1st Period: Math Class
"Alrighty class settle down now! Today we have a new student. , please introduce yourself." Said the teacher. As I walked up to the front of the room, I felt my heart begin to pound. With everyone starring at me, I began to fell self cautious.
"M-My name is Li Satoko. I was from Japan, b-but, I moved to A-America when I was three." I stuttered with my face being a bright crimson color. "Umm, Miss. Satoko, would you mind if you would sit by Kevin, since you two seem to have met already?" asked the teacher. I nodded my head in approval and then walked to my seat. As I made my way to my seat, I noticed a set of eyes starring in my direction, with lust in his eyes. He then looked my up and down and then winked at me. I began to fell my blood rush to my checks until I heard and uncomfortable grunt from behind. When I saw where the sound was coming from, I saw Kevin looking a bit aggravated. When we made eye contact, he looked away quickly.
"Alright class! Today, we will be learning about Theoretical probability. , you may not know this, how about you can ask Kevin to help you out a bit?" said the teacher. I looked up at him and stood up *It's what I use to do at my old school.* to answer his request. "I-I already know a-about it." I uttered out. "Well then, please, give me the logical definition of Theoretical Probability." He asked sounding a bit interested.
"Ummm, Theoretical probability-The ratio of the number of equally alike outcomes in an event to the total number of possible outcomes." I said. Realizing that the entire class was starring in amazement, I sat down in my seat hastily and began to look down to the ground to hide my red face. "I'm impressed ! May I have a word with you after class?"
"Sure, whatever." Said Kevin causally. I nodded in agreement and then began learning about today's lesson. I began to losses interest into class, due to the fact that I have already learned about it, I decided to stare out of the window at the little canary singing a joyful melody. ", now I understand that you've already learned about this course, but you're going to have to participate with the rest of the class now." He said meaningfully. I snapped out of my daydream and began to participate with the class.
RRRRIIIINNNGGGGGG
Screamed the first period bell. I then got up from my seat almost out of the door, before the teacher called my name.
"Yes?" I asked kind of worried about being late to my second class on the first day of school. "I was wondering, since you have an above average grade in school, why don't you tutor Kevin, every Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays after school. I mean unless you want to" He managed to say. I then gave him a bright smile and then said: "I wouldn't mind to tutor him; I really don't have anything to do." I said gratefully. He then smiled at me and then began to shake my hand uncontrollably. "Thank-you so much, ! His grades were really low, and I was concerned about him failing! Thank-you so much! You two can get extra credit on test if he gets every question right." He said joyously. I then chuckled nervously and then got my pass to my next class.
Second Period: English Class.
My second class of the day arrived in a heart beat when I saw Nazz and Johnny sitting next to each other with an empty seat by them. "Hey Apple! Sit over here!" said Johnny. I sighed nervously and made my way to my seat. "So, how's your first day coming along?" asked Nazz. "Everything is fine; I have to tutor Kevin every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday." I said it as if I have forgotten something. "Cool! Don't mind if I can come? I really need help in science." She said sounding kind of worried on her last sentence. I nodded and then continued to pay attention to the teacher.
"Li, do you mind if you can read to us your poem that you have worked on?" she asked with a bit of interest in her tone I nodded in agreement and then turned into a bright red when I got in front of the class to read my haiku.
I think of myself as a snowflake.
The Cold season was when I arrived
Even in the brutal weather conditions
I still remain as I am
Thus when the spring arrives
That is when my life shall come to an end
As I finished, I closed my eyes and held my paper close to my face to hide my face from the rainbows of reds it was turning into. Almost a minute late I heard a round of applauses from the whole class. "Very good! Bravo, Li! You should be in our poetry club, here's the information paper, and please let me know as soon as possible!" she said excitedly. Felt my face tone down a bit and then went back to my seat.
"That was great Li! Where did you learn to do that?" asked Nazz in amazement. "Ummm I was taught how to read when I was two, and continued from there." I said shyly. "Can ya' teach me and plank about poetry?" Asked Johnny excitedly. I then broke into a sweat and then agreed to his request. "Cool! Welp See ya later!" Said Johnny with a jovial smile on his face.
After School: At Li's House.
*ding dong* "Ganbawa!" I said cheerfully, when I opened the door. When I got a good view of the figure in the door, I began to blush. It was Kevin who was at the door blushing. "Hey, umm, Apple thanks for tutoring me. Really appreciate it." Said Kevin. He was looking down at the ground with his hat tilted in front of his face. "Can I come in?" he asked, this time while looking up. "Sure come in," I stepped out of the way and let him enter.
"Nice place you got here." He said complementally. "Thanks…" I mumbled.
"So, what do you need tutoring on? I mean ummm- in math class, like uhh what lesson do you need help on?"
"Umm- well I need help on the uhh, the theoretical probability thing."
"Okay, oh! I almost forgot, can you please take your shoes off. It's Japanese etiquette." I said nervously as I guided him to the living room. After he took his shoes off, he took out his note book and opened it to today's lesson. "So what don't you get about it?" I asked in curiosity. "Well I don't get how the numbers are suppose to be the same outcome."
"Oh, that's easy, you just…." It's been about 4 hours since I've been teaching- I mean "Tutoring" Kevin about theoretical probability, and I had caught him starring at me a couple of times. When we made eye contact, we both blushed and looked away. A couple of times I dropped my pencil and when I tried to get it off of the floor, we both touched hands. He was the fastest one to remove his hand from mine.
"So do you get it now?" I asked, sounding a little happy. He gave me a warm smile and then said: "Sure, I totally understand it now. Thanks a lot Apple." He then opened up his arms and then gave me a hug. My eyes began to widen to his action, it's my first time ever being hugged by a boy in my life. When he let go of me, he held my wrist and looked me straight in my eye and said: "So, ummm wanna go out for a smoothie sometime this Saturday?" He asked sounding kind of excited; I nodded my head in agreement, still blushing in surprise.
"Great! I'll pick you up around at 2:30'ish? Unless it's fine with you."
"Sure, it's totally fine by me."
"Awesome! Later!" he walked out of the door and waved while I was starring after him; my face a completely new shade of red…
