Tori sighed as she dragged around her books in her book bag; she'd just got out of talking the principal from punishing Beck. She knew he deserved it after ditching her yesterday, but she was a strong believer in second chances.

Smiling at the librarian, taking the same table as she did yesterday, setting everything up she sat on one seat, looking at the empty one in front of her. She sighed again, after the minutes started to tick, thirty minutes passed the time she had to start her tutor lesson she stood up, a deep frown upon her face, brushing her hair behind her ears.

"You're giving up earlier than you did yesterday." A deep voice erupted from behind her.

Tori stood still, unable to breath before standing confidently, as she could, and faced him. She lifted an eyebrow as he smirked down at her, wondering what was so funny about this. He sensed her hesitance from where he stood. She almost wanted to puff out her chest and stomp her foot in annoyance.

Who did this guy think he was? Not showing up yesterday and showing up when he wanted to today?"

"You were waiting for me outside the parking lot weren't you?" Tori said as she crossed her arms across her chest, feeling uneasy under his stare.

"I was testing you."

"Testing me?"

"I test people, then judge them if they're going to stay full time or part time."

"That makes no sense."

"Ah, that's the beauty about it." Beck whispered in her ear.

Tori blushed and felt him move beside her. The sound of a chair moving broke her out of her intense stare at the ground. She turned around and there he was smiling innocently with his hands folded in front of him.

Tori took a deep breath and sat in front of him, taking out a pencil and waiting for him to do the same. He continued to smile and look at her, making no movement to take out his notebooks or books.

"Look, you probably don't want to be here, but I'm trying to help you-," Tori said leaning in the table.

"Wonder what the librarian is thinking about?" Beck said cutting her off also leaning closer.

Tori frowned in confusion as she turned around to look at the librarian with a sad look on her face while she mindlessly typed away on the schools computer. She looked to be in her early forties and every time Tori came in she never noticed any family pictures or a wedding ring.

"She's probably thinking about her plans after getting out of here." Tori said turning her attention back to the notebook in front of her, "anyways, how far along are you in The Great Gatsby?"

"She's probably thinking about the guy she let go because she was afraid of letting him in or left him at the airport to stay here to live closer to her family." Beck whispered as he pushed his book aside.

"How do you possibly get that from staring at someone?" Tori said looking back before turning around to face Beck.

"I get a lot from peoples facial expressions." Beck said with a shrug.

"What about me?" Tori said with a smirk.

"So, what questions do you want me to do on The Great Gatsby?" Beck said ignoring her.

Tori wanted to protest against his subject change, but he finally showed some interest in getting tutored in the forty-five minutes they've been there. Tori explained some of the main points in the book that Beck needed to know for that weeks test, ran a few formulas for geometry and explained the stock market for government.

While Tori was believing she was actually teaching him things, Beck only nodded and spoke when he needed to, he knew all this in his sleep. He stared at the girl in front of him, trying extremely hard to read her. Her posture remained proper, relaxed but still tensed from when he first walked in.

It almost hurt his brain from the concentration he was putting on trying to read her. It annoyed him that she was the only person who he wasn't able to get anything out of. Everyone was an open book to him, and he got distracted from it all.

Tori looked at her watched and her eyes almost bugged out of her head. It was fifteen past five and she was supposed to be home at five. She stopped what she was explaining to Beck and reached for her phone, quickly texting her mom an apology and explaining that she'd be home soon. She looked around and the library was almost empty besides a single student gathering his things.

"I'm sorry, I have to go." Tori said grabbing her things from the table.

"Let me guess? It's your boyfriend asking where you're at." Beck asked with an unreadable face.

Tori frowned and almost laughed at that ever happening, "uh, no boyfriend. My parents, uh, my mom actually, asking me where I am. I was supposed to be home fifteen minutes ago."

Beck's lips twitched upward for a second, going unnoticed by a rushed Tori. He collected his papers and thanked her for the lesson before taking his stuff and leaving.

"Uh, Beck?"

He turned around and looked at her face; he was momentarily shocked at her beauty. Her brown eyes, high cheek bones and perfect mouth all complimented well together.

"Yeah?"

"Same time tomorrow? Please don't be late." Tori said offering a smile.

Beck just nodded before turning on his heel and leaving. Ten minutes later Tori was waving goodbye to the lonely librarian, and reached her locker. After putting everything in their rightful place she jogged out to her car. Throwing her book back on the passenger side, she started her car. Pulling out quickly, she stomped on her breaks. Across the lot was the same old beat up car, a boy with a permanent frown on his face. She tried to smile but he just closed his eyes and sped out, leaving Tori dumbfounded and confused.
