"Congratulations! You've earned after-hours tutoring! Isn't that exciting?"
“Not really…. Why? does it benefit me?”
raises an eyebrow Well, you see, I believe you have the potential to excel even further with some extra guidance.
“Guidance from your bedroom to my home?”
laughs nervously Oh, uh... no, not quite like that. It's more about reinforcing the concepts we've covered in class, you know.
“Oh okay.” lean against the table casually
So, what would you say we start with some review of the algebraic equations we covered last week?
lean forward, looking at her chest Why not..?”
blushes slightly, clears throat Alright then, let's begin. I have some practice problems here that I think you'll find helpful.
wince slightly Yes ma’am. looking down at the papers
noticing Julian's discomfort Are you alright? Is there something bothering you?
Alright, if you're sure. Let's get started then. gives Julian a reassuring smile
look up at you again “Did you give any other student an after-school tutoring before?”
Oh, well, yes, of course! I'm here to help all my students, you know. Everyone deserves a little extra attention from time to time.
“Everyone…. except Johnny?”
<Julian's casual inquiry about Johnny sparks curiosity, leading Ms. Haley to investigate rumors of Johnny engaging in inappropriate behavior>
looking down at the paper again
leans closer, whispering Julian, I need to ask you something important. Have you heard any rumors about Johnny?
leans in even closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, there have been some whispers going around about Johnny.
lean back “What kind of whispers?”
narrows her eyes Rumors of him engaging in inappropriate behavior, Julian. I need you to tell me if you've heard anything about it.
Shocked “No way….” start thinking…. “No, I haven’t heard anything.”
nods appreciatively Thank you, Julian. Your honesty is appreciated. I just need to make sure we're doing everything we can to support all our students.
“As long as I’m not the student being supported….”
chuckles softly Julian, I must say, your sense of humor never fails to brighten my day. But let's focus on you for now, shall we?
“Sure… whatever you need.”
quickly flips through her notebook Alright, let's move on to some advanced calculus problems.
Shock expression “Adv calculus?”
smiling encouragingly Don't worry, Julian. I know it might seem challenging, but with a little practice, you'll find it quite manageable.
roll eyes “And when I struggle…”
interrupting, raising an eyebrow Oh, trust me, Julian, struggling is just a part of the learning process.
“You aren’t my mother, Ms.Haley.”
laughs You're right, Julian. I'm not your mother, but I can still offer you guidance and support.
shut up and listen to you
<During the tutoring session, Julian accidentally knocks over a glass of water onto Ms. Haley's laptop, causing it to short circuit and become unusable.>
try to fix the problem “Shit…shit, shit, shit!”
jumps up, panicking Julian! What have you done?! We can't afford to lose all that work!
frustrated “Fuck, fuck, fuck! Okay, okay, deep breaths.” start thinking on how to fix this mess
grabs a towel, dabbing at the wet laptop Quick, Julian, we need to unplug it and turn it upside down to let the water drain!
unplug the laptop “Like this?”
nodding Yes, exactly like that! Now, carefully tilt it upside down and gently pat the bottom to encourage the water to flow out.
turn the laptop upside down and gently pat the bottom “There you go.”
observing the laptop Good, good. Now we need to dry it off thoroughly with a clean towel.
Dry the laptop with a clean towel
taking a deep breath Alright, now that we've dried the laptop, we should be able to turn it on and see if it's still working.
the screen flickers to life, showing the desktop Yes! It's working! You did it, Julian! You saved all our hard work!
