Why Me...

Ch.6 The Tutor

Jon's pov
I got on the school bus alone this morning, Anne and Craig weren't on this morning. I havent even seen them in the courtyard, which is where we meet up in the morning.

I hear the rumble of an engine and everyone starts whistling. I turn my head to the source of the sound. It was a black camaro, and stepping out of it was what I could assume Anne and Craig.

Only they didnt look like themselves, Anne looked exactly like how Sydney and Kelly look and Craig looks like a total fuck boy.

Guys were gawking over Anne and girls were giggling about Craig. Its like I entered the upside down or something. This wasnt normal.

"Anne, Craig, what are you doing?" I asked, they walk right past me and didnt even look at me.

I follow until they reach Sydney and Tyler and there group of friends, I hide around the corner and listen

"Hey Sydney, is that a new string of pearls, did your father get them? He always had a good taste!" Anne says acting like, like, well like a bitch!

"What do you want Annebeth?" Sydney says eyeing Anne.

"Look, Craig and I are done with that Jon kid. He's giving us a bad Rep and were through with being pushed around" Anne says. Craig nods in agreement.

What are they talking about?

"You really think I will fall for that! You may be able to dress the part and talk the part. But we all know you don't have the ability to run this school, so if your plan is to overrule me you better leave now!" Sydney says defending her crown.

"Syd think of what we could accomplish if we worked together like old times. We could share the throne, nobody would able to stop us!" Anne says.

Why are they doing this, what could they possibly gain. Tears. I can feel tears coming.

"Hey Jon-" Evan says.

"Shhhh!!!" I cut him off and pull him against the wall with me.

"Okay fine, but I'm the leader and I call the shots! And first things first what is this kid doing here, whats he useful for!" Sydney points to Craig. He surprisingly doesn't flinch away. Instead he snickers and raises his eyebrow.

"I'm your tech guy, I can get dirt on anyone or anything. Need something from the web, I'm your guy. Any information needed I'm at your service" Craig says. Anne smiles

At this point I'm near the point of a break down, Evan puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Fine he can hang, but I'm warning you Annebeth, you try and pull anything I will destroy you." Sydney says and struts away.

Everyone follows her, Anne and Craig turn to each other, they high five and smile and strut along with her.

I burst into tears, I just lost my only two friends. The only people who ever made me feel welcomed.

"Jon...hey, every thing is gonna be okay..." Evan says rubbing little circles on his back.

Then I did something extremely out of line and random. I turned and wraped my arms around his neck and just cried.

Surprisingly he held me and supported me. The bell rang and we left to go to math.

In math people continued to throw paper at me. They wouldn't leave me alone after seeing me come into the classroom crying. Although I can still get work done.

Evan on the other hand, I can tell is struggling. I give a slight chuckle and shake my head.

"What?! What are you laughing at?" Evan says and pushes my shoulder.

"Nothing, just thought you would be better at math!" I say sarcastically. 

"Oh really! That's how its gonna be! Well how good are you at math?! Huh? Lets see!" Just then Mr. Lee came and gave us our quiz from last week. Before I could get to mine he snatched it up. "Lets see what you got here!"

He sees the 95% circled in red at the top of my paper. On his a striking 68% is circled. He looks at me and I smile, he throws my paper back at me.

I chuckle and he shakes his head. He crumbles his quiz up and throws it away.

"Evan, Jonathan, come here please" Lee calls us up to his desk. We look at each other and go up to his desk. "Evan, I'm sorry to say this but, you're failing math and if you don't get your grade up you will be ineligible to play Hockey..." Lee says

"What?!?! You have to be kidding me!?" Evan says shocked "I only failed one test and a stupid 10 question quiz!" Evan says

"A test that was 100 points and a quiz that was 50. And since you failed it dropped your grade, also may I remind you, you aren't the best at turning in work" Lee explained.

"There has to be something I can do, I could do extra credit or something, anything, please!" Evan practically begs.

"Yes thats why I brought Jonathan up here. Jonathan, if up to it, will be your tutor..." Lee goes on in explaining the whole thing to Evan, I get lost in my thoughts.

Me being Evan Fong's tutor? How the hell did this happen. How the hell am I gonna explain this to Anne and Craig?

Oh...yea, they don't need me anymore, I don't have to explain anything to them.

How could they do that to me. I know why Anne would after the argument we had, but Craig? Why? She probably dragged him along.

I look at Evan. He is so cute when he is worried. We could go to his house and stay in his room and study. I could see if he is gay, or at least bi. 

We could get closer and hopefully we could become more than friends.

Why would he fall for you?
You aren't anything special,
You are just you
Just Jonathan
Jonathan!
JONATHAN!!

"Jonathan!" Mr. Lee and Evan are staring at me "I was asking you if you would be up to tutoring Evan?"

Evan gave me the biggest plead with his puppy dog brown eyes. "Oh! Uh, yea sure, I don't mind" I say and rub my neck feeling my cheeks get red.

They both definitely saw me staring and gawking over Evan.

The bell rings, "great! You two can discuss it more, I expect you to pass the next quiz and test Evan" Mr. Lee dismisses us.

"How about we do it at your house-"

"NO!" Evan slams his thing on the desk. I look at him wide eyed. "I'm sorry, I mean we can't. My uh, my parents are out...of...town..yeah!! And they don't like me having people over when they aren't home!"

"Um, okay, we can meet after school and you can ride the bus home with me?" I suggest.

"I have a car, we can meet after school and we can drive there together!" Evan says, I nod and we leave the class.

"I guess I'll see you after school..uh, bye!" I say and start to walk away but he grabs my arm,

"Hey Jon, don't worry about Anne and Craig, if they would do this to you then they aren't worth it" he says, I give a slight smile, he looks down and then back up at me, "you are amazing and such a great person, Jon they didn't deserve someone as wonderful as you..."

My face is burning red and in internally freaking out, "th-thanks Evan, you really know how to make someone feel special..." I say and turn away and rush down the hall.

He calls for me but I'm to far come. I rush into the bathroom and slide down the door. He told me I was amazing and wonderful. I smile the stupidest smile ever, and at that moment nothing in the world matter except that Evan thinks I'm amazing and wonderful...
