I would like to thank all who reviewed my story so far, you guys (and gals) are great. Also I forgot to mention that the title Grave Robbers 3: Damian's Revenge is a made-up title. No such game exists, at least not that I know of. One more thing, I know there's been a lot of dialogue and not much action. I promise to put more action and romance into this and future chapters.
Disclaimer: See chapter 1
Since I really have nothing left to say let's get started with chapter 3:
Math lessons lead to lessons in life
We join Ron and Bonnie at the Stoppable's kitchen table doing their math homework.
"I think I got the right answer to question number 3" Ron announced.
"Let me see" Bonnie said. "You're not even close!" she yelled.
"I told you math was my weakest subject" Ron protested
"I didn't think it was that weak"
"I have a mental block when it comes to math"
"More like a log jam if you ask me"
"Lay off, Bon-Bon" he said agitated.
"Don't call me that!" she yelled.
"Alright, then where did I go wrong with this problem?"
"The part where you picked up your pencil and tried to think"
"Hey! If you're just going to sit there and make fun of me then you can just leave!" Ron said angrily. Bonnie was surprised and a little nervous at this point because she had never really seen Ron angry before.
"Calm down Ron, you're starting to frighten me a little" Ron closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
"I'm sorry, I lost my head for a moment. It's just that I'm a little anxious about this class. There's the midterm coming up later this semester and it's worth 30 of my grade."
"Ron, relax, you will pass this class if it kills you, or me"
"You do realize you've called me Ron twice now right?"
"Really? I guess all those insults took away my bitterness, for now at least"
"What do you mean?"
"You don't want to hear about my problems"
"Talking helps"
"I don't want to talk about it" she said anger rising. But Ron being the oblivious dope he is didn't notice.
"You shouldn't keep things bottled up" Ron pressed.
"I said I'm not talking about my fucking problems!" she snapped. Ron looked down depressed. "I'm sorry, it's just I don't really like to talk about personal issues with anyone"
"That's ok, just remember, if you need to talk I'm always available. You have my home number right?" "Yes, incase something comes up and I have to cancel a tutoring session"
"Great, in fact here's my cell number incase I'm not home" he said as he wrote down his cell number and handed it to her.
"Thanks, I think"
"Think nothing of it, but don't you think we should get back to work?" Bonnie looked at the clock. "Oh, crap! It's almost 4:30 and we barely got started!"
"Don't worry, we'll do what we can before 5 and then I'll finish it solo" Bonnie looked at him a moment. "Tell you what; I'll stay until we finish this homework"
"Are you sure? I mean, my parents are only paying for an hour"
"Yes I'm sure, consider it a freebie"
"Thanks Bonnie" From here they concentrated on the home work with nothing of particular interest happening. So, we'll skip over to Felix's house where Kim happens to be hanging out with Felix. They were playing MLB 2K5 on Felix's PS2. Kim was the Colorado Rockies, and Felix was the St. Louis Cardinals
"It's the bottom of the seventh, 1 on, 1 out, a 2-1 count, and it's a 5-3 lead for the Cardinals" Felix said in his announcer voice. "And here's the pitch…" "And it's a long fly ball" Kim said. "Ooh caught just short of the warning track, nice try"
"I'm thirsty" remarked Kim.
"Me too, can you get me a soda?"
"Sure, anything in particular?"
"Nah, anything's good" Kim walked into the kitchen where Felix's mom, Helen, was sitting at the table looking over some cyber robotic schematics. (AN: I'm not sure if they ever mentioned Felix's last name, or his mom's first name so if anyone knows for sure please tell me so I can fix the mistake for your benefit)
"How's it going?" Kim asked.
"Fine and you?"
"I'm good. Bringing your work home with you?"
"Yeah, I'm trying to figure this damn thing out"
"Anything I can do to help?"
"I don't think so, it's hard for even me to understand and I'm an expert"
"I'm sure you'll figure it out, you and Felix are very bright people"
"Funny you should compliment him like that"
"Why is that?"
"Because he thinks very highly of you"
"Really?"
"Yes, he talks about you a lot"
"All good things I hope"
"Of course, he thinks you're smart, funny, beautiful, talented, and an all around nice person" Kim's cheeks turned redder and redder with each compliment until her face and hair were almost identical in color.
"I better get back to Felix before his soda gets warm" Kim said trying to compose herself. Just then the phone rang startling them both.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's Ron, can I talk to Felix?"
"Hold on a sec"
"Who is it?"
"Ron"
"Can I talk to him for a second?"
"Sure"
"Hey Ron" Kim said.
"Felix, what happened to your voice? Did you inhale helium again?"
"What is that supposed to mean?" Kim said defensively.
"Chill I was just messing with you KP" Ron replied.
"So what's up?"
"Nothing much just my tutoring session ran long so I won't make it over there to play video games today. So if you could tell Felix for me that would be great"
"You got it. By the way, who's your tutor?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you"
"Try me" Kim could then hear talking in the background, though she couldn't tell what was said or who was saying it.
"Sorry KP I got to go, I'll talk to you tomorrow, bye"
"Later"
"Who was on the phone?" said a familiar voice. Kim turned around to see Felix sitting in the doorway
"That was Ron, he can't make it today"
"Aw, and I was hoping to beat him at video games. Speaking of which, are we going to finish our game so I can celebrate my soon to be victory already?" This set off Kim's competitive instincts.
"I'm going to take you down faster than an NBC sitcom" Felix started laughing at the bold statement.
"You talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?" This left the door open for an easy slam about his inability to walk, but Kim being the good natured person she is couldn't make it.
"You'd better believe it"
(10 minutes later)
"And it's over ladies and gents! Felix has led his team to victory!" Kim was a little disappointed about her 7-4 loss to Felix, especially considering she had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the ninth only to hit into a game-ending double play.
"Good game, by the way, what took you so long in the kitchen?"
"I was talking to your mom"
"What about?" The question made Kim start to blush as she remembered her conversation with Helen. Felix, of course noticed.
"Something wrong?" Felix asked concerned.
"NO...I mean no nothings wrong. Why do you ask?"
"Because your blushing like you saw me in my underwear" This statement caused Kim's entire face to go red.
"Thanks for that visual"
"Happy to help" Kim then looked at the clock.
"It's a little after 6, I'd better get going. I'll see you tomorrow, bye Helen"
"Bye Kim" she called from the kitchen.
"See you later" Felix said. "Thanks for coming over"
"No big, Ron was at tutoring, Monique was working, and the cheer squad had the day off, so it was either this or hang out with my destructive brothers"
"I'm glad you chose the first one"
"So am I, goodbye" As Kim left she couldn't help but wonder about a few things.
'Does Felix like me? And if so, do I like him too? I wonder how Ron managed to survive his first day of tutoring. Oh well I'll ask him tomorrow' What Kim didn't know was that a lone figure in a wheelchair was watching her go.
"You should really tell her how you feel" said Helen as she walked into the room.
"I can't risk it, mom"
"Risk what?"
"Our friendship. If I tell her how I feel she might never speak to me again, and that would hurt more then the car accident that killed dad and permanently put me in this god forsaken wheelchair"
"Trust me honey she likes you I can tell"
"I'm afraid to ask why"
"Call it woman's intuition, now come on dinners ready" What none of our hero's knew was that in a couple of weeks things were going to change considerably.
So, what did you think of the latest installment of The Tutor? Tell me in your reviews, and if you have any suggestions, ideas, or constructive criticism please don't hesitate to tell me. Until I write the next chapter, have a good morning, afternoon, evening, and/or night, depending on when you read this. Also, this should give you a pretty good idea of where I'm going couples wise but we'll see what happens next. Until then, I love you guys, Peace.
