It Started With Hello

Chap. 101

"Ok everyone I'll be passing you back your math tests alot of you did very well however..." Ms. Jenkins said while walking down the rows of seats. Placing the graded paper on everyone's decks Emma leans further back in her seat as Ms. Jenkins stopped beside her deck "Some need to practice alittle more" she placed the paper on Emma's deck a big 67 in a red circle marked at the top of the paper. Emma picks it up with a sigh before looking up at Ms. Jenkins giving her a nod she returns it with a smile before turning and walking back towards her deck. Emma sits her paper back down sighing into her hands. She was busy wondering how she going to pass this class? Heather looks over from the desk beside her "Better luck next time loser" she laughs flipping her brown hair over her shoulder. Emma rolls her eyes glaring at her she became a even bigger bitch since she became the new Queen B of the school. She didn't remember her being so awful when she was Reina's shadow. Honestly there was no time to worry about her she thought while looking down at her failure. Math was never easy for Emma and this year seemed alot harder then the previous years. She was just happy it was the end of the day at least she was able to go home now the bell rings loudly "Ok class your dismissed oh and Emma could you please wait a moment?" most of the students rush out while Emma drags her feet walking to the front desk. She played with her bag straps while Ms. Jenkins shakes her head "Emma I know you excel in all your other classes.It's still the beginning of the year but I suggest getting a tutor. At least for the time being until you can get the hang of it" Emma sighed looking down in shame she knew Ms. Jenkins was right. She needed to solve this now before her grades got so bad she couldn't fix it "Anyone specific in mind?" she asked looking at Ms. Jenkins curiously. They both stay silence a moment thinking over their opinions "I'm sorry to Interrupt but...I could help her" they both turn their heads to the person in the doorways. Emma's brow raised seeing Reina standing in the doorway bookbag on her back hair up in a top pony looking unsure "I'll help her" she repeats making Ms. Jenkins smile surprised to see her. She wasn't the only one how was shocked Emma was confused at why Reina would want to help her "Oh Reina yours grades have got significantly better this year something really changed in you I'm very proud but are you sure your willing to tutor Emma for a while?" Reina pressed her lips finally looking over at Emma. She wasn't wearing heavy make-up or her usual mini uniform Emma guessed losing her popularity knocked her down a few pegs. Reina looking back at Ms. Jenkins nodding "Yes I am, We can start immediately after school today. I know we have math homework I can help her with that for starters" Emma shakes her head quickly Interjecting looking between them. They look at her curiously "I can't after school I have violin practice" she said making Reina place her hands on her hips. It's not like she was trying to get out of this she really did have violin after school "Fine...how about I come over at 6?" Emma thinks it over a minute before noddin hesitantly. Looking between them smiling Ms. Jenkins claps her hands softly "Fabulous it looks like you got yourself a tutor Emma. You girls have a good rest of your day" she said before looking down at the papers  on her deck. Both the girls walk out the room in silence Reina speed walks around down the hall. Emma didn't know what to say she was kinda embarrassed about needing a tutor it made it worse that Reina was her tutor "Why are you helping me?" she whispered stood in the middle of the hall making Reina stops walking a few feet away. She turns looking over her shoulder at Emma "An eye for an eye" she said simply before turning back around walking out the school building. Emma continues watching the door before Blake comes up behind her wrapping around her shoulder "My class just let out, you ready to go?" pulling her eyes away from the door she looks up at him with a small smile "Yah...let's go".
