Hello, lovely people! This may be my last quickly updated chapter because school will be starting for me soon. So enjoy!

Annabella tapped irritably on her locker door, pretending to look through its contents. She was really just standing there waiting for someone to walk by. When she saw him, her eyes locked on her target.

"Dante!" The boy stopped on the recognition of name and the matching of the voice then sighed very audibly. He turned himself around and rose an eyebrow at his younger sister.

"What?" Annabella frowned at his curt attitude but continued to beckon him closer.

"I need your help," she whispered.

"Is that such a secret that you have to whisper it?" Dante asked.

"I don't claim defeat, Danny-boy," Annabella said with a smile. Dante rolled his eyes.

"That's funny seeing that you are often defeated by the Kid Vincible guy," Dante mumbled under his breath. Annabella eyed her brother for a quick second before continuing the conversation.

"Are you going to help me or not?"

"What am I helping you with?" Annabella sighed and rolled her eyes.

"I need you," she whispered, "to sit by me at lunch." Dante rose his eyebrow.

"Why?"

"So Devin doesn't come and waste my lunch away, droning on about things to which I already know the answer." Dante smirked.

"You should have did your work," Dante said smugly. Annabella scowled.

"I didn't want to do the work but Devin's getting annoying." Dante shrugged.

"Not my problem." Dante started to walk away but Annabella grabbed his arm.

"Dante!"

"Look, as much as I would love to help you, I have my own group to sit with."

"Like who?" Annabella's eyes narrowed. Dante would have been scared of this but those fake glasses made her look more like an evil librarian so he just smiled.

"She's coming down the hallway as we speak."

"She?" Dante pointed in the direction from where this mystery girl was coming. Annabella didn't know who it was until a girl walked up and hugged Dante. Annabella frowned and eyes her. This mystery girl had shoulder length black hair, almond eyes, and slightly tanned skin. She wore a lavender blouse and jeans. She also looked older than him. When they finished, Dante turned to Annabella.

"Hannah, this is Hana." Annabella looked into the slightly taller girl's eyes. She was obviously of Japanese but no one else would get that unless they asked.

"It's very nice to finally meet your younger sister, Dante." Dante nodded.

"Yeah, but she's anything but." Dante said, earning a glared from his sister. "You can go on ahead, I'll catch up." Hana nodded and started to walk away. Dante then turned to his heated sister with a smug smile.

"She's a senior."

"I got that."

"Right, right. You are a genius. Trying to get to that sociopath status, Sherlock?"

"Shut up," Annabella said as she crossed her arms.

"Well, either way, it will be you and Devin at that lunch table today and everytime after that. Goodbye!" Dante said, running to catch up with Hana. Annabella then clenched her fist and wanted to bang her head into the locker but, instead, she sighed, and closed the locker only to find Devin on the other side.

"Hello, Anna." Devin said with a smile.

"Leave me alone," Annabella hissed and started to walk away but turned back to hiss, "...and don't called me Anna!"

"One, no can do on the leaving you alone. It's kind of my job to tutor you."

"Make it not your job!"

"Two, you're not making this any easier for me. I can't teach you if you refuse to learn."

"That's kind of the point!" Annabella yelled back.

"And three," Devin grabbed Annabella by her hand, turned her around, and pulled her close to him. Annabella's eyes shot up to his eyes, trying to read his emotions. They were so close that they breathing the air, so close that she felt his tingly breath dancing upon her face. Then she noticed that the boy's lip curled into a smile, "I think Anna is a very cute nickname for you." Annabella scoffed and backed away from him then walked away.

Annabella wanted to bang her head against the lunchroom table as Devin continued attempting to tutor her. She had to admit he was very persistent and not very keen on giving up. He would, she guesses, continue to attempt to tutor her even when it seems impossible to learn. Annabella smiled. She going to have fun torturing this kid if she can make it. She had stop listening to this boy about twenty minutes ago but caught part of what he was saying.

"That isn't correct," she said, glancing up to Devin. Devin stopped what he was doing and looked at Annabella.

"Excuse me?"

"What you're doing is moles to mass when you should be doing is liters to moles." Annabella grabbed the paper Devin was using to show his work and scribbled her work all over it. When she finished, she pushed the paper back over to him. Devin rose an eyebrow but checked the work.

"That's correct," Devin said in disbelief. Annabella gave a smug smile.

"Doy," she said, leaning back in her chair.

"But if you know how to do it, why is it..."

"That my grades are so low? Because I don't do the work. I do enough to get by."

"But you barely showed your work on the paper so most of it you did in head."

"Oops, didn't mean to do that," Annabella said, mentally cursing herself for not showing more work. Devin looked over and cocked his head to the side.

"Why am I tutoring you?" Devin asked.

"I would ask you the same question but I already know the answer."

"How about this," Devin suggested, "Everytime you have an assignment in a class, just do one more problem than what you'll normally do, then do one more than that time. You'll be out of tutoring in no time." Devin smiled. Annabella looked at Devin.

"I think that a bit too much effort for me," Annabella sighed.

"Can you at least try for me?" Devin asked, "This has been the longest month of my life."

"Dealing with you hasn't been a picnic either and I don't do anything for anyone." Annabella stood up from her chair. "And how do you expect to tutor anyone if don't know what you're tutoring?"

"It's called a mistake, Anna."

"And you keep making one by calling me Anna."

"It's cute to me." Devin said with a smile. Annabella frowned.

"I'm not cute."

"My apologies," Devin said, "You're beautiful. Now, can you do what I asked of you?" Annabella smiled.

"Not in your lifetime," she said before walking away.
