(my previous one got deleted (stupid computer)... so her goes #2)
Andrew stared at the black board... he believed that he could navigate the entire world and find his house, without a map, while inside a Hot air balloon better than he could understand this class. This class is arithmetic, to be more exact, Calc2. Barely able to pass Calc1, what made him think he could do calc2 he didnt know. He needed 2 full credits of math while here.
The class ended, and Andrew stared at the blackboard. Formulas and graphs scattered and took up the whole board, He apparently stared for a bit too long because he couldn't hear the professor talking to him. "Oh yes sir? sorry."
The professor looked at him, "Mr. Gavin you need help understanding this, i am free on Thursdays" Though today was Monday, Drew never asked for help from anyone believed he could do it himself. Well, maybe not this..
"No thanks sir." He said, as he slowly got up. "I'll figure something out to fix it." He added trying to sound reassuring
The professor shrugged, "I cant force you to do anything, but with your grades falling fast you need to do something about it." He left the room at that.
The silence of the room finally made Andrew get up and leave the room. Sighing, and he went out and wandered the halls. He tried to figure out what he was going to do with his grade, when he heard Matt.
Matt was one, if not the only friend he had on campus, he walked over to Andrew and asked "why so bummed?"
Andrew told him what was the problem, and then added at the end "I might just suck it up and buy a tutor."
Matt smiled and said "Well, i found a good math tutor last year, the organization might do wonders with your life. If your still interested, you can text me tonight and i will give you the number."
Before andrew could ask what Matt meant about his life becoming better once he understood calc2, Matt was called off and left Andrew a bit confused.
Andrew walked more, and wound up going back to his dorm room. He shared the apartment with 3 other kids, but he had his own room. Setting his stuff down and shutting/locking the door he sat down.
Getting some things done, he finally looked over his calc2 information. Reading and looking in the book as well as a 'Calc2 for dummies' he just couldnt understand it. Looking for more than 45 minutes, he finally leaned back and got his phone. Typing out his message to Matt asking for the number.
Matt was inside his dorm, he looked at his phone. Answered Andrew's text, with additional 'they are open 24/7'. Going back to blowing people's heads off in halo.
Drew received the text and looked it over, looking at the time 8:38. Sighing he mustered up some courage, he called the number.
A recorded message came on: "Thank you for calling, an operator will be with you soon." Andrew waited, watching TV.
After about 5 minutes, "Hello, sorry for the wait. I am Hailey, how can we serve you?" Drew could swear she would do anything he asked...
Finally speaking "Hi, i need a math tutor, could we set up something for tomorrow?"
"Yes of course sir. Tomorrow..." looking at her computer, "How about Noon?" she asked, "It will be $100 then more for... extra."
'huh? extra?' he thought, "$100 you gotta be kidding!" Andrew said, "You better be damn good for that."
"Oh we are purrrfect." she said, "If you are unsatisfied by our service, you can get a refund. But i, and our references have had an unbelievable time."
"yeah yeah," he said calming down a bit. "Sure, noon works. At New Hampshire university's Cafeteria. Does that work?"
"oh my, you are an interesting boy. Yeah, she will be there. She will be wearing a red fairy hairpin in her hair. you wont miss her." she said.
"Ok." he said and they both hung up. Drew watched TV for a bit, then decided to go to sleep.
Waking up, looking at the clock 11:36. 'crap!' he thought. Getting some clothes he ran to the shower. Washing his... skinny body, His eyes were green, hair is a dirty blond. His short beard was a weird shade of red. From sitting in front of the computer for most of his life, he wasn't too muscular.
Dressing in jean pants with the first clean shirt he found. Running out of the apartment with his books he practically ran to the cafeteria. Getting there at 11:55, he scanned around. breathing heavily, he found a seat against the wall.
As he sat down and got his books out, he saw the red fairy before he saw her.
