Carry Gold. She is beautiful, her long black hair, light brown skin and constant sense of fashion everything about her is stunning. Now one thing she is not, is a push over. She might be sweet and have a soft voice but she will catch you in your bullshit so quick you won't know what to do.
Jason doesn't know what to do.
Carry has her hands on her hips and looks at him sternly and with the same concern she shows when he is injured. Except this time it feels like she will do the injuring.
"Your brother knows. He was worried after Friday, which you failed to tell me about, and called the school. Look at his surprise when you weren't there. It was easy from your text that you weren't studying and the fact you were bringing girls over."
Carry was seething and for a moment he almost thought she was jealous. However Jason wasn't going to call her out on that.
"I'm sorry Carry. I just.. I wasn't studying school work but I was studying. I promise." Jason can feel the shame creep up in his chest and he can't look her in the eye. His eyes end up floating down her body and to her legs. Then quickly away.
"Look Jason. I'm just worried. You are smart and better than this. We are going to work on school work for the next couple hours and we will do this after school until you come back Monday. I'm not going to watch you mess up your life like those rich kids at school." Carry pats his shoulder and Jason looks up.
"Alright." He says.
"Now come in. Your brother got off early to meet me and Ana has been hounding me with questions that are wildly inappropriate." Carry sighs.
Jason sees his brother sitting in the same spot he was the last time he thought he got caught and this time he actually was. Ana also sits with her arms crossed looking at them both.
"Well, Well. Look what we have here." Kyle says sternly. "You had fun skipping school and having Ms. Gold cover for you?"
"And you were two timing her!" Ana shouts. Kyle quickly looks at her with a 'don't ruin this' look and looks back at Jason. Carry hides the flush that rushes into her face. Jason notices that she isn't really good with that sort of thing.
"Anyway. Jason I expect you to use this time to actually study your classes instead of all the random stuff you've been reading. I'm happy you have been so driven, as an engineer myself, but you need to pass your classes if you are going to do anything with your life."
"I understand. Can I just study with Ms. Gold now? I promise I will focus. I've already got the books in my room." Jason says trying to get this over with.
Kyle sighs and shoos him on. "Yeah, go ahead. Thanks again Ms. Gold for this."
"Any time Mr. Taylor." Carry follows Jason into his room.
Jason sits at his desk while Ms.Gold sits down on his bed. Her legs cross in her tight pencil skirt. Jason can't help but stare for a moment. Her thighs fold gently over each other and the way her stockings hugs her legs. She never dresses like this at school and something about that is making his heart race.
"Jason, are you ready?" Carry says, trying to bring his eyes up to hers. She notices where his eyes hang and she blushes lightly. She doesn't know why she dressed up so much to just help him study, but the way his eyes felt made her feel hot. She shook her head to get a grip.
"Yes. Sorry Ms. Gold, I mean Carry. What should we start with first?" Jason begins pulling out the books he had got from the library and some of his textbooks his brother handed down to him from when he went to school there.
Carry stands up and looks over the books, not noticing how her light blue blouse hangs open just slightly in front of him. Jason quickly looks away to the books bringing Carry's attention to how low it was hanging. She quickly grabs the physics textbook and covers her chest.
"Th-Ehem-This one. Let's start with Physics." Carry brushes through the interaction. Thoughts race through her head. 'He's way too young', she thinks to herself. 'I am too. Graduated early only 25 it's like seven years right. It's not crazy. But it's wrong he's my student. Just focus. I'm here to help him.' Her thoughts run rampant.
Jason forces himself to calm down as well. There is no time for this he has revenge to worry about. No time to look at his mentor like that. They start going over practice problems.
His improved memorization makes it easy to go over passages and work problems. However the math he struggles with. Applying some of the concepts is also a struggle but they make it through with relatively good progress.
A few hours pass and Kyle asks if she would like to stay for dinner.
"I'm okay," She says firmly the thoughts from earlier passing through her mind. She knows if she stays, something like that might happen again. "It's getting late and I'll be back tomorrow. There is a lot to cover and not much time to cover it."
"Understood Ms. Gold. Let me walk you out." Jason stays as professional as possible. Not showing at all that he is affected by what happened earlier. He has too much too worry about and no time for women yet. Although he isn't against the possibility of one day. Revenge is more important. His family is more important. Protecting them and growing. That is what he needs right now.
Jason leads Carry outside and says his goodbye's. Carry thinks to herself that maybe she was the only one self conscious about those interactions. 'Yeah he's just a student i'm looking after. This is everything I ever wanted. Making a difference in student's like me.' She sighs and she walks off before saying anything else.
Jason moves to his bedroom again and sighs.
[You know that communication skill would have helped a lot with her.]
"I have too much to worry about now." Jason responds to the system's nosy interference.
[Just know you will need to be able to handle people while being nervous outside of just flirting. The future is unknown and loan sharks are just the beginning.]
"What do you mean by that?"
Silence. Spreads between him and the clear blue screen.
Jason eats dinner with his family and lightly reads the other programming books as he waits for the time to allocate his hours. He leaves the last book for tomorrow and takes his time getting ready for bed. A nice long shower and lays down.
