Tutoring The School's Bad Boy

Chapter 6: Curious

I took Angelica to the main office. It turned out that we were in the same first period. We went in and everybody's eyes was on me.

"Who's the new girls?" Aj asked.

"Oh, they're late," Ray said. "and hot."

Angelica crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

We sat down in the front.

"Is Mallory not here today?" Mrs. Mackie asks.

I raised my hand. "Uh.. I'm here, Mrs. Mackie."

"Mallory?"

I nodded. "It's me."

"Mallory?!" Everybody exclaimed.

I closed my eyes and put my head down.

"Okay. I need to breathe." Mrs. Mackie said. "You all, do whatever. I don't care."

"Hey." Somebody said.

I raised my head up and opened one eye. And guess who it was.. Jayden Willings.

I looked at Angelica and she mouth, "Go for it."

I cleared my throat. "Hello.. Jay."

"How are you?" He asks.

I put one leg over the other and he stared.

"I'm doing good." I replied.

His eyes was locked on mine.

"So.." He started to say. "Where we meeting up today?"

"You want to be tutored today?" I ask.

He nods. "Yeah. It won't hurt."

"Uh.. my place?" I suggested.

"Sounds good. I'll take us."

"Okay."

He got up and sat at the back with his friends.

"Hey, Donavan." Jayden says.

"I'll talk to you later.. Angelica." Donavan said to her.

I turned and faced Angelica.

"What just happened?" I asked.

"What just happened?" she said. "The black haired guy just asked me out!"

"Really? What'd you say?"

"I said no of course! He's so annoying!" She groaned. "How'd it go with yours?"

"He just asked me where we were meeting up for tutoring." I told her.

"You're his tutor?" she exclaimed.

I nodded. "Yeah."

"That's perfect!" she snapped her fingers. "Where though? Don't tell me he's taking you to his house."

I shook my head. "No, we're going to the foster house. And plus.. I've been to his house. And it was only us two.."

"What?!" She exclaimed. "What did you guys do?"

"I taught him stuff." I answered.

---------------------------------

At the end of the day, I saw Jayden leaning against the railing of the steps outside. He had a cigarette in his hand. Isn't he afraid he'll get caught?

I already told Angelica I'll see her at home.

"Hey." He said sucking in his cigarette.

I ask, "Aren't you scared you might get caught with that thing?"

He shook his head. "The teachers are afraid of me."

I nodded my head. "Okay.."

"You ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

He threw his cigarette on the ground and stepped on it.

We walked to his car and got in.

"So.. what happened to you?" he asked.

"Excuse me?" I replied.

"I'm sorry. Were you offended?"

"Maybe I am offended." I remembered, Angelica telling me to play hard to get. Let's see how this goes. I'm curious.

"Sorry. But.. I wanna know."

I crossed my arms. "Why?"

"Just because."

"Because you want to make sure I'm the real Mallory, am I right?"

He nods. "Yeah."

"I got a makeover, duh." I told him.

"I can see that."

"My personality wise, is still the same." But not for long, maybe. I don't know.

"I see.." He says.

Maybe this was a bad idea. I don't know. All is, is that I'm curious.
