"Siya, have you ever thought about how you manage to stay so chill about the upcoming exams?" Siya asked Tanya, a little worried. "Oh, come on, Siya. Don't stress. We'll totally be fine like we always are," Tanya said with a confident smile.
"But, Tanya, I can't shake this worry about math. What should I do?" Siya admitted, her anxiety creeping in. "Have you thought about getting a tutor?" Tanya suggested. "I've considered it, but it feels so overwhelming," Siya confessed.
"Why's that?" Tanya asked. "Well, for one, I'd have to fit into the tutor's schedule, deal with criticism for messing up, and try to wrap my head around math concepts over and over," Siya explained, her frustration clear.
"Hey, I heard Abhimanyu's a math whiz," Tanya casually mentioned. "Really? Where'd you hear that?" Siya asked, intrigued.
"The girls in his class were talking about how he always gets top marks, especially in math. So, I kinda put two and two together and figured it was him," Tanya explained. "Come on, Tanya, don't start with that," Siya replied, brushing it off but still a bit curious.

"What should I do, Mumma?" Siya whined to Purvi about wanting math tutoring without the strictness. "Remember the other day when Aarti mentioned Abhimanyu's good at math but struggles with French?" Purvi said.
"So?" Siya prompted. "Well, why not ask Aarti if Abhimanyu could tutor you for math, and then you can help him with French?" Purvi suggested.
"And how long would that last?" Siya asked, knowing her habit of dodging commitments. "Until your exams are over, Siya," Purvi replied.

Siya swung her feet in the air as she texted Abhimanyu. "Hey, free to talk?" "Sure, what's up?"
"Just wanted to chat. Do you mind?" "Not at all, Siya. Shoot."
"Okay, so my mom was thinking about asking Aarti Auntie if you could tutor me for math, and I could help you with French." "Yeah, I heard about it. Thanks, Siya."
"Great! Are you cool with it? When and where do you want to study?" "How about after dinner? Any suggestions on where?" Abhimanyu replied.
"Night works for me. What about either of our bedrooms?" "Sounds good. See you tomorrow," Abhimanyu answered, keeping quiet about the possible distractions on his mind.
Siya sent the message and set her phone on the bedside table before snuggling into her quilt, ready to call it a night.

"Did you just say Abhimanyu is tutoring you, and in his room after dinner?" Tanya exclaimed, practically bouncing with excitement. "Yeah, why are you so hyped about it?" Siya replied, amused by her friend's enthusiasm.
