Not Giving Up

[2] Tutor The Captain

Wendy's POV

"You'd look so cute together!" Ali said giggling. What's cute about us? I thought.

"Seriously?! My type of guys is humble and romantic and in my calculations, he hasn't even reached the half of that." I'm hopleless romantic and I'm still waiting for my dream guy to come and sweep me off my feet. As we went to our lockers, I opened my locker, took out the books I needed for my next class and dumped it inside my bag. We went separately to our next class.

"Catch you later before lunch," I said waving a hand to Ali.

"Sure," she answered smiling at me like a doll with her rossy cheeks.

I went to my next class and sat on the available seat beside the window and stared at the view, looking at the students going in and out of the school.

While staring at the window, someone tapped my shoulder. As I turned around I saw Tyler.

"Well, well, well, we meet again," he said smirking. Some girls would fall for that smirk of his but not me. Wait, we're in the same class?! oh God, spare me. "Is it just a coincidence or it's you who's following me?" He lleaned over the table to meet me face to face. I was taken a back with his sudden move.

I moved back but the wall already touched my back. Tyler put his hands against the wall trapping me. I looked down at my lap already didn't know what to do. I could feel eyes looking at us. Some of them were whispering to their seatmates. "Don't flatter yourself. I'm not into you like the others." Yes, he's good looking but I won't be having a crush on him.

Nevaahh.

He leaned even closer. Our forehead almost touched and I could already smell his perfume. It's not strong that can make you sneeze. It's just...right.

Right? Wendy stop it! I mentally slapped myself because of that.

I remained staring at my lap as the whispers became louder. Why is he even doing this? "Then, I'll make you like me, Wendy Park."

"Ok class, settle down now." Mr Cole said trying to settle everyone as he entered the room. The whispers were gone. I pushed Tyler's hard core chest. He backed off but his eyes haven't left mine. He looked somewhat amused? Or was he just making fun of me like the other jocks? This is what I've been avoiding.

Even though Mr. Cole was already infront, every one was still doing their own stuff.

The cheerleaders who were Mandy, Taylor and their head cheerleader Ashley, were still talking about whom is the most handsome man among the jocks while sneaking some glances at them.

On the other hand, the basketball players, including Tyler, were throwing paper balls at the nerd who is sitting in front of me. His name is Noah Thompson A.K.A the four-eyed math geek. He wore these awful eye glasses and had a bad sense of fashion. I know, I also have a bad sense of fashion but his is worse. I kind of pity him because I know how it felt to be bullied and trust me, it hurts more emotionally.

As they were throwing paper balls to Noah, I ended up also being hit by a huge paper ball that was perfectly aimed at my face. Whoever threw that paper ball, I'm sure he/she did it intentionally.

I rubbed my forehead gently to ease the pain and looked who threw the paper ball and guess who that was? Tyler.

"Sorry nerd," he said annoyingly then did his famous smirk again.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and ....... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 .... Whenever I get nervous, scared or angry I usually count to keep myself under control. I slowly opened my eyes, glared at him and finally ignored him.

I didn't want him ruining my day.

"EVERYONE!!" Mr. Cole shouted as if he was losing his patience. "Don't wait for me to give all of you detention," at his cry, everyone was rushing to their seats.

"Good." He said in a satisfied tone. He took a deep breath and the ends of his lips pulled upwards before speaking again. "Let us now start, if you are still not aware, you'll have your first exam three weeks from now and so, I want all of you to study." Everyone let out a loud sigh.

"Open your Math workbooks on page 65 and answer exercise A 'quietly'." He stressed on the word quietly, "And maybe quickly before the bell rings because you have wasted my time talking during my subject."

As the class was answering the activity quietly, I could see Tyler who was sitting beside me, glancing, or maybe glaring at me from time to time. Whenever he could sense that I was already aware of what he was doing, he would look to his workbook again and continue answering.

Three minutes passed and he was still doing it. I caught him glaring at me again and this time I was already annoyed and so I looked at him quickly.

"What?" I asked in a hushed tone so that Mr. Cole wouldn't notice.

Tyler looked at me as if he was a bit shocked. I didn't bother to find out anyway. Then he swallowed a lump in his throat and smirked "Hey math geek, tell me what's the answer on number 6," he also said in a hushed tone.

So that's the reason why he is glaring and glancing from time to time, because he was cheating and wants to look at my answers! Well I'm not letting him do that again, I said to myself.

"Not because you want it means you can get it." I said simply then continued answering my workbook before time ran out.

I could see Tyler murmuring something from the right corner of my eye but couldn't understand what it was. I got back to my work and after 6 minutes the bell rang.

"We will be checking your workbooks tomorrow, have a nice day," Mr Cole said ending his subject.

As I arranged the books in my bag and the students were already going out of the room when Mr Cole called my name and Tyler's. "Wendy and Tyler come over here please."

What's happening? Am I in trouble? Are they going to call my parents? I don't want a broken record in my straight A conduct. A lot of things were going through my mind.

"As I have announced this morning," Mr Cole began "Three weeks from now will be your exam and we all know that you, Tyler," he said eyeing the boy in question, then continued "Has had a very low grade in my subject and I'm afraid you won't graduate this year and so I want you, Wendy, to tutor him every now and then," he said and ended it with a smile. Yes! I'm not in trouble......but wait did I heard him right? I'm going to tutor Tyler?!

"M - Me? But why me... and why him?!!" I blurted in shock.

"Her?! Why her?" Tyler also blurted out in shock and continued. "Can't you just choose a much better looking tutor?"

He's words reminded me about what he said a while ago. 'Then I'll make you love me Wendy Park.' Make me love you, huh? Love you your ass!

"Well for you, Mr Adams, you have to catch up with your grades" Mr. Col said pointing to Tyler. "And as for you Ms. Park, I know you could handle it and besides, you have the highest grade in Math among the class and I will give you extra 10 points in additional." He said with a wink I know you will do a great job." Aftr that he left. Tyler and I stared at each other in shock.

What am I supposed to do now?
