STUDY SESSION #1

[nicholasbabcock]

If there was one thing that Nicholas was good at it was helping other people especially when it came to studying. It was something that he loved doing and it came naturally to him so he tried to help as many people as he could. Sometimes before finals he would hold a big study group with whoever wanted to come which usually turned out pretty big considering. It was the main reason that he wanted to become a teacher after high school and what his future plans included. Seeing the look in someone’s eyes when they finally understand whatever it was that they were studying made him extremely happy. He was hoping that this would be the case for Daisy and that it wasn’t just her not trying when it came to all of this. He would find out, though, if she was willing to really study tonight. He wasn’t standing out there long before she came to the door and opened it. “Thank you” he said stepping into her house, looking around. “You have a beautiful home.” He looked at what she was wearing and couldn’t help but stare for a moment before he looked back up at her. “So, where should we study?”

Daisy was happy her plan came together so seamlessly, she wanted to do better in school but it was impossible to just pay attention in class and expect to do well, so she hoped the one on one time with Nicholas would actually make a difference. She still didn’t know much about him, they both ran in different circles and as far as anyone knew, even her friends, that continued to be a reality. “No worries,” She said as he stepped inside, closing the door behind him and turning around to face him. “Thanks, I can’t take all the credit though - my mom’s really good at interior design so she keeps this place looking snazzy.” She said smiling, noticing his stare - it must’ve been the outfit but at least he was somewhat discreet, not like other boys around their school. That was another reason she trusted him with bringing him over, he didn’t look like he was in it just to spend time with her, from their conversation the other day she noticed his interest in helping. “We can go to my room if you want? I have my books there anyways unless that’s too weird.” She chuckled with the last part of her offer.

STUDY SESSION #1

Nicholas was nervous to say the least because he knew the reputation that Daisy had. She was head cheerleader and he was far from being popular by any means. He was a nerd in all sense of the word but that didn’t matter much to him because he liked the way that he was. It was something that he fully embraced for as long as he could remember and this wasn’t going to stop anything time soon. He was shocked that she had even asked for his help in the first place but he was never one to turn down helping someone. Especially someone as hot as Daisy. He may have been a nerd but he wasn’t blind. He had gotten her address earlier and made his way over to her place, getting more nervous as time went on. He parked his car a little ways down the road just in case her dad came home before heading toward her house. He remembered that she wanted him to come through the back door so he went around until he found it and knocked after standing there for a few minutes.

Daisy watched as her mother ran all over her room, trying to find a specific necklace that would go extremely well with what she wanted to wear. It was an oddly specific necklace and of course she wouldn’t leave without it so instead enjoying her scavenger hunt from a far, she joined it - eventually finding it on her dresser, the last place she would’ve looked. Once she had it on, she walked down the stairs to find her father waiting for her and it would’ve been something out of a romantic movie if the two weren’t bickering about being late. Daisy walked right behind them wrapping her arms around their waists and saying “You’re not gonna get there any faster by bickering, so I love you and I’m pushing you out of your house for your own good.” She was essentially just pushing them closer to the door. The two eventually walked out and Daisy now had the place to her own which meant it was time to get the books and other things she’d need. She didn’t know much about Nicholas, except for the fact that he was smart enough to help her pass her class and that despite his status he was still pretty attractive, but it wasn’t like she’d ever let those words out of her mouth. Daisy thought about changing but decided to keep on cheer outift and made her way back down stairs at the sound of someone knocking on the back door. She opened to see her highly awaited tutor at her door. “Hey, glad you could make it - come in.” She said standing aside to let him in.

“Then I don’t think either of us have anything to worry about. Parents are overprotective and even more so over their daughters than their sons I’ve found out. Are you saying that you’re a bad girl and he knows it? Yeah I’ll see you at seven o’clock sharp.”

[daisyaisms-blog]

“I guess you’re right. You're definitely right about that, I’m an actual witness of it so who better to verify it. Maybe, you might just have to see for yourself though. Great, can’t wait.”

[nicholasbabcock]

“You just have to know the right ways to get things like this to stick. It won’t be easy, that’s for sure but if you want to learn and are committed, it’ll happen. i mean I guess I can see his point. Fathers don’t want to think about their daughters like that. At least not the good ones. Secret tutoring? I think I can handle that.”

[daisyaisms-blog]

“I can imagine so but I really want these grades up so I’ll actually try and make an effort. They really don’t, and I guess things just happen so fast nowadays they don’t want to let anything fly past them when it comes to their daughters but I’ve also never been that good anyways so he does have a bit of a point. That’s what I like to hear, so seven at my place at the back door, I’ve got to run for cheerleading uniform fittings, so I’ll just see you there?” 

[nicholasbabcock]

“Well by the time that we’re done, you’ll be getting A’s on your tests, trust me. True and aspirations are good for everybody. Oh wow. I - um. Does he know that’s not what it actually means?”

[daisyaisms-blog]

“That sounds promising, I’ve got a lot of hope you can live up to your words because I’m dedicated but this stuff just doesn’t stick. You’re right so I’m glad you’re mine for now. Probably, but he just doesn’t want to let go of the belief so it’ll just have to be secret tutoring until my grades are better.”

[nicholasbabcock]

“This test was a little harder than all the other ones so don’t get so down about failing it. Not everyone can be a genius like me. Exactly. Variety is very, very good. Back door? Got it. I mean all we’re doing is studying so what’s wrong with that?”

[daisyaisms-blog]

“I’ll try not to, guess there isn’t much I can do at this point anyways asides getting your help. We can all aspire to be though. He’s pretty old fashioned, he thinks studying is code word for anyone of the opposite gender to fuck my brains out before marriage.” 

[nicholasbabcock]

“I can’t say that you’re wrong about that because my gpa proves otherwise. Not that I like to brag or anything. True. I think it’s very rare for many people to have the same habits whether it was studying or something else. I mean it wouldn’t be fun if we all were the same, right? Tonight? I - I think I can do that. How does seven sound?”

[daisyaisms-blog]

“At least I’m right about something, still wish it had been on this test though - no offence. Yeah exactly, variety is what makes people interesting in the long run. Seven is perfect but just in case they run late, you should come in from the back door. My dad isn’t a fan of boys in the house.”

[nicholasbabcock]

“Well, I mean yeah but I didn’t even know that you knew who I was. I guess that’s what happens when friends get together. Or at least I think that’s what happens. My friends and I study when we’re together so we’re not the same. Yeah I’ll help you out. When do you want to start studying together?”

[daisyaisms-blog]

“Of course I know who you are, you’re the smartest person here that’s who. Well we all have our strengths and weaknesses when it comes to studying, can’t blame anyone for not being the same. Great then! My parents are out tonight so if you’re not busy, I know it’s pretty short notice but it’d be a perfect opportunity.”

[nicholasbabcock]

“Are you talking to me? I mean I - yeah I can help you if you want help. I mean are you sure that’s what you want? You wouldn’t rather have a friend help?”

[daisyaisms-blog]

“Well duh, you are sitting next to me aren’t you? No, my friends don’t cut it - we just end up eating pizza and talking or going out instead of studying, they’re as helpless as I am so yeah, I’m picking you to help me what’d ya say?”

[daisyaisms-blog]

“I can’t believe I flunked this bio stupid test, I had an all nighter and it still didn’t help. You know I’d really appreciate your help studying, think you could give me a hand?”
