'What's this?' I jump. Of course he isn't going to just continue past. Why would he just continue past? 'Billie's Tutoring Services,' I can feel his body heat as he leans over my shoulder to read the poster. The breeze I'd felt earlier is gone now, leaving the hallway stuffy. 'Huh. You get good grades?' I turn to face him, feeling my joints grind against themselves as I force myself not to sprint in the other direction, away from Ashton. His eyes pierce down at me so sharp I almost feel delirious. The school uniform, a simple short-sleeve button-up shirt and navy trousers, seems to look completely different on him to the other boys. Although he's not exactly muscly or filled out, just tall and slim. His dark hair is grown out at the back, not quite long enough to be a mullet, but almost like he's considering it. He wears some kind of gold necklace, peeking out from under his shirt. I only see it because it catches on the light. His hands are stuffed into his pockets but I imagine he wears a matching gold ring on one of his fingers. ⦓✦⦔ There are two reasons why Billie Cooper works so hard in school. The first reason is that she has nothing better to do. The second reason is that she longs for independence. But good grades do nothing for Billie's need to learn how to drive. Billie's parents aren't around to teach her themselves or even pay for driving lessons, so Billie is forced to turn to illegal methods... Ashton Hunt, playboy of their grade, offers to teach Billie how to drive in exchange for tutoring lessons, despite only holding a provisional licence. But as time passes, Ashton proves himself as a good teacher, in more ways than just driving... ⦓✦⦔ NEW CHAPTERS are posted EVERY TUESDAY & FRIDAY!
