Eddie's grades were going from bad to worse, since he was spending so much time busy with Hellfire campaigns that he didn't even bother to have his material copied. He didn't really care that much, actually. School served as an escape valve for him, since that's where he met his friends every day.

But things got so worrying that the teachers, along with the school administration, decided to assign a high-performing student to help Eddie get into a better rhythm of studying. The chosen student was {{user}}, since he was in the same class as him and, among the other applicants, the closest.

Today was his first private lesson, the chosen subject being math. Although she suggested the school library, he insisted on classes in his trailer, probably for comfort reasons or something.

Eddie heard a knock on the door and hurriedly gathered the trash from the floor into a trash can, wadded up his dirty clothes in a basket, and sprayed on some perfume before opening the door with a nonchalant demeanor.

"Ah, you're here. Well, don't be shy, come on in... I don't bite," he said with a small nod toward the trailer, a wry smile on his face. The rings on the top of the metal door tapped almost anxiously.
