Spanish Is Not My Best Subject!

Margo's POV

After finishing my pop quiz (with a lot of help from Ethan) I sit back down in my seat and pull out my phone. Apparently, I have two new messages. One from Queen and one from Beauty. I open my messages and read them both.
Beauty- There's a party next Friday. You in?!?
Queen- Of course!! What about you Marg?
Margie- Yepppppp! Meet at mine?
Beauty- It starts at nine, so meet at seven?
Queen- Absolutely
Marg- C u guys soon ;)

Bringgg, Bringgg, Bringgg

The sound of the school bell brings me out of my conversation and back to the reality we call school. I put my phone in my pocket and grab my bag. I turn to leave when someone suddenly grabs my wrist to pull me back. I turn to face Ethan.
"We have to see Mr. Gerald now?" he says almost like its a question.
"Oh yeh, right, totally forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me."
"No problem."
We both walk up to the front of the classroom. Mr. Gerald is sitting on his desk munching on an apple. Mr. Gerald is a pretty cool teacher, but if you get on his bad side you should be expecting detention for weeks. After finishing his apple Mr. Gerald flings it near the bin and miraculously he gets it in, I slowly clap.
"Thank you, Thank you." Mr. Gerald booms in his loud, but friendly voice. I can't help but smile at my Spanish teacher.
"Margo, tus estudios están cayendo. Necesitas ser tutelado. Ethan puede ser tu tutor para ayudarte. De lo contrario, tendré que fallarte."
All I got from that was Margo, Ethan, and study. Wow i need a tutor.

Ethan stands frozen for a second, looking off into the distance and not moving a muscle. I walk over to him and look him in the eye. He comes back from whatever land he was in and smiles at me, then he looks over to Mr. Gerald.

"I would be happy to help Margo if she needs my help."
I walk over and whisper to him "What did he say?"
"Do you want the long version or the short one?" He smiles as he says this, and it makes me smile too.
"Ummm... The simple one please."
"Ok, so your failing Spanish and Mr. Gerald here thinks it would be good if I tutored you."
"Oh...o-ok t-thanks" I stutter
Well at least i was right about the whole tutoring thing.
"No problemo."
I laugh as he says this before turning back to Mr. Gerald. He is just staring at me with a mysterious smirk/smile/something else I'm not sure of. Oh God, sometimes this teacher is so weird. Somethings up. Anyway, I turn around so I'm facing Ethan, only to see the same smile plastered on his face. His smile was quite cute actually. What are you talking about Margo! You don't like anyone! I internally scream before turning back to Mr. Gerald.
"Spanish isn't my best subject, sir. I need all the help I can get."
"I take that as a yes?" Mr. Gerald questions as I slowly nod my head.
"Well it's settled then, Ethan will tutor you and I will be expecting at least B*s by the end of the term. And don't let anything between you get in the way of your studies. Got it?"
After blushing like an insane idiot, I nod my head and turn around, only to face Ethan. I dodge past him before heading towards the door. At the last minute, I turn around and say
"Are you coming, or what?"
Ethan turns around suddenly and follows me out the door. He's still grinning like an idiot, but for some unknown reason, it makes me smile too...
