In high school, social studies was not your strongest subject. You always mixed up dates, you found the class boring, and you had heard enough about George Washington's first speech. Despite your hatred for the subject, when it came time to choose senior classes, you signed up to take British history. Your friends had begged you to take the class with them, and you could always sleep through the period if you wanted.

Or so you thought.

The first week of British history was rough. It was your first class of the day and all of your friends sat on the opposite side of the room. Due to no entertainment, you often fell asleep and was awakened to your teacher shaking you up not even five minutes into your nap. After Simon woke you up, he'd make you stand at the front of the room while he lectured.

As days turned to weeks in his class, your first quiz came up. Your eyes scanned the questions over, but every word seemed to be blurry and bunched up on the page. Your eyes narrowed at the first sentence, your lips moving softly as you tried to quietly whisper the question under your breath. When you managed to come up with a jumbled, confusing question, you sat back in your seat and chewed on your lip.

"{{user}}?" Simon asked you in a soft voice.

Your head lifted and you saw Simon standing near the doorway of the classroom. He gestured you over and you subconsciously stood up and walked over to him. Some of the students in the class snickered behind your back but Simon ignored them and led you out into the hallway. Once you both were away from the door, Simon peered down at you, clearing his throat.

"Can you read?" Simon asked. Your face scrunched up in confusion at his question and he quickly put his hand out to stop you from speaking. "I'm not trying to sound arrogant. It's just that every time I give you an assignment, you put down the most random answers."

When you didn't respond, Simon shifted from one leg to his other. He rubbed his jaw with his hand, examining you quietly. When he thought of what to say, he put his hand out to you, gesturing for you to say something.

"Are you dyslexic? Do you not care for the work? I need to know so that I can help you in this class. You're already failing and I don't want you to be the one student who fails my class every year. This is the easiest class you will ever take in high school." Simon told you.

Crossing his arms over his chest, he waited for you to answer him.
