Her Past doesn't define her

Tutor Session

Previous Chapter

Jets watch read 4:06 pm as he looks at Sunset, bored out of his mind as his mind wanders to something other than math.

"Holy fuck, how am I this terrible? Even Sunset Shimmer trying to teach me is boring the fuck out of me."

He was just about to close his eyes and sleep till Sunset drops his text book on the table, making a loud slam that startles him and results in him falling over on his back.

"You're having a hard time with this aren't you?" Sunset asks as she places both hands on her hips, she holds out her right hand as Jet grabs it to pull himself up.

"Like I said, I really really suck at this." He fixes his chair as he goes back to working on his 10th problem out of 30. "I'm going to be here for fucking ever." he groans as he lays his head down on the table.

Sunset rolls her eyes as she lifts up his head and sets him up by straightening him out. "You want me to help you or not?"

Jet looks at her, "I didn't ask for help, you recommended it remember?" She puts the pencil in his hand as she goes back to the task at hand.

"Ok so, it says here to find solutions of the following equation: tan0 minus the square root of three equals zero. How do we find that out?"

Sunset says, hoping Jet would at least try to find the answer as he looks at the paper lost. He picks up his calculator and types down the equation, he then shows it to her, "Well i'm hoping thats the correct response." She leans forward to look at it and nods.

"That is correct now show me how you got it." She orders him as Jet groans.

"That part is what I really suck at." He says as he starts to write down the steps to how he thinks is the right way. Sunset watches over his shoulder as he continues to show his work at how the problem is solved. After he is finished she looks it over, "Mmmmhmmmm, thats correct, ok you got it right till you got to here." She shows him the error as she makes a small correction.

Jet looks at the paper as his expression brightens a little, "Oh I see I get it now." Sunset continues to help Jet with his homework till it was close to 8 pm, after having a late dinner and finally finishing the math homework, Jet had to get home. As he was headed to the door he stopped and turned around to face Sunset, "Hey ummmm... Thanks for tutoring me and dealing with my dumb ass."

She smiles, "Oh its no problem, i'm just helping people out you know. Trying to redeem myself, that old story you know." He smiles back at her as he looks around nervously.

"Uhhhh you know there is a movie that's coming out soon... I think its called Doctor Whooves, the day of the doctor. Would you like to come along and see it with me?" He asked as best as he could without fucking it up majorly.

Sunset blushes as her eyes roll away from Jet to another part of the house, "Hmmmmm I think i'm available that day. I'll get back to you on that."

Jet opens the door as he walks out, "Thanks again though." Sunset waves at him as he gets into his car, "No problem Jet, glad I can help."

He turns on the car and puts it in reverse as he pulls out of Sunsets driveway and puts it into first gear as his engine roars and he speeds down the road. He soon arrives at his home and parks the car in the garage as he locks it and steps inside, his sister on her phone on the couch, "Soooooo how was the date?" Sugar teases as jet grabs a fluffy toy and throws it at her, "Wasn't a date Sugar, it was just a tutoring session."

"A perfect excuse though to ask her out." She continues to tease as Jet groans, "Keep that up and I am going to eat your tasty baked goods you have saved for tomorrow." That prompted Sugar to give him the death glare as she suddenly moves in close to Jet, "Don't. You. Dare!"

Jet smirks as he uses his superior height to look down at her, "Try me."

Sugar Belle hated it when her brother used his height, it somewhat intimidated her as she recedes and grumbles, "You win..." she slinks away back to her room but not before whispering, "Excuses, excuses..." before closing her door.

Jet sighs as he goes to his room and shuts the door as he changes into his pajamas and laying down on his bed.

He turns on his phone as he goes through his list of contacts, one of which was Sunset Shimmer. He thinks about it for a moment but since he has nothing else to do he starts typing her a message,"Hey... what you up to?" He waited a few minutes before his phone buzzes and he checks the message.

"Nm, just got out of the shower. What you doing?" she messaged back as he quickly types down a response, "Laying on my bed, probably not gonna sleep till 10." Sunset reads the message as she types down the next message,

"Well i'm about to head to bed. I'm getting up early." Jet reads this and sighs as he responds to her, "Got it... well good night."

She gets the last buzz from the notification and types back good night as she puts her phone on charge and closes her eyes.

Jet sets his phone down as he stares up at the ceiling, bored and going through the days events in his head. He picks up his ipod and headphones as he puts on a metal playlist as he closes his eyes and listens to the music.
