"Sorry Chloe what did you say?"

"Are you ready for our history test on Tuesday?" She repeated to me

"Test?"

"Yeah you know the big first test of the class that she talked about repeatedly yesterday" Chloe said to me as I was confused

"I must have been focusing on the game..." I said as I can only really focus on one thing on gameday

"You need to get a tutor so you can pass it if you missed all the info yesterday" she told me

"You too?" Leon said overhearing us

"What, are you struggling in history too?" I asked him

"No, but Tahani is" he said pointing to Tahani gaining her attention

"I messed up on the quiz it doesn't mean I'm struggling" Tahani said

"I told her to get Tati to tutor her but she keeps saying no" Leon said

"I'll ask if she can tutor us both" I said as I got up

"Wait don't!" Tahani said but I was already moving "Don't use my name!"

I heard her and approached the table Tati and her friends were at, the girls were smiling at me except for Tati who just looked as if I had hurt her before

"Hey ladies!" I introduced myself

"Hi Julian!" 3 of the 4 girls said

"What do you want Julian?" Tati said with a eyebrow raised

"I was hoping you could tutor me and a friend for the history test coming up?" I said as nicely as I could as for whatever reason she was being defensive towards me

"What's in it for me?" Tati said as now we're apparently negotiating

"Um... free tickets to the next big game?!" I suggested which got her to raise an eyebrow "Unless theirs something specific you want?"

"How about you owe me a favor" Tati said with a smirk that I already didn't like

"What kind of favor?"

"No worries its nothing horrible, it might not even come up but I just want to make sure I get something as tickets are already free for students remember?" Tati said as I forgot that only parents and opponent schools students pay for games

"...Fine I'll owe you a favor so when should we meet up?" I said as I have to take her word on it not being horrible

"...Tomorrow if that's okay with you and your friend" Tati said after some thinking

"Saturday should be fine, I'll text you!" I said as I have her number from old dance stuff

"Alright bye Julian" Tati said as I walked back to my table

"So what did she say?" Leon asked as I sat back down

"She said she would do it I'll just owe her something" I said "We are going to meet up tomorrow okay?"
