I may be topping all my classes but there is only one class that is stopping me from being the top in my class and that class is none other than physics.
"Mrs. Stone a word?" Mr. Richards said as he finished the class and picked up his books. "Yes, Teechs" I answered picking my books and walking to him.
"Language! Mrs. Stone." Mr. Richards warned with his Australian accent and this made him quite famous among the other female teachers, also considering he is smart, seems to be in his 40s, handsome for his age and there seemed to be a rumor of him getting divorced two years ago as so as Nat told me.
" Am sorry, Mr. Richards." I said even though I knew I wasn't a tiny bit sorry and he knew that. He sighed as motioned me to follow him.
I saw Nat and clay chatting by the lockers and they were not actually surprised to see me following Mr. Richards. Not after I scored a 33 on the last test when I had more than 96 on other classes. " Isn't it ironic Ari you score a 100 in Math but Physics a 33?" I still remember her nagging after she saw my report paper. But what could I do? I shrug.
"Well Mrs. Stone am pretty sure you are quite familiar with why I called you here."
" Yes, I am familiar" I said as I sat in his office chair looking around. His office did not have much but rather a desk with a laptop and physics textbooks, I spotted a small shelve which am pretty sure all thee books had the word physics on it or they were about physics. Needless to say, his office was quite arranged and low-key at that.
"Which is why I have arranged for you a tutor.." This statement brought back to earth.
"What tutor and why? Am sorry but I think there is a mistake, I never applied for tutoring anyone not to be tutored either." I may be cold considering I top my classes except this class but tutoring isn't for me.
"I know that, but you cannot keep failing physics which is why your father and I came to this decision." He said as he removed his glasses knowing this won't be easy. Mr. Richards was good at handling other students but not Ariella Stone with the rebellious nature.
"What!" I was shocked that dad was also into this. He knows very well I hate it when someone makes decision for me. It wasn't that I did not want to pass physics I just hated it.
"Look, Mrs. Stone I know you don't like this decision but if you keep failing this subject it won't look good in your transcript." He said in a serious tone.
"You are right about that, but trust me I have already calculated the odds and.." I was busy trying to change his mind but that was not going to be possible today.
'knock, knock' A soft knock was heard and Mr. Richards stood up to welcome the new visitor.
"Come in, Mr. Brown" Mr. Richards said as he sat down.
"Thank you sir," A beautiful deep husky voice said. I turned and was met with beautiful sky blue eyes, He had a short dark brown with his side curls falling on his face, slender nose and thin lips. Not to mention his demigod body that was hidden with a plain white hoodie and black sweatpants matching with white sneakers. Needless to say he was a good sight to see. 'Back to earth Ari, not a good time to be drooling.'
"Mrs. Stone meet Mr. Brown he will be your tutor" Mr. Richards said with a smile, gesturing me to shake his hands.
I was still shocked while I was shaking his hands and to add on that, his gorgeous smile screamed danger that I was not ready for it.
"Am sorry but what? I did not agree to this" I said to Mr. Richards pointing my index finger to I suppose Mr. Brown.
"First of all put down your finger, and I wasn't asking you earlier rather informing you" Mr. Richards said to me with a tired look that was clearly telling me to stop with the childish tantrum.
"But.."
" I believe I have made myself clear Mrs. Stone, now please leave." He said clearly with an angry tone.
"Mr. Brown, take good care of her, and oh she may be a tough nut to crack but am sure you can handle it." He said as he opened the door for us to leave.
"Yes sir, there is nothing to worry about" Mr. Brown said with a polite smile as he walked towards the door.
"You know am still right here" I said with a raised eyebrow.
"Which am wondering why?" Mr. Richards said rolling his eyes. I sighed quietly as I walked out of his office but was stopped with his reminder, '' Be good''
I smirked, " Of course."
