turned his direction back to the board.

What was that? He didn't even let me explain, well not that I had a very good excuse.

"Now go find your seat" he said without turning to face me.

I was going to anyways

No one even paid attention to me not like I needed it .
Okay we have to find a seat now.
I turned to my left "seat taken"
To my right "seat taken"
" seat taken"
" seat taken"
"Seat taken"
Why are there so many seats taken?
" seat-"
"Can you just please stop saying 'seat taken'?" Some guy said making me turne to see a boy in black hoodie laying his head on the desk.

Wow I didn't know we still had boys like this

I sighed as I saw an extra seat near him. I decided to play nice.
"Oh hey there, I'm Bridge- I mean Matilda" I extended my hand for him to shake but he ignored, well he didn't see it..yet.

But what he said after wards took me by surprise

" I don't give a fuck about your name. I just need you to shut the hell up. Okay?" He then raised his head up to face me and boy was he beautiful.

He had black hair and blue eyes not just any blue but ocean blue eyes. His lips were so red that I thought he had lipstick on

Or maybe he had

I reached my hand to touch it but I got a slap in return.

" Oh sorry you had uh..something on your face" I chuckled nervously.

He just stared at me.

"Anyways...is this seat taken?" I offered him my best smile.
No one had ever seen this smile.
He must be honored.

He didn't say anything and kept on staring and I realised he had freckles Oh my goodness, so cute

He finally spoke" yes it is" he put his bag on it

"Well that's too bad" I kicked his bag away and sat, as he was about to protest, our so called teacher called both of us out .

" Well would you guys like to help us with this equation?" He frown. He looked cute that way and really young

Wait how old can he be ?

25? 23?

"Matilda why don't you go first?" He smiled

I looked at the board and my eyes immediately widened.
I had never seen anything this complicated in my 17 years on earth. "I'm waiting"

Now everyone's attention was on me
I looked at the boy next to me and said" this is all your fault"
He didn't seem affected by my words. I walked forward and stared at the board in anger.
How can this happen to me on my first day.
I did whatever I could do and gave him back the marker. He looked at the board and looked back at me.
"You got the answer...wrong!" He rubbed it off and immediately the class roared in laughter. I turned back to give them the middle finger and went back to my seat.
Meanwhile black hoodie seemed to be confident. So he went to the board and did whatever he did there

"Correct"

How?..how is that possible? that's like basically what I did
Okay maybe not exactly

He dropped the marker and walked towards me. He whispered "next time do not try to start a conversation with me. Okay?" His hot breath gave me shivers. He seemed really scary how he said that. But either way I made sure he didn't see that I was affected by what he said. The bell rang after and I was so excited to leave the class room.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night sweetheart" with that I left with my things. Well until he called me back.

"Ms Bridge?" The maths Teacher called me. I turned back and headed to his table, while black hoodie left.

"How old are you?" He asked unexpectedly.

"Why are you asking me that?" I sat on his desk.

"Who gave you the right to seat on my desk?!" He hit the desk making me flinch.

Okay possessive much

I adjusted myself and stood in front of him. "Now how old are you?  He asked again

"Well you have my school record why don't you check?" I smiled.
Which made him chuckle

Okay?
"Why don't you get a tutor?" He changed the topic since I wasn't helping the situation.
"No!" I said.
"You don't have a choice" he reached into his drawer and gave me a paper
"He will start tutorials tomorrow"
What? Who?
I opened it and read out" 6:00 to 8:30?"

"Who's this? And why? Do my parents know about this?"

" That's Erik Montgomery. He will be tutoring you from now on even if he doesn't know yet" he whispered the last part.
"Okay and what will happen if I don't comply?" I dropped the paper on his desk.
" Well your grades will drop and you won't get into Yale"

How did he know I wanted to get into Yale?

"How did you know that?"
"Well like you said, I have your record here" he smiled
"Okay if you answer my question I'd do it" I smiled widely.
"Ask away"
" okay how old are you?" I chuckled lowly.
He seemed taken aback for a moment but gets himself back.
" if I answer you'd do it?" He asked again as if making sure I'm not kidding.
" okay I'm 30"
" no you're not " and with that I left for my other class that I didn't know yet. I checked my timetable,"ugh..I have history next. I'm definitely falling asleep". I walked through the hallway, looking for someone who was also going to history class.
