It's been three days since Hunter offered to tutor me one on one. Every end of class, Hunter taught me some advanced lessons. It's a bit confusing at first but the more I study, the more confused I get.

He said that it'll come to me eventually, I just need to study more. There will be an upcoming test today, Nicole is nowhere to be found.

"Is everything alright?" Hunter asked. We're in the library, studying for my upcoming test. "Yeah, just nervous that's all."

"Don't be. You can do it." He gave me a confident smile. I narrowed my eyes at him. "You don't know that!" I snapped.

Surprised by my outburst, He leaned back a bit. I avoided looking at him in the eyes, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry..."

He tapped his pen on the table. "Hey now, you're just stressed." I felt my eyes stinging with tears, which I quickly wiped. "Nicole isn't here to tell me it'll be fine."

"Well, since I'm here," He put his hands on both of my shoulders. "Tell you what, It'll be fine!" He then sat back again. "Maybe listening to some music might help you rest."

After I do what Hunter said, We packed up and go on our separate ways. I entered the classroom, and as expected, Nicole isn't here. We have a test, where would she go?

"Hello, students! Are you ready for your test?" Sir Malachi entered and waved the papers. The other students groaned. "Bummer right? Let' see...If the whole class gets at least 80% average on this test. If so, then Lunch is on me!" Sir challenged.

The students cheered and willing to prove Sir. M wrong. "Ready your perlins Sir!" I think Frank is his name. Huh, The power of free lunch.

Sir M laughed. "Let's see... here are your test papers." He gave us the papers. "Begin!"

All of them looked so serious answering. Okay, Nhinx, you can do this, just take a deep breath and remember your lesson.
