               Louis Flynn
Louis woke up that morning fucked up as hell. If it were up to him,he wouldn't dare set a foot at school that day. The Professor was the only reason that made him wake up that morning. Lucky for him, he had a hotline for times like this; drugs. He rolled up a blunt and smoked his way to the bathroom. He cared less on his appearance that made him take only 3 minutes in the shower and only 5 in his room.

" You picking us up,right?" He saw the text from Ray.
" K. Be there in 5." He replied. Though he had not planned for it,he couldn't say no to his crew. His band was his family and obviously he couldn't say no. He picked up his car keys, locked his apartment and headed to Ray's. He knew they'd all be waiting for him there.

After honking severally,the band emerged from the Ray's house.
" You know I won't be honking a gazillion times for you guys to get in the car. " Louis muttered as he drove off the driveway.
" Ray's mum made the most amazing pancakes,we couldn't just leave them there." Dwight said. He was a foodie and no one could make him stop not even himself.
" Bro, you didn't leave with anyone last night, did you get castrated or something?" Carlos asked as the group couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You know what, y'all can go to hell. Maybe it's because I didn't meet any of your sisters last night. Otherwise I'd smash the hell out of them. " Louis answered back trying to hide the nervousness that was taking over his brains; the Professor.
They joked about the whole thing till they arrived . They headed for their classes as Louis entered the professor's office. He was nervous as hell. The fact that the Professor had threatened to involve his parents made him even more worried. The secretary let him into the office.

" Louis Flynn. I guess you received my email. Your grades are currently very low." The professor didn't beat about the bush. "You've not been able to get a single grade above C. I have assigned you a student tutor who'll help you study."

Louis hated the idea. He's never liked the idea of him studying with anyone because of one reason in particular; he never studied! He knew if he tried arguing with him,all the professor will do is to involve his parents and that was the last thing he needed right now. He had to swallow his pride and accept help.

" Ok. I agree. " Louis let that with a sigh. He had no other choice.
Suddenly, there was a knock. As if expecting her the professor introduced Laurel,
" Louis, I'd love you to meet Laurel. She'll be your tutor for the semester. I hope you guys working together will make sure your grades go up."
Louis was mesmerized. Of all people,her. The snob. Couldn't he get a more normal person. With way the professor had made up his mind and there was no way out of it. They shook hands and immediately a plan had to be made.

Laurel Pratt
Laurel woke up earlier than usual. Despite the fact that she was a little bit hangover, she had a deal with the professor and she knew she had to be up early. She had to pick up Anna or else she won't turn up for school. She had made a promise to the professor and she had to honour it no matter what. The Professor had promised her additional points and she knew how really bad she wanted them.

"I'm picking you up in 10 minutes. Be ready."
Without that text Laurel knew very Anna won't appear in school. On her way she bought two cups of coffee and headed to Anna's place.
As they walked to school, Anna couldn't stop talking about the guy from the band. It was obvious she had developed a huge crush on Louis. Laurel couldn't help but listen. In her head, Louis was cute but the last thing she wanted right now was to think about men. They spent their whole walk talking about Louis... Actually it was Anna talking about Louis.
" I need to see the Professor before class. He'll be giving me a student to tutor. I guess I told you that."
" No you didn't. But I hope he's as hot as Louis."
As annoying as she sounded. Anna knew very well they both agreed that Louis was hot.
" See you later!"Laurel shrugged off as she headed to the professor's office.
Laurel was shocked to see that the same guy that Anna was binge talking about was still the same guy she was going to spend the whole semester with. But he really didn't seem excited about it.
"Was she that annoying "
"Was she not smart enough for him"

These self doubting thoughts took over her head. But why was she feeling this way!!!
Anyway she was ready for him.
After a long silence. She decided to break it by saying
" Let's meet up for lunch"
And that was a beginning of a journey that neither of them knew where it will lead to.
