the difference between a tutoring session and a study date

the difference between a tutoring session and a study date

R I L E Y ;

I glanced nervously at the clock that was hanging over the door of my bedroom. 4:30. School had been over since more than one hour ago but all I could think about was going to Lucas's house to help him study for math. I decided to distract myself and pass time by texting Maya.

Riley: Maya! I have a problem.

Maya: Are you dead? Are you on fire? Is someone out to murder you?

Riley: Hmmm let me check... no, no, and no.

Maya: Then you most definitely do not have a problem. Now what do you need? I was in the middle of eating my mac and cheese.

Riley: nothing much is happening except I am going to tutor Lucas Friar and going to his house in like half an hour...

I got no immediate response this time but a phone call from Maya. I hit the accept button and put the phone up to my ear.

"So you're having a study date with Lucas Friar?!" Maya asks through the phone, her tone showing that she was way more thrilled than me.

"Tutoring session," I corrected her.

"Whatever, same thing." She replied, and I could imagine her rolling her eyes right now. "So what are you going to wear to your tutoring date?"

"I mean - I was thinking clothes..." I answered, "Preferably leggings and my NYU sweatshirt."

"Nope, no, nada." Maya answered with different variations of no's.

"What do you mean 'no'? I can't just show up to Lucas's house with no clothes on."

"Oh my god, Riley. Stay where you are. I'm going to come over right now."

"Wait! Maya!" The line went blank.

Five minutes later, Maya appeared inside my house. She didn't even have to knock on our front door. She had a key. Before you freak out, my parents trust her and stuff and they think of her as one of their own, plus our moms are great friends.

"We have 20 minutes to get you to look nice." Maya stated and starting going through my clothes.

"Do I have to?" I whined and she rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Study date with a hot guy who is on the football team and is super nice? I'm pretty sure it's the law to dress nice when you're in his presence." Maya stated and ushered me to wear clothes she picked out.

I steadily put on the plain white blouse Maya chose for me, regular skinny jeans and black converse.

I trudged back to Maya who was on her phone. "You look nice. Well nicer than usual. You're lucky I didn't make you wear a dress." She told me, once she got a good look of what I was wearing.

"You're making me try hard." I tell her and she shakes her head. "Nonsense, now c'mon you better get going to his mansion." Maya tells me and I nod.

I grab my bag and textbooks and we head down the stairs.

"Where are you two going?" My mother questions Maya and I, just as we were about to leave.

"Hey Mrs. Matthews, I was just goi g to drop off little Riley here at someone's house." Maya answers for the both of us. Glad she didn't state who's house I was going to.

"Why do you have you books?" My mom asks.

"I'm tutoring someone."

"Who is this someone?"

"No one in particular."

"Lucas Friar." Both of us answer the same time and I turn to glare at Maya. She smiles sheepishly and I glare even harder.

"You're going to a boys house?" I nod. "To tutor him?" Nod again. "A study date you mean?" I desperately shake my head and Maya busts out laughing.

"See Riles! Even your mom says it's a study date!" Maya busts out in laughter and my face turns red. Pretty soon, my own mother, Topanga (don't ask) Matthews was laughing along with my best friend because of my embarrassment.

"No! It's a tutoring session! I only chose to tutor him so I could get extra credit, so chill." I muttered and crossed my arms.

"Whatever floats your boat, dear."

I roll my eyes and go out the door. "Have fun at your study date!" My mother hollers. Mental facepalm.

"You guys really need to learn the difference between a tutoring session and a study date."
