"Sophia, can you come here for a minute." Ms. Edelstein, her teacher, said.
"Yes Ms. Edelstein?"
"Sophia you're at the top of your class."
"Yes ma'am." Sophia replied to her Math teacher proudly.
"Well Arthur's at the bottom. I need you to tutor him." her teacher said with a god-I-hate-my-life look.
"I have to tutor Arthur Kirkland?" Sophia repeated, absolutely shocked.
"Yes, I've already told you this. I thought you listened in this class." Ms. Edelstein took on a tone reserved for screwups.
"Yes, ma'am." Sophia said, not wanting to get in trouble.
"Good, now I just need you and Arthur to work out tutoring times."
Sophia walked out the classroom and looked for her friend Belle. She looked around the halls and courtyards until she found her then walked over to her.
"Hey Belle."
"Hey Sophia can I tell you something?"
"Anything."
"I like Alfred." Belle said very quietly, face flushing a light pink.
"You like Alfred? Gross.." Sophia said to Belle, somewhat shocked.
"I can't help it..." Belle replied "It's the same way that the world turns. It's not made to make sense".
"Do you know how weird that is for me he's like my brother."
"Do you like him?" Belle asked, her voice low.
"No, did you just not hear what I said?" Sophia told her friend with an are-you-serious face. "That would be the end of the world for me. It would be worse than liking Arthur."
"So long as you don't like Alfred."
Then the bell rung.
"Well, see ya Sophia." Belle said then ran off.
"I have to tutor Arthur Kirkland. I hate my life."
