The Tutor

Chapter 1- Where it all began

" And that's how the respiratory system relies on the circulatory system"

Mr Wilson finished as I slowly closed my eyes nearly falling asleep at my desk before I felt something drop on my shoulder. Well, surprise surprise it was him.

And if you're wondering who "he" is let me tell you. Aiden Johnson. School golden boy and a total hottie. Why is he such a hottie you might ask? Well, the fact that he has abs is one thing, but his auburn hair that flows in the wind every time he is outside, his emerald green eyes that shimmer in the sunlight and his marvellous laugh. Every time he laughs, my cheeks turn bright red. I turned my head slowly with an emotionless expression not letting him see me blush, looking at him I said.

" What do you want?"

I said with no visible emotion in my voice or my ugly face. I was already very used to this happening.

" Oh come on dolly! I know you can't stop looking at me."

He said in a jock like a tone, as a slight smirk appeared on his face.

I turned my head back around to look at my teacher before the bell rang.

" Well, class dismissed. Have a nice weekend,"

He said smiling from ear to ear before continuing.

" Angela can you stay for a minute. We need to talk."

Then the entire class when into 'ohhh's and whispers. I rolled my eyes, placed my books in my bag and tossed it onto my shoulder.

" What is it, Sir?"

My face filled with confusion that cleared up very quickly after he said this.

" Angela we all know you are the best student In the class. And I hate to tell you this, but I'm afraid what's going on at home is beginning to affect your grades,"

He said in a hushed tone.

" Ha-ha- how do you know about what.."

At this point, tears started to well up in my eyes, but I blinked them away as soon as possible. I looked back up at my teacher who had a worried look on his face.

" Angela I'm a teacher. It's my job to help students. If you have any problems that you want to talk about come to me."

He said as he gave me a reassuring nod.

" But now you will need a tutor. That's why I called you and Aiden."

I looked around the room but he was nowhere to be found. That's when the door smashed open and he came in looking as amazing as always. I still rolled my eyes at the rare sight. He walked up and said.

" Well, we meet again dolly"

He laughed tilting his head slightly towards the floor, leaned against the wall and looked me in the eyes. F. my. Life. I mean I'm not complaining.

" Ok, I'll get going now. Have fun guys,"

Said Mr Wilson as he quickly packed his bag and left so it was just me and Aiden. Now I was also looking into his eyes which created an intense stare between the two of us. He then decided to break the silence that has fallen on the room.

" You coming or not?"

He looked at me eyeing me up and down.

" Fine,"

I said the anger evident in my voice

We walked to his house without saying a word to each other. That was until we came to a halt in front of a huge mansion. I stood there with my mouth wide open since I have never seen a house that big. I stood there and he looked at me while raising eyebrows. I think we stood there for a good 5 minutes before he finally decided to speak.

" Careful, if you keep staring at my house any longer your eyeballs will pop out"

He stated with sarcasm evident in his voice. I mean at least I hope it was sarcasm.

I finally woke up from the shock and turned to him. He looked at me like I was insane because the whole time I was looking at him, waiting for him to invite me in. He saw me doing this and immediately spoke

" I'm going in, you can stand here and watch. Enjoy the view."

He winked and turned around not looking back until he was at the door.

He motioned me to come with him and I cautiously moved towards him and the door. I didn't know what to expect from this guy I was scared but also excited. I came into the house only to be greeted by a woman smiling brightly from ear to ear. She eyed me up and down.

" Oh, Aiden! I'm so glad you finally brought your girlfriend to me!"

I turned to him with my face with confusion. He noticed this and shortly whispered in my ear.

" Just play along "

After he whispered this into my ear he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. I felt a little bit uncomfortable but after a while, I relaxed and gave into his touch. His mom looked so happy I didn't want to ruin her day by telling her I'm not his girlfriend. His mom stared at us but still with a smile she said

" I'll leave you guys to it. Dinner will be ready in an hour,"

She smirked at me and turned away to the kitchen.

Aiden and I stood there until she left and could not see us anymore. He gently took my hand and pulled me towards his room upstairs. I looked at him really confused but he just focused his stare forward and didn't say a word. When we came to his room, he turned around walking to his closet and taking his shirt off. He looked at me to see what I was doing. After he changed he came back and sat next to me on the bed. I looked at him curiously and said:

" Why are you doing this,"

I asked looking at him

"It's not like you want to help me anyways"

His gaze was now focused on me and I could see it in his eyes that he was angry as his bright emerald green eyes now turned dark electrifying green. Since he didn't say anything I decided to continue with what I was saying:

" You don't have-"

He gently put a finger on my lips to keep me quiet since he was only getting more and more mad at my words.

" I know but I want to,"

He said.
