The Tutoring Project

Chapter 5

It is Monday again and Harry woke up, feeling really tired. He came home late last night because he and his friends forgot the time and suddenly it was two in the morning, and Harry had to hurry up to get his ass back home. His parents don’t mind him coming home late in the weekend, but when it’s a school night they will get pissed. He was very quiet last night so he thinks he got away with it.

Harry got out of bed, took a shower and made his way downstairs. He walked in the kitchen only to see his mum with her cup of tea. Harrys mother greeted him with a ‘good morning’ and smiled to him, he answered politely and returned the smile. He decided to pretend that nothing happened and that he didn’t come late home last night.

Harry was on his way out of the house when his mums voice stopped him. “I know you were out late last night. Don’t try to pretend like it didn’t happen” His mother told him.

Harry turned around to face his mother in the doorframe, “I’m so sorry mum, I lost track of time”

“We will talk about this when you’re back from school. Now hurry, I don’t want you to be late.” She said and walked back to the kitchen.

Harry sighted and walked to his car, he drove to school and made it exactly when the bell rang. He walked into class and tried to stay awake.

When lunch break was done he was more alert, and not so tired. When he finally smiled that day - because of something Zayn said - the secretary of the school came up to him and said that Mr. Stewart wanted to see him in his office.

Harry made his way slowly to his Principals office – after the bell rang - so he could miss more time in the class.

He knocked on the door and sat down on the chair, the one that was closest to the door.

“Harry, how are you doing?” Mr. Stewart asked him.

“Oh I’m great! You know it’s just this school starting so early, I nearly fell asleep in class” he said a little annoyed.

“Harry don’t be rude!” His Principal warned him.

Harry rolled his eyes “Why am I here?”

“I wanted to ask you how it’s going with Louis and the tutoring,” he said looking Harry in the eyes.

“It’s going great! Already learning!” Harry lied.

“Oh, is that so? Because I asked Louis yesterday and he didn’t answer the same.” Mr. Stewart said raising his eyebrows, “He said you didn’t pay attention and yesterday you brought friends and your girlfriend?”

“I thought we needed some company,” Harry said defending himself.

“Its tutoring Harry! You don’t need company for that! And tell me why you left Louis’ house on Monday” he demanded.
