I'm sorry to say that after this chapter, I won't update as often, mainly
because I have to rewrite everything afterwards since I kind of lost
it...It's so sad, but I'll make it!
Chapter Nine
"Yohina! Where are you make-up works?" Mr. Calculus shouted at her across the room. Yohina was troubled. That day, when she got back, it was already Monday morning. She wondered how could time pass so slow in that place. She was only there about twenty minutes and when she got back, two days have passed. It really sucked since she hadn't really done her homework. Now, she's really in trouble.
"I...I didn't have time to..." She couldn't say anything to defend herself.
"Didn't have time? How could you not have time? You had the whole weekend!" Mr. Calculus bellowed.
"Well, I had to do my other classes'..." Yohina didn't get to finish.
"Other classes? What other classes? You are failing this class! Do I have to flunk you?" Mr. Calculus hollered at her. Yohina felt her face turning red. She knew that the whole class was looking at her. Yet, she couldn't lift her face to meet any of their eyes. The truth was, she hadn't do any of her homework at all.
"I'm sorry..." Yohina muttered as she felt the tears in her eyes.
"Go to your counselor and solve this. I don't have time for you!"
Yohina rushed out of the room quickly. She gulped down her tears as she ran to the restroom. She would be in trouble without a pass, but who cares? She didn't. Suddenly, the coldness returned. Again, she lost her power. She didn't understand. Where did it go? She felt lost. It was fifteen minutes later when she finally walked out of the restroom with composure.
She headed toward Ms. Johnson's office. Ms. Johnson didn't ask her for a pass. She guessed that Ms. Johnson knew what was going on.
"So...how do you explain?" Ms. Johnson asked.
"I didn't do it. I didn't have the heart to."
"Didn't have the heart to? How could you say that? If you don't get through this year, you know we'll have to fail you. Do you want that?"
"I don't, but I couldn't do anything. Every time I saw those homework, my head hurts and I couldn't think. I would just stare at them and do nothing."
"You need a tutor to urge you, Yohina."
"No I don't. Besides, I don't think anybody would want to tutor me. All of my friends are busy with their works and most of the seniors hate me for some reason. It wasn't like I know them. They just hate me."
"No they don't. That's only what you think. Anyway, go to the cluster leader of one of the senior teachers. They'll probably ask someone to help you."
"But I don't need any..."
"You do. Now go! I want to see your grades improving next week. If you don't do it, I would call your parents. I should've called them last week."
Yohina had no choice but to go. She didn't want her parents to know, but she didn't want a tutor either. For the rest of the day, she avoided everyone. Her friends could see that she wanted to be alone so they left her alone.
At the end of the day, she went to the one senior teacher she knew, Mrs. Jones, and asked for her help.
"I'm surprised, Yohina. I would never thought you would need a tutor, especially at this time of the year." Mrs. Jones looked at her weirdly as Yohina finished explaining her situation.
"Well...Lately...I've been feeling weird, so I just couldn't do anything..." Again, Yohina couldn't finish her words. It seemed that she suddenly has problem speaking now.
"I think I have someone to tutor you, but you wouldn't like it."
"Can I get Jason? He's the only senior that's not mean to me."
Mrs. Jones shook her head. "Jason is too busy tutoring her own brother." She said.
"Kevin? He'll be OK." Yohina begged.
"No. Kevin's busy tutoring two other students. You may not know it, but there are a lot of students getting tutors. The third year of high school is the busiest one and you are flunking it. The only one I can ask to tutor you is Kyle and Scott."
"Then I'll get Scott." Yohina decided quickly.
"I can do it." Without their noticing, Kyle had walked into the room unnoticed. He smiled at Yohina as he slung his backpack on one of the front desks.
"There you have it, Yohina." Mrs. Jones gave her a little smile.
"But Scott's nicer. I don't want him to be my tutor! He's going to laugh at me." Yohina didn't mind calling Kyle mean. He knew what she would say anyway.
"Scott's busy. He got himself a student on Friday, at Jason's party." Kyle said carelessly.
"Then I don't want one. Please, just not him!" Yohina begged.
"Would you be reasonable? Am I really that mean? You are the one who always start our fights and you are the one who wouldn't apologize no matter what!" Kyle lost his temper.
"Shut up! No one is talking to you! It's my choice! Besides, you don't want to tutor me anyway! I'm stupid and dumb! I'll never learn a thing! Got that? I'm just wasting your time!" Yohina didn't mind calling herself stupid and dumb. As long as she could get away from Kyle, it'll be fine, just not flunking 11th grade.
"I'm sorry. It's not your choice, Yohina. Kyle is your tutor!" Mrs. Jones butted in.
"But I..."
"No 'buts', Yohina. Now go home. The rest is up to you guys. I hope the two of you could be a little mature about this. Kyle, you be responsible. If her grades is not back to normal in two weeks, you are in trouble." Mrs. Jones muttered.
"Sure..." Kyle grumbled and threw a dirty look at Yohina. She gave him the same disgusting look back.
She cried without reason once she got back home. It was just that she felt like crying. That was all. Why did she have to get Kyle? It could be anybody, just not him. Oh god, she hates him. Again, that was for no reason. It was just when they first met, they've hated each other.
Then, the phone rang. She picked it up as she wiped away the tears on her face.
"Hello?" It was Kyle.
"What do you want?" She asked coldly.
"I was just wondering when would be a good time for the tutoring."
No answer.
"I know you don't want to have the tutorials in your house because of your parents. So I was thinking maybe every Tuesday and Friday night after school."
"When the heck did you become so considerate of other people?" She wanted to say that, but thought better of it. "How am I suppose to get there? Besides, I don't think Friday nights would be such a great idea." She said.
"Oh, it'll be fine. I can cancel all of my plans."
"And why is that?" She thought, again she didn't say it out loud.
"Oh, we can have the tutorials right after school. I'll drive us to my house and then back to yours after the tutorial."
"I...I guess that's OK."
"Well, then see you tomorrow. Do your homework for once, will ya?"
Yohina wanted to scream at him with all of her anger, but she just slammed the phone down really hard.
