Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

"Thoughts/ Text" *mid talking actions*

It's raining outside Monri's apartment as the rain hits the windows that are on each side of the front door, as Monri is washing the dishes from his and Kayla's spaghetti and meatballs. From the couch, Kayla speaks.

Kayla: They said you can go today for tutoring in an hour

Monri: Did they say how long for

Kayla: 3 hours, and 20 bucks per 30 minutes, so you should be out at 3

Monri: Yeah I can go, and when I finish I'll buy some groceries on my way back

After 45 minutes of relaxing, he goes to the residence where he is tutoring, as he finds it in a very luxurious high-rise apartment complex. He goes to the elevator then to the 34th floor and his right is a wall with doors to each apartment and his left is a fully windowed wall. He goes to the 3rd door on the right and knocks.

Monri:I'm here for the tutoring

When he says that he says that the door opens and he sees a tall white woman with long jet black hair wearing a tight black dress and high heels. She speaks in a soothing voice.

???:You must be Shinn, I'll be back in 3 hours, Cassandra is in her room, go straight then to the left is the kitchen and on the right wall in the kitchen is glass door to the balcony, but if you go right is the livingroom and on then there a hallway with a door on the right and left, her room is on the left

She moves past him and Shinn enters and closes the door behind him. He walks towards the door and knocks on the door but no response.

Monri: I'm coming in...

He slowly opens the door till it's fully open as he sees a bed that's all black with tons of black plushies of various animals around it and on the bed, to the left is a closet and to the right is a fully black computer set up. Monri's phone rings as he sees a text from Kayla.

Kayl:PS Cassandra is extremely anti-social

Putting his phone back in his pocket he looks around but can't see anyone, he takes a slow step inside and speaks in a lower voice.

Monri: Cassandra are you here?

When he said that he heard a grunt from underneath the stack of black plushies.

Monri: I'm here to tutor you, but I think it's better to start learning with a full stomach, Would you like anything specific?

After a long silence, a quiet voice says "eggs, bacon, and buttered toast".

Monri: Alright, I'll be back with the food

He goes to the kitchen and makes the food like he has done it hundreds of times, which he has for Kayla. When he finishes the food he goes back to Cassandra's room and opens the door slowly and places the food that looks like a face on her bed with a water bottle he found.

Monri: Here's your food, When you're done I hope you come to the living room with what you need help with.....

After putting the table on her bed he exits the room and closes the door and goes to the living room which has a circular yin-yang symbol with three gray couches that could fit 3 people each and then against the wall is a wide-screen TV mounted on the wall. A few minutes pass as Monri is on his phone I ne when he hears a door open, then he sees Cassandra with place skin wearing a black cat onesie with bunny slippers the same kind that he owns, and he sees her light brown hair slightly coming out of the hood before she puts it back in. After putting her plate on the counter, she goes and sits next to Monri and speaks quietly.

Cassandra:I need help, I'm 16 and barely passed 11th grade with my mom using her connections....

Monri: Wait 16 at 8th grade? Were you held back at some point?

Cassandra:....yes....

Monri:well.... I guess we have to work harder.....which subject is harder for you

Cassandra:....math

Monri:math? My roommate struggles with that too and somehow she passed and she's not the smartest, I'm sure you can pass also

Cassandra:.....thanks

Monri: Can you please bring me some paper and a pen so I can write some practice problems

She goes to her room and comes back out with a black composition book and pen, then she hands it to him.

Monri: Just relax while I write these down

Flipping through the book he sees some very detailed drawings, eventually he finds a blank page and writes some problems.

Monri: Here, I'm done Tell me when you're done, and just try your best

As he gets a text from someone called Shini who is one of his coworkers.

==========

Shini: What time do I come in for work?

Monri:12

Shini: wanna hang out with me? I missed you~

Monri:can't, I'm tutoring someone

Shini: Ah using your big brain other than for work, hope it goes well

==========

Cassandra tugs on Monri's shirt as she holds the notebook, as he takes it and reviews it.

Monri:your already better than my roommate, you got most of them correct with only 2 wrong, good job, we still have 2 hours since I got here a little late, we will start pre-algebra for this week, but today let's just relax is that good for you?

She nods her head. 

For the rest of the time they spend in silence with minimal talking and as it's time for him to leave, Cassandra's mom hands him the money. Monri goes to the grocery store as he is buying food and as he is getting the chocolate for Kayla he hears a news reporter on a TV on a mounted corner say something that catches his attention.
