Chapter 4

"How the dickwad doesn't get suspended for these things I will never know." Trish complained

"Are you kidding? The whole team has every faculty member firmly grasped by the balls. Sports produces results...wins...they get the school money. If the school was to exclude their best player and the team captain the school would get jack all. Understand?" I rambled.

"Yes. I get it but it's so fucking unfair." Trish said, grabbing me a change of clothes from her locker and handing them over.

"Thanks." I smiled weakly, leaning of the sink to get sauce off of my forehead and out of my hair.

...

I walked out the changing rooms with Trish and it was just coming to the end of lunch.

"I hope you weren't too hungry." I said, eyebrows raised. "I don't think we'll be eating today."

"Urgghhh! Why?! Why is it that the day you get marinara sauce thrown at you, causing us to miss important eating time, is the day we have double math in the afternoon. I don't think I'll make it through any of Mr. Jefferys lectures whether it be on special triangles, binomials thingies or Soc-Cah-Whatsits without proper sustenance and a full belly! Trish moaned. I laughed.

"Come on." I said dragging her towards room 109 for math.

...

I hate to admit it but Trish was right. I generally enjoy math but a double period of it with a rumbling stomach was not a good combination. Then again, on the plus side, this was one of the few lessons where Austin seemed to shut up all together and slink to the back of the class...I usually barely even notice him until he barges past me, with a firm chest, on his way out the door. But not today though...

Ring!

It was the end of school and I was just about to leave when Mr. Jefferys up and stopped me.

"Ally, could I have a moment please..." Nodding, I waited for everyone else to leave, saying 'See you tomorrow' to Trish as she left. Once the classroom had cleared I noticed that I wasn't the only one who had remained behind.

"Ally, I would like for you to tutor Austin here." I was gobsmacked, I looked at Austin. He said nothing, only breathed out through his nose rather heavily, flaring his nostrils.

"Umm, Mr. Jefferys, sir, I really don't think that's..."

"Look, I know it will be a lot of work but you are one of my most capable students and it is my understanding that you two are neighbours so getting together to arrange study sessions shouldn't be too complicated."

"Umm..."

"Mr. Moon here, was very adamant that he did not need the help but his test scores tell me otherwise and he needs a passing grade in my class by the end of this semester or he will be removed from the basketball team. Do you understand Miss. Dawson? Extra credit will be granted where it's due of course." I couldn't do anything other than nod, my jaw hung open.

"Good, well there is nothing left to say other than that we'll review in a few weeks to see how everything is going." He concluded and gestured for us both to leave the classroom.

...

Silence. We didn't say anything to each other and then all of a sudden his royal highness stormed off towards the front entrance, slamming a strong fist against a group of lockers as he fled. Eventually I followed, still unable to really comprehend what just happened.
