Grades (Chap 1)

I brush a curl from my face as I lean back in my chair, trying to cool down from the warm breeze. I glance at Milly and see that she's too busy shopping online to pay attention to our professor.

"When does class end?"

"In ten minutes,"

I rolled my eyes and huffed, looking at her soft chestnut hair and green eyes.

Milly and I met at the beginning of term when we were both running late to our class and we bonded after getting shouted at for being late.

It was quite funny at the time and now we've been friends since, although I sometimes don't even realise how we are even friends.

She's into going to parties and I'm into staying at home, sleeping. It's a wonder how she even gets the energy to party with all of the work pilling up.

"Class, I'll be handing out your recent essays and you'll receive your grades. And remember just because this was a practice test doesn't mean you can slack off," our professor said.

We all waited for our grades as I felt my face flush with the heat of the day. Some idiot had decided to close the windows so now we were all sitting in sweat.

I got my test paper back and my eyes go wide.

"Shit...."

"What?"

Milly inched over and peered over my shoulder looking at my test score.

"It's not that bad. You at least passed,"

"By one mark,"

She pats me on the back and sighed, looking down at her own paper once it arrives.

"What did you get..?"

"A few marks above you,"

I shook my head and scowl at my paper as if I could change the big red numbers. This was so stupid, I literally revised that day before and normally I do ok.

"We really need to get tutors,"

"You need to get a tutor, Max has started to tutor me,"

Max is Millys boyfriend. They're actually pretty sweet together apart from the fact that I'm the third wheel and is forced to join them like their adoptive child.

I would appreciate him more if I wasn't a lonely trying and cheer myself up while he goes off and showers Milly in love.

Gross.....I'm actually jealous, it's so unfair that I've been single for like..my whole life!!

"I heard that Dexter is being forced to tutor. He got into a fight with the opposing team. He's being forced to tutor now to stay on the team and prove that he's good at sportsmanship,"

Dexter Grayson, the one and only infamous playboy.

He gets through girls like they're skittles, working his way around no matter who they are.

His grey eyes and charming smile is what makes everyone lose it, whenever he gets in trouble he just flashes his dimples and he's off the hook.

He's built with strong muscles and as many of the girls claim, he's really good in bed.

Pathetic. There are like hundreds of other guys in the world and these girls are of course going for the troublemaker one.

He's a jackass, especially towards teachers and while he's playing ice hockey. He's always smirking and making stupid jokes as well as getting into fights and it just pisses me off for some reason.

"Hellooo, earth to Amaya,"

I look at Milly and rose an eyebrow

"Like hell I'm asking him. Also, I'm pretty sure that tones of girls are already lined up for him,"

She playfully nudges me and shrugs.

"You might as well be another skittle that he munches on. He's getting through everyone at this rate," she gives me a cheeky smile.

I glared at her silly joke.

"Unlike others I've actually got standards. And he's probably riddled with STIs,"

Milly laughs and adjusts her flowery dress.

"I'll be on the lookout for tutors for you, unless you wanna join me and Max?"

"No thanks, I don't wanna be waiting downstairs hearing all your learning,"

She grins at my double meaning joke and puts on more lip-gloss, offering it to me.

"I'm just saying, it can't hurt to try. Oh that reminds me. There's a new ice cream shop opening, so let's go try it out,"

"Fine, I have nothing else to do anyway apart from sulk,"

(Sorry for the short chapters. I promise they're gonna start to get longer the more you progress though 🫶🎀💋)
