Two to Tutor

Chapter 1

Brittany sat in her room. So quiet. She felt so alone. Eleanor was with Theodore, Alvin was with his girlfriend of the week, and Jeanette was with Simon.

She never would've thought that she could feel so alone. So empty. All because of him. She never thought he of all people would leave her in her room hugging a teddy bear and watching the sunset.

Tear welled up in her eyes. She needed him now more than ever. He haunted her ever thought. Everything reminded her of him. His eyes, his smile, the way his eyes sparkled when he smiled.

She let one tear fall. She grasped he teddy bear tighter as she thought back on how it all started…

Brittany sat in class filing her nails and every once in a while glancing at the clock. She glimpse at it again. Five minutes until the end of class, then the weekend. Brittany began to think about all of the things she would do this weekend. She had zoned out.

"Miss Miller?" The teacher, Mrs. Casey, called.

Brittany zoned back in just in time to hear the teacher call her. "Huh?" Brittany asked.

"What is your answer for number four?" The teacher asked.

Brittany looked down at her paper. It was blank. "Um…" Brittany trailed off. Just then the bell rang. Saved by the bell. Brittany thought.

Brittany began packing up her things. "Miss Miller, may I speak with you?" Mrs. Casey asked politely although she really had no choice.

"Sure, what's up?" Brittany asked walking up to the teachers desk.

"Well, Brittany, I'm going to be honest with you. Your average is very low." Mrs. Casey said without hesitation.

"How low?" Brittany asked fearing the answer.

"Let's just say it would make an impressive batting average." Mrs. Casey said truthfully. Brittany wasn't surprised. She never really got math. To be completely honest she never liked it. "I'm afraid that, if don't make a 70 or better on the final exam on Monday, I won't be able to pass you." She continued in an apologetic voice.

Brittany just nodded while leaving the room. What am I going to do? I don't get math. She thought. Brittany walked over to her locker. She opened it to reveal pink fur wallpaper hanging in it. She put her books inside and began reapplying her lip gloss. (Which was so not glossy any more!) She stopped to look at a familiar reflection she noticed in it.

Simon Seville was struggling to keep his many binders, notebooks, and textbooks from falling out of his locker. That's it! Brittany mentally exclaimed. She finished applying her and closed her locker.

Brittany strutted her way across the hall towards Simon. She stood behind him and waited. She cleared her throat only to get no response. Brittany began to lose her patience. "SIMON!" She exclaimed.

"WHAT!?" Simon screamed in surprise. His books began to fall out of his locker. "Ah, nuts!" Simon said dropping down to his knees to pick up the books and papers that had scattered all over the hallway.

Brittany giggled and Simon's clumsiness then cleared her throat once more. "Need some help?" She asked in the sweetest voice she could muster. Simon slowly looked up and eyed her strangely. He slowly nodded. Brittany squatted down and began to pick up some stray papers. Brittany could feel Simon's eyes still on her. She looked up to she that she was right. "What?" She asked.

"What do you want?" Simon asked suspiciously.

"Can't I just help out a friend without being accused of wanting something?" Brittany asked in a hurt voice.

"No." Simon said continuing to pick up his belongings.

Brittany rolled her eyes and stood up. "Well, as usual, you're right." Brittany said handing the papers to Simon. He took them and continued straightening his locker. Since he didn't respond Brittany took this as her cue to continue. "Need at least a 70 on the exam on Monday or I'll fail." Brittany paused to see Simon's reaction. It was unmoved. He leaned against his locker and gave Brittany his full attention. "So I was wondering, could you tutor me?" Brittany asked hopefully.

"Why should I?" Simon asked picking up his book bag and walking towards the door.

"Because you're a nice guy and you know it's the right thing to do?" Brittany said in sort of a question.

"Yeah, no." Simon said opening the door for Brittany like the gentlemen he is.

"Okay, so, what do you want?" Brittany asked.

"Nothing. Unlike you and Alvin I can help people without wanting something in return." Simon said turning down his street to meet up with his brothers.

"So does that mean you'll do it?" Brittany called after him.

"Yeah, be at my house in two hours." Simon called back.

Brittany nodded and ran to catch up with her sisters. Simon began to walk home along side his brothers. "What were you and Brittany talking about?" Alvin ask suspiciously.

"Why do you care?" Simon asked just as suspicious.

"I don't." Alvin said holding his head high. Simon and Theodore stared at him, not believing a word. "Okay I do, just tell me!" Alvin said with great anticipation.

Simon chuckled. Alvin may have been sixteen, but he was just as overdramatic and childish as he was six years ago. "If you must know. Brittany needs a math tutor and She asked me." Simon said. As they turned into their front yard.

"She's doomed." Alvin stated jokingly.

"Well, Alvin, I think there may be hope for Brittany." Theodore said in his 'The glass is always half full' voice.

"No, Teddy, I've seen her grades. She's doomed." Alvin joked

Meanwhile Brittany was putting together an out. She finally decided on her jean shorts (Who wears short shorts), her read and pink crochet summer halter top, and her pink designer flip flops.

Eleanor walked in and noticed Brittany checking herself in the full-length mirror that had been placed in their room. "Hey Britt. Where are you getting dressed for?" She asked plopping down on her neatly made bed.

"To the Seville's." Brittany stated plainly.

"Why? I thought Alvin dumped you." Eleanor said flipping through one of her recipe books. When she heard no response she looked up to see Brittany glaring at her. "I mean you broke up with him." Eleanor said correcting herself.

Brittany nodded. Eleanor rolled her eyes at her sister. Brittany didn't seem to notice. "To answer your question, Simon is tutoring me in math." She said trying to decide on a ponytail or to leave her hair out. "An if Alvin happens to be there, show him what he's been missing." She said finally deciding on a ponytail.

Eleanor and Brittany laughed at Brittany's comment. Eleanor stopped laughing when a thought occurred to her. "Do you think Theodore is still home?" She asked, her eyes filled with hope.

"How should I know?" Brittany asked in her usually 'I don't care' attitude. Eleanor ignored her and picked up her cell phone. She dialed a number and let it ring. Finally someone picked up. "Hey, Teddy, how's it going?" Eleanor asked grinning.

It was Brittany's turn to roll her eyes. She gave herself a final check in the mirror and gave herself the okay. Brittany took a look at Eleanor who was busy talking to her boyfriend. She once again rolled her eyes at her, grabbed her purse, and headed towards the Seville house.
