Educating Eric (Cherik AU)

Picture this: Eric is an outcast who gave up on his education roughly two days after he started secondary school, he doesn't give a shit about anyone because he doesn't need friends to be happy.
Or at least, that's what he tells himself.

Picture this: Charles is a little nerd who feels most at home in the library and wears cardigans designed for people more than three times his age.
He'd rather read a book than talk to anyone.

Picture this: Eric's sinking Chemistry grades prompt his teacher to find him a mentor to help him improve.

I'll give you three guesses who the biggest nerd Mr Reyden knows is.
