The First Meeting

5 am, on a Monday, is the first day of year 13 for Brielle Jones (18), her alarm sounds loudly waking her up. she grunts and softly says  "**** why do I keep using that alarm sound it's' so annoying".

Brielle picks up her phone and goes on TikTok and watched them for 30 minutes before she decided to get up and prepare herself for school. Fay Raven (18) is also getting ready for school on the other side of the town. She has her favourite song 'i wanna be your girlfriend' by an artist, a girl in red playing in the background while she is getting ready for school. Her mom calls her from the sitting room to come downstairs. Fay walks down the stairs in her school uniform and her mom shouts from the sitting room. "Fay, I want to take your school photo". Fay grunts and snarkily replies "okay fine, but I need to leave soon".

Meanwhile, Brielle is still trying to figure out what lashes she wants to wear for the first day of school,  10 minutes of being indecisive, Brielle finally picks a pair of lashes and puts them on. However, After putting on her school clothing and lashes Brielle checks the time and it is 6:34. She panics and shouts "I swear to god, I better not  be late for my first day of year 13."

30 minutes later, Brielle leaves her house and jogs a little to the bus stop so that she doesn't miss her bus., On the other hand, Fay is strolling to school because she wakes up early to get ready for school quickly so that she didn't have to rush to school on her first day.

20 minutes had passed and both Brielle and Fay made it to school on time one made it earlier than the other. They both walk to class where they will meet their classmates and tutor for the first time.

"Hello class, my name is Mrs. black and I am your tutor for this year. as you are all aware... I hope. This is your last year in high school so you will need to study hard". Mrs Black said with an emotionless face.

"We have Mrs black as our tutor. we're screwed" groaned the class.

Brielle watches the time go by slowly, fiddling with her pen. She turns her head and sees Fay with her head down copying the maths equation that is being written on the board. The whole class, excluding Fay, is messing around and not paying attention to the class as if they are back in year 7 again.

Mrs Black sharply turns to face the class and screeches for the class to stop talking whilst she is teaching the class.  Fay stretches out her hand to get the teacher's attention. "Mrs Black, can I please go to the restroom?". "Yes, you may go to the restroom but please come back before 10:30". Brielle follows Fay with her eyes as she quietly walked out of the classroom.

"Hey what's up with you nowadays, you are always so fixated on Fay".

"Why is it any of your business Jason" Brielle snarkily replies with a smirk on her face. Jason kisses his teeth and turns back around.

To herself, Brielle says "He Is right, why am I so fixated on Fay, we have never talked in the 7 years we've been in the same class."

3 hours of work had passed and it is finally lunch. The loud boys in Fays and Brielle's classes ran off as soon as the bell hit 1:00 and left the two girls behind to pick up all of the crap left on the classroom floors.

"Shit, those boys act like children, how do 17 and 18-year-old boys make such a mess?" Fay exclaimed snarkily.

"I was going to ask the same thing" Brielle replied. it went silent for a minute but then a teacher walked in and called for Fay "Fay Raven, could you please follow me to the office."  Fays' eyes widen like she is surprised as to why she is being called to the office "I can finish it up here Fay"

Fay whispers " thank you Bri" and quickly grabs her bag and blindly follows the head of year.

”I hope everything’s okay, I’ve never seen her get called by the head of year? It can’t be anything

negative, she’s an A* student.” Brielle mumbles to herself whilst cleaning up the classroom.

10 minutes later, Fay walks in with Tears trickling down her Hazel eyes. She sees Brielle watching her and quickly put her hood on. “Fay? Are you okay. you can confined in me.” Brielle says with a soft tone.

Fay slowly lifts her head.

Brielle hurriedly ran towards Fay and gave her a hug whilst rubbing her back. “Miss told me, if I don’t pass my History class, I will fail the class and my mum will be disappointed and send me back to Korea I don’t know what to do” Tears are running down her eyes, blurring her vision.

Brielle Hesitatingly responded “ Hey it’s okay, I can help you study for History I got an A in my last exam. To be honest, it’s really the only class besides Food Tech I excel in so I can help you study if you’re okay with it!”

Brielle gets the sleeve of her hoodie and uses it to gently wipe Fay’s tears.

“If you don’t mind can you help, I can pay you for the tutoring if you need it?” Fay reclaimed.

“No, you don’t need to. I’m doing this because well- I just wanted to help it’s the least I can do.”

“Oh okay um- if you’re not busy, do you want to get something to eat? I can at least buy you some dinner.” Fay expresses

“Okay fine haha if you really want too, wait for me outside I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

Brielle Hurries off to her history teach to get some extra work for her and Fay to work on.

“Wow, I can’t believe me Brielle Jones is Tutoring Fay, so excited” Brielle Excitingly spouts whilst skipping along.
