*Drew's POV*

I couldn't take my mind of Adelle after I left History. Trust me I wanted to though. It was like when you hear a song on the radio in the morning, and then all day it's stuck in your head. And it's not that she wasn't a great girl or anything; it's just that I didn't want to mess her life up too.

And even though I was pretending I didn't, I wondered what she thought of me. Most likely she was thinking I was some stupid idiot who was still in History 10. But maybe these thoughts weren't too far off. Ever since Alli, aka my tutor, had left I was failing almost all my classes. Even though I knew she'd probably already formed an awful opinion about me I really wanted to see her again, and my opportunity drew nearer and nearer as the clock ticked away.

Finally to my relief the bell for lunch rang. I grabbed my food at sat down at the usual lunch table which consisted of KC and Jenna. I really despised sitting at that table. All they ever talked about was the baby and all the dates they had planned to go on. Sitting there was fine before Alli left because we did the same thing, well minus the baby of course, but now I couldn't do anything but sit there being the third wheel.

I heard the click clack of high heels to my left and I turned to see a very confused Adelle trying to find somewhere to sit; she looked like a deer in the headlights. "Adelle," I said calling her name and putting on my classic Drew smile. She smiled at me and I could tell she was really relived to have found a familiar face.

"Hey," she said happily as she slid onto the bench with me.

"Well hello there beautiful," I replied. KC and Jenna gave us an awkward stare and I quickly introduced them to her. They met her quickly, but then hurriedly left because of some appointment they were going to be late to, which left me and Adelle alone.

I brought up random topics, and we were able to carry on a conversation easily, which surprised me because she had seemed so shy earlier. Eventually however she asked the question I was dreading. "So," she said "what were you doing in a history class for sophomores?"

"Oh," I replied "well umm I kind of failed it last year, and haven't been able to bring up my grade since." I expected her to tell me how stupid I was or make fun of me but that didn't happen.

"Yeah it's sort of hard; I was taking AP History at my old school so I learned this all already. But I'd be happy to help you out though. That is if you want me to." She said running her fingers nervously through her hair.

"Yeah, I'd absolutely love that," I beamed.

*Adelles' POV"

Oh god what had I just offered to do. Yeah I'd taken AP History before I came here, but I couldn't remember a thing I'd learned. Besides that when I was with Drew I couldn't even begin to think straight, I just got lost in his beautiful eyes. I guess the only real reason I decided to help was because I wanted an excuse to spend more time with Drew.

"So do want to come to my house after school?" he asked

"Yeah of course." I replied quickly "Will that be alright with your parents though?"

"Well I'm not sure," he said frowning, "they don't exactly trust me with girls anymore. But you're a nice girl and I guess if it's for school they'll be okay with it."

I wondered what he'd done that had made his parents nervous about him being with girls, but I didn't get a chance to ask because the bell rang. "So I'll meet you on the front steps after school," he said as we exited the cafeteria.

"Sounds good," I replied, but really I was panicking. I worried all the rest of the school day what I was going to tell Drew when he realized I knew nothing about the subject he needed help with. I also worried about what I was going to tell my brothers to keep them from stalking me. But most of all I worried what his family would think of me. I couldn't really tell you why but for some reason I really truly cared about his family's opinion of me.

I hadn't figured out any of my problems when the final bell rang. I gathered my things and went to find my brothers who were already gathered by the front door. "Going over to a friend's house to help them with school work, see ya later bye." I yelled behind me as I dashed out the door. My brothers were yelling questions at me but the door slammed shut before I could respond to them. I knew however they would try to find me and ask again so I picked up the pace a little.

It was helpful that Drew was waiting at the bottom of the stairs already for two reasons. The first was that it would help us get out of here faster. The other was that he was there to catch me when I tripped on my way down the steps. "Woah," he said "slow down gorgeous."

"Thanks," I replied, "But we need to go like right now, before my brothers come out here." I said as I took his hand and led him towards the parking lot.
