I was waiting on my phone to charge and decided that I should take this opportunity to type up another chapter. So, here goes.

After Class
Jazmine's POV
"So, Ms. Dubois, would you like to explain yourself. I would ask Mr. Freeman but I'd honestly rather not hear his mouth," Mr. Waters' said leaning back in his rolling chair.
Huey huffed, "I hope you fall," Huey muttered under his breath.
Mr. Waters' ears turned red as he sat back up. I spoke quickly," Well Mr. Waters', Huey and I were not talking he was simply turned around staring at me." I glanced at Huey with wide eyes as I realized the implication of what I had just said.
He was glaring at me as though he wanted to say something that would most likely have me crying myself to sleep tonight, when Mr. Waters' spoke up causing both of us to look at him.
"Well Ms. Dubois from the way your grades are steadily dropping in my class I am just going to assume you were staring at him as well." Huey nodded triumphantly at him, for once agreeing with our African American history teacher. His face quickly fell with his next sentence though. "I would just like to know what Mr. Freeman looks at during his Calculus class because he's failing in that course."
"I would like to know how that is any of your concern Waters," he said folding his arms. I looked at him head on. He had never done bad in a math class before he had helped me when we were still talking in eighth grade with Pre-Algebra.
He looked back at me and raised his eyebrow, "Can I help you Dubois?"
I silently looked back at Mr. Waters'. No need to be a dick about it.
"Okay, that is more than enough from both of you," Had I thought that out loud. "First and foremost, Mr. Freeman I expect you to treat me with as much respect as I show you. My name is Mr. Waters," he said enunciating each part of his formal name, "and you will address me as such."
Huey rolled his eyes. "Whatever, Lake."
Mr. Waters' slammed his hand on the desk causing me to jump. "Shut it, Mr. Freeman," taking a second to regain his composure he addressed us both, "Secondly, I suggest that you two start getting along because you will be spending a lot of time together."
"What," we both shouted.
"Yes, Mr. Freeman's Calculus teacher and I were discussing our worst students and it only make sense that the best in my class and the best in her class tutor each other to bring grades up. We will be checking grades to ensure that the tutoring is going well and if they don't you both will receive F's in both classes." Mr. Waters' sat back with a smile on his face looking very pleased with himself.
I raised my hand to speak, "Mr. Waters' is there anyone else that can tutor us. Me and Huey have a past and I would rather not work with him."
"It's Huey and I, idiot."
I looked at him incredulously. "See! He's insufferable. Please let me just try harder I promise to do better."
Unfortunately for me he just shook his head. "I am afraid I cannot allow it because If you could do better I am almost certain that you would. Now, please leave my classroom. I have another class coming in and you two have talked straight through my lunch."
"If I could just interject…"
"No Mr. Freeman, get out of my classroom and take Ms. Dubois with you."
Huey huffed and walked out abruptly and I followed behind him slowly. This day sucked. I had to spend time with one of the people who hated me most in the world for some unknown godforsaken reason and I had missed lunch.
