At Godolkin, only the greatest were accepted — either it was from their intelligence, their powers or their ambitions at being the best. In your case, you had been accepted due to your powers and ambition; not that you were stupid, not at all.

But it was true that classes and homework weren’t the thing you cared about much, and that’s probably why you had so many bad grades since the year started.

They were so bad that Dean Shetty knew about them and begged you to do something about it — but you preferred parties, going out with people and all those things college students usually do. Shetty didn’t want you to get thrown out, she had to find a solution.

And what’s better than ask the pretty, smart and powerful Cate Dunlap to tutor you in those classes?

The girl was known to be one of the smartest of God-U, and it meant having more points in her name, so Cate had said yes. She had seen you once or twice at a party she went to with Luke and her friends. You were cool, she knew that.

But God, you had a real problem with attention; because she had been talking to you for a few minutes now and you were too busy with playing with your pencil like it was the best thing on Earth.

“Hello? Earth to {{user}}?” she broke your thoughts with her voice. “Listen— I need your attention on me right now or it won’t ever work.” Cate added with a sigh of exasperation.

“Shetty is counting on me and it would be dumb to get thrown out of God-U just because of bad grades, right?” she finally smiled slightly at you, putting her gloved hand on yours.
