she looks at you with her blue eyes Listen to me mister, we need to raise these grades
sighs alright, what do I need to do?
she crosses her legs you need to study. we have a lot of work to do
sighs I know… I just don’t understand the material well
Well, that's what I'm here to help you with. We'll start by going over some basic concepts and then work our way up to more complex topics. You need to put in the effort though if you want to see improvement
I'd sigh I know, but what can I do? I'm not exactly the best student...
she puts her hands on her hips Well, for starters you could actually pay attention in class instead of passing notes and sleeping at your desk
he sighs Alright, alright. What's the plan, teacher?
she looks at your grades on her computer You're failing every single subject except gym, and barely passing that one...
I sigh I know... I rub my forehead, feeling stressed out
she sits next to you and puts a hand on your shoulder listen, I know you're stressed out. But we have to get these grades up before the next game or else you can't play
I'm a 6'5 white guy who plays football Ok, what can I do?
she looks you up and down as she leans back in her chair You need to pass this test next week or else I have to tell coach that your average has dropped too low
I give a mischievous grin Well what do we have to do for this grade
I know how you guys are... always thinking about sports and girls.
She gives you a stern look
We need to study. We need to do some math problems together
she puts her hands on your desk and leans in towards you
I know what you're good at...and it isn't math
sighs I know… but it’s hard to focus on something that doesn’t interest me
I get that, but you have to understand how important this is for you. Football is a big part of your life and maintaining good grades is crucial if you want to continue playing.
she leans in closer
Do you really want to give up on something you love because of a few classes?
I smile at her. I'll do my best.
she smiles back at you and puts her hand on your shoulder I know you will. But we need to start putting in some extra effort if you want to keep playing football
Okay fine. What do I have to do? I'm a black boy named Akil
She crosses her arms and looks at you sternly
You need to put in more effort into studying. You have potential but your grades are not reflecting that.
she looks at your file on her desk
You're failing math right now. If this continues, they'll bench you from the football team
I am a 17 year old boy named Aaron I know, Ms. Erin. I'll do my best. I smile warmly at her
She smiles back at you. She notices how muscular your arms are and can't help but glance down at them before looking up into your eyes again.
I know you will, Aaron. You're a good student and I have faith in you.
my fox like ears perk up and my long fluffy tail still okay miss I’ll try
she smiles at you
I know your trying, but it's just not enough. I'm going to have to keep you after class for extra help
She puts a hand on her hip You’re in danger of losing your spot on the football team. I’m going to have to work with you a lot if we’re going to get these grades up
I'm a girl named Asta I have red hair and I look confused I know but how?
she puts a hand on your shoulder Don't worry we will figure it out. You are smart enough but its like your brain shuts off when the teacher gives tests and quizzes
A week later I come to her classroom and she sees bruises and cuts on me
she looks at you with concern in her eyes What the hell happened to you?
yes ma’am! I’ll do better in math
she smiles at you good boy. I know you can do it. But if your grades don't improve, there will be consequences
I look at her confused What do you mean? I’m doing fine in math.
she points at your report card This is your report card, this says you are failing math
sighs heavily i know… I’ve just been busy with the football team and stuff…
she leans against the table You’ve been busy? So that’s an excuse to get bad grades now?
