"Exactly how many subjects are you flunking?" asked Melissa. She was supposed to be tutoring him in the subjects they shared that he was flunking. Problem was that was all of them. Jackson wouldn't care so much if it wasn't for the fact that the grade and class administer threatened to switich him out of those classes. The reason he was failing was he'd rather stare at Melissa than do his work. If he could pull his grades back up, he was could stay in the same classes.
"Four," smirked Jackson.
"That's every class we have together," said Melissa, a little shocked.
"I know," said Jackson, still acting very strange, like Eric almost, not as passive.
"Doesn't it bother you knowing you're failing most of your classes?" asked Melissa.
"No, because I have a good reason," Jackson said, smirking again.
"Oh yeah, and what's that reason?" asked Melissa, with a different attitude, atough one, to hide her curiosity.
"Nothing, nothing. Forget I even mentioned it," said Jackson, returning to normal, realizing he didn't want to tell her, he liked her because he had overheard her talk to Daley about a guy she liked.
"Okay, well, what's the square root of 144?" she said, starting the tutoring session.
"12," said Jackson, trying really hard.
"If you got that right, I think you can do the rest," said Melissa.
-----Three Hours Later-----
"Do you have any questions?" asked Melissa, wondering why he was failing when he was getting everything right.
"Yea. So it's divide, then multiply?" he asked.
"Yeah," she said, putting her books in her bag.
"Why is your hand up?" she asked as she lifted her head from looking for her shoes under the table.
"I have a question," he said, simply.
"Shoot," said Melissa, putting on her shoes.
"Will you go out with me?" asked Jackson.
"Are you drunk?" asked Melissa, laughing, "See ya later," and she got up walking to the door.
"Wait! I'm sersoius. Be my girlfriend?" asked Jackson.
"Yeah," said Melissa.
"Good," said her new boyfriend, as he pushed her up to the wall and kiss her.
"I might as well stay," said Melissa.
