The Study Session

                        ~Jaden's POV~
I waited for the girl to arrive. I've got to admit, I'm a little nervous. Mr Blake did warn me about her. I wish he told me her actual name instead of referring to her as "Ms Sanchez" now how am I going to greet her?
I hope this goes well.

I decided to pass the time by finishing up some of my own homework.

10 minutes passed:
The girl walked up to the table, and caught me by surprise.
"Oh u-um hi, I'm Ja-"
"Let's just skip the introductions and get to the session. Shall we?"
Shit.

"Oh u-um Yea. Let's begin"

She takes out her homework and sets it on the table.

"Okay before we start with that, let's start off with a couple of problems to get a grasp on what you're capable of" I said reassuringly trying to make her comfortable.
"What I'm capable of?" She said chuckling a little
I shot her a serious look.
She stopped chuckling and sighed
"Fine" she rolled her eyes.

I gave her a problem and she instantly answered with the right answer. I gave her harder and harder questions and she flew through them.

I looked at her with a surprised expression.
"Don't look too surprised" she joked.

"Sorry, it's just..It doesn't seem like you need a tutor"

"I don't. Mr. Blake made me." She replied with an annoyed tone
"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Well because I-.... Let's just stick with algebra so we can get this session over with" she urged.
I looked at her, trying to read her expression.

She glanced back at me and rolled her eyes.
" okay you've got to stop doing that"

"Oh u-um doing what?" I said gathering my papers.

"Staring at me like I have a huge pimple on my face or something"
I chuckled at her comment
"Sorry you're just really..."
"Really what?" She raised an eyebrow.
"N-nothing"
"No, tell me" she urged.
I sighed.. I can't believe I'm saying this
"Really.. Attractive"
She leaned back a little with a surprised expression.
"Attractive huh? Not sexy, or hot?
I chuckled and refrained from saying anything else.
She pauses for a minute then flashed a smile.

"Well thanks"
"Now I'm going to ask you a question" she added.

"Okay"
"Why are you so quiet?" She asked looking at me with wide eyes.

"W-what?"

"D-did I stutter?" She said mocking me.

I fell quiet, not knowing how to respond.
She eyed me for a minute - then smirked.
I remained silent.
"C'mon. School can't be all there is to you. Have you ever even been to a party? Had alcohol? Anything?"
"Let's get back to studying, okay?" Her curiosity was very invasive.
She sighed.
"I knew it. I don't even know why I asked.. you're just one of those innocent school nerds right?"
My jaw clenched. She was very good at getting under my skin. Before I knew it I was blurting out words.
"Well at least I have my life together. It must be tiring going wherever the road takes you, floating carelessly through life, not caring what happens to you.  You can judge me all you want but you know you have flaws too. You and me both know you're not perfect"

I was overwhelmed that I blurted that out.  I took a huge gulp and looked at her.I... don't know where that came from. But I instantly regretted it. I looked at her and she had a blank expression on her face. I could tell she tried to show no emotion.
"And there it is" she said. "Hmm you don't stutter when you speak your mind... Interesting"
