Prologue


"_______, I think we need to have a chat after class today."  Your European history teacher, Mr. Holland, said as he handed you your red pen mark covered test.

You sighed and gave the Dutchman a weak smile.  This wasn't the first time he had asked you to stay after to chat with him about your marks, no, in fact it was the second time this week he had asked to have a chat with you.

Much sooner than you had hoped the bell dismissing all of the students rung.  You quickly gathered your things and walked up to Mr. Holland's desk.

"I suppose I don't have to tell you what I want to talk about, _______."  He said with small frown.

"Mr. Holland I'm trying, I really am!  I just-"  You began, but your green eyed teacher quickly cut you off.

"_______, I know how hard you've been trying.  I see you in the library studying all the time, I know it must be frustrating for you, trying so hard and not seeing any results, so I wanted to give you another option."  The tall man said.

Your (e/c) eyes widened.  "A-another option?"  You stuttered out.

Your teacher nodded.  "Let me tutor you,_______, Monday through Friday after school."  He said plainly.

"But won't that be inconvenient for you, Mr. Holland?"  You asked.  You were genuinely surprised by his offer seeing as you had been expecting him to give you another lecture and tell you to hurry off to your next class.

The man shrugged his shoulders.  "Sort of," he admitted "but it's my job to help out students that are struggling."  After he finished speaking Mr. Holland offered you one of his rare smiles and quickly scribbled out a hall pass for you so you wouldn't be marked tardy for your next class.

"Thank you, Mr. Holland."  You muttered as you took the bright pink pass from him.

"Tim."  He said suddenly.

"Tim?"  You questioned, raising a thin eyebrow.

"Call me Tim.  I'll see you after school."  He muttered.  You could have sworn a faint pink blush had appeared on his cheeks.

You smiled, letting out a small laugh.  "Right, well I'll be seeing you, Tim."  You said before exiting his classroom with a small smile gracing you lips.
