The Tutor

Summary:
Serena Tsukino miserably fails a test and her parents become concerned and decide to get her a tutor. They hire her old brother's best friend, offering him a price he cannot refuse. The two don't get along but when the tutoring is over they can't seem to stay away from each other.


Chapter Seven

The Next Day

Serena entered her bedroom, tossed her backpack onto her desk chair and tossed her cheer bag towards her closet, then flopped down onto her bed with a heavy sigh. Her morning classes were pretty stressful, she had three tests that morning, but everything seemed to calm down after lunch and she had begun to relax. Cheer practice after school had consisted of Mina handing out the new uniforms and fitting everyone into them. Serena loved the new uniforms with their school colors. The uniforms were three pieces the skirt, an under armor midriff, and a shell shirt to complete the uniforms. The base color was navy blue and it had gold and white trimmings around the uniform and had the letters JHS on the chest of the shirt shell. She was currently still in her uniform, since she didn't have enough time to change at school since she was running late to get home for her tutoring. She was too lazy, though, to change out of her uniform and just took off the shirt and left on the midriff and the skirt. She braided her long hair into a side fishtail braid.

The only thing she was glad about school was that she didn't see Darien at all today. They didn't have any classes together but with their class schedules and the routes that they take to class, they normally see each other in between most of their classes and after their interaction yesterday, she didn't think she would be able to face him without blushing up a storm. Darien usually did that to her whenever he caught her off guard. There was just something about him that she hated but loved at the same time. She knew for a fact that she didn't have a crush on him, the thought just made her want to vomit. Though they practically lived together growing up, she never viewed him as a brother. He was Andrew's best friend and the biggest jerk on the planet to her. But every now and then they had their moments and there was just always something about him, she just couldn't explain it, but she always felt safe and complete around him.

She had heard Andrew complaining last night that his football coach was having the team practice all day the Wednesday because their next game was against their rival team, Azabu High School, and they were currently tied in their division, both teams undefeated. Serena and Mina had missed the first two games of the season but Serena didn't really care much about it. She hated football but she loved cheerleading. Before she had gotten into high school and started to cheer, she would refuse to go to any of her brother's games because she thought they were too boring. She never paid any attention to the games and would just chat with Mina and Lita the entire time. This season was going to be weird with Lita gone until the end of October.

Feeling too lazy to change her clothes into something else, Serena made her way over to her desk and began working on her homework. About 20 minutes later her phone started ringing and when she answered it was her mom telling her that her tutor was here and they were coming upstairs to her room.

Serena rolled her eyes and sighed in annoyance when she heard a knock at her door.

"Go away, wrong room!" Serena yelled as she continued working on her English homework with her back to the door. She heard the door open and then close. Letting out another annoyed sigh Serena turned around, ready to give her tutor her speech about how she doesn't need their help, but her words were trapped in the back of her throat when she saw who had entered into her room. Her annoyance turned into anger. "Seriously? You practically live here, you should know where Andrew's room is by now." Serena stood up and crossed her arms over her chest. She was going to stand her ground, this was her room and she wasn't going to let him get to her. 'But he looks so cute—wait what the hell am I thinking?! He's not cute! He's an annoying arrogant jerk!'

"I'm not here to see Andrew,"

'No… it can't be—he can't be.' Serena was in denial. "Seriously Darien, what are you doing in my room? If you're here to talk, I can't, my tutor should be coming up soon." Serena said as she went back to sit at her desk chair and stared Darien down with heated angry eyes.

"Your mom didn't tell you?" Darien asked as he raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Tell me what?"

"I'm your tutor, hey I didn't know you were a cheerleader." Darien commented jokingly, though he had to admit she looked pretty damn good in that uniform. 'Stop it, she's your best friend's little sister and you're only here to tutor her.' Darien scolded himself.

Serena quickly got up and rushed to her door, hitting Darien with her shoulder, as she opened her door and started yelling. "Mom how could you do this to me?! MOM!" Serena yelled but was quickly shut up when Darien put his hand over her mouth.

"Would you shut up Meatball Head? Your mom left to run some errands, your dad won't be home for a while, Sam is at a friend's house and Drew is at work. Trust me, I don't want him finding out and giving me shit about it." Darien said he let go of her and went back into her room and put his backpack next to the small coffee table she had in the middle of her large room.

"You know I don't actually need a tutor, I just fucked up on one test." Serena gave in and went back to her desk.

"I know, I talked to your mom and she said Haruna gave you an extra credit packet to work on. She said that's what I really need to help you with, is bringing up your bio grade." Darien responded as he started taking his homework out of his bag and started working on it.

"Okay, this is what we're gonna do since I really don't have any say in this. Each session we do we work on our own homework, we don't talk, when I'm done I'll give you my work to check over and most importantly we don't talk." Serena said as she went back to her homework. She was almost done with everything and the sooner she finished, the sooner he could leave her room.

"Fine with me," Darien said under his breath, Serena just barely heard him, as he started the last two assignments he had to do for homework.

An hour had passed since the two had said a word to each other, it was a tense awkward silence and neither of them liked it, but they quickly got over it realizing that this was the only way they would get anything done without them trying to kill each other.

Serena had just finished the last of her homework and she was double checking her answers for her Math, History, and English homework. Everything seemed correct but there were some things from her Math homework that had confused her, but she wasn't ready yet to cave in and ask for his help just yet.

Darien had finished the last of his assignments 15 minutes ago and was reading ahead for his advanced physics class when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Serena handing him her homework.

"Can you check over my math? I just wanna make sure I got the right answers." She asked shyly and Darien nodded his head as he took the papers from her and started to check over her work. He spent about 10 minutes double checking each problem and she had all her answers correct, a bit sloppy but all correct. He handed the worksheets back to her, "Thanks," she said softly.

They started packing up their bags and when Darien was ready to leave Serena walked him downstairs to the front door.

"We should probably make a schedule for the next session," Serena suggested as she started to accept the fact that her worst enemy was now her tutor.

"Sure umm Mondays, obviously Friday's, and weekends I can't do because of practice but my schedule is pretty open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday after 3:30."

"That works for me, but where should we meet up? We both don't want anyone else finding out about this, especially Drew." Serena tried her hardest to avoid all eye contact with him, she really hated this.

"The safest place would most likely be my place. It's across town and no one from our school lives in that area." Darien suggested and Serena agreed that would be best. "So tomorrow we'll meet up there around 4ish?" Serena nodded and they stood in the doorway in an awkward silence. "Okay well I'll see you tomorrow at school." Darien said as he opened the door to exit.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Darien."

He left and Serena closed the front door and leaned against it, forget this year being a good year. So far it was the most confusing and annoying year she had ever had and she couldn't wait until this tutoring was over. But there was a slight problem now, when Serena had closed her eyes to sleep that night, she could only think of Darien.
