Title: Tutoring Session

"Troy!" Gabriella shouted getting him out of his daze. "Stop checking me out and focus on studying! You're history test is tomorrow and you need to study."

For the past half hour, Gabriella had been trying to help Troy study for his U.S. History midterm. Troy however was paying more attention to Gabriella. Every few minutes he would lean over and catch a whiff of her perfume and begin to day dream of all the times they would make out in his room or her room or even his car after a date. Gabriella however broke him out of his daydream by yelling his name.

"I am." Troy defended.

"I knew this was a bad idea. You can never focus when I help you study." Gabriella said as she began to gather her stuff up.

"Where are you going?" Troy asked.

"I'm going home so you can study properly."

"No, don't go Gabby. I promise I won't get distracted."

"You promise?"

"Promise."

Gabriella sighed and sat back down. Troy kept his promise and every time she looked up he was focused on his notes and textbook. She smiled and went back to coming up with a quiz for him. Gabriella was in the AP U.S. History and already had her midterm.

A few minutes later, Mrs. Bolton called them down for dinner. Most of the dinner conversation included mostly of Gabriella coming up with questions for Troy that could be on his test the next day. Even his parents were getting in on the quizzing.

"Who was the fourth President of the United States?" Gabriella asked.

"James Madison, who was also the author of U.S. Constitution." Troy answered.

"When was the Civil War fought?" Mrs. Bolton asked.

"The Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865."

"Who was the first president to die in office?" Gabriella asked.

"William Henry Harrison." Troy answered.

After dinner, Troy and Gabriella went back to his room to continue studying maps and timelines. Troy's weakness in history was maps. He could never memorize which mountain was which. He kept putting Mount McKinley in Washington State where Mount Rainier was. Gabriella was always getting frustrated because he did that all through out their tutoring sessions. Troy pulled Gabriella's chair out for her before he sat back down.

"Ready to study maps?" Gabriella asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Troy agreed as Gabriella kissed him gently for good luck. "Bring on the maps."

Gabriella giggled as she handed him a blank map. Troy began to label the major rivers and lakes. He then began to label the mountain chains and the major mountains in the U.S. Gabriella looked out the window as he took the quiz.

"Ok." Troy said putting his pencil down. "Done."

Gabriella picked the map up and began to check it. After awhile she looked over and Troy and smiled happily. She wrote a '100' on his paper and gave it back to Troy. Troy pumped his fist in the air as he was relieved that he didn't have to study the maps anymore. Gabriella then pulled his text book over to start throwing questions at him again.

"Who was the Native American woman who helped lead Lewis and Clark through the Louisiana Purchase?" Gabriella questioned.

"Pocahontas." Troy answered.

"Troy, we've gone over this a thousand times. It was not Pocahontas, it was Sacagawea." Gabriella snapped. "Why can't you ever remember?"

"Well, I'm sorry that I can't remember things as easily as you can!" Troy snapped as Gabriella slammed the book shut.

"Fine, flunk this test for all I care!"

Gabriella then got up and stormed into the bathroom. She slammed the door shut just as Coach Bolton came into the room. Troy was opening his book back up as if this was no big thing.

"Everything ok?" Coach Bolton asked his son.

"Everything's fine." Troy answered as he stood up and walked over to stand by the bathroom door. "This always happens when we do homework together. We both get slightly frustrated with each other but it never last too long."

Just then Gabriella flew from the bathroom and into Troy's arms. She kissed him passionately not caring if her boyfriend's father was still in the room with them. Troy wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"You're right, it doesn't last that long." Coach Bolton mumbled as he left the room leaving them alone.

"I'm sorry, Baby." Gabriella whispered when they finally broke apart. "I didn't mean to snap at you."

"It's ok." Troy replied. "I didn't mean to yell at you either."

"I may have come up with a study method that will hopefully give you some motivation to get more answers right and for you to focus whenever you study. And if this works tonight, then I might consider doing it every time we study together."

"And what might that be Montez?"

"For every five questions you get right, I give you a kiss."

"I think that is going to be very good motivation."

"Well, let's go test out my theory."

"Lead the way, Montez." Troy said as they walked back to his desk.

For the next hour, Troy was spitting out all the correct answers to the questions Gabriella gave him. As promised, Gabriella rewarded him with a kiss on the fifth correct question. Finally confident that he was going to pass the test, Gabriella pulled him out of his chair and led him over to his bed.

"What are you doing?" Troy asked before Gabriella pushed him onto his bed.

"Rewarding you."

Gabriella then began to kiss him passionately. For the rest of the time he was there, the two made out like they always did when they had free time after study sessions. Later that night as he was going to bed, Troy decided that he was going to look forward to the next test that he was going to have to take if all his study sessions were going to be this good.
