"I don't think so" Julie retorted.
"Well then stop giving me these lectures about how I should go look for some help. I just did and look what happened."
"Who said I needed to be the one to help you?" Julie questioned.
"1) Because you are only the smartest person in class and 2) Because every time I do ask someone else to help me they think it's a big joke." Jeff said a little agitated.
There was a brief silence and Julie just stood there. She was about to say something when the bell rung.
She went on with her usual day at school feeling sorry for Jeff knowing he really did want to do better in school. At the end of the day she saw Jeff standing by his locker. He looked like he was in a deep thought.
She walked over to him slowly. "Um Jeff?"
He looked up at her with a questioning look on his face. "What?"
"I was thinking about it earlier and you know how you said that you need help studying?"
"Yeah. And?"
"I guess I'll give it a try."
"What do you mean?" Jeff knew exactly what she said. He just wanted to make sure he heard her correctly.
"I'm saying I'll help you study. It's just I don't know exactly when because I have such a busy schedule."
Jeff smiled. "I don't care what time or day. As long as I study."
"Wait a minute. I forgot to tell you. I'll only help you on one condition."
Jeff sighed. He knew this couldn't be good. "What is the catch."
"We have to study at your house."
Jeff again sighed but this time in relief. "That's it?"
"Yup" Julie smiled.
"Okay that's fine with me. But can I ask you something?"
"Shoot."
"Why can't we do it at your house?"
"Julie looked down at her feet and bit her bottom lip. "Uh…uh…I mean…um…we just can't okay?"
She said a little nervously.
Jeff looked at her weirdly. "Whatever. Can I at least have your phone number so we can set up a day and time?"
She thought about it for a while and thought that it would make sense. "Okay. I guess." She reluctantly gave him her phone number and went on her way.
*Author's note- I know this was also a sucky chapter. Sorry people. But there are just a few questions: What is Julie hiding and who is Stacy??? Please R&R.
