The Tutor

Saturday. The day I would start tutoring. Mr. Millian already sent me the list of boys I would be tutoring through my email so I decided to check it as I pulled my laptop in my lap.

"Let's see." I said as I picked up my cup of coffee and took a sip.

"First one is Asch, he's on the basketball team." Not that I know anyone on the basketball team. "Second one is Noi, also on the basketball team." I took another sip of my coffee as I continued to scroll.
"Third is Leif, basketball team."
"Last is Pierce, basketball team."

A sigh left my lips as I shook my head. How could they all be failing the same subject? It was beyond me. From what the email says, if they don't pass english then they can't play for the restop of the year. "Figures since that's how sports go in high school." A sigh left my lips as I looked at the time. My tutoring sessions would start from 2pm to 4pm which is enough time to me. It was currently 12pm and I had an hour and a half to burn until then which was enough time for me to make lessons on the things we were learning in English class. Since it's not all English, it was also History as well and our lessons were on greek mythology which I loved. Mainly since I was named after a goddess.

"Well let me get to work." I said before my door opening to my older brother drying his hair. "You got a hair tie?"

"Yeah look in my hair stuff Apollo." Yeah my parents are into naming their kids after greek gods. "You heard from mom yet?" I was typing on my computer before I picked up my phone. "Not yet, she still might be on her mission." Our mother was an undercover assassin. She always took the worst jobs to catch the worst criminals in the world for their bounties.

"I figured, dad has to go to the Embassy to check with his men before he leaves with the President again."

"So we're in the house by ourselves."

"Looks like it Seph." He sighed before sitting on my bed and looking over at my screen. "Homework?"

"No Im tutoring." I said with a sigh and he chuckled.

"Tutoring? You?" He replied and I raised my eyebrows.

"Yeah surprisingly."

I ran my fingers through my light pink locks before placing my hand on my cheek.

"Woah is it the end of the world? Persephone tutoring? Omg."

I rolled my eyes with a slight laugh as my other older brother walked in. "Shut up Poseidon." He laughed before walking away. "I'll leave you to it." Apollo said before leaving my room.

I took another sip of my coffee before continuing to work on my laptop. I was conflicted on how these boys were going to act when it came to tutoring. Maybe they would act like they wouldn't care and not do the work or actually do it so they can keep playing basketball. Either way it didn't matter to me seeing I'm still getting credit for it even if they do or don't do it.

After getting my lessons ready it was now 12:45 and it would take me 20 minutes to get to the meeting point so I decided to start getting dressed. Putting a simple black top on and a white skirt with white leg warms and some sneakers. I grabbed my laptop and but it in my tote bag before grabbing a note book and some pens along with my chargers and my headphone. I slipped my headphones on my ears, trying not to mess up my hair before grabbing my leather jacket and my phone.

"Poseidon, Apollo, I'm leaving!" I said as I walked down the steps and they both gave me an ok. I picked my house keys up from the container we keep them in and I walked out my house, locking the doors. I like being on time for things even if it was something I didn't want to do.

"I hope this goes well." The bus stopped in front of me and I tapped the back of my phone to pay my bus fare before finding a seat. I just stared out the window until I got to my stop.

Today seemed more peaceful than yesterday considering all that happened. It was damp outside due to the rain from yesterday so all the cars were splashing through puddles. A smile formed on my face but it went away as I thought back to yesterday. The group of boys from before. The blonde one was nice enough to help me clean my nose up, I should repay him really. Maybe bake him some cookies? I don't know just something nice.

Instead of being wrapped in my thoughts I pulled the blue line for my stop to get off the bus until my phone rang.

"Hello this is Persephone." I said as I got off the bus and walked to the cafe. The person on the other line was my aunt who happened to be on the same mission as my mom and she was telling me that their mission was almost completed. Which took some pressure off of my heart but it felt good to hear.

"Thanks auntie, I'll see you guys when you get back." I said before hanging up. The cafe where I would be meeting these boys was huge. It was a four story cafe and it had a study place for students to come and do work on the fourth floor which is very considerate since it is near our school.

"Hi, how can I help you?" A female voice greeted me as I walked into the cafe. A smile formed on my lips as I adjusted my bag on my shoulders. "Hi I reserved a table for five under Persephone."

"Oh yes, the other guest has arrived for that table, please follow me."

I'm surprised. They're here before me? That's a good start. Maybe they actually want the tutoring.

As we walked towards the elevator I looked around the marvelous building seeing how lively it was and all the plants. It was the perfect comfort place for me. Once we got into the elevator the women pressed the button for the 4th floor as the elevator went up. "I hope your session goes very well. The gentleman at your table are very attractive."

I gave a soft smile with a light chuckle. "Yeah I hope so too." I felt kinda nervous but more awkward then nervous once the elevator door opened. "Your table is to the far back, you won't be disturbed by the other guess so please enjoy your time." The elevator door closed behind me and a sigh left my lips as I slowly started walking towards the back of the cafe.

"Ok Persephone, a 2 hour tutor session isn't going to complete kill you." I said before closing my eyes as I almost reached my destination. I wanted nothing more than to just turn around and walk away but I couldn't. I don't know why I couldn't as I stopped in my tracks. I took a deep breath before exhaling and walking towards my table and what I saw shook my core.

"Oh it's you!"
