My Sort-Of Cinderella Story

Chapter 8

Spencer's POV

Shit.

I woke up hungover, again. You would think I would learn. One of my friends from the soccer team brought some booze over to the party and mixed it with the punch. I don't think I've ever drunken so much punch ever.

"Get the hell up dude, we have to study this weekend for finals next week. Remember?" Ryan says barging into the room.

"Yeah, just give me two minutes." I mumbled trying my hardest to get out of bed.

"Hey, Spencer, we're going to the library for that math session since we both know we suck at Pre-Cal."

I was actually pretty good at math, and school in general, but nobody could actually know I care about school.

"True man. I'll meet you in the car in a minute okay?" I said trying to ignore the huge pounding in my head. I went downstairs and took some Advil and drank some coffee. This math session better be worth it.

Max's POV

"Josh, I'm going to the library to give some math lessons for extra credit, are you gonna be okay alone?" I ask my little brother who came home a while ago.

"Yeah. Are you gonna be home before dinner?" he asks from the family room.

"I'm pretty sure. We can order Chinese when I come back. Cool?" I ask picking up my keys from the table.

"Definitely! Bye Max!"

I headed out the door and got into my Jeep. I checked my phone, 2 o'clock. The math lesson started at 2:30, and I was thinking of stopping by Starbucks to get a coffee when my phone went off.

"Hey Alex, what's up"

"I was wondering if you were going to the math lesson today, because Hannah isn't going."

"Yeah, but I'm gonna be helping out. Ms.Alessandri offered me extra credit."

"Oh thank the lord heavens because I hear lots of people are going and I don't want to take on those preps alone."

"Okay, see you later." I say turning into the parking lot of Starbucks.

"Bye."

I order a grande iced coffee since it was a little warm outside and a muffin. When I got to the library, I noticed that there were barely any parking spots.

"There's no way that there are this many people that hate Pre-Cal." I mumble to myself.

I finally find a parking spot and make my way to the area where there are tables and computers to spare. Alex sees me from across the room and motions me to come sit by her. Immediately, I start helping her with the super easy problem.

After helping her for a while, I notice that more people have come to sit at our table, and are paying attention to everything I say.

Although, there was one thing I never did expect. Ryan Adams and Spencer Matthews come and sit at our table. I almost completely stop and choke on my words.

After a while, people started to pack up their things and Alex and I stayed for a while longer. After I finished explaining to Alex a Polar Coordinates problem I looked to see that the only people left at our table were Ryan and Spencer.

I looked up at them and Spencer and I locked eyes, but I instantly looked away.

"I have no idea." I hear Spencer say.

"Hey, do you girls have any idea how to do this problem?" Ryan says looking over at us.

"I can't, but she probably can." Alex said pointing to me.
