Rose 🌹
I glared at Greyson as he took the seat next to me.
Mr. Walter clear his throat to get my attention "I'll leave you two to get situated with each other and create a schedule"
He hand us each a piece of paper and I was shocked to see the word 'CONTRACT' boldly written in the heading.
I looked at him in surprise "Ah... Sir? Why are we signing contracts? I never had to sign one before"
"I need my lawyer present" Greyson smirked "I won't signed anything until my lawyer is present"
Mr. Walter shot him a look "I already spoke to your mother Mr. Green. As far as you're concerned, you have no choice"
Greyson's smirked faltered a little before he shrugged "Whatever"
Mr. Walter frowned before addressing me "Ms. Carson, this is a new protocol that was put into place after Mr. Green missed so many appointments with his other tutors"
Greyson snorted but said nothing.
I read through the contract quickly and glanced at my anxious Principal
"Sir, this says I have to tutor him four times a week. Before I was only tutoring someone, at least, twice a week"
"I know Ms. Carson but as I said before, some students don't click with tutors. As it turns out, Mr. Green doesn't click with any of the tutors he was given. You're his last hope"
My eyes widened "Surely..."
Mr. Walter cut me off "Ms. Carson, I simply do not have anymore time to waste with these never ending questions. I would like for you two to sign the contract, and come up with a schedule before our meeting ends" he looked at his watch "In 20 minutes"
I sighed "Okay, just let me look at the contract one more time"
He smiled and walked to the door, "I'll leave you two alone for a couple minutes while I Print some things for the faculty meeting tomorrow. If you need anything, Sandra will be more than happy to assist you"
I nodded before turning toward Greyson and giving him my evilest glare "How surprising"
He sat forward and grinned "Isn't it coincidence? I never would have thought you would end up being my tutor"
I laughed sarcastically "Sure you didn't"
"I didn't!" he protested
"Why couldn't you have asked your brother?"
He grabbed a pen off Mr. Walter's desk and signed his name at the dotted line in the neatest and nicest penmanship I've ever seen from a boy. "We aren't necessarily on speaking terms right now"
I raised an eyebrow "Oh really?"
He shot me a look "Like you don't already know. Garrett tells you more than he does our mother"
"That's not true!!" I defended "He does not tell me everything!"
Greyson raised an eyebrow and I sighed
"Okay, he tells me most things but he didn't tell me why you guys were fighting"
Greyson snorted "Sure he didn't" he mumbled under his breath
I felt a headache starting to form "Can we just make a schedule so I can get out of the god awful school?"
"Why? Have a hot date?" he mocked
I started to get irritated and I felt my temper rise.
"Yeah, actually I do" I started straight at him "With your brother"
His pretty eyes darkened and he gripped the armrests so tight, it looked like they were about to break off.
"What?" he snapped and took a deep breath "What did you say"
I stood up and grabbed my bag "I don't have time for this or you. I'm sorry but if you're gonna act like this, I rather tutor a brick wall"
Before I walked through the door, a large hand grabbed my wrist gently. I tried to pull away but nothing seemed to work.
"Let me go Greyson"
"Rose..." he whispered in my ear and I shivered at the nickname he called me since we were 14 "I'm sorry"
My heart melted but I refused to give in "I can't do this"
"Rose" he murmured right behind me. His thumb rubbing smoothing circles on the inside of my wrist "Please, I need you"
Something about his tone told me we weren't talking about tutoring anymore.
After a few silent moments, my stupid heart gave in "Okay, I'll sign the damn contract"
He continued to rub my wrist even after I agreed. I started to get nervous and fidgety so I decided to clear my throat to get his attention.
It snapped him out of his trance
"Uh..We should talk about.. the schedule"
He cleared his throat and took a step away from me "Yeah... let's do that"
We sat down again and I signed the contract before turning my attention to him.
He smiled when his eyes met mine "I can't meet on Mondays or Wednesdays"
"Why?" I asked curiously
"Because I have soccer practice"
Oh, That's right. Besides being a world class player and Bad boy, Greyson was also the Captain of our High School soccer team.
"Grey" I sighed in frustration "Its says I need to tutor you four times a week. I can't do that if you're choosing soccer over your grades"
"I like it when you say my name like that" His smile grew "And I'm not picking soccer over my grades. Ma would probably beat me to death with her wooden spoon. I'm just saying we may need to meet later on those days"
I thought about what he said before breaking out in giggles.
He was right
Mrs. Green, his mother, was a spitfire. She was a short but beautiful Spanish women that was tough as nails and didn't take anything from any man, especially from her boys or husband. She was a sweetheart and definitely the type of mom I wished I had.
"Okay, you're right" I grabbed a notebook from my bag and started creating a schedule "How about we meet on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for sure. The only problem I have is I can't meet after school on Friday. It has to be during a free period"
I took my class schedule out an pointed toward my free period "What do you have during 5th period?"
He studied my schedule before speaking "I have gym"
"Perfect!" I wrote down his 5th period class before continuing "You think coach will let you miss if you told him about your situation?"
Greyson rubbed his neck "Pretty sure he won't mind"
"Great" I wrote more "So you said you can't meet on Mondays or Wednesdays and I figured you'd be tired after practice so I was thinking if we could meet on a weekend?" I bit my lip
His eyes brightened "You'd do that for me?"
I felt myself nodding before my phone beeped
Gare Bear🤓👓: Where are you? I ordered your milkshake already and it's melting.
I looked at the time and groaned.
It was 4:45 pm
Me: Be right there. Can you ask Milly to put my shake in the freezer.
I grabbed my stuff "I gotta go. Sorry Grey"
"Wait! We didn't finish" he stood "My brother can wait a few more minutes. Let him sweat it out"
"Okay" I sighed "We have 10 minutes before I need to go"
He smiled "I can meet on Saturday"
"Awesome!" I grabbed my stuff again "Are we done here?"
He shook his head "I have one request though"
I was wary "What is it?'
"You mind if we meet at your house? I rather not have Garrett know you're tutoring you"
"Why?" I asked curiously
"I rather him not know" he used his puppy dog eyes on me "Pretty please Rose"
I smiled "Okay, but I really have to go now"
"Wait, you don't even know what I need help in" he called out from behind me.
I groaned and turned toward him
"We'll talk about it tommorow Greyson. I really have to go now"
"Can I at least get your number before you leave? Just in case I need it?"
"Ask Garrett when you get home"
"He won't give it to me"
"What?" I asked in surprise "How do you know?"
"Believe me, I know" he smirked "I've tried before"
I rolled my eyes before ripping out another piece of paper and writing down my number. I started to hand him the paper but before I gave to him, I pulled it back.
"This is only to be used for tutoring purposes Greyson. Nothing more" I warned.
He rolled his eyes "A little dramatic, aren't you Rose? It's not like I'm gonna profess my love for you over the phone"
The way he said it and his tone made me feel embarrassed and undesired. He said it like professing his love (a nonexistent love) for me was the last thing he wanted to do in his life.
"Whatever" I handed him the paper before finally walking out.
