I looked down at my clothes,
drenched in kool-aid and grease stains.

I scowled and made my way over to my locker. I proceeded to unlock the locker when I felt a slight tap on my shoulder

I turned around to see no other than Mr.Farjarkonwik

"Alex, we need to talk" he said

"What about?" I asked

"Please meet me in my classroom as soon as the bell rings" he said

"But I have to get home I--"

"It's important" he said while crossing his arms

"Fine."

I stuffed my leather jacket inside my locker and made my way to my death sentence

"Ms.Riley, please take a seat" he said

"Am I in trouble or something?" I asked

"Ms.Riley--"

"Please call me Alex, I'm 17 not 35" I said with a chuckle

"Alex, I asked you to meet me here today because I fear that you have a possibility of failing my class this semester" he said

"Okay...I kind of already knew that" I said crossing my arms

"You did?" He asked, sitting up from his seat

I nodded

"Well, please tell me, what do you plan on doing about that?" He asked

"Nothing" I said

"Nothing?!"

I nodded

"Listen dude, I've had a terrible day. Can I just go home? I don't have time for this" I said

"I'll tell you what," he said

"I'm going to help you"

"I don't want your help" I said

"You may not want it, but you need it" he said

I shrugged

"Here's what I'm going to do," he said, pulling out a bright yellow sticky note

"I want you, to find this guy. He's probably in the tutor center right now, tell him that Mr.Farjarkonwik sent you" he said as he handed me the note

"Lucas Ryan?" I said raising an eyebrow

Farjarkonwik nodded

"Whatever.." I said

"See you tomorrow Ms.Riley" he said

"Alex." I mumbled

I left the classroom and headed upstairs to the media center

once I got there, I walked in and my eyes went wide

The media center was filled with people

"Great" I mumbled

How was I supposed to find him now?!

I scoffed and turn around

"It's just going to be a waste of time" I mumbled

"Excuse me" a woman spoke up

I raised an eyebrow and looked up at the woman

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help but notice the look of confusion on your face, can I help you with something?" She asked

I nodded

"I'm looking for some guy who goes by the name of Lucas Ryan.." I said

"Lucas Ryan?" She asked

I nodded

"Well you're in luck, he should be in the back room by the fiction novels restocking the shelves" she said

"Oh...thank you" I said as I walked towards the back of the library

I found the fiction isle, as well as a tall blonde boy restocking the shelf nearby

"Lucas?" I asked

he looked up and made eye contact with me

"Can I help you with something?" He asked

"Well, uh...Farjarkonwik sent me down" I said handing him the note

"Okay, well what did he send you for?" He asked

"To tell you that I was failing his class or something? Honestly I don't know. I'm sorry for wasting your time" I said as I turned around to walk away

"No, no! Don't. So you need me to tutor you or something?" He asked

I shrugged

"I guess so"

"Well how about this, I need to finish this shift in order to get my remaining SSL hours, but once I'm finished I can meet you outside in the courtyard" he said

"Sounds good." I said

I walked down stairs and made my way to my locker to retrieve my jacket

I sighed looking at the condition and closed my locker

I then made my way out to the courtyard

I admired the courtyard, it had some sort of feeling that I couldn't describe, but it really helped me cope with my nerves.

I heard footsteps approaching from behind

"What are you doing here?" Said a deep voice from behind

"Kyle?!" I exclaimed

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"I recon I asked you first love" he said

"I'm waiting for someone" I said

"Oh, and who are you waiting for might I ask?" He said sitting down across from me

"Why do you care?" I scoffed

"Just curious" he said

"What do you say, let's get out of here and go for a drive?" He said

I scoffed

"Go find your fuck buddy and leave me alone" I said

He smirked

"Come on" he said

"I am not standing Lucas up" I said crossing my arms

"Lucas?" He said raising an eyebrow

I nodded

The door creeped open and there he walked in

I noticed how intensely Kyle was eyeing Lucas

"Hey Alex, ready to start?" He asked looking down at me

I nodded

"Yeah, Kyle was just leaving" i said while giving Kyle the cold stare

"Whatever.." Kyle muttered before exiting the room

"Well, he seems nice..." Lucas chuckled
