Monday morning.
Eileen
Gosh, girls! You won’t BELIEVE what Mr. Lewis asked me to do to boost my resume.
Eileen
Tutoring. Not just tutoring though, but he asked me to tutor Jacob Lancaster.
Eileen
Apparently nothing sells faster than a jock getting good grades after years of flunking!
Eileen
I need emotional support right now, I literally cannot be asked.
Eileen
Girls, really?! No one?!
Jacob
If you don’t want to then say no.
Jacob
A jock with years of flunking? Real mature.
Eileen
Wait…
Eileen
Omg, I’m so sorry!
Eileen
I thought…no, that doesn’t make it better.
Jacob
Save it.
Tell Mr. Lewis you won’t tutor me.
Eileen was still wide eyed, rereading her message.
How could she send it to the wrong group?! No, how could she make such an awful mistake to send her rant to the reason for it in the first place?!
Quickly, she tapped on her actual group.
Eileen
Tell my mom I love her.
Eileen
Girls, see you in heaven when we praise our dear Lord.
Susan
Huh?!😂
You okay, sister?
Betsy
What’s up? Lol.
Eileen
You wouldn’t believe it.
Eileen
I came on here, ranting about how tutoring Jacob (while calling him a jock) was the worst!
Eileen
Only for me to send it TO JACOB!
Eileen
😓😱so yes, off to heaven now.
Charlie
Woah, you did what now?
Susan
Ouuuu! Drama! Love it!
Eileen
SUSAN! This is my life at stake!!
Betsy
Yikes, how’d he take it?
Eileen
Said ‘real mature’ and told me to tell Mr. Lewis that I won’t tutor him.
Eileen
I kinda pointed out that he was flunking for years. Harsh move, I was vexed!
Charlie
Girl…
Eileen
I KNOW🥲
Eileen
What do I do now? Apologise?
Susan
To Jacob Lancaster, the admittedly moody brat?
Betsy
People acclaimed bad boy?
Charlie
Who could end your social life in a blink?
Eileen
NOT HELPING GIRLS😭
Susan
😂Maybe kiss his shoe?
Susan
Ew, on second thought, don’t. They’d be all muddy and yucky.
Charlie
When’s the session meant to start?
Eileen
Tomorrow after school. But considering what just happened, I doubt he’ll come.
Eileen
I feel really bad now.
Charlie
Well, you should.
Susan
Oh please! Let a girl rant!
Susan
I bet he didn’t take it THAT personally.
Eileen
I hope not.
Eileen
And that’s the first message ever I was sending him!
Betsy
Tomorrow’s gonna be interesting.
Susan
REAL☺️! Text us ALL the drama, mkay?
Eileen
😑😑no.
The next day, after school.
Eileen hovered over Jacob’s contact. It had been thirty minutes of her pacing the classroom. He hadn’t shown up.
Eileen
Hey, Jacob…I really sorry about what I said yesterday.
I’m also in the classroom, are you done with practice yet?
Eileen
If you are we can start our lessons in Class 11A.
Ten minutes later.
Jacob
Not interested.
Eileen
Wait, please…
Eileen
Seriously, I didn’t mean to call you a jock who flunks. That was rude and I’m sorry.
Eileen
Please…?
Jacob
I said, not interested.
Eileen
What do I tell Mr. Lewis then?
Eileen
He really wants you to pass this term.
Eileen
I…want you to pass too.
Jacob
Yeah?
Jacob
Not just to ‘boost your resume’?
Jacob
Hard to believe.
Eileen
😓
Eileen
Alright, I admit it, I do want to boost my resume. But now I feel really bad about it all.
Eileen
I’m still here…are you coming?
Jacob
Go home, Eileen.
Eileen heart stuttered as she read his text.
He had never called by her name before. She chewed her lip, not knowing what else to say.
Eileen
I’ll wait another thirty, in case you change your mind.
Eileen clicked her group.
Eileen
He’s not coming 😓😓😓!
Been here for over thirty minutes!
Susan
HA! You thought he would?
Susan
Saw him during cheer practice.
Charlie
Did you apologise?
Eileen
I did!
Safe to say he doesn’t believe it’s genuine.
Eileen
Suzy, you saw him?
Are you still at cheer practice?
Susan
Nope, just finished.
He’s not here either.
Betsy
Girl, just saw him and Rolan get on their bikes.
Betsy
I think he’s going home.
Charlie
Yikes.
Eileen
Really?! You did?
Eileen
Ugh, the worst.
Eileen
I guess I should start leaving too?
Charlie
I think so, seeing as he’s not coming.
Susan
Geez, is this how it’s going to be then?
Might as well tell Mr. Lewis.
Betsy
True, rather than waste both your times.
Charlie
Maybe give him sometime before telling?
Susan
Awww, I love second chances!
Eileen
I’ll text him and let him know.
Eileen clicked on the Jacob’s contact.
Eileen
Hey, I’ll be in the same place tomorrow afternoon.
Eileen
Sorry again, Jacob.
Eileen
I’m leaving now.
Eileen went home, feeling a nudge in her chest.
When she got ready for bed, she checked her phone before she slept, only to see a message from Jacob.
Jacob
Goodnight, Eileen.
