Another day, another black eye and cut.

You'd think that they'd get tired of hitting me but nope. It's whatever though they're just upset that I'm actually smart and they aren't

I make my way to my 5th class of the day which also just happens to be favorite class. It's great because we have a student teacher who is really nice and I May or may not be his favorite student. Mr. Marais knows about the people who hurt me everyday and he is aware that I really don't care because as long as I'm getting good grades nothing bothers me

I get to class and Mr. Marais gasps as soon as he sees me

"Oh my god are you okay" he asks me
"Yeah why"
"Your eye and cheek"
"I'm fine I promise" I say smiling
"If you say so but see me after class please"
"Umm Okay"

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Class is over and I unfortunately have to go to my last class; Science now. Don't get me started on how unfair my science class is. I should be in advanced Science but no this school is stupid

I'm about to leave class when I remember I have to stay after class

"you wanted to see me?" I ask Mr. Marais after class
"Yes I wanted to ask about what happened"
"Well see I was walking in the hallway and boom there was a random fist in my face and before I could even see who's fist it was they walked away and class was starting. And not just any class your class which of course I can't miss. No way I mean I wouldn't want you to miss any second of me"

By now everyone for his next class is in their seats waiting for their class to start

"Did you really not see who it was"
"See id Love to stay and finish this conversation but you kinda have kids here"
"I don't care I want to make sure you're okay"
"Well I'm okay I mean I would like some ice and you know a bandaid but other than that I'm fine"
"I'll get you some ice"
"Great"

He goes behind his desk and takes out a big bag of ice and a ziplock bag

He puts the ice in the bag and gets a bandaid and neosporin out

He puts the neosporin on the bandaid and puts it on my cut. Then he takes the bag of ice and puts a paper towel over it and hands it to me

"Thank you. But why do you just have a random bag of ice"
"After last time I learned it's easier to just keep the ice"
"Oh wow thanks for thinking about me"
"Of course. Now go to class so I can teach these guys"
"Please don't make me go"
"Why"
"Everyone's so dumb in that class. Kids in that class literally get 30s on quizzes that I get 100s on. And it's not even a hard class."
"Why Don't you transfer out of that class into an advanced class"
"Don't you think I've tried. Ever since I got in that class I've tried getting out. And every single time they've said the same thing."
"What did they say"
"They said that I'm not allowed to be in all advanced classes. So of course I asked why. And do you want to know what they said"
"I don't know, what did they say" he says in a fake interested tone
"They said that its unfair to other people that can't be in those classes. Which makes absolutely no sense. If they can't be in those classes it's there fault that they are stupid."
"That is so unfair."
"I know right. So please don't make me go to class"
"I'm sorry I have to"
"You Technically don't have to. I could always stay in this class while you teach. Maybe look at my test score which you still haven't graded yet which is really annoying"
"If you don't go to class you could get a detention"
"Like detention is so bad. A full hour of being able to do my homework and study. Actually in fact I would love detention"
"Okay well then that won't work. Umm if you stay I will have you tutor some of my worst students"
"You wouldn't do that to me your favorite student"
"Oh yes I would"
"Now that is just wrong"
"If you stay here any longer you will have to"
"So you're going to force me to go to a class with stupid people"
"Don't call them stupid"
"But they are"
"Please just go"
"How about I stay and I can never go to that class again"
"Fine stay but tomorrow you're going"
"Thanks"

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

The bell rings signaling that class is over and Mr. Marais calls 4 boys I've never heard of over to his desk

After a little bit of talking he calls me over as well

"Okay Chloe these are my 4 worst students Daniel Seavey, Jack Avery, Corbyn Besson, and Zach Herron and since you wouldn't leave the class or me alone you have to tutor them"
"Can I reject"
"No i told you that if you didn't leave I would make you tutor people"
"Do I get anything out of this"
"You have a 100 in this class I'm sure you don't need anything"
"I'm an overachiever a 100 simply just means I know what I'm doing not that I'm smart"
"Why do you have to make my life difficult"
"It's my job now can we go I have places to be and people to see"
"And what people would that be"
"Um my uh um my boyfriend yeah my boyfriend he'll be really mad if I am late for our um date especially if I'm late and he sees me with 4 other boys. And are you trying to get me in trouble with my boyfriend" I lie
"I don't mean to be rude but I know you don't have a boyfriend"
"Oh my god are we getting tutored by this loser or not" the blonde says
"Please don't call me that plus I'm not the one with fake blonde hair"
"How do you know it's fake"
"I can see your roots" I say
"Okay enough Chloe you are tutoring them every night"
"Umm we have things to do" the boy that clearly has fake curly hair says
"I already reached out to your other teachers and coaches"
"Where are we even supposed to do this" I ask
"Your House" mr. Marais responds
"Um that can't work" I say remembering how embarrassing my house is
"Why not"
"Trust me it just won't work. There's no space"
"Stop making excuses please"
"It's not an excuse but whatever" I say
"Okay now starting tonight till you boys have better grades you will be tutored at her house"
"I can't believe I have to do this for 4 idiots"
"Just get over it come on you already make his life difficult in school give him a break for after" the boy with piercing blue eyes says
"Whatever"
"Okay good now go please"

We leave the classroom and walk away to my car
