Avery's POV
"Avery wake up!! We're gonna be late!!""Erin please shut up" I say shoving my head further under the comfort of my blanket"
"IT'S 7:50 WERE GONNA BE LATE!"
"Shiiit" I drag myself out of bed and grab the nearest sweater.
"Hand me my jeans will ya!"
"Alright alright" She hands me a pair of ripped jeans and I rush down stairs.
"What about my hair??, And breakfast!" I shout after her.
"Well get it at school c'mon!" She says running out the door, We practically push each other out and stumble into her car.
"Wait!"
"What??"
"Who let you into my house!?"
"Your mom! You know she adores me"
"Dear god" I said shaking my head ans coaxing her to start driving.
"Alright, onwards!!" She shouts and starts to drive, bubbly as ever.

As we pull up to the school I scramble out of the car and rush towards the door shouting a thank you at Erin, leaving her to park. I rush toward my locker avoiding streams of people and conversations"Oww!" I crash into a body standing in front of my locker and stumble back to recover.
"Watch where you're fucking going!" I could recognize his voice anywhere, Blake one of our schools most popular football players
"Oh it's Avery!" "I was just looking for you, mrs. Lots says your the perfect person to help tutor me" he smiles like we've known each other for years, I've never even spoken to him!
"We aren't even in the same class, can't somebody else help you?"
"Nope" he pops the p at the end of his sentence clearly pleased at my reluctantce. I tried scooting him out of the way but to no avail, while I'm taller he's much stronger than I am.
"Meet me in the library after school" His tone shifts "please avery, I really need this help or I won't be able to play football this year" I'm not enough of a monster to take something so clearly important to him away when I can help, no matter how boring and unnecessary the sport is.
"Fine, now can you get out of my way please I really need to get to my locker" He moves and shoots a wink my way before swaggering down the hall to meet with the other popular.
So much for a nice start to the day.

---- Blake POV----"So who were you talking to in the hallway this morning"
"This guy mrs. Lots recommended tutor me" I said unenthused about my failing grades
"Ah yes, coach threatened you with the bench, I wouldn't worry about it though dude he's full of shit" keller my teammate and best friend since childhood waved it off like it was no big deal.
"You say that but I don't wanna take any chances, this is the second time my grades have been this low and I don't know what I would do without the team"
"I guess man, it's just kinda lame to be tutored by some kid you barely know"
"Yeah I guess, but on the bright side he's certainly easy on the eyes" averys
"Ah, so that's how it is, Keller wing man extraordinare has got you dude" he says posing on top of the lunchroom bench
"Nah I don't think it's like that man"
"Suuuure it's not dude, I'll be here when you fall in loooove~"
"Shut up and eat your disgusting pizza" I say rolling my eyes and throwing a couple fries his way
***----Avery POV----***
"Bye Erin!! I'll see you tomorrow my favorite bitch"
"I better be your favorite bitch" she says pointing at me from across the hall
"Good luck with your boo thing avery~"
"There is no boo thing!!!!" She walks backwards into the parking lot winking and making kissy noises at me. She's lucky I love her.
I walk up the stairs to the library and nod to the librarian as I sit down, I'm here pretty often so she knows she can trust me, I even lock up sometimes! Before I can think any further I hear a loud shout come from the doorway
"AVE!! my favorite tutor"
"Ave???" I roll my eyes and he sits next to me and pulls out his homework. I scoot the opposite direction not wanting to get my nerdy germs near him, he doesn't deserve that.
"So, what classes does the great Blake Smith need help with?
"English and science actually..." He says sheepishly, it's pretty cute when he's not boastful.
"Well you're in luck Blake, I'm pretty good at those" I say smiling and then we got to work.
Blake was surprisingly receptive to my help and paid attention more than I thought some popular football head could.
"Hey, hey hey can we be done now" blake says gently hitting his own shoulder against mine, somehow the distance I created at the beginning of our study session has closed exponentially and I can't say I particularly mind.
"Yes blake we can be done, you did really well I don't understand why you even need a tutor?"
"Well the teacher isn't as cute as you are" he winks and gathers his things.
"Same time next week?"
"Sure... See you then blake" I can feel my face getting hot and decided I'm gonna walk home to cool off
