Chapter 2: No!!
My heart was racing. What do I do! I can't just say no. She needs a tutor how can I just say no. I look over at Aiden for advice. He was nodding his a no. I took a deep breath. How hard could it be? It just a simple word, no. I turn back to Demi. She had some sort of puppy dog face. It wasn't very attractive, but it was working . Ahhh! I mean I have a girl friend and I'll bet she wouldn't be too happy if I was alone with Demi. It would look like I date. Ok ok here it goes.
"Um Demi" NO NO NO! I screamed in my head. Come on Teddy you can do it."Yeah I guess I could tutor" Aiden smacked his head. That wasn't a no. Why can't I say no!
"Great! Tonight? In the common room?"She asked. Getting a little bit closer to me. I backed up.
"Um sure," I responded. She smiled at me. I gave a weak smile back.
"Thanks, see you tonight" she raced off. I just stared after her.
"Victoire is going to kill me" I said. Aiden came up to me and stared at the door way with me.
"Yep" he answered. I looked down at him.
"Thanks that helps a lot." I said sarcastically. He just rolled his eyes
****
"You are going on a date with Demi?!" Dakota yelled punching me in the shoulder.
"No. It just a tutor" I responded rubbing my now aching shoulder.
"We'll let see you are going to be alone with her and you're going to be studying," she did finger quotations on the word studying " It sure sounds like a date" Dakota said punching me again.
"Dakota stop! I think it's fine that teddy is going to tutor her. I trust him" Victoire said. Everyone 's jaw dropped, including mine. The food in Aiden mouth, which was a lot, felled out.
"You do?" Dakota questioned.
"Yeah he's my boy friend and I trust him " she said. Man I have the perfect girl friend. I wish I can do something that didn't make it seem so like a date. I mean I don't even know why Demi asked me to tutor her. I'm not nearly as smart as Victoire. Wait that it!
"What if I told her that you are going to help tutor her. We can say that it would be good practice for you so you're going to be tutoring me, Demi, Dakota, and Aiden." I said. Dakota spit all the water she had her mouth.
"Whoa whoa why are me and Aiden being pulled into this . I don't even studying when I suppose to, why would i do it now?" She asked.
"Come on please for me" I said doing the puppy dog face. She rolled her eyes. I sighed. "for Victoire" I said.
"Fine. With all these people we probably not even going to study any way." She said. When everyone was done, we walk back to the common room.
"Here she comes remember what we are going to say" I whispered.
"When you say 'we' don't you mean you" Dakota said. I just rolled my eyes.
"Hey guys, um hey Teddy. Didn't you remember we have a tutoring session." Demi asked as she walked in.
"Um yeah. I asked Victoire to help me. It will be good practice for her, for her test. "I said a little shaky. Please work. Please believe it.
"Oh ok um great, so let's get started?" she said sitting down.
"I'm out" Dakota said. Victoire pulled her back down. "Fine" Victoire started going off about defense against the darks, but I wasn't listening. I was still thinking of the fact that Victoire trusted me to be alone with another girl. Would i trust her with another guy?
"Teddy is that ok with you?" Victoire asked. I shook my head back to reality.
"Um sorry what?" i asked. Dakota rolled her eyes.
"Professor kirt asked for Dakota and I to meet him in his office. Could you take over?" Victoire asked.
"um Yeah sure ok" I answered. I didn't really want to be alone with Demi, but i couldn't say no if a teacher wanted them, and Aiden was here. Of course Aiden looked like he was day dreaming, so he was physically here.
"Thanks" Victoire smiled, gave me a kiss and left with Dakota. Everyone was quiet for a while. Aiden notice the silence and that Dakota and Victoire left and snapped back to reality.
"So um, yeah well I'm needed," Aiden looked around to find somewhere to go. "um over there" he said pointing to the most randomness spot. Before I could say or do anything, he got up and ran off. Dang it. So what do i do now? I asked myself. Well I guess the only thing to do is tutor.
" So where were we?" I asked because I wasn't paying attention before.
"actually I was thinking if we took a break. What about we just talk, " She said. Oh great. If it wasn't bad enough I was alone with her now we have to talk about her personal life.
"Sure what to do you want to talk about?" I ask feeling very uncomfortable. She thought about it for a while then finally gave me answer which made me even more uncomfortable.
"What about we talk about you" ME!!?? Why would she want to talk about me ?
This girl is creepy.
"Me? Um ok what do you want to know?" I asked. I really, really wanted to just leave.
"I don't know tell me about you family" Once said I could tell she wanted to take it back. Everyone in the school knew my parents died when I was a baby. I got use to people asking about them and it didn't hurt much to talk about them, but it just wasn't something i enjoyed be brought up.
"I live with my god father family sometimes and sometimes my uncles " I did finger quotations around uncles. Ron, Bill, Charlie, and George weren't really my uncles but that's what I've always called them. Demi must have thought that the finger quotations were funny because she wouldn't stop laughing.
"Your funny" She said. I didn't believe they were that funny but i didn't want to hurt her feeling.
"Thanks. Well we better start studying." I said. She sighed and picked up her texted book, but then dropped it quickly. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Oh just a paper cut."She respond. Her finger started bleeding really bad.
"Oh i have some band aids in my bag." I know it sounds weird, but sometimes when Dakota gets really mad at Aiden she scratches, so he told me carry around band- aids. When i turned around Demi was right in my face. Lips puckered. When her lips touch mine, it was the most DISGUSTING thing ever. I quickly pushed her off. Then the worst thing ever happened.
"Teddy?" I never thought of the day that I would be terrified to hear Victoire voice. I turned to look at her. She had the saddest look on her face.
"Victoire! It wasn't me!"I said panicky. No! No! This can't be happening. It just dream. I hit my head or I hit my head on something and I 'm in a coma having a nightmare. This can't be real. I won't believe it.
"I trusted you" Her eyes were filling up with tears. I could tell she didn't want to believe as much as I did
"Victoire, please, I'm sorry but it, " Before I could finish my sentence ,She off into the girl dormitory. I looked over at Dakota. She had the scary look on her face, but that was the scariest part. She had a book. "Dakota, please listen,"
"what?" she go closer to me with her finger behind her ear like she couldn't hear.
"Dakota please you have to understand "She got closer and closer. Still with her finger to her ear. She took a few more steps until she was right in front of me .
"Can you repeat that?" She asked. I was terrified to answer, I was also terrified to not.
"please" I squeaked. She started pounding me with her book. And man can she hit.
"Dakota. It wasn't me. I didn't kiss her. She kissed me! Please! "I yelled. She started pounding me harder.
"you- liar-how-dare-you-do-this-to-my-sister "She said between hits. Demi Finally got the courage to try to pull her off, but it didn't work. Instead she Dakota turned around and stared hitting her.
"You-are-the most" I would have let Dakota hit her longer. Demi is the one that got me into this mess, but i decided it wasn't right, so I grab the book away from her. She gave a huffed grabbed the book and walk into the girls dormitory. This wasn't a dream.
