"You're failing half of your lectures, we send you here to help you and you can't even help yourself" Father scolds me on the phone while I sit in the tub filled with cocoa smelling bubbles around me.
"Lovely to hear from you as well father" I close my eyes, almost picturing him gripping the phone tightly at my sarcastic tone.
Father hadn't called since I got here, and now he was yelling through the phone because I've been failing out on lectures.
"Honey, this is serious. If you don't start passing lectures, you'll be there for another year" I open my eyes and stand from the tub, grabbing my towel and entering my room.
"There is no way in hell, I'll be here for another year" I grow frustrated with father.
"Then I suggest you start passing your lectures" He hangs up and lean my head back onto the bed, with a irritated groan. I moisturize my body and put on my uniform before leaving my room.
I passed Charolette who was busy staring at her lecture notes until she felt me pass by her. I entered Carter's office knowing it piss him off for me not knocking.
"Ms. Rose, please wait for me allow you in next time" I ignored him, shutting the door and standing in front of his desk which made him take off and close his glasses.
"You're failing me for what? I attend all my lectures!" Carter just blankly stares at me.
"If you had read over our terms, you would have known. Attending lectures also includes passing them to lower your stay here, if we see you are improving" he further on explains and I find my hands clenching at my sides.
"That's a load of bullshit!"
"Language Ms. Rose, I still have the authority on whether to allow you to spend your weekend out in town or stay back and catch up on the many lectures you've missed this week" he cleans glasses and puts them back on.
"I suggest you get to studying, I would definitely hate to extend your stay" he opens his small bible and begins to read, my blood seems to boil as I stand in front of his desk.
With anger everywhere throughout my body, I leave his office in a hurry. With the slam of the door, I bump into a hard chest and the sound of books come crashing down the floor.
I was yet again met with soft brown eyes beneath round glasses. The familiar tint on his face and a frown on his lips at the fallen books.
I hadn't ran into Alessio since he ran out on me in the library, it was almost as if he was avoiding me. The only time I saw him was when he was rushing past the hall to get to his next lecture.
I bent down to gather his books. "S-Sorry, I should pay m-more attention" he speaks, taking the book back into his grasp. When my hand brushes over his, he pulls away quickly as if I had just burned him.
Before I got the chance to respond, Carter opened his door. "Alessio" he said firmly, seeing his son standing in front of the last person he wanted him to meet.
"I see you've met Honey" Alessio's eyes moves from his father's to mine and I let a small smile grace my lips at the gulp of air he takes.
"Honey if you excuse us, we have stuff to discuss" Carter says, I look over my shoulder and see Carter's face hardening at every second I spend standing in front of his son.
"It was lovely speaking to you again Alessio" I send him a wink and move to the side.
Alessio shyly nods and enters Carter's office, Carter looks at me with narrowed eyes.
"I think you should attend a tutoring session to raise those lecture grades" He says in a cold tone, then it all rushes back to me that his very own son was assigned to me as a tutor despite the rules.
"Yes sir, Im going to get all the extra help that I can" I smile and he furrows his eyebrows when I happily walk off.
I remember Charolette's room number and knock, when she opens it. She has on one of those grandma night gown on and she smiled when she saw me.

"Honey! Please come in" she moved out of the way and let me pass, I sat on the chair in front of her bed.
"I need you to tell me more about the Headmaster's son" she shuts the door.
Charolette had gone into details about Alessio, how he had done absolutely nothing wrong but was forced to study here because of Carter.
He attends all his lectures and never once missed a single class. He was too busy to see all the stares he got from other students because his head was always in a book, he kept to himself and didn't speak. Never went to the outside campus parties and was always studying somewhere.
Carter being rich was an understatement, the academy meant absolutely everything to him. He cared about his reputation a lot. It would absolutely kill him if anyone ruined either, his son or his reputation.
My mind wandered for the good and the bad.
The good being that I actually needed a tutor to avoid staying at this hell for another year.
The bad being I was going to have help from the boy who was completely off limits.
Alessio was forbidden. And it's a good thing that I like all things forbidden.
I thanked Charolette, surprisingly I could actually stand her over her sister. Who I had unfortunately caught glimpse of speaking to Alessio.
Adeline was talking his ears off, she seemed to clutch on her portfolio yet again. Alessio on the other hand had looked like he wanted to be anywhere else.
He finally had stopped her talking what looked like a four word sentence before her face fell and he walked off to the same place he always in.
I followed with a plan swirling in my head, when I entered the library. It was empty, I continued through the large room until a hard slam caught my attention to one of the doors in the far back.
The door was creaked open, and I peaked my head in. Curiosity getting the best of me.
The sight in front of me caused me to bite my lip.
Alessio was in his uniform but the white sleeves were rolled up, revealing his veiny hands. He had a large handful of what looked like clay in his hands and repeatedly slammed it on the table.
He leaned his head back to push the fallen strands away from his face, along with his glasses.
I watched as he kneaded his hands until the clay was where he wanted it. A wheel like machine was next to him and he had thrown the clay on top of it ready to work with it until the stupid door creaked and his eyes met mine behind it.
I entered the door to admire the room and him further.
"H-Honey" his deep voice caught me and it made me want to hear him say it over and over.
"I-Is there something I can help you with?" He wiped off his hands and I walked over to his desk.
Tracing the patterns of the wood with my index finger, I faced the sweet boy in front of me.
"You're going to tutor me" I said straight away.
"I need your help to get out of this s**t hole" I now stand in front of him and hear him suck in a breath.
"M-My help?" I nod my head.
"I'm failing my lectures and according to someone, you seem to be passing all of them. If I don't pass them by the end of the year, your father and mine are going to keep me here for another year and that's not happening."
"And who better to teach me the ways of a long and sinless life then the Headmaster's son" I tilt my head slightly.
Charolette had also explained if your tutor had taught you anything, whether it related to your lectures or not it would still count.
You got longer curfews and it was the only time you were allowed into their room. Tutors were trusted so you didn't have much surveillance on you as you did without one.
"I-I'm not sure"-
"Look, let's try this for a week. If you don't want to do this anymore after then I'll find someone else if I can. If you'd like to continue then we will from there, okay?" He switched his eyes back in forth between mine, his pink blush turning a deeper red.
I could see him contemplating a response in his head.
"F-Fine" I slightly close the space between us to where I can see his chest rise and fall quicker.
"Fine what, Alessio" I wanted to hear him say it.
"I-I'll tutor you Honey" If Carter found out, it would be terrible mainly for me.
But that's why I didn't care, because Carter didn't have a single caring bone in his heart for me. When he looked at me it was like he was seeing my mother all over again, something hid behind his eyes and I couldn't tell what.
Carter was a man of God, he looked down upon others who committed sins including half of the students here.
"Perfect, then you're my tutor and I'm yours" His face turned into one of confusion, he hadn't known what I meant and that was part of the plan.
Carter wanted his son far away from sin, and I was going to teach him every single one. Starting off with the devils favorite.
Me.
