"And you don't even tell us anything."

Carol whined and I rolled my eyes.

"What exactly do you expect me to tell you?"

I asked seriously.

"What happened with Austin and you in the store room and library?"

Gail repeated the same question they have been pounding me with since morning. Couldn't they just let me eat my lunch in peace?

"Do you really think anything happened?"

I asked them so irritated.

"Being the bad boy he is, he was obviously trying to get even with me but being who I am too, I didn't let him get his way. Long story-short."

I said.

"Mmmmh, atleast someone had the guts to show him his place. That he doesn't own all girls."

Gail said and I had to agree with her on that one. I saw Carol reaching for the chicken in my plate.

"Don't you even dare."

I said and she quickly moved her hand away. Gail just laughed at our encounter.

"I'll still eat it anyways."

Carol said and I just shook my head and continued eating. Just when I thought I was finally going to enjoy my lunch, the intercom beeped pulling our attention.

"Alicia Raymond and Austin Robson. At my office. Now."

Mrs Finn's angry voice called out. She really had to be angry. I mean being accused of promoting teenage pregnancies in school isn't really a good thing now is it?

"I told you I'd still eat it."

Carol smiled and I rolled my eyes.

"I keep getting in trouble and all you care about is my meat. Such a good friend you are."

I said sarcastically and Carol just laughed.

"Don't get too involved hun'. You know how Austin is."

Gail warned as I stood up. Does she really think i will fall in his trap? I understood her concern so I just nodded and walked out of the cafeteria. I haven't seen Austin the whole day.

He didn't attend Poetry and English. Not like I was looking for him or something, I just happened to notice. I walked through the corridor to Mrs Finn's office. While passing by the gymnasium, I saw a girl and a dude making out. Maybe a couple or so. People truly have no shame nowadays.

Making out on a gymnasium door and not caring about the gross stuff you're making innocent people see. I took a glance at them again and realised it was Austin making out with some blonde girl. It didn't surprise me either ways. He was no good. Only known for the bad stuff.

I reached Mrs Finn's office and knocked. I heard a harsh 'come in' and entered closing the door halfway since I didn't want to slam it. I walked in and sat down on one of the chairs in front of her  desk.

"Alicia can you just be called by an adult and be punctual for once in your life?"

She shouted and I rolled my eyes. That name again.

"I'm always punctual unless it's you who calls me ofcourse."

I muttered loud enough for her to hear. Does this woman have to lecture me for everything?

"And next time, sit down when you are told to."

She said and I didn't even attempt to answer her. Should I really tire myself standing up waiting for her to tell me to sit down when she felt like it?

"Where's Austin?"

She asked and this time I stared at her. Mrs Finn never really learns does she? She knows I don't even get along with that guy yet she asks me where he is.

"Last time I checked, I definitely wasn't his baby sitter."

Well I did know he was making out with some blonde on the gym door but it's not like I'll tell her that.

I heard footsteps and I looked at the door just to see Austin walking inside with messy hair. He walked towards me and motioned me to stand up. What does he want now?

"This is my seat."

He said staring at me and I chuckled at the way he said it. As if he owned it or something.

"You bought it?"

I asked him and he glared at me.

"I always sit here."

He said pointing at it. Did he really think that just because he always sits here, the chair belonged to him?

"I hope your father didn't forget to tell you we don't own chairs here in East High."

I said and I saw him flinch at the mention of his father but he quickly covered it up.

"Austin, sit down!"

Mrs Finn said glaring at him. He gave me one last angry look before sitting down. I smiled at that. He thinks he's some sort of king that everyone will do whatever he says. He should think twice when it comes to me.

"One of you went to Mrs Suarez yesterday and accused me of promoting pregnancies in school. Who was it?"

She asked and I almost smiled at the anger in her voice.

"I didn't do it and why would I even do something as absurd as that?"

Austin said and Mrs Finn looked at me.

"Neither did I."

I said looking at her.

"Don't play dump with me you two. I know very well that one of you did."

She said again.

"I did it and I'm sure it was worth it since I won't be cleaning that library again with this... Whatever."

I said looking at Austin. He didn't even take a glance at me so I focused on Mrs Finn who was fuming now.

"I'm so sorry for making you think you'll no longer be punished because as from today on, you will have to tutor Austin Robson in all the classes you are attending together. I hope that is clear to both of you. Now leave."

She said and I just glared at her face which was red from all the anger inside her. Tutor? Austin? Me?

"I am not in any manner going to do that."

I said honestly. He is not even the type to be tutored.

"And I don't need a tutor either woman. Especially an asshole who thinks she's better than everyone else."

He said and I looked at him in disbelief. Did he just call me an asshole?

"Neither am I interested in tutoring a manwhore who thinks he's some kind of king that everyone has to obey."

I replied back.

"Don't you dare call me a manwhore."

"And why not if that's what you are. A fucking manwhore."

It's high time someone put him in his place and showed him his very own true colours.

"Watch your language you two."

She said snapping our attention.

"Whatever your differences are, sort them out because I'm not changing my decision. You Austin will be tutored by Alicia. Your grades are really low. I want to see you getting good grades in Math or you might just be coming to school during summer break. Excuse me."

She said and I bet she was no longer angry. Well my anger was far from vanishing. How dare she order me to tutor this jerk? I glared at her one more time before getting out of her office. I was really beyond angry. He thinks too high of himself and I don't even want to waste my time on him.
