"He's going to your house?!" Jade exclaimed. I immediately clamped a hand over her mouth, shushing her. We were outside the school, in front of the teacher parking lot. Mr. Hall wasn't there yet. "Shh! Be quiet!" I hissed, waiting for a group of girls to pass before I uncovered her mouth. Jade grinned at me, waggling her eyebrows. "Is it for extra credit?" I slugged her in the arm, and she stuck her tongue out at me, before freezing, holding back laughter. "What...?" I asked, turning around. Leah was standing there, with the group of her friends. She smiled coldly, crossing her arms. "Well? Is it extra credit? she sneered. "No." I said simply, shrugging. Leah narrowed her eyes. "Then what is it?" "Not like it's your business, but as of now, he's my tutor." I snapped. Leah arched an eyebrow. "Really? I doubt it. You're a model student." she snickered. "Well, it's the truth. I just can't concentrate..." I clenched my hands. "Why? Is he too distracting"- I sharply brought my fist forward and punched Leah in the face. She recoiled, and everyone around gasped, taking a step back. Leah trembled, looking up at me. "Just shut up already! Do me a HUGE favor and leave. Me. Alone! Or else!" I shouted. Jade stared at me incredulously, and the others did the same. Leah pouted a bit, before blinking and bursting into tears. "Mr. Hall! Look what she did!" she cried. Everyone turned to see Mr. Hall exiting the school, his briefcase in hand. He arched an eyebrow at us, pausing. "What happened?" "P-P-Persephone punched me!" I winced, looking up at Mr. Hall. He locked eyes with me for a second, before shrugging. "So?" he asked. Everyone's mouth dropped open a little, especially Leah's. "What do you mean, so?!" she shrieked. "As in, it's not my problem. School's over, and frankly, you're annoying." he said matter-of-factly. "Persephone?" I nodded, and followed Mr. Hall to his car. Jade burst out laughing, and I smirked. "Thanks, for that." I said. Mr. Hall opened my door, before walking to the driver's side. "No need to thank me. It was neccesary." ----------- Short update. but I updated
