Well, I guess it's time for another update. Hope you guys like chapter 7!
School was a blur for Freddy the next day. He was really tired, and wanted to get the tutoring over as soon as possible.
At least I'm not dreading it as much as yesterday, he thought with a yawn.
Finally, the last bell of the day rang. Everyone rushed out of the classroom and to their lockers. After putting what he needed in his backpack, Freddy ran out to the car. He was all too eager to get home.
As expected, around four o'clock the doorbell rang. Freddy went to answer it.
"What's crackin'?", he asked Summer as he let her in.
Summer gave him a funny look and tried not to laugh.
"Um, nothing much. What's "crackin" with you?"
"Same. Ready to get this tutoring over with."
"Wow, I feel special!", Summer cried cynically.
"I'm just tired."
She nodded. "Right... well, let's get started then."
They walked toward his room, and once they entered, started spreading books out on the floor.
"Okay, this chapter is about acids and bases. We're supposed to do an experiment where we take household items and find out whether they are acids are bases. We take the pH paper Mrs. Collins gave us and dip it in the item. Then we take it and put it to the color wheel, matching the colors to the number. If the number is between 1 and 6, it's an acid. If it's between 8 and 12, it's a base. 7 is neutral, meaning that the pH balance is even." Summer explained.
Freddy just nodded. "Riiight."
They began the experiment. After a few minutes, Freddy seemed to get the idea. And it was actually pretty fun. It seemed that maybe with Summer's help he would be able to grasp this science thing after all.
Homework completed, Summer got up to head out the door. She shrugged, a half-smile on her face.
"Guess I'll see you at school tomorrow... you don't have tutoring so that should make you happy."
"Yeah, see you then." Freddy told her.
She started walking out the door.
"Summer?" he asked.
She turned around. "Yeah?'
"Tutoring's not that bad..." he grinned.
All she could do was smile in return.
