The Tutor

Taylor

Taylors POV

"Okay class, we have five minutes left, try and finish your test and hand it into me" Mr. Clayson said.

'Dang it' I mentally said to myself. I looked down at my paper and all I had was one answer filled in and a couple little scribbles of hearts and what not. I looked up to see everyone else reading their books, meaning everyone was done with their tests except for me. I'm actually a very smart person but I just can never focus because there is always something on my mind. Soon enough the bell rang and people started packing up their bags and rushing out of the classroom. Meanwhile I slowly got up and handed my test to Mr. Clayson. I felt all queezy while putting my paper into his hands. I was preparing myself for what was about to happen. I closed my eyes knowing he was looking down at the paper, looking through it. I opened one eye and saw he was putting all the papers on his desk. Usually he would tell me to come in and finish it or give me a pep talk but instead he just smiled and sat down at his desk. I walked back to my desk still confused and packed up my bag with binders and pencils. I started towards the door but heard Mr. Clayson say my name. I clenched my fist and breathed in and turned around with a huge fake smile.
"Yes, Mr. Clayson" I said clearly nervous

"I was thinking" he said and got up from his chair and slowly walked towards me. "We have this tutoring program, and I was looking over all your papers and saw you were having trouble with your school work" he said in an understanding voice.

I cleared my throat and took a deep breath.

"Uhm I don't think that the information you have collected is correct sir" I say trying not to sound too stuck up but also intelligent.

"Ms. Mason, I know you don't want to be put in this situation but this program is the only way to get your grades up" he says sternly trying to get me to agree.

I didn't say anything I just looked down at my feet, rocking back and forth on my heels.

"We'll get you a good intelligent tutor and your grades will be shot up in no time" he said

I looked up at him, half worried, half understanding. All i could think about was 'what would my parents say if they found out I needed a tutor'. I mean my mom is a business women and my dad is a lawyer.

I smiled softly and nodded my head.
"Okay" is all I said.

A smile quickly spread across Mr.Claysons face.
"I'm glad you've made this decision Taylor, I will notify your parents as soon as possible and I'll get you started with your new tutor by hopefully tomorrow". He said

I sighed and pushed the classroom door open and walked out of the room. Only a few people where still in the hallway but most everyone else was on there way home. I opened my locker and grabbed my phone and water bottle and kneeled down on the ground to put them into my already full bag. I unzipped my bag and started to stuff them into my bag but looked up to have my attention on a boy walking out of the principles office. He clearly looked steaming angry while slamming the principles room door shut shaking his head and mouthing 'gosh'. I quickly stood up but to then walk into my locker door. I grabbed my forehead and winced in pain looking away from the boy so he wouldn't see my embarrassing face I made.

I heard a small laugh and looked up to see a tall mixed boy smirking at me while walking towards me. "You okay there" he said while still trying to recover from his laugh.

"Uhm ya, ya I'm fine" I say taking my hand down from my forehead.

I looked around to see everyone that was still left in the halls staring at me in shock then looking back at the boy.

He shut my locker door carefully and leaned against the other lockers with his arms crossed in front of me while trying to get a good look at who I was. I strengthened up my posture and and sighed.

"Blake" he said and put his hand out for me to shake.

I politely shook his hand and softly smiled.

"I'm Taylor" I said

We let go of hands and he tilted his head and pointed at me.

"Mason?" He asked

I smiled at the ground

"Yup that's me" i said

"I'm guessing your one of my brothers friends" I said knowing that my brother is best friends with everyone considering that he's the popular jock of the school. Our last name, Mason, is known to everyone in our town.

He pursed his lips and nodded. It soon became silently awkward and I blurted something out that I immediately regretted. "So what happened in there" I said and covered my mouth.

He saw my embarrassment and chuckled a little bit while taking his shoulder off of the locker. He sighed.

"Well, I got in a little trouble and now I have to tutor some weird poor kids." He said clearly annoyed.

I raised my eyebrows and tried to act shocked and hide my frustration I had with him knowing that he called me weird. But I'm not going to jump to conclusions because it's not his fault he doesn't know I'm one of those kids. But then he goes on even more.

"Ya, like who would need a tutor, I mean how dumb could one be." He said.

I looked down at the ground while biting my lip trying to hold back a scream. I knew that if he kept talking I was going to blow my brains. So I grabbed my bag from off the floor and slipped it on my shoulder. He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion.

"Did I say something wrong?" He said noticing that I was angry.

"No, I just have to go." I say even though I don't have any plans at all today.

"Ok, well, I'll see you around I guess." He said and sweetly smiled showing his pearly white teeth and cute dimples.

I sighed and started to turn around but stopped when Blake grabbed my shoulder. I turned back around to see Blake nervously rubbing his hands together.

"Can I get your number?" He said

I raised my head and smiled lightly, one of the most popular guys in school asked me for my number.. ok.

"Of course" I say politely

He took his phone out and unlocked his phone then gave it to me. I put my number into his phone and gave it back with a smile.

"There ya go" I say smiling

"Thanks ma lady." He said in a southern accent  which made me chuckle lightly.

"My pleasure" I smiled and tilted my head to my shoulder quickly. I turned around and started walking to leave Blake there feeling the presence of him watching me walk away.
