I stood in front of Vi's front door and gave it a gentle knock. Caitlyn said that she knew the perfect person to tutor me, never would I have guessed that it would be Vi's little sister. I didn't even know she had a sister. I felt blindsided. As I waited, my eyes fixated on their doormat. It was your typical dark orange jute welcome mat. In the middle of it was a giant cursive 'Welcome Home' in black font. Super cheesy. I feel like everyone with a Costco membership owned this exact welcome mat. Based on looks alone, their house looked like your ideal cookie cutter home, from the ceramic garden gnomes chillin' on their vibrant green, freshly cut lawn to the two black Audi's parked side by side on their long stretched driveway. Oh yeah, they were definitely well off. I wonder what their profession was.

A few moments passed, my eyes tracing each letter on the mat when I heard loud footsteps approach the door. I looked up to see a distorted silhouette behind the door's privacy filmed window. The large white door opened and a familiar pink hair girl poked her head out.

"Hey, Y/N." She exclaimed coolly, opening the door wider for me to step in. I smiled back and readjusted my backpack strap on my shoulder. If anyone else tried to pick up my bag, they'd probably instantly fall to the floor. I had a good 60 pounds in my bag, from books to random miscellaneous college related junk, it was enough to take a grown man out if you used it as a weapon.

"Thank you for having me. I really appreciate it." I said shyly, gripping my bag strap a bit tighter. This thing felt heavier by the second.

"Oh, don't thank me. Jinx was the one that agreed. I'm more street smart, my sister stole all the book smarts." She laughed, shutting and locking the door behind us. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I can read a book, but this is more my style." Vi flexed her biceps, proving her point.

The girl was absolutely ripped. I knew Vi was in shape, I just didn't know how much though. Every time we hung out as a trio, Vi typically wore hoodies and baggy pants. I could never depict her body type, but now, I was able to view the full picture. Vi was wearing a black sports bra with a white trim and tight black workout pants, hugging her thighs tremendously. Respectfully, Caitlyn was one lucky girl.

"Damn dude! You've been putting in the work! How's police life treating you?" I questioned, pulling my wandering eyes away from her beautiful figure and kicked off my shoes, neatly placing them onto the metal shoe rack.

"It's great so far. All of my coworkers are super chill." Vi said as she led us down the hallway towards what I presumed to be the living room. "Jinx should be down soon. She's finishing up some project in her room. Not to leave you here by your lonesome, I gotta get ready. Caitlyn is coming by for a little date night and I need to hit the showers. I stink." She flashed me an apologetic grin. I playfully rolled my eyes at her before Vi took off down the hall and around the corner. Vi was such a sweet person. She was absolutely perfect for Caitlyn too. Caitlyn didn't have time for someone who was passive about their life, she wanted excitement, someone to keep up with her and Vi was just that person. Vi was a great friend to me as well. The moment Caitlyn introduced us, we instantly hit it off and became close. Even if they broke up, I'd definitely still be friends with Vi.

I set my heavy load down by the white sofa and took a seat on their plush couch, my eyes darting around Vi's place. My interior design brain kicked in, instantly assessing the style as industrial. It was gorgeous . Everything was in such pristine condition, the couch, the floor, the carpet, even the fucking cat. They had a beautiful light pink hairless cat sleeping on a cat tree by the back door, the sunlight hitting it ever so slightly. That cat must be in heaven. The theme of the room was mainly black and white, minus the red brick wall that towered up to the second floor to a loft. A fucking loft. I was a sucker for high ceilings. Something about them made me feel homie and a tad bit posh if we're being honest. I would kill for a place like this.

Once I finished inspecting every inch of the interior, I unzipped my bag and pulled out my laptop. I sighed as I pressed the power button, my laptop making a high pitched whirring sound. With the amount I've used this thing, I'm surprised it was still kicking. Once it booted up, I pulled up a list of all the flunked assignments I had. We were only a few months in and there were about 70 assignments, 57 of those assignments I either failed or received a low score. Incredible. I didn't want to even think about Humpfuck's class right now. I wasn't even sure if Jinx could comprehend his gibberish, her being younger than us. I tried fighting back on Caitlyn's choice, but she was pretty confident about Jinx's ability. If I knew one thing, it was to always trust Caitlyn's judgment. That girl has gotten me out of trouble multiple times. If she was wrong, then that meant pigs could fly. She was never wrong. As I sat there deep in thought, staring at my computer screen and shaming myself for the file full of failures, I didn't even notice the figure standing in front of me.

"Hi." Jinx said quietly. Her sudden greeting startled me, causing me to launch my laptop in the air. I sat in awe, my heart racing from the unintentional spook as I watched my computer fall downwards. The blue haired girl swiftly snatched it before it hit the ground. "Sorry." She apologized, handing my unscathed computer back to me. I was shocked. What reflexes!

"I should be the one apologizing, I didn't see you there!" I placed my laptop on the couch and stood up, extending my hand in front of me. "I'm Y/N." I greeted, inhaling deeply to cool my heated cheeks down from embarrassment.

"I know." She said with a rather bored tone, lazily shaking my hand. "So, what are you struggling with?" She questioned, plopping down next to my laptop. I blinked a few times. Vi never mentioned that she was a bit brash. I quickly shook off the negative feelings I had and cleared my throat.

"Natural Sciences. Our teacher is living in the 1500s. It's hard to understand what this guy is saying half the time." I laughed nervously. Jinx seemed unamused. I cleared my throat again as I pulled up a random file for her to go over. I handed her my laptop and leaned my elbow on the couch's arm, putting more distance between us. I felt super awkward. I thought Vi was going to at least introduce us, she knew I was socially awkward. Apparently, so is Jinx. What a great duo!

We sat in silence for what felt like hours, in reality it was only a couple of minutes, but the stillness made it feel worse than it was. As she looked over my document, I could help but secretly study her appearance. I couldn't deny it, even if she was a brat, she was super cute. She had ridiculously long, silky, dark blue hair that was pulled into two perfect braids. When she was standing, the ends of her braids touched her ankles. It was impressive, the length of her hair, I couldn't handle my hair past my chest, let alone to my ankles. Her skin was pale, but it was flawless nonetheless. And, my favorite feature so far, she had tattoos. Baby blue clouds lined her right arm like a sleeve. I was a sucker for tattoos. And long hair. And women. I wondered if she likes girls too.

"Y/N?" Jinx questioned. I pulled my eyes from her tattoos and met her gaze. Damn. Even her eyes were a beautiful shade of ocean blue.

"Y-yes?" I stuttered, swallowing the lump in my throat.

"Let's go over this one, yeah?" She pointed to the laptop in between us.

She scooched closer to me, her bare shoulder barely touching mine. My body froze as if I was dropped in an ice bath. I tried to stay focused, as she explained the sheet but I was too busy getting lost in her eyes as she spoke. I couldn't help myself. I wasn't sure what she was talking about. At that moment, all I could think about was her. I wanted to drown in her waters.
