Hello to all. Here is chapter ten. Sorry, that this chapter took so long. It's just that unlike other chapters, I didn't planned this chapter out so I took me time figure what I was going to write. I also had to go to book to try what I should write as well. Daryrin210 did have a good idea for the story for having the male beauty as the tutor, by I instead wanted to have the female version of Will and I still wanted to put in a few things before finally bring in the male beauty again. I did put in Gracie X's suggestion, for having Victoria's Dad trying many tutors being picking the female version of Will, since it seems to fit in with what I was going for. Enjoy. I do not own anything.

Chapter 10: The Tutor and the Roses

It took Dad four times before the right tutor came. All of the tutors before did the same thing. They would come in and act nice. However, once they see me, they would scream and run away. Luckily, Dad made sure that they promised not to tell anyone about me.

It was a week later when the final tutor came. "Victoria, Ms. Parker is here." Daniel said to me.

I came down to the living room to find a young woman, sitting on the couch. She looked in her mid-twenty. She kind of looked like what I might look as an adult. She had light skin and long chocolate brown hair. However, I couldn't tell what her eye color was since she was wearing these dark, black glasses. There was also a brown lab with her.

"Hello, Victoria." She said as she stands up. "I'm Samantha."

So far, she didn't scream and run in fear. So far, so good. However, she didn't look at me.

"Um, I'm over here." I said right before the dog growled at me. Samantha then laughed.

"This might be little difficult." She said, still gigging a little.

"Why is that?" I said confused.

"Because I'm blind."

"Oh, sorry. I didn't-."

"It's ok. You didn't know." She said calmly and then turned her head to the dog. "Down, Jewel."

"So, what did my father tell you about me?" I asked.

"Well, he said that you had a disease and wished to continue your studies. To be honest, I was impressed that someone wanted to continue their education even if they did have disease."

"Did he tell you who I am?"

"No, I though you might be an actress or something like that."

"Well, I'm not."

For the next hour, I talked to her about different things. Some of these things were my or her likes or dislike. Jewel did have a face that screamed 'What are you and leave my master alone!' However, I had become distasted many times of what she said about me having a disease, which in way was kind of true in a way.

"Victoria" Samantha said but I didn't hear her. "Victoria!"

"What?" I said, being snap out of thinking.

"Are you ok? That was the fifth time you have wondered off." She said.

"Well, something is just brothering me." I said.

"You can tell me." She said, trying calming me.

"The truth is I do have some soft of disease. Well, to me. I'm a beast. A monster." I said, confessing the truth. However, Samantha looked like she rolled her eyes two times.

"Victoria, girls your age go though a lot and think that they are ugly." She said, thinking that I was talking about puberty.

"I'm not talking about puberty. I really mean that I am a beast. Jewel knows. She been given me a mad face and sometimes growls at me." I said, hoping that Samantha would believe me. "If you don't believe, then feel my arm. Go on." I moved a little closer to her while Jewel growled at me.

"T-this is…real?" Samantha said as she touched my arm. "You're… n-not wearing a c-coat or something?"

"Nope, it's real." I said.

"Well, your father did have …strange conditions for this job."

"Like what?"

"Well, he offered a very large salary and a credit card for all expenses. I was required to live here. I was never to ask who was he or any other reason why he hired me. I was required to sign a three year contract that was terminable at his will. If I stayed the whole three years, then he would pay off my student loans. He also told me not to tell to anyone about this job."

"Did he tell you who he was?"

"He only told me that he was a businessman." So like Dad.

"So, that's where the whole 'thinking I'm a movie star' thing came from."

"Yep."

"I'll talk to you about it." I said. "That is… if you still want to work here, know that you truly know that I'm a beast?"

"Do you want me to work here?"

"Yes." I said. "You're the first person I have talked to for a few months, besides the butler and doctors."

"Then, I'll work for you." She said with a smile. "I'll be happy to work for you, Victoria."

"Victoria Youtheart, daughter of Michael Youtheart." I said before seeing the shock look on her face.

As soon as Samantha became my tutor, we began to order school supplies. We got school books, novels, and Braille books for Samantha. We would do tutoring sessions in the living room around ten. She assigned work that seemed to be easy once I read the chapter. She would pick out books that would spark my interests. I also told her about Mark.

"That's crazy." She said to me. "There is no such thing as wizards or magic. It's all making believe."

"Trust me. If you could see him do magic, you would believe." I continued to tell her about the curse and how I had to find someone to fall in love with me. Even though, she didn't believe in magic, I think she some what believed me after a while.

One day, she didn't come to the session.

"Samantha." I said, knocking on her door. "Samantha."

"Victoria, Samantha told me to tell that she'll see you in the afternoon." Daniel said, on the stairs. "She had an interview."

So, I had to wait the whole day for Samantha. It was until three o' clock that I heard a noise in the backyard. I looked out my widow to find Samantha, digging. I then went down stairs to the backyard.

"Samantha?" I said.

"Oh hey, Victoria." She said, looking up from her work. "Could you give me a hand with this?"

"Samantha, you look like hell." I said, giggling at her having dirt all over her.

"I don't what you look like, but you sound like a jerk." She said, making a good comeback. I then helped her with digging holes. I then noticed the roses that were right next to the door. The roses came in different colors. Some of them were red, pink, yellow, and the color that reminded me of the worse night for me; white.

"What's with all the roses?" I asked.

"I noticed that the entire house seems to be dark since my arrival." She said while she planted a pot of red roses.

"How do you know that the house is dark?" I asked.

"I know that when the blinds and the curtains are close, they cause the house to be colder." She said. "I though that the roses might cheer you up. Besides, I like the roses."

"Samantha, I don't think a couple of roses are going to change me." I said.

"Victoria, everyone needs a little beauty in their life. Don't you think you deserve some too?"

"Samantha, please stop trying to care about me. You don't know anything about beauty or me?"

"You know, I used to see. Back when I was around your age, I became blind."

"Really?" I said, becoming interested with the story.

"Yep, I used to love to ride my bike to grandma's house since it was really close by. We used to spent hours playing cards and in the garden. She used to have a rose garden with mostly every color you could think of. She dies when I was fifteen. That was the same year I started going blind."

"Really?" I said, knowing the story was making a turn for the worst.

"Yep, it first started out with just couldn't see at night. It got me mad sometimes since I could go to any sleepovers. Then I hand tunnel visions which didn't let go out for any sports. Then, one day, when I woke up, I couldn't see at all."

"That must have really sucked." I said.

"Thank you for the sympathy." She said sarcastically. "But the roses still help remember of the times when I could see. You try." She said before holding out her hand and grabbing it. She then led me to the roses. "Now close your eyes and sniff them."

I closed my eyes and sniffed them, just like she said. Then, the memory of the night came back to me. I saw myself coming to the dance with Johnny, giving the rose to the young man, mocking Mark in front of everyone, fainting at the end of the dance, and with Mark back at my room. I then opened my eyes and came back to the backyard with Samantha.

"How did you order the roses?" I said, out of curiosity.

"I just ordered what I wanted, hoped for the best, and colored-coded them when they came. I can see a little bit of color."

"Really?" I said. "So, pop quiz: what color are the roses in the grey pot?"

"The roses in the grey pot are red." She said. I looked to find that she was right.

After that, we continued to plant the roses for the next hour together. Jewel helped as well. She helped dig some of holes. However, if I can close to her, she would immediately growl at me.

"Daniel likes yellow roses." I pointed out.

"Maybe you should give him some." Samantha suggested.

"I don't know."

"You know, Daniel suggested the garden actually."

"Really?"

"Yep, he said he would see you sitting in your room, staring at the ceiling. I think he was worried about you."

"Why should he be?"

"Maybe he has a kind heart."

"Please. He is just getting paid to be nice to me."

"Victoria, he gets paid even if you're happy or not." She was right. Daniel was trying to help me and I was just being mean to him.

"Thanks Samantha, for the roses." I said to her while I finished planted a couple of red roses.

"You're welcome." She said with a smile. "Victoria, you can call me Sam."

After we finish with the garden and Sam went up to take a shower, I picked a couple of yellow roses for Daniel. However, I just left them on the nightstand since he was making dinner. I hoped he knew that they were from me. I then took a shower and made plans to go out tomorrow.

Pheww. That was chapter ten. I hope you guys like it. Can anyone guess why I named the dog Jewel? I'll give you a hint; it has something to do with the person I talked about being the female version of Will for the trailer. Next chapter will be a party that Victoria will never forget. Bye.
