I am currently trying to study for my History Final, which is in a week.
I don't have to worry about the other finals, because I happen to have A's in all of those other classes and don't have to take the finals!
Ugh, but history class is another story.
Damn you, Mr. Barns, why do you have to torture me?
I'm going over the main terms in chapter eleven but nothing is being imprinted in my head, no matter how many times I read it over.
This. Is. Hopeless.
I glance out the window, wishing it was a sunny day so I could go up in my tree and think.
Then suddenly, I'm struck by an idea.
I grab my book and run down the stairs, tripping and bruising my knees twice on the way down. As I turn the corner, I bump into the very person I am looking for.
Okay, so maybe I didn't bump him, maybe I knocked us both flat with my tiny height. Either way, it wasn't fun.
"Oh my God, I am so sorry Indiana." I say, hoisting myself off the floor.
"It's okay." He grunts, clutching his nose painfully.
"Um...I've been looking for you." I say dumbly, holding my text book to my chest.
"And how may I be of service?" He says, giving a slight nod.
I take a deep breath, (this isn't kind of thing I'm used to doing, asking a man for help) . "I need you to tutor me. My history final is coming up and if I don't pass it, I really don't know what the hell I will do because I'll be stuck in summer school and my life will be ruined." I say, trying really hard not to sound whiny.
I expect him to not say anything. To walk away and ignore the stupid seventeen year old girl completely.
"Sure, I'll tutor you." He says, giving me a smile. "When do you want me to?"
At first I'm speechless, but I manage to find my voice. "Um... how about every night at six for a week. My final is in a week."
"Sure. I'll see you tonight Marion." He says, turning with a light grin.
I remain in the hallway as he walks away, the most dazed of expressions on my face.
Well then...that wasn't as hard as I thought.
Special shout out to a anonymous reviewer who goes by the name of Morgaine, sorry for not updating yesterday, but I was working on today's batch of shorts!
