On Thin Ice Book Two of: On The Ice

Ch. 2 The Math Class

RING RING RING

I never want to smash an alarm clock more than I did right now. I looked over to the time, 7:20 am. Why did I set it so early? I asked myself, I rolled out of the warmth that was my bed. I walked to the bathroom to see the mess in the mirror that was myself, my hair was crazy, or as my mother would refer to it as a rats nest. Usually I pulled my hair into a low ponytail or a braid, but I was feeling a little bit lazy or bold (most likely lazy.) today for some reason, I left it down, I pulled on a random pair of jeans.

"Oh shit!" I yelled when I looked at my watch, 8:20 am. I was going to be late if I didn't hurry up. I quickly grabbed my jacket and tugged on my shoes. As I ran down the stairs to the classroom. When I arrived the halls were empty.

"You've got to be kidding me." I whispered to myself. Ms. Cami was going to be pissed, I shyly walked into the classroom all the eyes of my team went to me.

"You're late Alessandra, have anything to say for yourself?" Questioned Ms. Cami who was still writing on the chalk board, I hated teachers like this, I looked and saw the only empty seat was right beside Luke Bedard, his chocolate eyes following my every move. Then I found Jase, sitting in front of the only empty seat, he was smirking like a maniac, I was honestly concerned for the poor fella, his face muscles will be hurting like a bitch if he keeps smiling every time we make eye contact.

"Nope, continue on." I said waving my hand, I honestly thought I was going to get in so much trouble for saying that. But somehow I didn't, I took the seat beside Luke Bedard.

"Princess, you should be on time by now." Laughed Jase, it took everything in me not to slap him in the face right now.

"Shut you're trap Anderson." I muttered, Jase turned back around. We were learning math today for class, math was my worse subject, but yet I still somehow had an great mark in math, maybe because I cheated off Honey for most of the homework and tests.

"Since Alessandra had interrupted the class maybe she knows the answer?" Asked Ms. Cami, I had no idea at all, I wasn't even playing any attention to Ms. Cami since I've walked in, I didn't even know what we were learning in this class, if only Honey were here.

"Uh, no. Sorry," I apologized. Ms. Cami looked annoyed, but I really didn't really know the answer, I mean can you blame a girl?

"Luke, can you answer the question on the board?" Asked Ms. Cami, Luke took one look at it.

"37." He quickly said, what a smarty pants, he laid back into his chair, like he had done so much work. "37," I whispered to myself in a mocking tone.

"Good job Luke." Ms. Cami smiled, I rolled my eyes, Luke took a cheeky glance over to me, to which I responded with the roll of my eyes.

Was I worrying about this Luke Bedard guy? Absolutely, he was all over Alessandra at practice and here. That wasn't okay with me, she's mine, not his, not any other boys girl, mine. Well I'm sure she would definitely disagree, since she hates me right now.

"Good job Luke." Ms. Cami smiled, I couldn't deny it anymore, I was jealous, I couldn't help it, I'm supposed to be the player, not to call you back, Mr. Cool guy. But god this girl Alessandra Russo had a chokehold on me, and she knew it.

***

Finally the class had finally ended. I grabbed my jacket, I was the last one out, before someone called my name.

"Alessandra, we need to talk." Ms. Cami said, I turned around, fear rushed through me. "Yes?" I quietly asked no louder then a mouse.

"Well I checked you're records, and I'm thinking of giving you a tutor." Ms. Cami suggested, I wanted to deny, and explain how wrong she was, I didn't need a tutor, I just needed to study more, but I knew this wasn't the place to argue.

"When will I meet this said tutor?" I asked, I was hoping it would be stranger, so they don't judge me, and I most likely never see them again.

"Luke Bedard." Ms. Cami suggested, WHAT? Luke Bedard? Is this woman out of her mind? I asked myself.

"Luke Bedard? Out of all the people here?" I asked her, she replied with a nod of her head, that dude is going to make fun of me, if I'm being honest, I wasn't insecure about myself, till it came to my education. You see I didn't like people to see how kind of... well dumb I am.

"You will meet him at 4:50 pm on the dot." What is up with this chick and not being late to anything? I walked out of the classroom I was done with this place, and I hadn't even been here for two days.

"Fancy meeting you here princess." Whispered in my ear, Jase Anderson. What a total stalker, I thought to myself, this guy was just following me around all over the place.

"Leave me alone Anderson." I spoke coldly, I wanted nothing to do with him. Especially not now. I still couldn't understand why Jase did me dirty like that, he was the first boy who I really liked, then he just threw it all away.

"What's the problem princess?" He asked softly, almost as if he asked I would be willing to forgive him, which wasn't going to happen.

"You, you are my problem Jase." I rolled my eyes at him, he kept looking at me. "And stop calling me princess, for the love of god."

"I hope to see you later." He smirked, that stupid, perfect, annoying, smirk. The smirk he always did when he skated past me on the ice, one that gave me butterflies in my stomach, weather I liked it or not.

"We'll see." I sarcastically said, I wanted to turn around and kick him in the groin and run away, but I decided that wouldn't be the best of decisions. I walked to my room that was all to myself (thank the lord), when I finally reach my room, I looked at my watch and realized the time. 4:15 pm, oh shit. You'd think I'd actually be on time for something important, but no, I am terrible at time managing.

***

Suddenly I heard knocking on my door, I got up and walked to the door to answer. When I opened it I saw Alessandra Russo, the new girl on Team Canada.

"Can I help you?" I asked, Alessandra was breathing heavily, did she run all the way here?. The girl was tall, tan skin, dark hair that fell perfectly around her face, and dark brown eyes any man would get lost in.

***

"Can I help you?" Asked Luke Bedard, I was breathing heavily, trying to find an answer to his question, the tall boy stared at me, his chocolate eyes not looking away for a second.

"Yeah, um Mrs. Cami said you would help me... or well tutor me for math." I answered, he looked a bit confused, but rolled with it, he invited me inside.

"So what are you struggling with?" He asked, that was the hard part, most of the time I just cheated on my work and tests, not something I'm proud of.

"Literally everything." I answered as honesty as I could, he stared at me wondering if I was joking or not, I just hoped he would be willing to help me, I wouldn't mind seeing those chocolate eyes more.

"Oh... well this is going to take a long time." He replied after a few seconds, not the answer I was expecting. Sitting here I couldn't stop thinking about Jase, I knew if Honey was here, she would bitch slap me till I had some common sense.

"Let's get to work then." I said with a smile, suddenly Luke revealed a cheeky grin.
