el furrowed her eyebrows watching the boy run past her and down the hall. "hm" she hummed and shrugged her shoulders before clutching onto the straps of her backpack and exiting the school doors

she walks just outside the school to the city bus stop, making sure she had her money with her to pay for her ticket. once the bus pulled up she paid for it and found a seat at the front of the bus. she pulled out her mp3 player and her earbuds before placing them in her ears and listening to queen, one of her favourite bands. their music always made her smile and bop her head so that's what she was doing at the moment while glancing out the window

once she got off at her bus stop she had to walk quite a long way to reach her small house just about half a mile into the woods, her father loved isolation more than she did, surprisingly. el plopped on her small yellow couch as exhaustion was laced into a loud sigh that fell out of her mouth, becoming tired since the day was already exhausting

she looked around and stood up before grabbing her bag and walking into her room. el hummed a small song while she took all her books and papers out, then walking to her drawer and quickly stripping out of her clothes into her comfy blue pajamas with tiny penguins on them. el plopped on her bed with a little giggle before she did it again since she found the bounciness of her bed somewhat entertaining. she shook her head stopping herself before she got more distracted "right right" she said under her breath before fixing her hair and tying it back in her little green srunchie so her hair wouldn't fall in her face.

"a tutor?" mike asked confused while he tapped his fingers against the desk, his eyes partially widened once reality struck him, not thinking he was that bad of a student, so bad his teacher was recommending a tutor to him on a monday afternoon, after school in his classroom in which mike could be doing much better things right now.. he could even give you their names

mr. clarke chuckled with a nervous smile "uh yes- a tutor, you know those people who?-" "i know what a tutor is sir." mike said and cut mr. clarke off, the teacher nervously nodding before letting out a breath, he was always a little ball of anxiety walking around their school

"right, well i was thinking maybe another student in this class could help you? i decided that wouldn't be a problem instead of pulling another chemistry student from another class because i hear you're pretty close with the people here, and you know them well?" he asked and mike nodded, being that this class was mostly composed of girls, he knew them 'very' well

"so let's see here, she should be here any minute" the chemistry teacher said and mike furrowed his eyebrows "she?" he questioned and mr. clarke smiled

"ah yes! you know el?" he said excitedly and mike still looked confused "hopper? no okay well she's another student in this class and she could teach you a thing or two" he said while mike smirked to himself "i'm sure she will" he said with a small chuckle

"where is she anyway?" mr. clarke asked confused and pulled out his phone while mike raised a brow, 'a teacher with a students number? definitely a teachers pet for sure.. or there's a reason why she's probably one of his best students..' mike thought to himself before mr clark sat back down

el heard her phone ding making her head shoot up from her books before she fixed her glasses and huffed. she looked around and used her hand to navigate her way around her bed trying to find her phone, groaning in frustration before she finally found it and opened the message
