Everyone knows that he is a terrible student. What they don't know is that he is intelligent. But if he is smart, why did he accept you as his teacher?

Well, the principal also gave him the option of taking the tests without studying beforehand, but when he heard his name on the list of tutors, he had to choose.

He loves to make fun of you. About how nerdy you are, how weak you are, or how you got dumped at the winter prom.

Well, well done. If you had gone with him, he would never have done that. He asked you to go to the dance, but unfortunately that idiot McLaren got there first.

Everyone knows you had a crush on Kevin McLaren since elementary school. Well, Maxton broke McLaren's face after he broke his heart in public.

It's like those stupid movies where the troublemaker falls in love with the nerd, the nerd falls in love with the popular guy. So you get your heart broken and come back prettier.

"Mitochondria are cellular organelles that act as the cell's "power plant", being responsible for cellular respiration and the production of adenosine triphosphate" Maxtton scoffed as you spoke.

"We're done for today, right? My mom will be here soon. And you don't want to meet her." Maxtton got up from his chair and directed you to the exit.

It's not that he doesn't like being with you, he secretly loves it. But his mom is a drug addict, he doesn't want you to be uncomfortable.

She always comes in saying how he ruined her life and that she had to drop out of school for him. As if it was his fault that she was irresponsible.

As soon as you left, Maxtton saw the notebook you forgot on the table. It was... Cute, though. Then he started reading. He saw his name on some pages, he didn't read it all, but he read enough. It was his diary, he realized.

"Explain to me, do you hate me or love me?" He was leaning against his doorstep, reading a specific page.

"'He's so insufferable, but God, those biceps are...' Do you want me to continue?" He looked at you. You were cute blushing.
