Thread: Out of School Lessons (Niah & Bevatoria)

The older woman who answered the door was very pretty, at least in Ally's opinion. At first when approaching she hadn't looked particularly happy, however there was an attempt to brighten up as she smiled slightly. Hi, Mrs. Holtz is it? Ally replied pleasantly and took a step inside. Her hair fell across her face somewhat as she looked down towards her necklace, giving it a quick touch. Oh thank you, always nice to have a little something with colour. She replied, pushing her hair back to it's original position. Never get a teenage girl started when it came to fashion, Ally could probably fill an hour long conversation just with accessory anecdotes. She followed her host into the kitchen, oh no, thank you though. They then continued into a modest sized study and Ally glanced around as Mrs. Holtz gathered up a laptop. You have a lovely home. She told the woman politely, Ally always made sure to mind her Ps and Qs around adults. It was especially important with the upbringing that she had, as the majority of adults that her parents would introduce her to were often influential and powerful. As Mrs. Holtz continued to speak, Ally couldn't help but notice a hint of sadness within her words. A slight feeling of uneasiness crept up on the young woman, turns out Chase didn't want her here. What made things worse is that according to his mum, even though he was failing most of his classes, he was actually quite smart. So... why was Ally here? If the guy had the ability to pass his classes, why wasn't he doing it? Her feeling about the entire situation deteriorated even more as Chase came in. He stared at the floor like a bratty child as his father stood behind him with his arms crossed, looking as if he had, had to frog march him down the stairs. Hi Ally gave a slight wave as the two were introduced. He scowled before pretty much telling his parents to get lost. It was an act that obviously hurt his mother, going by her expression as she left the room. Mr. Holtz then seemed to have a stern word in his son's ear, before exiting also. To be honest Ally was tempted to leave right then and there. She didn't sign up to be involved in some family soap opera and Chase clearly didn't want a tutor. The only thing that made her stay was the thought of how unprofessional it would be to quit on her first day. This was, after all, an attempt to showcase herself in a positive light for potential colleges. Quitting this early in would only give the impression that she was immature and hadn't thought her little business plan through well enough. She stayed silent as the male continued to scowl, only replacing it with a smirk once his parents were completely alone. His next sentence simply caused her to roll her eyes, she was rich and pretty, this wasn't exactly her first time dealing with a creep. Though he was considerably better looking than most of the cat callers on the street, she still decided on not rising to the bait. Hooray for me. She simply replied in a stale manner, glancing Chase up and down in a way that showed she clearly didn't think much of him. Ally placed her folders on the desk and opened the top one on up, flipping through the pieces of paper that were inside. She leaned against the desk slightly, reading everything over. We have several units to get through, any preference on which you wanted to start with first? No point messing around with small talk and false pleasantries. She was here to tutor, so she might as well just get on with it.
