Homework Helper

*First day back at school after half term holiday*

Carrie and Melody are walking down the corridor talking about what they did over the holidays.

"My mum was so annoying every second I had free she was making me go to the gym with her and train. I was starting to use any excuse to get out of it I even did my homework just so I couldn't go, I mean me home work" Carrie was complaining.

"Wow Carrie you did all your homework I didn't know that was even possible" Melody joked.

"Yea yea we can't all be super smart like you and rose" They both laugh.

Carrie suddenly stops "Oh talking of Rose I said I'd meet her in the library before class to talk about our science presentation see you in class"

Carrie runs off leaving Melody to walk through the crowds alone till she see's Oscar standing at a windowsill writing on lots of papers at once.

"Hey Osc"

"Hu oh right hi Melody" He doesn't look up at all away from the papers.

As Melody walks closer she can see it's all his home work papers he is trying to do in a rush.

"Did you do any homework this week?"

"I was busy I hung out with you Rose and Carrie"

"Two days for only a few hours out of Five days were you playing that stupid new car game you were talking about I warned you this would happen if you sat around just playing that"

"It doesn't matter I don't understand any of this stupid stuff anyway Mrs King is going to kill me" He leans his head on the wall next to him.

Melody puts her hand on his arm.

"Oscar this homework doesn't have to be in till tomorrow how about I help you"

He quickly looks at her "You will?"

"Yes Osc if you would have just asked for help I would have given it to you"

"Ok ok I know I should know better so when shall we start"

"How about you come to mine after school we can take breaks between subjects easier and I'll even get some drinks and snacks"

"Sounds like a plan a very good plan better than mine to let Mrs King kill me"

"I'd never let her kill you"

"Really?" he smiles at her

"Of course if she did that we would have to go through all the trouble of finding a new team member and that's a lot of paper work and I wouldn't have anyone to make fun of"

"Thanks nice to know I mean that much to you"

He crosses his arms and frowns which just makes Melody laugh till he can't keep it up and laughs too.

"Ok so we best get ready for class pack all your papers away like a good little boy"

He smiles and shakes his head while he picks up all his papers and puts them in his locker across from him.

"So Oscar you ready to deal with Avril"

"Oh great I have that stress now, then PE later"

"With her in our class even worse"

He looks at Melody

"Oscar don't give me that look I mean do you see the way she stares when you're in your PE kit it's really weird I had to be paired with her once she didn't do anything"

"Thanks for telling me another reason to feel awkward in those shorts"

"Awwwww is little Oscar body shy"

He looks at his locker

"Oh my gosh you are Oscar there's no reason to be your in better shape than most of the guys in there I mean leg wise anyway not that I look at your legs I mean you must because of all the running and working out we have to do"

He starts to smile being able to hear how awkward she's feeling just by how fast she is talking. He puts a hand on her shoulder.

"Ok ok stop talking thanks your right all the working out we do we have to be the best in shape in that gym"

She smiles "Now class"

They walk along to class just as the bell rings.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

*after the final school bell*

Melody stands at Oscar's locker waiting for him and Avril has the same idea to try to get some time to talk to Oscar but when she gets there she sees Melody standing there.

"Melody what are you doing here? This is Oscar's locker"

"Yea I know he told me to wait here"

"Oh right why is that?"

"I'm going to help him with his homework that's not illegal helping a friend"

Melody starts to back into the lockers more and more scared that Avril will try to kill her.

"He asked for your help did he surprising since I'm his partner in most lessons"

Oscar comes up to get his things. Avril stand in front of him.

"You know that's fine Oscar I thought I was your partner but fine why would you want my help when you have her I guess what we have will have to stay in lessons if you're going round asking just anyone for help and not even considering me" She storms off leaving Oscar very confused

"Mel what was that"

"I'm really not sure"

He gets all his papers out his locker and they walk to the bus stop laughing and talking and when the bus comes they get on together and sit next to each other on the empty bus and it starts to rain heavily just as it comes up to the stop.

"Just my luck it looked really nice this morning so I didn't bring a coat did you Osc"

"Nope so I guess we leg it to your house"

They stand up go to the doors and as soon as they open they take very tight hold of their bags and run as fast as they can. Oscar running a little behind so he can follow Melody round the corners. As soon as they get to Melody's House she drops her keys a few times from the amount of water falling on them but she get the door unlocked and as soon as it open they rush in and start laughing.

"We can put our bags down here I'll go get us some towels wait here"

She runs upstairs and comes down with two big towels and she hands one to Oscar who drapes it around his shoulders and she does the same pulling her hair out to lie over the towel and she starts shivering.

"You cold?" Oscar thoughtfully asks.

She shrugs "Maybe a little"

"Well normally I would give you a jacket but I think this will have to do"

He stands close and starts to rub her arms to try to warm her up. She looks up at him and smiles, he returns the smile.

Softly he asks "That any better?"

She nods slowly and replies just as softly as he asked "Yea a little thanks"

"Well maybe what's best is for you to change out of these wet clothes and get dry why don't you go and do that while I get the papers out ready"

"Ok good idea"

She points him to the living room and runs upstairs and gets changed and puts her hair up in a bun and comes down with a smaller towel over her shoulders.

"Oscar why don't u get changed too"

"Into what"

"Well you have your PE kit change into that and I'll put out uniforms in the dryer"

"Ok well ummm "

"Don't worry I'll go wait in the kitchen till you're changed"

He smiles "Thanks"

She goes through to the kitchen and closes the doors slightly but as she is walking around she notices the door isn't closed all the way and goes the close it but through the crack in the door can see Oscar standing there in his boxers getting his clothes out his PE bag and she can't help but stare at the very surprising muscular form in her living room.

She knew Oscar was stronger than he looked but she didn't think he was that hot under that shirt. It was slightly strange but that didn't stop her from looking not that she could stop, it was a way she had not seen Oscar before. He started to put his PE Kit on and with his back now to the Kitchen door he never noticed Melody standing there.

"Mel I'm done"

That snapped her out of it but she couldn't get that image out of her head as she acted like she opened the doors.

"Right well I'll put your uniform in with mine and dry it out, can't have you going home with wet clothes"

"Yea thanks"

He hands her his clothes and she takes them and puts them in the dryer.

Oscar walks into the kitchen just as she turns it on.

"So ummm Oscar do you want a drink?"

"Sure if it's not too much trouble"

"You hot or cold" she thinks she knows how that sounded in her mind and immediately try's to fix it "oh ummm no I meant the drink do you want a hot or cold drink"

Oscar looks slightly concerned

"Well if it's not a problem a hot drink please I am pretty cold still"

"you look hot form what I see" she realises what she said and once again try's to fix it "I mean you don't look cold in particular well I don't know how u feel but I wouldn't have guessed you were cold from just looking at you not that I was but I am now and wouldn't say u look cold or hot for that matter but you know you look warm and right"

She turns to hide her face going red and boil the kettle.

"Melody are you alright?"

"Yea sorry I'm fine I guess the cold is going to my head so there's Tea, hot chocolate, coffee"

He smiles and stands beside her

"Well as long as you keep this secret I am a sucker for a good hot chocolate"

"Me too I love it" Melody smiles

"But Mel For me there's only one way to have it served though"

"Cream and marshmallows?"

"Ok you have got to be physic"

Melody laughs and gets the cream and marshmallow's and makes them both a big cup of hot chocolate which they carry very carefully to the living room and they sit on the floor.

"Ok Oscar where do you want to start?"
