Last Chapter:
Lucy was confronted by the 'fangirls' of the new transfer student. And then, she was called to the Principal's office to discuss matters about the new transfer student. They're going to have tutoring lessons! And Lucy wasn't quite happy about this but chose to endure his presence. Then another character pops in, Siegrain, together with his evil human chess game. What will this bring to Lucy's life? Now here's the update for all of you...ENJOY!
3rd Stop: Tutoring Lessons!
"Are you carrying out your plan already?" A man in deep, husky voice said.
"Of course, president. Don't worry, I won't fail you," a boy, probably a teenager, said to the man, where a black silhouette is the only thing that can be seen from him.
The mysterious man laughed. "Ha! Ha! Ha! I know you won't fail me. You never fail me and you'll never will. After all, you're the top agent of Dark Spirits Organization. But why is it taking you so long? Why don't you just kill her off already?"
"You know that I love challenges. It wouldn't be interesting if I do things fast. I still want to play a little game," he said, grinning.
"I'm expecting a lot from you ... Loke. Give me that interesting game you were saying and I'll give you what you truly want."
As Loke heard this, a troubled look was imprinted in his face for a second. He took a respectful bow and walked outside the room. Then he closed the door. "What I truly want, eh?"
Lucy walked her way towards Tenrou Park. This is the day she wished would never happen. But then, she reminded herself, 'this is all for my grades, nothing else beyond that.'
It was a sunny Saturday, but for her, this is a disaster. She looked around the park. Loke is nowhere to be seen yet. She glanced at her watch and saw the short-hand pointed at 7 and the long-hand at 11. She's 5 minutes early.
"If that guy really ditch me, I swear I'm gonna break all his bones!" Lucy irritatingly cursed.
She suddenly felt goosebumps when someone spoke in her left ear. "Hey, that's mean. I still want to walk you know." He chuckled.
Lucy just rolled her brown eyes at him. She has to make it fast or else she won't be able to control herself at the annoying guy beside her.
"Let's start already. We'll just occupy that vacant bench over there," Lucy started as she began to walk towards the empty seat she was talking about.
But before they could claim the space, two elderly man and woman sat before them.
Loke just smirked and said, "I guess we need to stroll further and find other vacant benches."
This was really getting on her nerves. Just when she thought she'll make this whole tutorial thing fast, here is fate opposing her.
She quickly roamed her eyes throughout the park. They are located at the inner oval of the park where the benches are placed and surrounding them is the jogging lane.
She glanced again at the benches. Nothing is vacant. She glared hardly at each of the benches, probably hoping that one of the occupants will stand and evacuate their place. But no one seems to do so.
Her spirits lightened up a bit when a man stood up from his seat. But her hopes were suddenly gone when she realized that he had just stood up to pick his pen which rolled a little too far from his place.
"Grrr! This is too infuriating. Where do you live?" Lucy asked him.
Loke seems to be taken aback by her sudden question but he managed to calm himself.
"Uhh...Why do you ask? You're not planning to do something to me, are you?" Loke teased.
"Oh shut up, you pervert! I'm just asking if your place is near here so we can use it for our tutorial. What else are you thinking?" Lucy said, annoyance etched in her face.
"Nothing, but I think you are the perverted one. What did you think I was thinking earlier, huh? You called me a pervert so I think you're thinking something not really nice in there, ne?" Loke teased her more. And now he was using her words against her!
"Enough of that already! Just answer my question!" she beamed.
"My place is just near. But I don't think it's appropriate for a girl to go to a guy's house alone, don't you think? Let's just go with yours. You're house is near here too, right?"
"Why, you think it's appropriate for a suspicious guy like you to go to a lone girl's house, huh?" she snorted sarcastically.
"Oh let them think what they want to think. It's their thoughts, not yours."
"Let's just use your house, okay. In that way, I can feel safe because for sure, you have parents in there, right? I-I don't have a-any so I'm afraid of being alone with you."
Loke smirked at her confession. The girl was afraid of being alone with him. He can't blame her, for they still don't know each other that much.
"No, I insist for us to be at your house. And anyway, I don't have parents too and if you live alone, I live alone too," Loke said.
He is being secretive. Lucy was unaware of this but he is hiding something from her that's why he doesn't want them to use his house.
Lucy was surprised by what he had said. He doesn't have parents too? And he also lives alone. Maybe in some instances, they have a similar fate. She thought of it hardly. He also lives alone so either way, they really have no choice but to be alone together. And it's his territory, so he might do something to her, which she doesn't want to happen. She wouldn't know, maybe he's a rapist or a psycho killer!
"Alright, let's just use my house. But DON'T. YOU. DARE. TRY. TO DO ANYTHING UNPLEASANT, you understand?!" she told him as she glared icily at him.
"Alright, Alright. Don't you even know the word 'TRUST'?"
"I don't think that word applies to you. Can we get going already? I want to end this day early," she said as she began to walk towards her house with Loke trailing behind her.
Lucy inserted the key to her house' door. She entered inside and Loke followed, but she stopped him with her hand before he could even land his foot on her floor.
"Stop! First things first, you should follow by my rules if you want these tutorials to be easier and comfortable for the both of us," she told him. He didn't answer back but he just nodded.
"Rule # 1: We'll always meet at Tenrou Park for our tutorial sessions. But if something came up, like just what happened today, we'll move in here."
"Rule # 2: When we are using my house, don't ever dare enter with your shoes on. Leave it outside. I don't care if it gets stolen or whatsoever, just don't let that shoe make a mark on my floor, understand?" After hearing what she had said and receiving a death glare from her, Loke took off his black leather shoes and placed it outside her door.
"Rule # 3: You'll do everything as I say and you can't ever complain. And when I see you slacking off and not listening to what I'm teaching, you're dead meat! Is that clear?" He nodded.
"Rule # 4: We'll only have 4 hours of lesson per day and we'll have 2 days off a week. I'll let you choose the day we're free. So what do you think?" she said as she waited for his answer.
"Uhhm... I guess Sunday...and...Wednesday?" Loke uncertainly said.
"So it's Sunday and Wednesday. We have a deal on that. Okay, Rule # 5: Don't you dare be late for even 1 nanosecond if you still want to live, Loke Cross!" he slowly nodded.
"Rule # 6: If something came up and neither of us can make it on a session, we should tell each other before hand, okay?"
"And Rule # 7: Don't you ever dare do something unpleasant or I'll do every unpleasant thing I know to you, YOU UNDERSTAND!?"
"Ooh, that's scary! What kind of unpleasant things do you know, huh Lucy? I'm getting curious about those."
Lucy's eyebrow twitched. "Forget it! Let's just proceed on the lessons!" Lucy stormed inside as Loke followed her. She dropped her bag at the couch and glanced at the approaching boy.
"Do you already have your textbooks?" Lucy asked edgily.
"Uh...nope, don't have them yet. Laxus-sensei said I'll receive them next week." Loke countered coolly.
"No choice. We have to share mine."
Lucy sat on the couch where she had dropped her bag. Loke was about to sit beside her but she refrained him from doing so by putting her bag beside her.
"Na-uh, you sit at that couch in front of me." Lucy said.
"But how can we study properly if we're too far and we only have one textboo—"
"Rule # 3: Listen and don't complain! I guess you get my point," Lucy interrupted him as she gave him a fake smile.
Loke just kept his mouth shut. Damn girl controlling things and making him under her power! He'll let her have her way, for now.
He sat at the chair opposite her. "So what will we have first?" Loke asked.
"So, since Makarov-sensei said to focus in Mathematics, we'll start with that." She gets her Math textbook from her bag and opened it to their current lesson in school.
"Before we start, I'll ask you first: what points or discussions don't you understand with regards to this subject?"
"Uhmm...I don't know, everything? That's why Makarov-sensei asked for you to focus in that subject. I think I suck a little bit at that," he smirked.
Lucy sighed as she closed the book and opened it again, this time at the very first page.
"So, our first lesson would be integers. I guess you already know how to add and subtract, don't you?"
"I guess not."
"WHAT! That's lectured from grade school! You're totally impossible!" she grunted.
"I'm just kidding. Of course I know how to add. Please proceed now with your lesson, Master."
Her ears triggered with what he had said. Did he just call her master?
"Hey! Have I heard it right? Did you just call me Master?" Lucy asked.
"Of course, Master. It wouldn't be nice to not respect the one who teaches you, right? And I can't think of other honorifics that suits you. 'Sensei' was a choice, but don't you think you'll sound old with that? Master?" he said serenely.
"Stop it with that! Just call me Lucy."
"No, master. I insist."
"Okay, fine. But don't call me that when we're at school, understand?"
"Yes, master!" he said with a salute.
She just rolled her eyes at him and begins her lessons. "Okay so first, integers. We have positive and negative integers. We just do the usual way when adding positive ones and negative ones. You'll add them then copy their signs. But as for adding integers with different signs, we have to subtract the smaller one from the larger one, and then we'll copy the sign of the larger one. Do you get what I said?"
He just nodded in response.
"So I'll give you a problem to solve. I'll give simple and easy ones first. Negative five plus negative six equals?" Lucy said waiting for him to answer.
"Uhm...eleven?"
"No! It's wrong! You're forgetting the sign. It should be negative eleven! I told you to copy the sign. Here's another, Two plus negative four equals?"
"Ah! Negative six!" Loke answered confidently.
"Wrong again! You should subtract now because they have different signs. So you should subtract two from four which is two then copy the sign of the larger number which is negative. So the answer is..."
"Negative two."
"Correct! I think you're starting to get this. So now, I'll give you problems to answer and then," she get something from her bag. It is rectangular in shape with two round buttons in it.
"What's that for?" Loke curiously asked.
"Oh this?" she said as she lifts it for him to see. "This is a buzzer. When you answered wrong, you'll hear this sound," she presses the red button and it produces an 'EEENG' sound. "But if you answered correctly, you'll hear this sound," she presses the green button and it produces a 'TING' sound.
"So let's start."
She handed him a list of equations and let him answer each number. And here's how everything goes.
"Forty-one?"
"EEENG!"
"Negative sixty-four?"
"EEENG!"
"One hundred and five!"
"EEENG!"
"EEENG!"
"EEENG!"
"EEENG!"
And a thousand more "EENG!"
"ZERO!"
"TING!"
"Finally! You got something right! Oww...my thumb hurts and my hand aches from pressing that buzzer a lot of times!"
Upon hearing this, he stood up from his seat and quickly snatched her hand and kissed it tenderly.
"Hey, what are you—"
"I'm trying to take away the pain from your hands, master."
"Stop it!" she said as she pulled it from his grasp. "Let's call it a day. See you on Monday," she said as she literally pushed him towards the door.
"Alright, I already get you. I'll leave. Thank you for this day, master." He leaned forward and kissed her in the forehead. "See you too on Monday." Then he left. She blushed hard at what he had done to her.
She quickly locked her door as soon as he left. She leaned on the door. They'll gonna be doing this a lot from now on.
"I guess he's not that hard to endure after all." she said to herself as she head to the kitchen to make her lunch.
The tutorials have finally begun! But who is this mysterious man Loke is talking to? And Loke was ordered to kill Lucy? But for what reasons? Does someone have a grudge on her? Stay tune for 4th Stop: Sports Fest is up!
