'🌊Time Will Reveal Whose Loss It Truly Loss-Gisselle Gullianna...🌊'

============ 

🌊HERO POV🌊 

We stay at the mall for a little while longer until we decide to leave and we back to the house. Once we get there everyone leaves "yall back already?" Augustine asks when he sees me, Val, and Emilio walking in carrying the bags "yeah." Emilio says "did yall get everything for yall rooms?" Augustine asks I just nod my head "yes..." Val says with a smile before she got interrupted by the phone "hello...excuse me." Augustine says walking away with the phone making Val's smile drop just a little. You tell he was angry neither I nor Val said anything tho but I know it hurt Val a little she was excited to tell Augustine honestly I think she putting too much faith in these people in our father. I don't want her to get hurt when he ruins her expectations "just it the business he gets really busy." Emilio says looking at Val "yeah." Val says trying to sound fine when she wasn't "let go fix your room." I say looking at her with a smile "yes!" Val says pulling Emilio and me up the stairs.

Val and Emilio argue the whole time over the music while we fix her room up. Honest, I didn't care but for them, it was the most important thing each of them finding out how the other didn't like the artist "how the heck do you not like Harry Styles?" Val yells looking at Emilio shock and anger "I mean he's alright." Emilio says with a shrug while Val gasps "you did not just say that he was of the greatest singer." Val says "Hayes." Ashton says I look up to see him standing in the door way "Augustine wants to talk to you." Ashton says making Val and Emilio look at me "ok." I say confused why would he want to talk to me?

I get up and follow Ashton "how have you and Val been?" he says making it seem like we haven't seen him in long when we saw him yesterday "we're fine hasn't been that long since we last saw you." I say while he shook his head and just for a moment I saw a smile but it quickly disappears "well you and Val have been through a lot and with these changes meeting everyone it can be overwhelming." he says I never like it when people say that. The 'you been through a lot' speech quotes whatever you want to call I heard it before. It's not complex to know we have been through a lot when people say it like a reminder of it like no shit be through a lot I don't need you to say it or remind me but I didn't say that all was I said was "yeah." looking down.

We didn't say much after that once we get to where Augustine was which I was assuming is his office. "thank you, Ashton, you can go now." Augustine says not even looking up just keep looking at the computer. Ashton nodded his head and then left closing the door while I just standing there I wasn't sure what to do. "sit down." Augustine says gestures to the two chairs in front of him and I do pay attention to his office. The room was big there were two couches in the middle of the room with a coffee table in between them and far behind it was his desk on both sides of the room there were bookcases two on each side. 

I sat down "how have you and Val been settling in?" he says but I know it wasn't what he want to talk about "fine." I say looking down I was nervous I not going to deny it I just wasn't going to show I got pretty good at it "good." he says looking away from the computer to look at me "what did you want to talk about?" I ask just getting to the point "so as you know you and Val will be starting school on Monday and passing school is very important. I look at both your and Val's schooling throughout the school years." he says I know where this is was going I felt relief.

 I thought it was going to be something important it was just school I let out a sigh of relief "Valentina's grades are good so I no worry she'll keep doing good. Your grade on the other hand are..." he says I know my grades are bad I never done good in school. When I was little I needed a lot of help understanding what we were even learning it was all so much that it was hard to remember and understand everything. The only one who would help and have the patience to help me was my mum after the accident I just gave up. I didn't have anyone help me understand it and I didn't have time I had to take care of my sister that most important thing. The teacher didn't help they already had an idea of me in their minds I was a lost cause so I didn't try if that was all there were going to see then why try to prove them wrong.

"fantastic." I say sarcastic Augustine let out a sigh "I know you and Val have been through a lot and school wasn't important I understand." he says but he didn't understand he wasn't there he was here living his best life it made me angry him saying that. My hand start balling up to make a fist I wasn't dumb I was going to do anything but the angry ' promise you learn to control your anger repeating in my head "and you being in juvie a long with everything else." he says and that when I froze.

 This was about what I thought it wasn't about what I hope it wasn't about. I try to not think about that stuff at least not no more there was an accident that happen I did what I had to do. "I...uh I don't know..." I say my leg shaking breathing was becoming harder. It like was like my body was in panic while I trying to figure out what to say "you don't have to talk about it." he says "do you know? What happen?" I ask looking I don't why but I was scared to look at the look on his face "I know I don't have anything to worry about. The rest you can tell me when you're ready." he says I just nod my head I don't know if that makes me feel better or worst "but got you a tutor." he says while I look up shock.

A fucking tutor what the hell! I know I was dumb but I didn't think I need a tutor. That was too far I pass every year now I may have to summer school a comply of time and never really pass any have tested but I still that has to count for fuck something right? "isn't that too much." I say "I don't think honest this is more than enough." he says "I been passed every school without a tutor." I say "yes this is just a little exter help." he says damn this guy. He has answered to everything "not to be rude but I don't want a tutor I've been fine without one for years I'll be fine now." I say getting to the point but how it came in out was harsh "yeah and this is what I think is the best." he says and it takes everything in me to not say something.

 I piss him having the audacity to say this the best when he never been there to know what is for the best "bullshit." I mumble shaking my head. I'm pretty sure he heard me I didn't give fuck not at this moment "Dura più a lungo di quanto pensassi (you last longer than I thought)" he says in Italian "si vas a hablar mierda de mi por lo menos dilo en un idioma que yo entienda (if you're going to talk shit about me at least say it in a language I understand)" I say in Spanish know he'll understand it "how about we make a deal." he says making look at him confused at same curious "what deal?" I ask "you have the tutor for four months and if your grade doesn't get better then we'll fire her." he says 

"four months?" I ask still seem like a lot getting suck tutor "three days out of the week for at least a couple of hour. You and the tutor can decide for how long for sure." he says that didn't sound that bad three days that it for four months "but you actually have to try and be on your best behavior." he says I also want to laugh I know I could win easily "deal." I say with a smirk four-month stuck with some lady if I play my card right hopefully she quit or gets fired sooner "deal." Augustine says with his own smirk he thinks he goes to win and it makes all the better when I win the deal. What a deal it was just a small little deal I thought how wrong I was it wasn't just some deal it was her who would have thought it would have caused all of this...
